Journal Entry # 2 [Video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Dipper pops up on the network, looking unhappy and exhausted. And covered in dirt, leaves, and Meowstic fur.]

I decided to explore Ilex Forest due to the stories of a legendary Pokémon named Celebi. After a week of getting lost in these dense trees, I found the shrine. There's nothing special about it.

[Just going to pan around and show just how lost he is in these woods.]

I've found Pokémon, weird mushrooms, and my cat evolved. I've caught a balloon, a thing with a leaf on its head, and an owl. My PokéDex tells me those are a Drifloon, Chikorita, and a Hoothoot. There's other noteworthy Pokémon in this place, but no Celebi.

[Said cat pops up on the screen, and a male Meowstic waves at everyone.]

It's week three in this forest. Or so the calendar tells me. I may die in this forest unless I find a way out.

[The broadcast cuts out. Seems Dipper may have been trying to make something like an actual journal entry and in his exhaustion has posted to the network instead. Please save him. Or just give him directions out of there.]

WHOA]

[Do you know Time Baby?]

[pipers_son]

[That brings out another laugh.]

If only! S'just happen ta be a little... displaced, that's all. This place did the time travelin, not me.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

So this world made you time travel here?

[Now he wants to know if there's people from the future here, and how many from the past. Was this guy from his past, or another dimension entirely? Not too many questions at once, Dipper.]

[pipers_son]

Seems like. Lemme tell ya, it was quite the change! Thought I'd died somehow and gone ta heaven, ha ha.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

So this is like heaven to you?

video;

[pipers_son]

Work ain't hard ta come by. Can talk ta people, see their faces, even if they're in another country. Hell, the people, if I ever needed it, could just ask, and someone wouldn't mind takin' me in if I needed ta be. Folks get hurt, they'll patch ya up best they're able without wantin' pay.

S'just the basics. Could keep goin'.

What else would ya call it?

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

A place better than America. Sometimes. Except that not paying for getting patched up.

video;

[pipers_son]

Ya know, I always heard about America, but never really figured I'd go there. What's it like, especially in the... suppose it's the future, yeah?

[sneezelikeakitten]

Depends on what place you wanna hear about. I'm from California, but my Grunkle Stan lives in Gravity Falls. But apparently he's from New Jersey.

[Why anyone would come from there is beyond Dipper.]

video;

[pipers_son]

Oh, y'know Stan, huh? Ha, I like 'im. Showy guy. Gravity Falls sounds like quite the impressive name, 'tho.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Why do people like Stan????]

Riiiight. It's just a paranormal hot spot in Oregon.

video;

[pipers_son]

[Because Joker can recognize a fellow con artist, but sssh.]

Ah. Paranormal. Demons, and the like?

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

Demons, ghosts, monsters, you name it!

video;

[pipers_son]

...Let's talk about California, then.

[Demons are a... touchy subject.]

Where's that? Never did touch up on foreign countries and the like. S'not in my schoolin'.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

California's on the West Coast of the US. It's right above Mexico, south of Oregon, and borders Nevada and Arizona. It's also the third largest state and has the most people.

video;

[pipers_son]

Ha... I didn't think ya would give me somethin' so specific. Like it there?

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

[You didn't specify how much info you wanted.]

It's great here! So much mystery, so many things I can do here... it'd be perfect with my sister here.

video;

[pipers_son]

What's yer sister's name? Maybe folks can keep an eye out for her.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

Her name's Mabel Pines. She looks like me, but with longer hair and braces. Oh, and she's a girl.

video;

[pipers_son]

Kinda figured, with how ya were referrin' ta her! Seems like ya got quite a family resemblance.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

Well, I found out that there's people who call themselves girls but they were born as boys.

video;

[pipers_son]

Oh yeah, that sorta thing. [A vague gesture.] Don't much get it myself, but no skin off my nose, y'know?

[Or maybe he's just too easy going? Eh.]

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

If it makes them happy, can't say much about it.

video;

[pipers_son]

Happy and no one's dead! Probably. S'an important distinction.

[Joker.]

[..... if only you knew this kid's full story.]

I agree!
