Greetings, Trench! This is Stanford Pines speaking. Many of you I met in Deerington, and others I only met after arriving in Trench.
For those of you I haven't met: I worked as a researcher of all things paranormal and anomalous in my home dimension, and after I arrived in Deerington I used my experience in that field to research and catalogue the events, creatures, history, and metaphysical inner workings of Deerington, the Dream, and its residents.
Now, I wasn't the only person gathering this information. Several other individuals compiled their own documents on the same subjects and made them available to all of Deerington. Several of the authors vanished, however, and the distribution of their works depended on other Sleepers already having their own copies to share.
Which brings me to a proposal I have for the entire town.
[ There's the brief sound of shuffling paper before Ford continues. ]
Assuming no such other project is underway I'd like to begin keeping a publicly accessible archive of information gathered by Sleepers, particularly as it pertains to the Sleepers as a whole, as well as the nature and history of this dimension.
So, I'm looking both for individuals willing to contribute their own research, as well as any ideas as to where this archive could be housed. We may be able to requisition our own wing within the School of Mutter's Archaic Archives, but it may be preferable to select a more neutral location, outside of the immediate influence of any of the Patron Pthumerians.
[ Ford pauses for a moment, clears his throat, and continues. ]
Thank you all for hearing me out. And if you ever encounter anything especially weird, please don't hesitate to contact me!

no subject
Information on the type of education that's provided here could be quite useful itself. Be sure to report back anything interesting you notice.
[ Since he's... not sure Dipper and Mabel are going to bother going. ]
no subject
[He only got the idea... because he ran into a teenager who was older than him attending school, and mentioning his witch of a girlfriend also attending.]
Honestly? I know I can do a lot-- or, could, at least. I just never tried it... and I don't really know much about how it's supposed to work.
Is there anything in particular you want me looking for?
