The Where in the Multiverse am I? AfterlifeNot-Tim finished signing the autograph and passed the dodgy Matirx DVD back to an ecstatic Taxon."Whoa," he said in awe.Not-Tim nodded towards the computer. "Now look them up.""Huh? Oh. Yeah." Grinning, Taxon put the DVD aside and typed at the computer. Suddenly his facefell. "Uh-oh."Not-Tim gave a start. "What happened?"Taxon shrugged. "The intranet is down. We've been having all sorts of problems since we switched toWindows Vista... ah, there we go. Okay." He glanced at the sheet of paper that not-Tim had handed tohim and typed in the first name. "Right," he said a short while later. "Jack Traven is kind of, um, a dog."Not-Tim choked on the oxygen in his mouth. "What?""...Yep. Alex's dog, in fact.""What?""Hey, I'm not the one responsible. Don't worry, he's happy. Eating well, and he'll soon be fully toilettrained."Not-Tim put his head in his hands. "How's Alex?" he asked without looking up."He's a good master.""I mean after he died.""Oh. He's working at IBHA as an architect.""IBHA?""The Isolated Bubble of Hyperspace Afterlife. They're building a new recreational wing. Alex is helpingwith the design.""...Okay. What about Jjaks?"Taxon typed in his name and hit the Enter key. "...Uh-oh," he said.Not-Tim looked up. "What? What happened to him?"Taxon blinked. "Huh? Oh... Nah. Windows just crashed. Hang on, I need to reboot the computer."Not-Tim returned his head to his hands.**Group A: Conor, John C, Johnny U, Paul, Nelson, Tod, Jesse, Kip, cornflakes guy+ Group E: Ludlow, Eric, Marlon, Rupert, Derek, Heaver, Jack not-TravenRupert leapt to his feet in shock as Derek gave a shout."What was that?" Ludlow demanded, staring at the suddenly-vacated spot on the cave floor."Someone took Winston," Rupert said breathlessly. "Some old guy... appeared and grabbed him andvanished..."On the other side of the fire, across the invisible line separating the two groups, Johnny Utah raised aneyebrow, but it was dark and no one saw. Near him, the cornflakes guy was meanwhile staringmournfully at the fish that Paul had kindly cooked for him. He wanted cornflakes. He didn't want fish.":(," he vibed again."Are you eating that?" Jesse asked him.
The cornflakes guy looked at him.Jesse tugged experimentally at the fish, met no resistance, and took it for himself. "Thanks," he said.There was a fairly animated conversation going on in the other group, consisting mostly of:"He was just sitting there!""What d'you mean he vanished?""I don't know! He just-""Are you sure he didn't just walk off?""YES!"From out of the darkness came the sound of footsteps and voices, and the sound of something beingdragged-Several figures emerged from the shadows with a dead but edible-looking alien creature and dumped itnear Ludlow and co. "Dinner," one said.Others glanced at the newcomers of Block F. "Who are they?""Ask them," Ludlow muttered."Someone kidnapped Winston and vanished," Rupert reported.John Constantine got up. Curious eyes followed him as he went looking for Marlon and more fish. Johnhalted and glared at them. They stopped staring, and John continued on his way to the pool.**Group C: Julian, Kevin, Griffin, Scott, RonThe lift doors opened on the top floor, and they got out. The lobby door was hanging on its hinges.Griffin stepped over it into the stairwell; the door to the main corridor was in a similarly wrecked state.The corridor itself was littered with the bodies of dead guards, victims of vicious physical attacks. Thefive of them moved past in uneasy silence, heading for the arrival room, still lighted, with someone still-"Hello."Kevin fell back in shock and crashed into an unhappy Scott. He hadn't been unhappy a moment ago,but falling Kevins have a tendency to change one's mood.The receptionist gazed calmly at them from behind the blood-stained desk-to-ceiling barrier. "What areyou doing here?""You're not human!" Kevin said, pointing an accusing finger at her once he had regained his footing.The receptionist gazed calmly at him. "You're not supposed to be here. Go back to your floor.""What's going on here?" Julian asked. "What year is this?""2009. Go back to your floor or I'll call the guards-""THE GUARDS ARE DEAD!" Ron suddenly yelled. "Everyone is dead! Don't you get that?" He basheda fist against the unbreakable barrier and glared at the receptionist. "How do we get home?" he askedthrough gritted teeth. "How do we get back?"The receptionist gazed calmly at him. "You're not dead," she pointed out.The receptionist had been Captain Obvious in a previous life.Ron shouted something incoherent and probably rude and went psycho on the barrier until Kevin pulledhim away, the teen struggling to get away."Let me go!"
