☄ Video 004

[Remember that crazy coffee shop commercial that aired awhile back?

Well this isn't anything like that but it's definitely commercial-esque.

The video snaps on with Mabel seated at a desk--who's desk you ask? Who knows--wearing a very pleased looking grin as she keeps her hands folded in front of her very professional like. She's wearing an orange sweater with yellow and white stripped sleeves (like candy corn) that has a very happy looking bat on the front of it. She's also wearing a pair of very thick horn rimmed glasses that..are definitely not hers. They probably belong to whoever owns the desk actually.

In front of her and set off to the left just the slightest is a handmade and very glittery sign in orange and black that reads "Halloween Expert".

Oh boy.]

Hello ladies and gentleman! My name's Mabel Pines and I wanted to let you all know about an important service that I'm here to offer to you!

[She reaches up now to tilt the glasses down so she can peer over then, grin widening.]

Halloween Costume Expert!

[The glasses are pushed back up and Mabel stands up on the chair, her head out of view of the 'gear briefly before it's readjusted so she can be seen again, a Gastly appearing over her shoulder all spooky like as she throws her arms up.]

That's right! I'm here to help you put together the most amazing costume ever! Need ideas? I can help! Need help making it? Don't look anywhere else!

[Mabel's eyes go wide and she puts a hand to her cheek.]

But Mabel, what does this kind of thing cost? --I bet that's what your asking yourself! [She's grinning again and yep. Yep she's definitely related to Stan Pines.] All you have to do is provide materials and snacks and I'll take care of the rest! So don't hesitate to give me a call and I'll be your totally awesome Halloween Professional this year!

[She throws her arms up as the Gastly behind her let's out a happy, shrill cry, tongue hanging out--

just as the sound of a door opening can be heard.]

Hey--what are you doing in here?

[Both Mabel and Wisp's eyes go wide, the pair momentarily frozen before Mabel is launching herself across the desk to grab her 'gear.]

We've been spotted! GO GO GO!

[End feed.]

Audio. A certain snek is still cuddling him.

[distantfuture]

[Okay but the important question here is...]

What's Halloween?

Audio

[maybeitsmabelline]

What's--

Your world doesn't have Halloween?! That should be illegal!! It's a day when you get to dress up in costumes and go to people's houses and get free candy! It's the BEST holiday EVER!!!

[distantfuture]

Um, but why?

[schachmeister]

[Mabel, no.]

Mabel, did you... break into somewhere?

Video;

[maybeitsmabelline]

[She is totally not running right now. Nope. Not this girl!]

It's not breaking in if the door was wide open!

Video;

[schachmeister]

I don't think the law works like that, Mabel. Not exactly.

[ Ah, Poster Child! Also known as Mable Pines, but regardless, Poster Child. Annie doesn't really want to be personally bothered worrying about Halloween, so figures it might be worth taking up the breaking and entering prodigy on her offer. If she's not caught and... actually, she needs to talk with people to figure out what criminal punishments actually were around here. ]

Once you're no longer on the run from breaking and entering, what kind of materials and snacks are we talking about here?

[Text]

[maybeitsmabelline]

[The reply will come about twenty minutes later, once Mabel has found herself a safe place to hide with her Pokemon.]

Materials for whatever costumes you want to make or decorations! And whatever snacks you like best! Or you can bring ingredients and we can make snacks together! Like cupcakes or rice krispie treats!

[lyingheart]

[ ... that sounds like effort. Maybe she can pull a sick joke and just wear what she woke up here in. There's straps and a jacket and it looks about as more or less decorative as anything else. ]

This makes an assumption about knowing or wanting to make something. Unless it can be on the level of a simple disguise. I could always pick up glasses.

[ #spylyfe ]

I don't know what either of those are. Cupcakes I assume are smaller cakes?

[notvaljean]

[Jean just cracks up at the sight.]

Go, Mabel! Run! Escape those Jennies!

video;

[maybeitsmabelline]

They won't take me to jail again! I WON'T GO!

[There's a giggle in her words as she very clearly runs down the street, her 'gear jerking about as she carries it in one hand while she goes.]

FIGHT THE POWER!!

video;

[notvaljean]

FIGHT IT!

[Jean has zero regrets about encouraging juvenile delinquency.]

When you're not on the run anymore, can you help me with a Halloween costume?

[video]

[disarmingstrikes]

Okay, first? Great sales pitch, a-plus, excellent use of breaking and entering.

[Gotta encourage the young rogues.]

Second- what's a halloween.

[video]

[maybeitsmabelline]

Thank you!! Wisp helped me put it all together!

[Darting around the corner of a building, Mabel is a bit out of breath as she responds but still all smiles.

At least until he asks about Halloween.]

How do you guys survive without Halloween?! It's like, the best holiday ever!! You get to dress up in costumes and get free candy--FREE. CANDY!!!

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[THIS KID, EVERY TIME...]

Don't let them take you alive!

[Halloween costumes, breaking and entering...there's nothing here that Envy doesn't think is fantastic.]

[video]

[maybeitsmabelline]

I refuse to go back to jail! I REFUSE!

[She did her time for the Skitty escapade but NEVER AGAIN!!]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

That's the spirit!

Climb a tree! They never look up!

[tookashirototheknee]

First, Mabel, if you need to make a broadcast, tell me, I'll let you use one of the Observatory rooms.

Second... what would you suggest for a couple costume when one person's built like a Dorito, and the other's... not.

[maybeitsmabelline]

[Mabel is just a bit out of breath when she finally responds but she's smiling as Wisp bobs about behind her, Little Dipper tucked under Mabel's arm.]

Okay!

Hm...one Dorito and one tiny corn chip....Beauty and the Beast!!!

[tookashirototheknee]

In that case, I'm definitely the Beast.

[Matt's never thought much about his own attractiveness.]

Shiro in a dress would be hilarious, though. Hm.

Any other ideas? We are rather huge nerds.

Video

[starry_forehead]

[Mabel why?]

You know you could have just filmed that in a place you didn't have to break into, right?

Also are we now wanted by the police again and should I start packing?

[Because when you run from the police, you run from the police together.]

Video

[maybeitsmabelline]

[Do you really have to ask, Dipper?]

I didn't break in! The door was open and it was a totally perfect space for my video!

Pfft--no! We're completely fine, bro bro!

[For now.]

Video

[starry_forehead]

Yeah and I'm sure the police will go with that loophole. ....actually they might if the door was actually unlocked, technically it's not breaking into anything...

[Grunkle Stan you had them for one summer, one summer. Also, trespassing is still a thing, Dipper.]

So um....costumes.

[Since this was a thing last hal-summerween. But hey, the world almost ended at home and Dipper has no cool kids or crushes here to try to impress here. So...]

I guess if they have it, we could still go out trick or treating? If you want to?

[lordofthefries]

I can bring snacks!

[Because Sasha really wants in on his Halloween candy business, but she doesn't have the first clue about what costumes entail. Help Mabel-Wan, you're her only hope!]

And don't let them catch you. Down with The Man!

[Sasha, where in the hell did you learn that phrase?]

» video

[maybeitsmabelline]

Okay! Oh oh oh we have to spend Halloween together, Sasha! Please please please!

[This has to be a thing! She needs it, Sasha!]

They'll never catch me--I'M TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR JAIL!
