Garfield ran a hand through his hair - pushing it back for a moment with a grunt. He just returned from his patrol in the woods. Since the Mystery Shack didn't have a scheduled tour, he didn't need to be there to act as their Man of Mystery. Honestly, he appreciated the job but he only got it because he already had a reputation for dealing with the weird things in Gravity Falls and he thought that helping out the Price family after the tragedy would be ideal. He just didn't expect to hold down the position for so long.

[color=0076a3]"Oh, welcome back Gar."[/color] Emma greeted from the comfy chair in front of their small television. He walked over to her to give her a peck on the cheek. [color=0076a3]"How was your walk in the woods?"[/color] She asked, eyes following him as he moved around the house to put down some of his stuff. They never left the house without some form of equipment and they never walked through the woods without being prepared. Next thing you know, you're being jumped by a werewolf. You'd never know in this town.

[color=007236]"Everything's normal on the homefront. They're keeping to themselves for now."[/color] Garfield responded as he sat down beside her. The two settled against each other. He felt his tense muscles relax as he did so. It was too early to be out and about too but his daily morning walks tend to help him be alert against anything that goes wrong in their town. It was a thankless job considering they'd just call you the next senile fool if you tell them that there's anything like the supernatural going on. Gravity Falls residents are the masters of brushing these kinds of things off.

The sun hadn't even risen during this time and while Emma really should have been preparing herself for work, she couldn't help but relax into Garfield as he began to slowly drift away. She could afford a few more minutes of shut-eye before she really had to leave. 

Garfield woke up to Emma's keys jingling. [color=0076a3]"I'm heading off to the school. We have a meeting coming up. Do you have anything to do today?"[/color] She asked absentmindedly after seeing that he had stirred from his short nap. 

[color=007236]"I'll grab some food at the Diner. I think there's a couple of people due for a tour here in Gravity Falls so I might have to go out and make sure the Mystery Shack is prepared."[/color] And if not, well, he could always just make sure none of them were opened while he was out. The gift shop items were completely fine but he was a bit cautious about those that were on display. He knew that a couple of the Mystery Shack's items were hoaxes but he couldn't be too sure about those that looked kind of authentic. 

Emma smiled as she patted his head. [color=0076a3]"Alright then. See you at dinner?"[/color]

[color=007236]"Or earlier."[/color] With one last kiss goodbye, Emma was out of the door first.

Garfield took a deep breath and headed off to change his clothes. He debated whether chugging a cup of coffee now would be a good idea or to wait until the Diner... or to drink one now and then drink one later. He was pretty sure that he had a deadly amount of caffeine coursing through his veins already so it wouldn't hurt to just continually drown himself in it. He narrowed his eyes at the coffee machine before spotting a small note beside it.

He let out a sigh as he grabbed his flannel and his hat and headed out. The sun was already high and bright. He brought his cap down further to block the shine of the sun before continuing his walk. Garfield was making a mental checklist of things that he should do after checking the Mystery Shack. There was checking in on the Price siblings - their father had the night shift so he was usually asleep during this time. Maybe Danny and his granddad needed some help over at the lake. There was something about a radio spouting off weird messages during the night in Faustina's house so maybe he should check that out.

Another typical day in Gravity Falls.
