[It's a little odd to see an audio post coming from this ID; the Pines are usually all about the video evidence. What's even more strange is that Dipper's voice sounds a little... squished?]

Hey uh, we're back! I mean, me and Mabel and the grunkles and Pacifica. Lots of stuff happened and there was a giant robot and some demons, but we're all fine. Me and Mabel got to celebrate our 13th birthday again, so now we're double 13. Or something. Sorry if we worried anyone!

Kind of off topic, but does anyone know how to turn your powers off? Pretty urgent, would really like an answer soon, okay bye.

[The Pines family and Pacifica have returned!]

You're gonna need a little more than just 'sorry', kid.

[ursawhiner]

W-what? We can't really help getting ported out. How long were we gone?

[justanotherlink]

So not apologizing.

[We can introspect forever on Ken's confused emotions upon seeing this post but we'll get that to that eventually. What Dipper gets is a very very quiet response from Ken]

Where are you?

audio;

[ursawhiner]

Ken!

[Dipper doesn't even bother to hide the delight in his voice. He maybe feels kind of bad for forgetting Ken while back in Gravity Falls.]

Uh... That's a complicated question.

What do you mean you celebrated your 13th birthday twice? How's that work?

Ain't even figured out how to turn on my powers. Can't help you there.

audio;

[ursawhiner]

[Normally Dipper would match text for text, but using both his hands is a little awkward.]

We had a 13th birthday here, and then another one back home. And now we're here again and probably going to have another birthday at the end of August. But our 14th?

Didn't they give you a file with your superpowers in it when you arrived?

audio;

[oldstandard]

It's not as hard as you'd think. They just duped people into making them a cake twice.

[Made, stole, same difference.]

audio;

[rassera]

[Oh thank god, Dipper's back.]


Ha, knew it.


[Now where are you so he can throttle you properly for leaving Ken to waste away.]

[ursawhiner]

Dude, why is Bull mad at me? I was fighting demons! He should be totally fine with that!

a picture + text

[glitterateur]

[The video evidence is just a still image, a picture taken from a cellphone of an especially awkward Dipper Pines getting all up close and personal with the Heropa 18 refrigerator. Why is this small boy basically hugging the fridge? Who cares. This picture is both hilarious and mildly embarrassing and Mabel is posting it to the internet immediately.]

if this gets 10 likes in the next hour I'll put magnets on his head and I am taking suggestions for what they should spell!!!!

we've got the WHOLE ALPHABET so don't miss this chance you guys!!

[Pacifica is at the store. Conspiring in this.]

Pony magnets, rainbow magnets, or puppy magnets? They've got tons.

audio

[annihiliner]

[There is a slight hint of both frustration and relief in Lexa's voice.]

One of my powers does not turn off. The other simply takes a moment of concentration.

[A pause.]

...where are you all? At home?

audio;

[ursawhiner]

I'm kind of hoping this isn't like the kitten sneezing.

And yeah, we're home. I'm... in the kitchen? [Why did his voice crack on the last word?]

[helpline]

Bog standard giant robot or a more fun giant robot?

[ #priorities ]

audio;

[ursawhiner]

More fun! We converted the Mystery Shack into this robot that had dual pilots and a T-Rex arm.

[justanotherlink]

Are you still stuck to the fridge Dipper?

[She has gone out to look for magnets lunch.]

audio;

[ursawhiner]

Yes!! I can't figure out how to turn it off!

voice

[lastnerv]

[well there's one phrase there that has interest but he might as well offer advice first]

Have you tried just focusing really hard on your power not being on? That might help.

Or it might be on permanently. [okay advice and pessimism]

audio;

[ursawhiner]

I've definitely tried that. If this is permanently on, we're all in big trouble. ...Maybe not that big. I have no idea how strong this is.

[This sounds so mysterious???]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I bet I super missed it but, happy double birthdays anyways!

I have a very important question: does being double 13 mean you're actually 14? Or maybe you're 26!

[ursawhiner]

It might actually be quadruple birthdays since me and Mabel celebrate ours together? Not really sure how it works.

And I think we're just going to celebrate our 14th birthday in August. Definitely not 26.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

[Jacob sounds actually happy to have the Pines back in his life. Maybe he's just a masochist???]

Welcome back- all of you. And happy second birthday for you and Mabel, I guess.

It's strange. I don't think the Porter has ever moved an entire family home and back before.

audio;

[ursawhiner]

Thanks! Pretty happy to be back, weirdly. But I guess this place feels like home.

Maybe the Porter knew we all needed to go back together? It's kind of alive, right?

oh great you again

Whatever, man! You probably didn't even notice I was gone!

[protects_the_small]

Are you alright? Do you need help?

audio;

[ursawhiner]

Totally fine! Definitely not in any immediate danger! Just... scientifically curious!

[akas]

Holy shit, I thought you were dead on a ditch or something.

audio;

[ursawhiner]

Came pretty close, honestly! But we're fine now. Mostly.

[hardcorduroy]

Dudes, you're back! (and not dead like she always knew!

except wait back up.) Hold up. Thirteen again? And go back to the part about demons and robots, you're from Weirdmageddon, aren't you?

[ursawhiner]

Yeah! All the stuff you talked about makes sense now. We beat Bill and had our 13th birthday party!

audio;

[chancetoatone]

I've only heard of certain devices capable of disabling our powers, though they are used, at times, but the American government.

audio;

[ursawhiner]

They're probably not going to lend us one.

...Also that sounds pretty supervillain-y. Is this just a thing people are okay with?

/walks in late with starbucks

[glitchinthesystem]

Nah, you're still munchkins forever even if you had a second thirteenth.

[ Hi guys, sorry he went missing for a month but hey it's all squared away, right? Right. ]

Also, practice. Practice is what turns powers off.

But, aside from that demons and robots. Getting the sense of epic showdown, right?

[ursawhiner]

Practice is not going to help me right now! Kind of need a more immediate solution!

And yes, the showdown was pretty epic.

[bassriff]

Deets, you dweebs. [Can't quite keep the warmth out of her tone. She missed these losers.]

audio;

[ursawhiner]

There's... kind of a lot of stuff to go over. But basically an interdimensional tear opened between our world and Bill's, so he took over Gravity Falls and turned all the townsfolk to stone. We built a giant robot out of the Mystery Shack and punched our way into his Fearamid and then we tricked him going into Stan's mind and--

[This part is kind of hard to talk about.]

Then we got rid of him. For good.
