《Signed /Dream Team/》Introduction
Advertisement
"Last day of living with parents, are you excited?" Nick's voice chimes through the group call, yet there is little or no reaction whatsoever.
Until George decides to react out of discomfort radiating from the inaccuracy of his friend's words.
"Actually, I have been living with my creepy uncle since I moved to America," he corrects, "and I don't see him as a parent. As much as he aspires to be my daddy."
They both laugh at the disturbing joke until the laughter's cut short by their other friend's - Clay's - remark.
"I used to live with my girlfriend."
Knowing what's about to come, Nick and George are tempted to end the call. But before they can do so, the sniffling echoes through the line.
Great, now they have to comfort him.
"Were you really ready to commit to someone named Georgina?" George cringes just from the mention of her name. Not only because it's almost identical to his name, but also because he thinks of her as a horrible person. And he doesn't want to share a name with a horrible person.
"Wait, did you like.. moan George's name while you were at it?" It finally hits Nick like a wave of ice-cold water.
Clay is pissed, he always is when this topic comes up. He's mad, and he's in his own bubble of emotions enough to not bother to even remind them once again that nobody ever called her Georgina. She went by Gina. And the red button that ends the call seems oh so tempting at that moment.
"Did he leave the call?" George double-checks, answering his own question when he sees that only he and Nick are on the line.
That made him quite upset. George wasn't the type to show too much emotion or even feel a lot of it to some extent. But denying the prominent guilt and sorrow he felt at that moment would be the equivalent of ignoring the elephant in the room (which is totally his ego).

"Living with him's gonna be a pain in the ass," Nick speaks once again, annoyance taking over his voice.
"We'll give him the big bed and take the other room together," remembering that there were two rooms (one of them had a king-sized bed, while the other had a bunk bed) George decides that it's better to take a step back this time for their own sanity, "don't really wanna wake up from sniffling sounds every night."
The line is silent for a while. There's a second throughout which George thinks he crossed the line, contemplating whether or not the remark was too senseless and harsh. But Nick's response comes quicker than the progression of the said thought.
"But I wanted the big bed.."
Yeah, well... it's no surprise that Clay's only friends and soon-to-be roommates are no good in terms of helping him overcome the difficulty that occurred so suddenly that it pretty much tore his life apart. If anything, they're close to being the opposite. They even laughed to tears when finding out the reason for the breakup.
After arguing over the rooms for a bit longer George finally changes the topic. More accurately - he avoids it.
"Okay, I gotta go pretend that I'm asleep, my uncle's coming home."
And just like that, he hangs up. Without further explanations. Without even saying goodbye.
It's a perfect opportunity for all of them to pack the very last bits of things they need before the drastic change in their lives.
George sprays a bit of his overly expensive cologne onto his neck (which he barely could afford) before putting it in one of the many packed bags. And the spraying sound reminds him that he forgot to pack his luxurious hairspray, which he goes to find immediately.

Nick spills apple juice all over the important papers his friends trusted him enough to fill out and sign all by himself recently. And that's the perfect reminder for him to pack all of the said important papers which have horrible stains on them now.
And lastly, Clay shoves a handful of gummy bears in his mouth and regrets it immediately as the toothache kicks in. That reminds him to pack his special toothpaste that helps with the sensitivity.
The next time they talk is hours before moving to their new place - a questionably low-priced house they rented for a year somewhere in Minnesota.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
