You, if you don't mind, lol

A heavy sigh left Matt's mouth as he stood in front of the large, pale glass building, shielding his eyes from the bright white lights behind it. As his eyes flitted from the doors to the top of the building, his breath felt shallow, almost like locking his gaze with the top of the 15-floor building was restricting all effort he had left to breathe. He winced as he inhaled, bringing his eyes back down to the blue, lit up title of the glass building that simply read "Memories."

He was stuck in a dream. A dream so agonizing that it could turn into a nightmare at any second. It wasn't anything normal however, it wasn't something you just told your friends about the next day, because once you were here, you couldnt go back. It was like going from one life, your real ife, straight to a new, strange one. And you couldnt remember a thing from the past. He watched as a couple new arrivals darted to and fro in the memories building, swinging open the door violently, frowning at everyone who just looked so..happy. Probably because they ahd no clue they were stuck in the future. Because they had no clue they had left everyone behind in the past. People ended up in the world they had often dreamt of as a person, and so to them..this was heaven. But to Matt, it was far from it. The ground could drop open into a pit of fire and he wouldnt notice. He gave another, louder sigh and headed to the arrivals lobby, ready to spend the day standing there taking the piss out of happier people by means of getting his own back.

hope this is okay, mind went so blank halfway through)

It's perfect! I'm gon a try and make a halfway decent response, lol))

Trixie was... well, she didn't know where she was. She couldn't really see at the moment- it was all... light. Pure, soft light. When she thought back, she couldn't.. remember anything. She knew there were memories there- simply because of the vast feeling of emptiness. Absence. Of loved ones, laughter, happiness. Devoid of emotion to leave her mind a solemn, blank slate. It made her want to weep, want to fight. But how could she, when all she could do was stare, unblinking into the light. She couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. She couldn't even tell if she was alive or just- an awareness. But slowly, she began to regain feeling. Familiarity. Legs, arms. Nerves. Hearing, smell. And slowly, her vision focused to show the soft white light she had been staring at was simply a fixture. She blinked, swallowed. Confused, curious, wary. She looked around to find herself in a warm, neutral toned room, and wearing something reminiscent of a hospital gown. She didn't know how she knew what that was, but she did. She slipped out of the bed onto strong legs that landed softly on the tile floor. She walked slowly into the hallway, spinning around as people bustled past her. One of them gently pushed her back into her room and followed her in- and older, kinder looking woman. Trixie watched her in bewilderment as she began to explain her... predicament.

~ Trixie learning what the hell this world is ~

Hours after that, she was given clothes and essentially released into the world. She stumbled into the lobby of the building in ripped blue jeans, three inch platform heels, and a tight-ish silky green top. She blinked in confusion and tried to pull herself together. She knew she was supposed to be... happy. Right? Because that's what this world was. Heaven. Perfection.

I like it dw about it lol))

Matt leaned back against the glass wall, giving an elderly worker a dirty, almost irritated look as they shuffled past, letting his expression break into a slight smile as yet another arrival walked out from the bright light "hospital room", into the rather large lobby. He watched as she peered round in confusion, his gaze broken as a skinny blonde girl ran up to him, shrieking slightly as his presence. As soon as she reached him, she pretty much jumped into his arms, only for Matt to shove her back down..after a couple words were exchanged of course. It was Ava, a girl he had met on his first day. Her dream seemed to be to become a supermodel because well..she was. It was strange how fame worked the same way it did in the real word. Matt have a sigh as Ava chatted excitedly about some party or another, taking about 5 minutes before she finally let him get some words in. "I'll slip by later, okay? Seems like you need to go now" Was all he managed to say, the deep Italian accent seeping through as his sentence went on. Matt's eyes flitted from Ava as she wandered away to her security, to the girl he had been watching earlier. He made no effort to take his eyes away from her as she walked, a playful smile on his lips, his arms crossed. She was pretty. He liked that. Faking being nice to get any further couldnt hurt in this world..right?

He pushed himself upright from the glass, walking over confidently, gritting his teeth slightly as a couple people acknowledged him, before reaching the girl. "Alright?" He asked, the playful smile still dancing on his lips, though he broke it so not as to come off a bit creepy.

Trixie got sidetracked by speaking to a few of the nicer people, mainly a group of women who seemed to think the world revolved around them, but were sweet nonetheless. She was vaguely aware of some sort of girly shrieking- it reminded her of some sort of middle school girl. Eventually, she broke away from the people she was taking to and set off lightly across the lobby. Not in a hurry- but not dawdling either. In all honesty, she didn't even know where to go or what to do. She blinked up at the man who approached her- even three inches taller than normal, he towered over her. She offered him a small smile, her eyes brightening slightly with it. "Honestly, no. Am I supposed to be?" She asked lightly- her tone kept the words from being standoffish.

Matt raised his eyebrows at the girl's demeanour, looking her up and down so much you could have sworn he would end up on a sex offenders database. It was just confidence. He gave a small shrug, a smile breaking back onto his lips at a thought. Why not tease her...lie to her. "Why wouldn't you be? This place is great" He started off, gesturing towards te large open doors, leading out to a very large green area, with a fountain stood in the middle. "You look lost, though I can't understand why. Everyone's been here before." He spoke, doing his best not to laugh. Gaslighting was most definitely his dtrong point, if he was in the right mood. Pls, it was only half a lie. This was the place she would have daydreamt about, she just had to find the right section. He let his eyes tear away from her as he looked in the direction he pointed in, raking a hand through his hair. "You dont look very confident, need someone to show you around?" He asked teasingly, his words coming off..slightly rude.

Trixie stood her ground as she got surveyed, laying a hand on her hip as she looked up at him and almost waited for him to complete his examination. She raised an eyebrow and looked out the front doors. "Yes, well, I wouldn't know. Haven't done anything except be told I'm in some sort of amazing world and that it doesn't matter that I can't remember anything, even if I feel like a part of myself got ripped away." She said darkly, the man's almost rude tone annoying her quickly. She narrowed her eyes at him and toed the line of not liking him and walking away- but seeing as it was her first one-on-one conversation, she figured she would try to deal with him. "Well, maybe try a little harder and you'll figure it out. Plus, I wouldn't know if I've been here before because guess what- all I know is my name and that this is my life now." She said flatly. She could almost hate him until he raked a hand through his hair- god, did that make him look good. Tall, dark, and handsome. Something told her he was just her type, and it was her turn to examine him, though more subtly so. ...and then he opened his mouth again, and she went right back to disliking him. She rolled her eyes and started walking right on out the door, calling a response to him over her shoulder. "I'm as confident as I need to be. I can show myself around, but if you're offering to come along..." Her tone was halfway between teasing and playful, and she lightly walked out the door into the bright, golden sunlight flooding the area outside.

"Im not sure there's any need to be that dramatic, you're just..in a different place. Just treat it like you moved country and you'll love." He laughed, watching her get slightly more aggressive as she spoke. God he likes that. He blew heavy air out his lips, sticking a hand in his pocket and the other tracing the patterns on the wall, his eyes firmly on the girl. As she pretty much snapped back at his words, the smile on his face only got bigger, and he let himself lean against the wall again, giving a slight frown at their conversation being broken up by the elderly cleaners. "Stupid" he mumbled as she passed slowly, before looking back at the girl. "Anyway...no need to speak to me like that love, i know you're a little nervous, but i'm not sure that's the way to go" His tone was jarring, enough to make any girl run away. But his gaze was different. He was captivated by her, she was so..pretty. He started heading toward the open doors, shielding himself slightly from the rays of sunlight. "oh i wasn't offering to show you around anyway. was thinking i could send one of the models with you. they seem just as snappy as you today" he laughed, gesturing toward the large group of blonde and brunette girls, who all looked as if they could murder someone on the spot. "anyway, ill see you later. Oh, i'm Matt by the way" he added, turning the opposite direction, back to the row of houses.

"I'll try to keep that in mind." Trixie said sarcastically, absentmindedly running her tongue over her lips and watching him intently. As his tone suddenly changed when he addressed the elderly lady, the rush of attraction toward him died down signifigantly. So, he was an asshole, but a hot one? Just her luck. She changed almost as fast as he did, crossing her arms over her chest and giving him a cold look. "Alright then sweetheart, I won't if you don't say stupid shit. And I'm not your 'love', alright?" She said flatly, holding his gaze and glaring into his mesmerized stare. She rolled her eyes as he started to walk away, nodding. "Right, because you're such a gentleman." She said sarcastically, ignoring his last remark and walking the opposite way simply because she didn't want to be anywhere near someone who made her feel so conflicted.

Matt could only let out a laugh as she spoke, looking back at her as she walked away. "Got it. Love." He teased, disappearing round the corner briefly after. In his eyes, that girl was lucky. All she had to do now was...find her way round. Find what she had been daydreaming about. Him on the other hand, he had to work. Whilst this world itself was eeryone elses perception of heaven, the punishments for whatever you do wrong were..get a job. Paying for stuff was a choice, it was a dream. But committing a crime resulted in having to work a job for a certain amount of weeks. He sighed as he stared at the red brick building before pushing open the doors, his eyes darting round the buslting atmosphere. It was really just his luck to be put working in a literal pub, filled with bald pot-bellied drunk men, couples that thought they were better than everyone else, and of course the stupid little families with their stupid little children. The only people he thought were any better were the various girls thatflirted with him whilst he was pulling pints. Something to entertain him, really. He watched as a rather rich couple passed, giving a sigh before heading into the staffroom. Like he had thought about earlier, aying for thngs was an option. But, if you somehow made money, you had a better reputation. Therefore you had better bonds, only meaning there was a much higher chance of staying in the dream. The worse your reputation was, the shorter your time there was, until you were pulled back into real life. And Matt was nearing the end rapidly. Unless of course, someone could change that.
