Hi my name is Dean Quinlin, older brother to Betty, owner of a world class pet store, and secretly the narrator in disguise. I've been hired for this fanfic because the story requires a lot of exposition, exposition that no one but a narrator can easily supply.
This story starts after the gang has graduated and gone their separate ways. Cindy and Jimmy dated briefly in high school, but some kind of misunderstanding caused by a plot that I am evading the details on caused them to become so mad at each other that they haven't spoken since. Cindy moved to Santa Fe and has a prestigious position in a chemistry lab.
Jimmy started dating Betty, only because he needed to deal with the pain. They had been dating for two years and even moved in together. Their relationship got rocky though and after an argument about him spending too much time in the lab, Betty was killed.
She fell into a trap set by Beautiful Gorgeous that was meant for Jimmy and died instantly, and Jimmy was so angry that he killed Beautiful Gorgeous. In his eyes, he had lost everything and moved to a secret lab in the mountain range east of Retroville. I came to his house and tried to tell him I didn't blame him, but he wouldn't listen, I doubt he heard a word I said. From what I hear, he hasn't left that lab since, coming out with the occasional new invention.
I would expect he spends most of his time trying to counteract the Rent field, that makes people sing. It was the result of an experiment gone wrong that he could never quite get the antidote for. I'd elaborate, but you have enough exposition, I guess you need a bit more.
Ok, Carl and Sheen share an apartment in downtown Retroville, and neither is particularly rich. Carl's president of the Llama love society, which pays less then you might expect, and Sheen designs Lame action figures. None of them have ever been purchased.
Libby left a long time ago and now has become a huge hip-hop star in Canada. However, when she read in an online newsletter that their old neighborhood in Retroville was going to be torn down because it was too old, she immediately planned a protest show. The return of Libby "The fox" folfax.
Ok, that should be enough back-story for all of you, in fact I probably overloaded you with too much exposition, and nothing can kill a show, er...story like too much exposition. Now I'm just sit over there and wait for the story to start
