[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?"

That's so. Like I told your friend. You're stuck.

ACTION

[orangetoughguy]

[Freddy pulls out a half eaten strip of bacon from his nearly finished burger. The look he gives Larry is: "Does that look Canadian to you?"

True facts though, Freddy's never been to Canada.]

[whitetwoguns]

I don't got no reason to patronize a young lady working in a hospital. Says something about her brains and what she's made out of, especially given that most girls her age are working as waitresses.

[And we all know how that goes.]

Figured he should do the polite thing and make plans since he missed out. 'Scuse me for sayin'.

audio;

[eiremagic]

....

Well, yeh're gonna have a lot of time to show him Happy Days.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

[Mutter mutter, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. Sigh.]

Okay. Tell me more about this pocket dimension. Are we talking like a subspace or a multiverse? Earth-616? Give me somethin' to work with.

[orangetoughguy]

[He doesn't like the sound of that AT ALL. Now he's just sort of staring at the phone. Staring. Staring some more. Maybe he's sending looks at Larry too, before he speaks.]

Shit.

ACTION

[whitetwoguns]

[Larry just shakes his head. When they can talk freely he'll explain that Canadian bacon is called back bacon, and bacon is something completely different.

And fuck if a burger is an indicator of anywhere you are when it's only called a burger.

He drops the colored pencil and crosses his arms, smoking a few moments. Listening. Whoever the clown is on the other line, he doesn't know how annoying he is. That could get a person killed these days. Not by Larry though. He's no hot head. And he takes time to remind himself. Getting fucking worked up when that's the last thing that needs to be done. He's not fucking Blonde. No way.

Taking up the pencil again he leans forward to write dial for an operator?]

[eiremagic]

Okay, so, every few days there's a curse. No tellin' if one'll hit yeh or not, but they make yeh do stupid shite or turn yeh into stupid shite. Yeh sort of have to live through them.

audio

[whitetwoguns]

[To a greater degree this is like computer talk. He can hear what is said, it processes but fuck if it doesn't make a bit of sense.]

How do you know that for sure?

ACTION

[orangetoughguy]

[Speaking of the bacon, he totally shoves it into his mouth while listening. Then he draws an arrow from 'operator' to 'Eden' whose information matches Xander's. The advantage with Eden being if she's full of shit, Freddy knows where they can confront her.]

[orangetoughguy]

[Rubbing eyes so hard.]

What? Curses like what? Fucking voodoo shit?

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

People I trust and complete strangers telling me that.

[eiremagic]

No like....turnin' into shite. Like maybe an animal. Or gettin' younger or older, almost everyone gets that one eventually. Or fallin' in love with someone yeh don' know.

That's the one that happened yesterday.

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

It's like -- parallel to what you know. It's not Earth and it's not any other world these people come from. It's its own...entity, existing on its own pulling people from their timelines and worlds.

[orangetoughguy]

[That explains the streets looking like Miami on spring break.]

Okay. Okay, I see. Fastest way out? Don't suppose you know one?

ACTION

[whitetwoguns]

[Alright, a shred of logic. Finally.

He taps ash onto one of the empty places for lack of an ashtray. Shit, this will be a mess to clean up. And they'll have to eat and run. No tip today, waitress. It'd make Larry feel like a heel if he didn't think he was dealing with a huge conspiracy.

Since Freddy is still on the line he listens intently.]

[eiremagic]

No way out.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

[When he thinks about it like a comic book it makes so much fucking sense. Unbelievable fucking sense.]

How do you know all this if you've been in town for a day?

[orangetoughguy]

Fuck.

[Maybe she can hear the smoke streaming out of his mouth when he says that too.]

[eiremagic]

That's why I gave yeh a packet of food, yeh know. No money, no place to stay, at least I didn' want yeh to starve.

audio

[whitetwoguns]

You don't seem worried in the slightest.

[You smug son of a bitch.]

[orangetoughguy]

Yeah, I mean thanks for that.

[More bridge pinching.]

You got any idea where a guy can get money around here?

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

You can convince him.

[There are quite a few episodes...]

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, things happen. Magical, demonic, superhuman things. I understand the concept.

[eiremagic]

Usually people get jobs. Unless yeh're underage.
