Another cold, boring monday morning had Alex completely physically and emotionally drained. He didn’t want to go in to work tomorrow, but what else was he supposed to do? Ryan, Alex’s roommate came marching through the front foor with a big stupid smile on his face leaving Alex confused.
“What’s got you all excited?”
Alex asks, perplexed by Ryan’s sudden cheery behavior.
“Oh nothing much, you know that cute streamer girl I love so much?”
He asks, his bright smile never fading from his face.
“Yeah, that one you waste all of your money simping over, how could I forget?”
Alex asks as he rolls his eyes.
“Well I won a raffle and now I get to go on an all expenses paid vacation with her! It’s gonna be so awesome!”
Ryan answered, his big smile never escaping his face as he does.
“Really? How did some live streamer afford such a big contest?”
Alex asks, intrigued.
“Oh, well this new tech start up is going to be testing a new device and their using her to promote it, whoever won the contest would get to test their new product with her and they’ll stify the results throughout the vacay.”
Ryan answered.
“What kind of technology?”
Alex asked, slightly confused.
“They didn’t really say, it was kinda ambiguous but it’s probably something dumb like an nft or some fad-product like that.”
Ryan said, nonchalantly.
“Huh… well I hope you have fun dude, how long are you gonna be gone?”
Alex asked, a little jealous that his roommate would get to experience such a luxurious vacation.
“It’s only a month, aaaaaand I’m allowed to bring one friend.”
This got Alex interested, he immediately called his work and made arrangements to go on this trip with Ryan
The day eventually arrived when the two were supposed to meet up for the trip, before they got to hit the beach they’d have to meet up at the tech start up’s HQ, apparently that’s also where they’d meet the live streamer girl who the whole contest was started over, her name was apparently Lexis West. Ryan was super excited to meet her, but Ryan couldn’t care less, he was just happy to have time away from his boring everyday life.
Once they get to the HQ they are told to sign a waiver and a woman in a lab coat leads them on a tour of the facility. Neither of them were really paying attention until reached a room with three chairs, apparently this is where the testing process would begin, they just needed to wait for Lexis’ arrival and everything would be set.
As Alex and Ryan were waiting they had only one question. What were they going to be testing?
