Hello world ~ (:

Notes: I've had this idea in mind for a few months already. This week... I REALIZED, I HAD TO GET IT OUT. Anyway, I know you might find this short "prologue" a bit boring, and to be honest it's just an insight of Rin's daily schedule. I just thought it would be a good idea to write a bit lightly before getting into the deep dark secret-y stuff. x] enjoy!

Prologue: Daily Life of Rin Kagamine

Get up, get up! Today is Wednesday September 22nd, 3011. Wednesday September 22nd. Would you like a one-day hydrating cup of coffee? On sale now at… or perhaps…

The radio alarm clock was immediately silenced by the unruly slap of a hand. "Shut up, I don't care about school…" I mumbled into my pillow and tossed in bed. Too late. The bed tilted forward, and in a matter of seconds I was sitting on the wooden floor. When I looked back, my bed was already made. "Good job." I staggered up and went to the bathroom.

One minute later I was fully clothed, my hair straightened and my face shining with happiness. Even my supposedly ragged shoes were washed and polished. I sat down at the breakfast table. "Oh technology, how far you take us," I sang as my plate of steaming food slid across the table from a chute. "And how delicious is this?" I chewed thoughtfully on a piece of bacon.

Time for school. The door automatically opened for me, and locked as I stood outside. I ignored the dying rosebushes next to the door and skipped out to the car. "Command sequence: Take to school." I spoke clearly into the microphone. Safety belts secured me in place while I watched the world whirl by.

"Five minutes until destination reached." A robotic voice came from the dashboard. Forty miles in five minutes – would you believe that? A millennium ago, it would have taken much longer, I'd heard. I shivered… what would I do without supersonic cars? The school was forty miles away, only because constructors decided that making the inner city a utopia of flashy advertisements, blinking signs, and sky-high skyscrapers was a good idea. I didn't object to it at all, and neither did the rest of the world.

Finally the car came to a stop. "Destination reached." I clambered out of it and grabbed my electronic pad, the only thing I needed for school. It was so incredibly boring to just sit here and learn, so the community leaders had voted to cut school time down to three hours. This, I believe, is definitely enough. First stop – history class.

"Did you know that a millennium ago, people used these huge and bulky things called computers?" The teacher pulled up a 3D image of an enormous mechanical device connected to a screen. Everyone laughed, including me. How stupid, we were much past that now with our technology.

"Teacher," A girl stood up nervously. "I heard that last millennium…" She shifted around. "Students carried around three hundred paged textbooks to all classes, and school was eight hours long." The class was in an uproar.

"Eight hours? I'd surely die."
"Three hundred paged textbooks are so last millennium."

I smiled and agreed silently inside my head. Three hours was so long for school, but it passed somewhat faster today. I stared across the classroom at Len Kagamine. The cutest boy in the class, huh? I winked at him. He saw and winked back at me as I giggled girlishly. I couldn't resist a guy like him at all.

I reversed my morning actions and found myself back in my apartment. Nothing to do, nothing to do… so I did the sensible thing and turned on the television. A documentary on the world was playing, so I plopped down on the sofa and tuned in.

"As of now, the world is reaching its peak. But we still have much to accomplish in the next hundred years." A woman was talking as she strode along the sidewalk of a metropolis. "As you know, we already made a huge jump in the last millennium. Polls showed that school was unnecessary, and most would rather sit back and relax. Technological complexity has increased by so much that we can't even find a word to describe it. We are in the process of making sure that technology benefits you and your life to the maximum." She smiled. I smiled too. It's already benefiting my life quite a bit.

I dozed off in front of the television and woke up several hours later. Today was Wednesday. Pasta night. My food came barreling out of the chute, and I ate it up happily. Wasn't today productive? I sure thought so. An hour later, I found myself tucked into bed automatically. "G'nite." I yawned, closed my eyes, and fell into my slumbering state. Life was so easy to pass through. Everything was done for me when I wanted it.

That was before I met her. Rin Kagamine – myself, but not quite.
