Who: Dipper, Bill (the Lizard), and Mabel
Where: Dipper and Mabel's room, the Big Dipper Pines Pit Pat Hall
When: 12/26-28
Rating: PG at most probably
Summary: Dipper gets a sweater, summons a lizard, and gives a belated Hanukkah present.
The Story:

Bill:

[Dipper doesn't know what he expects. Last year, it was the time machine tape. The year before, a flying saucer key chain.

When he reaches in and feels a sweater, he initially thinks maybe it's the wrong stocking. But no, there's his name, not Mabel. He pulls it out, then drops it as soon as he sees what he's gotten.]


BILL!

Mabel:

[Dipper had figured out what he was getting Mabel for Hanukkah a while ago, but then everything had been gingerbread and headaches and trying to keep Mabel from eating everything in sight. But now finally, finally, he's filled out the contract, prepared payment (a box of caltropos building bricks, a plate of cookies, and a plate of insects cause he's not sure which one is appropriate here), and woken up to a lizard-shaped invitation reading Come see the attraction! Plus a pair of scissors.

Perfect.

He rips a page out of his notebook and crumples it up, then throws it across the room at Mabel's head.]


Hey, Mabel.

[ Bill hears the call, easily with the boy owning one of his construction forms at present. He yawns, was having a good winter sleep-in, but that's all right, that's fair, and- and lazily crawls down the wall near dipper. ]

What's that, lad, what's that fuss all about?
squeakyslate: ([ thank ye ])

[ Startled by the loud greeting Bill yelps in return, dropping the- himself, into an empty stocking. ]

S'cuse me! Me poor heart, poor ol' Bill didn't do nothin' to deserve such a frighten!

[ He scrambles to peek his head out from the stocking. ]

Not like I'd come runnin' for every ol' fella just yellin' Bill! Bill! Bill! into the night, no sir! Only I know, I know ye found one of me construction contracts, see? Figured it might be a question 'bout that, so I went and saw, see?
squeakyslate: ([ bill bill bill ])

'Course not. All different with loyal customers. Know what they want before they even tell me, see? [ He flicks his tail. ] Figure of speech, that is. Helps though, contracts like that, get things set up with new people all proper like.

[ All proper like, yes, Bill shifts and shuffles until he's good and comfortable on top of the wall again. ]

Wasn't lookin' for new work like that, if we're bein' honest, must've been I dropped that contract on the way, poor me, poor me. Wondered where it went, I did. But you found it, you keep it, and you use it if you like, won't give you no grief about it, ol' Bill's never been afraid of no hard work comin' his way.

[ Bill chuckles. ]

Wouldn't mind a good story, I would, but that's all that about that. Ol' Bill gots his own memories, plenty of 'em too, don't need no other ones on top. Tell you what, lad. Tell you what, we see, we see how it works out, first time you're usin' one of me contracts. Tell you what, if we're both proper happy with it, might just deliver you another form some day.

[Mabel looks up abruptly from her latest art project (a statue of the white rabbit to place as a memorial in the main hall- not because he's dead MIND YOU, but because he's missing), which she was very much absorbed in. It's like she's coming out of a muse-driven fugue state.]

Waugh! I mean... What? Huh? What's happening? ...What time is it?
powerofmabel: (☆ in a lesson that only one learned)

[personal profile] powerofmabel 2018-01-04 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Where are we going? [She hops up and immediately tries to peer over his shoulder at the invitation.] Oh em gee. Did we win something? Ahh! [She shakes his shoulder.]
powerofmabel: (☆ if nobody else believes)

[She tries to reach over his shoulder to get at the paper to NO AVAIL, finally accepting that this is a SURPRISE and those are awesome as she follows him.] A surprise Hanukkah present. Man, I must've been the best sister this year.
powerofmabel: (☆ and know i am more than just me)

[personal profile] powerofmabel 2018-01-10 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I gave you another year with your twin sister in Wonderland.

[Firm nod. As if it's in any way her doing that neither of them have left.

She doesn't know what she's expecting, but it isn't this. Not a ribbon and a pair of scissors like she's suddenly mayor of Mabelland again. But as a congresswoman, this is something that should be as natural to her as breathing, and she gleefully takes the scissors and snips the ribbon. The problem is she's so excited that the ribbon barely has time to fall before she's pushing in the door and staring at...

this...

Her eyes go wide and her hands fly to her face.]
Whaaaaat? Is this for real?
powerofmabel: (☆ but we'll walk on them willingly)

[personal profile] powerofmabel 2018-01-15 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? [She's already half distracted, wandering over to a row of pool cues that are almost as big as she is, as if hypnotized. She picks one up and taps the end of it, still trying to suppress more delighted shrieking.]

[Yeah Mabel instantly freezes as soon as she hears "Bill" and then relaxes when he adds "the Lizard," looking for all the world like the air left the room and then returned suddenly.] I knew that lizard was good people.
powerofmabel: (☆ it's better to fly)

Maybe that's the way to get all the natives on our side- just be nice and do stuff for them. [She selects one stick for herself and another for Dipper.] Look at everything that happened after all that stuff we found last year. Alice got her eyes and a pig, the Duchess got her head sewed back on...
powerofmabel: (☆ to go back to their lives)

[personal profile] powerofmabel 2018-01-23 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
See? That's the Mabel Way, and the Mabel way is always right. Boop. [She pokes him in the ribs with her stick.]
powerofmabel: (☆ forgive me but i loved you)

[personal profile] powerofmabel 2018-01-28 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That depends. Are you ready for me to be a champion at this too? [She stands up straight and proud with her poolstick.]
