[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?"

[He has to take a moment to think if she's being serious or if this is a hint or hell maybe both.]

That happen often?

I don't think that particular curse has recurred City-wide, though... Well, once a month, there's a weekend where a number of different curses affect different people unpredictably. I've seen it crop up then.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

Curses... Sorry this is kind of a lot to have sinking in all at once.

[as_damaged]

It does all sound fairly unbelievable. There's no real way to prepare for it, you really do need to experience some of the stranger ones to get a feel for what the City can do.

[orangetoughguy]

How stranger is stranger?

audio;

[as_damaged]

It's hard to know where to begin.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

I can't say you don't know how to wind a guy up.

Has anyone sent you the Guide? It's out of date, but probably a bit better at explaining things than I am.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

There's a guide?

[That's a big old NOPE.]

audio;

[as_damaged]

Maybe people have forgotten about it, since it hasn't been updated in some time... Still, it's a start.

[Attached to this is the guide, which I am too lazy to go dig up for reals.]

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

[Give him a moment. He's looking...he's looking...he's...]

I gotta read all this?

[There's a laugh here though because he knows it would be a Good Idea to read the guide.]

audio;

[as_damaged]

I guess it depends on how much you like surprises.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

[Another laugh.]

That's a hard situation.

audio;

[as_damaged]

You'll get the hang of the place.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

Where were you before this place got a hold on you anyway?

audio;

[as_damaged]

New Jersey. I work at Princeton-Plainsboro.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

I ain't ever been but I hear a lot about Jersey. Probably different from LA. Maybe.

audio;

[as_damaged]

Fairly different, I'd guess. I'm originally from Chicago.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

What's that like? You miss it?

audio;

[as_damaged]

Sure, I miss it sometimes, but I like my job in Jersey.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

That's the best you can ask for right? Lovin' what you do. Of course bein' good at it's a perk, or is it the other way around?

audio;

[as_damaged]

Well, I think it would be awful to have a knack for something you hated doing.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

It happens all the time. Lucky that's not the case for you.
