[Rolling over Michael comes face to face with some odd woman, not unattractive, but kind of not what he was expecting, pondering he hops up and looks around, then panics and runs out of the room]

Action 1 1489 Kramden Road

"SKEETS?  WHERE ARE YOU?  WHERE ARE MY PANTS?  DAMN IT!  YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LET ME DRINK THAT MUCH?"

[Michael stomps about the house finally getting dressed in ordinary clothes but looking embarrassed]

"SKEETS?  THIS ISN'T FUNNY!....  Skeets?  This.....  Doesn't look like Vegas, or somewhere I'd pull something stuu....."

[He stops staring at the photos and blinks]

"Ok...  Wait...  Either I'm having a weird dream..."  [He pinches himself] "Or I got kidnapped in some funky...  I MADE THE BIG TIME!  Wait...  Isn't that a bad thing?"

Phone 1

"Operator, this is the famous super hero Booster Gold.  Now, I will gladly come and autograph any memorabilia you want if you can tell me just where I am or at least put me in contact with the Justice League.  Or the Justice Society.  Or really any major super hero group and or their publicist.  Or Skeets...  Where is he?  He probably knows where my suit is...  Anyways!  Just uh..  Please hurry!  I'm borrowing some clothes and this place is kinda creepy."

Action 2  Around town

[After being creeped out by drone wife for a bit Booster needed to get out, armed with nothing more than his confusion, stupid grin and lost expression he went out into the streets of Mayfield]

"Man, whenever this happens to Batman or Superman people respond a heck of a lot quicker...."

I'm afraid I've never heard of you. Or Batman or Superman, for that matter. But tell me - are you acquainted at all with Arachna-Dude or the Sulk?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Er... No? Maybe they're from some place.. Wait! Are you telling me you've never heard of Metropolis' greatest hero? I mean... Booster Gold?!"

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

Regrettably, I have not.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Lets just say... When you mention Booster Gold where I'm from... People take notice."

[He nods sagely]

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

Well, I certainly know what that's like.

"So uh... What's up with this place? Its got that a kinda creepy Happy Daysesque vibe going on..."

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's quite simple. We have all been magically transported from our own worlds and imprisoned in a sealed pocket dimension from which there is no known means of escape.

"And my suit and side kick?"

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

Taken away, though there are ways to get your things back. It involves going to the post office and assuming a random low-impact physical flaw in exchange for the return of your equipment and powers. I'm told sometimes you may also lose memories, but it's rather difficult to gauge that sort of thing afterward.

"So wait. I've been stripped of all my powers, and captured in some odd pocket dimension that no one can get out?"

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

That is the case.

"Wait! Does that mean I FINALLY got an arch nemesis that doesn't suck?!"

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

That's up to you, though the ones in charge of this town do seem to be rather all-powerful. If it's a challenge you're looking for, it's a challenge you've found!

"My friend... Who tells stories about the guy who beat up some mugger? Its always about who beat the guys who could warp reality and control time. I mean come on!"

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

Well, you've come to the right place! The villains here are quite capable of both.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Really? Great.... Well, at least it won't be boring I guess."

[animalhusbandry.livejournal.com]

This town is seldom boring. That's one of its good points!
