Escape from Bloodcraft!

After The Ghost of Greasy's, Pacifica Northwest is settling into her new family, and secretly going through withdrawal from her guilty hobby. When her parents finally decide to drop off some of her belongings, her secret world is unveiled to the Pines - and, in the process, opens up a new level of rivalry and inadequacy in Dipper. Chaos ensues as the video game opens up to a new brand of enemy.
Escape from Bloodcraft! is the second episode of Return to the Falls, and continues to develop the lore from Episode One.
It is followed by Big Bu$ine$$.
===Synopsis===
The story begins with the announcement of a gaming tournament in Gravity Falls.
With Pacifica now moving into the Shack, her family arrives to deliver some of her belongings. It is through this that Dipper and Mabel learn she is not only a gamer, but an acclaimed one in Dipper's favourite video game, [[Bloodcraft: Overdeath.]] 
Dipper begins to get self conscious as he learns his girlfriend doesn't only eclipse him in level, but in skill - as does his sister, despite being brand new to the game. He dedicates himself to late night practicing in Ford's laboratory, using his Grunkle's invention - the Stanford Electric Dynamo. In the process, he gets sucked into the game.
Pacifica, Mabel and Ford follow - only to find that a particularly sinister, unfinished piece of content in the game, Lord Foo Qwall, has kidnapped him, seeking a battle against a champion. Eager to save her partner, and increasingly frustrated at Ford's culture shock, the game is on.

=== References ===
* Pacifica being a secret gamer is referenced in her Shmeb-you-unlocked page, released alongside Lost Legends.
* The concept of being sucked into a video game is largely taken from Jumanji. More plot points of the films were originally intended to be involved in the story.
* Pacifica's closer relationship to her mother is informed by her hugging her for protection during the events of Weirdmageddon. 
* Bloodcraft: Overdeath is largely informed by multiple RPGs and gaming cultures.
* Bogworms are influenced by the Grotworms in Runescape.
* Lord Foo Qwall's name is a thinly veiled statement of Fuck You All. This is influenced by the jokey names, codes and hidden messages often placed in video games during their development, and the first hint that he isn't quite finished. 
* Cockfosters is the name of a North London Suburb, and is pretty damned funny.
* Dinkey Ape is such an obvious reference, it shouldn't even be in this list.
* The audience at the gaming tournament is influenced by Brony culture and Neckbeard / Fedora culture.
* The scenery of Bloodcraft is inspired by the Doom series.
* Kicking ass, drinking Pitt and taking names. And she was all out of Pitt. is a mash up of two lines, one from the 1980s TV series, Hunter and the other from They Live, spoken by the iconic Roddy Piper.
