[Taped to the fridge of the Pines house, October 3rd]

[Dipper comes down out of the blue one night. It's after Dinner and everything is nice and quiet. A lots ...happened this month and he kind of wants to check in? With his uncle? But also he has some important business, too.]

[All of it is innocuous! Nothing to do with addressing grief and horror!]

Grunkle Ford?

[It's been some time since the loud commotion out in the hall. There's no more yelling, no more gun shots. Everyone is gone.

However, Stan doesn't return to the scene of the crime. Instead, a puff of smoke slips in through the open window and forms into Pollux right on top of what Ford is trying to decipher. Of the family Omens she's the least likely to make personal calls like this, but she's here now, squawking at Ford like an alarm with her wings outstretched to be big and scary.

If Ford tries to ignore her, she will fly up and peck at his metal plate. This is important!!!]

[ Fern has been looking for the guy whose name he probably heard but doesn't remember since his talk with PV. Well, looking might be putting it a little strongly, but he's glad when he spots the man on a walk in the forest. ]

Oh, hey, uh... [ ...yeah, nope, does not remember his name. ] Hi.

[Stan hadn't planned on being gone all that long. He was just running some errands, picking up stuff he'd been meaning to get. Something that hasn't happened in a long while happened on his way back though, and he still feels a little off from it. It's tough to describe, and he doesn't really want to describe it, but...there's at least one person in the house who should know.

After dropping off everything in the kitchen (even Bona Lisa, sorry girl), Stan gets to the top of the basement stairs and hesitates. There's a lot of things Stan would rather keep to himself, even if he's supposed to be talking to the family more, but this one...the more he sits with it the more unsettling it feels. Like forcing a puzzle piece that doesn't fit right.

Finally he steels himself, knocks on the door frame, and calls out.]

Ford? You down there? I, uh.

[Last chance to chicken out. He pauses, and takes a breath.]

......I had a memory thing happen.
