Chapter one:
It was like any other day.
I wake up in the morning like someone is calling for me to awaken. I went to work which is in a big black building known as Rooster teeth after I was done preparing myself for the day. I decided to make a stop at the Achievement hunter office since they are some of my closest friends.
The Achievement hunters were only created about a month or two ago but they've become popular with the fans in that time.
I am almost instantly greeted by my friends.
"Hey Lindsay." The red head named Michael greets me. He is kind of cute but I back off and I helped Gavin to get together with him as I saw that they were happier together. He is right now sitting at his desk that is beside Gavin's as Gavin sits at his own seemingly watching what Michael was doing but taking a moment to glance to me and nod in greeting.
"Yo what's up." Ray asks getting my attention. He's lounging on the white couch with Ryan. He's laying against Ryan's chest as Ryan had been watching him play a video game on his DS though with the sound off I couldn't say what he was playing.
Then finally there is Geoff and Jack who are at Geoffs desk but had turned to look at me upon my entrance.
"How's it going?" I ask all of them glancing around the room with a smile.
"It's going great!" Ray responds with a smile. "I'm just about to defeat Pokemon moon!" He responds happily turning back to his game to continue.
"We just finished a new let's play. Say maybe you could be in the one tomorrow." Geoff says as if the thought struck his mind as he was talking.
"Sure." I agree with a smile. "I'm sure that it'll probably be lots of fun."
"I would think so." Gavin says flashing a friendly smile.
"Okay. Then it's settled. You'll join us tomorrow." Geoff says with a nod.
"Okay well it was a great visit but I should go now. I promised to do some voice acting today." I tell them and I give them a wave before leaving hearing them say their goodbyes being said as I leave the room. I head off to where the voice acting is going to happen and I make it to be just on time.
"Ah Lindsay good to see you." Gus says and he and Joel stand there with smiles on their faces. "Lets get started. We have quite a bit to get through today after all. Both X-ray and Vav along with RWBY need to be updated soon after all."
"Yes sir I say and I head into the booth putting on the headphones placed there as I stand in front of the microphone.
Before me is also a stand with the papers holding my lines on them.
"Okay." Gus says. "We'll be starting with your RWBY lines." He explains glancing at his own stack of papers slightly going through them before stopping to look up at me as I speak.
"Okay." I begin to read my lines doing my best on this. I don't want to mess up and disappoint the fans obviously.
But then again when I strived for my best I reached it and this especially comes out when I'm doing voice acting which I quite enjoy doing.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow as I will get a chance to play a game with my best friends.
... But when tomorrow came... And I found myself at work once more... There was something that struck me as odd...
I was walking along when I was approached by Michael. I froze in my spot when my gaze reached his eyes.
His right eye has become completely black save for the red iris that is still there. "Hey Lindsay you ready for the lets play?" He asks with a smile as if nothing is wrong.
"M-Michael... What happened to your eye?" I question worriedly wondering what could have happened to cause this.
Michael looks at me in confusion. "I don't understand what you mean. My eye is fine." He says before turning away. "Now come. It's time for the lets play." He takes the lead and I follow as my mind tries to think of what happened to his eye.
I can't help but take a glance around yet no one seems to even notice something wrong with Michael. I bite my lip at this unsure what to think about it.
We make it to the Achievement hunter office and even as Michael looked at the others in the eyes none of them seem to even notice his eye.
What is going on here?!
We did a personal heist in GTA V which included robbing a bank and escaping via he train.
It was fun though my attention was often distracted by knowing what Michaels eye looked like.
In the middle of the lets play I wondered to myself if the others knew and just weren't making a big deal out of it.
Though I wasn't sure I should ask around since Michael might not want me to snoop into his personal life like that... What if he's just wearing a contact for a filling and didn't take it out? ... Yeah that must be it.
... Right...?
However that was just the beginning...
The next day the people around me began to blur but everyone was acting normal as if there was nothing wrong.
I go to the Achievement hunter office but I freeze when I see that their colours have become dull and they seem to be doing what they normally do... But somehow it doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic as it once was.
Even as Michael and Gavin share a kiss and look at each other in their eyes; or as Ryan wraps his arms around Rays waist pulling him close so his back is against his chest as he holds his lover.
They don't even seem to notice me and my breath picks up in pace at this sight.
I turn and bolt away from there and slow once a little away panting as I hunch over to catch my breath. "What's going on here?" I question as I start to catch my breath. I stand straightening. "Is it just in my head?" I wonder to myself for a moment then I decide to begin walking around Rooster teeth unable to truly focus on anyone and if I truly did try I would catch glimpses of their eyes being cast into shadows with or without bangs. I didn't understand what was going on but I wanted answers... If I could just reach out to one of them... I reach... But my hand falls through air as if I had missed them. I turn to try again yet the same thing once again happened. My breath begins to pick up in speed as I slightly spin around trying to watch the others as they go by. I close my eyes tightly then I dash away and when I slow to a stop opening my eyes I find myself outside. "What is going on here!?" I wonder frustrated and panicky to myself taking a few deep breaths before I turn and head back inside. I head to Gus's office and I knock only to wait for an answer.
"Come in." Gus's voice comes from the other side.
I open the door going inside finding Gus in there and he looks at me... Kind of... His eyes are cast into shadows so I can't see them at all like he's wearing a mask or blindfold. I move in coming closer to his desk. "Gus. I'm going to go home early." I inform him and he frowns in worry.
"Is everything alright?" Gus asks me.
"I think I'm just a little sick. Probably nothing major. I should be able to be back tomorrow. I might just need some down time."
"Alright try to come in tomorrow." Gus says with a nod.
"I will thank you." I nod and I leave grabbing my stuff and I hurry back to my place. I slam my front door shut once I reach it and I slump against it with a sigh. "What the hell is going on around here?" I question myself and I bring a hand up running it against my face. I lower it then push away from the door heading inside deciding to take a nap.
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
