I noticed that apparently this site has been around for a year or longer and yet has almost no threads, so I'm going to go ahead and crosspost my story here. Everything in the Author Notes applies still, and this is the first thing I've written outside of school.
Once I woke up, it felt like I was laying on something both hard and soft, if that makes any sense. Like, the top half of my body is laying on something that's soft while the bottom half is on something hard. I guess it's not particularly weird in certain situations, but in this one, it is, as I remember falling asleep on a comfortable bed. Which is why it's weird. I open my eyes and see the sky, which is also weird. I push myself up and see that I'm laying in a park playground, and am partly on that bouncy stuff that I don't remember the name of, and the steps leading up to the slide and monkey bars as well as the rest of the equipment. No wonder it was so uncomfortable. So, now to figure out how I got here, and why those teens that are hanging out on the swings are staring at me like something is wrong with me. Though, I guess that might be normal considering where I was sleeping. I stand up and begin to walk in their direction, only to feel something rub against my leg... is that a tail? Why do I have a tail? WHY IS THERE A SCALY TAIL ATTACHED TO ME!
"Hey, do any of you, by any chance, happen to have a mirror or something?" I ask the teenagers, my voice a little shaky from the surprise and slight panic.
They continue to stare for a moment longer, then one of them silently reaches into their bag, and pulls one out, handing it to me, while another pulls out their phone and starts to call someone. "Here you go, give it back soon please?" says the one who gave me a mirror.
I look in the reflection and see that I have some more scales covering part of my cheeks, and some on the top of my nose. I also have some horns on the side of my head and let me tell you, they are quite visible. Basically, I look like an Au Ra from Final Fantasy 14. Honestly, not the worst option. Could have been a Lalafell or something. But that is also not what I should look like! Seriously, what is going on, how can I fix it, and where am I? I look back at the teenagers. Well, they are as good a source of information as any, I suppose.
"Where am I? This is not where I fell asleep, as far as I'm aware, so I'd appreciate some help." I ask a little pleading.
"Well, we are in Brockton Bay, but I don't know what the park is called. We didn't check." The teen next to the one who had called someone earlier tells me.
"R-right, thanks for all the help. Now, I'm going to sit down on those stairs, and process everything. Excuse me." I go back to the playground and sit about where I woke up.
So... Brockton Bay. Right. Now, what do I remember that name from? It must be important, considering how ominous it feels to me, but why? What makes it so important? Unfortunately, before I get far into that train of thought, someone yells something at me. Something both good and bad. Good, because now I know where I am. Bad, because while I know where I am now, that doesn't really the fact that I'm now in Worm, and have no idea what I can or should do. As for what was yelled? Well, at least that wasn't bad and is probably going to be of at least some help.
"This is the PRT! We are here to help! Please come with us peacefully, and we will do all we can within reason to help you out." A man in a PRT uniform shouts at me, and a hero I don't recognize is standing next to him. Not surprising I don't recognize them, considering I'm not the most familiar with Worm, and it can be hard to get a good idea off of half-remembered memories and descriptions using only words.
I stand up again, and start to walk towards them, a little relieved that I can possibly get some help, and have a more comfortable seat than a random park stair. Those things are far from being super comfortable.
I'm jumping into this super late, and on a complete whim, so this may or may not be absolutely terrible. Still, at least this is one of those stories that doesn't really require planning, right? Anyway, I'd appreciate any constructive criticism anyone can give me. Also, if someone can come up with a better name than this one at some point, that would also be nice, as I'm actually awful at names. And the whole PA aspect may not be shown at first, but it will come, and soon at that. And that's all I feel I needed to say, hope you enjoy!

This may be an awkward place to leave it off at, but I couldn't think of a better time than this. Anyway, hope you enjoyed at least a little, despite the fact that this is probably pretty low quality. Feel free to leave any feedback you want, and correct any mistakes you find. Hopefully I will continue to improve as I write this, as it's just as much for writing practice, as it is for fun.
