"thoughts and Text" 'mid dialogue actions'
It's midnight in LA, the City of Angels. The main character, Demos, is sitting in an alleyway wearing a gray sweater, sweats, and slippers, and around him, the ground is littered with trash, and the walls are covered with graffiti and posters. Demos has given up on trying. He was dumped by his girlfriend a week ago, she found someone else with more money and a better profession than Demos, and to make it worse, he got fired from work on the same day his girlfriend dumped him, without a job and not wanting to use the 700 bucks to his name for a room, he decided to sleep in the alleyways. Wanting to save some form of warmth he grabs fallen posters to act like a blanket, while grabbing posters one of the ones on the walls comes loose and glides in front of Demos as he grabs it, looking at it has poeple wearing and holding medieval armor and weapons, above the peoplein armor it says New Hunter Academy, and at the very bottom it has an address and a bit of text as it reads "Looking For Aspiring Hunters Ranging From Age 18-22 For Our Hunter Academy, Come To The Address Above, We Stop Accepting Students By 2-5-2020". Demos looks at his cracked phone as it's on 5% Battery, and the current date is "2-3-2020". Demos speaks in a monotone, emotionless voice.
Demos: I fit the requirements... I should at least apply, and if I don't get in....well I guess that's just my luck
He gets up and looks at his reflection in a puddle as he sees his black hair and dull black eyes.
Demos: Like I would get in, but I guess it's time for me to shoot my shot
Demos moves through the city as he reaches the address, as it's a tall skyscraper with a giant digital billboard on the front of Hunters. He enters the building, which is very white and clean, with many people around wearing suits. As he feels like the odd one out, he spots the front desk as he goes up to it and sees a receptionist wearing a gray suit, as she has long black hair and black eyes. The Receptionist speaks in a calm and relaxed voice.
Receptionist: What's the purpose of your visit
Demos:uhhhh for this? 'He shows the poster he found in the alleyway.'
Receptionist: Ah, the Hunter Academy Public Tryout. Go to the elevator to the third floor, and the person there will instruct you further.
He walks to the elevator as he goes to the third floor, and while the elevator moves very slowly, he thinks to himself.
Demos: "Hunter Academy, 50 years Ago Blue swirling gates appeared across the world, they were investigated but soon as a week passed the Gates Shattered as mosnter of fantasy came pouring out killing indiscriminately, Ever since that humans got superhumans powers to combat these forces, and the Hunter Academyis the best school to train young people to become professional hunters, the only thing we know about the gates iif not cleared in a week they will break, but if they are cleared the gate will disappear, and that the world inside the gate is vast, Way bigger than earth"
When he is done, the doors open he sees another front desk with the same person he saw on the ground floor as he walks to the desk.
Demos: Didn't I just see you on the ground floor? How did you beat me up here?
Receptionist: You're mistaking me with my older sister
Demos: older sister? But you sound and look the same
Receptionist: I assure you, we are two different people. I assume you're here for the Hunter Academy Public Tryout?
Demos: Yes
Receptionist: Got it. Hold on for a moment for the Tester to come
She presses a button on a black disc, and soon after, a middle-aged man with short gray hair and gray hair wearing a light blue shirt with a white coat over it and white pants and shoes walks in. The man speaks in a deep voice.
Man: I'm Mr.Walker. Follow me
Demos follows him through the hallways till they reach a door labeled "Testing Area 1" as Demos sees it's very white with the only color being a light brown wooden table with light brown wooden chairs with blue cushions. Walker leaves Demos there, and after two hours, Walker returns with a clipboard and a crystal ball.
Walker: Sorry for the long wait, I have you phsysical and magical capapbilties but they were tested so long ago, so we have to retest them, which won't be long.
Walker puts the crystal ball on the table.
Walker: First, put your hand on the ball and insert your mana
Demos: "Mana, a source that always existed, but Humanity only found out how to use it and that it exists, when the Gates appeared, which gave us the power to fight back."
He closes his eyes as he imagines his hand glowing with mana, and when he does, he opens his eyes and sees his hand is glowing a light blue, as this is the crudest way to use mana. After a while, the Orb changes color as it turns red, gray, green, blue, yellow, white, and then black. Walker scribbles down something on the clipboard.
Walker: Same results as the previous test you took when you were born, Affinity for all the basic elements, Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Lightning, Light, and Dark, follow me
He leads Demos to the next room over, as the room was labeled as "Mana Testing Room 1". Inside the room is just the same set as the previous room but this one has a black device where one would put their hand, and from it 8 wies hook up to a black coputer where the screen is faces away from the black device.
Walker: All right, just put your hand on it and do the same thing you did with the Ord
Demos walks and sits on the seat that's farther from the door, and Walker sits on the chair nearest the door. He turns on the computer as Demos inserts his mana, and after a bit, Walker speaks.
Walker: You can stop. Your potency has increased when you first took it, your potency for each element
