Synopsis

Chapter 1 - John Pale -Chapter 1

i'm an average guy, except for the fact i go to the gym sometimes. I even work at Xethesda, the company is large they even made the Fall in franchise. I start to leave my small apartment and go onto the busy streets of π•΄π–“π––π–šπ–Žπ–‘π–‘π–Žπ–“π–† City a modern and sleek city which fused futuristic design with lifts and things with a magic feel, i dodge the crowds of people as i get on the grav bus and watch as the sidewalks pass by and he starts to approach my workplace. I walk around to the side where the fire exit is to avoid the mob angry at the false advertisement and disaster that was Fall in 4. I head up 3 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor of the building where my office is and i usually work, and as soon as i step foot in my office.

"please report to my office john i have something to discuss with you" i hear being said through the intercom in the center of the room, although i call it an intercom it was really just a floating crystal. I hear murmurs from everyone else in the office all along the lines of "how much do you want to bet john gonna get sacked", further making Me anxious as to why I got called in. I start to walk towards his office , which isn't far taking a few seconds to calm my nerves.

"hey why did you call me" I say putting on my most friendly smile to attempt to make him less likely to fire me.

"john i heard that you made a unprofessional comment about the latest Fall in, is this true? don't lie."

lebowski says trying to remember when i said something about Fall in 4 to anyone, remembering i only mentioned it yesterday when talking to my friend and there is no way he would report me.

"yeah i don't remember saying anything i think whoever told you is lying." I say entirely truthful sure that noone told him.

"Alright john you are fired for lying, i originally was gonna warn you but then you lied to my face and implied that I was being lied to. Pack your things up and go." lebowski says bluntly with not a hint of remorse in his face, and if you look closely you could even see hints of happiness.

"well wheres my money lebowski?" I say referring to the rest of my paycheck for the work i did previously before i got fired for the last month.

"here you go, now get out of my face" lebowski tossing a holo card worth 5,000 thousand USD, i pick it up and immediately head out the office not even saying goodbye and i leave all my stuff and leave the office, honestly planning to splurge all my wealth and then go ahead and sell some organs or something. After all the black market is flourishing,ill start by going to capitals and a lot of other stuff albeit cheap i should be able to drive by car since everyone knows a road rip is good for sight seeing. As i walk back to my trashy apartment and car i decide to go to a store , i pick up a lot of food and water for the road trip standing out in the crowd due to the bags of food and water. I head back to my apartment and immediately start packing things into my Car, barely being able to fit most of the stuff from my house and i get in and pull off. I speed down the hallway in the city center looking around admiring the sites of high rise buildings,flying grav bus's and Blue lights, and my eyes are drawn to the giant building which was the tallest building of them all as high as Mount Everest.

A landmark that i was going to see,it was preserved and even made to look better using technology to help make earth look more beautiful. I continue down the highway till i get to an exit leading to another city. Not every city was like π•΄π–“π––π–šπ–Žπ–‘π–‘π–Žπ–“π–†,π•΄π–“π––π–šπ–Žπ–‘π–‘π–Žπ–“π–†was particularly prosperous. The other cities like,π•Έπ–”π–—π–™π–Ž City was a little on the....dangerous side. It was known as a lawless city barely held together although for all people who don't like the law it was a haven, the black market there was thriving you could sell or buy anything from there. Almost all planets have only 2 major cities, this happened due to cities expanding so much to the point there is only one on each pole.

(AN: π•΄π–“π––π–šπ–Žπ–‘π–‘π–Žπ–“π–†=Inquillina π•Έπ–”π–—π–™π–Ž=morti)

I don't have the money to go to other planets so ill just go to π•Έπ–”π–—π–™π–Ž next, after exploring π•΄π–“π––π–šπ–Žπ–‘π–‘π–Žπ–“π–†

a bit more. I decide to head to the main attraction the largest building in the city the Citadel, as i'm driving there i decide to get out and eat I've been in the car for a good 3 hours just sightseeing cause even though I've lived in this city for a long time it still takes my breath away. As i get out i see a person wearing all black suspicious clothes as he heads into an alleyway, i decide to tail him to report him to the police. Walking down the alleyway behind him i notice another man wearing all black approaches him, they seem to exchange something the man i tailed handed the other one a major sum of 1,000,000 USD. Im 100% sure they are doing something illegal now otherwise they wouldn't have done a transaction that large in a back alley.

And then one of them notice me and start to run towards me, knowing that they would probably either kill me or interrogate me and then kill me i run with my life on the line. Till i get to my car and pull off, breathing a sigh or relief thinking that i lost them when 2 cars with blacked out windows who were much faster than mine start to come down the street behind me.

"Pull over!" the men in the cars yell over the wind and engines as they get closer to my car.

"No!" i say knowing it'd be better if i didn't pull over.

"Alright so we doing this the hard way."The man says as he rams my car attempting to knock it off course laughing as he sees me have a hard time stabilizing, and then the other car hits me from the back attempting to run me into the ground or anything to cause me damage.
