MetaStory, Part 1: Some Assembly Required

Horatio Q. Booper-Snoot needs a team. With his good friend and assistant, STEVE! and their Five-Dimensional Banana Slug, Fligbug, they need a Librarian and an Orphic-tinker if they are to discover the secrets of The Multiverse in time.
But it's going to take some convincing, a little Dimensional Borrowing, and a fair knowledge of transfractal morpho-physical intragerbil dynamics theory. And copious amounts of Dwarven Battle Bread and alcohol.
