[YEP, TIME TO GET OUT OF HERE. Though Dipper deeply hopes the pure spiteful smugness radiating off Dipper as he realizes how mad Shadow Milk suddenly is leaves an impression.]

[That's only short-lived, however as the shield suddenly appears to keep the rain of paind, death, and spears from immediately skewering him right then and there. Who...]

[Oh.]

[Oh.]

Wait-!

[No, not when he's so close, not when he's almost within reach! If he can just grab hold of him, then maybe he can drag him back out with him!]

Pure Vanilla!

[But he drops, like a cartoon trap door and even with his hand outstretched, he's not able to reach him. Once again, Dipper misses by an inch trying to save someone he cares about, and he falls into darkness. The echo of Pure Vanilla's words ringing in his ears louder than any of Bill or Shadow Milk's taunting ever could.]

[When Dipper wakes up, he is met with screaming pain, a profound inescapable dread and sorrow, but also, strangely enough, hope.]

[Unfortunately this means on the outside, Dipper has come out of his sleep with a violent pulse of his powers, a deep cut wound slices down his face, and the aggressive signs of accelerated corruption. Feathers sprout from his skin and the scars framing his right eye tear open to reveal burning red eyes. Dipper screams.]

( she'd been lingering, but- it's hard. somehow she feels responsible, so she needs to see it through. she needs to see it all through.

and then dipper is screaming and bleeding and sprouting-

it says something, perhaps, that despite the spike of fear and guilt in her chest, lily stays calm, just crouching beside him, healing light at her fingertips. )

You're safe now.
