TESTING TESTING

Man, I hope this works. Okay. Here goes!

Greetings to the city of Trench, the survivors of the Nightmare, and any of you that just apparently washed up here with no connection to any of this. My name is Dipper Pines and I have a few very important questions for everyone. Firstly:

Sup?

And secondly:

Tell me about your blood. As much detail as you can! What color is it, what’s it do, is it reactive to anything? Does it smell funny? Does it taste weird? Anything you’ve noticed!

Thanks!

PS - I think I’m gonna change my username, so if you see responses from “Alcaid”, that’s still me.

I discovered early on that my blood has turned greenish from its usual healthy red. This has had an interesting effect on my complexion, giving my usual Northern European beige complexion a greenish tint in the shadows. (Side note: Wasn't there some space opera TV show which had an alien species with greenish blood? I recall my medical school dorm mate watching something like that on full blast on his thirty pound 'portable' TV. This was the 1970s.) Also, it smells of especially strong and poisonously sweet lilies, reminiscent of the scent from a variety in my world of origin, known as the Stairway to the Sun Lily.

I had traces of genetic material from that species in my system, due to having been exposed to a pathogen which lives in symbiosis with this plant. I've wondered if this has any bearing on this particular transmutation?

[We stan a person who is as thorough as this. Dipper is writing all of this down.]

The show you’re talking of sounds like something called …Galaxy Journey? Maybe? I know what you’re talking about, at least.

Green blood, noted. My sister’s was like that and it ALSO had kind of a floral scent? Fascinating. I’m going to keep a note of all the scents and see how the vary from person to person. Thanks for our input!

The title isn't familiar, but that was thirty years ago and my memory is still recompiling since I arrived here (I suppose it's par the course for a rebirth as dramatic as turning into a vampire squid and then back into my self). But I'll take your word for it.

Pleased to be of assistance. And it's a relief to hear that someone else has experienced this phenomenon. However, I have to ask, has she, to your knowledge, experienced any peculiar behavior from some of the older local folk? I've ducked into a few shops for some incidentals, and some older clerks have stepped around me gingerly though not rudely. I know I'm rather imposing to look at, but I was polite with them. I trust that I simply have been catching them off guard.

Oh …no, she hasn’t said anything to me about that. I’ll have to ask her. We haven’t talked to a lot of the locals yet, but they do kind of watch us like we’re, ah, kind of a spectacle, I’ve noticed.

Do you think it has something to do with the blood?

That's good to hear. Perhaps I was being paranoid, or it's simply people being overwhelmed by newcomers.

I have heard talk that one type of blood has inspired this world's version of vampires. As long as no one comes after me with a wooden stake, I won't be bothered. I've been told I look like a 90s pop culture vampire, though as far as I know, in my case, it's simply the aesthetic. Time and self-discovery will tell.

Meanwhile, holy water simply makes me wet, garlic tastes delicious in a good shrimp scampi, and I decidedly can see my reflection in a mirror.

You were involved in Bill Cipher's little science project, attempting to open a portal out of Sodder's Nightmare, yes?
