Who: Dipper & YOU
When: IC 3/21
Where: ALIEN JUNGLE
What: Dipper realizes Mabel has disappeared. He takes it Poorly.
Rating/Warning: None besides SADNESS.
[ one of the first things dipper had done with mabel in the jungle was set up precautions in case one of them ever got lost. tree markings. home base. bird calls. generally, not wandering too far away from each other and telling the other where they were going. after all, they were practical enough to not want to get lost in an alien jungle, even if it was an alien jungle. dipper tempered his curiosity to explore too much, because he didn't want to leave mabel alone for too long. lest she try to befriend one of those tall, colorful birds, or something.
his measures had all worked well enough, and by the time they've been in the jungle for almost a week, dipper started to think of himself as a survivalist. he had a plan, and it was working. everything was good.
until it wasn't.
dipper had left mabel at their base camp, going off to find more edible plants and sure, maybe jot down some notes about the fauna around here in his journal. he wouldn't be gone long. a half-hour, maybe. but ever the investigator, his excursion ends up taking him longer than planned, and by the time he gets back to the camp, mabel is gone.
at first, he didn't really think that much of it, even if she hadn't mentioned she was planning to go anywhere. she probably just got distracted, or one of her friends had come along. she'd promised to mark the trees at his request, too, and no markings did he see - but she'd probably just forgotten. he didn't need to panic. he shouldn't worry.
except that ever-present kernel of doubt in his mind doesn't make that so easy. he can't just sit idly by while his sister is unaccounted for in a dangerous, wild jungle. so he starts to look for her, initially at a brisk pace, but as soon as it becomes clear that she's not nearby their camp, he starts to run. ]
Mabel? Mabel! Where are you?
[ he calls out her name as he runs, panic-fueled adrenaline sending him sprinting (though it's hard to breathe) throughout other camps, the abandoned village, along the river...pretty much everywhere. because until he's found her, no place can be ruled out.
unless, unless...
he will stop to implore anyone he comes across for help. ]
Have you seen my sister? Mabel? Oh no - She's wearing a sweater, and a ribbon in her hair - please, I have to find her.
[ please, please, please, don't let her be -
- why didn't he keep her safe, this is all his fault -
he has to find her. ]
