Thunk. Thunk. The sound of knives hitting wood. That's what echoed around the crude caravan that served as a dressing room for the eldest of the Gleeful twins, Mabel. The chosen target of this latest knife throwing boredom fit was in fact her brother Dipper, or rather a promotional poster for the Twin's show. The smug little shit eating grin in the poster was always plastered on his stupid face in reality as well and Mabel of all people knew this oh so well. She had rather grown to resent her brother over the years and lately she had found herself plotting ways to overthrow him and take the centre stage for herself.
"I'm sick of just being the assistant in the flashy outfit!" She throws another knife and hits him square between the eyes "I mean, does he even know what I sacrifice for this show? No, he doesn't! I'm the only one keeping this dam thing on the road, without me he'd be nothing!"
By this point she was pacing around "Why? Why do I put up with this? With HIM. Urg". Her frustration was swiftly interrupted when a sudden wave of unknown energy passed over the whole town. She ran to her caravan door and flung it open.
"Dipper…Dipper! Did you feel that?"
The other Gleeful sibling poked his head out from the back of the tent canopy "Feel what? Oh that wave of energy? That was simply myself rehearsing for the show later. I was trying out a new spell, don't pay it any mind dear sister" and with that he was back inside again, ignoring her.
"No" she muttered under her breath "That was most definitely not you Dipper"
After a few moments of tapping her finger on her chin she decided that she would sneak away and track down the source of the energy wave. It could be the key to becoming more powerful than her brother and she wasn't going to miss that chance. She could totally be back before the show tonight and besides, it's not like he'd notice she was missing.
Mabel didn't know why she was even surprised that her journey had led her to this place. This stone formation lay deep within the heavily forested mountains of the Falls and Mabel knew it well. It was a quiet little place that she liked to visit when her aggravation levels rose to the point where it became obvious. Having to put on an act every night to for this stupid hick town and hide her true self was horrid.
"'Goodnight Y'all.'" She shuddered.
She was knocked off her feet as a deep tremor passed beneath her. Once this had passed the soft breeze returned but this time it brought a faint mutter of words with it. Although curious she thought it best to dismiss this for now, beside she could barely make them out anyway and if she was away much longer Dipper would give her grief for being late. She sighs as she walks away "Show time I guess"
