Mishka Blaze walked into her favorite place of all time- the library. Her mind buzzed, wondering what books she was going to check out today. She first headed over to the Romance section and thummed the various titles. She picked out two interesting enough titles and hurried onto the Self Help section. Sighing to herself, Mishka spotted a familiar title- How to be A Game Designer. Oh, how she wished. Ever since she was ten years old, Mishka dreamed of becoming a game designer, but she didn't have the true skill and nature to be one. She could play video games just as well as the hard core professionals, though. Mishka picked up a book- How to be Sexy. She laughed. Just as she was about to put it back, a hand touched her shoulder. "Excuse me, miss Blaze?" A tall, gaunt man with sunken in violet colored eyes was staring her down kindly. Mishka took a step back, clutching the book to her chest. "Um. May I help you?" She stuttered. He held out his hand to issue a gentlemanly greeting. "My name is Arson. Could I have a word with you in the back of the library? I promise I am of no harm to you." The man named Arson smiled sheepishly, as if he were in trouble for talking to a complete stranger. Mishka has never seen this strange man in her life, yet he knew her surname... "Sure, I guess I have time." She was confident and cool as ever. Mishka may be a born introvert, but she still knew how to talk to people, no matter what level of strange she encountered. Arson politely took her hand once more and lead her to the back of the library, in the Miscellaneous section. They sat at the small bench and faced each other. "Do you want to be in the video game industry?" Arson grinned as he asked Mishka. He watched as her big, innocent blue eyes widened in disbelief. "Yes." She managed to breathe out. Arson's grin turned into a full fledged toothy smile. "Good, good." He pulled out a card from his tattered, black leather wallet. "Give me a call or shoot me a text. We could use more people like you on our team. Or if you just want to know more about me." He sneered, and with that, the strange man walked away without so much as a good bye.
