[ There's a brief silence - pardon Carl while he gets used to the junogam - before any noise cuts through. ]

- Hello?

So, uh. I hate to be a nuisance, but if anyone wouldn't mind sharing what's going on, that'd be great. Well, what's going on, and also how to get out of here.

[ Beat. ]

Assuming that's possible, anyway.

[ Another beat. And then

[whitegamon]

Hello.

We're in a town. I forgot the name, though, sorry. There's a caravan that's taking people to Loophole so we can go home. Would you care to join us? We're having a feast tonight.

[toothdoctor]

That's the most I've been able to get out of anyone so far, that Ilian guy was only so helpful, so thanks for that.

Home, as in - wherever anyone's originally from? Because if that's the case, sign me up.

[whitegamon]

Yes, that. You're welcome to join us of course. There's a lot of room on the Caravan, and Mister Simmon is a lovely fellow.

[toothdoctor]

I guess Simmon's the one running this whole trip?

[whatsacliche]

Lima as in...Ohio?

[toothdoctor]

Yeah, Lima as in Ohio.

- Why d'you ask?

[whatsacliche]

...I'm from there too! And-- and Kurt and Santana and Miss P. and-- oh, God, did everyone in our town die or something?!

[toothdoctor]

Whoa, no, no, no one died. At least, not as far as I'm aware.

So that's the Glee kids, right? [ And wait up, did he hear - ] Wait, Miss P.? For Pillsbury?

[thedoegirl]

[ Wait, she knows that voice... ] Carl?

Carl? Oh no, you're here, too! This is horrible! [ Short pause. ] Er, I mean, it's nice to see you, of course, but not here!

[toothdoctor]

Em? [ And he's just going to plow on ahead, thank you. ]

What's - where are you? Are you alright? I mean, besides being here.

[thedoegirl]

[ She lets out a relieved sigh. She feels less alone now, even if there are other Lima folk around. ] I'm fine. As well as I'll ever be, anyway. Don't worry about me too much, though. You could say I'm...used to this.

I'm in the town right now, mostly trying not to think about having to get back on the Caravan at some point. Um, you're here too, right?

[toothdoctor]

Used to it, huh? I might have to ask you to show me the ropes at some point.

Yeah, yeah, I am. I got shepherded down here and pointed towards the Caravan.

- Can I come find you?

[evil_dwarves]

You sound like my dentist.

[toothdoctor]

[ Alright, he's pretty sure he recognizes that voice. Cavities in every tooth tend to leave a bit of an impression, after all. ]

... Brittany?

[evil_dwarves]

[Dr. Pepper is a doctor.]

Yes?

[toothdoctor]

[ Right. Let's try not to make this sound like a Darth Vader impression: ] I am your dentist.

[lefeys]

What's going on is that you're in another world--possibly one entirely separate from the one you new.

As for how to get out...that's a bit more complicated.

[toothdoctor]

Yeah, so it'd seem. Getting out of here aside, do we know how any of us actually did get here?

[lefeys]

It seems to be different for everyone. There are different theories--some say they've been kidnapped, others blame unnatural forces, and still others beleive this to be a dream. You can decide for yourself which suits you.

[toothdoctor]

Fair enough, I guess.

Pardon my manners - I'm Carl. Carl Howell.
