An earthling's tour of the setting (EM)
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 12:01 am
Intro: the Expanded Multiverse I mentioned in the overview thread gives me some excuses to explore some directions the primary canon might leave behind, while at the same time, being made into the same universe's foundation, so several things remain the same.
This takes place in the EM for the out of universe reason that it originated as one of my myriad daydreams involving a cross over with people from the real world. But the reason that I'm writing it here is just to show off certain things and give lots of exposition. The characters from real world Earth in here are from there just so it is all new to them, giving the other characters an excuse to blabber on as they look in awe at what all mankind has accomplished.
(A quick note, the universe jump points can also jump through time. This allows real life earth people from the modern day to jump to the (an) ASE universe and see a future Earth. I'm actually starting to get a fair amount of working framework set up for all this in my head; it is all consistent with itself anyway in the least.)
This will be written as a short story of sorts over several short posts, packed with things you'll very likely find boring - lots of walking scenes* and plenty of clunky exposition. Just what I love! I'll bold and/or italicsify (that's a word now, I command it!) some headers to make skipping around easier in case you grow tired of something.
* Would you be surprised if I told you that some of my favourite movie scenes of all time are from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Every second where the Blue Danube waltz is playing is cinema gold as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway I'll probably write up the first section later tonight.
