Month 1

[captainryan]

Having a place to run, Ryan quickly sets up a routine. He heads out to the park usually twice a day for a good two hour run. It takes two more run ins with the gangs for the word to spread that he’s to be left alone – or else. After that, he either doesn’t see them or they respectfully look the other way when he passes by.

The morning jogs are even less eventful…at least until the moon approaches. It’s only when the jogger ahead of him stops at a drinking fountain (an interesting and useful American invention) that he realizes he’s been following her for twenty minutes. No, not following, stalking. She looks up, surprised to see him as close as he is, and misinterprets the look on his face as one of lust.

“Pervert,” she informs him none too kindly, and he can’t really blame her. How often do men look like they want to eat her? It does, however, settle the matter that he needs to get out of the city and soon.

“The full moon’s nearly here,” he says when the Ghostbusters have assembled for breakfast.

Part of Ryan is wondering what dragon tastes like.

The rest of him is focused on the conversation. "You've been able to visit the other Ray's world?" He hasn't said one word about being in a cartoon. Now he's wondering if they know.

HE WANTS TO BE 3D AGAIN.

"Me? No," says Ray. "Egon? Yeah. He says the visual distortions there're just as bad as the ones at Milliways. It's like moving around inside some kind of bizarre movie or something."

"Such as more depth?" Ryan tries, looking from one Ghostbuster to the next.

The guys look at one another blankly, then turn back to Ryan and shrug a little. "All I know is that processing all that visual information at Milliways gives me a whale of a headache," Ray says.

"I see," Ryan says a shade sourly as he stuffs a piece of toast in his mouth.

"Sorry," says Ray. "I'll be coming up to Nassburg myself. I can at least try some new doors while I'm up there."

"Fair enough," Ryan says. "It'll be you and Dr. Spengler, then?"

"Yeah. No offense, Ryan, but I got some stuff to do up at my dad's," Winston says, and there's nothing in his smell that contradicts genuine regret. "Sorry."

"Don't worry about it," Ryan says gruffly. He pauses a moment, then, "I appreciate everything you've done for me thus far. Thank you."

He'd be a lot worse off other wise.
