Project Eden -> Need Writers!!!

* - OPEN! - *

Yes, we are finally opening! *cuts ribbon ad throws confetti into the air*

Please take the time to read everything on the first page, and PM me if you have comments or ideas. If you would like to start writing, you can now reserve your post, providing someone hasn't done so before. If someone has already reserved a post, please wait until he/she is over before posting something. Now, before we really start, I just want to make a little summary to explain what each character is doing and how things are planned...

When the story starts, we are at the beginning of August on the human calendar, and the trees and flowers of Eden are in full bloom. Marilyn is going to work for her first day working for the G.C. It's also the first time she will be allowed on the top floor of Eden. She has a meeting planned with the other secretaries, some other employees and a Naga specialized in political relationships, which is supposed to coach them for their future jobs. Golza is the said Naga, and she is on her way too. Harth is in summer break, and since he had nothing to do, his sister thought it could be a good idea to bring him with her, showing him what he could do in the future and all. Harth is not especially trilled with that, but he follows his sister anyway, thinking it could be fun. Carson and Julius have just met for the first time in 9 years, in a shady bar of the last floor of the fourth tower where hunters usually gathered. They are kind of happy to see each other, but at the same time, there's a sort of cold in between them. The two are supposed to go on the top floor later on, as it seems like the station's authorities have something special to ask them.

That's all I needed to say. You can now start writing the rest of the story. I hope it will be fun and make a great work in the end!

Marilyn woke up in her small apartment to the sound of her alarm. It was still dark outside, the artificial sun having not yet woke up. Lazily, she stretched under her blanket before turning her head towards the small alarm clock on her side table. 6:30, she read, part of her just wanting to go back to sleep. With a sigh, she pushed her warm blanket and got up, giving a good slap on her alarm to turn it off. She took the time to make her bed, before heading for her closet and grabbing her work clothes. She smiled at the sight of the Galaxian Council's logo on her shirt. She was a bit nervous for her first day of work, of course, but it was also a pleasant sensation. The kind of feeling that says "You're doing something important now." Soon, the blonde let go a yawn and headed for the bathroom. She would have time to think later, but now she needed to get ready.
After a quick shower and the usual preparations, Marilyn exited her apartment, her bag with her computer on her shoulder. She walked down the streets leading to the center of the tower. Even if she had woken up as soon as she could, walked as quick as possible and forgotten to eat, there was already a large crowd waiting in front of the elevator. The woman sighed once more and took her place in the line. She didn't have much choice anyway. She took a small notebook out of her bag and started to write out the few questions that came to her mind, as well as various aspects of her future job she was curious about. She quickly got absorbed by this little task, and soon she lost track of what was going on around her.

One floor above, two nagas were busy arguing with each other. The older one, an adult female, was dragging a younger male out of his bed. "C'mon Harth! You need to do something!" the woman said, letting go of the leg she was pulling. "Nah... more... sleep..." the male said before falling off his bed. He slowly got up, massaging his knees that had taken most of the shock. "Whatdyawan?" he sleepily mumbled to the woman who was standing in his bedroom door, looking at him with a stranger grin on her face. "I need to go to work today," she said gently. "And I thought you would like to come with me." She walked out of the room, knowing she didn't need to say more. The young man mumbled something and sat on his bed, shaking his thoughts awake and putting a large t-shirt on before heading for his closet.
A couple of minutes later, Harth exited his bedroom, fresh clothes on and his hair combed in perfect spikes. "'morning sister," he said with a low voice as he passed in front of the older naga. "Good morning brother," she answered without looking at him, busy reading the newspapers. The young man grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat on a stool in front of his sister to eat. "So, what are you doing today?" he managed to say between two spoonfuls. "I need to meet with some of the new employees of the council this morning, and maybe in the afternoon too, depending of how it's going," the woman answered. The male nodded while he finished swallowing his food, before adding: "And when are we leaving?" "In half-an-hour or so," the woman answered, most of her attention still directed towards the digital newspaper in front of her, though a faint smile appeared on her lips when the other said "we".
