I posted Flock members to my profile!!! I found what I think everyone would look like except for Milo. I don't' know about acting ability, just doing it so everyone can kinda picture what they look like! I still don't own anything.
"Just the girl I was looking for!" He exclaimed, grabbing my forearms. I'd dropped my bag on the floor, spilling out all the food and sodas. Good thing nothing was open. Though by the force of gravity I would say that the sodas would be fizzy and probably explode when opened.
"You were looking for me?" I asked.
"Of course I was! Ms. Morris, I've come to make you an offer. May I call you Luca?" He asked politely.
I only glared at him in response. It was the kind of thing Nat would do and it normally scared the crap out of people. And how did he know my last name?!
"Oh well, I should explain. I take it you know who I am?" He asked, grandly, like he was the ninth king of Spain or something. I knew better though. It was Ferdinand the Sixth.
I simply nodded to answer his question.
"You see dear, I know an awful lot about you. I know, just how brilliant you are. Almost as brilliant as me." He smiled.
Given the use of dialect and vocabulary, I'd say IQ would equal approximately 165. Nothing impressive, but I would seem like more of a badass if I didn't say anything.
"Anyhow, I know what it's like to be so smart. You must feel so…outcast, surrounded by all those idiots. Only I know what you're truly capable of, Luca. And I'd like to help you achieve that. I'd like you to work for me. Of course, we'd continue your schooling with the best tutors. Most importantly, you'd be exempt from our pilot run. I'm sure everything will turn out just fine, but we'd wait for the second or third round of trials before you would be given our product just because you're so valuable." He smiled.
I thought it over before I spoke again.
"You want me to come work for you?" I asked in disbelief.
Arkin nodded. "You're a brilliant girl Luca. And I think you can share my vision! The world is in a horrible state right now. We need to change, to adapt, in order to survive. Don't you see that? I'm just trying to make the world a better place, and to make the people in it better! It's evolution! And the next evolution will be at my hands! Isn't that something you want to be a part of? Something you believe in? Tell me, Luca. Do you believe in evolution?" He asked.
"How can I not? I'm staring at it right now." I said confidently.
"Me?"
I nodded. "If there was ever proof that humans came from monkeys, you're definitely it."
He remained calm, ignoring my insult.
"Your answer is no, then?" He asked patiently.
"Not no. Hell no." I answered.
"Such a shame. What a waste." He said, walking away.
