week 3, Sunday, post-execution

[pinesfortruth]

[so after ... That... display, Dipper's a bit hesitant to approach Jake (and Dirk, who is probably his shadow), but then again-- he said he'd wanted to talk, and maybe it'd get his mind off of... disembowelment, which wowie is Dipper trying to not Think about that, like, at all. so. he gives the boy enough time to like wash out the blood probably (yikes? yikes) before going to find him]

Hey, Jake, um-- [should he mention the execution. let's not? let's not] you wanted to talk?

[dirk will get a little awkward half-wave of acknowledgement. wow dipper. super smooth. nailed it.]

No, that was just normal Gravity Falls stuff. [err] Our parents sent Mabel and I to live with our great-uncle Stan for the summer in a little town in the middle of nowhere called Gravity Falls. It turns out it's kind of a... center? I guess? For weirdness and the supernatural.

Oh, did you have fun? [Clearly the important part.]

[splinten]

[jake why]

[pinesfortruth]

Yeah, it was probably the best summer of my life before the whole. Weirdmageddon thing. The end of the world is kind of a downer.

[potentite]

I know that feeling. [Minus all the terrible shit that happened towards the end and totally fucked up all their friendships and left them dead, the beginning of Sburb, just hanging out together, was probably the happiest he'd been since he was a little kid.]

[splinten]

It sounds like it was an interesting time. [Which is nice]

[pinesfortruth]

Yeah, it was. You would not believe the stuff I've been through. [a beat] Actually you guys specifically would absolutely believe it, but it's been great. Is the point.

[potentite]

[Jake can't help laughing a little again and smiling. Despite everything today, he's able to still feel like this.] I... feel okay right now. I think I can remember hope for a while longer. Thank you.

[splinten]

Yeah. Thanks, Dipper.

[pinesfortruth]

... No problem.

[he's glad he helped]
