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.



Winter Mourning Options

Canon Flavored:
- Dipper fist-fighting a giant robot and winning.
- Bill Cipher, possessing Dipper's body, getting the shit kicked out of him by Mabel while on a stage full of sock puppets.
- Defeating the Shapeshifter in the bunker. (complete with horrible AND THIS IS THE LAST FACE YOU'LL EVER MAKE taunt from said Shapeshifter)
- Catching the Lumberjack Ghost
- Getting chased by a two-story-high nightmare version of Bill Cipher through the Fearamid.

Deerington Flavored:
- October, and old but fun classic.
- Fighting some bullies with Syaoran.
- The Contract with Bill
- Standing up to Bill and then dying in the portal event
- Mercy Killing Cynthia

ooc: These are suggestions! If you have another idea in mind, just let me know!

It was a loaded question and it's not until he answers it that she realizes it. There wasn't much way around it and she does find the tension in her gut lift when he answers it. She was aware that what had happened had taken a toll on all of them. And while she she had taken the burden of actually putting a stop to it, she didn't think she was carrying the heaviest load here.

"I'm glad." She manages a faint but honest smile. "At least you're back to the right number of eyes." Okay now it's her turn to try and break the tension.

She thinks briefly on his question then nods and takes a few steps into the room before taking a seat down beside him.

"Yeah. And- Well I wouldn't worry about apologizing. I'm just... I'm just glad I got there before something happened that couldn't be taken back." She couldn't imagine how Dipper would have felt if he had hurt Oscar or Mabel any worse.

Her own lips raise slightly to match his smile but it fades about as quick. It seemed like they both felt the same about how things turned out.

"Yeah, Well... We all make bad decisions. I did with the whole Bill thing, remember?" It hadn't ended up quite horrible as this had but it had all the potential for it.

Still she does manage a more honest smile when he thanks her. That is what she had really been afraid of. She reaches over and let's a hand rest on his shoulder.

"You're welcome? It feels weird to say it like that. I wish there had of been another way to stop you. But I'm glad you didn't end up hurting either of them." They had been hurt but anything worse.
