[ A » Action; 918 Bilko Boulevard (Morning) ]

[ Jeez it felt like days since Marty last slept. He probably could get away with sleeping all the way until the afternoon but a part of him was pushing him to at least pry one eye open. The last thing he remembers was taking the DeLorean back home with the Doc but everything else is just one huge blur in his head. Chalk it up to getting your atoms scrambled on a near constant basis. Maybe that's what he needed, sleep it off a little more. That subconscious of his seems to have the right idea, it really does feel like he's sleeping on a full size mattress fit for two.

Yeah... just a few more minutes.

But as he shifts from beneath the comforters, something feels kind of off. His eyes finally flutter open that this...is definitely not his bed. Now that reality has caught his attention, his eyes are now wide open and shoots up from bed. ]

[ B » Action; Bilko Boulevard ]

[ Okay so Mayfield, right? Now he just needs to get a date on this place. The newspaper was able to tell him that much but the full year is scratched off. Great. Nineteen fifty-what? Every page he flips, the printed year appears to be nonexistent. Like something purposefully redacted it from the print. Nah, it can't be right. He just needs to get his hands on a better copy. If you're up and about enjoying your daily routine, don't be alarmed if there's a kid near your front yard, opening your trash bins for old newspapers. ]

[ C » Action; Downtown Area ]

[ Well... here we go again. You're probably one of the newer residents, maybe even a pro-Mayfield veteran. Who cares! Marty sure as hell can't tell. So whoever you are, there's a wild Marty from behind yelling-- ]

Excuse me!

What do you want?

[Haruhi will basically glare at Marty. You better not be boring.]

[outtatime]

You wouldn't happen to have seen a strange looking car around here, would you? About as wide as that car [ He points at one of vehicles parked near them. ] only gray and looks like it doesn't belong in this decade.

[extraordinarily]

I haven't.

[There's a slight pause, as she realizes something.]

You're new, right? If the car you're talking about is missing, that's because this town took it. Oh, and you won't be getting it anytime soon.

[outtatime]

I what-? [ He was about nod but then the stark realization hits him sooner than you can say 'Mayfield Milk Farms'. ]

Wait, let me get this straight- [ He looks confused about this. ] you're telling me that this town took my stuff?

[extraordinarily]

Not "this town" exactly. But the people who run it, yeah.

[outtatime]

Right. That's what I meant.

[ Yeah don't go jumping the shark there, Marty. Obviously there is a perfectly logical explanation for suddenly getting kidnapped back into the 1950's. ]

I guess I'm the only who didn't get the memo about this place.

[extraordinarily]

All the newbies are always like this. Don't worry.

[She, though, wasn't like that when she first arrived, though. Which is... sort of odd.]

[outtatime]

Great. You'd think they give you a Player's Manual for this kinda thing.

[extraordinarily]

There is a guide on how things work here, but it's at the library. Which is over there.

[and Haruhi points at the direction of said library.]

[outtatime]

[ Looks over in the direction that Haruhi is pointing. ]

Huh, go figure. Guess that's easier than answering 101 questions from someone who's completely lost.

[extraordinarily]

Well, most people end up having questions about this place after they see the mini-guide.

[She shrugs. Newbies are always like that.]
