[That does seem to settle him down somewhat. The only other thing he manages to say is directed at Oscar. He caught that he had the journal- clearly they found Mabel after all, so-]

June... July? July.

[He's pretty sure the first snake incident was then. God, that was so long ago actually, hng. He was still pretty new to the Grove and had walked in on the chaos of an entire household getting taken down. A household of people that had been very kind to him.]

[Oscar will find the gun to be awfully weighty, but not in an unfamiliar way. Huntsman weapons sure have a lot of inner working parts after all.]

[Anyway, Oscar will find the journal pretty interesting! He's been writing it for some time it seems like, starting with late May. It looks like the actual days of the month are a little ??? approximate, but he explains in an early entry that the nature of the Faewoods make time difficult to track down. How old is he? He isn't totally sure, since it was August last he recalled before waking up here and now its summer again. He'll call himself sixteen at the next birthday and go from there.]

[If Oscar does not skim past the introduction he will be treated to:

Dipper Pines here.

This is volume three of my journals, and once again I've woken up in some weird new dimension. I really hope it doesn't happen again when I inevitably fill this one up. It's starting to feel like some kind of curse. Anyway, let's get the intro out of the way.

My name is Dipper, I know I already said that, but I tried to rewrite this part like three times so I'm keeping it. I'm originally from a place called Earth, California, specifically, but when I turned thirteen I got dragged across the multiverse to a place called Deerington. It was the nightmare of a girl named Sodder, who had CRAZY eldritch reality warping powers. We were trapped there, but she really didn't have any control over it. It's actually pretty sad what happened. Anyway, I was there for a while before the nightmare started to break down and fall apart. We ...being that our existence in this dream was dodgy to start with, weren't really sure what was going to happen to us when this happened. Would we fade away? Die? Would we wake up in bed and not remember anything? It was all a mystery.

Then a door opened, and we knew. We needed to go through. We didn't know what would happen on the other side, but that was the way forward. My family- My two great-uncles and my twin sister- we all went through together. "Where ever you go, we go together". That's a Pines saying.

We woke up in a city called Trench. By wake up I mean we crawled out of the ocean as squids and spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how limbs worked again. If you want my take? 0/10 would not recommend being that hyperaware of your own bones or lack thereof. But! It looks like going through the door brought us somewhere new! Somewhere we could live in relative (??) peace? Trench was not exactly luxurious and had plenty of problems (like blood pollution. Monsters. An environment so inhospitable that you can't grow COFFEE.) but it was home.

But then we were called back to the ocean and now I'm here. Alone. I hope everyone's doing okay, and we can figure out how to deal with the Forest so I can go back home. I miss my family. I miss my friends? I miss Oscar. My nail polish is starting to chip ...I need to find another shade of orange. I hope Heimr has something.

That's all for now. I'll update once I've had the chance to get a feel for this place. The people here are way interesting.


[It's signed with a pine tree, matching the one on the cover and also the charm hanging off his gun. Flipping to July will show Oscar the incident of a snake infiltrating the house of someone called "Pure Vanilla" and he explains in detail how it attacked a bunch of people in the house. Dipper explains the Forest was purposefully trying to hurt "PV" by hurting his people and so he is going to spend some time at their house helping to take care of them.]

[Lavender tea seems to be the only thing that helps. That and PV put some crushed up powder from a moonstone. Is there a connection with the Moon? That moonstone was specifically from Earthbread so supplies are likely limited... At least the Lavender for sure helped.]

[Well Oscar. Want to keep looking?]
