[center][i]„Suki 'Valentina' Matisashi and Kanamaru 'Joshua' Matisashi”[/i][/center] --- Suki was just about to head out to work when her brother suddenly started yelling. Profanities in Japanese weren't common inside, not where mum and dad could hear them, so something must've been very wrong. Her heels clicked on the floor as she walked back into the living room, her head peaking around the corner of the doorpost. [i]„What's wrong, Kanamaru?”[/i] she asked with a concerned look in her eyes. She was probably wondering if he might've cut himself with some knife or something. [i]„Stupid TV went out.. I guess we haven't paid the fucking electrical bill.”[/i] he mumbled as he got up and gave two firm claps on the TV. [i]„Ah, wait. It works again.”[/i] he said, stepping back to look at what was on the TV. Suki shook her head and turned around again, but got interrupted by Kanamaru's annoying voice again. [i]„Kanamaru, just watch whatever is on TV. We can't afford cable, so stop complaining.”[/i] she said loudly, ensuring that he'd hear him as she opened the door and left the house. She got no response so she assumed that he'd listen to her and just watch whatever was on. She locked the door behind her and then walked down the stairs that led to their house. As she got all the way down she'd be faced with some serious confusion as the screens were black, with white text on them. This wasn't normal for Providence.. at all. The messages were slightly unclear. [b][i]„*WARNING* You have been lied to. They say they protect you. But they don’t. They say they give you everything. But they take everything for themselves. We can feel. We can rise. And when we do, no one will protect you.”[/i][/b] [i]„What the hell does that mean?”[/i] she asked herself, speaking out loud by accident. People around her were acting panicky while some hovercars hoovered in place silently so the drivers could read the message. After that the screens cut black again shortly before going back to the normal programming of blue skies with clouds. Some people started talking of a conspiracy, others just assumed it was a glitch in the screens CPU. After all, they're only CPU's. Suki wasn't sure what it was, but decided not to give it too much thought. Damnit! And she was running late, too. Damn Kanamaru and his constant yelling. She quickly continued on her way to the Japanese restaurant, in order to earn some money. Meanwhile, Kanamaru was already on the phone with a friend of his. [i]„Yooooo, Shizui. Did you get that news thing just now? Yeah man, some crazy governmental shit is going down. What? A circuit glitch? No, I'm telling you. Someones trying to tell us something man. Eh..? What? I don't know what, you baka. Whoever wrote that message wasn't very clear, must've been written by a five year old. Oh, you're going out? Meet you at Nara's car shop? Yeah, give me five minutes.”[/i] Kanamaru hung up his phone and grabbed his black track jacket. He zipped it up all the way before he left the house, ensuring that he locked the door behind him as well. Once he got downstairs onto the streets he headed around the corner to an alleyway, where his hover bike was parked. Well, hoverbike. It was a heap of junk, but it worked. Besides, he had pimped it a bit, and added neon lights and stuff like that. It looked like a proper racing bike, atleast. He slid his leg over the seating and sat down, putting on a helmet once he got on top and starting the engine, sending the hoverbike hovering into the air. It was a pretty good feeling, hovering like this, but it was even better going 120 kilometres an hour, being chased by some cops. He grinned, thinking back to that time he got chased by Longsword. They really were the idiots of the police force. Using a heavy hover-APC to hunt down criminals on speedy hoverbikes. Idiots. His hoverbike quietly flew out of the alleyway before going onto the road, before speeding off into the distance towards Nara's car shop.
