Who: Callum, Efof and Amber
Where: They aren't sure yet
When: They don't know that either
Efof regained consciousness and got up off the ground. CK and Amber
did the same. Callum glared at Amber, "This is your fault you know!"
"Are we dead?" Asked Efof. He looked around.
They were stood in a busy marketplace, many buildings surrounded
them, people were speaking a strange dialect and ignoring them.
"Great, we're on an unknown planet, with no way to get back!" Said
Callum. "Except this wormhole remote, which is no good without an
actual wormhole drive!"
Amber looked around, "Are you sure this is an alien planet?"
Callum listened to their language. "Oh no, this isn't an alien
world
it's Liverpool!"
Efof dropped to his knees. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
"No, Efof! That's good! It means we're on Earth." He stopped someone
on the street. "Excuse me, what year is this?"
"2104 you twat, and why are you wearing that stupid spacesuit?" Said
the local in a scouse accent.
"Yes, were alright! Your plan didn't work!" He pointed at Amber, who
scowled back.
"I don't need you two! I'm going to live my own life!" Said Amber,
and ran away, pushing people out of the way as she did.
"Great, so now we just need to contact the Space Core, and get them
to tell the Blue Dwarf to come pick us up."
"Easy!" Grinned Efof. Then he realised lots of people were staring
at him. "Erm
have they never seen an alien before?"
"Probably not, we'd better get going!"
They changed out of their spacesuits and bought some normal clothes
from the local GAP.
"Why don't they make any with 4 sleeves?" Asked Efof.
"Just leave you extra arms covered up for now" Said CK. "And keep
that hat on too! I don't know how people will react to an alien with
genitals on his head."
As they walked down the street they were almost tripped up by a
rough hairy man sweeping the road.
"Mind your feet!" Said the voice. "Its hard enough keeping the
Queen's roads clean without people standing on them as well."
"Okay old man!" Said CK avoiding the crazy roadsweeper. He tapped
his head to Efof implying that the man was a nutter.
"Hangon
" Said Efof, turning around. He walked back up to the man,
who had his back to him, and a dirty hat on. Efof pulled the hat off
and the man turned around.
"Get off, that's my hat! I bought that on the day of the Queen's
inauguration!"
"SEYMOUR!" Shouted Efof.
The man grunted. He face was rough, he had a unkept beard and
straggly hair. His fingers were rough with work.
"So you know my name eh? Do I know you?" Said Seymour.
Callum walked over. "Oh my god! What's happened to you?"
"What do you mean?" Said the man. "Hard work has happened to me!
I've been working these streets for 4 years now since I got thrown
out of the Space Core. Bastard Clarkson Brethren framed me for the
destruction of that ship
the Blue
erm
Blue Dwarf! But I know it
was them!
. Or someone else
" the man ranted. "But it wasn't me!"
"What
so hangon? You're saying that The Blue Dwarf never set off?"
Said CK.
"And you never went to Ffion? And never rescued
me?"
"What? Eh?" Said Seymour, continuing to sweep the street.
"So I'm still frozen in stasis on the Ffionion satellite!" Said Efof.
"No
you're here." Said CK.
"Oh yeah
so how does that work?" Asked Efof, his mind spinning. He
held his throbbing head. "I don't think I'll try thinking about it
too much!"
<OOC- This may be a bit confusing to start with, but I hope people
like it. We've changed history! The Blue Dwarf never launched, so we
all have different jobs. Think of this as a `what if' storyline. Try
and get everyone together and we'll figure out a plan to make the
timeline right again!>
