Hatman fell, he fell through the blueness that was the sky, though he did not know it was called that.

He was quite enjoying the clean air, the white room had been a bit... stuffy.

His companion Lynk the Lynx was not however enjoying it quite so much.

Hatman spotted some strange rectangular things moving below them. They were getting closer.

He wondered what they were, some of them were quite colourful.

This however was not the beginning of our tale, it is a time after that. We could go back, tell of where it all began, the white room, you wouldn't be able to really change anything, afterall, it already happened.

You can only change the future through the present.

And presently those boxes as Hatman sees them are getting closer...

Or is it hatman who is getting closer to them?

The head catching goes poorly!

Hatman's abnormally large nose gets in the way, amazingly said nose is unbroken!

The same cannot be said for the colourful box.

Hatman continues his decent. Lynk hid inside the hat and so avoided injury.

Oh another box, Hatman is disinclined to attempt more headcatching, the first time was sore enough.

Besides, he doesn't want to hurt the colourful boxs!

As soon he hit the box Hatman's rather limited self preservation kicked in. He scrabbled for purchase on it.

Thankfully he manages to grab hold somehow.

He looked up sensing that a person was looking at him.

At this point it would be useful to tell you this, Hatman's mouth instead of being filled with normal teeth was filled with triangular teeth, not unlike a shark's. The effect of him smiling and shouting help with teeth bared would be decidedly unnerving. Coupled with falling suddenly on somebody's vehicle it would be quite frightening.

The mousey haired uninteresting woman in the flying car(that is what we would know it as even if hatman wouldn't) obviously thought it was quite scary. She let out a scream and slammed her palm down on a large red button next to her steering wheel. This had the effect of the bonnet swinging up and catapulting Hatman. Lynk took up screaming again.

It occurred to the woman in the car with the modified bonnet that she may have sent a man to his doom, she shrugged and continued to inch through the air traffic, she was hungry and it was late.

The wizard looking a bit dumbstruck and helped Hatman from the body of the huge thug.
“T..ThaThah Thank you! I was in a b-b-bit of a f-fix there!” The man stuttered.
...

[psych! you are in reality in control of Hatman's companion, Lynk the Lynx!]

Lynk popped her head out from under Hatman's hat.
“Thanks for what?” Lynk asked.

The scrawny man pointed to the large man. “H-h-hhe was my b-b-b-bBounty, I'm a-a Trans- Tran- Tra, Transformation ma-mage, a-a hu-hu-Hunter!, m-my ma-ma-magic wa-a-asn't working t-though, He-h-ere!”

The mage shoved a bunch of notes and some coinage into Hatman's hand. Then mage changed in a flash of magic into a bear.
With new strength he grabbed the body of the thug and went off growling.

“That money is yours you helped take this guy down, the money is equivalent to half of the reward, bye! And thanks again!” With that the transformed mage went off.

Hatman looked in his hand in confusion.
“What is this, you think it might taste good Lynk?”
Lynk looked out from the hat, she poked a paw out of the hat.

“Here give me a bit and I'll try it”
Hatman handed her one of the coins (Shiny discs to him).
Lynk licked it.
“Blurgg!!!! That was horrible, I don't think it is supposed to be eaten, we should keep it though, that person seemed to think it was valuable.” Lynx said after tasting the coin.

[You are now in control of Lynk and Hatman, you must preface commands with;
-Lynk
or
-Hatman

You may also ask them questions, this will not result in them answering, instead they will ruminate. Depending on the question, they may have to contemplate thier navels.]

Hatman was lonely in the [White Room]. He was all alone there... that is until he found Lynk! Now Hatman will never be alone again!

Lynk stores the paper and discs(money) in the {HATSPACE}, she considers how hopeless Hatman would be without her...

You acquired :moolah: the discs taste bad.

Lynk inspects one of the notes more closely, there is a kind of picture under it, and beneath that there is a phrase.

"True Wealth is Trust"

He gasped at the sight that greeted him, as did Lynk quickly rising from her Catnap. Cars flew through the air. Tall majestic buildings pieced the skies, they were shining, in rainbow colours structures, they looked like wings going through the air. The buildings had plantlife spilling from thier tops and falling down the sides. It was beautiful. It was especially nice looking for a pair who had seen nothing apart from a large boring {WHITE ROOM}...

And lots of hats.

A few birds fluttered across the scene, the effect was spoiled by a car hitting one of the birds and swerving around a bit. The driver swore violently further spoiling the now damaged scene of beauty.

A few police cars came about and arrested the man for drunken driving. So the beauty quickly resumed, a butterfly rested on a nearby flower. The streets of the city were quite green, there was grass and flowers and trees and stuff wherever there was free space.

Hatman walked through the streets in amazement looking at shop-fronts and people. Tasteful neon signs looked lovely to him, though he could not read what they said, Hatman didn't even know that they were supposed to be read, is was possible he didn't even know what reading was...

It would have been difficult to say what he didn't know, mainly because he didn't question what he didn't know. He took everything in his stride, more than that he enjoyed it too. Everything was a wonder to him, and now that he had a companion he had nothing to complain about.

There was a strange flickering picture that spoke.
"... and there is futher reports of anti-dustblood riots all over Sunder, The Monitor of Dome has said that such incidents must stop if we are ever to move forward, however The High Prelate, expresses concerns that..."

Hatman saw a strange bird-like person going into a place where there were loud sounds of merriment, the one with the Green glowy sign.

Neon gave a sadistic grin, it was so much more fun to con card-sharks out of their money than it was to swindle poor unfortunate saps. Neon viewed his actions as a sort of justice, he was legally stealing from legal thieves who preyed on the unwary, the main problem with his logic was that the money he reacquired was often going into his own pockets. He did do jobs for people who had lost money to card sharks, he got their money back for them, but he got to keep any extra winnings and if he didn't get extra winnings he would take some of the money he had taken back for his clients.

Neon smiled, he was entering the final stages his victims were beginning to realise two things, Neon was not the sap they thought he was and Neon was much, much better at cheating than they were.

Neon glanced at his partner, a dwarf that even other dwarves would call tiny(Neon would only have called him so if he wanted to die) in steam powered armour on his back there was huge Ax, a second handle was connected by a chain to the handle connected to the massive sword. He would deal with anyone who started to look for a fight...

Not that Neon was bad at fighting he was actually quite good, he just didn't like getting his hands dirty that's all.

[You try to get Lynk and Hatman to do stuff, but right now, you are this guy!]

Neon is most certainly cheating like a bandit, he has been taking all the money, all of it!

There remained only the last stage...
Neon looked around at the bar he was in, it was quite lively, he had no worries of being beaten The best tactics and the best cheating, there was no way he could lose.

Neon noticed with interest the entrance of a man with an extraordinarily large nose, he was all in white like a hospital patient he was wearing a nice blue hat too. Neon preferred glasses, you could put all sorts of things in glasses, things that would let you see all kinds of... well things, for example another person's card, or the reflection in thier eyes...

Neon instantly knew what was going to happen.
[Neon has absconded]

Everyone else was looking at the small dwarf and the man with the hat. Everything seemed to stand still for a moment.

Then the small dwarf took the HUGE AX from his back, everyone edged closer to cover.
