[The feed shows a good shot of the bathroom door slightly ajar, steam billowing into the hallway and the sound of the shower running in the background. A familiar voice is heard calling to someone from within the room.]

Hey, Jess. How're those cookies coming?

[No answer, just more water running.]

Jess?

[The shower shuts

Uh dude, you might want to put a shirt on. You're totally broadcasting right now.

Who's Jess? Is she new in the City?

[srsbusinessk]

I don't even know how this thing got here, let alone turned on.

[Yeah, he's clothed now. And terribly confused. :C]

No, she's. She's my girlfriend. We've been living together for almost a year now, and we've been in Palo Alto for a lot longer than that.

[Who are all you people? 8|]

[totallyinaband]

You've never mentioned her before.

Palo Alto? Is that in the States somewhere?

[srsbusinessk]

I've never even met you before, man.

It's a college town, California. Stanford?

[Please don't tell him he's actually in some magical alternate dimension bullshit.]

[totallyinaband]

It's Stephen. We met my first day in the city. You gave me a city guide explained everything... We both got really wasted at the Blue Light.

Are you okay, man?

[srsbusinessk]

I'd be okay if I knew what the Hell was going on here.

[Huff.]

You said a guide. Do you still have it?

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, hold on a second, man.

[Stephen's device makes some clicky-noises as he digs up the file]

[Upload] The City Guide

There you go, dude. Hope it helps.

[srsbusinessk]

[He's just gonna take a second to read through it. Why does it seem familiar?]

...So you're telling me there's no way to leave?

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, pretty much.

You know, You're taking this a lot better than I did when I first arrived.

[srsbusinessk]

That's because this shit isn't exactly new to me. I thought I'd finally gotten away from it.

[totallyinaband]

Oh. Do you get bouts of amnesia often?

[srsbusinessk]

No, I. [Huff] I don't know. Maybe this is one of those "curses" or something.

[totallyinaband]

What's the last thing you remember?

[srsbusinessk]

I was taking a shower in my apartment while Jess was in the kitchen making cookies.

[totallyinaband]

That your girlfriend?

[srsbusinessk]

Yeah. She was trying to hype me up for my interview tomorrow. Which I guess I'm never gonna get to.
