Revival [CLOSED TO PINES FAMILY]

Death this time around, is so starkly different, that any of it hardly feels real. In fact, it's just one long disjointed nightmare until consciousness is finally able to grab him from the void.

He remembers very little for a long time, just bits and pieces here and there. He remembers the words he spoke before it all went black and the subsequent glimpses afterwards. His sister screaming at him, mingled in with flashes of Oscar's face, followed by bursts of searing pain and red. He thinks he can pinpoint the moment it all ends; when the sound, the images, all of it just goes dead silent, and he's basked in nothing but inky darkness, letting the nightmare fade away into nothing. It feels floaty, like he's bobbing about in an endless ocean.

Awareness jolts through him a moment later. The ocean is no longer endless, it's actually very small and cramped. He's got to get out, and that is how he finds himself writhing on the ground of the living-room, a mass of awkward teen boy and tentacles. It then that the weight of the entire past two months really hit him, with the sudden, suffocating feeling of clarity that comes with waking up from the dead.


Visitation: Winter Mourning [OPEN]

Dipper's first day alive was kind of a mess. Turns out, dying violently and then reviving out of a squid tank sort of scrambles your brain and motor-functions. He's doing much better by the second day, though he's opted to stay in bed for the most part. While he does have a great deal of his journals and notes out, it's probably pretty telling that he has just spent most of the time watching TV on his Omni.

He will not turn down company, of course. Especially since he knows he's given people a fright when everything spectacularly blew up in his face. Just mind the ...remarkable amount of Winter Mourning ornaments laying around the place. Mabel has been coping in the way she knows how, which is to say, their bedroom is covered in bones and glitter.

Stan is completely blindsided by that question, and the look he gives in return is just, completely baffled.

"What? Why would I be sorry about that?"

Sure he never expected to be living with Dipper and Mabel forever, raising them with Ford, and sure he didn't exactly have much of a choice in the matter, but that didn't mean he regretted it.

"Sure, going through that horrible flesh sinkhole might've been one of the worst things I've ever been through, but! I would've followed you kids anywhere. And I still would. You can't get rid of me that easy."
