[7/21/2015 9:45:18 PM] Ariel Ptak: (god, now I’m just thinking of all the “Toby growing up” feels)
[7/21/2015 9:45:33 PM] Seiya: GO ON
[7/21/2015 9:45:48 PM] Ariel Ptak: (like the moment Alcor very suddenly realizes that while he’s always kind of thought of Toby as this tiny tiny kid…suddenly he’s just as tall as Alcor himself.)
[7/21/2015 9:46:07 PM] Ariel Ptak: (like, Alcor can’t properly LOOM anymore unless he purposefully stretches a few more inches or hovers off the ground)
[7/21/2015 9:46:22 PM] Ariel Ptak: (and even then it’s just not the massive difference in size it once was)
[7/21/2015 9:47:18 PM] Seiya: if only because its obvious that hes having to float in order to loom also YES
[7/21/2015 9:48:08 PM] Ariel Ptak: (just the realization that Toby’s not a child anymore, that he’s practically an adult or will be in very little time and then he’ll be going off on his own and who knows what could happen to him out there…)
[7/21/2015 9:48:24 PM] Seiya: MAI HART
[7/21/2015 9:48:40 PM] Seiya: (especially since toby is a bleeding heart and fuck knows what will happen to him out there)
[7/21/2015 9:48:46 PM] Ariel Ptak: (exactly)
[7/21/2015 9:48:52 PM] Ariel Ptak: (karma hates him. Dipper knows this.)
[7/21/2015 9:50:32 PM] Seiya: (toby ends up taking care of himself just fine but dipper worries-….um
[7/21/2015 9:50:32 PM] Ariel Ptak: (the universe can and probably will do who knows what to his kid, who is not his kid, who is an adult and should be perfectly self-sufficient because Dipper has made sure to teach him as well as he can, but even so Toby’s probably going to get suckered by someone or hit by a bus or something)
[7/21/2015 9:50:34 PM] Seiya: doesn’t worry
[7/21/2015 9:50:34 PM] Seiya: at all
[7/21/2015 9:50:36 PM] Seiya: nope)
[7/21/2015 9:51:57 PM] Ariel Ptak: Dipper “okay seriously, if anyone ever tries to pull one over on you, I don’t care if it’s your boss or your landlord or whatever, you call me and I’ll come set them straight just because nobody’s allowed to do that to you except me, if I feel like it, or something” Pines
[7/21/2015 9:52:38 PM] Seiya: YAS
[7/21/2015 9:53:25 PM] Ariel Ptak: Dipper “you know you don’t HAVE to move out at eighteen, just because that’s when you’re legally emancipated doesn’t mean you’ve got to or anything, if you’re not ready – I mean, if there’s still any reason why I have to keep an eye on you or anything – then it’s probably better if you stay and go to school locally or something” Pines
[7/21/2015 9:54:09 PM] Seiya: YAS
[7/21/2015 9:54:32 PM] Ariel Ptak: Dipper “when the hell did you get so tall this isn’t right what happened did you get your hands on some kind of growing crystal magic you should know better than to use magics you don’t know the source of and without my supervision now change back this instant” Pines 😛
[7/21/2015 9:54:33 PM] Seiya: dipper “i just need free babysitting okay, NO OTHER REASON AT ALL” pines
[7/21/2015 9:55:18 PM] Seiya: dipper “you’re awful thin are you taking care of yourself i’m worrie-….worried that you’ll turn to evil to feed yourself let me cook you a four course meal to fix that” pines
[7/21/2015 9:55:23 PM] Ariel Ptak: Dipper “so Maddie was asking about you, for some reason the kid seems to like you, so are you coming to dinner this weekend or not?” Pines
[7/21/2015 9:56:00 PM] Ariel Ptak: Dipper “Maddie misses you come visit for the holidays” Pines
[7/21/2015 9:56:54 PM] Ariel Ptak: oh god, the first time Toby gets a cold while he’s on his own, like in the dorms or something, and he either mentions it in passing or else calls for a little advice…
[7/21/2015 9:57:28 PM] Seiya: he shows up with a bandolier of tissue boxes
[7/21/2015 9:57:35 PM] Ariel Ptak: just looking for confirmation that yeah, he’s remembering right when he thinks that the self-care regimen includes a lot of liquids and so forth
[7/21/2015 9:59:40 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: “ugh youre such a pain – no, lay your ass back down on that bed. here’s an ice pack for your head. you like chicken noodle, right? whatever, i’ll make what i find first. not just because its your favorite. i wouldnt know. hey you keep shivering here’s another blanket. got enough tissues? no no stay there i’ll get them,”
[7/21/2015 9:59:40 PM] Ariel Ptak: instead he gets the whole rundown on EVERYTHING you can do to help yourself get over a cold, an entire prescription of naps and tissues and soups and teas and compresses and who knows what else with strict instructions to go see the nurse as soon as it gets any worse and threats to come and check in on him just to make sure he’s not doing something stupid that could possibly put himself at risk of evil through the sheer annoyance of a lingering cough
[7/21/2015 10:00:50 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: “d – alcor, im an adult i can do this myself… ” “NO NO I’M ALREADY HERE AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO, SHUT UP”
[7/21/2015 10:01:58 PM] Ariel Ptak: oh man, though, “Tyrone” showing up at Toby’s dorm room door with soup and tissues as though it’s perfectly normal for a parent to somehow know their kid is sick and manage to travel who knows how long just to bring them these things, not to mention get past electronic locks on the dorm buildings and so forth…
[7/21/2015 10:02:24 PM] Ariel Ptak: Lucky if Toby’s roommate(s?) aren’t there to question it
[7/21/2015 10:02:34 PM] Ariel Ptak: Then Toby’s free to tell him off himself
[7/21/2015 10:02:41 PM] Ariel Ptak: “Alcor you’re not supposed to be here!”
[7/21/2015 10:03:09 PM] Ariel Ptak: “Alcor you aren’t authorized to be in this building, you don’t have a keycard to get past the locks, people are going to ask questions!”
[7/21/2015 10:03:15 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: “IM A BEING OF PURE ENERGY WITH NO WEAKNESSES, I DO WHAT I WANT”
[7/21/2015 10:03:42 PM] Ariel Ptak: “I can take care of myself, really, I just wanted to make sure that I was right about the whole ‘flushing the system’ thing with the soups and juices and teas!”
[7/21/2015 10:06:00 PM] Seiya: dipper “i regularly carry three rolled up blankets strapped to my back nbd” pines
[7/21/2015 10:06:04 PM] Ariel Ptak: “You’re masquerading as a HUMAN right now, and humans can’t do things like walk through locked doors without keys or past manned desks without being seen!”
[7/21/2015 10:06:33 PM] Ariel Ptak: Dipper “yeah so these blankets were probably going to be eaten by moths, they were just sitting around at home, so I figured I’d unload them on you” Pines
[7/21/2015 10:07:33 PM] Seiya: dipper the backhanded dad
[7/21/2015 10:07:43 PM] Seiya: toby the kid that could pay his way through college playing poker
[7/21/2015 10:07:54 PM] Ariel Ptak: oh god yes
[7/21/2015 10:08:32 PM] Ariel Ptak: Toby just looks so innocent and yet is so good at reading people and situations and stuff that he could probably sucker and con anyone if he wasn’t too nice to make a habit – or a career – of it
[7/21/2015 10:08:49 PM] Ariel Ptak: he’s probably picked things up from Alcor, even inadvertently
[7/21/2015 10:09:51 PM] Kassondra Ptak: if not all of it, he certainly pays for a good chunk that way
[7/21/2015 10:10:09 PM] Ariel Ptak: That’s how he gets money for textbooks
