Small towns had always had the best hospitality, and Gravity Falls was no exception. They smiled at the waitress and dug in. The plate consisted of three pancakes, two scrambled eggs, three pieces of bacon, two pieces of sausage, and hashbrowns. Plus the coffee that Avery had ordered. Even if they didn’t finish, it would be great for leftovers. Just as they were starting to dig in, however, a commotion sounded behind them. They turned around, expecting one person, but instead got two. An amused smile bloomed on their face as they saw what was happening, though. This goth girl (looking very heavily made up, mind) shoved aside another kid who she deemed “a tourist” and boosted herself onto the seat next to Avery. They laughed. They could remember their own goth days, and, recalling that period of their life, decided to give her the Hot Topic gift card in their wallet. [color=Coral]“[i]Come back after her,[/i][/color]” they mouthed to Ludwig- even if he was a tourist, he might still know something- and turned to Sid, cutting them off in the middle of a ramble. [color=Coral]“Morning! I’m so happy you came up, I love interviewing. Before we start, though, let me introduce myself. My name’s Avery Washington and I’m a doctoral student of sociology at the University of Michigan. I’m studying urban legends in the American Northwest, which includes Gravity Falls! Do you consent to be recorded in this interview? I’ll give you fifteen bucks1”[/color] They winked. Once Sid said yes, Avery switched on an archaic-looking tape recorder and placed it on the bar. [color=Coral]“There we go. Lovely, lovely. Now, you were saying something about [i]Man[/i]otaurs? Is that possibly related to the ancient Greek legend of the Minotaur? Please explain that to me. But- wait, I'm sorry. I got ahead of myself. State your full name and [i]then[/i] start talking.”[/color] They leaned forward on their elbows, clearly interested, although 90% sure this tiny goth girl was bullshitting them.
