A quick scenelet. Arc 2, after the Sol system gets the rosette of "theme Earths":
The shuttlecraft dropped me off in an open meadow a couple of hours' walk from the nearest city - a walled city, from what we saw on the approach. It was just me - there's too few of us and too many places to go look at for us to be in groups, and I have experience surviving even in a magic-rich environment. My only real concern was whether the Starfleet Universal Translator in my earpiece would work. I started walking.
An hour later, I sat down on a rock beside the road, grabbed my packed lunch, and dug in. Until I was interrupted a few minutes later. "Excuse me..." Looking up, I turned to see a petite - and cute - girl wearing clerical robes, which made me a bit homesick. It looked like she'd come from the city I was walking toward. "I know that you don't know me, but my god Mylee said I'm to adventure with you now. My name is Anna, and Mylee told me in a revelation that the Hero I'm supposed to serve would appear from the sky, so when we saw your flying box land and let you out, I knew you were the one I was to serve during your adventures."
Aw, crap. And she even pronounced "hero" with a capital H. Well, at least now I knew which story this part of this world was from, and maybe she was friendly. On the other hand, another girl in my life. Just my luck.
Hmmmmm... I just might actually use this in a real story, once we finally get this far in the Metacontinuity.
