I am now taking prompts on the theme of In the City
When Evangaline’s Aunt died, it fell to her to clean out the old house where her Aunt had lived and, before her Aunt Asta, her Aunt’s Aunt Ruan (family history stopped there, but Evangaline felt as if, if she tracked it back far enough, there would be an unbroken line of Aunts back into pre-history). As a childless Aunt herself, she accepted that the house would now become hers, but not that she needed to keep the piles of accumulated auntieness that filled it.

Date: 2012-01-19 12:35 am (UTC)* A visit to Earth-Town, the tourist supported human settlement in an alien city. There are of course the cheap 'Earth' memorabilia sold on every corner, the street vendors with cheap 'human' food for adventurous aliens to try (Sushi carts, pancake carts, "What? It's just ice." "We call it a snow cone. Plain, cherry, grape, even wasabi flavored if you're brave enough.")
* Or in Tir na Cali, a few generations onward from the 'current' time. Someone with the agency goes on an undercover mission to investigate after a second generation free Cali cat person who has been successful in business decides to invest in establishing a new town. She did get the local Baroness/Countess's approval first, but of course word of it has spread to other free Cali-cats some of whom are moving in...
* Inhabitants of a city realize that they have no history. As near as they can tell they spontaneously appeared on whatever world they are on (which doesn't appear to be the middle of no-where Alaska/Canadian north like they though) at least a generation back. There's no space ship, no stargate, just a city on its own (okay, I stole this idea from Steve Gallacci's Albedo/Erma Felna comics, although IIRC in the background of that setting there were multiple cities, but again the sudden realization that they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere with no record written or archaeological of how they came to be).
