Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune...

[furyandecstasy]

Geoffrey had not slept well last night. The couch in the storage room wasn't exactly built for comfort though, was it? No, it was built to look pretty for actors to sit on onstage and say lines, not to sleep on. As a reflex, he grabbed Oliver, who'd become a sort of a makeshift stress ball for him. He stretched and groaned, shoving a hand through

Cameron walks by. "Sorry. Welcome to ground zero of craziness."

[furyandecstasy]

"It can't be crazier than -- " He didn't even want to say it out loud, "Than the theatre... can it?"

[drcaresalot]

"Depends on the theatre, I guess."

[furyandecstasy]

"Ours is -- was? -- pretty fucking crazy. Please tell me this is at least -- relatively normal crazy. Normal crazy I can deal with."

Riley frowns a bit, eyeing the newcomer. "Hey, man, are you okay?"

He gets that arriving here is a little... disconcerting, but this guy seems a little bit more upset by it than most.

[furyandecstasy]

"Noooo, very much not okay. I need to get back to my play -- I'm directing Macbeth and they desperately need me there. Tell me how to get back to New Burbage."

[notjustafarmboy]

"I'm sorry. I'm not sure yet where this hotel is, let alone New Burbage," Riley says, not unkindly. "I know it's a little strange. I wish I could tell you there was a rational explanation for it, but I'm still trying to figure out what it is. There's no easy way back to civilization, though."

[furyandecstasy]

"What do you mean 'no easy way back'? You sound like my shrink.' Geoffrey sighed and rubbed his hands over his face, "Aaaugh. New Burbage is in Ontario. We've got a big festival every year? It's okay, no one in Canada remembers it's there either."

"What were you expecting?"

[furyandecstasy]

"The office area of the theatre, maybe? That's what used to be outside of the storage room, anyway."

[trion_prince]

"Sorry to disappoint." Turlough showed his teeth in lieu of a smile.

[furyandecstasy]

Geoffrey smiled similarly -- more of a grimace. "I'm sure it's not your fault."

[bs_irishcharm]

"What the fuck, man?" Ryan asked, having been interrupted in his search for alcohol by the cries. "It's all fucking nuts here."

[furyandecstasy]

"I don't want more craziness. I want to go home -- to my usual craziness."

[bs_irishcharm]

"Then you're fucked," Ryan said easily, reaching inside his pocket for a cigarette. "We're stuck here."

[furyandecstasy]

"Does here have a bar?"

[supermountie]

"..."

[furyandecstasy]

It was like he was looking in a funhouse mirror -- this younger, fitter, much better groomed version of himself staring at him.

"... hi."

[supermountie]

"Er... hello there." Fraser tips his hat.

[furyandecstasy]

Geoffrey waved -- half in greeting, half to see if the neater-him would copy it. "Um... do you maybe know where I am?"
