[There’s a lot of noise in the background of this video post. Like, way more noise than usual when Mabel’s face shows up on the network. One could say almost… exactly double the noise?]

Hi! Hey. Important question. I know everybody’s busy with stuff but this is a matter of life and death probably? Through forces beyond our control we have an animal that-- well look!

[The camera pans. Two twelve year old boys (who look suspiciously like tiny versions of the Stans) are riding a magnificent creature around a living room. Dipper watches anxiously, but seems resigned to the situation. He has the look of someone who has walked through the flames of hell and can now withstand anything. The camera stays on the chaos long enough for one of the Stan kids to fall off the… thing. The lower part of the thing. The part you can conceivably ride on.]

It’s a centaurtaur! And we’re not sure how it breathes? Or eats. We have some, um, theories but we can’t test it because we can't reach. So if anyone’s ever had any experience with an animal like this or you’re pretty tall and willing to help us do some research please let us know! Thanks.

We definitely confiscated it. They wanted to keep rolling to get another centaurtaur.

Oh, that's wonderful. [ and he's just SO RELIEVED. ]

Since the centaurtaur was created by a power, couldn't you simply find someone who can nullify powers and borrow them for a moment?

[ursawhiner]

The power is summoning it, though. Would a power nullifier work as a kind of undo button? Sounds like it would just stop us from creating more.

[regenereight]

You know, I honestly have no idea. Shall we try it?

[ursawhiner]

Do you know anyone who can nullify powers?

[regenereight]

[ paaaaaaaause before ] You know, I'm afraid I don't.

[ursawhiner]

...Guess that's a dead end.

[regenereight]

Given enough time I'm certain I could make a power nullifier, but who knows what the centaurtaur would do in between then.

[ursawhiner]

We're going to try feeding it bologna. And maybe some mustard.

[regenereight]

Good luck finding out how it eats.

[ursawhiner]

It might eat through its skin like a toad. So we're just going to uh... put it on?

[This sounds crazier the more he talks about it.]

[regenereight]

[ It does indeed sound crazy. ]

Well, there is that quote about success being ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration. Best of luck.
