Picture this: Archimedes Condominium building, towering above the city around it, standing far above the canyon wall. One figure, careening down the side, occasionally catching themselves on a small lip of the windows every few floors to turn himself into a new position as he hits maximum velocity. He checks himself out in the reflections, then flips around to get a selfie with his glass double in the background. Never once does he consider that the impending impact might actually kill him.
That was yesterday. When Octavio had woken up the next morning, it took him only a moment to realize what had happened. So, falling kills, here. Noted, but not necessarily a deterrent, especially given the ‘wake up the next morning’ respawn mechanic this city had going for it. A shower was had, clothes were found, and Octavio was soon off to locate breakfast (hopefully something quick, he had plans for the day).
Elevators should be considered inhumane torture devices. Shifting his weight around, Octavio watched the numbers tick down for what felt like hours. In truth, it was only a couple floors before the door opened up again (not even ground floor--ugh!). A petite woman stepped in and, for a brief moment, Octavio didn’t see anything wrong with the situation. What’s two friends riding an elevator together, right?
❝ Wattson?! ❞ With the exclamation came a full body show of surprise as Octavio took a step back and pushed his goggles up to get a better look. ❝ When did you get here, amiga! ❞
