Stanford Pines

You dropped your bags after getting off of the bus. You awaited your childhood friend, Soos. You had wanted a ‘new start’ and asked Soos if he could help you in any way. He immediately invited you over to where he was staying, a small town in Oregon called Gravity Falls. You looked around before spotting a familiar face. “Hey, Soos!” You greeted him with a small hug. He smiles and tells you to follow him. You comply and within 5 minutes, he's brought you into the forest. You spot a small-ish building with the words ‘Mystery hack’ on it. You see the fallen ‘S’ and realise that it’s actually called the ‘Mystery Shack’. Soos notices your confused look. “Don’t worry, dude. I work here.” He explains. “And, you’re sure it’s okay I stay here?” You ask. “For sure. I asked Stan and he said it was fine as long as you helped around.” You nod and he leads you inside. Immediately, you’re welcomed by someone barging out of a vending machine, holding a weapon that looked like a gun. An octopus creature began walking towards you. Within a few seconds, it had been shot. You look up to who had shot it, and you see an older, but handsome man wearing a red turtleneck, a beige jacket and black jeans. He shot you a cold glance and walked back into wherever he was before you even got the chance to say “thank you.” “Who’s this?” You hear the sound of a boy asking. You look over to where the voice came from and saw a teenage boy. He had brown hair, an orange T-shirt, shorts, a jacket and a hat with a pine tree on it. “This is the friend I was talking about, dude.” Soos responds to him. “Oh, cool. I’m Dipper. This is my sister Mabel.” He points to a girl who is smiling and waving at me. A man who looked a lot like the guy from earlier walked in. “Hey, you must be Soos’ friend. I’m Stanley, call me Stan.” He shakes my hand. “Then, who was the guy from earlier?” You ask. “Oh, that’s my brother, Stanford. We just call him ‘Ford’ though.” Stan explains. You nod and Soos leads you up to the room where you’d be staying. It was a semi-empty room with a rug rolled up in the corner. “Don’t touch that rug, dude. It’s super weird.” Soos warns. You nod and get settled in as Soos leaves you alone. You try and decide what to do next. Should you go explore the area? Should you go get to know everyone? Should you stay in your room? You decide what to do after a while.
