From his side of things, he was travelling at the speed of light through a tunnel of pure light and sound. His skin and cheeks were flying back, as if he were in a wind-tunnel. Then, like a slingshot, he flew forward and landed in something cold and wet.
In reality, what happened was this: he closed his eyes, focused very hard, and suddenly fell from the sky into a pile of snow.
The teenager in the dark-green jumpsuit stood up and dusted some of the snow off of him. As soon as he stood up, however, a duffel bag containing his provisions and spare clothes fell from the sky and landed on his head, nearly knocking his ski cap off.
*chht* "Agent Hidanstein, do you read me? Over." *chht*
The youth put a hand to his ear. "Yes, Mr. Oleander. I think I've arrived at my destination."
*chht* "EXCELLENT! What are you seeing? Over." *chht*
"It's absolutely fascinating!" The youth excaimed, his scientific mind getting the better of him. "I seem to have teleported near a mountain. The temperature must be well below zero!"
There was a pause.
*chht* "Uh, sorry. I didn't know you were finished. You didn't say 'over'. Uh... over." *chht*
"Well, I--"
*chht* "On second thought, not over! Listen, egghead; I don't like you science-types getting distracted and taking leaf-rubbings when you should be working on the mission, got that? So stay focused and find out what this HOUSE group is planning!" *chht*
Another pause. The Psychonaut part-time agent waited patiently.
*chht* "Uh, sorry. Over. *chht*

"It is." said a young man with bullets strapped all over his body. "Also, how the hell did you pop out of nowhere like that? It's like, whoa..." The strange bullet man started to space out a little bit. "Then you're, like, falling out of the sky and into the snow, man." He snapped back to reality and held out his hand. "Name's Faust. Panzer Faust. And yes, I am named after the anti-tank weapon".

"Just as I thought." The agent muttered to himself. He looked at Panzer's hand and, before shaking it, quickly put a glove on. "My name is Eddward. You can call me Edd." He greeted, smiling and revealing a small gap in his teeth.
"Now, Mr. Faust, if you could just show me the way to the nearest town?"

"Uh... Thanks for the glove?" said Faust quizzically. "And, fucked if I know. I actually just landed here myself out of nowhere, and I'm looking for my... uh..." Faust could tell the boy wouldn't help a wanted pirate, but that Faust was so smart and so slick, he thought of a lie and he thought it up quick. "...Friends..." he said. "I wish I could help you, but I can't. Sorry."

Raz TOTALLY needed a break. Stuff at home was starting to get... complicated. Of course, that wasn't his buddies' fault. On the nights he let his mind wander, he'd catch random thoughts floating through the House of Blue Leaves, thoughts from his friends, wishing for simplier times. And he couldn't blame them, really.
Man... he remembered when it was just him and the Eds, and they went skiing down this mountain.. it was the first time they'd met Felix too. Man, so much had changed since then...
...man. When he had to go to frozen mountians to relax, clearly there was a problem.
His unwanted melancoly drew to a close when he heard voices up ahead. Especially one voice in particular...
...wait. Wasn't Double D still resting down in Bonsai Village?

Faust heard footsteps in the snow. Almost instinctively, he pulled several bullets off his belt and swallowed them. He transformed his left arm into a flesh colored minigun and pointed it at the noise. "WHO GOES THERE?!" he shouted.

There was a sudden mental presence. A familiar one, Edd realized quickly. And, as soon as he saw Faust perform his bizarre technique, he instinctively pushed the piarte down using his telekinetic abilities.
"My apologies, Mr. Faust," Edd said sincerely. "However, I'm not sure how much I should trust a pirate."

"The fuck? How did you know that?!" Faust questioned. "And how did you push me down?!" He began to space out. "Are you a wizard...?" His arm returned to normal.

"A wizard... how absurd." Eddward muttered. "And I would appreciate it if you did not swear in my presence! Such vulgarities are a sign of a weak intellect!"
The young Psychonauts agent looked up. "Razputin, are you out there?" He asked calmly. "Or... other-Razputin? Um... I'm sorry, this is all a tad confusing. Could you come out here and help me clear this all up?"

"Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, sir." Faust said defiantly. "And please, I'm very smart! I could probably make a powerful weapon just out of the crap that's lying around here!"

Well, that steeled it; that WAS Double D's voice he was hearing. But Raz quickly knew it was not the Edd he had left behind in the east. His mental presence was practically in his face, it was so prominient, even while he wasn't in visual range yet; that was evidence of a psychic right off the bat. AND the fact that he KNEW it was Raz... did he come from his world? Or a parrellel dimension to his own?
Damn. This stuff was getting really confusing really quickly.
Shaking his head, Raz plodded on over, regarding the new Edd with a few blinks. How weird it was, to see him decked out in the Psychonauts uniform.
"Uhhh... hi," he greeted, clearing his throat.

"Oh, never mind, it's just some kid." said Faust, rolling up some snow as if he intended to make something out of it.

Edd looked around for whatever Faust was referring to. "You mean... snow?" He asked, confused. "You could make a weapon out of snow?"
Edd was just about to let this... rather horrible excuse for a person up, when he heard Razputin's voice. Edd looked up at the young Psychonaut and smiled. He stood up, releasing his psychic grip on the pirate.
He had no way of knowing he was familiar to this Raz. His psychic defenses were like a tank; nigh-inpenetrable.
"I suppose you don't know me, do you?" Edd asked with a smile. "My name is Eddward. I am a... I suppose you could say a reserve agent for a group called the Psychonauts. Or do they have those here?"

"I have snow... And rocks... There's a twig." muttered Faust. "Damn, I'm not MacGyver. I can't make anything out of this crap. Wait..." He quietly messed around in the snow with said materials.

"Well, uh...." Raz scratched the back of his head. "I KINDA know you... least, I know another one OF you. Except THAT you had superpowers."
Raz blinked and wondered if there existed a normal, non-supernatural version of Double D in yet another dimension. It was funny to think about.
"...buuuut I guess YOUR dimension has influences from MY dimension considering that you're a Psychonaut. Which hey, by the way, is awesome, good on ya for making it in."
