Codex: So, ready for another chapter?

Siel: Absolutely!

?: Can I start talking yet?

Codex: Hey, get back. Not yet.

Siel: Codex, who's he?

Codex: Umm...

?: Since it looks like he won't be telling you my name anytime soon, it's-

Codex: Roll the chapter!


~x2x~ Wow, It's Way Nicer Than I Remember

The line to go onto the clue was unusually short. I know it's been about two weeks since it was released, but still, that's only two weeks. I was actually on Themis thing a few days ago, and there was at least three times as many people there as there is here. Well, whatever. Just means I can go to my destination faster.

Once it was my turn in line, the people at the desk put a bracelet on my arm and escorted me to one of the booths. I logged in and put in all my information and stuff and proceeded smoothly until I got to the page where it told me to put in a pin to identify where I would like to go.

See, there was one place that I wanted to go, but I couldn't remember what the code was. Some of the codes for some places are really short, while others are long as hell. Luckily though, the scientists who made the machine were smart enough to make the number passcode to places as simple as the numbers on a phone, as if you were going to type it in on a flip-phone. Ones being used to indicate breaks between letters and zeros for breaks in words. And the number-pad had all the letters on it as well. So, I typed in the passcode.

99991666166618166617144412

[That's Zootopia if you typed that in on a keypad.]

Once I pressed enter, the little loading circle popped up, calculating my numbers. Once it was done, it asked me one… different questions.

"You are going somewhere where people are different. Do you wish to be like them?"

I knew what it was talking about , and pressed the flashing, red NO button. It then asked again.

"Are you sure?"

I pressed the green YES, I WISH TO STAY LIKE THIS and I exited the booth when it pushed out a card out of the side that looked white that faded into black towards the bottom.

When I got out, my escort was waiting for me. The guy just stood there, not making an effort to try and make conversation. I could tell they just didn't want to be bothered. He only said what was needed to be said, and I was fine with that.

I wasn't a mute, but that doesn't mean I talked. I only talked to 3 people in my life, well, this life; my three closest friends. There are also a few store clerks and stuff in there, but those are the only ones that I talk to on a regular basis.

Anyways, when my escort and I got to the panel, I slid my card through the indentation in the machine and it made a few noises, before a green flashing READY FOR DEPARTURE sign appeared above the CLUE.

I walked to the door that opened and took a deep breath before walking away from it for about a few feet only to hurl myself forward into it, getting odd looks from everyone except the staff, who wore shocked faces.

I knew why. It's because it is speculated that if you go in there walking at anything quicker than 2 mph, you'd be torn apart from the inside of the machine. I knew that it was complete malarkey though. And that's what makes it a perfect way to make it look like I died.

I didn't want to be remembered here. I would keep the bracelet though, just in case I needed to come back for something.

Right before I entered the machine, I whispered to myself and anyone who could actually hear my quiet voice, "I'm gone forever."

And then, everything went white.

I didn't pass out or anything, it just takes a minute to reset your vibration frequencies to the correct universe.

Everything soon started to take form, and in much brother colors I must add. I saw buildings, cars of many shapes and sizes, plants and greenery, damn, even the setting sun looked brighter than the one in my universe.

"This is way better than Earth. It's even brighter." I sighed to myself and looked off into the fading light in the sky. "Wow, it is way nicer than I remember."


Siel: Well, that's definitely one way to start a story.

Codex: I'll say.

Siel: Well, of course you'd say that, you're the one who wrote it.

Codex: Guilty

?: So, when can I come out?

Codex: After the next chapter.

Siel: Hey, Codex, do you know where Christie is? I haven't seen her in awhile.

Codex: Umm...

?: I know where she is.

Siel: Oh, really? Could you tell me?

?: Sure, she's-

Codex: Alright, don't say it. Let's just get done with this.

Siel: Fine, but I want answers soon.

Codex: Okay, bye.

Siel: Bye

?: Bye
