Guys, just ignore them. The more you respond to the anons and get angry at them, the more they're getting what they want. Just don't give them any attention and go about your usual stuff.

You matter to them more than their opinions should matter to you.

I dunno, winding them up is kind of fun.

[unrecovered]

That's the secret to fandom: give them little things to go nuts about and they'll never ask the bigger questions.

[Lies of omission. They're great.]

[goddamngrenades]

I'm gonna have to give them a lot of little things then, huh?

Audio

[kingtyrantranger]

S'long as we're not the ones getting wound up, you know?

Audio

[goddamngrenades]

Speak for yourself, I don't mind getting wound now and then.

[prettycoolguy]

Is something happening that I should be aware of?

Audio

[goddamngrenades]

[ Oh shit. ] Nope. Nothing at all, Chief, at ease, go about your business.

[prettycoolguy]

...Really now.

[ It's not a question, it's a statement. The Chief may not be their CO, but he has the voice and the no-bullshit suspicion. ]

Some people who'll never have to fight a thing in their lives are getting upset over the released Murderworld footage, and some people aren't reacting well to them. It's started blowing over, but I'm keeping an eye on it.

Aside from that, it's the usual romantic entanglement bullshit.

[prettycoolguy]

Thank you.

What's his problem?

[littlecousin]

Some of them are nice.

Talk to the cute ones, ignore the jerks.

[Good advice in general.]

Re: audio

[kingtyrantranger]

But if people only talked to the cute ones my friends would be the ones getting all the attention.

[deafleppard]

I don't mind them so much. It's nice to have fans.

Except for the one that wants to suck on my toes.

Uuuuuuuugh.

[kingtyrantranger]

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life

Still. Not exactly the most hygienic way to show affection.

[deafleppard]

It's so creepy.

[the_civilian]

I am trying SO HARD not to look right now, someone please either save me from my own morbid curiosity or bring me the girliest alcoholic drink the future has.

[the_civilian]

...I suppose I should specify that when I say "girliest drink", I mean I once asked a friend to make me a girly drink and she poured straight whiskey and stared me down until I drank it.

[kingtyrantranger]

I bet Tenzil has a whole book for you to try.

[bachido]

I think they should have their own opinions. They have that right.

I don't want them to see parts of my story, though.

Screened to Kubo

You need to stop talking to them.

[Dipper still feels miserable and he has no idea what to do or say in response to what happened. But one thing's for sure, he can't risk doing video like usual in case he gets upset, so he keeps it to audio.]

[After the sound clicks on, he's quiet at first.]

So, I said some dumb stuff about the old Legionnaires and I'm sorry.

Also, I borrowed a new omnicom from Brainiac 5, but I still need my old one because of all the pictures and videos I recorded on it, so Dave, if you could put that in the 34th level common area that'd be great.

Okay, that's all. Um. Bye.

[text]

[turntex]

yeah sure

[He is totally gonna just. Wait there with it. Because talking seems like a thing that should probably happen.]

[unrecovered]

[Yeah, someone's been following the anon meme, despite the fact that he's going to have some mental images he'll never be able to scrub from his brain. Someone saw Dipper's explosion. Someone's waiting in the common area of the 34th floor.]

[Surprise, it's Wash.]

[When he speaks, his tone is gentle. Yeah, Dipper fucked up big time, but approaching it like that is only going to hurt Dipper worse. Plus, Wash knows a thing or two about tearing yourself up for your mistakes, and he's pretty sure Dipper has the guilt thing covered already. Compassion it is.]

Rough day, huh.

[audio]

[walkingballpit]

Brainy's nice like that.

[ A brief pause. ]

You don't get to hide from people with dropboxes and secret agent stuff. I shouldn't have yelled at you in public. I know better.

[fuckaccuracy]

Hey now, who am I to ignore all my adoring fans?

[Gaige you just got here and nobody probably even knows you.]
