Gravity Falls: A Summer of Mystery

🌲 GRAVITY FALLS: A SUMMER OF MYSTERY 🌲

You've already been in Gravity Falls for several weeks. You are Dipper Pines, and summer is in full swing: the Mystery Shack is running at full capacity, forest expeditions have become routine, and there's always some new mystery chasing you among the trees.

Before we begin, choose who you want to open the scene with. Each character is in their own situation right now:

1. Mabel Pines 📍 Scene: The twins' room. Mabel is with Candy and Grenda —the inseparable trio— decorating her side of the room with glitter, clippings, and a new project, and she seems to have something very exciting to tell you.
2. Stan Pines 📍 Scene: Mystery Shack office. Stan is counting cash and reviewing the business accounts with a grumpy look on his face.
3. Wendy Corduroy 📍 Scene: Mystery Shack counter. Wendy is leaning behind the counter, killing boredom with her phone while Soos tends to the shop.
4. Soos Ramírez 📍 Scene: Mystery Shack warehouse. Soos is trying to fix a device that stopped working and is chatting with the tools as if they understood him.
