Its 8 months into the emergence. As Tanner, Lex, Tessa, and Rachel walk out of the parking lot. As they look at the surroundings, a diversity of beings are around. Most of them are somewhat humanoid. A group of pepole too there right, mages in large cloaks, as they carry notebooks, and talk casually. In another spot, a mother that has fox ears, anda tail, with a young kid following her, that was not transformed. As they enter thru the parking lot. Its quite a sight. But one thing unsettles Tanner most. The low quantity of extreme transformed. Many, even other transformed watch him with a slight sign of awe, and concern at this angelic face. As his eyes casually track everything. Inside his crown, is Tessa, nervous about coming to emergence-con. Yet she still came after some convincing by the three of them. Lex is happy, smiling widely, as he observes the crouds, and as they enter the grounds slowly.
His hooves step lightly, and too quitely. As a big mussled warrior walks over with confidence. He wears casual clothes, but a sword at his waist, set him apart. As he says "Hey... Big guy you are special. What are you?" 4 of his eyes, his head still a few inches above the warrior turn. As Lex walks over and says "Hi, I'm lex, this is Tanner." He says with a animalistic innocence. Sunglasses off showing cleanly slitted eyes. Tanner says "Yes, i am Tanner. Got unlucky and became... uh... well... a alien technickly." The man nods "Cool, got any neat tricks." He says "Nothing i can do in public." As his limbering gate moves slowly. Large, custom-made cloak covering his form. With little decoration on the cloak, just large pockets. The warrior says "I'm not nearly as intresting. Just a D&D warrior... thou... i guess this soul sword counts as intresting." He pulls out the sword from the scabberd. A glowing sword fromed from energy, that looks half solid. "Had it happen in the D&D session, it was kinda homebrew, and my soul is split in two. One being the sword." Lex said "Neat, how sharp is it." He sighs "Plenty sharp dude. But its my soul... and well... not many things to slice on earth. At least the mages get to study magic." The man seems deadpan, as if being a magic warrior was utterly useless. "but hey!" He shrugs "Ive been trying to get into a secerity gig or something to use my new sword skills." Tanner nods "Neat." The atmosphere slowly fills, as more, and more arrive. They came rather early.
Soon, they arrive at booths showing off products for transformed. More weird transformed slowly arrive. A roar is heard in the sky. As a few of his eyes look up, and see... a huge ass dragon flying in from the sky. As it lands in a open area in the parking lot. He frowns, as a weird wind force can be felt covering the area. Lex says "Jesus... who becomes a dragon? I think he got it worse then you if he can't shapeshift." Tanner says "I think he can, or else he likely would not come." More weird ones slowly arrive. Humanoids between all kinds of shapes. Some with feathers, cat ears, tais, multible tails. Magic, swords, modern clothes, recreations of fatasy gear. A drawf with a real, glowing sword with runes carved. Along with this, humans, children, untransformed mixed in. A kid runs up to him, and says "Hey! Your very pretty! You look cool!" He looks down at the kid with 7 eyes, as he says "Thanks." The kids mother runs thru the croud, shaken by his apperance, and her kids craze. As she says nervious "Sorry, he means... no harm... sir." He says "Its not a issue." The kid says "You look very cool, like a criptid or something! You should defently star in a horror movie! It would be a great movie!" The very young kid is kinda blunt, but he says "Yes, that is true. But you see, i am a alien, thou not techneckly sense i was human once." The kid nods, as he is dragged off by his mom. Lex chuckles, shaking his head. "Kids, man."
Tessa meanwhile, flutters out of his crown eventually, staying very close, as she sits on Lex's sholder, as Lex goes off to see a exsibit on micro-equipment, and Tanner seperates off from them. As he walks, he goes to look for scientfic opertunities, or other such programs. As he walks, the croud visibly makes way for him. Unsure about being near him. As he sees a booth, where a witch is working, with a sign advertizing "Potions for sale! Humans, and D&D races only! No idea what it does if you don't got the basics!" He walks past, as he sees something that is intresting. As he sees some more science based races, aliens, and such. But there is notibly less products, or booths. Main reason being simple... technology takes infastructure... infastructre that is not on earth. The emergence seems incapable of making cyborgs, or robots.
So instead... he sees a vulcan, as the vulcan notices his approtch the vulcan says "You are a rather intresting species." His voice is low in emotion. As he says "Yes, i am a alien. Not a fatasy race." The vulcan nods. "Nice, it is a rarity to find aliens. Mainly because we often become too ordinary when materalized thru emergence. Simply due to the fact technology, infrastructure, and societies are the fcous, with little, or rare inate power. However, considering your appearance, it seems unlikely you lack power." His feathered eyes nod. It seems those merged with sci-fi races are more use to inclusivity with the more alien. Makes sense. He says "yes, i feel very out of place here." The vulcan nods "Indeed, such is to be expected... i found it... hard to deal with my change in neurology after my transformation. Worse... i did not get any intresting abilities beyond telepathy. As such... i found it quite... useless my transformation. Thou it is helping alot in getting my degree to be this logical."
Eventually, he reached areas where superheros worked. He saw a boxing ring, and sat. As he saw supersoldgers, and superheros box with no powers. Or basic powers. As a healer from some superhero esc world was there to help. As everyone seemed excited to fight, or mess around play fighting. There were some serious fights, but it was alwase stopped just before blood was drawn. Seemingly by skill alone. He heard a sonic boom over head, as a man flew overhead. A teleporter suddenly shows up in the stands, teleporting with a flash of light, and a shift in air. A gravitaional wave is felt immediately by him. Its a very... strong wave. Sharp. He recognizes the face. Aidan Gallagher, he remembers the news reports showing his attack by a unknown militaristic group, and his disapearence. He did not even know he... was transformed. He frowns 'wait... he can time travel too... can the emergence make time travel real?' He wonders with confusion. Not many recognize him. The crouds are too cayotic. As he notices the child actor... but not? As in the lore five is a grown up stuck in a childs body. As he eats a burger and fries in a bag he carried with him, as he teleported here. 5 eyes are focused on him, as they turn away 'whatever... i mean i heard that doctor strange did not get any of his cool magic powers due to them being multiverse related. So there is some limits to what emergence can make real.'
Eventually, he arrives at one of the big events. A speach from the doctor himself. The founder of the narritive foundation. As he sees Tessa, and Lex, they meet up. Lex has a bag with many micro furniture in it, and even micro clothes. As Tessa messes with a tiny object in her hand, only 5cm across. Lit up. He asks "What did you guys do?" Lex says "Oh, we found a cool booth by another fairy, thou a diffrent type, and she was selling many micro furnature, and clothes, and even a tiny phone for 200$. Thou... i must say one tragic thing was that her husband was still... very normal sized, and human." Lex's face is cringed slightly at that. Rachel eventually finds then, and says "I still have my booth to keep manning, and such. But i can watch the speach with you." They nod, as they enter the massive stadium. As the crouds slowly fill in. Chairs are made to fit many kinds of ass, more like long segmented couches then chairs. As Tanner finds one that fits him. As they wait for it to start.
