"Wow guys! I feel so internet famous right now!" The Design Nerd scrolls through pages and pages of favs, follows, and reviews from her stories on a borrowed laptop only held up by electrical tape, "82 reviews for Collections?! 12 favs and follows on 618? That's insane!"
"Who are you talking to? Everyone left hours ago. The Shack closed down early today, remember?" Dipper gives her a sideways glance as he motions to the barren museum floor that he's sweeping.
"Well, what else am I supposed to do to keep myself busy? He locked me in here like some sort of animal! I'm not feral, I'm claustrophobic!" She grabs the heavy metal bars of the gremloblin cage, tries to fit through them, and nearly gets stuck. TDN pulls herself back through and slouches in the corner, defeated. Dipper sighs, produces a large gold key from his vest, and unlocks the prison.
"I could have him arrested for this. This is kidnapping and torture." Tiffany mumbles under her breath as she steps out of the cage, "Thanks, Dipper. Wow, it feels weird saying that."
"Wha—why?"
"Well, to be honest, I never thought I'd be talking to my favorite character from Gravity Falls right now. And I sure as heck didn't think I'd be calling anyone Dipper anytime soon."
Dipper gives her a questioning look, backs up a couple steps, and glances at the key held in his hand as if regretting the favor he did her, "Okay, okay. What are you? I mean you've got to be a psychic, a vampire, something that's Gravity Falls weird."
"Everyone seriously insists I'm a vampire and I'm scared to death of blood," She sighs, "Well, I'm none of those things. The introduction Stan gave me…was actually correct. I'm seriously from another dimension. That or I'm dreaming. Probably dreaming."
"Okay…still not helping here."
"Where I'm from, you're just a cartoon living 22-minute adventures in an imaginary town in Oregon. By the way, the Gobblewonker's real. And nice lamby dance," she says as she casually pulls up a chair from in front of the stage, spins it around, and sits on it backwards, resting her long arms on the back panel. She looks back up and Dipper has disappeared, likely through the still-swinging 'employees only' door.
"Yepp. I'll be stuck in there tomorrow night. He thinks I'm insane," she reaches her hand into the box of reviews, "Might as well use the bit of freedom to my advantage and get some answers to these worked out."
What?! Stan took the money?! Well, Here's $50 (Don't tell Stan). Anyways, do you think that Gideon will win or lose in Gideon Rises? Also who do you think wrote the books? And what about Book 1? Who do you think has that?
-TheLPSDragon (Aka Dipper's girlfriend from another dimension!)
"Looks like I made the right choice going through these tonight!" TDN tucks the $50 bill into her right pocket and scrawls a few notes on the back of the paper as she reads them out loud, "Gideon will probably lose, but I thought the same thing when I watched Dreamscaperers… I'm still thinking McGuckett wrote the books. And thanks to his crazy brainwashing CD, I think Robbie may have Book 1. Oh look! A different theory than Stan or McGuckett!"
If you could have any of Mabel's sweaters, which would it be? Do you think Waddles or Gideon is cuter?
-Lil Ol Gravity Falls
"Probably her sunset sweater or the underwater one because of the color schemes. And I think Waddles is definitely cuter because I can't imagine the child psycho—I mean psychic as anything but evil now…it's making writing Lil Ol' Me pretty difficult," Tiffany trails off, "I hope she doesn't kill me for that. I know how much she loves Giddy."
She looks around suspiciously for any signs of the reviewer watching her, then lets out a sigh of relief before unfolding another slip of paper.
Will you go to Old Man McGucket's farm?
-awesomejosh8596
"If by farm you mean local dump with a car chemistry set and chickens, then no," She holds the slip of paper up to the light, "Where on earth do you get these questions? And what's with your fixation on McGuckett?!"
Josh is your brother? Really? Are you guys twins? I have two older brothers, but I'm the only one in the family that writes fanfictions.
-Alisi Thorndyke
Glancing from the previous question about a crazy man's farm, then to Alisi's question she responds, "Yeah awesomejosh8596 is my little brother, but he's the crazier half of us for sure. We creepily have the same face (mine minus patchy facial hair of course) but I'm about four years older than him. He's who introduced me to writing fan fiction after I told him about the site. I figured if he could keep himself entertained, I could too. But these stories aren't my first ones, just my first fanfics."
She pulls up a basic-looking website on the decrepit computer titled 'Roommate Rantage: basically people watching' and copies the URL onto the stub of paper: roommaterantage. wordpress. com. The mostly monochromatic page is filled with short stories, strange spacing, and odd taglines. Clearly it was made a long time ago.
"Here's where I originally started creative writing. I needed somewhere to vent about my roommate freshman year. And now that I have good roomies that don't try to theatre smoke out an entire dormitory on Halloween, it's transformed into stories about moving to Nowhere, Alabama from PA...Okay that should do it for that question."
After the episode Boyz Crazy, do you think there will be an episode where Dipper makes it up to Wendy or do you think the next time she appears in an episode she and Dipper will be on friendly terms and it will be like it never happened like in most cartoons?
-gamelover41592
"There better be some sort of drama to work out. Maybe Robbie trying to seek revenge, Dipper avoiding alone time with Wendy, something. Gravity Falls focuses far too much on character development for it to be never mentioned again," She talks to herself as she scribbles down her planned answers, "Wow, I sound like Gideon, talking to myself. I'm losing it."
Do you think Mabel/Mermando are anything like Ariel/Prince Eric XD?
-Guest
"In the way that it's a couple of kids falling in love way too quick, but one has a tail, yes. In every other way, not so much…"
What two creatures/antagonists from Gravity Falls would you like to see interact? Out of all the items Dipper and Mabel have had in their possession throughout the series, which would you like to have the most? Are there any background characters that you think should appear more often?
-Jace999608
"The gnomes and Gideon should team up to destroy Dipper and then realize they both want the same thing: Mabel. I definitely want the President's key so I can escape that cage tomorrow," She glances over to the iron bars and shudders, "And I love the Dipper and Mabel lookalikes. They're so freakishly perfect and adora—"
Out of nowhere, a small silver ball rolls into the middle of the floor and catches her eye. Without warning, a plume of quickly-spreading jade smoke billows out of it and covers the museum area.
"This is just…like…thatfailedHalloweenparty…." TDN manages to mumble before falling backwards onto the splintery stage, paper still in hand, as she falls into a deep sleep.
