1	''VideoGame/HalfLife'' meets Creator/DavidLynch. You read that right.

3	This... strange short story was the product of tropers Tropers/JohnAlexanderHitchcock and Tropers/{{PeabodySam}} noticing a slight resemblance in two really strange creepy characters with an otherworldly vibe, and deciding to work out what would happen if they actually met.

5	The premise is simple enough. G-Man is at a party, when he is approached by [[Film/LostHighway a certain other creepy mysterious character with an otherworldly vibe and unknown intentions, morals, or motives who may or may not be human]]. A bit of shenanigans involving Series/{{Fringe}} and Film/TheAdjustmentBureau and HilarityEnsues.

10	!! This story provides examples of:
11
12	* AffectionateParody: Tropers/{{PeabodySam}} is a big fan of VideoGame/HalfLife while Tropers/JohnAlexanderHitchcock admires the works of Creator/DavidLynch.
13	* TheCameo: By characters from Series/{{Fringe}} and Film/TheAdjustmentBureau of all things.
14	* TheEndOrIsIt: "Prepare for unforseen consequences."
15	* EvilLaugh: The Mystery Man, at the end.
16	* GenreShift: Normally both these characters are extremely unsettling and not exactly people you want to have anything to do with as long as you can help it. Put them both together and suddenly they become hilarious.
17	** In Film/LostHighway, the scene where the Mystery Man claims to have met someone before and then answers the phone at his house while still standing right in front of him is a very creepy scene. Here, it's PlayedForLaughs, largely because the guy making the call is just as creepy.
18	* HumanoidAbomination: ''Two of them''.
19	* MoodWhiplash: When the G-Man calls his house after the Mystery Man tells him he is there, anyone who has seen Film/LostHighway knows what's going to happen next... [[spoiler: except [[Series/{{Fringe}} September]] accidentally picks up the phone instead, and then the Adjustment Bureau has to fix it so that the Mystery Man picks up as was originally supposed to happen]].
20	* NoodleImplements: We never find out just ''what'' was in that package the Mystery Man planned to give G-Man, just that the latter already knew.
21	* NoodleIncident: The Mystery Man is very sure he's met the G-Man before, at his house. When this happened, if at all, is anyone's guess.
