+ Chalk it to me! - Mingle Log +

[vitaelamorte]

Who: EVERYONE!
Where: Anywhere outside on Real Side, but mostly in the gardens!
When: 3/14-3/20
Rating: PG, warn if going higher than PG-13
Summary: Alice has invited everyone, Reals and Mirrors alike, to come color outside in the nice spring weather with magic chalk. Surely nothing could go wrong with that plan, right?
The Story:

Outside, the weather is absolutely beautiful. It's not too hot, but not too cold either, and no one would have ever realized there was snow on the ground yesterday if they hadn't been here to see it. The grass is green and everything is dry - no sign of melted snow anywhere at all. Flowers have begun to bloom and it truly looks as though it's been spring for some time already. The season has changed abruptly and now Wonderland's decided it's time for it to be nice out.

There are many paths through the gardens, the vendors, and the hedge maze that can be drawn on, but as Alice demonstrated in her post, there's no need at all to stick to pavement only. Even the air can be decorated with living drawings!

This is a log for people who want to come color outside or people who want to check out what others are doing out here. It isn't strictly to interact with Alice, but she'll be around and will have a top level.

[Dipper considers, then shrugs.]

Sure, why not. Lie down. You gonna do a pose or anything like that?

[adaptiveimmunities]

...Obviously.

[And he arranges himself like a crime scene victim before giving Dipper the thumps up to trace him.

He leaves his thumb up.]

[krmvgivv]

[Yeah, nothing about this is surprising. Shaun's like a grown-up, even more reckless Mabel.]

Oookay...

[He starts at the thumb up and traces Shaun's body carefully. As soon as he gets to the start of the line, he sits back.]

I have a spray bottle if this ends up getting weird.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Shaun moves aside to inspect Dipper's work, and then to watch his outline get up and walk away, thumb raised into the air.]

...So far not too weird. Aside from the obvious.

[Magic chalk is weird by definition, and it's not like seeing chalk outlines wander around on their own is something that happens every day.]

So where do you want me?

[krmvgivv]

Hm.

[Dipper taps his chin for a moment, then uses his chalk to point at a bench.] Sit down. I'm gonna try and draw, like, a 3D model of your legs.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Shaun give shim a little salute and takes the indicated seat.]

Okay... Can you do that with chalk? Even magic chalk?

[krmvgivv]

Sure.

[He has no idea, but only way to find out is to try, right?

He frowns, thinking for a moment, then starts tracing Shaun's left leg. Lines in the air down each side, then circles around. He takes special care at the knee joint. That's a part that's all too easy to mess up.]

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Shaun is just watching this curiously. This is definitely a better idea than drawing uneven stilt legs at the ends of his own noodly limbs.]

Too bad there's not "drink me/eat me" getting shorter and taller solution these days, huh?

[Pause]

Although--considering--this is probably way less risky.

[krmvgivv]

Yeah, I've played with shrinking and growing technology before. Never ends as well as you want it to.

[Though, he does have that vendor token. He could get the size changing flashlight from home. Hmmm.

For the moment, he just shoos Shaun away so he can take his place. He slides his legs in and the chalk solidifies around him. Then he starts to awkwardly push himself up off the ground.]
