✧･ﾟ: All that glitters. - - - - - - - - - -

An accessory of unprecedented value , once a staple in markets and other businesses looking to ride the coat tails of his success . The spherical pair came in many colors during the seventies , but for Darkeners it holds symbolism .

A reminder that everything , is not at it seems .

Bits of code dancing in the corner of her vision , however it's far too late for Eileen to make sense of it . The world slowly began to crumble with gravity following suit , numbers assaulting each lens as her screams are drowned by the infinite white noise . Falling into their world . . . again .

What unforeseen source is responsible has little care towards the brunette's sensory issues , thus depositing her in the middle of town square , where all that stimulation can formulate to an even more deafening sound among various "cungaderos" . The landing , though unceremonious left Eileen with somewhat of a minor concussion . Ears still ringing upon lifting her head , lids fluttering only to find her view painted in similar contrast to the puppet's shades .

❝ Wh─ ?? ❞

Did she pass out walking home from work ? Did something attack her on the way ? Whatever it was her body felt like it'd been hit by a freight train , even after regaining balance . Billboards , cars , newspaper vendors , note of these surroundings are ignored until she turns around . Technicolor hues , illuminated by a familiar face with Benguiat Caslon font . Had that sign always been there ? It's here Eileen attempts to remove her [ DEALMAKERS ] , wanting a better view only to realize they were practically melded to her face . Several tugs ( and curses ) later she surrenders , panic ensuing with the now permanently equipped specs that do little other than make themselves comfy along her bridge .

Something's wrong . The streets are busier than usual , and while she managed to sift through the crowd those same numbers she witnessed to during her free fall begin popping up . Newpapers , ads , even dates plastered outside the establishments all remain the same .

( 1997 )

Only one person knows what that year means . If anyone has answers to what's going on , it's him .
