[Now he's had more time to practice filters, he's trying one out. He's sure this matter has been brought up before at some point in time anyhow, so it's not like it's too sensitive. But he has to ask, since it seems like people never discuss it. At the moment, Mulder can be seen holding a small handheld mirror and tapping it absentmindedly into the palm of his other hand. He has a thoughtful expression on his face.]

...I bet it's been tried before, but... Has anyone ever had the barcode on the back of their neck examined? Is there a doctor in the house, or anyone with a medical background who's ever tried removing it from someone? ....Or maybe just someone in possession of a state of the art grocery store scanner to check it out? [What, YOU NEVER KNOW.] For that matter, can we be entirely sure they haven't implanted anything additional in us?

Aside from that, I'm almost starting to feel a sense of routine and normality, between my ongoing quest to commune with the spirits and now working on what's essentially becoming the Lucetian X-Files. I have some faint hope that documenting the experiments will give me a better understanding of this place. Although I would kill for a computer to type them out on. Uh... not literally kill, for the record.

A flood of newcomers means I get to officially upgrade my New Feather badge to the next level... [Warning! Warning! Incoming snark mode!] Welcome to paradise, everyone. The food is free, but the TV reception is terrible, the recreational activities consist of reality-altering experiments which will make you wish you were on reality-altering drugs, and the vacation staff running the place have a mysterious fetish for wings. Overall I give this resort a half star. You really should have gone to Disneyworld instead.

Depends how long the line is. Five hours of the It's a Small World song can start gettin' on people's nerves, but on an average visitor's day, I'd take my chances with the annoyin' music.

Ok, true, even the sanest mind would crack after hearing that song repeatedly. But you can be sure that the people in the rides won't come to life and start abducting you for tests, at least...

You must be from my world, roughly.

Sorta. I came from the cartoon Wasteland. Wasteland is where cartoon characters go when they're forgotten by their fans. I could see the other world through a telescope, but I couldn't go there. Not without a heart, anyway.

You're a cartoon? [Geek mode, activate.] I've never met a literal cartoon before. Did you manage to find a heart? [His urge to crack a Wizard of Oz heart-related joke is rising.]

Sorta. I had my eye on one, but then it was stolen and when we tried to get it back, I came to this place. ... It's complicated. [Especially because that heart already belonged to someone else.]

Anyway, yeah, I'm a cartoon! Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. You may have heard of me, I was a big star around 1929.

Now that's definitely getting old school. Oswald, huh. I may have run across a marathon of you before. [He does watch a lot of random TV in his spare time, or did.] Well, anyway, it's good to meet you. I'm Fox Mulder. I come from the... non-cartoon world.

...When you're talking about taking hearts, I'm assuming this is in a non-physical sense?

[Good boy, Mulder. You've just earned bonus points from Oswald for actually having seen his cartoons at some point.]

Uh... Not really. It's as physical as a cartoon heart can be. See, when a cartoon character has a heart, it's proof that they're loved by their fans. Then, when they're forgotten, they lose that love. So they lose their heart, geddit?

Gettin' your heart back means you've regained the love of your fans and then ya can leave Wasteland. It's just hard for us classics to make a comeback once we're filed away. Cartoon shorts aren't what they used to be, ya know?

[When you often can't sleep and end up watching TV at weird hours like Mulder, you run across the random marathons of old forgotten shows. Well. And infomercials. ~~And then there's certain pay per view channels when the mood strikes.~~]

Considering that I come from a place and time where South Park just came into existence... I'd say that things are very different. [Yeah, you have NO IDEA and probably it's best not to.] Still, I didn't realize that such a place existed, I wonder if it's like that for all characters in general...

So when you get a heart you said that you can leave the Wasteland? Where can a cartoon go from there?

[Luckily, Oswald refuses to have anything to do with cartoons that aren't Disney. If he were to ever watch South Park, the rage would be unfathomable.]

Where else? Back to bein' a celebrity, of course! Once a character makes a comeback, there's new cartoon shorts to be made. Or even... [Considerable pause.]

A feature film.

[Ok, Mulder definitely appreciates the enthusiasm in that. It reminds him of the passion he puts into his own work.]

Well, I hope you get your feature film. Hopefully one that doesn't feature abductions and freaky experiments. I'm determined to find a way out of here and back home, so... it could happen someday.

Hey, ya know what? This actually would make a great feature film! Featurin' me as the hero, the Malnosso as the villains... We've already got the talking forest critters, too! You can be the comedy relief sidekick. Do ya know how to sing?

[Mulder can't help but find the thought all too amusing.]

No, I can't say that I've ever been much of a singer. I could try my best Elvis impersonation for the sake of entertainment though.

A comedy relief sidekick with an Elvis vibe... I like it! Got any candidates for the damsel in distress?

Elvis is the most famous alien abductee of my time, I can't not go with him. [Yeah. Especially now, being here, Mulder is once again entirely convinced that's what happened to him.]

...That damsel is going to be a tough one, though. [Especially since a lot of the ladies around here have crazy powers.]

Yeah... [Ortensia would be perfect for the part, but she's not here.] What we need is a kind-hearted girl with a bit of an attitude problem to give her that extra edge, ya know?

[He chuckles at that thought and what Scully would think.]

I know who I'd pick, but she's not here, and she'd resent the idea of being a 'damsel in distress.' Besides, she's saved me about as often as I've done for her...

But that's okay! Damsels aren't supposed to like bein' in distress! And if she's saved you a couple times too, it means she'll appeal to girls in the audience more. The damsel in distress and the comedy relief sidekick usually get along great, ya know?

True, they do tend to prefer that the female lead can kick some ass in addition to having the dramatic rescue scene. Scully is also the skeptic to my believer, which I suppose could work for the sake of entertainment...

Hm hmm... And does she like to use sarcasm with that?

She has mad skills in that department, yeah.

Perfect! So she's in Luceti, right?

Ah, actually no, she's not. I keep being torn between wishing her here, and wishing her never here, considering the nature of this place. She'd be a tremendous help though, if she were around...

If she'd be such a great help and you miss seein' her, I don't see why you can't wish she'd be here.
