A car had pulled over on a sidewalk, in front of two boys chatting with each other. The taller one was carrying what seemed to be luggage, and the shorter one was talking to him, congratulating him. Although, the difference in height wasn't that explicit.
"So, Robin, good luck out there! Though, I'm sure there won't be any problem. We're talking about you after all."
"Alright Phil, see ya around. Don't miss me too much!" Both gave each other a quick fist bump and a hug before the taller one, Robin rides on the car, which incidentally had no driver on it. Robin waves goodbye to his friend, and focuses on the road.
He was 17 years old, and it had been his 7th year working as an intern on the company [Techne], a company where his father worked at. Back when he was a kid, he had an innate talent for making devices, and his father, seeing his potential, decided to take him in as an intern, hoping he could learn more. At first, Robin was indifferent, and only did things that he was told to do, sometimes with resistance, however on his second year, he had began developing a sense of initiative, and began gaining interest in his work. He continued to grow and expand his knowledge, and such a small step of being interested in his work had gotten him far. He had specialized in softwares, but also had some knowledge in building machinery.
As the self-driving car was doing the work for him, he was looking around at the city he wouldn't be seeing for awhile. It was his hometown, Prim, and to say it was a center of progress was an accurate observation. Barriers that acted as railings for the people on the sidewalk, preventing them from crossing while the walk sign is red, skyscrapers that are the center of trade of the city, streets that are very clean, courtesy of the robots that work to help maintain cleanliness in the surroundings, and the humans walking around, doing their daily activities. He could see people wearing suits, some wearing uniforms, and some wearing casual clothes.
Of course something that were always visible were the different holograms that scattered the city. Gone were the days of using billboards and large televisions for advertisements, holograms were the new trend, giving ads a more professional look, whilst costing companies less.
(I will surely miss this.)
Today he was going to be sent to a sister branch of the company located in another city. He was going to arrive in 2 hours, and so he sets the car to drive autopilot. He decides to pass the time by taking a nap, planning to wake up when he's 30 minutes away from his destination. He lets the sweet embrace of sleep overcome him, and soon, he is out.
Robin wakes up when something hits the bottom of the car, bouncing him upwards from the momentum. He takes a few seconds to realize what happened, he looks around, and sees that he was still on the road. This time however, he was no longer in the city, as all he saw around him were mostly grasslands and some forests in the distance. He concludes that he was somewhere between the two cities. But back to the problem. "A speed hump?" he asked himself.
While he was having this thought, he hears a loud shattering sound, and all color was drained from his vision.
"What?! What is going on?!" His vision is now grayscaled, and he panics, trying to take off his seatbelt, but it not budging a single bit. A few seconds pass by, and he realizes that it was getting brighter, his hands becoming like sketches, with only the outlines defining the shape, before everything turns white, then black. He passes out.
Okay, so AN time, AN time, AN time! (Anyone know Dashie? No? Forget I said that then.)
So this is just a prologue to give you an idea about the OCs, just giving a bit of background before the story, a little bit of seasoning before we get into the meat.
This is important! From here on out, here's how to identify dialogue in this story:
