WHERE IS MY OTHER PEEPAW HELP (for DC)

[ghostharasser]

[Well that sucked.]

[Dipper thinks maybe he might have a panic attack if he doesn't do something super productive right this second, so he goes in search of Dark Cacao. He really needs some answers about what just happened. What happened to PV? Who the FUCK did he just talk to.]

[Where are you Other Peepaw.]

Dark Cacao? Dark Cacao!

[winterfrosting]

[Dipper has been in their home enough to know about Cacao's den in the basement. A private little space for the often antisocial king to recharge himself. He's been using it... a lot, these past days

He looks up from his desk when Dipper calls him, purple eyes cloudy with exhausting and down and arm... maybe that's why the paper in front of him doesn't have any writing on it yet?]

Dipper?

[ghostharasser]

[After Dipper works himself in knots and paces two full circles around the house, he remembers the den. He comes down in a little less of a tizzy than initially and peers in.]

Hey- um.

[This fight with the fallen sun really had some unspeakable collateral, huh? Missing limbs stopped being horrifying to him a long time ago, but that didn't mean he couldn't still grieve for someone else's pain. He's kicking himself a little for being so preoccupied with going nuclear on Fern.]

...What the heck is going on with Pure Vanilla?

[That seems like a fair place to start. Truthless told him his spiel but he'd like to hear it from the person who brought him back from the garden.]

[winterfrosting]

Ah, you met him.

[Cacao's voice is low and sad and lacking his usual steady confidence]

It is... hard to explain.

[ghostharasser]

[DC's state is not even remotely a surprise. Dipper will gently close the door behind him.]

Yeah ...I got the feeling it was pretty complicated, on account of the crazy cryptic answers he gave me about whatever happened.

[He frowns, trying to balance wanting to ask for details with feeling bad about bothering DC right now. After a moment his need to understand wins out.]

...he's acting possessed. Like, not metaphorically because he's so different, I mean honest-to-god there might be something in him driving his body against his will, possessed.
