thelegion | Lost and Found

[Wash is in a lounge, having propped his omnicom on a piece of furniture so that the video shows him and the gun resting on his lap. That is definitely not his gun. Those quick on the uptake might also notice blood on his arm, like he's just been in a fight or something.]

Public service announcement: there's someone on the habitat deck in a skull mask running around and pointing guns at people's heads. He's kind of a dick, and evidently he can turn into a black cloud at will, like some kind of crossover between Ghostface and Imhotep.

[Has anyone seen either of those movies? No? Okay, moving on. He tilts the gun so it's more easily visible on camera, and yep, that is definitely one of Reaper's guns, and it is definitely not with Reaper.]

I didn't really appreciate him pointing this one at me, so I...called dibs on it. He can't have it back.

[It doesn't matter if you can't read expressions through armor; the self-satisfied smirk in Wash's tone is practically visible all on its own.]

He might still be up there, lying on the floor near the Egyptian temple. Unconscious. I may have stunned the hell out of him.

[Look at all zero of the regrets he has. Look at them.]

Also, I've decided our next movie night is going to be Scream, because when I call this guy a half-assed Ghostface ripoff, I really want you all to know what I'm talking about.

I was going to say something about fighting over a seashell to decide who gets to be Legion Leader when all the older people are gone, but then I realized that if this is a horror movie, I won't get to be one of the good guys.

[Dipper is digging through his closest as he holds his omnicom.]

I need to find a good outfit for when Mabel and I turn into the creepy ghost twins that you guys see at the end of every hallway.

I'll take creepy ghost twins over being trapped in the Cube.

You lost me on that reference but I'm guessing it's like the movie Tetrahedron?

Uh. Maybe? People trapped in a giant cube full of rooms, some of them are deathtraps, one dude gets diced into pieces by a grid of razor wire...

Yeah! That sounds like Tetrahedron. Except it was a laser grid.

Huh. I wonder if it was another shape in this universe.

I don't recognize, like, any of the shows and movies in this universe. Even the really old ones that are supposed to be from the same time Mabel and I are from.

I can understand shows like Tiger Fist and Ducktective not lasting the test of time -- they were always pretty topical -- but they don't even have classics like the Ghost Harassers movie.

Just something called "Ghostbusters," what is that even?

Wait. Wait. You haven't seen Ghostbusters?

Nah, man, that came out in, what, 1984, I think?

[When he found it in a "historical" movie archive, he checked the original date it was released to compare to his own world. He still hasn't watched it yet because it seems too similar to Ghost Harassers.]

That didn't come out in my world. In 1984, there was a big ghost movie but it was The Hauntening of Helldarkgrim House.

[It's not his age that's the problem either. Paranormal and horror movies are kind of his jam, enough that he's seen the classics from before he was born.]

A lot of the movies here that are from near my time are similar but don't match. Like instead of Inspector Whatsit, there's something called Doctor Who; instead of Space Traipsers, it's Star Trek; instead of Galaxy Conflict, it's something called Star Wars, whatever that is? It's like they're all bargain bin ripoffs of the TV and movies in my world.

They don't even have The Craggy Fearsome Photo Parade, and that's, like, a classic.

[Dipper shrugs.]

I think my sister and I's universe is maybe just a step farther away from other people's realities or whatever.

That's crazy!

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

How's your sister taking the being a superhero thing, Dipper?

[ Grif hasn't met her, but the fact Dipper's sister is here has drifted around a bit. ]

[Dipper shouts over his shoulder.]

Hey Mabel, someone you don't know wants to know how you feel about being a superhero now!

[ Almost immediately comes the sound of Mabel charging in. She shoves Dipper over so the two of them, and waddles, can be visible. ]

LIKE THIS.

[ She produces a few pieces of paper she "borrowed" from Dipper which are stuck together and covered in... who knows what. It looks like something might have been spilled on it. But, there's a drawing of herself in the center. She's in her hamster ball laughing maniacally while her fake entourage cheers her on. ]

Just pretend the maple syrup is glue, and the crunched up pieces of candy are glitter! I don't have any real art supplies yet.

[ Oh my god that is adorable. ]

...Is that some kind of super hamster ball?

[ Grif is very often an ass, but there's a line at being-a-dick-to-children that he can't quite cross. He's less forceful about it than he would be with an adult, he's teasing but he's not looking for a fight the way he usually does. ]

It's like unbreakable! [Dipper throws his arms up in the air as he says it, almost hitting Mabel in the face.] I threw stuff at it!

[He thinks it's actually a pretty great power and also that it's pretty cool she has a shield-ey power like his teke. They match while both still having their own particular version of shield-ey powers.]

Also when it hits stuff, it all sort of violently bounces off so she can run people down in a giant roll-ey rampage.

Yeah! Wanna see it?!

[ Before Dipper can say anything about what is and isn't a hamster ball zone, the three of them are encased in the bubble of pink energy. The only thing is that Waddles isn't totally a fan of it. When he tries to wiggle free of Mabel's grasp, her attempts to hang on throw the weight distribution off and they start rolling sideways. ]

Whoa Waddles! If you want to be The Red Bacon you have to face your fears!!

Throwing things at stuff is definitely how you figure out if it's unbreakable or not.

[ He's not actually kidding, it sounds like a good plan. Then he remembers the other question he had: ]

Is that a pig?

Nah, he's a hairless Peruvian giant guinea pig.

[Dipper rolls his eyes slightly as he he rolls sideways in the bubble.]

Dipper, how could you? Look, you're hurting his feelings!

[ Not really, it's more the rolling that's bothering him. ]

Don't listen to my brother. Waddles is the greatest pig that ever lived! He's going to be a super hero too!
