Utopia Unhinged - Interactive

Dennis sat in the garden of his office on a warm Summer afternoon. He took a sip of his Iced Tea and sighed. He was inredibly lonely.
Dennis Fireheart was 41, and single. He knew everybody in town, but he didn't really have any friend to chill with. It was disconcerting.

Dennis, who had finally had enough of his own misery, stood up and entered his office, locking the door behind him. Swiftly grabbing his coat and keys, he locked up the office and briskly walked down Main Street.
He didnt need his coat, it was a particularly warm afternoon, however, he rarely left home without it. It was hanging over his shoulder.

Before he knew it, Dennis was standing at the beach front. He saw people sitting on the sand, sitting on their beach towels, enjoying one-anothers company.

"WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A scream tore through the air, like a child tearing paper from his Christmas Gifts.
Dennis looked toward the sound, gasping.
"That's coming from the bank!"
Dennis ran as fast as he could to the Moonberry bank, and burst through the door.
"GIGI?!" Dennis shouted.
He saw the blonde haired woman standing atop a chair.
"Uhm, hello Mayor." She sounded quite shaken. "I think I saw a mouse!"
Dennis looked around, he couldn't see any such thing.
"Gigi, get down from the chair." He said, a little annoyed.
"But what if it comes back?" She asked.
"It won't." He said defiantly. He held out a hand to help her off the chair. "If it worries you so much, leave the Bank for a moment."
Gigi took the Mayors hand and smiled. She got off the chair and thought about his offer...

((Can I work off of the horrible state of my new restaurant? xD))
Kio stared at the practically destroyed building that would one day become his restaurant. He went inside, noticing what was obviously once the nest of some animal. He began surveying the kind of repairs he would need to make.

((Yeah, sure Kio. That's kinda the idea. SHow some sort of crazy mishap.))

Tobias walked slowly along the Main Street, hands in his pockets. The lint was tickling his fingers a little. He saw the old field that had provided much entertainment for him and alot of other kids over time. He smiled and couched, and passed through the middle of the old fence, paint peeling off the hardwood. He looked around before walking up to the tree.
Without really thinking he put his arms around the tree, and grinned. He took in a breath, as if trying to smell the odourless tree. It was like memories had wafted in his nasal passage as opposed to a scent. He smiled, and opened his eyes, stepping back from the tree. He spotted the tire swing tied onto the branch.
He smiled mischieviously and sat on the swing, rocking gently back and forth.
All of a sudden Tobias heard a creaking sound.
"What was that?" He said aloud to himself. The creaking instantly harshened to cracking, and he knew what would happen. He jumped out of the way of the falling branch just in time.
"Wow, that was close." He rubbed his left knee, which he had landed on hard.
Picking up the branch, Tobias inspected it. He naturally assumed that it was his weight that caused the break in the branch. But to his surprise it was rotted. A baby could have made it collapse.

Mina looked around her little shop once again, there were still numerous boxes. "Ugh...I'm never going to get this shop open!" She crossed her arms, and closed her eyes as she let her head tilt to the side. "I guess I'm just going to have to try harder!"
The teal-haired girl bent over to pick up a box, and tried her hardest to pick it up. She took a few steps towards the door when she noticed something tickling her hand. She looked over on the side of the box, and there it was; a giant, furry spider, staring at her with it's many little eyes. Mina, in return, stared at the arachnid.
"Oh, hello there!" She smiled, and sat down the box with the spider on it. The spider crawled onto her hand, as Mina watched it's every movement. "Aren't you a handsome spider?" She blinked a few times, as the stinging sensation struck.
"Sweet Kalista!" Mina moved her hand quickly and sent the spider flying at the wall. A small bite started to swell on her hand. "...Ugh." She sat down on the box she dropped and placed her face in her hands. She didn't notice the beetle crawling over her shoe.
"Bug problems."

"Your medication Miss" Namine the Nakamura's family said. Every morning Yukari endured heaps of rainbow colored pills; her condition doesn't seem to become any better, she knew this, and have said repeatedly in her mind "i'm happy for just another day"

The days Yukari spent in Silver Lune, brought her new friends, moreover the reason to keep on living. Before, she never holds any of these precious memories; everyday at the hospital she would hear her mother weepings and pity for her weak child, she would said "It's my fault! I'm very sorry Yukari" accompanied with tears, and her father is no less as he rarely comes and visit because of his work.

Another joyful event, Yukari have with her is the opening of her own bar, the "Sweet Paradise Bar"! From now on, Yukari will live on to protect her precious belongings.


{I think Yukari needs operation/surgery, or not she's going to die... crying }

Kayoni looked around her small, cramped house. It was totally messy with bags and boxes everywhere. "I have to start putting stuff in it's place," she said aloud. She moved with small steps across to the kitchen and peered out the window. Well, what was left of the window. Kayoni saw the window had been broken. By what? She wasn't sure. How am I going to get this cleaned up? she wondered to herself. It's been 3 monthes and I haven't done anything! She deeply sighed and looked at her journal. "At least I have this," she said to herself. Kayoni took her bag and journal upstairs leaving the house in a complete mess.

"................." Misaki, standing from behind the counter of her cafe, stared at the front door. "..........................nobody." She seemed to tremble for a bit. "Nobody." Suddenly she felt like flipping over a table. "Nobody's coming to my cafeeeeeee~!" You could hear crickets chirping if you listened hard enough. She let her head fall onto the counter. "After all that cleaning up.....and for what! KOOONNNNNNN!"

Kio yawned as he watched the large bonfire continue to eat away at the wood. He smiled as he realized how close he was getting to having his own restaurant. Slowly standing up, he grabbed a hand full of sand and threw it into the fire. He walked back into the building that was beginning to take shape and took into account the rest of the work he would need to do.
