Afterparty? Catherding?? .........Afterherding?????

[As soon as they're let out of the trial area, Mike makes a beeline for lounge and kitchen. Why, becomes apparent, because soon after, the room furniture in the lounge is arranged in a circle, with a seat for the all the remaining guests.

There's also a pot of coffee and soda cuz it's been a long fucking day. Maybe there are cheezits too, I don't know, a seventeen year old boy put this together. There are pizza rolls probably.

IN ANY CASE, hope you had enough time to flop and mope because Mike's knocking on every door and telling folks to meet in the lounge--if they aren't in their rooms, he'll slip a note under their doors. Once gathered, he skips straight to the point.]

I know it's been...a rough couple days for all of us, but we can't rest just yet. Especially not after that.

Before anything else can happen, we need a plan. How do we get to our friends, and how do we get them back?

And has anyone gotten any more weird notes lately?

[Wendy wasn't feeling up to just doing nothing, and restlessness was a fortunate thing in this place, especially now.

She slid over the back of one of the couches, coming to rest in a slouched position. She barely eyed the food, though that didn't mean others won't catch her nibbled during the conversations.]

Okay, speaking of our friends, I know this is a longshot, but... has anyone found a way to talk to our friends yet? Like, anything at all?

[chainbroke]

I haven't even tried anything.

[ She frowns. ]

I wonder how we'd even start to try... Notes, maybe?

[aboyandhiscar]

--you mean like, leave notes out and see if they respond?

[chainbroke]

Something like that, yes. It's just... it's risky, isn't it? We could get tricked, maybe.

[aboyandhiscar]

Yeah, we could, but--so long as we discuss anything that comes up, we can avoid traps.

[kindaruledatit]

I think if we're gonna try anything about that, the seance room is the right place to do it. [Yes, she is aware of the dangers.]

Notes, maybe an ouija board? Oh, maybe we can even try spirit channeling.

[chainbroke]

Oh, you're right! I don't think it should be tonight, but... this week should be a good time, shouldn't it?

[kindaruledatit]

Totally. Maybe if we can gather enough people, we can actually get some kind of response. [She shrugs, shoving a cheezit in her mouth.] Or, we might end up summoning a demon, but if we do this correctly, we might be able to find our friends.

[She tosses a look across the circle, towards two certain men.]

And I'm preeetty sure Ford knows a thing or two about this stuff.

[outsidethecircle]

I tried the seance room before but nothing happened. Then again, it was just--[Tip and me. Then Lea.] Two or three of us.

I don't even know if the person I wanted to contact was there, anyway, but maybe the others will respond.

[kindaruledatit]

Two or three, huh? [She'll make a note of that.] Alright, well if we try it again with more then that, we might just get something.

Hmm? Who were you trying to contact?

[outsidethecircle]

Um...my grandmother.

[Look, she's twelve.]

[kindaruledatit]

[...Oh. you poor child.]

Oof... sorry. Yeah, I know what it's like to miss family like that. Especially here, it's not fun.

Maybe, it's just the other ghosts interfering with it.

[outsidethecircle]

I never really talked with her before. I just thought I could give it a try.

[...thank you, equally traumatized teenager.]

I hope so. Maybe I can try again later.

[kindaruledatit]

Yeah, if not here, then there's totally some places back in Gravity falls you can try a seance.

[And there's a 25% greater chance that shit won't go wrong if you do!]

Don't worry about it, dude. But right now, let's try and contact the others.

[outsidethecircle]

...I'll just have to do one there.

[Think... positive.]

Then we can yell at them. [Because most of them are idiots.] After we help them, I mean. [She quickly adds.]

[kindaruledatit]

We can totally do both. [She's absolutely going to give one or two of them a piece of her mind, Anna. You're not alone.]

Once we get to rescuing them. Absolutely!

[outsidethecircle]

We'll see if they can help us do that then we yell at them.

[Good. Some (she's not naming names) really deserve it.]
