"C'mon, c'mon! Wake up!" TDN tries waking Mabel, causing her spy fedora to fall next to her.
Just when she is about to give up, she notices a sparkle of blue in the corner of her eye. It then spreads a faint glow throughout the dim costume room, bringing a smile to the author's face. Stepping away from the Pines twins for just a moment, she detaches a small note tied onto the necklace that was apparently hastily kicked under the door.
Got this from Dipper before…ya know. I could tell you it overpowers orange, but I'm not 100% sure. Hope it helps! -Mysterious Guest
After clasping the crystalline square gem around her neck, she feels its power rush through her. She stops for a moment in admiration of its eerie light, glowing the same unusual color as her eyes. Hearing a thud from the other side of the glorified hallway that is Gideon's dressing room, she drops the stone attached to the delicate silver chain back onto her chest and walks toward the source.
"More Nutella?" Tiffany whispers to herself and turns the container around in her hands until a message appears, written in permanent marker.
Do you have escape plans? From: Rama Amourah.
Glancing between the chocolate spread and the necklace, she shuffles back toward the twins, pops the lid off the most glorious jarred spread ever invented, and holds it near their faces.
Mabel immediately shoots up and makes the author tumble backwards in shock, "Nutella! MABEL SMELLS NUTELLA!"
Mabel materializes a spoon out of her trenchcoat pocket and jabs it toward the jar. After a moment of hesitation, the Design Nerd holds it out to her, painfully looking away as it's removed from her grasp.
Dipper groggily rubs his eyes and sits upright, "I never get any Nutella. Mabel always inhales the whole jar."
"Fine. Here," The author hands him her scoop of Nutella she managed to save from Mabel's grasp. He takes it, tries a little, and immediately eyes the whole jar Mabel is hoarding. Their eyes lock and narrow and before anyone knows what's happening, the glass jar ends up shattered on the wall. A few steps can be heard outside and the doorknob begins to shake.
"You two! Uhh—play dead!"
"We're not dogs…"
"Shh! Just act unconscious, okay?!" The oldest of the three snaps, her eyes glowing ominously with a pale turquoise power. The twins inhale sharply and lean up against the wall again, just in time for the door to fly open.
"Time to go, Tiffany." The perfectly coiffed nine-year-old drags her name out with contempt and feels his tie's gem threateningly. She glances toward the twins with worry and exits, immediately being lead to the familiar comfort of the stage. The stage where everyone watches Gideon's every move. The stage where she answers the multitude of questions set up for her, strangely, by a bunch of strangers in a strange world. She reaches her hand into the bowl like clockwork and reads the first question.
Hey Design Nerd. If it's not too personal, how old are you? Only because you write AMAZING fics!
- The Word Nerd 424
She blushes a little and waves away the compliment, "Heh heh, thanks, Word Nerd. Well uhh I'm twenty-one, a good bit older than most people on here, except Alisi. I feel like the Gravity Falls fanfiction section mother sometimes. It's nice. Livin' the dream."
Tiffany grabs another paper from the collection inside the glass.
Hmmm, what would you say are your favourite episode(s)? Do you have any least favourite(s)?
- Lil Ol Gravity Falls
The author counts on her fingers, "Well Dreamscaperers, Gideon Rises, The Hand That Rocks the Mabel, and Fight Fighters are my favorites. I don't care all that much for Double Dipper, except for Paper Jam Dippy."
"Paper Jam…Dippy?" Gideon gives her a questioning glare.
"Yes." She replies bluntly, then retrieves another question.
So when are you scheduled to update Lil Ol' Me? I love that story.
-Alisi Thorndyke
"Lil Ol' Me should be updated soon. I have this problem of not being able to write for a little while, then it's like AHH I have to update them all within three days for no discernible reason! I dunno. It's a spur of the moment, ADD, artist thing. It's the same with paintings and such."
What has been the most entertaining story for you to write? If you could voice a character on Gravity Falls, what would that character be like? Who do you think the most mysterious person in Gravity Falls might be?
-Weapons and Chocolate Girl
"I actually love writing 618 the most right now. With all the mystery, suspense, lame jokes, and foreshadowing, it's right up my alley." She looks dramatically into the distance, "Even though I had to delete my Bobby Renzobbi CatStache infomercial. It was beautiful."
"How could an infomercial be beauti-"
The kid is hastily interrupted by a finger on his lips, "Shh, let me have this."
Here is my own theory: I think Old Man McGucket wrote the books and went crazy because he is the oldest person in Gravity Falls and he always has those bandages on his feet and hands because he cut off his sixth fingers. Do you think there is any truth to this or do you think I'm off my rocker?
-Guest
She stares down at the surprisingly well-thought-out card on disbelief for a few seconds that seem to drag on forever, when a crazed voice shouts from the back of the tent.
"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! THE TWINS AND TIFFANY ARE TRAPPED! EVERYONE, ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT LIL GIDEON GETS ANNOYED AS HECK AND RELEASES THEM!" The entire tent stares condescendingly at the old man covered in randomly placed bandages in unison. Except Tiffany, who smiles warmly at the seemingly insane 'local kook.'
"It's always the crazy people who have accomplished the most. There has to be a reason for their insanity, right?" She glances back to the paper, "If you knew that many secrets and no one believed a word you said, you would eventually start to look crazy. So yeah, I think there's some truth to your theory."
With Gideon off in jail (for now) who do you think is Dipper's most dangerous enemy? And yes, like Rumble, I am counting the villains that so far have only appeared in one episode.
-gamelover41592
"In…jail?" Lil Gideon pokes his cheek, "Why would wittle ol me go to jail?"
"It's…an alternate universe thing, Giddy. Let's hope it doesn't happen here, too," She crosses her fingers behind her back, "I'd have to say Robbie V. He's clearly heartbroken and that could only lead to three things: anger, denial, and revenge."
Have you met a Faller in real life? How would you react to meeting a Faller in real life?
-Sam Pines Morgendorf (Twitter: ClicheUsername1)
"Well, I met two people at a con once who recognized my journal I made on DeviantArt. They're planning to go as Dipper and Mabel next year, but we didn't get to talk much, which was sad. Being so much older than the majority of Fallers leaves me in an awkward place," She responds.
"Plus, I don't really wear my fandom on my sleeve. Not until I get some T-shirts anyways," Tiffany laughs a little, "If I ever met a Faller in real life though, I'd probably geek out over it and scare them away. That or become instant best friends with them. Either is pretty likely."
Aye girl, you ready for Uncle Egglex Day? Don't worry. You won't be getting broken glass dumped onto your bed. You're on my good list.
-Egglex Hirsch (Twitter: HirschImagines)
"Well, that's a relief! I don't have to sleep with one eye open anymore. And yeah, Uncle Egglex. I'm looking forward to hearing your beautiful voice on the air."
All noises cease within the pale blue tent as everyone cocks an eyebrow simultaneously, even Gideon.
She puts her hand up in defense, "I've spent too much time on Twitter, okay?"
The psycho psychic notices the bowl is empty and announces that The Design Nerd will be back soon, barring any unusual circumstances. The thought of the many unusual circumstances the kid could put her through makes her shoulders droop as she's lead back to her prison, the costume room. That is, until she remembers her new powers. Things could get a lot more interesting around here.
