Nobody here but us chickens.

Ohey, Kyle. Great to see you writing again!
Beautiful prologue. I can't wait to see what the rest will be like.

Readan'. Seems familiar of a theme. Can't quite recall from where though.

Empty space.

Vincent is living the dream. Damn you Kyle. Thanks for making my life feel even more meaningless.
Go go, Harlow.

Tough first choice, I want to know all of their back stories!
A Certain Shade of Melancholy - Throes - 2010-02-02
Gonna go with Harlow, if only because I'm curious how the seemingly out of place first paragraph ties in to the rest of the story. Is it a nightmare or hallucination? Does it take place in the past/future?

Before reading this, I want to make clear I find this setting really cool. Like... A mixture between the movies Wall-e, Minority Report and Max Payne (thinking about the drug usage and whatnot).

This excites me the theme is beautiful. Its quasi sci-fi but it has a moral message underneath, and I already get that. Cant wait for more, Felix.

Space that is now empty.

Harlow needs to be introduced. Like Dyxanije said, back stories are always nice to know.
On a side note, futuristic stories often fascinate me. Very good wording with the dialogue and the description of humanity!

The setting made me think about The Fifth Element for some reason.
Umm... I guess I'll pick

[X] Thompson
Just to pick on those who chose Harlow, I don't see why he should be introduced next. In my opinion, it's too early to be jumping back and focusing on a character that we caught a glimpse of so early on.
To defend my stance, then, I think that Thompson should be the next character to receive a cameo because his story seems so much different than those that have already appeared. That and his story seems much darker: a good contrast to what we've seen so far.
Extraordinary writing, man.

She seems like the person who could further enlighten me most on the details of this furturistic setting.
Good to see you writing again, Felix.
A Certain Shade of Melancholy - FelixTM - 2010-02-04
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
A Certain Shade of Melancholy - JoeTang - 2010-02-04
Adelaide. I want to see how you handle this.
I keep thinking Harlow needs a Fight Club now.
A Certain Shade of Melancholy - SwordTM - 2010-02-04
[X] Mikayla
Seeing as how Harlow's introduction dealt more with the concept of drugs than expected, I will choose Mikayla to be previewed next. Thompson's "theme" seems a little too close to the one in Chapter 2 for him to appear now.
Android Affairs...hm...

I want to learn more about the androids.

I can already picture her looking glum at her job and then coming home and wondering how long she can continue to deal with all her problems.

I was home on the computer all day and can't believe it took me this long to realize you updated. ;__;
