Your name is Jade Harley and you hate your life up to this point. You stand in front of a conveyor belt separating boxes. Gushers. Assorted flavors of cake mix. Doing this for six hours straight without break time was pretty damn hard.
The Condescension, the Empress, the Batterwitch has finally taken over. You'd thought as a kid that this job would seem enjoyable. You were wrong. So very wrong. You stand there thinking for a few seconds until your thoughts are interrupted by a sharp poke to the back with a trident. The trident is held by none other than Meenah Peixes, The Empress' older daughter. You turn around without saying a word.
"Stop daydreamin and get back ta work damn lousy human" She shakes her head and walks along back to the chair where she monitors the other workers.
You feel somewhat embarrassed. Already disappointing everyone. How many days have you been here? You shake your head and continue separating boxes. Gushers. Gushers. Cake mix. Gushers. Cake mix. Stupid job. Stupid Gushers. Stupid cake mix.
You finally hear the sound. That sound was the one you looked forward to every day. Your shift is finally over. Meenah leads you and the other workers back to your dorms, your prisons, poking and prodding a few with her trident along the way. Almost to your stop, you pass by a small group of workers. You notice your friend John in the group. John Egbert, your friend, the one you've been best friends with since you can remember. He notices you too and waves but Meenah has a close eye on you so all you do is return the wave with a smile.
You seem to be daydreaming again. Meenah shoves you into your room and locks the door causing you to bring your thoughts back to the present. You get back to your feet. For a prison-like room it wasn't half bad. An actual bed and access to food whenever you want. Correction, limited access.
You go over to the bed and grab your set of clothes, the ones you had brought with you when SHE finally took over. You remove your shitty Crocker Corps uniform and change back into your regular old T-Shirt and skirt.
Your name is Jade Harley and you're not sure how you feel about this place anymore.
