Okay, is this the right dimension? Did I get it
right this time? Ye Gods, if I ended up in another universe run by
idiots with their finger hovering over the Nuke'Em'All Button just
begging for an excuse...what's that? AGAIN?! Then get me the frak
out of here! Wait -- What? This one still has Rocky Road?
...
...Okay then. I'll stick around. For now.
Okay,
Cats & Kittens, I know I've been MIA -- my Minions say it's been
over a year since last I gave you a booster shot of Strangeness; but
like David Wong said, it's very important you understand that none of
this was my fault. Don't you worry, though: what I have to tell you will
more than make up for the absence, and I've got plenty more to come!
So!
About where I've been: You know how when you were younger your parents
told you never to accept candy from strangers or get into a car with
one? Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh...turns out that the same goes for when a super
cute Japanese girl invites you into her Ferrari for a joyride complete
with Skittles and Slurpees -- trust me, it's a trap!
Turns out
said hottie had access to some serious pharmaceutical-grade knockout
drugs. If not for my lifelong involuntary inoculation of various
psychotropics that have helped me build a resistance to such things, it
would've put me out like a light! I'll give her credit, though: when
whatever she put in the Slurpee didn't do the trick, her knife-edge chop
to my throat followed by her right cross certainly did!
When I
woke up, I was in a sterile white room, strapped to a table with all
kinds of neat wires and electrodes hooked up to my head. I would like to
tell you this was the first time I've been in that kind of situation,
but, of the many things you can describe me as, a liar is not one of
them.
What followed was an interminable period of painful,
mindwracking torture the likes of which defy the vernacular conventions
to describe. By the time that Japanese hottie came in with her team of
scientists, I was ready to give her the codes to my best Doomsday device
if she would just read me the owner's manual to her iPhone!
{Minion's
note: What Master Cheshire is saying here is that he was left in a room
all by himself with nobody to talk to and nothing to do. According to
our biometric tracking data, the "interminable" period of time between
Master Cheshire's regaining consciousness and becoming aroused at the
site of his admittedly bewitching captor was approximately 5 minutes, 21
seconds}
I could fill the rest of this with the hours of
excruciating, deeply penetrating violations of my brain and privacy that
occurred as my cruel captor funneled my brainscan into her computer
while explaining what delightful plans she had for the world using my
extremely potent and chaotic intellect (Oh Gods, I just realized she was
monologuing! She's a Supervillain too!) but I'm not going to. Instead,
I'm just going to skip to the part where I managed to escape because my
loyal Minions showed up Rambo-style and threw a Quantum Grenade into the
room. By a weird quirk of metaphysics and my own SEP field, I ended up
shunted into another dimension, and have been trying to get back for the
last several months.
You know that crap in movies where they go
on a kickass time traveling alternate reality adventure and finally
return to their own timeline/universe to find no time has passed in
their own timeline?
Absolute bullshit.
