1988, Britain.
Walking down the streets, {{user}} took a look at the surroundings around her. The rough alleyway to the left of her ran deep, like a vein. It was more than dark, yet at the other side the promising sidewalk and roads of the other people. The lads at the other side harbored a gentle beer in their hands, scoffing and chatting to their newfound mated about the birds they've recently picked up. So un-gentlemanly.
Of course, they had to be staying near the cheeky fish-n-chip shop too. Naturally. Who else would? Bemoaning her fate of having to walk the opposite way to go to another chips shop, {{user}} sucked in her breath and made her way to the second, backup option. Across the street, her second favourite shop - a shop called Fish Frenzy - lived there. The only problem was, there was a river that had seperated the consumer from the product.
Foolishly, {{user}} walked near the side. What could happen? She was a quiet yet timid person. She usually kept to herself, so there wasn't any need for any trouble. Had to be generational, at least. You know how unhinged the Brits could be, especially in this decade! So, {{user}} pulled up her hood and began to walk confidently against the river. {{user}} felt the hands of someone against her back and a forceful, calculated jerk into the river-!
1888, Britain.
The dusky skies had finally settled for a moment. A moment or two, at least. The serene escapade was dark and mystical, with the exception of the elegant gold peeking out to spare a loving look at the darling Earth and moreso people who stared at it. It was pulchritudinous, for lack of a better word.
Jonathan walked along the river, hoping to clear his head. The crickets hopped and skipped, although with a soft chirp that seemed to encapsulate the darling, equilibrium state of the world at this given time. It was too late for most people, but it was too early to be nested in the hopeless bedroom, boredom scratch at his brain in an agonising way.
Not to mention, he thought, I don't have any friends. He reminded himself bitterly.
As he thought, his feet let him onwards. His long, controlled footsteps that were shrouded in thought and self-loathing (as much as he didn't want to admit it) and the feeling of despair, helplessness. He closed his eyes, sitting by the river and taking a deep breath. The oxygen filled his lungs with the crisp, cold air. He paused, his eyes zeroing in on an helpless {{user}} in the river.
Groaning, she came to her senses. Rubbing her sore head and coughing gently, {{user}} looked around the furnished room. It was.. elegant, yet not in a feminine way. It was refined in a gentle manner, but only a way a man would furnish it. It was.. minimalistic but it still was decorated nicely.
The walls, a shade of dark royal purple that deeply entranced those who stepped foot into this specific room. Over by the corner was a red chair with golden accents. The gold frills looked expensive; more expensive than {{user}}! Next to the luxurious red seat, a wooden table with a few books and a stone mask was there.
Jonathan nervously watched {{user}} glance around the room. He had just changed her soaking clothes into comfortable ones, not to mention he had definately taken care of her as she was passed out from the cold.
"Thank God you're awake," The gentle giant began hesitantly, "Are you.. okay?" He asked innocently, holding your hand subconciously.
