Hello?  Cuz?  Boss?  Danny?  If you three signed me up for some weird undercover thing without checking with me first, just because I'm the rookie, I will hack your bank accounts.  Danny, you know you don't have much in there.  You didn't even leave me my gun.

[silence]

Anybody out there at all?  Where the hell am I?

[walking by, he can't help but notice someone in distress, especially a woman. And so, being a hero, he goes up to her and asks cheerfully:]

Hey there, miss! I can't help but notice you look rather troubled. Anything I can do to help?

[Kono looks at him for a moment - she was lost in thought and confusion so it just takes her a sec to process that he was talking to her. She puts on a smile, even though she doesn't feel it.]

Miss? Seems like a bit much. Kono's fine... uh. I think I'm lost.

[Action]

[undying_heroism]

Kono then.

Mmm where are you supposed to be?

Re: [Action]

[surf_n_makai]

I, uh. I went to sleep in Hawaii, but now I have no idea where I am. But it's definitely not Hawaii.

Piikaaa-chu?

[Oh hi, oversized yellow rodent dropping by to see how you are.]

[surf_n_makai]

[It's cute, but what is it?]

Uh, hi? Are you a rabbit?

[10_year_old_kid]

Piiiikaaa... Pika Pikachu!

[He's no rabbit, he's Pikachu!]

[surf_n_makai]

[She obviously sees she's upset him, but she has no idea why.]

Sorry, little guy... whatever you are. So, are you as lost as I am right now? Because I don't think I've ever felt this lost in my life. Ever.

[battymadam]

Wait. Who's this?

Re: [phone]

[surf_n_makai]

Kono... did the lines get crossed? I'm sorry. I'm not really sure what's going on.

Who's this?

[battymadam]

The name's Foster. Oh, and it's probably cause you're using a weird phone. It calls all of the phones in town, but anyway that's the only kind around.

[surf_n_makai]

It calls everyone? Weird.

Maybe you can help me though. Do you know where around here is? I woke up in this weird house and there are pictures I don't remember and people I don't know...

You should close your mouth. Bugs might fly into it if you sit there with that expression forever, y'know.

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono turns - she didn't even know anybody was there, that's how out of it she's feeling.]

Uh. Thanks for the advice.

[pause]

Do you know where we are?

[scentofbauhinia]

Specifically? [ he stretches a bit. ] On a bench, in John Doe park, in Mayfield.

Looks like an old American town, but nobody thinks it is really. Etc.

[surf_n_makai]

Yeah. John Doe, interesting pick for a park name there.

So you're saying I went back about half a century in time, but not really?

[Olivier recognizes that expression. She shoves her hands into her pants pockets and stops in front of the newcomer.]

I take it you just arrived.

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono looks up, shaken from her thoughts.

Yeah. Wherever here is.

[flowers_suck]

You're in Mayfield.

[She pulls a folded letter from her pocket and holds it out to her.]

This should explain a few things to you, and I can answer some questions if you have any.

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono reads, her eyebrows going up further and further as she keeps reading, until she finally just ends up laughing.]

Come on, this has to be some kind of joke, right?

[She stops laughing]

Right?
