[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

[Abed nods, taking this completely in stride.]

Sounds like something written by Douglas Adams.

[ Well, that wasn't the reaction he expected, but he'll roll with it. ] Less begonias and whales, generally. But similar concept.

[metaman]

Too bad. The whale was my favorite part.

I take it we're all stuck here until they run out of possible plotlines for us and send us back.

[leathered]

That seems to be the case. You seem experienced with the concept.

[metaman]

That's the way all tv shows work.

[leathered]

[ He shakes his head, expression suddenly grin. ] This isn't telly or a game. Don't get into that mindset. You've only one life.

[metaman]

[Abed tilts his head and studies him dispassionately.]

So less Joss Whedon, more David Simon.

[leathered]

I'm not one much for American television, but yes, I think you've got it. So keep an eye out, all right?

[metaman]

[Abed nods.]

You remind me of Inspector Spacetime.

[leathered]

[ The Doctor does not seem particularly pleased by the comparison. ] Silly name, innit?

[metaman]

Says the man called "the Doctor."

[leathered]

That's a perfectly good name! Worked just fine for 900 years, I'm not changing it now.

[metaman]

But you're not actually a doctor.

[leathered]

Depends on your definition. Haven't gone to any university you would have heard of. But I find experience counts for a lot.

[metaman]

If I had a heart attack, would you be able to perform triple bipass surgery?

[he's not being snarky - that's genuine curiosity there.]

[leathered]

[ The Doctor's not quite sure what to make of that. ]

You've only one heart, how can you perform a triple bypass?

[metaman]

I don't know, but a real doctor would.

[leathered]

Anyway, sounds boring. I'd rather be a Doctor of interesting things.

[metaman]

Me too.
