I'm going to be particularly useless at moving anyone larger than me as well, especially now. [He thinks his head hurts, but here comes Dipper to the rescue.] Whatever you're doing, Dipper, you have my permission.
Okay. Hold still and ...maybe close your eyes if you want. I'll try to be quick.
[And hopefully he doesn't regret that, seeing how invasive this might be. Let's see.]
[He comes to kneel in front of him, putting a hand near his head but not quite touching. This is always smoother if its obvious the person is asleep, but he can certainly induce this state while people are awake, too. OR MAYBE THEY'RE ALL ASLEEP ACTUALLY. Time to find out.]
[There's a ripple in reality around them as Dipper tries to access Gnosis' mindscape.]
[You know, better one kid who's already been in his thoughts today than having to admit his issues out loud to the class! Gnosis is normal and doesn't need therapy what are you talking about.
His mindscape is, expectedly, very cold. More of a frozen wasteland at first with very little in the way of foliage or warmth or houses, save for a lone structure standing in the middle of it. Sometimes if Dipper looks, there are a few animals roaming around in the "wilds" — five snow leopards of varying sizes, a surprisingly muscular goat, two musk deer, a yak, a polar bear, and a strange chimeric creature with black and blue fur whose shape sort of "blurs" the longer Dipper perceives it.
Right now, if Dipper digs deep enough, Gnosis' passive resistance to being perceived kicks in, and he'll notice that one of the musk deer and four of the snow leopards disappear entirely. Hmmmm.]
Dipper will also notice that occasionally there’s a blink and you’ll miss it sort of “glitch” that appears occasionally. Small artifacts that skew color just a little bit. It’s barely noticeable. Aside from that, everything seems okay. Aside from Gnosis’ issues but that’s not a thing we can fix with magic. Please send a gnosis near you to therapy.
[Ugh, cold. His Californian ass doesn't care for this. Oh well, at least it's only metaphorical cold so he won't get sick or something. Anyway-]
[This one is not quite a straight forward as Joshua's, but that's fine. He takes note of the animals vanishing, frowns and heads for the structure for now.]
[He see's that glitching too, and it's reminiscent of the weird glitching he's dealt with lately trying to use his powers against the Brand. He's going to keep an eye on it, but keep moving forward. He sees all these animals, but not a single crane yet, interesting.]
[No cranes yet! Notably as he approaches the structure, the goat and the snow leopard that didn't disappear follow after him at a distance. They won't do anything, even as Dipper slides open the doors, but they will keep stalking him.
The building's layout doesn't seem to make much sense; logically a building of this size would have more than one room, but that front door sort of bugs out and leads to a lab, which is Likely Not How This Building Is Supposed To Be.
This is where the crane is! Apparently Gnosis' mindscape version of himself is just a crane wearing his usual beaded necklaces and a white trilby.
He seems to be ambulating normally, as a crane would, bar the fact that this crane picks up test tubes and tools with his wings as if they had opposable thumbs.
[Should he turn into an owl? To Match? It's not the first time he's changed his appearance to match someone's mindscape.]
[But the point is to jar something loose, and so his weird non-furry presence is actually what they need, right? Bummer. As a weird person-shaped thing, Dipper walks in, walks around and finally spots Mr. Crane.]
[Yeah, this all checks out for dream/brain logic.]
[Hello to you too Dipper, sorry, he's putting his test tubes in the centrifuge. Spin spin spin. It's going to be a few minutes until his brain actually decides to let Dipper in properly, at which point he politely Crane Sits in a chair and spins to face Dipper.
The goat and the snow leopard take up spots on either side of him.]
I can speak now. What is it?
[No cares about if you look human, sorry. He uh. Knows humans :') ask me about the rainbow six siege and dungeon meshi collabs—]
Affogato has, until now, noticed that Mizuki has not stirred at all, and while that is still true, he seems to be occasionally twitching or moving his lips. Before Affogato notices, though, he stops.

But there’s definitely something off.
