A Murlocian native gets isekai’d to Thomassia

She’s outside, walking.

Normally she’d be in an office right now, but there’s been little transcription needed, and staying when there’s nothing to do would be pointless. So she’s walking, and waiting, restless and bored.

 


And then she’s standing stock still, frozen in shock, in an unfamiliar environment.

It's a pretty, green park, surrounded by skyscrapers in all directions! They're so far up that it's hopeless to see the top, but there are so many people around, enjoying the warm weather, including quite a few boys and girls running around and climbing on trees or walls, enjoying the amazing weather, under the watchful and caring eyes of the adults. There's a real sense of happiness and peace, here.

…what. Is this. Why? Is this.

 

Those are aliens of some kind, probably? She doesn’t recognize them, so they might just be an obscure species of animal. Are they sapient? She looks more closely at the… buildings?

…That looks like glass, and if it’s not, it’s exceptional stoneworking. And she doesn’t know of any buildings that high except for a few monuments, all of which are well-known and not this. Somebody here is sapient, at least.

Well. Might as well walk up to one of the taller probably-adults, and see what happens!

An adult woman, seeing the... very decisive and gigantic ant, jumps back in fright and quickly steps away, the terror visible all over her body. She shrieks, looking all around her, asking herself if she should attack it before starting to talk at it. "Hello? Where are you from?"

Flinching is probably bad, but she can’t be sure, they might have really weird body language. She’ll stay very still, and back up slowly if she doesn’t seem to calm down. 

“I’m Aliat, of the Wooded-Forest-Location-Highly-Values-Freedom Hive, which I don’t believe is around here? I certainly don’t recognize the area.”

"Yes, that isn't here at all! How do you work, how are you possible?"

“…I’m not exactly a biologist? What are you asking about, exactly?”

"Well, I have lived here many years and know what animals look like, and don't know how an animal looking like you could arrive here!"

“Oh, I have absolutely no idea how I got here. I was just walking in the forest. I’m not even sure it’s the same planet.”

"I suspected such myself! Well. You're here now. This is where you are. Welcome."

“Thank you! Where are we? Are those buildings made of metal? Wouldn’t that get extremely hot in the summer?”

"This is Esaki, and those are buildings made of metal, yes. They get hot in the sumer, but we have a system that moves the heat out from the building so it doesn't get too hot in the summer."

Permalink

"Huh. Does that noticeably increase external temperature?"

Permalink

"Not really? It's connected to a big system that pumps the heat into the ocean, so it doesn't heat up anywhere outside, really."
