How’s your head feel? Remember what happened last night? Remember who you are? Yes? That’s somewhere to start. That horrid taste in your mouth, that’s AV. You’re not expected to know what that is, that’s how they get you. You don’t know it’s out there until it’s too late. You’re still stuck on that one question aren’t you? What’s AV?” It’s an elixir of life, water from the fountain of youth, a drug. That feeling, that’s the withdraws. You’re not the only person waking up like this today, not by a long shot. AV has become a bit of a problem in the cities; the Deelers have made sure of that. Not that it was a hard job, AV is highly addictive, and the withdraws are horrible, and guess what, you’ve probably just got the last bit in the city. Don’t worry, if you survive the month of withdraws there are some interesting side effects. The side effects, well, immortality to start, but that’s not even the best part. The best part is the power. Yes, the power. To each their own, AV has an odd side effect of giving a person a power all their own. What’s yours? There’s a question that I can’t answer, you’ll just have to figure that out as you go.
Are you still with me? Good. You’re a freak. Got it? Welcome to the circus. The entire world is crap, that hasn’t changed. It’s the same world you knew; you’re just seeing it through clear eyes now. All those faces that looked a little too familiar to someone you saw a picture of in history, yea, their Immortals too. No, they’re not all on your side either. Most of them are probably members of the Deeler gang. That question you just asked, Why are they still around when AV’s gone?, let me answer that. They rule the cities. These safe little havens of freaks and misfits, all thanks to the Deelers tyrannical rule. Of course there are perks to being in that lot. Go right ahead. Or maybe you don’t like them. Maybe you don’t like the corrupt, immortal world you know. Then you should look in to meeting up with the Plight. They’re fighting to get the world back to what it was. With bullets made of a strange metal that neutralizes the effects of AV, meaning that if your hit with one, you’re powerless until you get that metal out. Good luck.
Did I lose you? Oh wait, are you stuck on that nagging question? Who am I, where am I, what the hell is AV?” Maybe I should have made sure you knew before I ranted. Did you die? Do you remember that awful dream you had last night? Do you remember the Shigami? If so then ignore what I just said before, you’re not an immortal, not from a drug anyway. AV is the reason you’re here though. You’re what has come to be correctly called a Reaper. Those powers you have now, a gift. No, more like a tool. Those visions your having won't be going away anytime soon. Not until the shigami is fully repaid and you've done your job. You work for the Shigami now. Retrieving the souls that immortality has denied him. Why? Well, it’s better than being dead. Second chances aren’t free.
What’s that? You want to get on with your life? Well, you don’t have to join a gang you know… Just go on with your life pretending that you don’t know that the cities are falling apart. If you’re immortal, go back to your job and ignore that you’re alone in the fight against the reapers who are after you’re life.
After all, it’s your life…
