was I outta my head, was I outta my mind, how could I have ever been so blind?

Unrelated to anything, Ray has not been feeling well of late. He's been attributing mounting headaches and fatigue to culture shock and stress over trying to establish himself in a new time and place. Happily the technological differences haven't been too bad since his home dimension would be considered advanced here, so that makes it all about even. Still, the news keeps harping on something about a bad economy and job hunting is a pain and a half even at the best of times.

Still. Headaches. They're getting annoying and are actually beginning to make daily functions difficult. Spotty vision, nauseating pain, yeah, these buggers are intense. Still, a couple of Advil is keeping his current headache at bay for the most part. He's not going to let a little thing like cranial discomfort ruin his outing with Aubrey. They're hunting for comic and hardware stores, darnit!

Or...not.

A sharp, stabbing sensation jabs through the medications dampening effects, jarring enough to send Ray stumbling against the wall. He stands there for a minute, clinging to the flat vertical surface trying to keep himself upright and then...

There is the sound of a geek hitting the floor.

Ray might have to take a rain check on that outing.
