"Hey there, teenage Baltimore!" Corny Collins shouts energetically into the camera. "Don't touch that dial, cuz it's time for the Corny Collins show! Brought to you by Ultra Clutch hairspray

Link is frightened to walk through the lobby now. He avoids it at all costs. But this time, as he's sneaking by, he stops. And freezes. And runs out to the lobby.

"... Corny!" It is an exclamation full of relief and thankfullness.

[onlythingbetter]

Oh good, someone he knows. "Link! Great, maybe you can explain where the heck we've ended up here?" If Link's here, maybe the rest of the studio is around here somewhere, too.

His smile falters.

"Well, uh, I can't. I mean, no one can." He puts on a false grin to make it seem better (a trick he probably learned from Corny). "But this place is real swell, you know. Lots of people and anything we want."

Scott will be standing there, to the side, staring (without expression) at Corny, trying to make sense of a man dancing like this in the lobby. Until he realizes that this place makes no sense.

"Hi," he says, stepping around so he and Corny can look at each other.

[onlythingbetter]

Corny tilts his head a little at the new guy with the snazzy shades. There's a familiarity to him that unsettles Corny a little. "Hey, man, swingin' shades! Where are we?"

[xboylikemex]

Scott feels that same sense of familiarity, and he comes to the conclusion that it's going to be very hard to be patient with this man.

"I have no idea."

Here comes a blue woman, looking at him enigmatically.

Lily and Anna would both have fun with this one, but she's been weary of living in other skins, so here is Raven, in blue.

"Lost, handsome?" She's leaning against a pillar, observing. Very amused.

[onlythingbetter]

... blue person. Blue woman, more precisely, though Corny's not sure that matters as much as the fact that she's blue. "A... little, yeah. That's an interesting get-up you have there."

[ds_mystique]

"Thanks." She twirls around the column, easily - there's a grace to her that's inhuman, that's for sure. "Just got here, didn't you?"

[onlythingbetter]

"Sure did!" His grin is frozen on his face, and he looks a little like he got hit upside the head with a brick; stunned but trying to push through whatever the hell this is. "You been here a while?"

[onlythingbetter]

"Baltimore!" he smiles, snapping back to his Corny Collins Show persona (it's easier to feel confident and less lost, that way). "How about you?"

[onlythingbetter]

"I bet it is! Where is here, though?" Corny Collins is not a man who gets scared very often (a few conversations with a girl or two he's had in the past have sure made him nervous -- but nevermind that), but he can feel a faint prickling of fear creeping along the back of his neck.

"Richard?" Here's Lois blinking and staring a little, because really, she wasn't expecting this. "What are you --" She trails off, though, as she's never seen Richard wear a suit like that. "You're not Richard, are you."
