[Abed comes crawling out of a building, wearing a blanket tunic and a pillow tied to his head, while carrying another pillow with him.

He stands up and looks around him, puzzled. He looks behind him, but he doesn't see the main corridor of the United Forts of Pillowtown -- only a cafe with some very confused patrons.

He looks down at the pillow in his arms.]


Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Greendale any more

Action

[heart_at_stake]

[Abed isn't the only one with a blanket over him. Of course in Spike's case it has more to do with not wanting to get all crispy. There might be a bit of smoke around the edges, but he's leaning back into the shade as much as he can as he eyes Abed with an arched brow.]

Are you supposed to be disguised as a bed then?

[Abed's nostils flare at he gives Spike a shocked look. It's Spike. SPIKE.

Internal fanboy moment commence.]

Action

You know people with pillows strapped to their heads shouldn't give regular non-pillow wearing folks surprised looks or throw stones. The stone throwing bit's usually good advice.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Mindy's out, shopping bag in hand. She's just purchased what she needs to make a model of Hello Kitty riding a dragon and she almost trips over the guy with a pillow on his head. She watches as he talks to the pillow in his arms and sort of snorts. Great. A loony. That's the only explanation.]

Do you hit your head a lot? Is that why a pillow is tied to it?

let me know if this is okay; this is the most he will 4th wall her

[metaman]

This is my helmet.

[He tilts his head and examines the child quizzically. You can almost hear the bzzzz bzzzz as he searches his internal databank.]

Hit-Girl?

[He frowns and looks around. This isn't New York City.]

You don't belong here.

hee! it's perfect!

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[What. What the fuck? What the fuck did he just say? Mindy's eyes widen and then she calms herself. Okay, because the City is weird, she's going to assume this is the City's doing. Maybe he was here when the other she was here?]

Tell no one.

[Yes, dude. That is a threat under those words.]

Dude, no one belongs here.

Not quite. Feel free to try again, though.

[metaman]

Now I know this is a dream.

[signatures]

How do you know that?

[dreaminday]

[ This cat likes the idea if Pillowtown and is staring up at his hat in anticipation. ]

[metaman]

[Abed stares down at the cat. STARING CONTEST.]

[dreaminday]

[ Cat stares back just as intently! ]

[loonylovegood]

Is the sky falling? Is that why you've tied a pillow to your head?

[She looks up at the sky.]

Should I do the same?

[action]

[metaman]

[By this point, Abed is pretty sure this is either a dream, or a weird crossover like Batman versus Predator. Though strictly speaking, it was more similar to All Star Comics #3 in how it brought a random and diverse group of people together in a vaguely cohesive whole, but while National Comics and American Publications were separate companies, they shared the DC imprint, while Batman versus Predator was a true intercompany crossover.

Either way, he's rolling with it.]

The pillow is part of my uniform. I'm the general of the United Forts of Pillowtown.

[action]

[loonylovegood]

[As for Luna? She has no idea what's going on, but she'll just roll with it. Things are bound to work out in the end.]

Oh, I've never heard of such a place. Is it in America?

[threeolives]

[ Pepper tries not to judge-- after all, knowing the City it's entirely possible that pillows and blankets are the height of fashion wherever this guy's from. Still, he has the look of a new arrival, so she decides to put her shopping on hold to try and help. ]

No, you're not. You're somewhere called the City.

[metaman]

[2008 Iron Man Virginia "Pepper" Potts. This place is getting awesome.]

The City. [He thinks this over.] I like it. It has an ominous ring to it. Like the Matrix. The Cell. The library.

[threeolives]

[ 2012 Avengers Virginia "Pepper" Potts, fyi. ]

...Right. Ominous. You could call it that, some days. Today doesn't seem so bad.

[countrydoctor]

Did you hit your head, son?

['Cause McCoy has seen some strange in his time, but this kid is strange].

action;

[metaman]

Dr. McCoy!

[Excite!]

No, my head is fine.

action;

[countrydoctor]

I didn't know I was famous around here.

[If McCoy hadn't been here before, he might be concerned. As it is, he's mostly amused. Mostly. Some bourbon would go a long way towards his amusement levels.]

And you know you've got a pillow on your head?

[thereisnotry]

Interesting this is, this fashion you wear. Common with your people, is it?

[metaman]

[Abed's brain? Officially broken with fanboy joy.

The only sound he's capable of making at this moment is a high pitched keening.]

[leathered]

Well, you seem well-prepared.

[ The Doctor was walking by, and he understands weird customs, okay, but that doesn't mean he can't be amused. ]

[metaman]

That was the intention.

[He examines the man quizzically.]

You look familiar.
