okay that was enough tv for today... my head hurt even when thinking about it.
let's just go now, I don't want to get involved with these kind of thing sooner or later.
I locked the door to my house, as I left the apartment and started to make my way to the cafe, weirdly despite the insanity that's happening around me, I was able to walk unhindered with the occasional people screaming their lungs out on the street... it's probably an investor or something, in this kind of world it was wise to not invest in something that you can't control.
I finally arrived at the cafe in front of it are a sign that reads *CLOSED, DON'T COME IN* I pushed the door only to find it locked... I go behind the building and knocked on the door.
after knocking for a few minutes the door is opened, the one who opened it is a women who towered above me, she has a blue flowing hair and a blue eyes.
"uhhh, Ellie said the-" I said nervously, who wouldn't if you met a gigantic woman that could crush your head with her boobs.
"oh yeah yeah yeah, I know I heard from Ellie that you'll be coming, don't you think the m-" kana said pushing me inside of the cafe as her chatterbox continues to attacked me.
I have the urge to cover my ears but I knew that was a mistake, she talked and talked as I absentmindedly walked in the direction same as her hand who guides my back by pushing me.
she tried to talk to me more until a knock on the door sounded, a saving grace as she excused herself to open the door, as I absentmindedly sat on my usual chair, the girl who's on my left greeted me by waving her hand.
"Manny! what's wrong you looked kind of... out of it. " Anna said her tied blonde ponytail swishing on the air.
"there's... a lot of thing happened recently. "I let out a sigh.
"I'm sorry for your loss. " she said cupping her hand as if to pray, wait! not that kind of loss! I mean technically she's right but.
"wait wait! it's not THAT kind of loss. "I said verifying my situation, this gal really like praying for some reason.
"oh? then what did you lose, a game match? money? o-"she said before I quickly cut her off.
"money... money. " I said with a downcast expression, its okay if I lose half of my money, but most of it? yeah I need to share this or else I'll go mad.
"ouch, that's rough buddy. " a hand patted my back as Ellie came over to my right side.
shortly after Ellie came over a domineering voice is heard on the front of the meeting table, a woman can be seen wearing a business suit and a jacket that hangs on her back, I could totally see her smoking and wearing a sunglasses.
"alright! listen up. " she spoke making the whole room quiet down.
"now, all of you probably knew about the whole currency falling thing, did I guess that right? " she said the last statement in a hushing voice to kana, who was sitting on the chair to the right.
"yes." she said in a concise and clear voice, no unnecessary word needed only a word would suffice.
"now this day is supposed to be your payday, but... since the currency that we use has been unusable, we opted for a replacement. " she said, it is true that money right now means... not a whole lot, but how did this even happen??
"you can wait for a replacement later when the whole world economy has been stabilized, we also received news that every form of currency has plummeted mysteriously. " ALL OF THEM???
"the government or what it once was reacted quickly by releasing a form of currency called credit, and that's the old one. the new one however is a shiny blue rock. " as she said that, she tossed a blue and round rock which emit a mysterious glow, and she also open up her phone to display a money icon presumably the credit.
"the credit is a... crypto currency, I don't know how it works so I'm going to let kana explain it for me. " she said sitting down on the chair while kana stand up.
"crypto currency is a currency that's stored on a digital computer and is not real in a physical sense, its called crypto bec-. "as kana said that, the boss raised her arm.
"that's enough kana, sorry for the short explanation as we are short on time. "she gestured to a clock... it's broken.
"for the rock, we'll be giving a bag full of e'm. " she place a sizable bag, at least enough to carry a whole school supplies.
then everyone began to talk to each other, the table suddenly became crowded as all people around me are considering an option... me? no way I'm getting scammed again by crypto currency, when I started to fully considered to work or not, I saw an advertisement... I was a young boy at the time so I grabbed it as fast as possible, the promise of having just laid back and relaxing life taunted me until I can't hold it anymore.
so I tell my superior that I wanted the rock and left, I'm not the best at socializing, so I just wanted to go home as fast as possible to avoid complications and headache.
is it the right choice? I don't know but I can take a risk as my grandma probably able to let me in the apartment for free for a while, besides I saw decimals so... no way.
i go through the same route and the insanity is still there, people screaming, crying, shouting, and doing all kind of stuff... it seems however has worsened to the point of me calling a taxi.
I got to the taxi and just realized that I don't have any money.
"do you use dollar currency? " I asked, honestly I just remembered it when I'm already at the front of the apartment.
"no... " the young man said drawing his voice out.
"but it will be appreciated if you told me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!!!! "he screamed at me, his eyes is full of confusion and paranoia.
"what?? " I mean there's a lot of things going on, he should specify things.
"first I ate at taco ring, the spicy kind so I was left shitting for four straight hour and when I came out EVERYTHING is in CHAOS, please tell me I'm not hallucinating. " he said almost crying, I mean I would when everything goes bonkers.
"ah, let me recall... in the spans of four hours since you're shitting there has been, a video game that came out after three weeks of incessant advertising, overthrown government, uselessness of money, two new type of currency just came out, and a destroyed economy! can I go home now? " honestly this is why I don't eat spicy food anymore.
"by the gods... what did I smoke? " he said contemplating his life in that moment.
"oh! and don't try to kill yourself, this is very much a real world! just look at your hand. " I said going through the apartment door.
he looked at his hand... there are four finger, a mad laughter is erupting from the cab.
I went inside of my apartment, locked the door and went to sleep immediately.
===============
the next day arrived as a notification on my phone is sounded, in my haze of sleep I flail my arms to my phone stand until I managed to grabbed it.
[Ellie- a new game just came out, you want to play it? ]
wha- what's happening?
[manny- aren't you supposed to be working? ]
[Ellie- the cafe? it's holiday or what they say]
what holiday??? please tell me this is not a joke.
[manny- you're joking]
[Ellie- I'm not lying. they say we got a holiday for a month]
really...
[manny- press x to doubt]
[Ellie- I'm not lying, just... check the news]
with a renewed vigor of the promised holiday, I quickly scrambled into my living room, not noticing a new door that just appears out of nowhere.
"A HUGE HALLUCINOGENS INCIDENT JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY, PLEASE AVOID GOING OUTSIDE. " a loud blaring siren and an automated voice system filled the whole house with an exaggerated noise.
"WE ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE, PLEASE STAY HOME WE ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE. " the same automated voice is currently speaking in very loud voice, I tried to reach the remote before I woke up the entire neighborhood up.
"CALL THIS HOTLINE IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBL-" I tried by lowering the volume down but it's all for naught as the voice is still very loud, so I immediately deactivated the tv.
wait! so all of that wasn't real?? you know what... I don't care anymore, let's just play with Ellie.
[manny- what game is it? ]
[Ellie- you're too late, I'm already in the game]
[Ellie- aren't you the person who hyped the game for weeks or so? ]
[manny- what game??? wanna play together or what? ]
[Ellie- fine, fine it's change online, you are literally the one who bought the pre-order, why are you asking me this? ]
is it because of the hallucination? anyway what does she meant by pre-order? I remember swearing to myself that I will never pre-order a game ever again.
maybe the hallucination makes me buy the game! but if it has to come with a capsule or... is the door always three? I lived here for 7 years and I never noticed there are three door... I opened the door to see a HUGE capsule in the room, the capsule occupied three-fourth of the room leaving only a little room for me to walk.
"holy poopy butthole. WHAT IS THAT! " I screamed.
=================
also Manny is 18 years old... just saying.
