[Hey, City! You missed this doofus, right?

Sometime in the afternoon on Sunday, there is an Andy sleeping on someone's roof in his pajamas. Since going home, he's slipped right back into his old habits (without much of a choice either) and that includes sleeping in until noon on the weekends.

He's good at being an adult, really.

With a yawn and a stretch, he sits up, running fingers through his absolutely fluffy and messed up bed hair. He shivers in the cold (where did his pile of blankets go?) and takes a really good look at his surroundings.

Oh.

Oh dear.

Thankfully, his phone thing seems to be sitting right beside him and he picks it up, video dialing out.]

Uh... Hey. Anyone know a good way to get down from a roof without breaking anything? I'd try sliding off, but... bad memories, man.

[Bad memories helping his dad reshingle the roof and taking a spectacular dive off the edge. Good thing there had been a garbage can to break his fall that time.]

Can you see a ladder or anything of the sort nearby?

Bad memories?

I think there's...

[The whole scene shakes as he nearly topples over while trying to stand.]

...I can probably try climbing down the waterspout.

Fell off a roof once. It was not fun.

[Bad Luck Brian over here, yep.]

I wouldn't suggest jumping.

Need a lift, baby?

Yeah. Not something I plan on doing. It's kind of... three stories up.

[A Dulcie!!!

Andy looks pretty relieved.]

...If you wouldn't mind, I would be really, really appreciative.

Any balconies?

Just hold still, I won't be a minute.

[She isn't kidding. The next time he turns around she's sitting on the roof next to him.]

How did you end up up here?

Er... Let me check.

[If only it weren't broad daylight, this would be so much easier. Turn into the Jersey Devil, glide down, boom. Done.

Instead he has to lean over the edge of the roof, get vertigo, and reel back.]

...I don't think so.

[Andy nearly takes a tumble off the roof in surprise.

By the way? He is in the most ridiculous pajamas. Flannel bottoms and an over sized Bat Dude™ t-shirt.]

Oh. Hey.

Uh... I dunno. I was asleep in my bed -- in Jersey -- and then I woke up, up here.

[You look very cuddly in them, Andy. She shoots out a hand to grip onto his arm when it looks like he might fall. Come on, baby, none of that please.]

That's weird. I know way more people who end up in the fountain.

I can send someone to get you down.

[GIRL. TOUCHING HIM.

Suddenly, the world is a little more okay.]

Ha. Lucky me? I mean. At least the fountain would be easier, I suppose. I'd be wet, but at least I'd be on the ground.
