Ruin: Shattered Memory

[TheEnd]

A voice echoes in the most remote regions of your mind. It is bodiless, sourceless. Yet, you feel as if you know this voice.

Wake up... wake up...

You open your eyes. You notice that you are nude, stripped of all clothing. All around you is white. Dotting this white chamber are people of similar age to you. Men and women who are lost like you. You know not their names, nor your own. The voice continues.

Three months...

You question the voice. Why is it speaking to you? Where are you? Who are you? Where is this voice coming from? Then, you notice something. An item- a book, a harp, a necklace- an item to which you feel strangely connected. It feels special.

Such is the key to the door...

Suddenly, a tall, black, oak door appears in the middle of the room. Strangely, it is not embedded in any wall, just standing in the middle of the room. All of the men and women in the room look to it.

Walk through the door... claim your destiny...

You approach the door, tentatively. Your hand rests comfortably on the cold brass knob. In your other hand, rests your special item. The door creaks open, and a bright light blinds you. You find yourself on a busy city street. An automobile screeches to a halt right before you! There is so much noise, so much bustling. Citizens line the streets, stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of several naked individuals, wielding nothing but their special items. Once more, the voice echoes deep in your thoughts.

Argon.... the city of light...

RUIN: SHATTERED MEMORY

“Please! Help me! I don’t know how I got here, or who I am. O-or who THEY are. I- please... help me.”

A young man pleaded with the driver of the automobile. The driver was a man of obvious affluence. He wore a neatly pressed black suit with a white shirt, red tie, and black bowler hat. What really indicated his wealth however, was the automobile itself. Sleek red leather lined the interior of the beautiful white car. The rich man in the car scoffed and drove off. The young man panicked. All he had with him was a brass pocket watch. He ran and ran and ran in this mysterious city of Argon. He silently wondered what the others were doing, where they had gone. He finally stopped running two days later when he was taken in to a homeless shelter and clothed. Were the others so lucky?

Wake up... wake up... It's a voice. A white room, naked people.

Three months... The same voice. Questions, an object, a whip?

Such is the key to the door...Again with the voice. A tree, a door.

Walk through the door... claim your destiny... Helpful voice? A bright light..

Argon.... the city of light... Last time. Clothed people, stares, cars, exposed..

----------------------------

There was a guy screeching for help. “Please! Help me! I don’t know how I got here, or who I am. O-or who THEY are. I- please... help me.” Seemed said guy was just as lost as this guy and the guy next to him. Why were they so lost? What had happened? Did they know each other? He looked around and saw there were some girls along with the guys, nude as well. Not meaning to stare he looked over to find a car honking at him madly to move out of the way. "Yeah, yeah, I'm going." The situation didn't seem like a calm worthy thing, but he didn't feel like freaking out instead he felt.. tired. Like he had done so much already and just wanted a place to lay low for a while and re-coop. Walking onto the side walk a lot of people avoided him, being naked and all, but he didn't hesitate when he saw a couple of fine looking dames. "'Scuse me ladies. I know this seems rather strange and believe me I feel rather exposed, but could you help me get back up on my feet?" He tried for a blush but he wasn't embarrassed in the least, he was a fine looking guy from what he could tell, "I can't seem to remember anything.. I don't even know my own name." He looked at the ground to seem ashamed, "I understand if you don't want to, I wouldn't want to if I were you either." Without looking back up at the duo he turned and began walking away when they called out for him, "Wait!"

Wow, he was a damn good actor. Apparently there were things about himself that were gunna come in handy. Being without a memory sucked and all but hey, maybe this new him would be better then the old one.. if he knew who the old him was.
