Pioneer Day and the Runic language

After getting home, showering and eating dinner by myself since everyone was already sleeping I went to join Gyl in the sweet embrace of my blankets, even tough Gyl was hurt he regenerated pretty fast after eating a bit.

I open my eyes to the sun shining into my eyes, I sit up and stare out the window for a bit before saying, "We really need some blinds" while looking at Mabel who was also woken up by the light.

I sigh and start getting ready for the day. After brushing my teeth showering and dressing up I head downstairs to eat.

"Ha-ha! Nacho earrings. I'm hilarious!" Mabel says while wearing some Nachos, "That's debatable. Aw, come on, what's with all this traffic? And why is it all...covered wagons? Oh no! No! No!" Stan shouts and tries to escape the wagons that for some reason start circling us.

After Stan had a panic attack we left the car and are currently looking down a old timey Main street, "Ah, boy. It's Pioneer Day. Every year these yahoos dress up like idiots to celebrate the day Gravity Falls was founded."

"C'mon this is pretty cool" I say somewhat surprised that a whole town participates in this, "Yes I have a good feeling about this day" Mabel says.

"Welcome to 1863!" Shouts Toby Determined while waving around a newspaper, Stan picks him up by his collar and stares him dead in his eyes before saying, "I will break you little man!".

He lets him go and Toby scurries away, "Was that necessary?" I ask and don't get a answer. I look around and spot some guy getting married to a wood pecker, I wonder what he does to that wood pecker when they are alone.

"Come one and all for the opening ceremonies!" A man says, I look back and ask Stan "Are you coming?"

"No, thank you! Just remember if you come back to the Shack talking like these people, you're dead to me! I just laugh and turn around to follow Mabel who already left me behind.

"Here-ye, here-ye! Ye olde commencement ceremony is about to commence.!" Detective blubs shouts as a crowd gathers around the wooden stage.

Pacifica then walks on stage and taps her mic before saying, " Howdy, everyone! You all know me, Pacifica Northwest, great-great granddaughter of town-founder, Nathaniel Northwest" She scans the audience stopping on me before continuing, "Now if you've got the pioneer spirit, we ask you to come on up and introduce yourself."

Mabel gasps before saying, "Audience participation!", I look up from the corn dog I am eating and say, "Are you sure? Aren't you and Pacifica enemies?" Even though me and Pacifica are on somewhat friendly terms Mabel wasn't. "It's water under the bridge" She says before running onto the stage.

"Our first newcomer is... Mabel!" Pacifica says with alot less aggression then I was expecting, I head over to a bench and sit down to watch, "Yeah! Let's get this Pioneer Day started! Right guys? USA! USA!" Mabel shouts after taking the microphone from Pacifica's hands causing the crowd to cheer on with her.

____________________________________________

To my absolute surprise Pacifica apologized to Mabel and ditched her parents after her speech and explored all the things to do with us for the whole day and when she got back to her parents they said absolutely nothing. I guess I'm just that scary or they know having a good relationship with me can help them.

Pacifica and Mabel talked for a bit but their personalities are just so different they ran out of things to say after like 5 minutes so I just took out my journal and read it with them because they both are interested in it.

All in all fun day would do again, but right now I am walking in a very dark cave I found a while ago but was just too busy to explore it, I even have a book with me that looks just like Fords it just has a number 4 on it and is empty, I was going to put the Leshy in it but decided to put it in the third journal to keep the theme of the 3rd containing monsters the second containing magic and the 1st containing creatures.

But now I run into the problem of what to put into my 4th, maybe if I find something worthwhile in here that isn't in the other journals maybe I'll theme mine after it. I arrive at a edge that drops down into darkness.

With no hesitation I jump down and just before reaching the ground I stop myself, I deactivate my powers and land on the slightly damp ground, I point my flashlight ahead and start walking.

I have been walking for about an hour and am starting to lose hope of anything even being here, I sigh and decide to keep looking. I walk forward and instead of hearing the same muddy texture I instead hear something solid.

I look down and and move the very shallow water aside with telekinesis, after moving the water I look down and see a square slab of concrete. "Huh such convenient timing" I joke to myself before yanking the slab of. I look down the hole I just made before jumping down.

I land on the ground and look around the the small cave I am now in and look at the walls surrounding me with a bunch of runes? Yeah runes I look at the walls before walking up to it, I unshrink my soon to be 4th journal and turn to the very last page of it before I start copying each and every rune unique rune.

"I think I found my topic, magic languages" I say and grin to myself, after copying the 345 unique runes I stare them down for a bit trying to figure out how they work, I decide to figure them out at home. Walking to the end of the room and start looking around.

After digging around the rocks and dirt I find a thin stone slab with what seems to be some unknown language?

I look at the tablet again and decide to say the words on the tablet hoping it wont make me explode, "Here goes nothing, Toplivo plyus vozdukh plyus teplo" As I say that a specific rune on the wall light up orange before combusting into flames, the fire dies out but the runes are still on the wall.

"Woah that's pretty cool, they are pretty much glyphs just you use incantations to activate them" I say before searching for more tablets, after finding a few more I draw the rune and corresponding incantation in my journal, I plan to translate the rest of the runes into the unknown language then learn the unknown language to be able to use them on a whim.

I might be able to tattoo them onto my body permanently to use, after copying all the incantations that are here I start flying out the cave as I am I disrupt the cave causing it to cave in sealing the way to the rune room.

I fly out the small opening that leads to the outside world just as it collapses I then use my powers to smooth out the rocks blocking the way in making it flush with the rest of the ground.

I smile and head back to the Mystery Shack to get started on deciphering the runes.
