[Oh, Andy, you poor baby. This is not your day.

Andy limps down the street of the square, wheeling a rather beaten up and broken bicycle with him (he doesn't look much better, bike helmet hanging on only by the chinstrap).

All he had wanted to do was stop a bank heist, but instead, he had peddled head first into a wall and ended up... wherever here is.

With a sigh of defeat, he plops himself down onto a curb, bike falling next to him. Maybe he's hallucinating from the concussion. Maybe he's in a coma and this is all a dream.

Yeah. This is totally a dream.

He mutters to himself:] Aha, yeah, brain. This is a good one. I can wake up now, okay?

Eh, he's a jerk. Tends to be stuck in some asylum or another these days. One too many run-ins and eventually someone realizes they're being an idiot and should tighten up security.

[A pretty verbal ehhhhhh shrug.] Seems to be, yeah. Meanwhile, this place isn't terrible, at least. If I'm going to be stuck in another universe, I'm glad it isn't one where someone immediately tries to kill me.

[keepinitsaucy]

At least you're looking on the bright side of things? I actually think you're the first person that hasn't freaked me out about this place yet.

And, uh, I hope it stays that way. The no one trying to kill you here thing. [Trying to be supportive, go!]

[hexappeal]

I think in terms of "what would I want to hear," I guess. Not that it isn't funny to completely freak people out. I'm just not in a cruel mood, lucky for you.

Thanks! I hope no one tries to kill you, either! [The most reassuring person here, clearly.]

In their defense, I guess it's not that hard to do right now.

Thanks.

Wait --

[keepinitsaucy]

That's not something that happens a lot here, right?

[hexappeal]

I've only been here a few weeks and I haven't taken notice of that sort of thing, so I'm going to say no.

[keepinitsaucy]

...Awesome.

So you're pretty new here, too, then? That sucks.

I'm Andy, by the way. Don't think I said.

[hexappeal]

Yeah, I am. It doesn't seem to be a bad place, though I'd prefer not to be trapped, you know?

Good to meet you, Andy. I'm Zatanna.

[keepinitsaucy]

Right?! I mean, an extra-dimensional or whatever vacation would be cool, but I want to go home.

[hexappeal]

Or at least know the option's available. Maybe some long-distance alternate reality phone calls, while they're at it...

[keepinitsaucy]

Wouldn't that be nice? At least I could let my family know I'm okay and all that.

[hexappeal]

Haven't asked anyone about that sort of thing. Might be a way around it. I like to think all options are available, even if they seem closed.
