IC Perspective: Dipper Pines (second year)

Character: Dipper Pines
Mun: Takato
Plot related: not really (backdated to the event)


Soooooo I guess it goes without saying that there's weird things happening around the school again. Well, I mean it is a magic school so I guess I'm stating the obvious here.

This is like last year.

Um...if anyone sees multiple mes around, could you direct them to the library? I'm looking up spells that could've caused this and the more hands the better it'll be.

I think.

[He looks apologetic and sheepish when his friend reappeared, standing up and leaning over the table and books to see him.]

Yeah...wow. You, uh, weren't kidding.

[brokethecycle]

[Hahaha, he feels a little on the spot and it makes him fidget. He shakes his head]

No. Um- but there has to be a way to fix it, right? I brought help.

[Nods over to the Dipper clones.]

[mysterytwin]

Oh right.

[Dipper clears his throat, gaining the attention of the five clones Norman found him.]

Alright, numbers 5, 9 and 12, I want you to look through this pile of books to my left. See if you can find anything remotely related to this. 13 and 6, go look at the bookshelves for more books on spell and transfiguration. Don't wander off this time.

[A small grumble was the only resistance he got as the five clones wandered to their tasks.]

[brokethecycle]

[Norman watched Dipper bark orders to his doppelgangers and he nodded, impressed. ]

So, any luck?

[mysterytwin]

[He gives a small sigh, tugging his cap off to run husband fingers through his hair, putting it back on after.]

No. All I've found is the spell for cloning that I used last year. No luck on ghosts yet.

[brokethecycle]

[Frowns a little.]

How did you fix the clone problem the first time?

[mysterytwin]

[Dipper places his hat back on his head before he looked back at the book, turning the page.]

They were kinda paper thin-ish last time. All I had to do was throw some butterbeer at them and they melted.

[brokethecycle]

[Casts a wary glance over to one of the clones. He leans in and speaks in a hushed whisper.]

Have you tried...?

[mysterytwin]

[He nods, looking up at Norman again and returning the whisper.]

That was one of the first things I tried.

[brokethecycle]

Drat.

[Norman reaches for a book and realizes belatedly that he can't pick them up. He makes a noise of frustration and just floats up, crossing his arms.]

I know that I talk to the dead a lot but this is really not funny.

[mysterytwin]

[Dipper kind of gives him a small, wry smile before returning his attention to the book.]

I had no idea the castle ghosts were that talkative.

[brokethecycle]

[Norman blinks, before looking sheepish and shrugging.]

You would be surprised by what they have to say, if you ask.

[mysterytwin]

Well I...to be truthful I found them kind of creepy last year so I just...stayed out of their way.

[He shrugs a little himself, biting his bottom lip. For a Muggleborn with no previous experience with wizarding world stuff, the ghosts had been one of his least favourite things about the castle.]

[brokethecycle]

[Ah, right. He forgets that by even wizard standards, the talking to the dead thing is still weird.]

I guess your hometown didn't have a lot of ghosts, then. They like to talk, but most people ignore them.

[mysterytwin]

The funny thing about that is Killarney has a ghost tour and everything. [He tilted his head.] I guess I never really paid any attention to that sort of thing.

[brokethecycle]

I talked to them a lot. Most of the living people in my town stayed away from me.

[Well, the nicer ones did. The meaner ones used to beat him up but he wasn't about to tell Dipper that.]

[mysterytwin]

Huh. [He purses his lips together. He didn't really have many friends back home either aside from Mabel. Dipper gives a small shrug.] I guess that's not so weird all things considered.
