Bret had thought this third Conchord business was going to finally be over, and the trouble he just knew was coming was going to be averted. He had trusted Jemaine would finally end it and get rid of Todd. What actually happened, though, was anything but"Well, you see, while I had him in a headlock, he sort of explained why he thought you shouldn't ( Read more... )

Maureen had been playing pool when the guy had suddenly landed in the middle of the rec room. Accompanied by some rather cool music, though.

She took a shot and then blew the end of the pool cue before saying, "Nice theme song. Sounds like something right out of Flashdance."

Bret nearly jumped out of his skin when he realized someone was nearby, and he whirled around and stared at the woman. She seemed so calm that it was almost as offputting as the fact he just appeared in a strange room.

"Excuse me, what?"

Maureen shrugged. "I was just saying, it's kind of neat that you come with your own theme music." Setting the pool cue down, she crossed her arms and looked thoughtful. "I've been using 'Let's Talk About Sex' for the theme song of my radio program but maybe I ought to write something original."

"Oh, that's not anything we've written," he said, glancing at the jukebox again, momentarily distracted by the conversation. Though, he had been making it up in his head a few seconds ago, so maybe that counted. He was pretty sure he'd never heard it before then.

His line of thinking stopped once he remembered he had more important things to worry about.

"What's all this?" he asked her, motioning around weakly in a vague attempt to get answers. He was starting to feel the panic rising in his throat, and he half expected the walls to start moving again.

"All what?" Maureen asked, blinking. Then, "Oh! Of course! You're new."

She walked around the pool table to him and gave him a sympathetic look. "Sorry to be the one to break it to you, sugar, but you're on an island. No way off. But cheer up, you can still dance here."

That wasn't what Bret wanted to hear. In actuality, Bret didn't even know what he wanted to hear, but that was definitely not it.

"Island," he repeated. "You mean we're in New Zealand?"

He hoped he hadn't somehow ended up in Australia, despite the fact the woman didn't have That accent. He wouldn't put it past people from there to be behind this, though. Not at all.

Maureen just looked at him for a second and then said, "New Zealand? No... no, pretty sure we're not anywhere near New Zealand. Is that where you're from? I'm not sure an entire country counts as an island, anyway. I mean like, maybe Hawaii. But that's not a country, is it? That's a state. Actually, I'm kind of from an island, too. Manhattan is an island, right? But yeah, this is not not Manhattan."

All Bret heard was that it wasn't New Zealand and, apparently, it wasn't New York either. While he hadn't been attention to where he was going, he doubted he could have danced himself onto a strange island without him knowing.

"Yes, actually. That's where I'm from. Or, was from," he explained, finally catching his breath. "Do you know where the New Zealand Consulate is, then? I'm - I need to go there."

That was what they did when they first went to New York, after all. Why would this place be any different?

Maureen blinked at him. She knew there was a reason why "New Zealand" seemed particularly familiar.

"...you mean the funny little man in the closet?"

boom_king November 10 2007, 20:52:06 UTC

"Funny man in the - could you tell me what he looks like, please?" he asked. He wasn't sure why the Consulate would be in a closet, but she seemed to recognize it enough to think maybe she knew what he was talking about.

drama_maureen November 11 2007, 02:37:58 UTC

"Dark hair, glasses, accent like yours," said Maureen. "I guess you lucked out, being from New Zealand. Since as far as I know, that's the only consulate we have here."

boom_king November 12 2007, 04:56:35 UTC

"That's Jemaine!" he exclaimed. He lowered his voice when he realized he had raised it. "Could you point me to him, please?"

Bret was torn between the conflicting feelings of relief and anger. Jemaine had been a dick to him, really, but it seemed like he was the only one around here that was familiar to him.
