✦ Party Crashers

[radscience]

The portal appears out of nowhere. It’s a giant, opposing mass that, even though it obviously doesn't belong, seems to draw you in as though it’s meant just for you. You have two options; you can walk into it of your own violation, or be forcibly dragged into the unknown. Either way, you end up speeding through an endless void.

“It works!”

You hear the voice from somewhere in the distance and you lurch towards it, tumbling out into a brightly colored, unfamiliar room. The trip leaves you feeling woozy, making the world seem like a kaleidoscopic blur. Someone approaches, offering a hand to help you to your feet before moving on to someone near you. When your vision finally clears, you see Peppermint Butler stepping away from the last traveler, moving to Princess Bubblegum’s side as she smiles and waves to the small gathering of new-comers.

“Welcome, travelers! Good, you all seem to have arrived in one piece, so please do not be alarmed by the sudden change in scenery. I can assure you that everything is going as planned. Now, I’m sure you all must be very confused, so let the questions commence! ”

[Dipper rolls his eyes playfully, adjusting his hat as they weave down a sidewalk presumably made out of what appears to be graham crackers.]

Yeah no kidding...but I think even you would get sick of candy after the first month, don't you think?

[Gosh Dipper isn't even sure he'd last a week on nothing but candy. Surely they have OTHER food here....right?]

[bedazzling]

Maaaybe... But I'm sure it's nowhere as bad as Smile Dip.

[She can't help but wonder how everyone survives in the Candy Kingdom too. Is candy all they eat? Perhaps the Candy People, seeing as they're made out of candy, have a stomach only for candy and sweets? Well, in any case, she has the feeling that Princess Bubblegum wouldn't bring travellers from various worlds to her kingdom and not have necessities for them. Maybe in one of those treehouses she has set up for them? Speaking of which...]

Hey, Dipper, do you know where you're going to stay yet? In the treehouses or somewhere else or...

[Because wherever you stay, your twin sister is going to tag along. Sleepovers are always fun.]

[pinevestigator]

Weell....I didn't think we were going to be staying here long enough to need a place to stay, but....wherever we go it'll probably be in one of those treehouses the Princess was talking about.

[Oh yeah, Dipper's well aware. In fact, he probably wouldn't settle with Mabel staying anywhere else but with him. He's already lumped you into the equation, Mabel.]

At the most I'm guessing we'll only be here a day or two....but she made it sound like we would be going home right away, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[bedazzling]

Hmm...

[Mabel finds it odd for there to be a group of treehouses prepared just for them if they were only going to be here for a short while. A day or two actually quite makes sense; she's sure that Princess Bubblegum wouldn't want to be burdened with housing her guests in her castle, but she hasn't the slightest clue. The anticipation's killing her, really.]

I guess you're right... Hey, didn't she say she wanted to learn about our world? ...Pffft, imagine telling her about all the adventures we had so far in Gravity Falls! I mean, there was the gnomes, Old Man McGucket's crazy robot, the evil wax figures, Gideon, the convenience store ghosts...

[Oh, the list could go on and on.]

[pinevestigator]

Ha, yeah...if we tried to tell her everything we'd be here more than a couple of days, I know that much.

[Dipper had been thinking about that ever since Bubblegum expressed her curiosity concerning the world they came from. To be honest, he wasn't exactly sure how much he was comfortable telling. Back home he'd be estatic to tell everyone about the mysterious goings on of Gravity Falls, and admittedly he could probably talk to the Princess for hours on end about his experiences....but after everything that happened, he'd begun to wonder about the consequences of too many people knowing too much. Things had gotten progressively dangerous for all of them during those last few days, culminating with Gideon summoning Bill, and then later getting the deed to the Mystery Shack.

What if the Princess intended to visit other worlds herself? If she brought them there....]

Well, either way, we'll just have to see what happens over the next few days.

[incaseofpinata]

[Dipper, you may not have to wait for the next few days. Because here's somebody familiar around the corner, licking what appears to be a lamppost made out of an oversized peppermint stick.

Clearly this was the best idea.]

Thippuh! Mawel! Cheth it ouk, evweythink ith mage oth candy!

[No, not even the fact that the Pines twins just came into view could deter him from his quest to eat every piece of architecture. This place is dreamlike enough that he figures if he doesn't, it'll all just disappear. Clearly he was brought here on a mission.

A sweet one.]

[bedazzling]

Yeah, I guess s– ...Soos!

[Dipper, consider your conversation with Mabel forgotten. She grins widely and rushes over to her friend, Waddles following behind her with a few soft snorts. When she's close enough, she simply stares up at Soos with bright eyes, clearly elated to see him as well as excited by his mention of the candy-ridden paradise they were in.]

I know! Isn't it great?! It's like... well, everything I've ever dreamed of!

[Which is mainly Dream Boy High, but she'll admit the Candy Kingdom, albeit lacking in cute boys, could top that fantasy in every way.]
