Case 69 [Video]

[manofgnee]

--It's just an old mess I've been meaning to clean up...by the way, 1,000 of these guys are supposed to grant a wish, so let's make a bunch!

[Hanna is sitting on the edge of the big fountain, hunched over and smiling, concentrating on something. He's folding a piece of paper, and he doesn't seem to realize he's no longer at home. After a minute, he grins and finally looks up, holding up a small paper crane.]

Not a bad idea, right, Oscar?

[He blinks, smile fading to be replaced with a look of confusion. Wait, this isn't his apartment.]

Oscar?

[Hanna blinks, looking around in confusion.]

Oscar, where'd you go?
...wait. Where did I go...? This isn't my apartment...

[After a minute or two of looking around and wondering what exactly what's going on, Hanna suddenly realizes where he is, and a wave of relief washes over him, and he smiles.]

Ohhh...I thought I was done with this place! Man, I can't believe I forgot...
Hey, I'm back in the City!!

[He grins and stands up, still holding the crane and looking around.]

Hey, Oscar, Sam, Billy, everybody, I think I'm back! Wonder how long I've been gone for...Hope I didn't miss too much...


Sorry, I left, Oscar...I'll be right home soon!

[He grins, still talking to himself, before he rushes off, going to try and find a zombie that's no longer here in a house that's basically empty (save for a sheep and a grouchy pregnant dog).]


[ooc: Screw it, I came back early because I didn't end up going away. Ah well...pretend that this lasted 3 days instead of 2. Anyway, Hanna is back from his canon update!! He's now been updated to the beginning of chapter 3, which can again be found here: http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=605]

He's got zombie induced amnesia. So everyday, I try a new name with him to see if it triggers something...also, that's why I'm working on making cranes for him!!

So yeah, felt like longer for me, I guess...

[team_sociopath]

What're cranes gonna do?

I heard that happens with people coming and going, something weird and time-travel-y.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, you know...make 1000, get a wish that comes true.

Well, I guess I didn't miss much, did I...?

[team_sociopath]

I've never heard that, but okay. So you were gonna wish to figure out who he was?

Not really except for the crazy noise today.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

He says he doesn't care...but I think he does, in some way...so I wanna help him find out at least a little.

Oh yeah, the weird buzzing. I don't mind it, but what is it?

[team_sociopath]

That's nice of you.

No idea. A curse I guess, that's what I heard. I've been avoiding it as much as I can.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

He's my best friend. I'd do whatever I thought was right to make him happy, you know?

...You can avoid it? How?

[team_sociopath]

Yeah. Sure.

...If you're going fast enough you can't really hear it. Not as much at least.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh. You can move faster than sound, that's neat! I mean, I knew you were fast, but...

[team_sociopath]

Well it's not the sonic boom thing, it's-- like, you know how if an ambulance passes by it gets whiny and then it sounds normal and then it gets lower and fades out? Like that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Coool...

[team_sociopath]

Yeah so. It helps a little anyway.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hey, its only for a day!

[team_sociopath]

That's this place's thing, right? Crazy day, a few normal days, crazy day?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Crazy doesn't always mean fun, but at least it's not boring...

[team_sociopath]

The dinosaurs were pretty fun. Mostly. Uh, except for the... angry meat-eating ones, those were less fun.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I never got to ride one...mega bummer.

[team_sociopath]

There might be some in the zoo? There's unicorns and stuff. I ran through before.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

The zoo is sort of fantastic like that.

[team_sociopath]

Yeah. I did some sightseeing in between running in circles, it gets boring.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I imagine running around in circles would get boring if you didn't do anything...

[team_sociopath]

Seriously boring.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hey, you should try the beach if you get bored!

[team_sociopath]

Yeah, I didn't get there yet. I left my swim trunks in my other reality, you know?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you'll need to fix that.
