When the words weigh heavy on the heart
Who: Dipper and CR
What: Dipper is back from the dead! Everything sucks
When: mid-to-late December
Where: Mostly around the Pines House.
Content Warnings: post-death trauma, possession, PTSD, mentions of child death
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!

The wounds on her shoulders are not completely healed, but they're doing well enough that she no longer registers pain as she goes about her business most of the time. She can lift her arms and pick things up and so on. Probably she can't outright hoist Dipper up and haul him up the stairs, though, so.
"Hang tight, brobro."
To that end, she rolls up her sleeves, latches on to the couch cushion her twin is currently seething into, and starts dragging it across the floor with Dipper still on top of it. This will be much more efficient than letting him fall on every single cushion one by one. They will figure out the stairs momentarily.

In all seriousness, though, this is a little worrying. Dipper figured he'd have a hard time reforming from what was a pretty nasty death. They had all had a time reforming from squids the first time the came to shore. Some people couldn't speak, some people couldn't remember things, there were varied side effects.
So this is probably normal, right? He doesn't really know. There's very little they do know about dying, since he's still one of the first to do it.
Maybe he won't be fully healed for ages, maybe not at all.

Mabel manages the journey to the staircase in three spurts, pausing twice to shake her arms out and readjust her grip. But now, she has to get him up the stairs, and she knows bending over to continue dragging the pillow is not going to go well for her. So, she scuttles around to the back end of the pillow and tries shoving it up instead, only for the front corner of the pillow to squash against the second stair up and send her brother's head straight into the third.
"Shoot," she grumbles. "This would work better if we had a sled, with wax on the bottom. Or a surfboard."
There are reasons their parents decided perhaps they might spend a summer somewhere else.

"Mabel!" That actually hurt, but it also startled the shit out of him, so he curls up like a pillbug on the cushion where it is propped up on the first two stairs and tries very hard not to let such a minor, upsetting but frustrating thing make him cry like it is actually threatening to. This is so dumb everything is dumb. He kind of wants to go back into the tank.
no subject
"I'm sorry, Dipper." And she does genuinely sound it, at least. "I can try picking you up. I guess I'm way stronger now, somehow? I don't know if I could get you upstairs, though."
Mabel wisely does not say that if she isn't it will be because it hurts her shoulders. She's offering at all because somehow it seems like a better option than the grunkles if Dipper is feeling overwhelmed, and she's pretty sure her art student skills will let her hide any pain Dipper causes. She's admitted he did hurt her, but if he can't even remember the fight clearly, she's not about to let him find out just yet -- if at all -- that it's taking her this long to fully heal, even as a Sleeper.
no subject
When Mabel apologizes he picks his head up. His eyes are a little red, but he has a handle on it. Instead, he's trying to sort out the logistics of their situation. He has to admit that he's just. Not able to walk yet. He needs to figure out how to get upstairs before one of the uncles finds them because he simply just does not thing he can deal with having to confront them in the wake of this entire mess. Not yet.
He takes another breath, and sounds much calmer this time.
"What if you take one side ...and I hold onto the banister of the stairs. That way I'm not putting all my weight on you."
And he'll feel a little less helpless, too, if he's putting effort into it too.
