Noted. I hate Row, Row Your Boat?

[ JUST. OFFERS THAT, HELPFULLY. ]

I knew it had to be scientific. [ muttered. take that, dipper pines, the paranormal is still maybe fake!! ] In theory, that should mean there's a way home, if we learn this HP Formula and how it applies to practical use.

Hmm. Do we have any idea what date it is now? Though, I guess it only matters if we knew the year then and now. The town seems abandoned now. They hadn't had a chance to demolish the burnt buildings, so it might have been June or July when... something happened, I would think, since towns don't just suddenly become abandoned. So, did they have a chance to build the radio tower is the question.

[ with their luck, nah, ]

I will endeavor never to sing it in your presence.

[ YOU DO YOU, VI. ]

I don't know the date right now, nah. But...this means we have a week for me to decide where I wanna break in next. I mean, until Monday. Or Sunday? One of the days. But uh...there are a lot of locked doors, so I'm not sure what to do. I...might pick the Unmarked on in the Motel...? I'm not sure. I'm not gonna redux Storage since I've been there, and I don't want to bother breakin' into the burnt buildings, because I think those might not need me to get in...

And I will never attempt puppetry in front of yours.

[ they're both weirdoes. ]

There are a lot. At least this one yielded something useful, maybe the others will too... and hopefully no more mousetraps. The unmarked one would be a good idea, maybe, since we have no idea what it even is. I don't know if there's really a bad door you could choose, either way we'll learn something. Hopefully. The Gas Station market one has a blue light you can see under it, but it's up to you. [ there's no wrong answer and she trusts dave. ] I've been wondering about the burnt buildings. I could see if I could break into one so we can find out for sure if they need a key or not, though I'm not sure if it would require just brute strength or ingenuity.

[ can she use ingenuity to create brute strength tho. ]

We can try to break into one together next week, maybe.

[ SINCE THE MODS SAID TO WAIT TILL WEEK 2 TO BRING IT UP, I ASKED, BUT MOVING ON ]

There might be a bad door if there's...somethin' behind it. There was, uh, a tentacle that tripped me up and a...maybe ghost? I'm not sure. There was somethin' in the room, although it didn't...attack me, exactly, 'till the mousetraps. I might open a door with somethin' less friendly behind it. Or someone less friendly. But I'll tell you every time when I'm gonna go and which door I'm gonna do. So at least if something happens...

[ violet will know what occurred. to the best degree she can. ]

Okay, sounds good.

[ OK THAT SAVES ME A PM I WAS GOING TO MAKE, ]

A... [ opens mouth. DAVE WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAD WITH THIS. ] A tentacle and... a maybe ghost? [ does she have to apologize to dipper pines about ghosts being real. ] That's. That's not good. I'd ask if it's worth risking, but... I'm not sure what else we can do. Please be careful?

[ she would feel awful if dave was like "goin' to a room later" and then wound up dead or hurt worse than two fingers, with her only knowing what room he went to. ]

Yeah it...moved the mannequins around, and touched me. Smelled like lavender. But I will be. Careful, I mean. I think it's definitely best if I keep doin' it alone, though, just in case...

[ in case he dies or something? lmao ]

The mayor's office or the archives may not be bad options either. Most documents seem to be in gibberish that we can get to, but the newspapers weren't, so...

Ugh, that sounds creepy. [ like yikes?? yikes. ] Are you sure? Do the doors stay open when you unlock them? Maybe we could find some rope to tie around your waist, that way if something happens, you could yell and I could pull you out...

[ that. is a dumb plan SHE'S JUST WORRIED... ]

So there might be more things not in gibberish that we could learn from in those rooms.

Others might, but that door shut behind me, and it's locked again now.

[ BUT. THAT...ISN'T...THE WORST PLAN? like it's not a great one, but. ]

Yeah, there might be. I discounted them originally 'cause of the gibberish, but if there's a chance some of the documents aren't obscured...

[ it could be worth using his key on one of them. ]

Hmm. If we put something in the way to keep the door from closing-- well, no, that might upset whatever caused the mousetraps in that one.

[ or something worse than mousetraps. :| ]

I'd think since the newspapers weren't, and they seemed to have some new information we couldn't find before, anything else behind a locked door wouldn't be in gibberish either. [ biting her lip. ] I almost wonder if we need some kind of... notebook to keep track. In code, obviously. So we don't forget anything.

[ klaus probably would have done that first thing but violet isn't a note-taking reader, she just builds things. ]

If you want to wait like...outside a door for a set amount of time to see if I come out, we can. Do that? But it might be dangerous.

[ he doesn't want to upset the ghosts either lmfao... ]

Do you know any codes? I can probably remember this shit easily enough, just like. Rap it out. It might be safer not to keep track of it in print, almost, because...

[ ... ]

Well, no guarantee people wouldn't find a coded notebook or be able to break it, y'know?

I'd like that, but if you think it'd put you in more danger...

[ then she doesn't like that ]

We could make one, I would think. [ pause ] Rap it out?

That's true. I'd hate to say I don't trust most of the people here, but, well. I don't trust most of the people here.

You know, rhyme it, like...music?

[ VI HE HAS TO TAKE YOU TO THE JUKEBOX SOMETIME but anyway. ]

Me either. But if we get a small group we can trust, we'll be set...for a while.

You're a musician?

[ WEEK TWO MONDAY, VI AND DAVE HANG OUT AT THE JUKEBOX ]

That sounds like a plan.

Yeah. You know, we should hang at the jukebox sometime.

[ IT'S A PLAN. also ig dave decided on the "small group" he wanted rip guys NO ONE BE MAFIA, OKAY, ]

Okay, we can make it a date. [ pAUSE ] I mean, we can pencil it in. Like, in a schedule. On a day. A date. Of the week.

[ god if any of their scooby gang is mafia they all dead they gonna die bye ]

[ oh my god vi he just kind of does a double-take when he glances over because dave strider is not actually Smooth even if he pretends to be on the internet. do u want to fluster him. ]

Uh. Yeah! That'd be cool? Like a scheduled day. On a date of the week. Right. Maybe...next week sometime?

[ she wouldn't mind flustering him but isn't aiming for it?? she is not smooth either. ]

Sure! Like Monday. Or Tuesday, if you're busy Monday? Or Wednesday, if not Monday or Tuesday.

[ stop this he is an innocent 14yo boy ]

Uh. Monday afternoon may work? Or Tuesday, I'm not sure, I know one of the early days of the week I will, you know, do the thing. But like. Before or after that??

[ she's an innocent 14yo girl save them both ]

Right! And well, we'll need to talk after you do the thing, anyway, probably? Though maybe not by the jukebox. But that sounds good?

[ @ megan stop this attack ]

It does! Yeah. That sounds good? I mean, we'll have more information for me to give you by then, so.

[ this is a great team, since dave basically just. grabs info, and uses vi's role for cover.

save them. ]

[ I will do no such thing ]

Okay, great! It's a da-- plan. It's a plan.

[ vi feels she is the weak part of this team but if dave ever needs a trap rigged she can help there at least?? or something else built.

they cannot be saved. ]

Right. A plan. [ god he can never use the word date at vi ever again ever she just made it AWKWARD.

HE HOLDS OUT A FIST FOR A BUMP MAYBE ALWAYS CAN SAVE THEM. ]

[ she didn't mean to?? it just sort of happened??

she fistbumps him, let always save them as they go find murder tomorrow.

except-- ] Be careful about your broken fingers. [ when. fistbumping. ]

[ OH RIGHT...yeah he is an idiot. at least use your right hand, moron. ]

Oh, shit. Well, uh, it didn't hurt, but. I'll keep it in mind?

Please do. I don't want you getting more hurt than you have already?

[ and then dave did not keep it in mind, gestures at the trial, and vi forgot to scold him gdi ]

I promise I will. Later, Vi.

[ PROBABLY IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS APPALLED BY ALL THE BLATANT LYING AND CASUAL DISCUSSION OF CONVICTS ]
