Whoa, hey, are you sure - [ but he doesn't even have time to get the question out all the way before link takes off running, sword drawn. just what was he planning?

dipper's uncertainty causes him to hesitate, but he does as instructed a moment later and goes right at the fork, passing the other guy and the ghost. of course, his moment of hesitation causes him to catch sight of the ghost grabbing link's arm, and dipper skids to a stop. ]

Oh, shoot! [ DUDE WHAT DOES HE DO. he can't just leave him here with the ghost! ]

[72hr]

[As soon as the ghost touches him, Link feels a surge of disgust submerge his mind. He manages to jerk his arm away and out of the ghost's grip, but he tumbles backwards and lands on his butt as he's assaulted with the memory of undead bodies, charred buildings and thick, dark clouds. He could see the central fountain in Hyrule Castle Town again, crumbling and bloodstained. The air smelled like sulfur. Like a volcano. He doesn't like this place; he'd made it go away already. He'd erased it from ever existing. But all the sights and sounds and smells were yanked to the forefront of his mind, and all he could do now was gasp on the ground and grab his head.

He can hear Dipper's voice, although he doesn't understand what he said. What is he doing...? Link told him to just keep running. Now, like this, he'll get caught... he'll turn into a Redead too, or get thrown into that massive lava pit, or crushed by falling bricks... Why didn't he keep running?

Link squints at him from the ground, upside down, his head pressed to the floor and tipped backwards.

No... no, this isn't Castle Town... it's that dark hallway, and this boy is... well, that boy he'd been running with a second ago.]

S-Stay back! [Link feels for his sword beside him, but doesn't find it. Crap, here comes the ghost. It reaches out for him again, but its palms slap the floor as Link sloppily but successfully rolls out of the way.]

[cryptologic]

[ dipper is in no hurry to get grabbed by the ghost, but he can't just leave this guy here to his fate. link isn't the only one here who can be stubbornly heroic.

though dipper doesn't have a sword or any sort of weapon to fight off the ghost with. he could do something stupid, like try to distract it while the other boy gets up, and...yep, that's what he's going to do, something stupid.

but let's face it. heroism is just when doing stupid stuff for other people actually works, right?

he just needs a sec to give link time to get up - then they could make a break for it. so here goes nothing. ]

Hey! Blinky! Pinky! Or - whoever you are! Why don't you pick on someone whoooo's not even remotely your own size! [ he waves his arms above his head, drawing the ghosts attention towards him. well, at least they're not very bright. ]

[72hr]

[Link has managed to get up on his hands and knees, but now this position just... kinda makes him want to barf. Link, you've gone spelunking in moldy graves and had your head chewed on by zombies, but this is the thing that's gonna make you lose your lunch, huh.

Pull it together! Find your sword, and stop that thing from doing... whatever it is they do when they catch you... to that kid!]

R-Run! [Squinting, he looks around and finally sees his sword. It's nearby, but out of immediate reach. Damn it.]

Run now, and I'll catch up and kill it!

[lurching forward, he stretches for his sword and manages to curl his fingers around it. slowly, he pushes himself up, using the wall to help himself up.

even if he can get that thing off the other kid, he'll be happy. Link's the one with a sword, not him - it isn't fair.]

[cryptologic]

[ oookay, yeah, running now. he doesn't have to be told twice. as soon as the ghost turns his attention on him and starts to float ominously towards him, dipper breaks out into a run. sure, maybe he was successful in drawing the ghost's attention away from the other boy, but he didn't so much think through the part that would come after.

so he just hopes link is right and he'll be able to kill it. otherwise, dipper is in for a long run down a straight hallways with no forks in sight. ]
