[The magitek's pulled back far enough to feature not one, but two members of Audentes... or, rather, one of them striving vainly to nudge his teammate out of the feed. It's the tail end of the struggle, though, and Kung Jin is fighting a losing battle. It takes half a second for Asher Millstone to shove his way into view, taking up half of the screen and speaking up before Jin can truly get a word in.

The law student looks more excited than ever when he starts speaking, and even lifts his arms above his head in a “raise the roof” sort of gesture.]

It’s time to get wiggity wiggity whack, yo!

Don't. [He nearly slaps a hand over his friend's mouth, but reconsiders, elbowing him back instead.] So, Audentes. Since we're almost all set to leave on our next assignment, it's come to our attention that not everyone here is from a world that people like Asher or I consider "modern day".

Whoa, you? Wait a minute. Last I checked, there was nothing normal about you, man. People in your world, like, rip dudes’ spines out through their mouths and crap!

[After he says this, Asher immediately turns from Jin back to the camera, and waves his hands emphatically in its general direction.]

Don’t try that.

[Jin casts a dubious glance at Asher and moves right along in spite of all the interruptions.]

Even if you look the part, you’ve still got to play the part, too. If you're looking for any advice or tips to blend in properly on-planet, we’re pretty much experts-- so let us know if you need a hand.

[The paler of the two pops up right behind him, leaning on the other’s shoulder.]

That’s right, baby! We’ll teach you how to be 90s.

[Asher could be rude, but the fact that he's speaking to a child makes him rethink some things.]

You wanna fit in, or not?

You've read the dossier, I'm guessing. The stakes here are pretty high. You really wanna blow your cover, acting like someone from the future?

[twinpeak]

—I'm not going to blow anything! I'm from 2012, not three thousand, so I basically already fit in.

[ Maybe. ]

[moneyballer]

Can I ask what year you were born?

[Asher looks doubtful. Kids from the 2000s grew up with things like the internet and smartphones, and while Dipper is probably more well-equipped than some of their teammates, blending in may not be as easy as he thinks.]

[twinpeak]

[ Ah, yes, the doubtful look. Dipper's favorite. ]

... 1999.

[moneyballer]

So, you weren't even alive during the 90s and you're still talkin' trash?

[don't look so smug u r talkin 2 a kid!!!! ya bully]

Don't knock it 'til you try it, bro. Who knows! Maybe you'll like Woodhurst better than you think.

[twinpeak]

Hey, I'm sure for the most part, it'll be a mission that feels normal for once. It's just its popular trends that I'm more than willing to ignore.

[look at how distressed he sounds]

But who doesn't love tie-dye?

[#busted]

[twinpeak]

Tie-dye is dead and there's a reason for that.
