...in another world

...world’s fountain. I was face first in a fountain in the middle of a crowded town square. My t-shirt and jeans were soaked by the fountain’s water and people were beginning to stare as I climbed out, spitting up water and a few assorted coins. Good to know that heaven’s on point with their portal locations.

The people around me were extremely diverse, like something out of a fantasy RPG game. There were elves, dwarves, gnomes, assorted beastfolk (essentially just humans with animal ears and tails), and even the occasional fantasy monster, all dressed up in typical fantasy clothing. Meanwhile, being dressed in soaking wet modern day Earth clothes, I was the one sticking out. I left the square, hiding in an alley to go over my options in peace.

At least, that’s what I wanted to do. In reality, I got grabbed by a pair of thugs, dragged into the alley and held up at knifepoint for the few coins I had from the fountain as well as my “expensive foreign clothes”. They even stole my tennis shoes, leaving me in nothing but my boxers and ankle socks.
