The pupils are wrong! Like creepy vertical slits. He also doesn't get how people work? Like when he possessed Dipper back home I got him out by tickling him until he fell over from exhaustion.
Well so the thing is I think Bill's magical, not science-y. When Grunkle Ford let me see the journal with the stuff about making barriers to keep him out it had squiggly lines and stuff like unicorn hair as ingredients! And I know that's not the kinda stuff you do, but you're the smartest person we know and aren't related to but you're basically family and a wizard and I trust you so! [Breathe, Mabel.] Could you maybe just take a look at the weird junk and see if there's a way to get it to work? In case?
Oh well that was a lot of stuff all at once, and it leaves Charlie both touched and concerned because what on earth have these kids gotten themselves involved with. ]
Of course I will, Mabel. I can also cross-reference things I know about demons from my own world and see if there's anything else we can do.
[It's obviously a relief when he agrees, and she perks up noticeably. Not that she thought he wouldn't help, but-- look, demons are freaky, and maybe Charlie wants to spend his superhero vacation not dealing with the same old junk.]
Really?! Thanks, Charlie! I really appreciate it, especially the cross references and stuff 'cause I think he goes to other places too? And Bull's demons sound a little like him so I bet a lot of it is the same!
Yeah! I'll get Grunkle Ford to make a summary of stuff when he gets back. I don't think he's gonna let us borrow the journals but we can ask!
...okay but also don't do whatever it takes, just do whatever you can do that also keeps you and everybody in Nonah safe. Don't risk yourself! I've seen movies, I know it happens.
[Mabel hesitates, trying to come up with some way around her uncle's paranoia.]
Maybe if Dipper asks him? Or, no, he's still weirded out 'cause Bill did that post while he looked like Dipper... [She sighs.] I'll trying explaining it to him.

Gotcha.
I have like a dozen more questions, but you had something you wanted to ask me, didn't you?

Give me whatever you've got on this demon and let me see what I can come up with.

And I'll do whatever it takes, so long as it is reasonable and within my power to do. How's that?

[But she nods at his answer, satisfied.]
Perfect. Much better!
