THE OREGON PARKS CODES HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN SOLVED!
My friend @trickengf and JimBag_777 on Twitter solved the codes by aligning the known runes with potential letters
FULL THREAD HERE!!

The codes in turn read...
"DON'T SHAKE HIS HAND"
"WORST FRIENDS"
Huge congrats to these two for solving it and to everyone who gave it a crack. We're not 100% certain yet but these do seem to be real enough sentences to fit the Gravity Falls vibe the Book of Bill has going for it.

They got nothing on us!

NEVER make your fictional language riddle a plain replacement cipher!!!! I made it out of an escape room having NEVER FOUND THE KEY TO THE CIPHER because “the” and “always” are EXTREMELY identifiable words. Always make a full language. A cipher is breakable in 15 minutes when you are like me and Siobhan Thompson
I mean really Brennan. That was STUPID.

2 eggs left in animal well and I’m stumped… I know most of the layer 3 and even 4 spoilers which let’s be real they’re actually impossible to solve on your own anyway. so I figured I may as well look these last couple eggs up but I can’t remember what ones I already got and there’s 64 of them… might honestly post a pic of my egg room on Reddit or in the discord and ask people to give me some idea of what rooms they are

Billford fic recs!
I was asked a while ago (i believe by @kerink ?) when I shared a list of the currently active fics I was reading if I could do a broader rec list as well, so here it is! not a ton of oneshots since I didn't try to keep good track of fics until very recently. will likely update this over time!
there is ONE non-triangle bill in here, but what he is in that one is vague so maybe he could still be the triangle. schrodingers triangle.
Collections:
Valentines 3K challenge (all explicit)
you know it. you love it. if you haven't read all of them though, you're missing the fuck out
Stan Bros Coffee (G and explicit)
the espresso-Bill AU! there's a bunch of little fics about it and they're all in here!
Billford Egg Hunt 2025 (all explicit)
that man gets eggs laid in him
Oneshots: (most oneshot recs are in the collections)
Eternal Devotion - Illusions of the Heart (explicit)
have you ever read a horror story posing as a love story? are you interested in the most unhinged yet cohesive internal monologue ever crafted? do you wonder why keyhole suddenly became so prominent in the fandom out of nowhere? all of these and more await you in here. click the link-- i am a normal fanfic
touch and go (teen)
it's portal ford, baby! great exploration of what prolonged isolation does to people and has excellent bill being sweeties
Haha He Fucked That...Spider? (explicit)
again, portal ford! he's the master of getting himself in stupid situations, and bill is the master of getting him out of them in the ways ford appreciates the least
Hazing Ritual (mature)
Ford takes a hike in the woods in the middle of the night with his cock out and Bill comes to say hi
Longfics:
Theseus' Guide To Ruining A Perfectly Good Boat (mature) (complete in my heart bc i know what happens)
why are you still following me if you haven't read this yet. y'all know what this is
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem (mature) (complete)
how bad do things have to get before bill finally chooses to cut his shit out? the answer may surprise you! during-betrayal fic where bill makes the ingenious decision to bring a third party into the mix as if that would solve anything. breathtaking prose, magnificent character work, and the best fucking bill cipher writing and analysis there is! SO funny, SO raw and emotional. Jan deserves to ascend to godhood at the cost of all of her family and friends. as a treat.
Creative Solution (unrated, but i'd call it mature) (complete)
what if bill erased ford's memories of the betrayal and weirdmageddon happened? touches on what it's like to be in a relationship where you're both deeply mentally ill and insecure in a way that really, truly hits me. absolute masterwork of digging through bill's fucked up psyche and the ways in which he Can and Will spiral forever AND BE SURE TO STICK AROUND FOR THE EPILOGUE: A VISIT TO THE PINES WHICH IS MY FAVORITE SHIT EVER!!! proving to your parents what a failure you are will always have good results! definitely break no-contact, only good things can happen!
Property of Bill Cipher (explicit) (good as complete)
pre-portal character exploration. the only fic i think ive ever seen that dares to say bill was doing extremely fucked up shit with ford the entire time before things went bad between them, it's just that after the betrayal, ford viewed it all in a different light. handles bill's obsession with the guy so nicely, does not shy away from the scary and unnerving in just the way i love it! it's incomplete, but the story is really just a series of vignettes leading up to and a little after the betrayal, so we all know how this is all going to end anyways. this one is formative billford for me
Multiversal Manhunt Moved to Your Backyard (explicit, but only the final chapter) (complete)
set during weirdmageddon, bill and ford make a deal to play a game of sexy scary hide and seek. it's so fun to root for the villain. this author has an amazing grasp on the character voices and tone, this is SUCH a delightful read and despite knowing exactly how it's gonna end, the tension still keeps you at the edge of your seat!
On the Level (mature) (incomplete)
marine biology AU where ford is a researcher on a deep sea base and bill is some sort of eldritch horror at the bottom of the sea. writing is lovely and it's really got the slow, ominous horror vibe down pat. it's tagged for Alien(1979) references so i'm personally waiting for bill to violently murder all of these people <3 also this is the non-triangle fic i was referring to
Take A Chance (explicit) (incomplete)
handyman bill thats very focused on how poorly bill and ford are able to communicate with each other, and boy, theyre bad at it. lots of cute family shenanigans and overall a very lighthearted read!
Dream Operator (mature) (incomplete)
post canon billford my beloved. Bill is trapped in the Theraprism, Ford is off doing his boat adventures with his brother, yet neither of them get the other out of their dreams. Literally. goofy dream shenanigans abound!
tear flesh from my skeleton just to feel something genuine (rated teen, it is NOT teen) (incomplete)
VIVISECTIONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Better Than Sex! It’s Vivisection! (mature) (complete)
ONE FUCKING GUESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Impossible Geometries and Biologies (explicit) (complete)
pregnant bill fic that i have some Opinions about but it gets to stay because I like the speculative bio they do just that much

Underrated problem with growing up is that nobody gives you fun shift ciphers any more. When you were a kid you'd constantly get shift ciphers at the end of school worksheets or in magazines or on cereal boxes. Nobody gives you shift ciphers as an adult, and if they do, they expect you to solve them with a computer program (boring) instead of on a handful of old post-it notes with your friends.

Escape Room Chaos
Summary: You take Steve and Bucky to an escape room for a fun, relaxing evening, but things quickly spiral into chaos. Both somehow ignore the obvious clues in favor of dramatic theories and property damage. You’re just trying to survive until you can successfully escape without a lawsuit. (Steve Rogers x reader x Bucky Barnes)
Word Count: 1.6k+
Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
You really should’ve known better.
The moment Bucky rolled up his sleeves and said “This’ll be easy,” you felt the first ripple of doom. You’d booked the escape room as a fun, harmless activity. Something like a little post-mission team bonding that didn’t involve hand-to-hand combat or collapsing buildings. You even picked a cheesy detective theme, thinking they’d enjoy something grounded and puzzle-y. Maybe even quiet.
You were wrong.
The three of you stood in the lobby of “The Great Escape,” surrounded by plastic magnifying glasses, dusty fedoras, and a suspiciously chipper staff member in suspenders and a fake mustache. She gave you the usual speech: 60 minutes to escape, no real danger, don’t break the props, yada yada.
Steve nodded solemnly like he was being briefed before an intense mission. Bucky? He crossed his arms and smirked. You could already tell his competitive switch had flipped.
The room itself was dimly lit and lined with fake wood panels. A ticking clock glowed red above the door while there were clues scattered everywhere ranging from files, books, old telephones, and even a fake fireplace. As soon as the door clicked shut behind you, Steve took a deep breath like he was about to deliver a speech at a press conference.
“We should split up to cover more ground. Look for patterns, numbers, keys. And be sure to keep a level head.”
You blinked. “It’s not a hostage situation, Cap.”
But Steve was already kneeling to inspect a lockbox with the intensity of a man deciphering enemy codes. Meanwhile, Bucky was tapping along the walls with the knuckles of his metal hand.
“Could be a hidden panel,” He muttered.
“Could be drywall,” You replied, dragging your palm down your face.
Ten minutes in, you had two clues solved and one increasingly serious argument about whether the bookshelf was a red herring or not. Bucky was now trying to climb it.
“James Buchanan Barnes, get down before you collapse the whole set!” You hissed.
He looked down, half-smirking. “It’s not real, doll. Look.” He gave it a little shove, just enough for it to creak ominously. You glared.
Steve, across the room, had located a cipher wheel and was mumbling to himself. “It’s gotta be a Caesar shift. Or maybe Morse code…”
“Steve, it’s literally a riddle that says ‘Look in the desk drawer,’” You pointed out, pulling it open and revealing a key taped inside.
He looked genuinely offended. “They’re dumbing it down.”
You exhaled through your nose. “Yes, they’re dumbing it down for people who aren’t 100-year-old super soldiers who do escape rooms like they’re battle strategy.”
By minute twenty, you were regretting everything. Steve had taken charge like a squad commander and Bucky had declared himself the “wildcard” of the team, which essentially meant “loose cannon with a metal arm and no patience.”
You were the only one actually reading the instructions on the wall.
By minute thirty, you’d reached the room’s second stage which was a secret chamber revealed when Bucky yanked on a wall sconce you definitely weren’t supposed to touch.
You all froze when the wall creaked and groaned like a bad horror movie. Then, with the slow drama of a B-grade haunted house, the panel slid open.
Steve actually clapped, cheering.
“I knew there was a hidden passage!”
“No, you didn’t,” You said, stepping cautiously inside. “You were still trying to decode that cipher wheel that said, ‘The butler did it.’”
The new room was darker with a desk, some faux-blood splatter, and a very questionable plastic skeleton slumped over a chair. Its skull was tilted sideways with a bowler hat perched on top of its head. There was also a magnifying glass clutched in one bony hand, and a suspicious envelope glued to its chest with “CLUE #6” scrawled across it in marker.
Steve stared at it. “I think we’re meant to… talk to him?”
Bucky narrowed his eyes. “Interrogate the corpse.”
You opened your mouth to say something, then thought better of it. You just took out your phone and started recording. For science… and for future blackmail.
Steve crouched beside the skeleton, folding his hands like he was addressing a witness. “We’re here to help. If you can tell us who killed you, we’ll bring them to justice.”
You bit your lip so hard trying not to laugh, you swore you tasted blood.
Bucky leaned over the desk and yanked the envelope from the skeleton’s chest.
Steve’s jaw tightened. “You’re contaminating the scene.”
“It’s a twenty dollar prop, Steve. I don’t think it’s going to trial.”
Then Bucky poked the skeleton’s head, making it fall off and clatter dramatically to the floor.
Everyone stared at it. Steve looked personally offended.
You raised an eyebrow. “Did you just decapitate our only lead?”
“It… it was barely hanging on anyway,” Bucky muttered, setting the skull back with exaggerated care. “These things happen.”
Steve knelt beside the fallen plastic remains, eyes full of regret. “He served his purpose. We thank him for his sacrifice.”
You threw your hands in the air. “It’s a skeleton, not a fallen comrade!”
The intercom crackled. “Hey guys,” The perky staff member’s voice rang out, “Just a reminder: Please don’t disassemble the props. Sir with the metal arm? Yes, you. Please don’t interrogate the decor.”
Bucky gave a small chuckle. Steve immediately stood at attention. “Sorry, ma’am.”
You looked between your two supersoldier boyfriends and the half-decapitated skeleton, then turned toward the camera in the corner and gave it a deadpan stare. “I just wanted a nice evening. That’s all. Just puzzles and maybe a little fun but no. Instead I get a dramatized cold case and two very intense golden retrievers with trauma.”
“Hey,” Bucky said with a shrug. “You’re the one who invited us.”
You squinted at him. “…You know what? That one’s on me.”
By minute forty-five, you were starting to suspect the real puzzle wasn’t the escape room. It was figuring out how you were going to survive this without needing a drink afterward. Bucky had taken it upon himself to test “structural weaknesses” in the fake brick walls. His version of “testing” was punching one lightly. With his metal arm.
The wall cracked and the room went silent.
From the intercom: “Please do not damage the set. Also, we are not responsible for injuries caused by over enthusiastic participation. Thank you!”
You turned on him like a storm. “What happened to ‘this’ll be easy’?”
“It is easy. The wall just looked suspicious,” Bucky replied, wiping fake cobwebs from his sleeve like a man with no regrets.
“It’s foam!” You yelled. “It’s suspicious because it’s clearly styrofoam!”
Steve, meanwhile, had discovered a locked chest with an old rotary phone on top. He was pacing in front of it like he was expecting it to ring with instructions from headquarters.
“I think it’s a code,” He murmured. “We dial something, and it opens. Maybe if we spell out a word using the numbers-”
“Steve,” You interrupted, pinching the bridge of your nose, “The clue literally says: ‘Dial 911 to unlock the final key.’ That’s not a code. That’s just instructions.”
Steve blinked. “Oh.”
He dialed 911 on the dusty phone. The chest popped open with a ding and a dramatic puff of dry ice that startled all three of you.
Inside was a black keycard and a note that said “Final door: 5 minutes remain.”
Bucky snatched the keycard. “Let’s finish this thing. I’ve got a hot date with a milkshake and a nap.”
Steve furrowed his brow. “We should think this carefully and plan. There could be traps in the last room.”
You looked between them and snorted. “What, like the staff’s gonna throw in a booby trap just to spice it up?”
“…They could,” Steve muttered. “It’d be unexpected, that’s good design.”
You made a mental note to ban both of them from anything resembling a mystery game for the rest of your natural life.
Then came The Moment.
You all stepped into the final room that was all dark with eerie music playing from a hidden speaker, and a blinking red countdown above the last door. Dramatic fog rolled out across the floor.
There was a button on the wall.
Just a red, glowing button with a sign above it that said:
“EMERGENCY ESCAPE – DO NOT PRESS UNLESS YOU GIVE UP.”
You hadn’t even opened your mouth to say “don’t” before Bucky pressed it. The room lights blared on and the music stopped. The countdown froze at 00:03 as you all stood in stunned silence.
The intercom crackled again.
“…So, you technically escaped, but also forfeited. That’s… a first.”
Bucky blinked. “What? It said emergency. I figured it’d blow something up. Or, like… open a trapdoor. Something dramatic.”
Steve looked personally betrayed. “We were three seconds away from winning with full completion.”
“You were still looking for tripwires,” You snapped. “I was reading the last clue. He just wanted to blow something up!”
Bucky looked sheepish. “You can’t give me a glowing red button and not expect me to press it. That’s on them.”
You stared at the ceiling like it might offer you divine intervention. “I invited two enhanced soldiers into a puzzle-themed children’s attraction. This is my fault. I accept that.”
As the final door clicked open and the staff came in to escort you out, one of them gave you a pitying smile.
“Hey,” She said brightly, “At least no one tried to climb into the air vents this time!”
You blinked. “Wait. That’s an option?”
Steve immediately looked intrigued.
You grabbed both their arms. “Nope. Out now. I’m buying you both ice cream so you don’t break anything else.”

It's Just a Game, Right? Pt 5
Masterpost
"It's a pun." Tim murmurs, staring at the notes he's supposed to be sharing with Bernard. "I can't believe I didn't notice that sooner."
"Wait what?"
"The off-key notes are the key to the Caeser ciphers."
"Oh my god." Bernard stares at Tim's notebook. Just like Tim said, each off note is exactly the same amount of steps away from correct as the corresponding number of steps to move down the Caesar cipher. "Okay that's, like, kind of insane? Do we need to be looking for puns now?"
"Potentially? Double meanings are the basis of riddles, which are basically just word-based logic puzzles, so you know... Depending on someone's motivations they might find them equally valuable."
"Huh." Bernard tilts his head considering the new information. "Wait, does that mean that like, the Riddler uses puns? Is that a thing?"
"All the time, actually."
"Dude, why do you just know that?" Tim freezes, remembering too late that most people don't have access to dossiers on every rogue. "No, nevermind I know you're like, weirdly knowledgeable about the bats and the rogues; I shouldn't be surprised."
"Well, maybe everyone should pay a little more attention to their MOs," Tim says pointedly. "They are generally considered to be the most serious safety threat in Gotham, after all.
"I mean, I know generally what their deals are, I just don't go all Genius-Mode about it." Bernard laughs, then gets a thoughtful look on his face. Oh no, Tim thinks. "Hey, maybe the bats should, like, commission your help to deal with the Riddler. I'd bet you'd work through his weird puzzles in like, ten minutes!"
"I feel like they're doing fine as is."
"Yeah, I guess, but like. What if they could do it even faster, right?"
"Maybe." Tim fiddles with his pen. "Do you want to know what else I found?"
"Wait, you found more?"
"Not much; it came to a dead-end pretty quickly, but the implications are- concerning."
"Oh?"
"I noticed that the length of time for each photo seemed randomized, which I thought might also be a choice based on the music, since they always shift in time with a note, but there wasn't any logical pattern I could find there."
"I mean, that doesn't seem like a dead-end, that just sounds like we're missing something."
"Exactly. So I made a list of the durations between each incorrect note, and I ran that through a code checker, and it turned out to be encoded in base 26." Tim points to the corresponding list of numbers, and then below it, to where he's written out the translation.
"Dude." Bernard stares at the notebook, looking back at Tim with wide eyes.
"Someone is begging for our help."
"This is so cool!" Bernard exclaims grabbing at Tim's shoulders and shaking him lightly. "How have I not dragged you into solving ARGs before this you're so good at it! Just wait till I tell everyone on the forum!"
Tim blinks, Bernard's sudden excitement in direct opposition to the words had written down. When he'd cracked it, all he had felt was a spike of adrenaline, the anticipation of knowing there's somebody that needs help. But there isn't, is there? This whole thing is just a game. And the people that wrote this, that made these videos, that encoded these messages - the real people, are just having fun.
Tim takes a deep breath and does his best to match Bernard's excitement. But the words on the page keep staring back at him.
Help us please help us

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU FUCKING DID IT
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
NOW I DON'T HAVE TO SOLVE IT MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS THINKING TOO HARD
IT WAS THAT SIMPLE!!
BUT ALSO
THE ROMAN NUMERAL THAT PLAYED IN FRONT OF THAT IS I WHICH IS XANDER'S
SO THIS IS HOW DAVID FEELS ABOUT XANDER
AHHHHHHHH
Danganronpa: Despair Time - LGI numbers
Danganronpa: Despair Time spoilers (up to ch2 ep11), including the associated MV for that episode
so I remembered DR:DT's version of Literature Girl Insane and apparently from what my friends told me there isn't a place with an explanation for the numbers at 3:50 associated with note 14. I guess I'll explain it here because I DID figure it out
the MV shows two numbers on screen like [number] & [number] = ???:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the numbers are a little hard to read off but if you do it correctly it's
14631484268173741020143036451175923368636278930404923743082436772069705217326 & 43607886503718811525798764321686495628071353085956330717581498375291444100526 = ???
now, the hint in the description is [14] Hint: word length of 256, like 2^8. so it's binary which should be converted to text
taking the bitwise AND gives this in binary:
10000001001001001000000110100001100001011101100110010100100000011000010110110001110111011000010111100101110011001000000110110001101111011011110110101101100101011001000010000001110101011100000010000001110100011011110010000001111001011011110111010100101110
now, if you convert this to binary on its own, it looks like gibberish, but that's because the alignment is off. the length of this isn't a multiple of 8. so if you add two 0s to the start:
0010000001001001001000000110100001100001011101100110010100100000011000010110110001110111011000010111100101110011001000000110110001101111011011110110101101100101011001000010000001110101011100000010000001110100011011110010000001111001011011110111010100101110
THEN split it apart and convert it from binary to text, you get an actual message. it's not the biggest thing ever, but still cool, and it has exactly as many question marks as the screenshot above wants, so it's definitely the right answer:
I have always looked up to you.

What the bad kids would do on tumblr:
Fabian: Fabian doesn’t like tumblr because no one can see your follower count. He doesn’t use it very much but when he does he gets so many asks telling him to stop being mean to Riz and crossing his boundaries for fun and every other ask he has to explain that Riz actually likes when he calls him The Ball but only when he does it. Once he shared a video of Riz asleep on his lap in his battle sheet and one half of those who saw it were like ‘aw :)’ and the other half claimed that goblins only do that when stressed to which Fabian was like “yeah that’s why he was doing he stressed himself out what do you think he does all day”
Adaine: Only reblogs photos and art of frogs. Every Saturday she posts the “Frog of the Week” which is just the frog picture she liked that most. People sometimes ask her in her inbox for oracle stuff and she just posts pictures of Boggy the Froggy as answers.
Fig: It’s a Fig and the Cig Figs account but it’s actually her account. It’s a lot of pictures of her and her friends hanging out. There is also a lot of pictures of her and her girlfriend. Always accompanied by fig and the cig figs promo.
Kristen: Just a lesbian account. It’s entirely about being a lesbian. Once she starts getting jacked it’s about being a jacked lesbian. It used to be a secret account away from her family so once she started posting about being a lesbian and being away from her family all her followers were like YEAH!!!
Gorgug: Gorgug got tumblr last and he justs posts about tinkering projects. Sometimes he gets an ask about Fig and the Cig Figs and he answers it but he prefers to talk about tinkering and making stuff.
Riz: Riz always had a tumblr account. He was there in the trenches. He is very popular but no one knows it’s him they only know that he is a goblin so sometimes people will ask him “What do you think of Riz from the Bad Kids” and he’s like damn I dunno. He posts mostly art of niche fandoms and ciphers and puzzles for people to solve but he’s mostly popular for the same reason Maia crime cat is and that is because he’s leaked government information on several occasions.

You're Off-key
Prologue
Tumblr media
Reader X Gravity Falls
Warnings ⚠
⚠ The Book of Bill SPOILERS HERE! Do NOT read if you don't want any spoils of the book. Other than that, enjoy. -mentions of madness, blood, cryptids, italics= thoughts, ya know..the usual. Oh! And for our old pal Stan, some swear words. ⚠
Tumblr media
You missed this.
Being one of the weird kids who loved the supernatural, interested in solving puzzles, uncovering secrets. Of course you ended up watching Gravity Falls.
Never really growing out of it, you'd still watch videos about ghosts or getting a heavy duty flashlight and a pair of brass knuckles for whatever made a noise in your apartment.
Ghost or not, they'd learn not to mess with you!
At some point you got The Book of Bill.
It was so cool! Little funny and silly at times. There was also the triangle's descent into madness. Man those pictures were good.
Also an axolotl?
You don't know but it looked cute.
As you kept reading, the more you wanted to experience everything you didn't get to when you were younger.
So you decided on a road trip!
A road trip to all the places that inspired the creator of the show and the final stop would be Bill's statue!
Best friend in the passenger seat! Sun glasses in the glove boxes! And snacks to last you a while before the next gas station stop!
You even brought a camera!
"Ready for the time of your life?", you asked excitedly.
"In this heat?", your best friend fanned their face with the paper map. "It'll be meh but yeah, I'm ready for the car AC."
You both were in the car, ready to begin the adventure to Oregon, but you were just double checking before it actually began.
"Ok, ok. I'll start the car.", you said and put the key in the ignition, turning it and starting the car.
Immediately putting the AC on high, both of you were ready and you slowly backed out the driveway.
"Let's get that fucking pie!", you said and put on the sun glasses.
It was really bright today.
First you went to the famous diner with the pie. It was a give in, honestly but the pie was really good. Next to the Oregon Vortex. Now that was a really weird shack! Everything was leveled but you were standing slanted a bit. Then you both went to every roadside attraction that you could and got some key chains for souvenirs. It's been really clear weather since you started the road trip, which was a bit of a surprise. It was supposed to sprinkle at some point.
Finally, the last thing on the list arrived.
Playing the song "We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn as you drove to the parking area and both of you were singing along to it before you had to turn off the car.
You brought The Book of Bill for fun.
Deciding to joke around, you bought some spaghetti to go and went to park the car before venturing into the woods where Bill's Statue was.
"Are you seriously gonna try it?", your best friend laughed.
"Why not?", you smiled while putting a water bottle in your pack. "It's ok to be silly. Mabel says so. Trust the silliness!"
"Yeah, ok.", they agreed with a smile. "If we get mauled by a bear, I'm sacrificing you first."
.....
"Fair."
Camera, spaghetti, book of Bill, and water! (Also a flashlight.) You were ready for a photo shoot with the oh so famous Dream Demon!
Looking back to see the sun, you guessed that you had about two hours to find Bill's statue before it got too dark. Your best friend had a map they downloaded off the internet that would lead you straight to it. Of course, with you having some attention issues, you'd get sidetracked by anything you found interesting, hence needing the two hours.
You were right!
The two hours were needed because you were still trying to solve one of the codes in the book, while also getting distracted by some cool looking bugs around the area.
"Did you try the Caesar cipher?", your friend asked.
"Yeah, but this is new. It's something else.", you sighed. "I should have tried the website before leaving.", you grumbled sadly.
"Hey, it's totally fine!", they said and patted your back a few times. "You'll get to do that when we go back home.", then they pointed towards the right with their thumb. "By the way, Bill statue is next to us, over by those bushes."
"WHAT!?", you screeched and ran over, whispering a few ouches as the branches of the bush scratched your legs.
That's when you saw it.
In all of its odd glory was the Bill statue with its hand out, waiting for a hand shake.
"Eeeeee!", you cheered as you got closer, hearing your friend laugh behind you as you did so. "I gotta give him spaghetti!"
Opening up your bag, you took out the take-out box that held the noodley deliciousness and took a quick forkfull for yourself before putting it in front of the stone triangle.
"I really thought you were joking.", says your friend as they watch you take out the book and camera from your backpack.
"Nope!", you smile, snapping a quick picture of the statue with spaghetti. "Ok, now for the silliest part."
You take out Parmesan cheese and a cheese grater.
"Oh this is fucking hilarious.", your best friend says and takes pictures of you with their phone.
The sun hits the horizon and the sky is slowly darkening, you start grating the cheese and when you think it's enough, you stop.
"Hey, take a pic with me shaking his hand.", you say and get closer to the statue, reaching out to touch it.
"Sure thing jellybean.", they say and lift their phone up. "It's my turn after you."
"Ok!", you say and put a thumbs up as you put your other hand on the statue's.
As you look to where your best friend is, all you can see is darkness.
You call their name in confusion. "Are you there?", you ask. "Turn on the flashlight, its really dark out here."
But you get no response.
And then you hear something odd.
Kinda sounds like someone with a weird sound filter over their laughing.
"Ok, ha ha.", you roll your eyes. "Quit playing the Bill audio and take the picture already."
When you try to get a better hold on the statue, you realize you weren't holding anything at all.
"What?", you say and look at your hand. "Wait.. Why can I see my hand perfectly fine when everything else is-"
"Well, well, well!", says a familiar voice from behind you.
What?
Turning around you see a floating, glowing Dorito chip with a fancy bow tie and a top hat.
Holy shit.
"Here we are at last! I've been waiting an eternity to meet you."
How is this happening? Was one of the snacks you ate expired? Did you eat the wrong brownies!?
"Thanks for reading my best seller kid!", Bill says and twirls his cane into existence in his hand. "And for the handshake.", he blinks. Winks?
"Wait, hold on! I-!", you start.
"See you in Gravity Falls!", the triangle snaps his fingers and suddenly there's a hole beneath your feet that reveals a cartoon animated forest.
"Wha-"
"Don't break your neck on the way down!", the one eyed demon waves.
And you begin to fall.
