Ha. Yeah, well. When you're in a team where everyone else is just as good at everything, that stops meaning as much.
Everyone else had their specialty, something they could do better than anyone else. And then there was me. My specialty, as far as the rest of them were concerned, was being dead weight.
Honestly? I found a different team. Somewhere it was about supporting each other, not tearing each other down to be the best.
You already have people in your life who want to see you succeed. Me included. Yeah, you might get ribbed a little while you figure things out, but all of us want to see you pull through. So don't worry too much about being the rookie every now and again, and remember you don't need to do any of this alone.
... and don't do anything Caboose tells you to do. That's key too.

[He'd just, y'know, not been sure how much was being loopy on fear gas. Apparently very little.]
... right. The one on the network hid his eyes.
[Some loose threads are really coming together, here.]
no subject
You should stay away from him. The only way to tell us apart is our eyes. And he'll probably have a lot of weird injuries.
[Dipper doesn't really want to say, 'Stay away from me, too,' but that might be best for now.]

You know you can ask me for help if these things ever come to a head, right?
no subject
[And there is zero chance Dipper's actually going to call Wash when he's in trouble.]

Nice to know there's more to blue team than Caboose trying to make me drink hot sauce.

[Uh oh. What is this. It's... it's the rare Blue Team CO Pep Talk.]
You know, I got pegged as the rookie at first too.
no subject
...Seriously? But you're so good at everything.

Me and Mabel together can do anything.
...Also, can you check if Caboose actually doesn't know my name or if he's just messing with me?
no subject
And yeah, I don't need to check. He doesn't know it. It took months for him to be totally clear on mine.

It was less work to just let him call me Church.
