...because everyone loves explosions

[slushy_science]

He didn't so much appear through a door or between steps as from a massive cloud of pink smoke and a shout of 'WEEEEHOOOO!' In fact, steps had nothing to do with it. He rolled out of the post-explosion haze and ended up on his backside, grinning up at the very new surroundings that looked nothing like the labs he'd been working in

"They've been happening for a while, actually," Ryan says blandly, looking over at the man on the floor.

[slushy_science]

Boy, really. Human puppy is another good way to put it.

"Really? I just noticed. I should probably look up more often."

[captainryan]

Ryan hates dogs. Just putting that out there.

"There's some rather unnerving auditory ones in the pool area." If you can find it. Damn thing moves.

[slushy_science]

Even has two kittens. It's more the enthusiasm than any dog-like traits.

"There's a pool? Uh, that's probably not a good idea for a hallucination. Diving into the floor isn't fun and trust me I know and don't ask unless you want to know why I know cause it's kind of a story."

[captainryan]

Ryan just arches a cool eyebrow at the kid.

"I won't ask, then."

[slushy_science]

"Probably best for everyone," he admitted cheerfully.

Then he glanced around.

"Who're you? and where am I?"

[captainryan]

"Richard Ryan, and your guess is as good as mine." Though he's still fairly certain he's hallucinating all of this himself.

"It's a hotel that just...appears. It changes rather often, as well."

[slushy_science]

"....ooooooo."

And now he was glancing around curiously.

"Even," and as it came with his hand, it's an introduction, "Even Vorbis. And yes, I know I'm odd."

[captainryan]

Ryan politely shakes his hand.

"I imagine not, in this place," he says dryly.

[slushy_science]

"Okay," he said, glancing around and trying to see if anyone else might be doing beverage-based chemical experiments.

"So, um, where is this more exactly? I want to know how far this one tossed me."

[captainryan]

"More?" Ryan repeats, looking dubious.

He's suddenly wondering if he's met a druggie.

[slushy_science]

Nothing like! Head trauma is a possibility, though.

"There's more?"

...Even's brain-to-mouth filter occasionally skipped words.

[captainryan]

"...do you mean the auditory hallucinations I mentioned?"

That seems likely?

[slushy_science]

A blur of a nod.

"Yeah, that's what I meant."

[captainryan]

"Pool area. Somewhere down that way," Ryan points. "It moves around a bit."

And he'll pass on visiting. He doesn't care for hearing disembodied voices.
