An alley somewhere in Chicago...

The figure of a man with a large coat and a big top hat tumbling around surprises a homeless man lying in the floor.

The man with the coat and the top hat collides with a wall and stays still for a while.

"So... tired..." he thinks, and he is right. He just spend an awfull lot of energy in 'canceling' his other half, Mister Ktl.

"Must... rest..." he says, as he slowly sits on the floor and closes his glowing eyes.

One second later, he opens his eyes again, but the light coming from them is gone. He looks around, and starts screaming.

"Hey, what's the freakin deal, can't you see I'm trying to get some sleep here?" the homeless man says "I mean, one minute you say yer gonna rest and the next you are screamin like a woman! You don't make no sense!"

"I-I'm sorry..." the man with the coat and the hat says "But I could swear I was in my appartment two seconds ago... and now I'm in some dirty alley... What the hell happened?"

"Wanna know what happened? I'll tell ya what happened! Yer nuts, that's what happened! Now shut it and lemme get some sleep, tomorrow is gonna be a very important day!"

"Uh... OK..." the man with the coat and the hat says "I-I'm gonna be leaving now, so..."

"Yeah get out!"

"Yeah... bye..." the man with the coat and the hat says as he walks to the street. He looks around, confused, noticing that he is wearing a hospital robe under the coat... and then noticing he has a coat.

He looks at the name of the streets, and he's glad to see he's still in Chicago. As he walks, still confused, a woman looks at him, takes a deep breath and says:

"YOU!"

"Wha...? Me...?"

"Yes, you!!! I just got fired becuase of you!"

"Wha...?"

"You think you can just... walk into a store with your... big smile and shiny eyes... take whatever you want, and leave without paying???"

"Take...? Big smi...?? Shiny eyes???"

"Oh, don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about! You are not fooling me again, Mister! If that's your real name!"

"I-I'm sorry, ma'am... but I must say that I honestly don't know what you are talking about... you must be confusing me with someone else..."

"Confusing you? Confusing you??? Do you see someone else using a giant top hat?"

"I have a hat...? Whoa, I have a hat..."

"Yes you have a hat, one you stole from a department store, one I letted you steal! They fired me becuase of you two minutes ago!"

"I can't remember any of what you have just said, ma'am... b-but if what you say it's true, I must say that I'm really sorry for any inconveniences I could have caused..."

She looks at him for a second, and as soon as she realizes she's feeling simpathy for him again, she screams:

"I TOLD YOU YOU WON'T FOOL ME AGAIN, YOU... PRICK! Now GET LOST! If I ever see you again, I swear I'll call the cops!"

She walks again, leaving him wondering if what she said is true...

"Maybe she's right... Maybe hours... days passed between my living room and the alley... Maybe I did all those things and now I can't... She's really something, isn't she?... can't... But I'm glad I wasn't using your body back there!... who are you?... I'm sorry, how rude of me, my name is Mister Mxy... I'm Mick Harrison... wait, what the fuck are you doing in my mind????... Well, I'm... afraid I can't reveal the reason of my trip to this dimension... You did all those things...? GET OUT OF MY BODY!... Now that is just rude... GET OUT OF MY BODY! NOW!... Look, pal, I would love it if we could co-exist, I would really do, but I'm afraid that ain't possible... What the FUCK are you talking about? GET OUT!... Look, lets act like civili-- OUT!!!!... Oh, you asked for it...

The eyes of the man with the coat and the hat start shinning again, as Mister Mxy reposseses the body. He starts walking, ignoring all the people that were watching him argue with himself, and says:

"Now... where were we?"
