Take care.

just in case you havent already heard it from the stan without a six pack

We love you and we hope you have no difficulty getting back to your friends! Also, Ford, I'm sure you're every bit as hot and cool and punk rock as your counterpart ;) shame we didn't have more time to chat

Toby looks like if a goblin and blobfish had a baby, then chucked it down a mountain where it lived on to become a failed Broadway actor in hell.

Hey, even if you aren't "our" Ford, you we're still a desperate person in need and we've been glad to help! I hope everything works out for you, both with defeating Bill and life in general! You Pines can do anything you put your mind to. Who knows, maybe we'll speak again. You really can't tell with this multiverse. 'Til then, stay fantastic!

Short and a mustache sounds like Toby to me.

We'll let the boys in the other dimension know what you're trying to do. Can you think of a safe zone where you might want them to drop off or pick up supplies, via portal, if they can? Someplace out of the way, but not too far?

Don't worry, we're more than happy to mess up Bill's plans and/or murder him whenever we can. We'll be on the lookout.

I’m going to change this connection so I get back to our friends. Hopefully, they weren’t with me up until a point of where I heard someone breaking into the house. 

Okay, but if you aren't trying to do the confining from "this dimension", but setting up the mechanisms inside / from within the Mindscape, maybe? Also, I think something about the weirdness of Gravity Falls (or something Time Baby set up as containment, we're not super-sure about what caused it exactly) kept Bill from escaping a Gravity Falls in one instance we've heard of. And he had physical form at the time, even. There has to be a workable way to do it, I would think.

Trapping Bill inside of something inanimate, and possibly subjected to less than ideal circumstances, is by far a preferable improvement from trapping him inside of someone’s mind. 

Okay, right. Have you tried talking with Kaila? (Boyish Dan's girlfriend?) I think she, and/or her Aunt Nora can astral project. they might be able to help you out somewhat. Maybe not with creating the scientific instrumentation directly, but... maybe the theory?

Well, Bill is in the "general" Mindscape when he's in your dimension without a body to possess. And he's apparently a being of pure energy. I wouldn't call him a ghost, since people can apparently get pulled out of their bodies into the Mindscape too (not being asleep) and then go back into their own bodies later, but... I don't know. Is there any way to notice or detect his presence when he's just... "floating around"? And then mess with his energy while he's not even in anybody at all?

That’s what it was!! Ha!
