Chapter 8

I came back into the living room, Mabel was staring at me.
"Where were you?", she asked.
"Ford treated my hand.", I said and pointed to my right hand.
She laughed. "Don't tell Dipper you went into his lab. He would be so jealous!"
"Yeah... where is he anyway?", I asked looking around.

"Oh he wanted to play D&D&MoreD so he went outside."
"Don't you need at least two players for that game?", I asked confused.
"Well yeah. But he'll be fine! Waiiiiit... do you know that game?", she asked, looking at me closely.
"Uhm yes?... I thought this game was kinda famous?"

She bursted out into laughing. "But that game is for nerds!"
I widened my eyes in disbelief. "Actually it's pretty fun..."
"Pfff... sure! But come on now, we'll prepare everything for tomorrow.", she said and grabbed my hand.
I sighed.

*timescipppp

"Okay. We've got everything we need to watch the season finale of Duck-tective tomorrow.", Mabel said holding up a box full of food with a ramp.
"I even made mouth-ramps so we can pour food into our mouths without taking our eyes off the screen.", she explained and poured some food into her mouth.
"Nom nom nom"

Stan was stapling a turkey head to a beaver's body. "And I recreated the main character out of some spare taxidermy parts. Quack quack. I'm the duck detective! Who stole my breadloaf?", he imitated the Ducktective.

"I really am not surprised.", I laughed silently to myself.

"Hahaha! That is so messed up! Dipper would LOVE that!", Mabel said.
"Heh. Yeah. Where is the little squirt anyway? I haven't seen him all afternoon.", Stan asked.
"Maybe he found someone to play D&D&MoreD.", I said with my back faced to both of them. I was preparing my bowl of food.
I turned around as both of them began to laugh.

"What?", I asked them seriously.
"Nothing. It's just... who would play that weird maths game except for Dipper?", Mabel asked still giggling.
"I would.", I mumbled.
They looked at me dumbfounded.
"What? I said it once and I will say it again: the game is really fun. You should really try it sometimes."

"Pff, no way I'm playing that. Sorry, kid.", Stan said and Mabel nodded.
I sighed. "Alright. I'll go for a little walk since we're finished here."
I put my bowl up a shelf and went out of the door.

I sighed and stretched my arms. I paused because I heard someone.

"Alright. You've entered the chamber. Princess Unatainabelle beckons you. But WAIT! IT'S A TRAP!", I heard a familiar voice say.
Someone else gasped in surprise.
"An illusion cast by Probabilitor the Annoying."
"You know his weakness, right?", the other one said and I realised it was Dipper.
Looks like he's playing D&D&MoreD with someone.

But where were the voices coming from?
"Prime-statistical anomalies over 37 but not exceeding 51!", the two voices said.
I knelt down and saw a small hole under the porch.

"Dipper?... is that you?", I asked squeezing my eyes together to see something.
"Huh? Y/N?", he asked and indeed I saw his face.
"How- how did you get down there??", I asked confused but also amused.
"Uh.. well I fell."
I laughed.

"We're playing D&D&MoreD right now. Wanna join?", the other voice asked and my dumbass realised it was Ford.
"I'd love to! But uh... how do I- AH!", I was about to ask as Dipper pulled me inside.

I landed in front of the two boys with my back on the floor.
"O-oh. Okay.", I said and sat up.
Ford chuckled.

"So uh... you can continue this round though. I'll join the next one.", I said and the two males nodded.

"Hm. The old boy looks a bit different than he did back in my day.", Ford said and held up the picture of Probabilitor.
"Yeah they changed the art every year.", I said.
"Thankfully you missed the period when the creators of the game tried to make it "cooler."", Dipper said and shivered.
"Oh god yes. They even called it Diggity Dungeons & all that.", I said laughing.
"Must have been dark times, those 90's.", Dipper added.
