Whoah

[The voice broadcasting over the 'gears is impressed and awed and a little overwhelmed. This is pretty amazing! Of course it helps that Jimmy's still a bit blotto from his most recent binge with Ima, and the shock of waking up here has worn some. Where is Ima, anyway? He blinks into the screen, eyes bloodshot red but expression one of wonder and curiosity. She couldn't have gotten far - she didn't move fast. It never occurs to him that he's on his own here.

A lifetime of science fiction comics and serials has prepared Jimmy to figure out the broadcasting feature of his 'gear relatively easily.]

I mean whoah. Look I've heard of crazy trips before, but this takes the cake. The colors, the music, the people.... Who was that broad that said she was my mom? That lady was not my mom. What kind of sicko tells random strangers they're their mother?

[That's a sensitive subject for Jimmy.]

This little guy with me's crazy, though! He looks like a dinosaur or something. Is he? I mean, hey, weirder things, am I right? I never had a pet before, couldn't have one back home. I mean there was the camp dogs, but they weren't pets.

[He turns the 'gear to show a Cubone sitting not far from his feet before swinging it back to himself.]

So what the hell is this place? I feel like I woke up and hey, suddenly I'm Captain Video. But all that stuff about UFOs and aliens landing in New Mexico...that's just bull, right? This is like some kind of...fancy new theme park? I read they were building one out in California next year. We get one down here, too?

By the way, I kind of lost...well, I guess I'm kinda lost. How the hell do I get back to Jupiter from here?

[It doesn't even look like Florida, it's got to be some kind of crazy theme park. Right?]

I dunno, she seems to get by on her own pretty well. S'sad though.

As for the Florida part...

_{[Okay she could break this the easy way or the hard way. ... This guy seems pretty chill (although... 'toots'?). Let's see how the hard way goes.]}

You're not in Florida anymore, Dorothy.

And there's no ruby slippers around to take you back, so... pretty damn far.

Sorry.

[Well, that says it all for Jimmy.]

Fu... [He trails off into a garbled noise of frustration.]

So is there a wizard at the end of this road, or am I seriously shit out of luck?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

No wizard, m'fraid. Not even a fake one who's actually just a whiny old guy in a curtain.

At least none that anybody's found yet.

You might be here for awhile.

And by 'a while' you mean 'you're not going home', don't you?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Not necessarily.

You could go home four years from now, or you could go home next week. It's anybody's guess.

Either way, when you DO get back, it'll be like you never went anywhere.

Jesus.

[He doesn't even know what to say to that.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, it's... I know it's kinda overwhelming.

You're handling it better than some people do, though.

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

Kinda? Give the gal a prize for her powers of putting shit mildly.

Yeah, well. Wait till I sober up completely.

Word of advice, try and make sure you find an actual ROOF to weather out the hangover under, because the only thing worse than having a hangover is waking up IN THE WOODS with a hangover, surrounded by curious brightly-colored animals.
