GEMINI

This story is about a bartender who serves people, be it strange or normal... he's seen it all. But one day, he served a particular customer and that's where this all starts, a tale where both technology advances human nature, and where Light and Dark conflict.

GEMINI -Prologue-

May 15th 2170

10:15 pm

The city of Los Angeles is always so packed with people... you'll never get tired of a place like this, you see something new everyday. Be it something cool or something down right weird. But unfortunately as of right now I'm at this bar called "Violet Sanctuary", working, so I won't be seeing those kind of things at the moment. But, there's also sketchy shit going on here in this city as well. I just kno-

???: Hey... you done having your inner monolog Cole?

...

Cole: I wasn't having one.

???: That's a down right lie. You looked like you were really in your head, you can deny it all you want but I know for certain-

Cole: I'm on my break right now... and so are you. Are you going to use your time to just bother me?

???: That's right! That's what friends are for right?

Cole looks at his self-proclaimed "Friend" then let's off a sigh and slumps down on the chair he is currently sitting on.

Cole: Yeah, yeah... we're the best of friends, Both Cole and Alexander to make the wonder team...

Alexander: You're god damn right... don't you forget that.

The two laugh softly in the break room they're in. Time soon passes along and their breaks are over.

Cole: Aw shit... it's about that time... Hookayy...

Alexander: Already been 15 minutes?

Cole: Yup. But it's fine, closing time is almost here, just another half hour then we're good to go.

Alexander: Nice... say, once we get back home let's play some online games?

Cole: I'm not sure, I am pretty damn tired... honestly I can't wait to just melt on my bed and sleep.

Alexander: ....Chump.

Cole: Whatever dickface... let's get back to work.

Alexander: Uh-Huh, let's do that.

Both Cole and Alexander leave the break room and go back to their roles. Cole, being the one who mixes drinks and serves them to customers and Alexander, the one who assists Cole in serving drinks and a woman who is taking and serving the customer's their food orders. The thirty minutes pass by and soon enough it's closing time.

Cole: Ahhhhh...~ Damn, finally... we can go home.

Alexander: Not yet buddy... we gotta clean up first.

Cole: I know, I know... let's get it done.

Alexander: Yup...

Alexander looks around as if he was looking for someone, but who?

Alexander: Hm... hey, you've seen Aub?

Cole: Aubrey?

Aubrey: I'm here... I just clocked out.

Both Cole and Alexander look at the woman that talked, she's leaning on the bar table.

Alexander: Ah! There you are, could you help us clean? So we can all go home early.

Aubrey: Mhm, you got it, I'll sweep up.

Cole: I'll clean the bar table.

Alexander: I'll clean the tables then and take out trash, say Cole... have you decided?

Cole: Decide what...?

Alexander: Y'know... get with that girl you were talking to? You guys were talking for a while now right?

Cole: A-Ah... yeah, about that...

Alexander: Huhh...?

Cole: Yeah, nah... she confessed and well... I turned her down, it's fine though.

Alexander: Is it really? Didn't you like her?

Cole: I mean, yeah... but the I realized what type of person she is, possessive... really possessive. To the point it seemed like she was obsessed with me... it scared me if I'm going to be honest.

Aubrey: Geez... I guess you dodged a bullet there. if you don't mind, tell us the moments where it really shined on you

Cole: Well... let's see...

The group talk while they clean up the bar and dining area. Cole listing various moments to both Alexander and Aubrey.

Aubrey: Jesus fucking christ...

Cole: I know right...? I didn't even ask her to tattoo my name onto her OR demanded videos of her masturbating... but if anything, creepiest thing she done was have a whole journal dedicated to me, like I was Jesus and that was the Bible.

Alexander: Crazy.... but we got done cleaning... let's wrap this up, you clocked out right Cole?

Cole: Yeah, I clocked out before we done this.

Alexander: Okay cool... let's head out now.

Cole: Yup... Hey, manager, the three of us are going to head out now.

A mature looking woman is standing at the bar table and is looking at the group of three, she gives the nod of approval and the three exit the bar.

Cole: Geez today was long... okay, I'll catch you guys tomorrow.

Alexander: Yup! Same here, I'm tired as all hell right now...

Aubrey: I'm tired also... a whole lot of talking and walking... got a few tips though.

Cole: Ha... yeah...

The three walk off in their own individual ways, Cole gets in his car and slumps down, clearly exhausted he let's off a sigh of relief that today is over. The one thing he can think of right now is his bed and how soft the seat is right now.
