-THE MAN FROM BRITAIN-
Monday, 6:30 AM. An office man named Arthur Kirkland woke up by that time, still in a little haze however. A glance upon the wall clock with lazy and sleepy eyes was what he did. He then stretched out his arms with a big and heavy yawn forming out of his mouth. Usually, the man would never feel sleepy at this time, since he does wake up around 6:30, even if it is his day-off.
"Just a few more minutes.."
The reason why he seemed sleepy in the morning was because he slept late; 2:00 AM. Why did he stay up late knowing that he has work tomorrow? Blame the internet for that. A certain website to be exact, entitled BeConnected. The said website is a chat room where you can meet other people from different places, more like the well-known Facebook but simpler than that; no cover photos and other complicated things that are not important for the development of the site. Include the games in that. To put it simply, this site is designed for adults, not for teens and children. Arthur is known to be rather "anti-social", as his co-workers would describe it. He prefers eating by himself during lunch breaks, going home alone after work, etc. Hell, he doesn't even posses phone numbers of any of his co-workers except for his boss but mainly for business talks.
Arthur met someone from that site from the United States. A different country? You could've guessed so. Arthur is British, made in Britain. Of course the five hour time difference is a nuisance to their communication. Arthur would feel tired and stressed (sometimes sleepy) after work, then the American is just having his lunch break at that time. But that did not halt their communication at all. In fact, it got encouraged the two to be more eager to talk, or rather, see each other through the monitor face to face. Although the two have very different opinions and views on things (starting from the manners, usage of words, favorite food, personality, etc.), arguing with each other was pretty much.. entertaining to the both of them rather than irritating. Then in the end, they all just laugh it off.
-THE MAN FROM THE UNITED STATES-
"Yeah, I'll do that. Wait.." An American man hanged up. "Fuck ass bastard from hell.." Excuse the swearing but that is just the way he was. No, is.
6:30 in Britain, 1:30 in the morning in the US. A man named Alfred F. Jones just answered a call from his boss, which he utterly hates due to the latter's "bossy" attitude. But Arthur always tells him that it is usual for a boss to act like that since he is, well… the boss. Saw it through? Yes, Alfred is the American man Arthur made friends with through the site. With his motor mouth, Alfred always, and by that means, always talk to the Briton, never running out of things to say even the simplest and non-sensical things he see and experience in his everyday life which nobody gives a damn about. Hence, the reason why he hasn't made any friends. He tried to, but people just can't seem to tolerate this noisy, or more fitting, boisterous attitude of his. But Arthur was different. He listened to every word Alfred said, even those stupid ones. And instead of showing an irritated expression, he would just reply with a laugh and play along. That is what Alfred liked about him. A nice guy who knows how to listen.
Alfred works online so he just stays at home even during work hours, eyes glued on the laptop screen with burgers and fries around him. He doesn't have the time to cook or do the groceries so he would just normally order a delivery from McDonald's, thus resulting in his love for fast food. With him being with the laptop around anytime, Alfred is usually the one hitting up a conversation first, since he can control his time even during work days; the main reason why he chose this kind of job.
