[Oh good, it’s Mabel Pines. This bodes well! What doesn’t bode well is that she’s outside the mess that is Heropa 18, wearing a sweet helmet and with two piles of junk sitting on the front lawn visible in the frame. Piles of junk that might, in a galaxy long ago and far away, be a “pod racer.” Except these definitely have more rockets attached to the sides. Like, an excessive amount of rockets.]

Hey guys! Mabel Pines here-- oh and Dipper! [Who waves distractedly at the camera as he puts the finishing touches on his racer.] We just wanted to remind everybody to save the date. The date being August 31st! ‘Cause it’s our birthday and it’s gonna be a celebonanzapalooza to be remembered. We’ll be celebrating being fourteen-- totally seasoned teenagers!-- in major style. And all of you are invited!

[In the background, the pod racers gently lift off the ground. There's a faint humming noise and a weird glow. This actually looks like it might work?? Dipper gives Mabel a thumbs up and adjusts his helmet, only for one of the racers to make an alarming pinging sound and suddenly list to one side. He smacks something and everything straightens out.]

We really do mean all, even you new people! Every imPort’s a friend of the Pines family, except for that one guy and he knows who he is. Come by, say hi, get cake! Bring presents.

[Dipper nods at Mabel, and the twins snap on some sweet goggles in synch. Several pigs with fire extinguishers in their mouths stand at attention. Mabel makes to turn off the camera before she remembers--]

--and if you’re in Heropa we’re sorry about the noise!

[Mabel gives a jaunty wave and the camera turns off as they hop in their racers. The people of Heropa will get treated to some alarming drag racing noises and some minor explosions in the next few minutes. Everyone else-- hey, you’re invited to a party! If the kids are still alive to host it!]

[ Rose didn't realize her powers were... unique. It seemed like a couple people had similar ones but now that she thinks about it, she still supposes it must be uncommon. ]

Uh, it's hard to say! Singing angry songs seems to make people angry, singing slow songs or lullabies seems to make them fall asleep. [ It's like RPG statuses: going berserk, sleep status, etc. If only she could realize that. ]

I'm not in a band - yet - but I am a super sick DJ.

You've got like magical inspiration powers! I bet you kick butt at karaoke nights. [Obviously the priority!] Do you just work at clubs and stuff or do you do parties?

[hasitsthorns]

You bet I do. [ Obviously. And Rose is actually here for it. Let it be known that she is the best at karaoke in all the land. ]

I work at a club, but I could probably swing a party gig. You need some entertainment for yours?

[She's about to say heck yes, because that's such a good idea-- but then she remembers they're having their party at a loud and spacious amusement part. Mabel shakes her head, a little regretfully. The possibilities! But alas, it is not meant to be.... for this event.]

No, the place we're having our party isn't really ideal for music? We might have karaoke, though! And I go out for karaoke all the time. And you know what I always wish for? A karaoke hype lady.

[ Well, hey! There is always next time! ]

A karaoke hype lady, huh... Well. It is true I love myself some karaoke and hyping people up for it.
