The night was pretty cold, but thanks to fate saying I was in a toasty bed I didn't get too cold. Right next to a park entrance there was Chelsi. The girl I knew for a long time... and who made me suffer this fate...
Chelsi said "Good evening Colin. Something you wanted to talk about?"
I stared and asked "Ugh... I did, but I feel like asking why you aren't trying to cover up?"
Chelsi was buck naked and she smirked and said "Well I tend to go to sleep naked if I can get away with it. It's not that odd among people like us." She saw me trying to look away, but she walked in front of me and asked "Like what you see?"
Upset I said "I'm not interested in this right now! I just... I just want things to go back to normal"
Chelsi sighed and said "There's technically a way, but you have to unlock it first. Also you'd basically have to lobotomize yourself or you'd feel like you were trapped with no way to actually do anything."
"explain"
"It's an upgrade which lets you sync yourself with your fate. You can cancel it at any time, but from people who've tried it... Well since our minds are so different from who we were when we didn't have free will. Our actions and words are forced and we essentially have no input. To get things to the way they were you have to get rid of a lot of knowledge which I don't think we can do without doing lasting brain damage."
"but... Is that even possible? The brain damage thing since I'm not fated to get brain damage."
"Oh it's possible to change fate... Just going to be something you realistically can't do for awhile. There's an upgrade for singular fate changes, and then there are special upgrades but we'd be getting ahead of ourselves." Chelsi stated
"So what am I supposed to do? Mess around with the president?"
Chelsi chuckled "Ah, that's a good one. It's a bit of a pilgrimage in a way. You and I-"
"No..." I stated
"Wha-"
"No. I said No. Chelsi you knew I was in a happy relationship. Then you do this, and... I just can't have that relationship. Some version of me might be, but I can't! I'm not sure if this was jealousy or something, but..." I groaned for a second and said "I'm not sure if you were jealous or something, but I called to have someone to talk to and explain things a little. You at least owe me that much. However at least for now I can't be around you."
"But, Colin I ju-"
"Not now... I need time to think and decompress. I'll figure out some way to do the president quest, and by the time I get back I might be willing to listen. Thanks for letting me know I basically can't get out of this, and for pointing out the quest was a good direction... Just need to figure out how to get to the white house..."
"Oh that's easy j-"
"Not now Chelsi! You know how I hate it when you spoil stuff like this." I thought for a second and deciding now was as good of a time as ever I decided to go the the White House by...
