Video | UN: alcaid
[The video feed opens up to a ...very clearly staged backdrop with Dipper sitting at a desk with several things laid out around him. There's a few lit candles, a few notebooks. Pens, an ink pot with a quill that he is definitely not using but has it near by for visual interest.]
[He is very clearly hoping to be taken seriously here, so as usual, he is trying too hard. He clears his throat.]
So, hey, Trench, let's talk about ghosts for a second. While it's not super surprising this place might be crazy haunted, based on aesthetic alone, I started noticing an uptick in paranormal activity all around the city about a week ago.
[Dipper holds up a journal where he has drawn out a very nice graph of the raising ghost activity.
Behind Dipper, one of the books on his shelf starts to wiggle free. ]
I wasn't sure what it was at first, because it's not the kind of ghost activity I'm used to dealing with, but the city had apparitions wandering the streets. They weren't very solid and vanished when I touched one, leaving me super cold but otherwise unscathed.
My family couldn't see them, but they were definitely there. Anyway, it's October and I'm sure things will escalate eventually, so I wanted to share with you guys a banishing ritual I've been working on with my uncle. I'll attach it to this post.
I've also been working on-- [That book that's been easing out of the bookcase now just flings itself across the room, crashing into something off screen.]
[Dipper shrieks and whips around.]
[Waits.]
[And then sighs.]
Hey! I'm not talking about banishing you! I'm talking about in the off chance we get vengeful murder ghosts. You know that's a possibility, dude.
[The second book that was on it's way to being pulled out of the shelf stops and then eases its way back into the book shelf. Nothing to see here.]
[Dipper turns back around and continues like nothing weird happened.]
I've also been working on a public record for rituals and spells. A city spell book, of sorts that we can all use. It's only got some of mine in it for right now, but like, feel free to use it. We're still learning a lot about this place so sharing what we learn can only help us all, right?
Also, if anyone needs help with a nasty spirit, hit me up. I've got experience busting ghosts and was kind of the town expert back in Gravity Falls. Stay safe out there, guys.
[Attached to the post is a link to Dipper's Ghost Banishing ritual, as well as how to make the Silver Mirror it calls for. At the bottom there is a link to something called the Sleeper Grimoire which is a public use digital spellbook that the Sleepers have access to add to.]

[As in how much she could stay awake and what crazy shenanigans she could get into on her own].
So you just substituted one thing for another, great instincts! You know, you'd be a pretty fair witch yourself!
I had a feeling that was true. Me and Fern recently visited this big tree in Cassandra, and we had totally different reactions to it!
no subject
[You know, he normally would have been offended by being called a witch. Witches back home reminded him of The Hand Witch who was not exactly the kind of person he was aspiring to be.]
[But Luz was a witch, right? So Witches could come in other flavors. He'll take this one as a compliment since he's pretty sure she is not comparing him to a reclusive cave hag who steals hands.]
You think so? I didn't really think much of it back home, you know, once I got over the whole magic is real shock. So long as you know how to do it, these kinds of spells could be done by anyone, I'm pretty sure.
[A pause, he looks thoughtful.]
Every time I tell someone about magic, or that I can do it, everyone gets really surprised.
[Which is to say it did not occur to him that in some places magic can only be done by certain people. That just doesn't sound fair to him, honestly.]
Oh, that thing. How was it? I haven't had a chance to look at it too closely, yet.

[Luz was a darn good witch, thank you Dipper! She was hardly an old crone]!
Oh right, I'm sure! That's what's so helpful about them: they'll give you protection and help you learn how to experiment if you do them right!
Huh? Why's that? You're really smart and you're constantly exploring all the time. Do they really think you wouldn't have learned how to do some kind of magic by now?
[Luz had been told humans could never learn magic, so. She's clearly sympathetic].
Fern said it creeped him out. I meditated and felt a Pthumerian presence for the first time. It was one of those little fish in a big pond moments.
