Ysera Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (This is a little story me and Vermillion are gonna write together. A way we get some creativity out and kick boredom out.) Mellow, Tense, Time. It would be an early morning just like any other, but today, it rained. It never rained on mornings, or at least the rain didn't just start falling at that time. Small, thin droplets of the sky's tears fell upon the land, surprising most of the people they landed on. But not her, nor him. Those tears were welcome, as they didn't have any more of their own.

Vermillion Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It was a morning like any other. As the sounds of the city begun to make their appearance, people waited for the bus, each of them with their stories, purposes and thoughts held tightly. Holding a mug of fresh coffee, she looked out the window. The sky was lightly cloudy as usual, some cars were already moving out, and a number of people waited patiently at the bus stop. She had nothing to do this morning. She was let go from her job two days earlier, and besides being in the lookout for another, she had nothing else she was supposed to do. She could do whatever she wanted that day... But what? Stores weren't open yet, her favorite relaxing spots were also still closed. Suddenly, the bakery became an interesting prospect. Yes, she could get some nice breakfast, actually eat something. She was sick of the kind of coffee she had bought anyways. Not being in a hurry was strange to her. Perhaps she could finally start the day with a smile, and with that thought, she decided she would make that day great. She would go out and do things to enjoy herself, break the usual routine and just have fun for once. And when nighttime came, she'd be proud of her decision, and lay down to a peaceful night of sleep. Perfect. With all that in mind and a handful of motivation, she set out into the outside world.

Ysera Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 It was a morning like any other. As the sounds of the city begun to make their appearance, people waited for the bus, each of them with their stories, purposes and thoughts held tightly. Holding a mug of cheap instant coffee, he looked out of the window. The sky was lightly cloudy as always, cars were already stockpiling on the street, and plenty of people were at the bus stop, everyone looking away from one another, each of them inside their own worlds. He really didn't want to go to work today. He didn't want to be close to those people he knew talked about him behind his back, at least not today. His headache wouldn't let him, either he stayed away from that place, or he earned a migraine. He looked down at the watery mix inside the mug, and with a sigh, he let it spill out of the window. Turning back, he yawned, stretched, got casually dressed, picked up his wallet, strapped his wristwatch, plugged his earbuds to his phone, and put them on the same pockets as always. But wait, did he have money to go out? Upon checking, yes. Did he want to download anything large? He could leave it downloading while he was out. Upon trying to recall, nothing really came to mind. He looked out the window once more, and the scenery had yet to change. That's when, in a single quiet click, the light in the room turned off. Actually, all lights had turned off across every house, building or commerce he could see through the window. Unimpressed, he sighed once more, brushed his teeth, looked at himself in the mirror for a bit... Delaying it no longer, he closed the door of his apartment behind him, locked the place, and slipped his keys into his left pocket. Entering the elevator, he closed his eyes and hoped his headache would leave as soon as he tasted some Caramel Macchiato and listened to his playlists. Quietly, the elevator doors closed.

Vermillion Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Chapter 2: Mellow. She took the stairs. She didn't live far away from where she wanted to go at all. The air was fresh, and a gentle breeze compensated for the warm temperature. It looked like a great day to take a walk. With no trouble, she arrived at the bakery. Plenty of people were in there, and the sound of gentle morning conversations filled the whole place. She was instantly glad she decided to come. After thinking for a little while, she ordered a Mocha and a fruit salad, and picked a seat. While she waited, she looked around at everyone that had gathered there for breakfast. Some of them looked like executives about to go to their offices, some like students about to go to their classes. Being there, she started to think about what she could do next, but as she was thinking, to her surprise, instead of just placing her order on the table, the waitress asked her how she was feeling, and if she was gonna do anything special that day. Surprised, she just said she was hunting for nice things to do, and to her surprise once more, the waitress handed her a ticket to "The Lion King". When asked for the reason for that great act of friendliness, the waitress responded with a smile that she was originally going to use the ticket, but she had to go to the hospital for exams that afternoon, and decided to make someone's day a little better. She thanked the waitress with an open smile, and carefully placed the ticket into her purse. Filled with joy, she ate away at her fruit salad, knowing that an awesome afternoon awaited her. But what of right now? The park, maybe? Yes, that sounded about right, but she decided to hang around for a little while more. The atmosphere there pleased her.
