Line 2:
A restaurant in [[Lawndale]] that has a "dimensional wormhole" in back, according to [[Cupid]] in the controversial third-season ''Daria'' episode, "[[Depth Takes a Holiday]]." Easily the most notorious establishment in town, at least in the view of ''Daria'' fandom, Good Time has been used in numerous fanfics to create [[crossover]] stories or allow exploration of [[alternate universe|parallel Dariaverses]], almost as often as it is used to reconnect Lawndale with [[Holiday Island]].
Stories making use of the cross-universal nature of the wormhole date back to at least 1999 and include those by the following authors (in alphabetical order)
* [[Angelinhel]]: "[[A Day (un)Like Any Other]]" [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19543&p=263682#p263645 on PPMB] (HIH)
* [[Dervish]]: "[[Call of Quinnthulhu]]" ([[crossover]] with H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos)
* [[Firah]]: "[[See You in the Funny Papers]]"
* [[Richard Lobinske]]: "[[Holiday Kombat]]" ([[crossover]] with ''Mortal Kombat''), "[[Three]]"
* [[Lorenzo Sauchelli]]: "[[Dial M for Magic]]" [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20758 on PPMB] (HIH)
* [[Lycissa]]: "[[Second Chances]]" and its sequel, "[[End of the Line]]"
* [[Medea42]]: "[[The Slacker Within]]"
* [[Mystik Slacker]]: "[[A Warrior Maid of Lawndale]]" ([[crossover]] with Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom novels)
* [[Nemo Blank]]: "[[Restrain Jane Lane|Restrain Jane Lane! or, Stupid Cupid]]" (HIH)
* [[RedPanther]]: "[[Essay of Exile II: Return to Lawndale]]"
* [[Scissors MacGillicutty]]: "[[Where's Mary Sue When You Need Her?]]"
* [[SoulfulZen]]: "[[A Curse of Bad Timing]]"
* [[TAG]]: "[[Guys' Night Out]]," "[[A Hard Days' Night]]
The rationale for the wormhole's existence varies from tale to tale. "Illusions" established the idea that the wormhole is produced by an ancient alien artifact embedded in the rear wall of the restaurant, an idea used also in "Guys' Night Out," "Second Chances," "Three", and "End of the Line." The aliens who created the device are called the [[Architects]].
