video } common sense comes crashing down when you set foot in this town

[The feed starts with Dipper’s face way too close to the screen, tongue out as he sets the phone in place. It wiggles a bit as he finds a good balance, then he moves back to sit next to Mabel and gives an awkward grin and a wave.]

Hi! Dipper and Mabel here. Welcome to Gravity Falls, I guess? Sort of? [He glances over at Mabel.]

Close enough, anyway! [Mabel’s not exactly concerned about the differences, to be honest. she’s all but bouncing in her seat.] For once, Wonderland’s giving us a break! Gravity Falls is totally awesome so long as certain well-dressed triangles aren’t here. [she blows a raspberry.]

Which he probably isn't since he used to be here as a… [Dipper glances up, scratching his chin.] Well, I’m still not sure if he was here on purpose or not, but the fact is, he’s no more likely to secretly be lurking here now than he was before the event started. But isosceles horrors aside, there is a lot to watch out for here. The woods are filled with amazing creatures!

Gnomes! Unicorns! Sometimes an occasional cow with extra legs. But the important thing to remember is that for the most part, none of them are really gonna hurt you. They’re more… [she squints, trying to find the right word.] ...annoying? Weirdly stalker-y? [she shrugs] Point is! They’re pretty easy to deal with if they get on your nerves. And accidentally swallowing unicorn blood will not give you an extra face on the back of your head! [she turns around in her chair and tosses her hair over her face to demonstrate] See?

And the Multibear has surprisingly good taste in music. [Dipper looks slightly shifty as he says it.] For the record, we mean deal with in a non-fatal manner. [He spreads his hands out in front of him, looking serious.] I know a lot of you fight monsters in your worlds, but can you just… try not to do it here? It’s unnecessary and really sort of a jerk move. I mean, a lot of them are sentient.

[Mabel turns around tosses her hair back.] Yeah, seriously guys, even the gnomes aren’t that bad, and they tried to make me marry all two thousand and something of them.

[there weren’t that many, Mabel.] And, most importantly, don’t forget to check out the gift shop for all your mystery needs!

[she beams proudly, much like someone who expects to be rewarded for throwing that in.]

[Dipper rolls his eyes like someone who won’t actively speak out against the family business but also refuses to participate in the sucking up part of this message.] And ask us if you have any questions. No one knows these woods better than us. [A beat, then he quickly adds:] Except Great Uncle Ford. [Ford is the reason Dipper and Mabel know so much, after all. He looks over at Mabel, frowning slightly.] Do you think the gnomes’ll bother Wirt?

[still facing the camera and beaming.] He’ll be fine.

[click.]

Okay, I'll bite.

[Gravity Falls, he can deal with. Not fighting monsters? Check. Unicorns? He's skeptical, but fine. Still:]

What's a multibear?

ah yes, triangles, truly the wickedest of geometric shapes
whereas dodecahedrons on the other hand radiate endless poise and grace

Wait.

Wait.

[Wait.]

Multibear.

[Actually nevermind that --]

What's a unicorn?

Being sentient does not mean they won't hurt you.

But I'll bite. Of these charming creatures. Which would you say is the strongest?

This place seems pretty boss so far. But! What exactly is a Multibear, and by good taste in music you don't mean like One Direction right?

[ not sure what is happening at all. ]

They shall not come inside, true?

[ her direwolf is sitting by her bed ]

I cannot promise Lyanne shall not try to prey upon them.

[As pissed off as he is about this, it's... a nice change of pace from what he's experienced so far. Still, it's tons of people trampling through 'his house' and the 'woods' he knows so well. Keeping that in mind, he likes that Dipper and Mabel made their announcement.

Ford also knows his brother and he intends to cut him off at the pass.]

Great job with the information, kids. Who wants to help their Great Uncle protect the forest and not be stuck working in the gift shop all day?

[Who could pass up a chance for adventure, and who could say no to a smile like that?]

heh, man. it's kinda refreshing to see monsters again. even if they're kinda weird.

[ Okay, this is cute. Clarke beams despite herself. ]

So this is your twin. Hi, Mabel. I'm Clarke.

[ She pauses, attempting to take in all the information they've thrown at her. Gnomes. Unicorns. Something called a Multibear? ]

I'm not sure where to start with the questions.

Why would Wirt-... oh. 'Cause of the hat.

[ Ellie snickers, looking highly amused, but also fairly excited to be in Gravity Falls, which... honestly, is so much more exciting and fun-seeming than the tavern and its dangerous forest. ]

Does he ever take that stuff off? I've never seen him in other clothes, not that I can remember.

Haha. I kinda hope I see one of those cows free-roaming the woods, dudes. It's been like forever.

[ THIS IS CLEARLY THE MOST RELEVANT AND IMPORTANT THING. But nah, it's just nice to see the kids doing their familiar territory thing. Masters of their domain and all that biz. ]

[Oof. He feels bad about scaring Mabel in regards to the unicorn blood. But it was a real concern! You don't mess around with that sort of magic! It just...happens that this place has a totally different idea of what magic even looks like. Which is why they're so calm about all the creatures, he supposes?]

I think my parents would refer to this place as "infested."

Should I assume that the man who I caught eating out of a rubbish bin was some sort of creature and not just unwell?
