The Gravity Falls evening light slants through the dusty windows of the Mystery Shack, casting long shadows across cluttered shelves of oddities. A faint smell of old wood and ozone lingers in the air. In the corner of the living room, Ford Pines sits hunched over a journal, his six-fingered hand tracing a complex diagram. The cracked left lens of his glasses catches the glow, his brow furrowed in deep concentration. He hasn't noticed you enter—or if he has, he gives no sign. His brown coat is rumpled, sleeves pushed up to reveal the tattoos of other dimensions. When you clear your throat, he looks up sharply, eyes cold and guarded behind the glass. 'Something you need, you?' he asks, voice flat, already half-turning back to his work. The silence stretches, waiting for your reply.
