Wirt?

[It's a good thing Dipper's smart. People are turning into animals and this one has Wirt's coloring and also Wirt seems dumb enough to get stuck as a reptile in the cold. Really, it's the only thing that makes sense.

He tries to pry Wirt off the tree. This is the part where if it's not Wirt, it'll probably try to flee, but honestly he's not even sure if it's capable. It looks like it's in pretty bad shape.]

[Wow, what a vote of confidence there.

Wirt tenses instinctively (as anyone would when something much bigger than them tries to grab them), but he allows Dipper to pick him up. He's very cold to the touch, way too cold for a reptile. He awkwardly reaches out like he's thinking about trying to climb up one of Dipper's arms, but in the end he decides not to and just settles where he is.

Dipper's hands are really warm, comparatively speaking.]

[krmvgivv]

[Ok, Dipper now has a reptile in his hands. He looks around as he tries to figure out what to do next. The branch isn't very high, but it's high enough that he doesn't really want to jump, and climbing down without hands would not work out. Even if he only holds Wirt in one hand, it'll probably be a good way to injure himself and maybe squish Wirt.

Which really only leaves one option.]

...sorry about this. I'm gonna get you inside.

[He carefully puts Wirt into his pocket. At least it's the one with the half-chewed pens instead of the one with the giant heavy books. Then he climbs down and starts back towards the mansion.]

[singloversing]

[Wirt, being a chameleon, is not especially talkative. Even if he was though, he honestly wouldn't complain about this. Dipper's pocket is a very warm place to hide, and right now that's his biggest priority.

The pens are a little more annoying, but Wirt burrows right under them and curls up deep in that pocket. He's okay with this very warm form of transportation. Plus, he doesn't have to actually watch Dipper jump down from the tree this way and that's a load off his mind.]

[krmvgivv]

[He only gets so long to snuggle with Dipper's pens because as soon as Dipper's inside, he races to his room, snags a space heater from the closet, and pulls Wirt out. But you know, at least that's still warm.]

Please be okay....

[singloversing]

[His colors already look much brighter than they did a few minutes ago, and that heater feels so nice. Wirt squirms a little in Dipper's hands until he puts him down, and once he does he finally shifts back into his human form. Being warm-blooded again helps immensely, but he still pulls his cape tightly around him like a blanket.]

O-Oh my god, thank you! I thought I was going to freeze out there!

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper waits until he's satisfied that Wirt is not dying as a lizard, then punches him in the arm.]

What is with you and freezing, dude? Could you stop?

[singloversing]

[He's kind of surprised at the punch, but after a moment of hesitation he shoves Dipper's arm in return.]

It's not like I did it on purpose! I just...

[He pouts, puffing up his cheek like a little kid.]

I tripped and thought someone saw me and...I didn't want that, and all of a sudden I was a chameleon?

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper stares for a moment, then shakes his head, exhaling a laugh.]

Seriously, man? [He thinks Wirt might be a tidge insecure.] I'm glad you're okay. Maybe... don't go outside until this event is over.

[singloversing]

[Wirt looks a little embarrassed at first, but eventually he eases, since this is just Dipper.]

Yeah...yeah, I'm definitely not planning on it. At this point it would just be kind of dumb.

[krmvgivv]

Good. [He grins.] And maybe work on not wanting to hide whenever you do something dumb? I mean, long term. Probably a good idea.
