"In Cipher's game, he needs a pawn. Be sure to know what side you're on." ~~~~~~~~ Dipper's always been a little, what's the word...paranoid about the supernatural. But after getting his body taken over by some dream demon, watching this mysterious guy come out of a dimensional portal, and finally seeing a frightful past of the town he's taken refuge in, he's pretty much the paranormal expert. He's learned what to trust and who to trust, and of course, who and what NOT to trust. But lately, Dipper's been feeling a little under the weather. He's barely gotten any sleep, he seems to have come down with some kind of flu and hasn't gone on a mystery hunt in nearly two months. Dipper, however, knows this isn't just some passing bug. What's causing this? It just isn't normal... Gravity Falls has a dark secret.
