A/N: I'm gonna experiment with perspective stuff now so uhhh give criticism. Two dashes after a sentence mean it's the end of the text message part.

James' POV

I'm here again... the empty home that once was mine... why my dreams keep bringing me to this plaza is beyond me, but I carry on anyways. I look to the rusting, unkept Deca Tower. It seems to pierce the dark night sky, dwarfing the shops and walkways near it, not as big as the square's of course.

I walk towards the entrance, the automatic doors pried open. The monitors displaying map rotations and such are broken, or turned off. I had hardly realized how cold it was until I stepped further into the complex, my breath appearing like a cloud in front of me.
Destroyed weapons and broken ink tanks litter the locker room floor. The changing room curtains are ripped off from the bar that was once holding them. It's so dark I hardly notice something glowing from the corner of my eye while wandering.

The moment I do see it though, I've already found myself on the ground, my hand getting cut from falling on shattered glass. I look at the purple ink and blood flowing from my hand briefly before turning my eyes to whatever has seen me. The eyes... oh god...they pierce through me, judging me for what I have, have not, and will do.

I throw myself awake, gasping for air,
What the hell? Another nightmare? I hardly had dreams before this... I look over at my clock. 7:57. Damn it. I get up from my bed and stretch, and yawn. I tiredly walk myself over to the bathroom and hit the lightswitch.

I put my hands to my face seeing the scar that sprawls along my jaw. A rush of memories come back. The bang, the light, the.... It hurts to just look at it. I go back out and get my clothes and put them in the bathroom.
I turn on the shower. At least this'll help.

He's uh..he's just sittin there. Beeg beeg yoshi.

After I finish brushing my teeth and tieing my hair, I go back into my cold room. I grab my painter's mask and put on a firefin face mask, prepping to go down to the basement of the complex, going to a sink to wash my mask. After that dull task was over, I returned to my room, and checked the time.

11:47

I'm getting pretty hungry... I go and check my fridge, and little to my suprise, theres not much. Cupped ramen it is. I fill the ramen cup with water to the fill line and was starting to put it in the microwave when my phone went off. I turn on the microwave and go to check my phone out.

You have (1) new message

You have a package in the lobby here for you. Envelope taped to it, too.-

I scratched my head, confused at why I had something. I hadn't ordered anything from Annie's, had I? Whatever. Probably just Garv's. I quickly put on my painter's mask, dashing to the elevator. As I almost got caught on the elevator doors, I smacked the lobby button and leaned against the wall.

As I heard the ding of the elevator stopping, I walked over to the front desk and took the package. It uh.. well it definintly has my name on it...
I tapped the front desk "Hey uhh... Jen.. did anyone.. suspicious drop this package off?"

She looked up from her book and shrugged. I sighed and went back to the elevator. Moments later, I arrived on my floor and proceeded into the main room. I closed the door and sat on the couch, taking off my mask.
I place the package beside me and open the envelope. Definintly has my name on it... Inside was a letter from Mr. Grizz.
