"This seems like a good place fow an emewgency exit." Homestar examined the colorful wall. Then he gave it a good swift kick. The vast space turned black, and the boxes and wall disappeared. There was a shattering, crunching sound, accompanied by Homestar's surprised exclamation of "Whoops!" This time Homestar tumbled forward, smacking into something before hitting the ground.
He sat up, blinking his eyes against a hazy stream of sunlight. "I could go fow a sandwich wight about now." Homestar said dazedly.
Once his head cleared from getting bonked around, he looked over the room he had ended up in. "It just keeps getting weiwder and weiwder!" He remarked.
He appeared to be in an office. A computer with a broken screen sat nearby on a desk. Light was streaming into the room through some cracked blinds on the room's single window. The chair Homestar had crashed into was now shoved into a file cabinet in the corner. "I'm not in Fwee Countwy anymowe…" He observed in awe.
Homestar opened the office door and went out into a hallway. He walked past several other offices, but most of them were closed. Then he came across an open door, and inside was a man sitting at his desk sipping a cup of coffee.
"Excuse me, siw, could you diwect me to the neawest intew-dimensional cwack?" Homestar asked politely. The man looked up at Homestar and dropped his coffee mug in surprise, spilling the drink all over his desk. He stood up quickly before the coffee could run off the desk into his lap.
"I'll never drink coffee with my allergy medication ever again!" The man exclaimed, and he darted out of the room, leaving Homestar quite bewildered.
"What's his pwoblem?" Homestar wondered as he left the vacant office. He was about to continue on down the hall when he heard a door creak open behind him. It was a guy in a striped polo shirt, and he looked friendlier and less likely to run away than the last person. In fact, he seemed to recognize Homestar.
"Hello, stwange man fwom an altewnating weality. Could you diwect me to the neawest intew-dimensional cwack?" Homestar asked again.
The guy laughed uncertainly. "Well, I can't say I've ever seen an inter-dimensional crack before. But you're Homestar Runner, right? Um… I know you from the website."
"Yeah. It is a pwetty cool site. Just like me. I'm pwetty cool too. So, you haven't seen any intew-dimensional cwacks?"
"Not a one. Maybe I can help you look, though. I just got out of a meeting. My name is Matt, by the way."
"I'm Homestaw Wunnew." said Homestar.
"Yeah, you most definitely are. So tell me something, Homestar; how did you get here?" Matt inquired.
"It all stawted when I went looking fow Mawzipan. Then I found a weiwd cwack in my website. It took me to a woom full of boxes. When I accidentally bwoke the wall, I got hewe."
"Okay… Well, that's a start I guess. Maybe you'd better show me exactly where you were when you first got here."
"Wight this way." Homestar led Matt to the office where he had fallen out of the wall.
"Huh. It almost looks like you came right through the computer screen. I didn't think that was possible..." Matt said, inspecting the ruined computer monitor.
"Computews can be pwetty weiwd."
"Yeah, but stuff isn't suppose to work that way here." Matt explained.
"Oh. I see." Homestar said, completely confused.
"It looks like there's only one thing we can do." Matt said finally.
"Get some light globes?" Homestar guessed.
"Uh, no. We need to go see this guy." Matt pulled a business card out of his pocket and handed it to Homestar. "He's kind of eccentric, but he might be able to help you out."
"That's okay. I like circles." Homestar replied.
"What? I said eccentric, not concentric. He's my brother. We're web designers, sort of." Matt pointed to the writing on the business card.
"All wight. I'll go see him, but I don't think wedecowating spidew webs will help any."
Matt sighed, giving up on the topic. "Okay, you'll have to put on some kind of disguise before we go. You can't walk around as you are because it will attract too much attention. I think there might be something that will work in the lounge… follow me."
"A disguise! How adventuwous." Homestar remarked as Matt led him to the employee lounge.
