[ Ohh joy, these just keep getting better, don't they?
Dipper's been through this song and dance enough times to know what it means. New arrivals are showing up today, everyone's going to be pulled into VIVID, it'll start out harmless enough and then progressively get worst and worst as the session goes on until they're mercifully allowed to log out. Things will go back to the way they were before, only the city will be a little more crowded.
At this point, he's not even really looking for anyone he knows. It's just like he told Chara. He's just not that lucky.
He has enough to keep himself preoccupied, anyway. An uncomfortable tuxedo, for one. The expectation that he should be wooing someone for another. And finally, there's that old man, announcing that this is, apparently, a battle royale.
Of course it is.
Despite his general apathy, he starts to book it towards a table to duck under. Even if it doesn't really count inside VIVID, he'd rather just stay away from any iteration of dying for awhile. He's too distracted sizing up his surroundings to pay attention to what's right in front of him - which is why he runs straight into someone, full kilter, and falls backwards unceremoniously. ]
