[glitchingagain]

[It's Afternoon. There is a video of a dark haired man with a strange silver zipper down the center of his head. He looks a little agitated as he stares at the video, his hand running over the top of his head as if checking himself out of habit, then fixing his very torn jacket in front

[The clown-girl tilts her head at the camera, and gives a little wave before answering the rhetorical.]

I don't think so, mister, 'less that stands for Otherworld Zanyness.

[Video]

[glitchingagain]

[At first he seemed startled, but seeing the little wave from the colorful girl made him... give a small wave back. Huh, So this does work]

No. It stands for the Outter Zone... [Hnn, so this wasn't home after all? Not good.] Though "Otherworld Zanyness" is fitting from what I've seen.

[ridi_arlecchino]

It's one bonkers burg, alright! I'm pretty new here m'self... My name's Harley.

[She rubs the back of her head.] Where's the Outer Zone?

[Video]

[glitchingagain]

My name's Glitch. [It was said carefully. He remembered his original name now, but this one fit... besides, he lost his brain again, didn't he.] So... you're not from around here either?

The O.Z.? It's... [How to explain this...] ...the Queens land. Munchkins and Winkies and what have you. [A scratch to the back of his neck as he 'thinks'] Two suns, beautiful lands, forests and... [ah, distracted...] There's a decided lack of forest in this place.

[video]

[chisonooggi]

I don't think this is the...um... O.Z. But maybe your friends are here? Sometimes you find people here you didn't think you'd see again!

...But sometimes you don't. Are you okay?

[video]

[glitchingagain]

[Another voice, another video. This device was rather interesting, wasn't it? the surprised look washed away as he spoke though] that's what the... Greeter, I think it was, said.

I'm alright, for now... A little disoriented. I was told there are a lot of people lost here. Is that true?

[video]

[chisonooggi]

[She smiles.] No, this is Siren's Port! It's...in a place called Canada. I think.

Yeah, there's some people lost here. Sometimes people come here by themselves, and they don't have any friends here already. But that just means you need to make some new ones. Do you need help? I'm not one of the greeter people, but I know how to get to get some places.

[video]

[glitchingagain]

Canada? Is that anywhere near Kansas? Not that I've been to Kansas, but I've heard of it.

[Ah, he gave a deep sigh] I need help getting back to the O.Z. is all. There was something very important that I had to do and... [What... was it--- Oh right! numbers] ...if I'm not there to do it then everything will have been for nothing. That woman, the Greeter, she said I can't go back? There has to be some way.

[nebulaspiraling]

That's quite the acronym.

[ more importantly, ] are you all right?

Tri-Dimensional Energy Stored Projected Holographic Time Loop. [It was said with ease, as if saying it with out thought, but a moment after he paused, looked surprised with himself...] Heh... I'm still surprised I remember that... Though I'm finding this isn't the same. It's interesting though.

[He shook that off, a hand raising to rub at his forehead, still frustrated] I about popped a zipper with that crash landing, but I'm fine.

video.

[nebulaspiraling]

[ she's impressed! it comes out in the most fleeting, close-lipped, tiny laugh. but, she's not going to try repeating it. ] Oh! Is it what you used to communicate with before? And, umm, now they're calling it a 'NV'?

[ she studies the center of his head a bit awkwardly. trying, without staring. it's not very successful for a moment. there's a small frown. ] It's secure now, isn't it?

video.

[glitchingagain]

Oh, no, no, no. They were used to loop project holographic energy images over time. Ah... Holos, I think that woman said. [A pause, and a bit of a smile] NV should be easy to remember. It seems to be more practical anyhow.

[Secure? His head tilted, then his free hand reached up once more, fingers trailing to the back where the zipper pull was] Oh! Yes. Yes, yes. It's secure. Heavens, I wouldn't want to be rude. [a small chuckle now] Last thing I need it to lose more of my marbles! Heh.

[gaveherwings]

I'm sorry, the greeter wouldn't lie about your whereabouts, I'm afraid.

[glitchingagain]

That's what I am hearing. I suppose the gloomy-[He raised one hand and did quote marks here]]-stuck here forever part wasn't much of exaggeration either then?

[gaveherwings]

Well. "Stuck here" until a solution can be found, at any time.

[glitchingagain]

Hmm... by then it will be too late.

[ Disregarding most of the odd things this man has said]

...Dude... what's going on with your hair?

video;

[glitchingagain]

Oh heavens. Am I undone again? [Blink... raises his hand to his hair and touches around. No... zipper is closed, and secured. He gave a quizzical look] Is something the matter with it?

video;

[conspiracytoker]

What? Well, no, man. I mean, never saw a guy with a zipper on his head before.

...So if you unzip it, can we see your brains?

video;

[glitchingagain]

[He seemed a lil taken back by this, a little ruffled even...] Well, beside your question being extremely rude... yes. You can. At least... what's left of them.
