Introduction

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up in a bed.

A rather comfy bed, but as you open your eyes, you realize that this room is not one you’ve ever been in before. And even the most villainous of you should notice that something is immediately very off by how morbid your room looks. While generally clean, it looked dark and like it was a part of a very old house.

And that “Rest in Peace” throw pillow really isn’t doing the room any favors.

Meanwhile, on the dresser on top of your new notebook, there is also a message:]

When the clock strikes 13 o’clock. You must all meet in the stretching room for a special announcement.

[Well, it would be rude to refuse an invitation, right?

As soon as you leave your room, you notice a stark difference between the bedroom and the rest of the building. It looked like it hadn’t been kept up in ages, and it shows with how everything is caked in dust or covered in cobwebs. But judging by the other bedroom doors, possibly with other people peering out at the same time you, at least you’re not alone in this strange situation.

As you explore the rest of the first floor of the mansion, you’ll come to realize that, besides the bedrooms, the whole place is rather decrepit and dimly lit. While all rooms may provide a great interest in you, the the bios of all your foolish mortals might be useful to you, especially if you enjoy finding out how much your new captor has learned about you.]

[ OH PRAISE, ANOTHER TEEN, Karolina walks over and sits on a chair nearby because why not. ]

No luck, huh?

[kindaruledatit]

[Hooray! Another teen! Now she can truly hang out and hate on society for their problems.]

Nope. It's kind of becoming a pain.

[she sighs, flipping her phone shut and staring up at the ceiling.]

Guess calling out for someone is gonna be harder then that.

[tangerinetrees]

That'd be a little too easy, I guess.

[ She sighs too. ]

Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will call the Avengers?

[kindaruledatit]

Avengers? Uh, isn't avenging what you do after something terrible happens?

[tangerinetrees]

Yes? I mean, that's just their name.

[ ... ]

You don't... know who the Avengers are?

[kindaruledatit]

[blink blink]

Ssssshould I? Are they, like, a band or something?

[tangerinetrees]

I... they're the most famous group of superheroes in the world, they have one of those MMO things and everything? They're on the news all the time.

[kindaruledatit]

Oh. Wait, really? Superheroes?

[Wendy sits up, looking down at the cellphone in her hands.]

Man, how much did I miss when the world was ending?

[tangerinetrees]

Yeah? They've been around for a while. Wait, the world ending? And they weren't there?

[kindaruledatit]

Oh, yeah dude. Out in Gravity Falls, this big, evil triangle demon was trying to break out of the town and take over the world.

[...Wait.] Oh, but "nevermind all that".

[she waves her arm limply at Karolina.]

....But yeah, it was just us. Kinda trapped, you know? For like, three days.

[tangerinetrees]

Huh. Well, I definitely didn't hear anything about it. How'd you guys get out?

[kindaruledatit]

We, uh... [Okay, what did happen? She has to think about it, because there were many parts she wasn't actually there for, in body or mind.]

Well, there was this huge attack with this giant mecha we made out of a shack. [no biggie.] and we got out by defeating the huge triangle demon that was trying to break out into our dimension.

[....]

"Nevermind all that".

[tangerinetrees]

I mean... that doesn't seem that weird. Except for the shack mech, maybe. But I mean... what do I know, I guess, I'm an alien.

[kindaruledatit]

Everything about it was majorly weird. [hence the name.] But it was also pretty cool too, way funner then getting ready for high school to start.

[...She blinks.]

Wait, what? C'mon, you don't look like an alien.

1/2

[tangerinetrees]

Well sure, I have my bracelet on. Hang on...

[ She moves to take it off, and... ]

2/2

[tangerinetrees]

[ ... and suddenly she is the polar opposite of this building's #aesthetic! ]

Ta-da.

[kindaruledatit]

[OKAY YOU COULD JUST DO THAT THEN.

Wendy shoots up, the revelation that she was talking to a non-human not hurting nearly as much as it did the last time.]

Dude! That's...

[This face]

Awesome.

[tangerinetrees]

[ OH NO A CUTE GIRL BEING IMPRESSED BY HER??? I mean uh. Yeah no, she's just kind of shocked. You can't tell, because she's twenty colors, but she's blushing a little too. ]

That's... a refreshing reaction, actually.

[kindaruledatit]

[Not like Wendy can notice it, what with the technicolor rainbow Karolina's being right now. But shouldn't that be enough in the first place?]

Heck yeah! I've seen a bunch of really weird things back home, it's not like I'm gonna be freaked out or anything.

[er] I mean, turning a bunch of colors isn't the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

[tangerinetrees]

You and me both. One of my friends has a giant pet raptor from the future that her parents got for her.

[ She will, however, put the bracelet back on after a moment. ]

I'd rather stick human-looking where I can here, though. But thanks for not freaking out.

[kindaruledatit]

What. [why can't life be that good for her?] Dude, your friends sound awesome. My friends don't have a giant pet raptor.

[Although apparently there are Dinosaurs under Gravity Falls. Hmm.]

No problem. It's... really not that big a deal to me. [A little smile.] But hey, if it helps.

[tangerinetrees]

I mean... we did also have to live in a cave for months, but I guess parts of everything that happened were pretty cool.

[ A little smile back! ] It really does.

[kindaruledatit]

...Oh. Wow, your life sounds intense.

[But regardless! She smirks.] But, hey! What could go wrong here?

[tangerinetrees]

Yeah, intense is a good word. But things have cooled down some now.

Nothing at all, of course. [ TEEN SARCASM! ]

[kindaruledatit]

Yeah, why worry? Not like we haven't been kidnapped and put in a terrible haunted house with even worse reception.

[Wendy flips her phone open once more, waving it uselessly in the air. With a small, frustrated grunt, she shut it again.]

Dang.
