CTY Flashbacks
Hmm..."flashback n. 1. A literary or cinematic device in which an earlier event is inserted into the normal chronological order of a narrative. 2. An unexpected recurrence of the effects of a hallucinogenic drug."
Okay, "CTY as a hallucinogenic drug" is not quite what I was going for, but you'll get the idea.
