[Look when you're trying to learn how to use this device thing there are going to be mistakes. This is one of them. Beep beep. Click.]

"I thought he died."

"No, he didn't die. They don't do that kind of shit. It's Happy Days."

[Beep of a button being pressed. Slurping a drink.]

"Well he disappeared."

"Yeah, they call it college. At least in TV land. Either way, after a while it didn't matter."

[More shuffling...and maybe the crinkling of a wrapper...then:]

"You seriously watched Happy Days?"

[eiremagic]

Is he still in the hospital?

[eiremagic]

....what do yeh mean? It's me day off, so I'm at home readin' me work texts.

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

Nah. He's better now. Same here. They do a hell of a job at that hospital.

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

I have only the answers I...have.

You can't really...just pass through here. Not that I've heard of.

audio;

[eiremagic]

Oh, yeh're his friend, yeah?

If he still was I'd put in the Happy Days DVD I got from me boss last year.

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Right. Well, you and your friend are stuck nonetheless.

[orangetoughguy]

I mean my fuckin' phone goes off with some fuckin' party line to a guy I don't even know. Motherfucker I'm tryin' to eat a burger here. How the hell are you people comin' in?

[Was that rehearsed? Maybe.]

[eiremagic]

Yeh're the one on the Network talkin' about Happy Days, boyo.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Stuck?

ACTION

[whitetwoguns]

[Cigarette time. No questions there. He looks at the paper takes a first big puff of nicotine as though it'll help it make any more sense.

He then puts up one hand for a I don't fucking know, he then grabs for the pencil to scrawl Baja Mexico with it's own "??" that's the only reason why this many people would be speaking English. A resort? Fuck, none of this fucking makes sense.

Larry blows smoke to the outside of the booth. Considerate guy that he is.]

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Stuck.

[orangetoughguy]

[Shit. The Network thing is true.

Double shit.]

I got no fucking idea about some Network and a City that's got no fucking name.

[eiremagic]

No one explained this shite to yeh?

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Stuck how?

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Stuck, like, you're in a pocket dimension. The here and now, the City and beach -- really need to get to that beach -- etc., you. are. stuck.

ACTION

[orangetoughguy]

[There's a gesture to the entire diner they're in before he writes:

- needs Mexicans

Next to the Baja Mexico of course.]

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Xander. Can you be straight with me?

If you're fucking high I won't tell anyone.

[orangetoughguy]

Nope.

[eiremagic]

Fuck.

Okay.

This shitehole is called the City. For some reason people end up here, no one knows why. It's sort of a self-contained pit stop; yeh show up, yeh stay a bit, eventually someone yanks yeh back home and supposedly yeh don' miss anythin'.

Which in yehr case means when yeh go home yeh'll end up looking like a sieve, but that's the fuckin' break.

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

I don't get high. I've never gotten high. Don't really know what getting high is like.

So, being straight with you, no.

ACTION

[whitetwoguns]

[Fine, fine. Larry crosses out Mexico several times. Below he writes CANADA. That would explain all of the English speaking. And so far there haven't been any French people but it's a side note for parts of Canada so...could be? Right?

Why didn't he think Canada before?]

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

Yeah.

[That's his story and he's sticking to it.]

That's nice of you. Maybe you can take a rain-check.

[For forever, because they've got to get out of here.]

audio;

[eiremagic]

[PAUSE]

I know yeh're patronizin' me, yeh know. Just because I'm nineteen doesn' mean I'm stupid.

audio

[whitetwoguns]

Huh. That so?

[Keep it cool, real fucking cool.]

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

[Shifting in his seat again.

Kids these days.]
