They continue to watch him for another few seconds, almost like they’re trying to figure him out. It isn’t often they run across humans who so easily accept the existence of things like ghouls, after all.
“I punched it,” they say, a bit matter-of-factly. Their jeans are smeared with nearly black blood, evidence of where they’d wiped their hand on them to avoid getting blood on their work phone (can’t have it damaged and acting up when they’re trying to Solve A Problem), but as they shut it and drop it haphazardly back into their hip pouch one could see where even the cheap silver plastic of the device has been dirtied with the substance despite their efforts. They zip their bag shut, squinting at Dipper again. “What’s your story?”

❛ i really want that to be a lie. ❜ (uwu)
( x )They squint at him, their hands pausing in the middle of typing a curt text on their work flip-phone. It’s a moment before they say anything, but finally they give a little snort. “Which part?,” they say flatly, glancing down at the mangled corpse on the ground and nudging it with the toe of their boot. It’s humanoid, and wearing clothes, but if it was once human it has been twisted far beyong recognition, its limbs elongated and thin, its hair falling out, its mouth gaping open to reveal bloody, needle-point teeth. There’s a hole in its chest. “The part where this is a ghoul, or the part where I think there will be more ghouls?”

❝ right this way. ❞
he gives them a friendly smile before taking off, leading them through the endless corridors to a door where he stops, waiting for the turbolift. taking a moment, julian glances over his padd, typing away as it makes various little chimes. once finished? the blissful moment of silence is over.
and unfortunately for them, the turbolift arrives just then, and julian hops in and waits for them.
❝ i don’t believe i caught your name, what is it? ❞
they follow along behind him, glancing around at everything and everyone they pass along their way. they’re still trying to make sense of it all-- thankfully the good doctor is being quiet enough to let them sort themself out. for now.
they can’t help but tilt their head curiously at the device in his hands when it begins to make noise, but they don’t ask about it, instead joining him in the turbolift, hands anxiously fussing with their hair again.
“...i’m called bel,” they answer simply, shifting their weight from one foot to the other. should they tell him what planet they’re from? they decide to hold off on that information for now, until they better understand the situation they’ve landed themself in.
