( Abed's mental state leading up to this )

[Abed is standing on the ledge of the fountain. He's wearing a top hat and sporting a cane, along with his usual jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers.

He sings.]

One long stay in the mystery City
One long stay, filled with so much to do
Every few days, a new curse hits the City
Sometimes a fun one, and sometimes a glum one
But you'll make it through!

We're told it's run by Deities
But the Welcome Center's by Penny
Pizza's free on Tuesdays all year long.

Everyone gets a network device
Completely free! Can't beat the price!
Get comfy 'cause you'll probably stay for long ~

I want to be in this -

[He's surprisingly athletic and dances gracefully on the ledge. But some prankster decides it'd be a great idea to hit his leg.

SPLASH! Abed goes tumbling into the water.]

Good afternoon, City.

I've become aware that there are a number of individuals present who have a certain interest in science and engineering. I happen to have a personal project upon which I am about to embark, and I thought that it might hold some interest for those who are so inclined.

I was fortunate enough, upon entering the City, to arrive in an experimental vehicle of mine. Less fortunately, it was badly damaged by a bolt of lightning immediately prior to my arrival and subsequently by its unanticipated arrival - the impact, specifically. The vast majority of its functionality has since been restored - though, I suspect due to the controlled and likely artificial nature of our present dimension, it no longer serves its intended purpose.

In my own reality, it had been modified to fly as well. To be perfectly candid, after the recent business with flight here, it seems as if having that capability at hand would hardly be ill-advised. I have not yet restored this functionality and, as the technology behind it is beyond the overall state of advancement in the City, I thought it may be of interest to those here. The circuitry controlling the car's ability to fly has been essentially destroyed, so my current intention is to remove, analyze, and rebuild it.

So! If there are others who would share an interest in reverse-engineering and replicating this technology, I would certainly welcome collaboration. Undoubtedly, this task would be accomplished much more quickly with the gifted assistance of those in the City.

[He might also like the company, truth be told. Damn friends got him used to it - first Marty back home, then everyone he'd met here. And now a good number of them have left.]

Happy birthday to Eden.

Can I tell your fortune, City?


[ooc: so - Eden's fae side woke up for the day. She may tell your fortune but it will probably be bullshit, just saying. If you want her to say something true, just let me know!]

I've been thinking about some things for a while now. Trying to remember what Katan told me, but there's a lot of stuff I just can't recall. And there was something about some guy getting turned into a horse on the carousel.

Some of you have been here a long time, so tell me, you seen any attempts to fight the deities in the past? Anything of interest?
