So, is this the part where I say "we're not in Kansas anymore"? Sorry to disappoint, but I think it was pretty clear when I took a dunk in your merry and magical fountain about five minutes ago. Way to make a guy feel right at home.

What I'm wondering now, though, is who here has information beyond "we're all trapped in this knockoff city with a bad sense of humor". The ticking is a nice touch, too. I feel like it almost calls for a Peter Pan joke, but I'm not really jiving on that right now.

Anyway, if you have information, I might be able to offer something in return. The "something" depends on what you give me, so make it good. Knock knock jokes need not apply.

And hey, if you have any spare clothes? I'd be really grateful. I think I've flashed about twelve people and scarred a few small children. Whatever brought us here picked a fantastic time to nab me.

There is no good news to give. Except that someone may have clothes?

[give her a second to figure out who this is. ]

Beggars can't be choosers. I'm thinking that's the best news I'll get all day. I flash three more kids, they'll officially deem me a citywide menace.

[ jason's still trying to figure out what makes it tick, so she's got a good head start. ]

I would not worry. There was a traffic accident when I arrived, and I am still free to walk the streets. I think perhaps new arrivals warrant a little strangeness. Especially those who come alone.

If you are still near the fountain, I can bring you clothes. :)

Well, the City can certainly be like a crocodile from time to time, but don't give it more ideas.

[abscind]

Tick-tock.

As long as there's not some guy with a hook and a grudge against a gang of kids around.

[brobeforehos]

Not that I know of? Sorry I can't be of more help with information, but it kind of looks like you've found a lot out. Impressive, for a semi-naked wet guy on his first day.

[punchedhitler]

The Welcome Center tends to have clothes.

What were you doing that you came in without clothes?

[abscind]

I was having dinner with my insurance agent. Being in the buff gets me a lower rate.

[ sorry, steve. ]

[punchedhitler]

You really shouldn't let your insurance agent push you around that way.

[Oh my god Jason he lives with Bucky Barnes you are no match]

Well, come now. Share with the class if you're going to taunt us with that last bit.

[JOKING. Merlin's beard.]

[ shun away! he's in it for the long haul. ]

I charge for ganders, you know. A guy's gotta pay the bills somehow.

[hexuality]

[FINE.]

Do you charge for talking, too?

[studmuffin]

you already covered all the good stuff!

[ The fountain, the name of the City, the ticking, the nakedness. ]

[abscind]

I know, I know. It's kind of a talent. Impressive, right? Now that I've got all the "good things" [ aha, "good things", sure. ] out of the way, you wanna give me a taste of the unsavory?

[studmuffin]

there's an underground that might have monsters in it. we get cursed like literally every other day. also the no escape thing.

This place as a sense of humor.

[ when john arrived, he was covered in blood, and with big rifles in both hands. he just got out of a zombie fight, you see, and that was fun. ]

I have clothing to spare if you still need them.

[abscind]

Turns out I've got a friend from home, so I'm good on the clothes front.

[ wow, they should start a club. jason was just standing over his overdosed date's body after a shower with gotham's finest knocking down the door. ]

So, about that sense of humor... I'm guessing this place has a history of picking the most inopportune moments.

[olduvai]

That, and I'm pretty sure a few people have fallen *into* the fountain.

[thenormalsquint]

Sorry. I gave back all the men's clothes I borrowed when I showed up here naked too.

[Only she's a woman who didn't have much of a choice when she was begging.]

[abscind]

Damn. To think, I could have had company. Almost sounds like this place is trying to jump-start a nudist colony.

It wouldn't be the first time. We've had no-clothes curse days. But once you've seen one penis, you've seen then all.

[stelecharm]

I can't be certain, but I think you gave yourself the introduction speech. If you want more information than what people will give you, try the Welcome Centre.

[abscind]

I'm starting to feel like a seasoned pro.

I might hit it up later, but I figure there's only so many tourist brochures I can collect.

[bettercallit]

Yeah, that ticking? Stops being funny pretty quick.

And if you still need clothes, I've got a towel you can borrow to get you somewhere that might have some your size.

[ Text ]

[abscind]

To be honest, it's not really my favorite thing now. Is there a way to make it stop?

I'm good on the clothes front. I've got a friend with either clothes connections or deft hands. Maybe (probably) both. And I came with a towel, but my little adventure into the fountain negated that fact pretty quick.
