My Research Partner

I have been logging my unusual findings in Gravity Falls for quite some time now. However, I've neglected to log the finding of my current research partner! Who would have thought that someone else would be conducting the same research as I in this town? Not me, that's for certain.

My first sighting of him was in the local library. Admittedly, I have a habit of borrowing an, in his words, "egregious" amount of books at one time-something the librarian, Mrs. Softcovur, never seems to mind, but M certainly does.

Our first interaction was over [crossed out: several] an overdue book. M is a stickler for punctuality, something I often lack in. Of course, I apologized and assured him I would bring it in tomorrow as soon as possible. All he had to say was "bless your heart," which I've come to find out means the exact opposite depending on the context it's used in.

Our first meeting outside of his workplace occurred in one of the many forests of Gravity Falls and gave me quite the scare! His footsteps are...eerily silent. It just so happened that he was conducting a bit of fieldwork in the same area I was. Attempting to, at least. M had his nose buried in a leatherbound journal littered with sticky notes and bumped right into me! The scream he let out could put a banshee to shame, truly.

I couldn't believe my ears when he explained that he was researching the anomalies of the town! How wrong I was to think that I was alone in my endeavors. With much enthusiasm, I asked him to join me in my own research. I'll admit that it took a bit of convincing but, luckily, he agreed.

These past few weeks have been remarkably insightful. M has ethological knowledge that is not only intriguing but proving to be quite helpful, at least for the more beastial oddities. I'm even more optimistic about my Grand Unified Theory of Weirdness now that I've got the aid of someone with similar passions. He insisted that I needn't credit him for his contributions but I'll have none of that. Together, I believe we can make history! His efforts won't be in vain, not on my watch

Notes Next To Ford's Drawings

Rocks: I can't remember a time he hasn't had at least one rock in his pocket. I've started a collection of rocks he's given me.

Portrait: Bears a striking resemblance to George Harrison sans mustache! [In Tendrilis: "You're a terrible flirt. ~ M"]

Pile of Hair: Sheds like a DOG!!! [crossed out: Possible lycanthrope gene?]

Sketchbook: He's so guarded about the damn thing!
