Roll:56
"Mr. Determined, you're making a big mistake!" You walk up to the man in question and take a deep breath to steady your voice. "What you saw was Grunkle Stan's means of making tacky tourist money. We were going to paint silly faces on them later." It didn't feel right or, at least, it shouldn't have felt this right to lie.
"Whaaaaaaat!?!? This folly could endanger the good name of that man's establishment! I must rectify it." Toby declares. Sounds can be heard from the other end of the line. "Oh, they're back! Let me talk to them. Sargent! There's been a misunderstanding. Please disengage. Uh-huh. I see..................... I see..................... I see. Thank you." He hangs up the phone and closes his eyes.
"So, what happened?" you ask.
The man looks at you and says, "The cops are already on their way."
"What!?!?" you and you brother say in unison.
"I'm sorry, kids, but I reported a federal crime. They have to check up on it. I'm sure your Grunkle will be able to sort out this whole mess." Toby concludes.
You and Dipper rush out of the Gravity Falls Gossiper and find Soos.
[X] Hide the evidence
-[X] Warn Grunkle Stan
You told Soos it was urgent to get back to the shack and nothing else. You saw the police mobilizing outside the station. It took a lot out of you not to break down and cry right there. The truck pulled up to the tourist stop as the last pieces of the sunset made it over the mountains and gave way to the night sky. The two of you hop out of the vehicle. "Soos, you've got to get out of here! Take the back road!" your brother yells.
"Sure, dude, but why-" "THERE"S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! JUST GO!" you shout before you slam the door to his truck dramatically. Soos speeds down the more secluded pathway back to his house.
You run to the gift shop entrance and you see Wendy about to leave.
"Wendy! You need to get out of here as fast as possible!" you exclaim.
"Can do." she calmly states, entering the forest and out of sight.
You and your brother call out your grunkle's name repetitively before he joins you in the gift shop.
"What's with all the commotion?" he asks.
"The cops will be here any minute! They found out about your fake money scheme!" you say.
"Well, I-um.... Where's Soos? I need him to move some -uh- attractions from my office," Grunkle Stan asks.
"We sent him home." Dipper explains.
Your elder yells, "You what!?!?"
Oh no. "Don't tell us he was your backup plain," you plead.
Grunkle Stan crosses his arms and angrily stares off in the distance.
"GRUNKLE STAN!"
"WHAT? YOU TOLD ME NOT TO TELL YOU!!!"
You scream at the top of your lungs and slam your head to the ground. Your tears make their short journey from your eyes to the floorboards that you refused to let go of. You feel a large hand pat you on the back. Your elder says in a hushed tone, "Look Mabel. Don't worry about it. It's gonna be ok."
You slowly lift yourself up to face Grunkle Stan. His soft smile is enough to calm you down. Perhaps the cops will go easy on the three of you like last time.
You hear the squeaking of breaks as blue and red lights flash by the front door. Well, here we go.
Suddenly, your brother bolts pass you. "Dipper, what are you doing?" you ask, trying to be as quiet as possible.
"Just stall them for as long as you can. I've got an idea." he says.
You and Grunkle Stan look at each other with confusion until a fist bangs against the door.
"This is the police. Open up."
The two of you clean yourselves up before your grunkle greets the squad. "Hello officers! What can I do for you today?" he asks. The friendliness and obliviousness in his voice almost seems genuine to you.
"Sheriff Ding Wallerbird of the county police department. We've been called up from anonymous sources on the belief that there is a counterfeiting racket here. We'd like to investigate the premisses." The man was only a couple years younger than your guardian but the muscles pressing against his uniform made him look tougher.
Grunkle Stan was unfazed. "Absolutely. I'd do anything I can to help but first, may I interest you in a free tour of the wondrous oddities found in the Mystery Shack Museum?"
~~~~~~~~~~
The tour was going well. Your grunkle showed them some of the classics like the Sascrotch and the Antlerrabbit. One of the guys tried to shoot the World's Most Distracting Object but Sheriff Wallerbird stopped him. You held your tongue for the most part, only speaking when offering the cops a drink or answering one of their questions. You preferred to let Grunkle Stan to do the lying. He had been living a big one for at least thirty years.
His composure starts to crack when you reach the office. "And here, gentlemen, is my office. I assure you that all you will find here is a humble but serviceable workspace and nothing remotely representing illegal activity," he says through a tight smile as he opens the door.
It's gone. Everything that was connected to the counterfeiting scheme disappeared. You and your grunkle look on in astonishment as the police search for something that was no longer there.
They continue to inspect the room for another half-hour before the sheriff decides that it was time to pack up.
"Make sure to take that guy off of the sources list," he whispers to one of the officers. "I apologize to both of you for the disturbance. Thank you for your hospitality and have a great night."
The door closes and you hear the police cars pull away.
Moments later, your brother steps into the room. "What I miss?" he asks.
"Dipper!" The hug you give him almost knocks him to the ground. He laughs it off and adjusts his hat a little.
"Okay, Houdini. I wanna the cash and the printing press where I can see 'em in an hour," Grunkle Stan says as he walks by both of you, "In the meantime, I'm gonna see if the cops left any bugs and ask Soos if I could borrow the truck."
You scrunch up your face for a second at how ungrateful your grunkle could be. It was probably just a part of the tough-guy attitude he liked to tote around. Given time, he might be able to give a complement.
"So, where did you p-" Your brother shushes you and leads you upstairs before you finish your question.
The two of you enter your bedroom. Dipper closes the door and looks around as if Grunkle Stan might suddenly appear behind him. He takes off his green cap and presents to you a miniature printing press neatly balanced on top of his head.
"That's amazing!" you say.
"Well, I thought 'since we almost got mauled by a mountain loin for this height crystal, might as well use it,'" Dipper explains.
You chuckle. "What do you think Grunkle Stan will do with the fake money stuff? Burn it? Shred it?"
~~~~~~~~~~
"Grunkle Stan, I don't think this is a good idea," you say.
"Look. Dipper's got his way of disposing evidence and I have mine," your elder justifies. He strokes the wood of the printing press. "Goodbye, old friend."
With a few deep breaths, the man lifts the device off of the bed of the truck and throws it to the asphalt. The printing press breaks on impact. Grunkle Stan scatters the unmarked sheets of paper across the front lawn and hops into the driver seat of Soos's truck.
The lights of the house turn on, signaling your grunkle to floor it.
"HAVE FUN WITH THAT, GLEEFULS!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~
It's past midnight now. Neither you or your brother have been able to sleep after yesterday. The two of you just stare up at the ceiling together.
[X] Talk to Dipper
-[X] About all the weird stuff that he happened so far this summer
"So," the both of you start, followed by laughter.
"What a day," your brother says.
"What a week!" you add, "Find a journal, make a height ray, fooled the cops. It's crazy!"
"Yeah, who'd have known our grunkle was making counterfeit money," Dipper says, "It's nothing supernatural but it's still nuts."
Yeah, nothing supernatural. You pause. "You're not angry with him, are you?"
He looks at you. "Hmm? No. Not really. I'm just looking for a 'Thank You,' you know?"
"Well, let me do it," you say. You cough a bit and your eyes cross. "Thank you, Dipper, for not getting me arrested. Now, take this pillow and make it spookier to attract customers."
The two of you laugh again.
"But seriously, thank you," you continue in your normal voice, "If it wasn't for you, we'd have never been able to get rid of the evidence in time."
"If it wasn't for you, we never would have found out about the counterfeit scheme in the first place," he replies.
"Hey, we're a team. Partners in crime -literally-" you snort inwards a bit. You have no morals. "We're the Mystery Twins!"
Dipper stares at you. "Don't call us that."
"Okay," Maybe later. "I'm sorry that we got sidetracked from our search for the supernatural," you say as you climb on top of your bed. "I swear, we'll do some hardcore mystery hunting tomorrow."
"It's already tomorrow." your brother corrected you as he made his way to his own bed.
"You know what I mean," you retort. "Well, goodnight Dipper."
"Goodnight Mabel."
~~~~~~~~~~
And that's the story of how you and your brother got cornered in a dark cave by some multi-headed bear creature. Sure, there was more to it than that -for example, eating breakfast, putting on new clothes, going into the woods et cetera- but the most important thing to note is the fact that the two of you are now pinned up against rocks as the monstrosity closes in on you with all seven set of teeth growling.

"PLEASE DON'T EAT US!!!" you shout. "We taste terrible! Prepubescents are high in artificial sweeteners! We're practically poisonous!"
Your brother looks at you, questioning if he heard the last words that he would ever hear correctly.
The growling stops and the multi-bear releases a deep sigh. "At least, you finally decided to talk to me," the middle head comments. The mass of bear faces recede back and start to move about the cave.
"Wait, so you could talk the whole time?" Dipper asks.
"Yes." the bear responds with a little bit of annoyance in his voice.
"So, you're not going to eat us?" you ask.
"Let me answer that with a question of my own," the multi-bear replies, "Do you have any intentions of killing me?"
"What? No! Not at all!" you say. Your brother nods in agreement.
"Then it should be I who pleads for your forgiveness," the middle head continues, "It was unchivalrous to attack you without knowing your true purpose for being here but I must confess, poking any beast with a stick until he wakes up seems quite unwise."
You try to laugh off the warm feeling around your face. "Yeah! That was me. Completely unwise. Ha-ha. Sorry."

OOC: Wow! I am so sorry about how long this took me to write. I've been extremely angry with myself about the quality of my work as of late. I hope you enjoy this post even though it's still rather short. I wish to post the next one by tomorrow night to keep the game moving. Have a great rest of your day!
[X] "Sorry about this misunderstanding. If it's not too rude could you maybe tell us where you came from?"
You lock eyes with the middle head of the multi-bear. You try to search through his face for any clues about his past; the same thing that he was clearly doing to you. After a few seconds, the two of you break eye contact and you can conclude several notions to be fact. He is a bear. He has multiple heads. He has the power to kill both you and your brother in an instant but has chosen not to for now; leading you to believe that he's a nice guy. You also believe that the multi-bear picked up more about you in his search than vice versa.
The middle head spoke up. "I am from a long lineage of multi-bears who roam across this land. We leave the family cave to find one of our own when we have learned how to fight with our eight limbs and seven heads. I am one of the few, if not the only mult-bear, in this forest. I have made many enemies since my arrival, mainly due to a disagreement on taste."
The multi-bear fell silent. Even though you still had many more questions to ask, you felt that it would be better to ask them later.
"Thank you for-uh……. sparing us, Multi-Bear," you say.
"Would it be okay if we visit again on better terms?" your brother asks.
The multi-bear looks towards the entrance of the cave, deep in thought. "We can converse again someday soon. I don't plan many things in advance. I do have two pieces of advice for the both of you when coming here: Number one-Don't try to wake me up unless you want to die, and Number two-Don't go in here when I'm engaging in combat unless-Well, you know."
The three of you say your goodbyes to each other and you and Dipper head back to the Shack.
"Grunkle Stan, are you wearing a blindfold?" your brother asks.
The older man in the driver seat laughs. "Nah, but with these cataracts I might as well be. What is that, a woodpecker?"
After a rather reckless trip in the Stanleymobile, the two of you were permitted to see where your great uncle had brought you: Lake Gravity Falls. The surprise is a bit wasted on you, considering you've already went through this once. Looking back, you were just as disinterested about having to spend ten hours listening to your Grunkle's jokes the first time as your brother was now. However, you knew that something was about to catch his eye.
Like before, Old Man McGucket came rushing in, dancing his jig of grave danger and showing his evidence of the Gobblewonker to everybody which promptly got him laughed at by everyone except his son who just shook his head in shame. If they only knew about the great man he once was. If it wasn't for what happened thirty years ago, he might have still been forwarding our scientific knowledge instead of becoming the founder of cult dedicated to keeping Gravity Falls blissfully ignorant and building giant mechanical monsters to wreck things when people would ignore him.
Okay, so the man didn't have a clean record nowadays but you still saw some good in him.
"All right, all right, let's think this through. Ya kids could go waste your time on some epic monster-finding adventure, or you could spend the day learning how to tie knots and skewer worms with your Great Uncle Stan!"
Whoa. Whoa. Wait! What?
You look around and see Soos doing 'The Robot' in the S.S. Cool Dude while Grunkle Stan sniffs his armpit.
"Yo, Mabel. Are you okay?" your brother asks as he waves his hand over your face.
Apparently, your thoughts had gotten away with you and now Dipper was waiting for your answer to go monster hunting with him and split the prize money fifty-fifty! The only problem was that you would have to abandon Grunkle Stan to do so. Oh, and you know that the monster is fake.

The multi-bear looks towards the entrance of the cave, deep in thought. "We can converse again someday soon. I don't plan many things in advance. I do have two pieces of advice for the both of you when coming here: Number one-Don't try to wake me up unless you want to die, and Number two-Don't go in here when I'm engaging in combat unless-Well, you know."
The three of you say your goodbyes to each other and you and Dipper head back to the Shack.
~Day Five~
"Grunkle Stan, are you wearing a blindfold?" your brother asks.
The older man in the driver seat laughs. "Nah, but with these cataracts I might as well be. What is that, a woodpecker?"
After a rather reckless trip in the Stanleymobile, the two of you were permitted to see where your great uncle had brought you: Lake Gravity Falls. The surprise is a bit wasted on you, considering you've already went through this once. Looking back, you were just as disinterested about having to spend ten hours listening to your Grunkle's jokes the first time as your brother was now. However, you knew that something was about to catch his eye.
Like before, Old Man McGucket came rushing in, dancing his jig of grave danger and showing his evidence of the Gobblewonker to everybody which promptly got him laughed at by everyone except his son who just shook his head in shame. If they only knew about the great man he once was. If it wasn't for what happened thirty years ago, he might have still been forwarding our scientific knowledge instead of becoming the founder of cult dedicated to keeping Gravity Falls blissfully ignorant and building giant mechanical monsters to wreck things when people would ignore him.
Okay, so the man didn't have a clean record nowadays but you still saw some good in him.
"All right, all right, let's think this through. Ya kids could go waste your time on some epic monster-finding adventure, or you could spend the day learning how to tie knots and skewer worms with your Great Uncle Stan!"
Whoa. Whoa. Wait! What?
You look around and see Soos doing 'The Robot' in the S.S. Cool Dude while Grunkle Stan sniffs his armpit.
"Yo, Mabel. Are you okay?" your brother asks as he waves his hand over your face.
Apparently, your thoughts had gotten away with you and now Dipper was waiting for your answer to go monster hunting with him and split the prize money fifty-fifty! The only problem was that you would have to abandon Grunkle Stan to do so. Oh, and you know that the monster is fake.

On the one hand, we know the monster hunting is a waste of time. On the other, if we go with dipper and Soos we could maybe prove that faster and get back to Grunkle Stan.
