"Welcome one! Welcome all! You're about to enter a world of peril and danger and loads and loads of totally-legit, I-swear-to-GOD-this-is-real inanimate object action... High octaine stuff that your flash photography can not handle so please turn the flash off unless we're outside because people might see it from the road and come this way if they do. THIS... is the... Mystery... Shack... Zone..."

Stan tried to make his speech end with something that could replace the word "Mystery" for "Twilight" but he wasn't quick witted enough and the thought came to him only after he had re-read the speech as it were on the napkin he snatched from the table.

"Alright whatever. This way please." He waved them all in, grumbling about how he went through hoops to entertain these people and all they ever did was whine about how something was too expensive or about how the no refunds policy infringed on the rights of blah blah blah.

Dipper didn't really care all that much about today's usual spiel. He had outright refused to help Grunkle Stan with his store today due to being particularly engrossed in one of his newly acquired books. Books on the "Acquisition of Interesting Phenomena and Institutional Irony" as it were.

He sat back on the couch and looked over to see if his sister Mabel was around. He knew she could probably provide some hefty insight on some of this stuff despite her disinterest in avid reading. Usually the fun they had together dealt with Pillow-Fights and more action oriented stuff.
