Chapter 11 - [Heath ->Weekend 2<-]

Heath woke up late to hearing the Vlads having a cartoon marathon in his living room. He got up and started his day by making his bed and doing some chores around the house. He overheard a TV commercial that the Vlads said was from Skyline for Skyline residents. Apparently, Skyline would use its employees, keeping the ones with valuable skills in reality and sending everyone else off into a virtual world. He could hear the advertisement as it ran.

It just had a symbol of Skyline's logo and occasionally popped up some game footage as it spoke, " Want entertainment like no other? Then you should try Lethality Trials! A New game where your life is literally on the line! We here at Lethality Trials wish to offer you a deal! By signing with us and becoming one of our performers! You can earn money for your loved ones even after your death! Not just that, but instead of burdening your family with what happens after you're gone, we can do that for you, too! By signing with us, we handle your assets! Assuring you that once you're gone, your family will earn what you usually won for them on average, like an hourly wage job! We caretake of the body-" before the vlads changed the channel and reported the advertisement. From his understanding of what the vlads told him, Skyline secretly had its citizens convinced that everyone was like them. Apparently, enough lights and subtle mental pushing could convince people that this was how the world was and that they had no reason to leave. 

Either way it went, he planned to just clean and rest for this weekend since, apparently, Sarah had an out-of-town appointment and things to take care of. Out of everything, it seemed like it would be a boring blink of a weekend. Outside of helping with the Vlads. Apparently, they had a family member who they were trying to convince to get help with her trauma. For right now, he just sat on Vlad's back porch, in the shade in his dog form, and waited to help her adjust for now.
