Advertisement
Dipper and Pacifica are now on the outskirts of town, they are now near a town named Martinsville.
"What time is it?" Pacifica asked.
Dipper checks his phone.
"Almost 11 pm," said Dipper.
"Ugh, Serriously, its almost tomorrow and I'm starving," said Pacifica.
"I think there's a diner nearby," said Dipper.
"It could be closed," said Pacifica.
"Most Diners are open 24 hours a day just so drunk people have a place to go get food at 2AM," said Dipper.
Just like that, they find a local diner.
"How do you..."
"My family used to go on Roadtrips a lot," said Dipper.
Dipper and Pacifica walk into to see a 50's style diner, somewhat similar to a Johnny Rockets.
Dipper and Pacifica sit down and our handed two menus.
"What are you going to get?" Dipper asked.
"I don't know something filling we'll be going around for awhile," said Pacifica.
"I'm sorry I have to ask, where are you trying to go?" Dipper asked.
"The one place my dad would never go," said Pacifica, "Malibu, California."
"Why there?" Dipper asked.
"I don't know he hates beautiful things," said Pacifica, "Which is ironic because he buys beauty products for my mom in bulk?"
They then got their food, Pacifica got pancakes while Dipper got a Turkey club sandwich.
After that the check came.
"I got this," said Pacifica.
Pacifica goes throw her bag grabs a hundred dollar bill.
"Are you trying to piss a place that don't take bills over 20 off?" Dipper asked.
"The waitress will keep the change," said Pacifica.
"That's an $82 tip," said Dipper.
"I know Math, I maybe blonde but I'm not dumb," said Pacifica. (words to live by)

The waitress then comes for the check.
"Keep the change," said Pacifica.
"I was already going to I own this place," said the waitress.
As they got up to leave they notices a photo booth looking thing, that read the words, "Karaoke Power."
"Huh most diners usually have Mario game cabinets," said Dipper.
"Wby don't we try it out?" Pacifica asked.
"Are you sure?" Dipper asked.
"Hey doesn't hurt to have a little fun running away," said Pacifica.
Pacifica walks into the booth.
"Welcome to Karaoke Power," said the machine, "Insert $5 to play."
"$5 what a rip," said Pacifica.
Pacifica pokes her head out.
"You wouldn't happen to have $5 on yah?" Pacifica asked.
"What you can't break a $100?" Dipper asked.
"That's littlerally the only king of bills I have," said Pacifica.
Dipper goes into his wallet and pulls out a $5 bill.
"You owe me," said Dipper.
"Deal," said Pacifica.
Pacifica inserts the $5 bill.
"Select your song," said The machine.
Pacifica looks through the song list and chooses one.
"3 2 1, Go," said The machine.

Somewhere in the world there is a father and a mother
And the father is a son, who has a mother
The mother has a daughter who gets married to the brother of a mother
And they all just tryna multiply with one another

It never ends till the end, then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world
Somewhere in the world they think they're working for themselves

And the bank robbed the people, so the people rob the bank
And the police came to get him but they let him get away

"Congrats you got 100%, Great Job," said The Machine.
"Uh Pacifica," said Dipper.
Pacifica walks out of the booth and sees a black car outside.
"Dipper," said Pacifica.
"Yeah?" Dipper asked.
"Run!" said Pacifica.
Dipper and Pacifica run out the backdoor of the diner.

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.
