Journal Entry # 1 [Video/Action]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Anyone who walks by or happens to be watching the network feed will see a frustrated kid siting on the grass and flipping through an old, battered journal.]

There isn't anything in this book about 'Pokémon'! Or how a sheep can produce electricity! That mom lady must have been a shape-shifter who didn't look anything like my mom... and that professor makes McGucket look sane...

[The gear moves towards the boy before it's tossed to the ground. Unfortunately, it lands face down, obscuring whatever threw it and the boy.]

Hey! Don't break that. We might need it later.

Is that even real money?

[sneezelikeakitten]

... so maybe a curse? I don't have a book of counter-curses.

[video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[DING DING DING]

So they are a mafia!

[video]

[paladinlost]

I suppose so. Do mafias usually hijack trains and steal pet cats from young children?

[veggie_vamp]

Like you and me! My name is Draculaura! What's yours?

[Video]

[samsa]

[...you aren't wrong, Dipper.

Also easy there, friend.]

I was just curious...? It's just...I work at a bookstore here, and I don't think I've seen anything like that before.

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Yeah...actually, in October there were these...monsters attacking people. It was awful. I might have died without my Pokemon.

[video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

Yes! And much worse! Like take out other mafia's that get in their way. And they bribe the cops to look the other way when they commit crimes.

[A vampire with a very predictable vampire name.]

Dipper Pines.

[sneezelikeakitten]

You can't buy it in a bookstore. It's a one of a kind.

[All about interesting things, like monsters, urban legends, paranormal... the list goes one. It just can't tell you how or what women actually are all about. Sorry!]

Re: Video

[sneezelikeakitten]

Monsters? [Do tell.] What did they look like? Were they easy to beat? How ferocious do you think they were?

[Is going to take notes.]

[Video]

[samsa]

[Is that supposed to be implying something...]

It sure looks that way. What is it about?

[He doesn't look like he wants to steal it, at least. He just looks very interested.]

[Video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[No. Just pointing out that some mysteries can never be solved.]

Mysteries in a small town.

[Video]

[samsa]

Mysteries?

[Color him curious.]

Is there anything about ghosts in it?

[video]

[paladinlost]

...While that last part would explain so much about the local form of law enforcement, as far as I know Team Rocket is not guilty of that particular crime.

[Video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

Maybe. But they're not ghost stories.

[More questions. Is this guy honest or is there something he's hiding?]

[video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

But what if they're so good at it that no one's noticed?

[Video]

[samsa]

[Maybe?]

I see...mysteries are my favorite kinds of stories. It sounds like that must be full of pretty good ones.

[He assumes, anyway, since Dipper's still being kindof cagey about it.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

I suppose they must be good at something, but if that's their talent I assure you it's not helped them much. Most trainers and breeders are quite willing to intervene during attacks, when the Jennies are too slow to act.

[Video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

There's no stories in these. Just cold, hard facts.

[Serious child is serious.]

[video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[So the community rises up together. That's good to know.

Wait.]

The Jennies?

[Video]

[samsa]

...facts? So you believe the mysteries to be true?

[Sounds like he's got an overactive imagination, for a kid. Assuming this book is just that- a book of fiction someone wrote.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

The officers. An alarming number of them are identical and bear the name Jenny. Many of the nurses are also extremely alike.

[Video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

No. They are true. I've seen it all myself.

[Not that he has any photographic proof. Oh, if only Mabel were here, or his grunkle Stan would talk to this guy...]

I don't think she's a shapeshifter, I think she's just... very confused.
