Hey there, welcome to. Hell, probably. Iâve heard a lot about Gravity Falls before moving here and Iâm not exactly uh. Ecstatic to find out whatâs in store for me.
Did manage to get a job at a Diner though, so thatâs fun.
You guys can call me Jasper! Or Jazz. Whatever. Any/all pronouns btw, feel free to mix it up.
Send me asks I guess. I get bored at work sometimes if Iâm being honest.
Something⊠Not quite Jasper would stroll up to the lake with a big grin. Hoodie unzipped, yellow shirt and gold triangle earrings. And a familiar three-sided face drawn on the backs of his shoes and said hoodie.
âHeeeeeey, Kana! Come on out and say hi to your old pal!â
Kana emerges from the water, brushing its hair out of its face. It doesn't bother with the whole "eating and being feral schtick," just staring at Jasper and inspecting their new wardrobe changes. It dawns on it that this is Bill.
"Cipher. I would say it's good to see you, but I'd be lying. Why'd you pick that one? Xe gave me pie."
Heâd let out a low chuckle in response. âNow, now. Iâve been eyeing this one for a lot longer than you might think! Let me have fun with my toysâŠâ
âSo!â Bill clapped the bodyâs hands together a bit too hard. âOnto business. Have ya made your choice yet, Moony? I donât have all day night or evening!â
"Business. Right." It sighs, hands on its hips. "I have made my choice. I'm willing to help you, so long as you stay out of my way, and leave those I claim as my followers alone. You knew there was no way I was going to disagree. That's why you asked me so soon, right?"
His smile, despite already being inhumanely wide, seemed to grow bigger.
âAw, you know me so well~.â The dream demon chirped. âOf course, of course. You scratch my back Iâll scratch yours. Iâll make sure that your territory covers a good chunk of a shoreline. Since youâre cooperating so spectacularly.â
Kana resists a smile of its own but fails. A grin is the way its face normally rests anyways, so it's far too easy to give into its glee.
"That sounds wonderful. It would be quite nice to get back to the ocean one of these days... Very well. Are we going to shake on it or is this a word-of-mouth agreement? I assume the former, knowing you."
âDo you even have to ask?â He held out a hand, blue flames beginning to flicker and crackle around it. âI think we both know that without a done deal weâd stab each other in the back first chance we get.â
"Absolutely." Kana takes the skin off its hand and bites its palm, ripping it open. It shakes his hand, sealing the deal its own way with a not-blood-but-worryingly-like-blood turquoise secretion. "It's a deal, Cipher."
His grasp was tight, but it didnât really matter much because the puppeteer let go soon afterwards.
âWell then, letâs go start looking for a portal so I can get out of this gross mortal bodyââ Jasperâs phone buzzed. ââHang on.â
It was a text from Anna, asking if Jasperâd still like to do that Diner Date Hangout.
âOr, you can. I have to keep up appearances with Annie. That kidâs such a thorn in my side, I wouldâve been here a lot sooner if it werenât for that brat.â
"Annie? Isn't that Jasper's girlfriend? She's a fun one. She's terrified to pieces of me, haha!" It giggles. "I'll start looking around for a portal. Who knows, I might even get my own little toy in on the fun!"
Kana walks backwards off the shore and into the water, waving.
Heâd wave back, but walked off rather quickly.
He needs to get ready for a date with dest-Annie, after all.

A shadow moves through the house, signalled only by its leaving with a shattering of glass. Searching indicates nothing else has been altered aside from the theft of ten dollars.
After closer examination, itâs just some fake play money, one side saying, in faint green pen that blended in with the rest of the paper,
Better luck next time, Cellie. -]

When Anna arrives at the statue of Bill, Eda's already there. She's crouched in front it, poking bill in the eye repeatedly with her cane and muttering angrily. She hears Anna's approaching footsteps and looks over her shoulder.
"Oh hey 14, glad ya made it. Googly's around here somewhere, think she said he wanted a moment before they came face ta face with Mr. Pizza or somethin'."
Anna wore a cloth face mask and some cheap plastic goggles. âGot it.â
She brought the nailed bat down from over her shoulders and lean on it like a cane, looking down at the statue.
The batter glared at the accursed thing, almost tempted to break the thing right now. âHear that, Cipher? The game ends here.â
Eda stands, and sneers at the statue as she mirrors Anne's pose.
"It's gonna be fun making you watch us burn your precious book, and then we get to smash you again."
She turns to Anne.
"You wanna take the first swing, or can I?
âUnless Jasper wants to do it, yeah. But after the burning, of course. Speaking of the book,â she held out a hand. âCan I see it real quick?â
"Sure thing, got it right here."
Eda reaches just under her lapel and pulls out The Book, handing it over with a flourish
Anna opens it.
Nothing on the page.
âWhat, nothing to say now that you lost your leg up on us?â
I have a whole body over you, Ash.
Sheâd grumble, closing it. âJust ominous stuff. Nothing final words-y.â
Eda snatches the book back, and peers into the pages, annoyed. "Ugh, why do you and Googly see threatening messages and I just get the party book? 'S half the reason I find it so hard to believe any of this..."
As she stares, her monocle seems to catch the light in an odd way, almost as if it's glowing ever so slightly.
For a second, the true appearance of the book seemed to slip through. Pages made of veiny flesh. It was warm to the touch as there was a faint beating within it. But it went back to a more normal appearance, words appearing to her.
DID I FLESH YOU OFF GUARD? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But Anna didnât see any of that. âIâm honestly surprised that he hasnât messed with you that much yet. Itâs seems me and Jasper are the ones who have to be bothered like this and itâs just⊠Huh.â
Eda immediately locks up, a high-pitched whine emanating from her as The Book slips through limp fingers. After a few moments though, she blinks, and a look of annoyed confusion washed over her.
"Wait, that joke didn't even make sense. WAIT-" She stares at the book in disbelief, and stomps on it.
"'Flesh me off guard', I could come up with so many better jokes..." "Okay, I fully believe you now 14. As soon as Googly comes I'm burning it"
Eda starts rummaging through her coat, somehow pulling out entire pieces of firewood and tossing them into a pile in front of Bill
An exhausted Jasper came into view of the statue, as well as Anna and Eda.
âHey, guys-â He got cut off by Anna dashing over and hugging him tight as she could.
âJASPER! Gnomes, Iâm so so sorry about yelling at you and itâs my fault I was the one to let go and-â
The waiter returned the hug. âIâm sorry too. We can argue semantics later but itâs my fault also.â
Anna let go. âOh, hang on. Got something for ya.â She dug out an extra face mask from her pocket. âFor when we burn it, donât know if anything would happen if we breathed in the fumes.â
Zey took it, beginning to put it on. âThanks, Ann. I appreciate it.â
Both walked back over to Eda.
âHey Eda,â Jasper waved. âHowâve you been?â
"Uhhhhh... Hhhhh. I was okay until the book turned all fleshy for a split second and Mr. Pizza made the worst pun I've ever heard. Upside, I'm fully for the cause now! Um. That book is fricked up bigtime. Can we light it up now?" She holds up a lighter and an old navy-style gas mask.
âHell yeah! LIGHTEMUP, EDA!â Anna laughed.
Meanwhile, Jasper leaned against the statueâs arm, not knowing that one wrong move would spell doom. (Well, âBillâ actually but itâs the same amount of letters.)
"YEAH!" Eda quickly straps on the mask, and grabs a small branch from the pile built around The book to light. The fire from the small torch reflects in both of the gas mask's lenses as she admires it, before tossing it back with the rest of the wood.
"BURN, Mr. Pizza, burn. Bring it in gang, we've won." She holds her arms out for a group hug
A scream rung out from the book as it began to burn, the waitress getting so startled she almost fell. Almost, she managed to grab the hand for support.
The batter didnât notice this, closing her eyes and trying her best to cover her ears.

âHey Eda,â Jasper waved. âHowâve you been?â
Babble the spell that gets it done, babble it on command.
Won't stop until all the blood is drawn,
The King in Yellow demands!
You summon him once, you summon him twice,
You gamble it on the roll of a dice!
La-la-la-la-la, la. La-la-la-la-la, la.
The devil has won, it can't be undone
The book has all but closed on your life!
â Song Lyric Anon
Jokes on you! Iâm gonna be burning that thing!!!
Canât close the book if Iâve already won itâs just a buncha ash!
