Canon is Big Wolf on Campus

[overactiveimagination]

...oh, so we can talk to each other? That's kinda cool. You know, this is just like the 2006 speculative fiction film Stranger Than Fiction, starring Will Farrell playing against type as a restrained and uptight IRS officer.

Well you see, Farrell was attempting to break out of his general rut of only playing idiotic buffoons and attempted to broaden his scope with-


RIGHT. Right, sorry.

Although, you didn't actually you didn't actually invent me as a character, so maybe this is more like the classic Italian absurdist play Six Character in Search of an Author. Except, you're the one coming after me...

WHICH. By the way, lady, you do succeed at and end up sending me to one of these kidnappy-type places where I have no general means of escape, I think maybe I should warn you that my best friend is a werewolf, and he is SO going to kick your nerdy BUTT.

Once he, you know, shows up.

Which is totally will!

Hopefully.




Soon.

Merton WHAT THE HELL, MAN?

[overactiveimagination]

Tommy!

[Here, have your arms full of over-excited goth.]

I knew you'd get here soon!

[justhairy]

[pat pat pat]

Yeah, man, of course. Where are we?

[overactiveimagination]

I'm still working through all the variables, but I believe this is some sort of nexus between parallel worlds. An inter-dimentional flight lounge, if you will.

[justhairy]

I don't remember getting on a plane.

[overactiveimagination]

Well you wouldn't, no. One doesn't generally just hop on a red-eye to a pocket dimension.

[justhairy]

So how -- whatever. How do we get out of here?

[overactiveimagination]

I am... still working on that. But I am clearly just moments away from breaking this place open!

Normally there is some sort of menacing foe you can get all 'Call of the Wild' on.

[justhairy]

Yeah, well, find him quickly, okay? It's creepy here. And I've got a date with Stacey in... [checks his watch] FIFTEEN MINUTES.

[overactiveimagination]

We've been kidnapped, Tommy. KIDNAPPED. I think showing up for your date on time is going to be the last of your worries!

[justhairy]

Dude, do you know how many times I've bailed out on Stacey? She'll NEVER believe the "I was kidnapped by an interdimensional being" excuse!

omg my childhood

[6collegecredits]

Like, an actual werewolf?

the best show of the 90s

[overactiveimagination]

He sure is! 100% full-blooded American werewolf.

it seriously was

[6collegecredits]

Huh. Pretty cool.

I'm only casual acquaintances with a London werewolf but being best friends with one sounds pretty awesome.

[overactiveimagination]

Really! Tell, me said werewolf of the 'evil, murderous' persuasion? Because aside from Tommy, we really haven't found an over-abundance of good werewolves.

[6collegecredits]

Nope. He's just about the most polite person, supernatural or otherwise, that I've ever met.

[overactiveimagination]

Really? Do you think he would be adverse to an interview? It's for a book I'm writing. You see, I'm actually one of the world's foremost experts on lycanthropy. At least, who isn't an evil world-conquering German mad scientist.

[6collegecredits]

I don't think he'd mind, but things are probably a bit different in the werewolf department in your world and his.

He's apparently from a version of Victorian London where werewolves and vampires are pretty common.

[overactiveimagination]

You know a werewolf. From Victorian London. Who hangs around with vampires.

[Give Merton a moment. He's feeling a little faint.]

I think my whole life has been leading up to the moment!

[6collegecredits]

And that's just the start. There are all kinds of crazy things going on where I am.

[overactiveimagination]

I am a little more familiar with 'crazy things'. In fact, I'm pretty sure my hometown might have some sort of beacon attracting every supernatural ghost and goul in the midwest.

[6collegecredits]

Sounds like quite the place.

How about giant, alien, robots? Got those?

threadjack!

[justhairy]

Dude, forget the werewolf. You're talking to a cute girl! And not making an idiot of yourself!

[fake tears]

I'm so proud.

[overactiveimagination]

I talk to girls all the time, Tommy! And I don't made an id-

Well, nine times out of ten-





I know isn't it amazing?

[justhairy]

Congratulations, Merton. You've finally joined the human race.
