[It seems like a simple enough solution, doesn't it? You see a fire, you put it out. If everything around you is a mess, you start with the mess at your feet. Slowly, the fire begins to recede away from him in circle. One foot...then two...enough to reveal burnt grass under his feet....
But the progress doesn't last. Stan, or something that used to be him, HOWLS in pain - a very human scream layered over with a pitch only an animal could possibly hit. He screams as if the lack of pain hurts even more somehow - as if all of this burning is the only thing left of what was Stanley Pines.
In desperation, the rest of the fire lurches and moves, trying to regain the ground it lost at any cost. It pays little attention to Dipper himself, though some of his clothes may start to catch if he isn't careful. The flames move awkwardly at first, but then they weave together into a shape that's almost...a hand? No. A paw.
It slams down into the circle Dipper's made and pulls back with such force it makes the ground start to spark. It leaves behind a deep gash.
But more important, it doesn't show any sign of stopping. It's going to scratch and scratch and scratch until it hurts the way it's supposed to, the way it understands that it should hurt.]
