Open Misfire Log!

[microbrobotics]

WHO: Hiro + anyone with a comm!
WHERE: Your comm, courtesy of data-jumping and the server misfire event
WHEN: October 3rd
WHAT: Hiro tries to jump back into his own comm and misses. Badly. Repeatedly. Shenanigans ensue.
WARNINGS: Probably none!

[ The good thing about being able to data-jump is that it makes the commute into De Chima ridiculously easy. Set up two beacons - one in his comm, the other at his work terminal - and just follow that path back and forth. He doesn't even have to think and he's there.

Unfortunately, those beacons are just as dependent on the server update as the rest of the network ... and when the misfires start happening, Hiro's beacons get mixed up too. What should be a big bright arrow pointing to his comm is just complete garbage ... meaning he's going to end up in a whole lot of comms that he shouldn't be before he finally makes his way home.

For those getting the misfire, there's a only a quick ping, like receiving a message, before a very confused teenager's face appears on the viewscreen. He does, at least, keep from going through any data, but that means he has to look out at the surroundings to try and figure out where he is. Which means staring up at whoever's comm he's in now. ]

Seriously? Not again.

Dude, that is awesome. I'm kinda jealous, not gonna lie.

[ursawhiner]

Mabel would totally teach you if you asked her. Then you could make some kind of knitting robot.

[microbrobotics]

Don't tempt me. I'd probably cover half the city like that.

[ursawhiner]

Sounds like the beginning of a supervillain scheme.

[microbrobotics]

Aww come on. I only pulled one of those, by accident.

[ursawhiner]

Hey, it's not a bad thing. Mabel could cover the other half of the city. Then everything would be ready for winter.

[microbrobotics]

Hah. That's one way to keep everyone warm.

[ursawhiner]

We'd be doing everyone a favour! Think of all the money they'd save on heating costs.

[microbrobotics]

Everyone all cozy and trapped forever under a blanket of yarn.

[ursawhiner]

Barely even villainous.

[microbrobotics]

Exactly! Maybe a little mad sciencey.

[ Speaking of which... ]

What's with the diary?

[ursawhiner]

It's a journal! [Crap.]

I mean, what diary?

[He tries to stealthily sneak it under a sleeping kitten.]

[microbrobotics]

[ Wow Dipper. Just wow. ]

Uh, the one I can still totally see? Is it a secret or something?

[ursawhiner]

Kind of? Yes. Secret. Totally secret.

[microbrobotics]

Yeah? So tell me about it.

[ursawhiner]

That's the opposite of secret!

[microbrobotics]

I'll keep it a secret! I'm great at secrets!

[ursawhiner]

Okay, so. There's a lot of weird stuff in Gravity Falls. And this guy recorded all this information in these journals.

[microbrobotics]

... What kind of stuff? Science stuff or like - supernatural?

[ursawhiner]

Both! And there's hidden stuff that can only be seen under a blacklight.

[microbrobotics]

Dude. Secret messages.

[ursawhiner]

That's totally it! There's so much cool information and I still have no idea who the author is.

[microbrobotics]

Well do you have any guesses? Theories? You've gotta have SOMETHING.

[ursawhiner]

Nothing! It's like the guy just disappeared all of a sudden.

[microbrobotics]

Spooky. C'mon, lemme see some pages.
