Grock and the Iron Doppelganger

Grock vs. Grock (Campus Glitch Edition)

A year ago, a physics experiment went very, very wrong—and somehow very right. Grock, an orc from another world, was zapped into our universe and dropped onto a university campus. Since then, he’s been figuring things out: surviving modern life, dealing with humans, and even sharing an apartment with a very confused (but surprisingly chill) roommate.

Fast forward to today.

Grock is just standing around campus, probably minding his own business waiting for Edwin so that they can make their court appt for handball … when—flash of light.

Now there are two of him.

On the left: original Grock, fully adapted to Earth life, immediately hit with:
“The fuh…?!”
Because sure, he’s dealt with smartphones and cafeteria food—but this is a new level of nonsense.

On the right: freshly-zapped Grock, mid-adventure, still mentally in “fight the ogre” mode:
“Dude… I was literally in the middle of a battle, there was a flash, and now I’m staring at a gray version of myself. You explain this.”

Same orc. Same brain. Same attitude.
Zero patience on either side.

The comedy comes from the instant realization:

Earth-Grock knows exactly what happened… and knows it’s going to be a problem.
New-Grock expects answers… from the only guy just as confused as he is.

It’s less of a dramatic multiverse encounter and more like two identical roommates arguing about who just walked into whose life.

Meanwhile, somewhere on campus, a group of physics majors is about to realize they’ve made the same mistake twice.
