Image-ination - 4 Equations To Solve On A Monday Morning

Chapter 1: Studies And Therapy

~ This chapter is about Olive!! More about her will be revealed here. Enjoy!! ~

Olive slammed the door to her office, slumping to the ground with a huff. This was so annoying!! Why can't everyone just leave her alone and figure it out themselves?! Earth isn't that far- these idiots just have to realize how dumb they are and BUILD something!! Or maybe they don't even need research. Just Image and Image alone.

Unfortunately for Olive, she is the only one who has ANY knowledge of Earth. You might be confused. If they aren't on Earth, where are they? Well, Olive lives on a planet called Image. It's like a second Earth.... just different terminology. Olive doesn't know much, but the scientists are trying to gain information on Earth- and they won't stop until they get it. Why can't she just have a normal life for once?!

KNOCK, KNOCK.

Olive groaned. "Who is it.... because if you're a scientist, leave."

"It's Otto... sorry, is this a bad time..?"

Olive could hear the crack in their voice and perked up. "N-No, no!! Not at all, Otto!!" She smiled, even thought they wouldn't see it. 

"I'll let you in, here."

Olive scrambled up and glanced around the room. No clue why, but she's just been awfully cautious nowadays. She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned, glancing at Otto. She let herself smile and stepped back to let them in.

"Welcome back!!"

She held the door as Otto stepped through. They glance around slightly uneasily before letting a shaky exhale escape their lips. Olive closed the door and locked it again. She trotted over to Otto with a tilt of her head.

"Hey, you alright...?"

She murmured, noticing how Otto looked. They seemed distant... more.... depressed.... as usual. Otto was a weekly, sometimes daily, visitor at the therapy facility. There was always a problem, and Olive always helped them get it through. Last week, it was their appearance. Another was pronouns issues. Then the sound of their voice. And so on and so forth.

Otto fidgeted with their hands, staring at the ground. What should they say..... ugh!!

"So.... uhm..."

Otto's voice still shook as they spoke.

"Another issue."

Otto glanced up to look at Olive's concerned but neutralized expression. It was oddly calming to be around her, but if it helped- it helped. Olive spoke up.

"May you elaborate? Take as much time as you need."

Otto nodded at her soft response. They took a few uneven breaths before nodding again.

"Okay... okay."

[....]

AND THATS A WRAP. AHAHAH I'm soo evil cause I left you guys on a cliffhanger~ plus this was short. BUT WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED-

There was another appearance, I know. That was Otto, or Goober. Goober was their original name before changing themselves a little- like the pronouns. I might as well just write a bit about them now.

Otto/Goober: Nobody can really tell was Otto even is. Its.... hard to explain? But they wear a crown. A floating crown on their head. Otto had they/them pronouns, but will use he/him too. He has been to an insane asylum after.... stalking people. Don't ask. Actually, please do. I love telling about my characters-

SEE YOU ALL NEXT TIME!!
