Hi guys! So this is just sort of an idea I had, but it's still in the developmental stages. I hope you like it! It was inspired by Gravity Falls, Welcome to Night Cake, and (I have no regrets) an island on Poptropica. Enjoy!
Welcome to Summer Falls, Washington
Our quaint little town has been a home for many people for many years. We've got everything you could need! A school, a fancy restaurant, a movie theatre, a radio station, and a beautiful array of waterfalls on the edge of town that earned us our name.
The waterfall and the forest around it has always been our pride and joy. We make sure protecting and conserving nature has always been a collective town effort. But lately, things have changed.
There are lights in the forest- glowing orbs that seem to have no source. Not to mention the shadows. Citizens have been seeing weird things coming from the forest, and nobody knows what they are. Things are changing in Summer Falls. There's no way to describe it, but we're changing, and we're scared.
Summer Falls is a quiet town in Washington state that prides itself on it's waterfalls and forest, but when paranormal things start happening, nobody really knows what to do. The people are changing. The forest is glowing, and the shadows are growing. What's happening to our little home? The answer lies in the forest. Join the citizens of Summer a Falls and find out!

Name: Castor Futago Age: 15 Appearance: Tall, skinny, lanky, with pale skin and lots of jet-black hair. One eye is dark brown, the other is strikingly hazel, both behind glasses. Almond-shaped eyes. Other: Of Japanese descent. President of the school robotics club and AV club. With all of his knowledge in the technology department, he is a talented coder and hacker. He has an older brother named Mitt. Personality-wise, he has a sense of duality that seems almost as if he is two people in one. Speaks with a strong lisp. Works as tech help in the radio station and gets paid to do odd technologically-based jobs all over town. His father is a beekeeper, but he is allergic to honey.
Name: Mitt Futago Age: 17 Appearance: Very tall and thin, with a shaggy mess of jet-black hair that covers his eyes. So much, in fact, that his eye color is basically a mystery. The fact that he wears shades adds to this. Sometimes wears 3-D glasses. Other: Of Japanese descent. The older brother to Castor Futago. Lacks interest in anything his brother enjoys, preffering to spend time on his skateboard or drawing. However, they do share a great interest in video games. Mitt is excellent at them. After an accident, he was suddenly diagnosed as bipolar, ADHD, and dyslexic,amongst other issues. He speaks with a rather loud voice and is prone to bouts of extreme anxiety and hysteria, which his brother takes care of.

Castor sighed, opening the door to the radio station. They'd called while he was in the middle of losing to Mitt in yet another MMORPG battle. Something about a crazy glitch in the microphone systems. He'd brought his small case of screwdrivers and extra cables. It'd been a while since he'd done actual handyman work rather than coding. "Hello? Anyone there?"

Heidi leaned out of the booth upon hearing the door open. "In here!" She waved. "Thanks for coming! The microphones have been shorting out lately. None of us have any idea what it is, but it might be something with the soundboard."

"I'll check it out." He followed her inside, taking off his jacket and draping it on a chair. There was a strange smell. Smoke. He glanced at her, eyebrows knit. "Whoa. What did you manage to do to that thoundboard?"

"Oh! Um, well the smoking thing just started," she explained, turning on the fan sitting on the desk. "But it just kind of... Stopped during the middle of a broadcast the other day, and then there was this loud thud. There's always something going on with this old tech. I'm sure you've been down here before." She leaned against the desk, gesturing to the soundboard across the room. "I'm Heidi, by the way. Nice to meet you!"

He nodded, fiddling with a circuit board he had removed. "Oh, yeah. I've seen you here and around school. I'm Castor." He frowned, staring at the circuit board and studying a second one. "Okay, that's just freaky."

He glanced at her, holding up the circuit boards. They were obviously pretty badly damaged, even dented in some places. "These things are completely useless. They shouldn't be able to work at all. But your machinery still does. It should be impossible."

"That's... That's really weird. Maybe we should test it now? That board controls the PA too, and if it still let's the mics run...."

He paused, staring at the microphone for a moment. "Humor me. Try it without the boards at all."

Heidi pressed a few buttons and picked up the mic. "Testing the PA system. This is a test," she started, resisting the urge to start beat-boxing. (As one does during a mic test.)

"I can't believe it," he mumbled, taking off his glasses. "This is... this should be impossible. It's actually working!" Whenever he was surprised, or confused, or dumbfounded, his lisp became all the stronger. Now was no exception. "How doeth thith happen?! THITH GOETH AGAINTHT EVERY LAW OF TECHNOLOGY EVER!"
