CHAPTER ONE

[The video comes in rather unfocused at first, until some noisy fiddling brings a pair of 80s style Air Jordans into view.]

There's probably other things I should be asking first, but I only have two questions right now. One: How's the weather in California this time of year?

[If this place really is different, the forecast won't be nuclear fallout. People will be there again. America might be whole again.

Quickly, the camera shifts to a small coffee table with several different newspapers strewn all over it, but with a DVD copy of Terminator 2 on top.]

Two: How the fuck do you rewind this thing?

[worstever]

You can check the weather yourself now, actually.

[Well, if he doesn't know how to rewind a DVD, he probably doesn't know about weather apps...]

How far back are you from?

[There's no way he could date those sweet kicks. For Wash, the 80s are like the stone age.]

[permavoice]

[perturbator]

Why would they have the weather for Cali around here?

[He can't even afford cable, cut him some slack.]

Twenty five years ago, according to this place.

[worstever]

Guess you have a lot to catch up on.

If it makes you feel any better, some of us are from five hundred years in the future.

[perturbator]

[He picks up the DVD case again, armed with his new knowledge, and pops it open.]

Well this is where I plan on starting.

[People last that long into the future, though?]

Guess the robot apocalypse didn't happen.

[worstever]

No. Aliens were the problem instead.

[perturbator]

Do they actually have acid blood?

[worstever]

No, normal blood. Just purple.

[He's seen enough of it.]

Two hearts, too.
