[Ryu-gemini]

I'm young. What about you? I'm still a kid, and yet an adult. What about you? I am me..and still..not me. Can you say that about yourself. I'm a secret written in a letter. The letter is sealed in a masking envelope. You people around me are free. You're stupid.

Do you know who I am?

I'm Ryu. Local dancer at a nearby club. Fairly popular..Wait wait. Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not a stripper. I just like to dance. The owners of the club noticed me and asked if I'd like to dance in there club. Don't call me names. You don't know me.

I'm living what people call a double life, no body really knows I'm a night dancer, it's my secret. Durning the daylight hours I'm an author I've written many books, they're very deep, two lovers that can never be together, the stories always end in tragedy. I've never written a happy ending.. Am I two faced? No. No I'm not. I'm honest. Soft and gentle, yet sharp and witty. In the same moment I can wear a smile, yet keep a stinging voice. I'm very much a happy person. Or at least thats the attitude i maintain in public. After a gig, I'm out having a good time. People around me get drunk, I don't. I stay away from alcohol. It's what drove my father to suicide and my mother to jail. I'm trying to earn money to pay for my mothers bail and my little sisters medical bill. You see, she's deathly ill. She's my world.

You think you know me now?

So this is me Ryu. I'm walking..no..more than walking down a main street full of part go-ers and drunks. My semi-long brown hair slips out of it's pony-tail. My stride doesn't faulter. I keep going.

I'm wearing a grin on my lips. I headed to my apartment. I get some hello's and good evening's and I reply happily.



----------Earlier this day--------

"Oi, Ryu" The voice of my manager drawled through the dressing room.

"Yes?" I asked, raising my head abrubtly from the table.

"You're on..in like 10 seconds." He said, tapping his watch.

"O-oh. Alright." I said, sitting up and quickly putting in my sky blue contacts over my deep brown eyes. I'd lost track of time..again.

I pushed past Mr.Manager dude and went to behind the stage. I practically mouthed the entire intro the announcer made, I've heard it to many times. I hated my job. I'm no good at anything else though..Well..Thats not true at all..I'm good at many things.
The loud thumping of the music began and I began to count in my head. Counting down to my entrance.

"And now, let's all welcome our dancer, Rouge!" Accouncer dude said, his voice booming.

This is my entrance, so I start, forcebly ripping the curtain away. I don't see anyone, there's to many bright lights around, but I can sure hear them. I have to focus, and soon they're voices melt away and all can hear is the music. Everything is good to go.

Oh.. about that whole, "Rouge" thing. Listen, i can't be a good and friendly author with people knowing that I'm a dancer too. I do have a reputation to worry about. Rouge is my other name, the name I use when I'm being careless. Some people don't know my real name, Ryu. Ryu the author..

My routine ends, and suddenly the voices reach my ears again, the people sound more than happy. I've done my job well I suppose. Todays shift is over. It's time to go home.

I leave the club with my stuff. And started home. On my way something caught my eye.. There was a new fountain that had been being built, by the looks of it they've completed it. I wondered over and looked into the pool of water. I didn't see my relfection. I frowned, not surprized at all. I took out my notes and wrote this as 'Glitch sighting number 26'

Confused? Lets re-weind and review. I'm Ryu. Author I'm also Rouge. popular dancer. I'm leading a double life. Or maybe triple? See this part I haven't told you. I'm a strong believer in the theory that this city that we all live in..Well..it isn't real. I think it's some sorta program. We, the people might be real, some might not. But this whole...city place isn't. My companions and I all agree. We're all working on proving it. They all have a 'glitch' notebook aswell and with there help, I'll prove everything in no-time.

I looked back to the water and found my reflection..sorta..It was fuzzy and barely there..seems that someone is already working on the glitch.

I turned on my heel and went off to go home finally. I wandered through masses of people, and struggled to get by. People didn't seem to understand manners. People were pushing and shoving like they were the only people that needed to be somewhere. I growled and trudged on.

I burst through what seemed the be a wall of people and made a dramatic gasp for breath. I stumbled forwards, having lost my balance and ran into someone.

"Oh! Excuse me." I said, lookign up at the man. He was tall and dressed in a tan business suit under a long jacket, he also wore a hat, I couldn't see his face.

"S'alright." He man said gruffly, moving past me. I turned to watch him go away, and some sorta paper came flying out of his jacket. The paper, or rather, stapled together mass of papers flew at me and smaked me in the face.

I gasped in surprise and tore them off my face. I looked down at them with annoyance and read the title. 'Project 'Meyacell' plan orders' I read the title again, the read the smaller text below the title, 'Main Computer: Room 14' Hmm..That seemed to be some sorta adress.

I stared at the paper for a moment, then suddenly a light bulb went off. 'Project Meyacell'...Meyacell is the name of this city...and 'Main computer'...that had to be whats controlling this city! I looked up and hid the papers in my bag. Then quickly I ran to my apartment.

---Back to this time of day ~Late night~ ---

I shut the door behind me and locked it. I had made it t my apartment..good good.

I set down my bag and sighed. I'd have to deal with the papers in the morning. Right now, I need my laptop, my bean bag chair, and a some nice steamy hot chocolate.

I aquired all these things and plopped in the bean bag chair, with a small pleased sigh, it was time to unwind and right. I took out my contacts and put them away, then opened my laptop. I was just about to begin writing when all of a sudden..

Ring Ring

I groaned and smaked my forehead. Not now...

Ring ring

Stupid Telephone...

Ring Ri-

"Hello?" I asked the phone.

"RYU. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOUR MANUSCRIPT IS DUE TOMORROW!! TOMORROW!!!" My editor screamed into my ear.

I groaned, "Yeah yeah..I just got like..one more chapter.."

"Good. Be sure to spell check it. You wouldn't believe how many typos you make in one page." she said with a chuckle, obviously glad to hear I did putt everything off until the last day.

"Yeah yeah. Now, I gotta finish." I said and hung up.

I sighed and pulled out my notebook and scribbled 'Glitch Number 27' My editor isn't a girl.

((Okay. :| Welp. Just 'cause I know that people skipped a ton of this. Put simply. The city, Meyacell, is nothing more than data. And we, the people of this Rp are either real, or data aswell. Your choice. Please remember that my character does have two names, her companions know her with only one, Ryu, they don't know her Rouge life style yet. Unless you want to know her like that..I dunno...how you..would but, whatever is fine with me. Just go nuts and have fun..?))
