the ACCIDENTAL EXTRADIMENSIONAL TOURIST meme

the ACCIDENTAL EXTRADIMENSIONAL TOURIST meme



This meme was inspired by those who wanted more memes in which posters are required to make a start up post.

Have you ever wanted to travel to another planet? Another REALITY? Even if this is something that has never crossed your mind, It's about to happen. For reals. A giant wormhole has opened up beneath you and dropped you elsewhere. You have no choice in what world you're heading to, or even where you'll be landing. Luckily (or unluckily) you'll be dropped near to a resident of the world who will have no choice but to play your tour guide and help you get to know your new home.

How it works


1. Post with your character.  In the body include a little bit about where your character is, and what they are currently doing.  You can write as little, or as much as you want! Just a simple sentence saying something like [John Doe is sitting in his office at the paper company goofing off and playing call of duty while his boss isn't looking.] is fine, or you could go into more detail and write a paragraph or two describing a key place in your world's canon to really set the scene for incoming tourists.

Do not leave your initial comment blank! Set up a scene, no matter how short. 

This text in in bolded bright red so if you leave a blank comment everyone will quietly giggle at you behind you back since you didn't read the instructions.

2. Find someone else who's world you are invading and post dropping in on them.  Maybe you just opened a door and found yourself there, maybe you fell into a worm hole.  Either way you are not where you were a moment ago.

optional:
 The wormhole might have handily provided you with the means to blend in to your new environment.  If you find yourself hopping out into a school, you might be wearing an appropriate uniform, if you happen to fall out into a swords and sorcery type world you might find yourself sporting plate armor or wizard robes, and if you find yourself on an alien planet... well you might look just like the aliens who live there.

3. Remember that with this sort of meme it's probably best to tag outside of canonmates.  But, either way, have fun and try not to kill the tourists!

That's my best guess. Three hundred years, maybe? What year is it just now?

2010.

[She puts her notebook back into her bag and pulls out a different one, beginning to flip through scenes of (her world's) the far future.]

Three hundred years....the moon colony....the flesh-eating bacteria epidemic....the reactor meltdown in Poland....

That future?

Uh--

[ He eyes the notebook. ]

Well, more like four hundred years then, but none of that ever happened. You get that from a sci fi book or something?

You're not from the future, if you don't know about any of that.

[Very smug and very certain about that.]
