He wakes up.
He doesn't know what he is, where he is, or why he is.
He knows who he is.
His name is Jeff.

I... sort of remember someone. I stopped by the pub after closing up mam's store to kick back a couple with me mates before the walk home. There was a hobo, or at least the gent had the dress of a vagrant, who patted me shoulder and said "get home safe"

>>37320

Me inventory? Oh, the stuff. Yeah I got me wallet with 5 quid left, mam's keys, and ol' Bluey, my crowbar. Makes me feel safe to walk home at night what with those bloody Dwarf gangs in London.

God, my head is killing me. Need some bloody painkillers.

Oh, I don't know abot that. A bit of the right clothing... a touch of make up... you could become quite the looker. You should ask to borrow some of your sisters clothes next time you see her. You never know when they'll come in handy... and I hear silky fabrics feel real nice~...

"Alroight you, you nasty bird thing, I don't know 'o you or ya "Masta'" is, but I ain't the kinda folk to take kindly to this sor' a treatment, you hear me?"

"TERRIBLY SORRY, ESTEEMED GUEST." I don' loike the way 'e says it, ain't a bi' of sinceri'y in 'is bones. "I ASSURE YOU, YOU'LL FIND BETTER CARE FOR YOU IN THE LOWER HALLS." An' all that screechin', enough to drive a fella mad!

"Shut it, bird brain, yer given me a headache. Go an' make yerself useful and get me some painkillas, eh?"

Oh, e's given' me a dir'y look now. Ain't likin' bein' talked down to, eh? "OF COURSE, HONORABLE VISITOR, IN TIME. THE MASTER WOULD SEE YOU IN HIS QUARTERS. I WOULD KINDLY SUGGEST YOU MAKE WAY TO HIM. THIS HUMBLE SORT WOULD SEEK TO ACCOMPANY YOU THERE."

I ain't loikin' the sounda tha'. Bugger wants to tag along, eh? 'e's a big fella', but I imagine 'e can't move aroun' too well in 'ere. Tha' tail looks nasty though.

"Wot's all this then? I've been held 'ere against my will by a bloody water cooler? To 'ell wi' this! Wotcha want outta me!? Where IS here?!"

After a moment of silence, a chuckle breaks out, and a white-robed figure steps out from behind the back right wall. He has a large and obvious pair of wings on his back. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I just couldn't help passing up a good joke. You're not the first person to scream at this water cooler in confusion. Incidentally, would you like a drink?" The man picks up the kamina glasses, throws them off the water cooler, and fills up a small paper cup with water. "Sorry about the glasses, it's a bit of a joke."

Jeff doesn't think it's funny. In fact he thinks it's rather annoying. "That's not funny in the least, ya prat! Now, tell me why I'm here!"

"Oh, right. How rude of me. My name is Malkezadek, by the way. You may call me Mal if you wish. I know you of course, Jeff. You come from the Barony of... Lawn-done, correct?" Malkezadek has real trouble with the pronunciation of London for some reason. Plus, London's a city, not a barony.

"aye I'm from there, so what of it?"

"Good we indeed took you from the proper universe then. Just making sure, really. We need you, Jeff, to ask you a few favors."

Jeff thinks about it a long time. "Can I go gaffe to ma when I'm done?"

The man seems to not understand the accent for a moment, and then nods vigorously. "Oh, of course. As soon as you do something for us we can see about getting you home. Yes, I think that's fair."

"Where am I?" Jeff repeats, not wanting to let this opportunity for information pass.

"This? Why, this is the Nexus of All Worlds. The Anchor, people here call it." The man sips at his cup of water.

>trans-dimensional travel
Oh lawdy.

Take water, ask why we're here.

What kind of.... favors?

>What kind of favor?

The water's room-temperature an' not that good. Still, helps m'head.

"So why me? Why am I here, what d'you need me for?"

The man drops his almost jovial manner immediately. "It's serious, Jeff, and since you went right for it, I'll drop the joking and get to it."

He sighs. "You're an orc. You know that well, but what you don't likely know is that your world is only one of the hundreds of thousands that used to have orc populations. Someone has been traveling through all the varying worlds, ending all races but humanity."

The room spins. I feel dizzy, and my vision is blurring. "Oi, whass inna water...?"

The man continues talking as though I hadn't spoken. "You've been selected by the wiles of magic itself to be the champion for your world. Nearly a thousand years in your past, what you would name Anno Domini One Thousand Ninety Four, a great orc leader was supposed to arise, one that would halt the wars of extermination lead by humanity in that era. He has been assassinated in his infancy by our enemy. If this error is not corrected, you will have never been born, along with the millions of other orcs in your world."

The man's wings spread, and I feel like I'm being pulled away from everything. "Wait... this's insane..."

"Lead your people, Jeff. Take a new name, find a tribe, gain power, and defend yourself against extinction. You are the sole hope for all of orc-kind."

The world fades to black.

You could go the stupid heroic route, where you challenge the opposite leader to single combat for the victory, or the careful way, where you lead the army as normal.

I was never much for schoolin', always seemed a waste o' me time. 'Owever, there was a Blackhand gang o' chavs always hanging by the south end o' London. Tried to rough me up a coupla' times, they did. Reckon they're related? Ah, I've not the brains for this.

This don't sound so bad an idea. "Sir Grots, you reckon I could 'ave myself a chat with their leadah?"
