RA: damnit
RA: I let them look at this stupid webcomic and now they're talking to you guys
PD: that's what I want to talk about
PD: since everything is in order, I purpose that we use these Memos to talk about our progress and how we think about the game
PD: so far, I'm getting prepared to fight some Imps while Webby is building the Mystery Shack
DS: the Mystery Shack is getting built?
PD: yeah Mabel
PD: Have you looked outside
DS: Wendy boarded up the windows
RA: Wendy's there?
RA: Are you serious?
PD: it's not the Wendy you know, different person with the same name
RA: yeah, you are not pulling the Batman V Superman sh*t
RA: I'm onto you

PD: different universe, different names for the states
PD: in any case, I think we summed up what we're doing
DS: oh wait!
DS: Wendy got me a heck ton of grist
DS: still don't know what I'll do with it
PD: that brings up an interesting point
PD: especially with your situation
PD: maybe there's a different way of using the grist
PD: but until then, let's just resume what we're doing
RA: great, then let's go!
RA: tired of talking to you guys
RA: need to move some sh*t
DS: you do that best friend
GA: you do that best friend
GA: jinxs
DS: JINXS!
PD: closing the memo now
- PinesDecipher [PD] has closed the Memo -
[503]
Dipper:
"I'm sorry, but the fridge levelled up?" Dipper questions this page and what it means
Webby:
"Woohoo! Way the go fridge!" Webby cheered, "soon enough, you'll be as strong as Sofie!"
Cartman:
Cartman chuckled towards the idea of the fridge gaining levels.
Mabel:
"Yay fridge!" Mabel cheered, "really sweet to see objects having their levelling system.
[504 - 505]
Dipper:
"It wouldn't be John if he wasn't doing some silly stuff," Dipper said, getting approaching both Soos and Pacifica,
"Alright, watch for Imps, they'll be all over the house,"
The two nodded as they follow the boy's lead.
Webby:
"I don't know why he would get the shaving cream." Huey said, "spraying them with it wouldn't do anything
Cartman:
Cartman started packing up his computer, unplugging the PC and lifting it, he didn't care for what he's reading, just skipping pages.
Mabel:
"Oh right, the Designix thingy," Mabel said, looking over to see her Designix, "maybe John is going to use it for something…"
[506]
Dipper:
Dipper was surprised to see the imp getting crushed by a safe. Though more surprised when Imps started appearing in the living room.
"Alright, you know what to do…" Dipper said, pressing the next page.
Webby:
"And yet another way to get rid of Imps!" Webby said, looking over at Dipper's page and noticing him and two others are going to fight the imps.
She considered that it's best to leave them on their own devices, he needs to build up his echeladder
Cartman:
Cartman laughed at the dropped safe, just when he climbed downstairs into the living room.
There his friends Stan and Kenny were present, along with four other friends, Clyde, Craig, Tweek and Jimmy.
Mabel:
"That's one way to crack open a safe," Wendy commented while Mabel was over excited to see the imp getting crushed by a safe.
[507 - 508]
Dipper:
"that's what I want to know…" Dipper read the page before going in strife against the imps.
He whacks his book against each one before Pacifica smacks them with the golf club or Soos throws one of his tools at the Imps. Defeating them and technically going up on his echeladder.
By the time he defeated the wave of imps, it's more likely the other two are higher in their echeladder than he was.
He needs to get a stronger book…
Webby:
"Clearly the boy lacks survival instincts," Beakley commented towards John's actions.
Webby was looking at Dipper's page, seeing the three fighting the imps, glad to know that he worked his way around fighting them.
Cartman:
After plugging the computer in, Cartman skipped another two pages.
Clyde stepped in "alright, what's going on?" he asked.
"Just wait for a second and let me set things up," Cartman complained before rushing towards the basement.
Mabel:
"Be careful John, there are Imps behind you!" Mabel states the obvious.
[509]
Dipper:
"And there's that mysterious wasteland guy," Dipper said, looking onto the hyperlink that shows the wasteland person reading a book about humans and their functions.
He was somewhat offended and weirded out that the wastelander was eating the pages.
Webby:
Webby investigated the hyperlink, curious about the book that talks about humans
The group reads it, only to find… typical methods of being polite. Claiming to be human traits.
"And these are supposed to be human etiquettes." Huey said, "looks like very basic things of humanity etiquettes."
"Yeah…" Beakley said, "I don't know about these human creatures, but they do share similar traits as we do."
"it has to be a weird coincidence that these humans share the same word of humanity," Huey continued, "I wouldn't be surprised if we share the same species culture, honestly."
Again, this was somewhat an interesting thought about the new alien, yet familiar species called humans.
Cartman:
Cartman walked down into the basement, not even caring what he was reading. Not even bothered to look at the hyperlink.
Mabel:
"well… knowledge is power and food can give knowledge… I think…" Mabel said, a little weirded out by the wastelander eating the papers on books.
Then again, she ate or drank worse, so she can't complain.
[OS-84]
Years into the future…
But let's not get totally carried away here.
The Haysaul and the old cook arrived at their destination
"Here we are!" he shouted, as the Haysaul stares at the giant structure. How in the world did he miss this?
"All aboard the big white box! Our destination: out of this dump!"
[510]
The following page is information about Sburb and how Rose understand it as she writes the tutorial.
Not much on Dipper, Mabel's side, and Cartman didn't even look at the pages.
But on Webby's side, Huey had an interest within the pages and taken a keen insight and look. Considering a good idea of documenting the gameplay.
This gave him a big idea to write down how SBURB works and make instructions on how to play the game.
Something he can fill in within his guidebook. Anything new he adds in. and SBURB is very new to him.
The most interesting part for everyone else is how there is no way for Rose to look at the room of John's father, clearing up the reason why Webby can't access the second lower floor and considered that Dipper never went in there and for additions, it would mean that any secret rooms that not even Webby had been to, Mabel can't see either.
It was very interesting and once Webby copied and pasted the images into her ever-growing source of information, she clicks on the next page
[511 - 513]
Dipper:
Seeing the next pages of Rose building, Dipper found the concept intriguing, and a possible way for Webby to go over the Mystery Shack sign.
Granted if she hasn't just removed them yet…
Webby:
With the inspiration of the pages and after removing the signs, Webby reused the existing objects to create a platform on top of the shack.
After she's finished, she hopes Dipper can use this to on top of whatever those ring things are.
Cartman:
After carrying the projector up the stairs, he pushed it into the middle of the room.
"nearly there guys, just need to do a couple more things…" Cartman said, skipping another bunch of pages.
Mabel:
"at least ladders are safer than stairs… bro…" Mabel chuckled to herself.
[514 - 518]
Dipper:
"I feel your pain, Rose…" Dipper said, if he had a pillow with him, he would cover his face in frustration.
Instead, he uses this against the imps, enough to damage them and climb more in the echeladder.
Webby:
Everyone blinks towards the following pages.
"Is John an idiot!?" Lenasprite questions.
"You tell us, you're the sprite." Louie pointed out.
"I know most of SBURB" Lena defended, "and only most of Homestuck, I didn't know how… oblivious the Heir is. Hopefully, our heir isn't like this."
Cartman:
"Wow… John is just a dumbass." Cartman commented, getting the last bits of equipment he needed to do what he wanted to do.
"Alright everyone," Cartman gathered everyone in his house, "I'm just going to press onto the next page here…"
Mabel:
"He just spaced out, that's all," Mabel said, not complaining towards John standing still and doing nothing and not paying attention to his surroundings.
[519]
Dipper:
"Next time, be more observant," Dipper said, calming down towards the most irritating thing he had ever seen, not even Mabel would do something that John did.
Webby:
"Again, John doesn't seem to be very aware of his surroundings" Louie commented, "probably the least sharp person if I know one."
Cartman:
"Alright, guys, with everything plugged in, here we go!"
The projector activates, which now shows the screen of the computer, showing the story.
"ta-da…" Cartman said.
The four newcomers looked, a little confused.
"So… this is why you brought us here?" Craig said, "not really… exciting."
"well, here's the kicker." Cartman interrupted. "this comic is going to save our lives."
"I find that hard to believe…" Clyde said, a little unsure along with Craig. Tweek and Jimmy were curious yet suspecting.
"come on man, he is telling the truth." Stan said, trying to defend Cartman, "have you heard about the meteors crashing down?"
"yeah!" Tweek said, "and holy sh*t, they're scary!"
"which is why I made this party so I can bring all my friends and we can survive together."
There was silence in the room.
"Yeah f**k this, I'm out." Craig made his leave until Tweek stop him.
"Well come on, give them a chance." He said, "maybe this webcomic is good."
"I… I agree" Jimmy added.
Craig look at Tweek, he sighed, as his boyfriend, couldn't say no to him.
"Alright fine," he said, "but I'm only going to be here for an hour, after that, I'm leaving."
With that, everyone take a seat and look at the screen that showed Homestuck.
And already they have several questions. Kenny and Stan are willing to fill them in.
Mabel:
"Yeah, a lot of crazy stuff happen while you're zoning," Mabel said. "Like that time I went to a haunted convenience store."
[520]
Dipper:
Going into the Living Room, and in a complete coincidence, Dipper saw the Designix, now curious about what it does.
He pays more attention to the device as he reads the next pages that explain more about the device
Webby:
"Okay, time to figure out what this Designix does…" Webby said, looking at the device in both the story and the game where she can see Dipper looking at the device.
The rest was also curious, as the device shows some features such as a keyboard and a slot that the totem device has.
The only one who wasn't curious was Lena, who already knows what it does.
Cartman:
"I'm guessing that desi… that desi… that desin… n…. n… I'm guessing that design..nix… is what is important in the story." Jimmy pointed out.
"I don't know." Cartman said, "I was skipping a lot due to how boring it is. But it is important somehow."
Mabel:
"Now that you mention it, it would be good to check out that Designix." Mabel got off the resting chair, placing the computer on the chair and walked towards the Designix, curious about what it does and how it would help her.
[521]
Dipper:
"Huh…" Dipper said, seeing the instructions and understood what they mean.
In his curiosity, he first captchalogue the T-Rex skull that Stan uses to put his cans on.
then tries to think about pulling out the captchalogue card, not the item itself, but the card.
After successfully pulling out the card, he clicked onto the next page.
Webby:
"well, those instructions are easy to read." Huey said, analysing the instructions, "we have to first pull the captchalogue card, then turn it around that should show something, maybe a code or a keyword, then type it into the keyboard before placing the card into the slot."
"Seems simple enough," Beakley said.
Webby was curious about this as well.
Remembering that she has an item in her inventory, Webby decided to pull out the card of that item, and since there are no other items, nothing will fall out.
After successfully pulling out the card, she clicked on the next page.
Cartman:
"guess that's how the device works," Kenny said, reading the images before Cartman clicked onto the next page
Mabel:
"Alright," Mabel said, curious about the instruction and the cards.
It also made her wonder about her inventory, if Dipper has inventory, then maybe she has it as well.
She decided to give it a go, but first, she needs to find something to store.
[522]
People quickly skip the page as it was a conversation between Dave and Rose, not related in anything with the Designix that they focus more towards
[523 - 524]
Dipper:
Seeing the page, Dipper quickly looks at his card to see a blurry and crazy, yet readable code on the T-Rex skull card.
Going to the next page, he also looked at the card on his strife deck, noticing the code on the back as well.
Webby:
"Wow." Webby was amazed, "so items have codes behind them, that's very neat." She looked at her card and notice the code for her Dartboard, Dart and Doll.
"Yeah, it makes you wonder what use they have if there are codes on their back."
Lenasprite sighs, with the knowledge she has, and knowing the next few pages, she has to step in.
"Webby, do you mind if I talk to your friend," she asked, "it's really important and I'll tell you about it as well."
"Sure," Webby said, handing her laptop to her best friend.
Cartman:
"Is this important?" Stan asked, curious about the cards.
"I guess so. Hold on…"
Cartman approaches something to captchaloge, something that this story had shown to him
Mabel:
Mabel enters the gift shop since the place has a ton of items that she can use.
Her eyes glance at a certain item, the helmet of the deep-sea diver. That would work.
[525 and OS-85]
Right before Dipper follow what the image showed and insert the Rex Skull card into the Designix, he got a pester notification from Webby
- GrandAdventureGirl [GA] began pestering PinesDecipher [PD] –
PD: What is it Webby?
GA: This is Lena, Webby's best friend and currently her sprite
GA: Before you punch that card, I need you to stop and not use that card
PD: okay…
PD: why?
GA: just trust me with this
GA: as a sprite, it's my job to guide the player through their journey
GA: I'm supposed to only help Webby, but for the sake of you not screwing things up, I decided to give you some help
GA: plus, I would technically help Webby since she will know about this
PD: so, you want me to not punch the cards?
GA: no, first we need to get more cards, by doing so, you have to follow what I say
GA: First, pull out an empty captchaloge card
[OS-85]
Meanwhile, for Mabel and Cartman, they pull out their hand and try to captchalogue their item
And suddenly it works!
Mabel:
"oh, my goodness! I got Inventory!" she cheered, feeling the helmet in her sylladex with fetch modus called 'Array'.
She feels proud of what she did. "okay, back to the Designix."
Cartman:
"The f**k?" Craig curse witnessing Cartman making a potted flower disappear.
"Woah…" Cartman said, feeling the item in his sylladex, the FLOWERS (2+2+1+2+1+2+2 = 12 % 10 = 2) are in his second card slot.
"Oh…" Cartman reacted… getting a little angry, "you got to be kidding me! I got Dave's inventory system, this inventory sucks!"
"Are we not seriously ignoring the fact that Cartman just made a planet disappear are we?" Craig complained about no one answering.
[526 - 527]
Dipper:
Dipper pulls out an empty captchalogue card and placed it in the slot
He looked at the two pages and told Lena that he got the empty card in the slot.
PD: okay it's in there
GA: great, now type 11111111
PD: just a lot of ones or that specific number of 1s
GA: what do you think?
Webby:
Seeing the punch cards getting punched, Webby was a little curious about what her friend was doing.
Still, she trusts her with all her heart, and since she knows a lot from this game, she's probably doing something that would help both of them without causing a lot of trouble.
Cartman:
Seeing the cards getting punched, Cartman suddenly had a bright idea, plus with his phone having the story, he can read while he does what he wants to do.
"Alright guys, keep reading while I captchalogue a lot of sh*t," Cartman said before rushing upstairs.
Mabel:
Seeing the cards getting punched, Mabel exactly did just that on the Deep-Sea Diver helmet, putting the card into the slot and typing the code before it got punched.
Now she has a punched card of the Deep-Sea Diver Helmet.
[528]
Dipper:
After typing the 1s onto the designer, the card got punched and pulling the card out, he saw the card with several holes, seemingly like a pattern.
Reading the page, he realised that he burnt out a card.
PD: Nice Save
PD: but the card is now useless
GA: not exactly, Dipper
GA: go to the totem lathe and put a new cruxite and the punched card.
GA: I'll give you further instructions, you won't regret it
Webby:
Looking at the punched card, Huey and Beakley.
"So… these cards work like old fashion punch cards." Beakley spoke up, "I remember those times using them."
"I still don't understand what you're doing," Huey said towards Lenasprite.
"It will make sense when he made that totem" Lena said, "and when you enter the Medium we can do the same."
"why later? Why not now?" Webby asked.
"Because the Designix is locked for you, it's only unlocked when you reach a certain point, along with several other stuff that is too locked for you and your friend."
Cartman:
The kids see the page of the punched cards and read the text, trying to understand what's going on since the cards are somewhat connected to Cartman's new bizarre ability, it quickly got Clyde, Tweek and Jimmy interested.
But Craig is unconvinced.
Mabel:
"And if I got the wording right, that should do it," Mabel said, finishing typing in the code before pulling out a punched card of the Deep-Sea Diver Helmet.
But after reading the next page, she soon realises her big mistake, especially when she no longer have access to the helmet. Only have this card that doesn't do much.
[529 - 532]
Dipper:
"Not if it doesn't work at all!" Dipper complained arriving in his bedroom with the card and a fresh new cylinder, placing them and having a new yet not impressed totem.
GA: now go to the Alchemiter
Webby:
"Okay, here you go." Lena gives the laptop back to Webby, "just wait until the totem is on the Alchemiter and you'll be surprised.
Nothing much towards the experiment of the two pages, Webby look closely at Dipper's screen.
Cartman:
"Well, who knows what it would create," Jimmy suggested while other people thought that John made a very stupid move.
Mabel:
"OH! I want to do that!" Mabel shouted, putting in an empty card and type in MABELANDWADDLES but the card only allowed a certain number, ending the code becoming MABELAND.
She punched another card and gotten another card, she doesn't care if she burnt another card, she still has plenty before it becomes a problem.
[533 - 536]
Dipper:
"A little exaggerated and dangerous, and all to take out one imp," Dipper said before arriving in the floor room.
Webby:
The group was jumped to see the bathtub thrown into the building.
Webby was the first to speak and laugh, "that takes out the Imp, just wash them away!" she laugh at her joke.
"Still, effective yet dangerous," Huey commented.
Cartman:
"Holy sh*t!" Tweek jumped from the pages. "that jester guy stood no chance!"
"Yeah, it's f**king cool!" Kenny muffled in enjoyment. "I want to see more of that!"
Mabel:
"There goes the tub!" Mabel said, chuckling towards this while looking at her newfound cards, curious about them and what she can do if she can access the cards themselves.
"I wonder…"
[537]
Dipper:
"A little too late to say that," Dipper commented, "Both Dave and Rose."
Webby:
"Don't think you can warn them in time," Dewey said, taking in the excitement of seeing such a stunt.
Cartman:
"Too late jackass" Clyde comments. "also, who cares about puppets? Who's this dude?"
Mabel:
"That's right Dave, they are cool," Mabel said, entering her room with two cruxites.
[538]
Dipper:
Dipper wasn't bothered with the page, as the page itself was self-explained and he can agree that the stairs don't look so good, but needed for John to get upstairs.
With the Totem in place, he waited until suddenly a captchalogue card appeared in the middle of the device.
Dipper was surprised and after equipping the card, he could feel the expansion of his inventory.
He felt good about himself.
Then a stack of captchalogue cards appeared.
Webby:
"I have to agree with John here," Huey said, "the stairs don't look very stable and too narrow for them to be climbable."
"Meaning it's a challenge for him." Webby pointed out before going back to the screen, "you can do it, John, climb those stairs."
"Webby, didn't you forget about Dave's warning?" Dewey mentioned.
"Oh yeah! Don't do them, John, it's a trap!"
Cartman:
There wasn't much to say on this page, but it did clear some information that they didn't know, such as John having to collect the grist so he can build more stuff and better stairs.
Mabel:
Mabel didn't pay attention and skip the page, as she was too busy making two totems, one for the helmet, the other for the mysterious item.
[539]
Dipper:
"Then… go up there," Dipper said, captchaloging a whole bunch of cards and all of them being added to his sylladex.
Maybe this was a little too much, having three slots was annoying, but thinking about it, having forty was a tad too much. Especially when he can only access the first card.
Webby:
"Again, this has some sort of mystery waiting to be revealed." Webby said, "you will go up there John, I know you will."
Cartman:
"is his dad like a weirdo or something?" Stan questions, a little unsure yet curious.
Then again, his dad was much of a weirdo who does a lot of weird sh*t
Mabel:
"I hope there's clown stuff in his room," Mabel said, while she carries the totems into the floor room.
[540 - 541]
Not much to say in the two pages as it was no text and showing Rose setting up the totems to be made.
[542]
Dipper:
"Okay, interesting secrets that were hidden away from John," Dipper said, "kinda like the secret stuff Stan had."
"What did he have?" Pacifica asked, which made Dipper suddenly realise she was present.
"Oh right, you know Stan?"
"Yeah."
"It turns out he wasn't Stan, but rather is Stan, he used Ford's identity while he was away in a different dimension."
"That would explain why there's two of them."
Webby:
"Ooh! Secrets!" Webby was suddenly curious, the same goes with the triplets, Beakley and Lena.
"so his father has some secrets that he kept behind in that safe." Huey said, "wonder what he was hiding from his son…"
Cartman:
"Doesn't seem like interesting stuff." Kenny pointed out. "But still, something to look."
"Yeah," Stan agrees, "might even show more of who his father was."
Mabel:
"Mabel, what are you doing?" Wendy asked, after slaying another imp in the floor room.
"I'm just testing something out to see if it works," Mabel said, placing one of the totems on the still thing on the Alchemiter.
And before they know it, it generates one Deep-Sea Diver helmet.
[543]
Dipper:
"it also looks very big." Dipper comments. "again, I don't see how someone put all that effort to make one big joke book"
"have to agree with you there, Dipper," Pacifica added, "looks like something your sister would read."
Webby:
"Original printing?" Beakley, "you don't see that every day."
"still interesting to know that they got an original copy of a very old joke book," Huey said, curious about the book and towards the mystery that was mentioned.
Cartman:
"Okay, this part doesn't seem interesting," Craig complains, "can we skip this."
"I'm very interested in this cornal… cor.. nall, I am very interested in this… in this… I am very interested in this colonel sas…sacure book."
"Why?"
"But I am a young talent in the arts of practical japery and I too would like to see classic work."
"Yeah, but it's not showing a lot about the book, just him doing what Cartman did." Stain pointed out.
"Fair point." Jimmy realise, "but would love to have a read to that book."
Mabel:
"Woah, that's an old big book." Wendy looked at Mabel's screen when they approach the big sea helmet.
[544]
Dipper:
"that's something how things go." Dipper sighs towards the last line, "sometimes, we don't understand everything, yet there are so much to discover."
There was a pause for a moment, it was calm minus the imps approaching them,
"then again, why is there a book about shaving?"
Webby:
"That book would be interesting," Huey said, "it would show how humans shave, I doubt it would be similar to non-bird shaving."
"Yeah, plus the book doesn't seem interesting to me," Webby said before skipping the page.
Cartman:
"Even when I'm old enough to shave, I still wouldn't read that book." Stan said, "plus we got better ways to shave than what this book suggests, it feels a little outdated."
Mabel:
"Boring man stuff!" Mabel said, not caring for a book about the book, somewhat a little unsettled about grown-up books.
[545]
Dipper:
Seeing the new page, brings in a new light of information for Dipper, seeing the information about meteors but at a different time, it brings a sudden mystery and something that gives a big reason why John's father put them there.
Especially on the date, the same as Dipper's birthday.
"I wonder if there's a connection to it all…" Dipper said, thinking about the last page and mention of what could have happened to Nana before her demise.
This is certainly something to discuss with the others.
Webby:
"This seems important." Huey said, putting away his guidebook and pulling up a notebook, "let me write the information on there,"
"Okay," Webby said, letting the red triplet write it all the text.
"I have somewhat a feeling that the meteors and what happened to John's 'Nana' would be connected in some way," Huey explained.
"I guess it makes sense…" Beakley said, who seems to ponder about something, what it was the kids were uncertain.
Cartman:
"Boring newspaper stuff, next!" Craig said in which everyone in the room agrees.
Mabel:
"More old-timey things, something Dipper would certainly look into," Mabel said, skipping the page.
[546]
Dipper:
"So, his dad made a note, believing one day his song would lift the safe?" Dipper questions the logic behind the dad in the story, "what if he had weak or noodle arms, like mine?"
Webby:
"Well, he didn't lift the safe, but he did figure a way to outsmart it." Louie said, "by having someone else do it for you."
Cartman:
"A little intense, don't you think?" Tweek questions, a little shaking towards the challenge of lifting the safe, currently or in the future, making him a little happy that John didn't have to do it.
"Plus the whole thing wouldn't be worth it," Kenny said, a little disappointed by what's in the safe so far.
Mabel:
"John is a man!" Mabel stated, "now it's my turn!"
She proceeds to push the heavy Deep-dive Sea Helmet off the alchemise. It was heavy.
"Need some help?" Wendy asked.
"Yes please!"
[547]
All of them equally said, "agreed!"
[548 - 550]
Dipper:
Seeing the few pages, Dipper notices the codes for an empty card and a captchalogue card, one that has zeroes, the other having ones.
Now, what Lena was trying to show him make sense, "okay. Glad that we managed to do that." Dipper said, "now we got an endless supply of captchalogue cards."
Webby:
"Hey, it's what you were doing with Dipper," Webby said turning her attention to Lena.
"Yep," Lena chuckled, "I just want to help him out and not lose his stuff."
"Plus, now we know the code," Huey said, "probably add it to the list of codes that has certain times, it will certainly help when we use the Designix and Alchemiter."
Cartman:
"So everything has a card?" Stan was a little confused, "and they have codes? What for?"
"I don't know." Kenny said, "maybe Cartman knows."
"Yeah, best to check on Cartman," Stan said, getting up and going upstairs while the rest stay and look at the next few pages.
Mabel:
With one big push, Webby and Wendy got rid of the helmet off the device.
"Wait a minute." Mabel suddenly realises. "Why didn't you just captchalogue the helmet." She facepalms herself, "I'm so silly!"
"you can do what?" Wendy questions.
"it's alright, it's done." Mabel takes a deep breath, "now for the moment of truth."

Dipper:
"Again, it saved the trouble of me losing the skull." Dipper sigh in relief, "Grunkle Stan would be furious if not for bringing his shack into another dimension.
Webby:
"Yep, that would have happened to Dipper if I didn't warn him." Lena pointed out.
"Good point," Webby said, "really don't want him to throw his hat in disgust."
Cartman:
This was once again something that didn't interest the group who's reading the story, so they skip it.
Mabel:
"Okay, another thing to make," Mabel said, a little relieved that there's a way to make more cards, meaning she doesn't have to worry about using up her remaining eight cards.
But in any case, she placed the second totem onto the Alchemiter, expecting the random item to appear, it might be good, it might be disappointing. But who knows.
She and Wendy watch the device activates, the moment she was waiting for.
The reveal of the mysterious random item that has 'MABELAND' in the code.
[OS-86]
the item is summoned
the two look at what they had summoned, Mabel felt a lot of grist was taken away from her to make this item.
But it wasn't an item. It was…
Adorable!
The two stare at a small chubby yellow salamander, who the first action in existence opened its mouth and blow a bubble.
To Mabel, it was very cute.
"Oh my gosh!"
She proceeds to rush in and hug the newfound Salamander, "this is the best thing that happened!"
"Yeah," Wendy said, finding the little critter cute, yet a little confused about what Mabel did.
"I am going to call you Mabeland" Mabel stated. Hugging the salamander while it continues to blow bubbles.
"Great, another pet," Wendy said, a little weirded out. But happy for the young girl.
"I don't mind, oink." Wadpersprite appeared, "Mabel loves all of us equally."
