Chapter 1: Down the Rabbit Hole
Let's start things off shall we? My name is Steven. I'm 5 foot 10, about 200 pounds, blonde with blue eyes, and 19 years old. I'm a gamer, like, big gamer. I was actually on my Xbox when it happened, talking with some friends.
"Dammit Johnny!"
"What!?"
"Stop getting yourself killed!"
The first voice belonged to Storm. Storm is our resident loon. He is way out in left field. Storm is Asian, 6 foot 2, black hair that is in bed head style, dark brown eyes, light skin, and well built.
The second voice, obviously, was Johnny. Johnny is well….Johnny for lack of a better term. He is usually a mix of Tucker and Caboose from Red vs. Blue. He's 6 foot 4, Canadian, has green eyes, brown hair, and tan-ish white skin.
I was the third voice. Out of the three of us, I'm the sociopath. That's only because I like to mimic some of Ryan Haywood's quirks for my own personal entertainment. We were playing a round of crucible on Destiny for the 360. Johnny was in last place while me and Storm were topping the room. As the match ends, something weird started to happen to my T.V.
"Um guys…there's a whirlpool on my T.V. screen, and it's pulling things into it like it's a black hole."
"G1, you're not the only one." Said Storm. By the way, they know me by my gamer tag. They know my real name, but professionalism is what we pride ourselves in. (My tag is G1 ArchAngel. Yes I realize I'm unoriginal with user names.)
"You too, Storm?" Questioned Johnny.
"Johnny, Storm, you see it too? Are we sharing a trip or something somehow?"
"No." Storm deadpanned.
"Nope." Johnny responded in the same tone as Storm.
"Well shit. What do we do?"
"What can we do?"
"Don't be so pessimistic Johnny. We could always jump in…"
"That's a bad idea, dumbass."
"Johnny, G1…, the pull is getting stronger…"
"NOW OR NEVER LADIES! ALLONS-Y!"
"Sunnovabitch!"
"Johnny, you're Tucker, not Grif!" I like RvB a lot if you haven't noticed.
"What!?"
"Don't worry about it."
"Guys, now's not the time."
"Since when was Storm the voice of reason here?" The two of us speak in unison. It was then that we were pulled into the vortexes on our screens.
"Geronimo!" Guess who. (This guy)
Next thing I know, I see the two of them and we are falling out of the sky. Storm was untangling himself from a purple haired girl that was rambling on about how she was used to falling like this. Just gonna tune that out for sanity's sake. Mental note: Stay a good 5 feet from her. Speaking of mental notes, do not jump/get pulled into vortexes. Bad things happen.
"I immediately regret my decision."
"Oh, and why is that?" Johnny asked me, his voice absolutely dripping with sarcasm and spite.
"Well I kind of figured we would be much closer to the ground from the get go."
"This isn't an episode of Doctor Who, you know..." That doesn't stop me from wishing it was. Plus, I don't go running around and crushing your dreams now do I Johnny?
"Two things Johnny."
"What?"
"One, where are Storm and the girl glued to his arm? And two, is that a river?"
"Don't know and yes, yes it is."
"This whole day is gonna suck a great big bag of dicks, isn't it Johnny?"
"Probably."
*Splash*
Author's Note: Well, I'm hoping whoever decides to gives this a chance likes it. I don't think it's all that great but meh. If you're gonna critique this or whatever, all I ask is that you please be gentle.
