True Chapter 3: Work during Vacation?
(Dimension: Unknown)
Well...Uh...Hello? This is Alyssa Sorrel, reporting back with another log...entry?
…
…
…
I'm sorry, but what am I even doing writing an entry? I'm supposed to be on vacation right now! I should be spending time doing stuff that I want to do, not just sit here and write about my day!
…
…
…
Well...I guess I have a lot of explaining to do, considering that I'm whining a lot right now. As I just said, I'm on vacation. Matter of fact, as I'm writing this, I'm not even at my own house! I'm at my uncle's house...Why am I here, exactly? Well, allow me to explain!
And by the way, I just realized that this is the first time I'm not actually recording a log entry for work… well technically, I guess this is for work, but not really. But yeah, things are going to be pretty weird for this log.
(8:30 PM)
(Sorrel household)
"Finally...I'm home…" I groaned.
My shift at work had finally ended, and I was finally able to head home for the day. Usually, when I get home, I'm not this tired, but the only reason I've been working this late was because...I needed a vacation!
For the past few months, I've been working my butt off for this, I practically deserved this after all the physical, mental, and pain I've been going through!
Since today was my last day, Naomi was really bummed out that I was leaving for so long, and I do feel bad, don't get me wrong. I just think that I need some time to relax before Jason's trial starts at the end of the month.
Oh, yeah! I never did write about the extra info I received about the trial thing...Well, I'll explain that in a bit since it'll be a bit confusing without any sort of context.
I walked up the stairs to my home and fished for the keys in my pocket. Let me just say that my house is big, not mansion-sized big, but just...big. Once I found my keys, I opened the door and walked in.
"I'm home!" I called out as I closed the door.
"Alie!" Someone shouted.
As I turned around from locking the door, I was tackled by a young boy. This is Michael, he's my other brother and one of the youngest in our family, with him being only 9 years old.
Michael has the same the same skin complexion as me, the only difference being his short blonde hair, and his royal green eyes. At the moment, he was only wearing a giant shirt that covered-Wait, isn't that my shirt?
"Evening, Mikey~" I hugged my little brother tightly. "Didn't you start going back to school today? How was it?"
"It was great! I got to see a lot of my old friends again!" Michael had this big goofy smile on his face. "I'm sad that I won't go back to school for another week, but at least I can stay home and be with you big sis!"
"D'aww, you're too cute Mikey!" I told him.
For whatever reason, Michael is just abnormally cute, I mean really! I know that he's 9 and all, and he hasn't lost his innocence, but he's just so cute that looking at him isn't good for my health!
"Welcome home, Alyssa." My mother, Sheli, had walked into the room and greeted me.
My mother shares the same skin color as me but has green eyes, and blonde hair, the same hair and eye color that Michael just so happened to inherit. So, by process of elimination, you can take a guess to who I inherited my hair and eye color from.
"Evening, Mom!" I smiled. "Is Dad out working late again?"
"Mhm, he told me that he won't be home for close to two weeks since he's traveling." My Mom shook her head. "Which should be perfect!"
"Perfect?" Mikey repeated and looked at Mom. "Why is that perfect, Mom?"
"Well, both of you won't be going to work or school for a week…" Mom put her hand on her cheek and looked to the side. "So...I thought that maybe we could visit your Uncle for a week."
"We are?!" Mikey and I said in happy tones.
We rarely ever get to see our Uncle, and usually when we do, something fun and expected always seems to happen! Me, Mikey, and even Jason always loved visiting him.
"The both of you aren't against the idea?" Mom asked us.
"I'm going to start packing my clothes! Come on, Allie! You have to help me!" Michael had started tugging on my arm.
"Alright, Alright! Calm down Mikey!" I told him as he dragged me away.
"I'll take that as a no…" I could hear my mother laugh.
So...Instead of spending my first night of vacation relaxing at home, I spent it helping my brother pack his clothes, as well as my own...You would think that this was bad...But I was too happy to even give it a second thought.
We ended up leaving in the morning, just so we could make it to our Uncle's house before night fell. We had taken a shuttle van there, so throughout the whole time I was in the car, I simply just stared out the window...And no, I wasn't thinking about anything important, I was just...Bored.
Mikey had fallen asleep on our Mom's lap, and our mother was just reading a book while smiling. The driver kind of looked like he wanted to end himself and jump out the car, if I remember correctly, I dunno, he just sort of seemed...dead inside?
After a few hours of absolutely nothing happening, a huge sign had come into view. Even though I could've waited for us to get closer, I squinted just so I could make out what the sign said. All I was able to see was one word...That one word was all I needed.
"Tereka…" I whispered.
(Dimension: Omegaverse (?)
(Tereka, Town Square, 4:50 PM)
"We're here! Hooray!" Mikey was jumping around. "I love Tereka! So many fun things happen here!"
"He just woke up, and he's jumping around like a retired plumber…" I looked at Mom."Are you sure that it was a good idea to give Michael this much candy as soon as he woke up, Mom?"
"You know you're brother very well, Alyssa. You should know that if we don't give him sugar a few hours before his bedtime, then he won't go to sleep." Mom told me.
"Yeah, I know…" I looked at my brother and started to sweat a little. "But are you sure that it's alright to give him THAT much candy?"
"...I... Might've have spoiled him...Just a bit."
"Just a bit?!"
Tereka is a relatively big town, so it's fairly easy to get lost if you aren't paying attention (Not going to lie, that's happened to me a couple of times), the town doesn't really have that many store buildings, people usually sell stuff at stalls or rented out booths. However, you should definitely give the town props when it comes to housing since they look so cool! If I owned a house here, I'd definitely sleep outside just to see my house when I wake up in the morning!
...Err...That was a bit uncalled for, sorry. Anyway, we traversed through the town, with our Mom as our navigator, since she's lived here before. Eventually, we arrived at the housing district. As we walked, we noticed someone who had looked familiar to us standing by the gate.
"Uncle Finn!" Michael and I dropped our stuff and tackled our Uncle.
"Whoa, whoa! Take it easy!" Uncle Finn laughed. "I'm not as young as I used to be, you know?"
Uncle Finn comes from my Mom's side of the family, he's her older brother. To be honest, Uncle Finn looks like a much more grown-up version of Michael, the only difference being that Mikey has less hair than him. Uncle Finn was currently wearing a green unbuttoned short sleeved shirt over a black tank top, he also had on jeans and a pair of brown boots.
"Oh, please, Brother." Mom walked up to us and looked our Uncle in the eyes. "You say that, yet you'll forever look and be young."
"I could say the same to you, little sis." Uncle Finn pulled our Mom into our hug. "I guess the same also goes for your personality?"
"Oh, you be quiet…" Mom puffed out her cheeks.
Mom and Uncle Finn have this sibling rivalry going on, it's been like this for as long as I can remember. They do act like responsible adults, but they can act as if they're teenagers sometimes.
Michael and I aren't like that, we both love each other too much to get into arguments (although we do sometimes have disagreements, but those end on peaceful happy notes). And then, there's me and Jason...Arguments between us never existed at all, since the two of us practically act like each other! Jason and I are alike, even our hobbies, favorite foods, and personalities are similar!
"Alright, hug time's over." Uncle Finn said, causing all of us to separate. "I would say that we can discuss this later, but we're going to be having dinner tonight, some guests are going to be coming over."
"Dinner with guests? And on our first day too?!" Mikey is the type of guy who loves meeting new people, regardless of who they are (even if they're some sweaty fat guy who was struggling to pick up his eroge games...God, Mikey was so close to losing his innocence).
"Um...Uncle Finn? Are these guests people we know?" I asked him.
"Hm...Well, technically you've met them before, but you probably won't remember them since you met them at such a young age." Uncle Finn scratched the back of his head. "But don't worry about, you'll have fun."
"Fun wouldn't really be an appropriate word, especially since Neil will be visiting…" Mom said.
"Would, "chaotic", be a more appropriate word?" Uncle Finn asked, Mom only shook her head in response. "Well... Don't worry you'll have chaotic."
...You know, I wasn't really the best in English class back in school, but I'm pretty sure that word isn't supposed to be used in that type of context...or maybe he did it to piss off Mom, considering that she facepalmed when he said that.
We took up our bags and made our way over to Uncle Finn's house, both our Mom and Uncle were chatting about things that Michael and I didn't necessarily care about. I was thinking more about how my vacation was going to turn out and whether I was going to be able to go back to work with bragging rights or not.
Lots of strange things happen in this town, there's almost a new mystery occurring every day. The fact that it's different from all the towns in this country is why I love it, it isn't boring in the slightest.
"Apparently, his stepdaughter is going be coming with him." I heard my Uncle say to my Mom. "He said that she's starting to open up to other people and is willing to come tonight."
"Really? We're going to finally be able to see that shy little girl after so long?" Mom seemed generally shocked but happy at the same time. "I didn't think this day would come so quickly!"
...I wish I understood what they were talking about, but then again, it probably doesn't really have much to do with me...at least, I hope it doesn't.
(7:40 PM)
(Tereka, Finn's House)
You know...I really don't like wearing dresses. To me, wearing a dress or a skirt is basically a girl asking for someone to slide underneath them and what color undergarments they wear. I'm not trying to say that I'm a tomboy or anything! But I just rather wear pants or shorts…
Since we're having dinner tonight with some guests who are coming over, I'm forced to dress formally. My hair was currently tied back into a ponytail, and I was wearing a black dress with matching heels.
"I look...So ridiculous…" I muttered as I stared at myself in the mirror.
I looked like I was going to some sort of high school prom! I mean, we're only dressing up for dinner. "Why can't I look a bit more casual and relaxed?!"
"Alyssa? Is everything alright?" Someone had knocked on my door and poked their head into the room.
"I'm fine, Aunt Romani!" I turned around and acted as if nothing happened.
This is my Aunt Romani, she's married to my Uncle. Aunt Romani had long slightly curly orange hair, blue eyes, and was light skinned. At the moment, she was wearing a pure white dress, with a few yellow highlights here and there. She also had on a pair of blue low heels, and silver earrings shaped like a heart.
"Ah, that's great to hear." Aunt Romani smiled. "You look absolutely wonderful, Alyssa. I already know that everyone won't be able to take their eyes off it you at dinner tonight!"
"P-Please don't say something like that, I don't like being the center of attention." I laughed nervously.
My Aunt is really soft spoken and might be one of the purest people in our family...Next, to Mikey that is. I really haven't seen her do or say anything out of the ordinary, she's just nice!
"Right, I'm sorry." My Aunt apologized. "But if you're ready, I believe we should make our way downstairs. Our guests should be arriving very soon."
The doorbell rang throughout the house immediately after my Aunt had said that. The both of us exchanged looks with one another shook our heads before walking out the door. I just prayed that no one got drunk and started hitting on me…
"Evening Finn!" A man with brown hair that looked like an opened curtain greeted out father. "Hope me and Amaya didn't come late!"
"Nothing to worry about Neil, you came here before we were done setting the table." Uncle Finn was wearing something... certainly formal, but to be honest, only Princes would wear something similar to Uncle Finn's attire.
"Thank God, I got a tad bit worried since we didn't have any sense of time…" The woman whose name must've been Amaya glared at Neil. "Someone forgot to charge their phone, and caused me to drop and break mine a few days ago."
"Hey! It's too late to sue me for the damage to your phone." Neil said. "After all...it never did have a...case?"
….
…
…
...UUUGGGGGHHHHH! HE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! I guess that this Neil person is one of those guys who's comeback always has to be some stupid pun...God, I already knew my night was going to end with me having nightmares. I'm pretty sure I heard someone who sounded like my Mom, groan a few rooms away!
Not even ten minutes had passed, and the doorbell had rung. I was about to open the door, but Aunt Romani was the closest and she opened it before me.
"Oh, Mika! Icarus! I really glad that the both of you could make it!" Aunt Romani smiled happily at the people who were at the door.
"Of course we're here! We wanted to see that child too...Oh, and I guess you guys as well." I dunno why, but I was getting a bit of a Tsundere vibe from who I'm guessing was Mika...maybe it's cause I binged watched that one anime with that really short girl and that guy with a mean looking face.
"Oh, thank God that I got the date right!" Icarus let out a sigh of relief. "I was thinking that we were going to show up at your house a week early!" Does that guy really have that bad sense of time?
By the time those last two came in, the table was set up, food was ready, and everyone was present and dressed..well, at least I thought everyone was present. Apparently, the special guest, who always arrive fashionably late, haven't arrived yet.
"Mom, can we eat now?" Mikey had rubbed his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt that was slightly too big for him. "I'm really sleepy…'
"Sleepy? It's not even close to your bedtime!"...Has Mom really forgotten the fact that she overdosed the boy on candy as soon as he woke up from his nap?
Finally, after waiting an extra hour, the doorbell had rung for what I hope was the last time. "I got it!" I told everyone as I rushed over to the door, the moment I did, I was in utter disbelief.
"W-...What the...Mr. Takahashi? A-And… Mr. McAllister?!" I shouted.
Standing in front of me was Surya Takahashi, the man who appeared at one of our meetings a month ago, and Henry McAllister...who's my boss…
"Oh! Ms. Sorrel!" While Henry was standing there, being his handsome self, I was trying my best not to have a panic attack and completely ruin any sort of chance with him. "I never thought that I would see you here! And might I say that you look gorgeous this evening!"
"O-Oh, th-thank you, Mr. McAllister…" I felt like my feet were going to give out on me.
It was then that I realized that there was another person standing next to Mr. Takahashi, she had the same orange hair as my Aunt, but had amber colored eyes.
"Good evening, Ms. Sorrel. It truly is a surprise to see you here...or so I would say…" What was that supposed to mean? Does he secretly hate me or something? "Oh, and this is my wife, Catherine."
"Good evening! Surya has told me a lot about you Alyssa!" Did she seem...very bubbly? And why was Mr. Takahashi talking to his wife about me anyway? "You two wouldn't happen to be...very close?"
"U-Um...No, I barely know him." There was this weird chill that had gone up my spine, this woman felt like she was thirsting for something...and I think I know what the thing was.
"Catherine quit scaring the girl. I assure you, I'm not seeing any other woman…" Mr. Takahashi sighed. I should've known that she was one of those girls who get defensive over their husbands...but why'd she attack someone as young as me?
"Okay…" I didn't sense any more hostility from Ms. Takahashi anymore, which meant that I was safe.
But I never expected this to happen, I mean...My boss suddenly shows up at my Uncle's house? Who would've thought something like that could ever happen? Speaking of my boss, Henry was looking behind him the whole time, it was as if he was waiting for someone.
"Um...Mr. McAlister? Is something wrong?" I asked him.
"...Ms. Sorrel, would you please excuse me for a few minutes? There's something that I need to do…" Mr. McAlister proceeded to walk out the door and went to the back of a car, that was most likely his.
"That girl…" Mr. Takahashi sighed, which only caused me to raise an eyebrow. "Oh, don't worry about Ms. Sorrel, I'm just talking to myself."
Sure you were, and I'm sitting here fantasizing suggestive things about my boss!...You might be shaking your head in disappointment, but just leave me alone, okay?! Let me have my fantasies!
After that, I invited Mr. Takahashi and his wife into the house. So far, there were 10 adults, including myself, and Mikey, who was the only child here. I feel bad that Mikey has no one to talk to... actually, on second thought, I wasn't really planning on talking with half the people here, so Michael will have someone to talk to.
"My apologies for the inconvenience, everyone…" Henry walked into the living area where everyone was ten minutes later. "But now that everyone is here, I would like to introduce you to someone."
At that moment, the room went radio silent. I'm not really surprised that everyone had stopped talking and put their attention on Henry, but I'm a bit surprised on how quick everyone stopped talking.
"Come on don't be shy…" Henry was looking behind him. Moments later, a girl was slowly making her way into vie-...Is that...No, maybe that's just a coincidence…Anyway, the girl was looking down the whole time wasn't looking up at anyone. Henry proceeded to move behind her and place his hands on her shoulders. "I would like you all to meet my stepdaughter: Naomi McAllister."
...No, this just has to be a coincidence...right? There's no way that's the Naomi I know, she has pigtails for crying out loud! Naomi usually wears her hair down! And McAllister isn't even her last name, it's Muaris!
"...G-good...Good evening…" she was stuttering with her words. This girl was definitely shy...but I can't really say if I knew that about Naomi or not, since I don't really see how she acts around others.
"Good evening to you too!"
"You look a lot better than the last time we saw you."
"How have things been? Is your stepfather treating you properly?"
People were bombarding this poor shy girl with multiple questions all at once, and I could tell that she didn't like it one bit. "Could you give her some space, please? She obviously isn't comfortable around people." Mika noticed it too apparently.
"Unfortunately, that's true. All this time, she's only ever spoken to Surya, Catherine, myself, and... someone else…" When Henry said that, he looked in my general direction...wait a minute… "Naomi, would you please stop staring at your feet and look around?"
I could tell that she didn't want to make eye contact with everyone, but Henry most likely wasn't going to let this slide. Finally, after some time, Naomi had finally looked up...and I had almost fallen over.
"Naomi, do you see how well dressed everyone in this room is-"
"ALYSSA!"
Naomi had interrupted Henry and practically teleported over to me. This girl then proceeded to tackle me to the ground, I'm glad that we were standing on carpet, because if it were anything else, then I'd probably wouldn't be writing this right now.
But onto more important matters...This Naomi, and the Naomi who I know at work...ARE THE SAME FREAKING PERSON?! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?!
"...Wha…?" My Mom looked and sounded pretty confused, and I don't blame her. "Henry, what's going on? How does Naomi know Alyssa?"
I would worry about the stares that I was getting from everyone in the room, but I was sort trying my best to retain consciousness, and not die by suffocating from Naomi's very tight hugs.
"That's a simple question that is fitting for a simple answer…" Henry said. "These two are co-workers, as well as good friends, at my research facility."
"Wait wait wait wait wait...WHAT?!" My Mom shouted...I honestly don't know if she was angry or not. "You mean to tell me that MY DAUGHTER, is an employee at Enigma Reality, the same research facility that is currently using MY SON as a test subject, and to top it all off, it's YOUR research facility?!"
...Yeah, she was pretty angry now that I'm looking back on it.
"That's correct, yes…" Henry nodded.
"Seriously, Henry? When were you planning on telling us about this whole thing?!" Amaya shouted.
"Once we were finished and released Jason, that's when I planned on doing s,." Henry said. "Although, Suyra and Catherine had found out a long time ago…"
"WHAT?!" Uncle Finn's actually seemed angry...it's kind of scared me, to be honest. Uncle Finn turned to Mr. Takahashi. "When were YOU going to say anything?!"
"Well, to be fair, I thought that it was a mere coincidence. I didn't actually visit the research facility until a month ago, that's when I also met Alyssa."
"A coincidence?! You consider meeting an employee who goes by the same last name of that research facility's most prized subject, a MERE COINCIDENCE?!" Uncle Finn shouted. "Mind you, you have a friend who's the parent of the test subject and employee, all of that is just a coincidence?!"
"Surya was tired that day, so you can't blame him!" Catherine shouted. "I mean, I kept him up all night, we were exercising!"
"Why would you exercise all night? Wouldn't you get tired eventually...?" Mikey...this proves that you're nothing but a innocent little snowflake!
"We...really didn't need to know that…" Icarus was blushing quite a bit and was looking away from everyone.
"Now, now, everyone. We shouldn't be yelling…" Aunt Romani attempted to calm everyone down. "I believe we should speak about this at the dinner table, that way, we could settle this a civilized manner."
No one really wanted to argue anymore, so we decided that would probably be the best idea. The atmosphere was still pretty heavy, I never thought that in just a matter of minutes, everything would start spiraling down.
All of the adults started to leave the room and went to the dining area, leaving me, Naomi, and Michael alone. We were going to join them eventually...but that was going to be when Naomi decided to get off of me.
"H-Hey, Naomi?" I said her name. "D-Do you think you could get off of me now? My body feels really numb…"
"O-Oh! Right, sorry!" Naomi proceeded to crawl off of me, which finally allowed me to stand up again. "But I'm so glad that you're here! I thought that I wouldn't see you again until after your vacation!"
"I could say the same to you, I'd never thought that I'd see you here!" I then remembered that my little brother was standing off to the side, staring at us in silence. "Oh come on, you didn't think I forgot you were there, did you?"
"Huh?" I pulled Mikey towards me and made him face Naomi. "Eep! Too close!"
"Naomi, this is my little brother, Michael. You can call him Mikey if you want." I introduced Naomi to my little brother. "And Mikey, this is Naomi, she's a really great friend of mine."
Mikey and Naomi didn't really say anything to each other, they only exchanged waves with one another before Mikey ran and hid behind my back. There was also one more thing I wanted to ask Naomi, I just wanted to confirm something that I just heard.
"Hey, Naomi? Did Henry say-"
"Would the three of you hurry up and come to the table?" My Mom poked her head into the room. "The longer we wait, the shorter our fuses are."
"R-Right, sorry." I said to my Mom.
I was going to have to ask Naomi about this later, since it seems as if we were on some sort of time limit. The three of us left the living area and made our way to the dinning area, where everyone else was seated.
Dinner was pretty quiet, aside from a few comments, no one spoke a word. Now wouldn't really be the best time to ask anyone questions, since the atmosphere was already so heavy.
After dinner, my Mom had went upstairs for a bit to prepare my brother for bed, leaving the rest of us at the table.
"I believe now is an appropriate time to speak about important matters…" Henry cleared his throat.
"Yeah...A great place to start would be answering the question of WHY you currently have my nephew…" Uncle Finn said.
"Jason...has a special power." Henry started. "To put it briefly, his mental capacity as well as a few more complicated things are what makes him so... valuable."
"That doesn't exactly answer the question, Henry…" Amaya said.
"... Do all of you remember the development plan I've been working on for the past decade of my life?" A development plan? Henry has never mentioned anything about a development plan back at work.
"You mean the one that included all that stuff about rebirth?" Neil asked. "Weren't you obsessing over that thing to the point where you started to flip out when someone had stole all your data?"
"Yes, that one… I am still...upset about that to this very day…" Aww, poor baby...I-I mean, Henry.
"Okay, and what does that have to do with Jason, again?" Mika asked.
"I have been working non-stop to complete my rebirth development plan, and in order for me to enter the final stages, I needed... something that only Jason has."
"You're talking about those Fragments, right Henry?" I spoke finally.
"Correct, those Fragments are the very essence I need in order to reach the final step in my development plan." Henry shook his head. "Once I'm able to obtain 3 Fragments...everyone will be happy."
"Don't you think that there's some easier way to obtain these Fragments?" Icarus asked. "I think it's pretty messed up that you have to use someone's child to do so…"
"If I have found an alternate method, then I would've used it instead of taking Jason away from his family…" Henry said.
"One Fragment has already been obtained out of the three, in order to obtain more, we must start a new...trial as we call it." Takahashi said. "However, this one will be different than the ones before."
"In order to overcome the blockades that stand in our way for this second trial, people from all across the world are being recruited to enter Jason's mind." Henry sat back and crossed his arms. "As of now, myself, Surya, Naomi, and Alyssa are one of the few who will be-"
"Alyssa won't be participating in this, "trial"." My Mom had come back around that time, and she had apparently overheard the whole conversation (or at least the part when we were talking about trials).
"Wait, what?!" I stood up from my seat and looked at my Mom. "Mom, why not? This is something that I decided to do. I wasn't forced or anything!"
"Which gives me an even bigger reason to not let you go, especially since this was a choice that YOU made!" My Mom growled. "I've already lost one child to that dreaded research facility, and I'm not going to lose another!"
"Sheli, you have-"
"Surya, I suggest you keep quiet." Amaya suggested to Mr. Takahashi. "I don't think you understand what's really going on at the moment…"
"Mom, please! I understand that you don't want me to be apart of something like this, but-"
"If you understand, then why are we still discussing this?! The decision is final, I won't allow you to partake in something like this!" My Mom crossed her arms. "Doing something like this, especially without telling me beforehand… It's just so stupid!"
It's true, I didn't exactly give her any details about the whole trial. But it's at the end of this month, and this is my first day of vacation! I haven't had the time to actually sit down and have a chat with my Mom about this whole thing before this event because I've been so busy.
"...Sheli, have you even thought about why Alyssa wants to-"
"Henry, have you ever thought about staying out of family matters?" Mom had interrupted Henry. "I've frankly heard enough from you for one night, and I'm sure everyone else has as well."
I've never seen my Mom so angry in my entire life. This was different from the way her and my uncle acted when they argued with one another, that's for sure.
I think at that moment, I was thinking about what Henry was about to say before my Mom had cut him off. I'm pretty sure that influenced what I was about to say to my Mother.
"Mom, did you even think about why I want to do this?" I asked.
"Your reason doesn't matter, you're not-"
"BRINGING HOME MY BROTHER DOESN'T MATTER?!"
I'm not the type of person who likes to get angry at other people, I mean… I consider myself to be quite the forgiving person! But when those words escaped from my Mother's mouth, and into my ears, I just lost it.
I'm sure that I shocked everyone in the room, but I didn't really care. My Mom was who I was focused on, and even she seemed she seemed surprised.
"Mom… The only reason why I decided to take a job at a place where nearly everyone hates me, is because I thought I would get a opportunity like this. Henry offered me this role, and said that I would possibly get the chance to bring Jason home once this trial is done and over with!" I told her. "Mom… I can't just pretend that everything is fine anymore. I can't just keep spending my birthday locked in my room and crying anymore. I can't handle this pain anymore!"
Somewhere through all of that, I slowly started to realize what I was saying and… BOY I WAS EMBARRASSED! I noticed that everyone's eyes were on me, it felt different from before, I could tell you that much.
"... What you say doesn't matter to me either. I'm going to do this, whether you like it or not."I then proceeded to bow before everyone for whatever reason. "Good evening."
After that, I left the dining room. I was too angry to even care about what a they were saying once I left the room. My night was surely something… that's for sure.
And so, that's how I ended up writing this journal entry. I still don't know why I decided to write this when I'm not even at work. The more I write, the more I feel like this is more of a personal diary than log entries for work.
I don't have a problem with it! It's just… I don't know anymore, I should probably head to sleep now, it's almost 3 AM.
… Right, I mentioned earlier that I would give more information regarding the whole trial thing. It's going to be a bit hard to explain, but I'll try my best.
So apparently, the trial is going to take place in a world that was created based off of information that was collected from Jason. I believe this world was called… Gam-Something. I'm too tired to check the documents Henry sent me.
But from what I can remember, I'll be taking on a whole new look, and personality… Well, personalities in my case. My character has multiple personality disorder from what I can remember, so that's going to be fun!
I can only remember bits and pieces of her backstory, but I think that she's a servant to some person named… Uhrevia… Or was it Uhrathia? Maybe Uhravioli? Her name was really complicated, so don't blame me!
What else was there… I wasn't really reading it, I was just skimming through the first time. I remember seeing something about Aspirants, Dimensions, something that started with Nep.
I'll take a better look at it tomorrow, I can't even think straight anymore. Even though I've been writing this for a few hours, it feels like I've been at this for months!
But that's it for now. Alyssa Sorrel signing out…
END OF LOG Author's Note: Heya everyone, hope you liked the chapter. I'll be posting a little update on where I've been in the past couple of months soon, along with something else that may help refresh you on what's happened so far. Look out for that! And I'll see you guys later!
