"...sup?"

"Yeah," says the man. "Sup to you too, uh, guy. So, well... you got anything? I dunno."

"You're actually a demon of some sort working with the CIA and this is some sort of honeypot operation, knowing my luck. But, mam always said not to question my elders."

Did I swallow the donut whole? If so, cough it up and eat it again. If not, eat another one.

"Crikey. Well. Could this be a sign?"

Whilst the man is unconscious, cast Potato Vortex on his body until he is transported to the Potato Realm. Then follow him. Poke him with my foot a bit if necessary to wake him.

He quickly cuffs you to the briefcase. The cuffs getting locked sends a shiver along your spine.

"Now... don't open the case... and get over to Charlie in Greenblatt Park... and keep a low profile, eh?"

"I dunno.  You know the Oldthinker?"

"Who's that?"

"He's old, and does a lot of thinking?  Guess not.  Where are we?"

"He's old, and does a lot of thinking?  Guess not.  Where are we?"

"Uh, some kind of mindscape. Or maybe just the universe, but, well... remixed. Haven't explored much yet."

The man scratches his flame thoughtfully.

"Gotta say, I was expecting a hallucination would be more, how to put this... knowledgeable? You're not even trying to be cryptic."

"Gee, sorry bro, sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations.  Larry rolled his eyes.  "Could ask that chick.  HEY!  You with us?" Larry snapped his fingers in front of the presumed Mrs. Lady.

Your motion seems to snap her out of some kind of trance.

"Of course I'm with you!" says Mrs. Lady, shaking her head. "I just got... distracted is all. There's a pretty-looking... flame... over there..." she then starts to trail off, looking into the distance behind you, her head starting to swing from side to side again.

"I don't think she knows either," says the guy. "But maybe that's just this, uh, trip telling me to explore."

"Flame... pretty flame..." Mrs. Lady continues to mutter to herself.

Larry shrugged.  "Well, last time I took a trip I studied magic, and it got all wacky.  Might as well try it again!"


Bury face in the binder again.  Let's hit up some sweet, sweet, magic.

You don't seem to have the binder on you. You also appear to be entirely naked. Odd. Mrs. Lady still appears mostly as she did, you note.

"Oh, you're a wizard too?" the wick-headed guy says. "That's, uh, nice, I guess. I don't think your, er, handler can reach you here, though. Things might be... a little screwy. They usually are, truth be told. Don't know when they haven't been. Say, uh, guy. Wanna see a cool trick? You're gonna have to tell me your name for it, though."

Larry shrugged.  "Larry."

"Larry. That's... appropriate!"

Your head starts to softly throb, and you rub your temples to ease the feeling.

"Uh... didn't work. Got another one? Doesn't have to be yours. Maybe a buddy or something."

"Another... name?  Larry Malone's the full thing.  Or you could try Cal.  Or do Halesey- kinda wondering what he's up to.
