Calcifer was at work yet again, moving the castle down the wastes, stopping often to rest for a few moments, but started moving after said short rest. It seemed to take a lot of effort to even lift a leg to move the ridiculously large home. Steam spewed out of joints and smoke rose from the many chimneys coming from the top of the structure. It should’ve been impossible to move the castle, yet, there it was, moving.

Howl and his little apprentice he just took in were at the capitol city, and the fire was left alone to do his own work. At least his master wasn’t using- wasting his hot water like he always did. Nights like these, though he’d never admit it, did get lonely sometimes. Emphasis on sometimes. He was flickering out slightly, mostly because of the lack of wood he was using as energy. At least the only thing he was doing was moving the Castle, anyway.

Dipper had chosen to leave the Shack for a week or more, his family getting on his last nerve pushing the young boy away to get some alone time. Despite it being only his third day on his own he was already getting rather lonely - and hungry as he’d only brought enough snacks for one day…

He’d lost track of where he was - though it would be an easy map look and finding of a main road  to find his place - but before he considered that he noticed the large moving castle… Stomping it’s way across the flatland area. A thin grin spread on the boys lips and curiosity took over, turning his course towards the castle.
