The Creator
He saw Sarah, or Genesis Ailida Rebecca Alodos as he had renamed her. Sarah was far too common of a name for one such as her. She would be useful in the future. She'd be useful right now. 'Connections' was his one and only thought. That was one of his abilities. A lack of thought. He could think a hundred times faster than supercomputers that would be in use in a hundred years when he had to, and he could think less than a dog if he wishes. Right now, he was skipping through the glitches in the Artifice, watching those who would come into contact with each other soon.
'It has begun,' he had thought, sending it out to all the players. They would soon be playing the same game he is. 'What is it?' they would be thinking when it begins. But little do they know, that's not even the right question.
Alex
Alex, having gotten up, set up the bar. Steven had left through the backdoor earlier, doing whatever it is he does at four in the afternoon. He setup all the tables (there were only seven, but it still took about 30 minutes, due to Steven's specifications) as well as cleaning off the bar. There was nothing worse in the world than a dirty bar to sit at. After stretching out his arms and sighing deeply, he opened up the bar.
But, it was only four. Usually no one came in this early. Once, he had asked Steven why it opened that early. He just rose his eyebrows and ignored him. That was when he realized it was for HIS benefit. Steven made it easy for Alex, so that he didn't have to stress out too much.
Alex sat behind the bar, concocting a beverage he called, "Squoke" due to it being mainly Squirt and Coke. He then realized that someone was outside the door, waiting for the bar to open. He walked over, confused, and tried opening the door to see what the problem was. Then he realized the door was locked, and sighed again due to frustration. He unlocked it, and stared into the blue eyes of a redhead.
"Hey there," Alex said. "Sorry for the mistake... usually the bar is open this time of day. I forgot to unlock the doors... Come on in."
He got the unique feeling that he was being watched, from the moment that opened the door. He froze, trying to figure out where it was coming from. The dark valley across the street? was his thought, but then he realized no one would be able to see from there, except with night vision goggles, and that was unlikely in this part of New York...
What's going on?
