[ooc: there's an excellent decoding tool for the impatient (like me)! he'll just be using a simple caesar for most replies... unless you really impress him.]

Madame! Madame!! You seem to have sat on a curtain rod! Or maybe some other big, uncomfortable household item.

You need help finding it?

I didn't say that.

[But the thought had crossed his mind. Mabel, at least, had dealt with Bill before. Knows a fraction of what to expect, what to avoid. But Stan... there's still a lot they haven't talked about. Ford thought he had more time. That maybe he wouldn't have to at all. Especially here.]

But you're right. They will be, if they're not already.

[Six letters under six letters under six letters, before they're all crossed out with the same vehemence. Three notes by the side: Caesar, Atbash, Caesar. An X through those as well.]

We're all at risk, in one way or another.

OH, YOU'RE RIGHT! HAVE TO TAKE THOSE DIFFERENT STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES INTO ACCOUNT WHEN YOU'RE ASSEMBLING A TEAM, DON'T YOU?

YOU SURE IT WASN'T A PREHISTORIC BASKETBALL GAME? MAYBE WITH A PTERANODOG TRAINED TO MAKE THE DUNKS?

My product is whatever you want it to be, buddy! So if I'm not selling it, you must not want anything badly enough.

he had to come in at the last minute to make the winning point because the tyranocatsuarus has tiny arms and can't make the shot

we are totally on to something here

[ursawhiner]

We can't all put plates in our heads. [Well, they could, but major surgery seems a bit much.]

Do you think he'll go after our friends? Me and Mabel know a lot of people.

[The thought of them being in danger simply because they're associated with Dipper...]

[guess who just spent WAY too much time trying to decode that, in just about every way possible, to no avail? it definitely wasn't bill. he certainly didn't try it in every single direction as swiftly as possible before getting extremely frustrated, nope. definitely not.]

FINE, YOU GET A FREE PLAY.
BUT ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST THING I'VE SEEN IN CENTURIES TO STUMP ME FOR LONGER THAN LIKE, TEN SECONDS.
SO WHATEVER.

WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?

[Ford doesn't look away from the wall, still writing. Four letter shift. Five letter shift. Six letter shift. He knows these will be wrong too. Three one letter words, all different. Nothing a simple substitution cipher is going to solve, even layered with something else.

He keeps going anyway.]

It's possible. We don't know what he's planning. How long he's been here. What kind of resources he has. [He crosses out his work again, then after a pause, lets his arm drop back to his side. Finally turns to face Dipper, tucking both hands behind his back.] We can't assume anything right now.

Do they? Do they usually keep talking when they do?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION, BULL.]
