★ 01 [Video/Action] Well it's not the semi annual sale at Macy's...

[mightbeconcussed]

So I told him that I thought we were better as a special occasion sort of thing. Like the classic car you keep in the garage because if you drove it every day it’d always be in the shop. I’m not entirely sure he bought it but he agreed to leave our face to faces to parties and booty calls—Jill are you even listening to me?

[Lucy is standing in front of the fountain with a really fantastic Prada bag –price tag still attached--in her hand. She’s looking around wildly.]

Jilly Bean?

[She looks down at the bag in her hand]

Oh Holy Bear Bryant…does this mean I shop lifted? I swear I was going to buy it. Not that that ever works in the movies or the TV shows. It’s like the standard excuse for shop lifters. I bet it’s the excuse Wynona gave but honest, I mean it. I was going to pay for it until I got—where is this? Kidnapping carries a very serious penalty and I am not someone you want to abduct. Especially if you’re an alien. Oh God…it’s aliens isn’t it? I want to chime in with being opposed to aliens. Unless you’re Max Evans. Then you can abduct me anytime.

[She pauses to take a breath and note that the scenery is not one she recognizes]

This is definitely not Roswell, New Mexico.

[And a final glance down at the bag before she tucks it firmly beneath her arm]

At least I got to keep the bag…

Okay, I can tell you what's going on, but you'll think I'm crazy.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I'm crazy. And thank you God at least the aliens are cute. I promise to go to church...sometimes.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

You've been kidnapped to a sort of... pocket dimension called the City.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Aliens. Cute. You. Hey no judging here I am an equal opportunity flirt. Aliens, African Americans, Asians--as long as you're not an Auburn fan I'm all over that.

Pocket dimension. Like...okay I've got nothing. I'm blanking.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, of course. I was just double checking, I mean, testing. Yeah. Testing. And no, not a big fan of towns in Alabama in general. I mean, I'm sure there's some really great ones, but as a general rule I'm not a fan.

Okay, like, imagine there are a bunch of different realities out there. Some are really weird, like you see in movies and books and stuff. And people get snatched from those worlds and stuck here.

I'm Sam Witwicky, by the way.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Bite your tongue. Birmingham born and bred.

Fantastic. I'm stuck in the universe's trash can.

Lucy Locke.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

And Birmingham is awesome?

Hey, we're not trash. At least, not everyone.

Nice to meet you, Lucy.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Hello? Birmingham is so awesome.

I didn't say anyone was trash because I'm totally not going to call myself trash. Maybe saying 'great I'm in the Universe's Time Out' is a better description.

You too, Sam.

Trust me girl, there'd be way more probing if it was aliens. ...You get the guide yet?

Re: video/placeholder D:

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

No guide but the aliens are cute. Probe away!

Okay, now you've got the whole deal. I'm Hardison, by the way. You doin' all right so far? Look up the Welcome Center first, okay? Just use the search function, it'll come right up.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause as she's pressing buttons and looking through the guide]

Okay. Welcome center. Palm!Google. Got it.

I'm Lucy.

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's something like that.

Nice to meet you, Lucy. But that's cold, I'm just saying.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Psssh, I am so not cold. What did I do?

Also, DISCLAIMER!! I am TRAUMATIZED! KIDNAPPED!! BY ALIENS In case you didn't get the memo!

Okay, what am I defending myself for again?

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

You broke up with a dude by trying to call him a classic car. I mean, kudos for creativity but damn. I don't even know the guy and I feel for him.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Okay first, we were never going out. He was a one night stand that got attached and that I'd very much like to make into an occasional night stand. I just don't do boyfriends.

Second, I don't do boyfriends. I practically tattoo it on my forehead.

Third, oh yeah I don't do boyfriends.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Gosh.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!

No. I really don't. I mean there's so much that Gosh could apply to you're gonna have to be more specific here.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Sorry, you're just very...excited.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

The correct terminology is hyper. Excited would imply that I'm happy to be here or anticipating something. Both of which are a great big NO. My boys just won National Champion. I would mucho preferio to be in Birmingham.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

South Carolina?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Alabama. You know football?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I'm more of a baseball fan.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Not a giant fan but I've gone to a game or two. I'm more of a football girl.
