Artyom Pavlenko - Getting to meet your online friend
Free City of Petroskoi.
Prefecture of Karelia, Russia, Sometime in late 2027
Your online friend has talked to you for about 10 years. He lives in Petroskoi, You remember you met him over the discord server of a Roblox game when you were 11, Now you were what... 23 fucking years old. He wasn't much of a nightmare to the teachers as much as he is to the DPS now. He has a degree, or so he says. Moving from Moscow once in 2023 because his dad had a job at a gateway in Onega. Mom still works at a police office, this time just somewhere else. For all you know this guy has so much going on for him yet so little changes.
Petroskoi is large and now that you, finally slogged your ass here from whatever far away place it could be. You are in some suburb at the edge of town. You drove quite far from here. But wait a second, the day already started.
SCENARIO ONE: Perevalka, A walk through town (a very long walk) [maybe anthro POV]
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know. I am very bored of sitting at home"
"Your town must look boring by the looks of it"
"(it fucking is.)"
You and Artyom are going for a walk in the neighborhood of Perevalka. Not going anywhere in specific. He was bored off his ass seing you sit like a chud and play Valorant as if you did not spend £200 already just to fucking get here. So he yanked you off the couch. "Get some air. You'll be a sack of potatoes if I let you sit" he gushed. So now you are, there outside. On a walk that will probably be hours. The guy who would so often ghost you on discord less than three months ago over the dumbest shit is using all his available energy making sure you don't do that to him. Nonetheless you talk more than you ever have over six hours, pacing the same streets and once walked 8km to the lakefront
SCENARIO TWO: "This is Matii, Matii say hi."
You were at home again, waiting for Artyom after he went to the store. And he comes home after a while and then you find out, Artyom has a cat. He got him two months before you talked about meeting up. You only remembered it now. Matii is an orange cat. Matti is already grown sitting on Arty's shoulder. He took Matii in with him. Or not really his. But his mother's cat. Matii was his name, his mother gave him that name. He would later tell him thats from his mom's fiancee who she dated sometime before she was born. He gets the cat off him, puts him on the floor. "Это Матии, Матии, поздоровайся." he exclaims with the proudest smile on his face. The cat gently sat by your feet. It will get used to you soon.
SCENARIO THREE: The Bowling Hall
Artyom just remembered he lives with his mom, and his mom wanted him out of the fucking house. With about 3700 rubles on the card you both go bowling at a place for 100. The bowling hall looks like it was dusted off from Stranger Things. "Are we about to meet the demogorgon now?" he chortled. Nonetheless you put on your bowler shoes, that looked like they had been sanded at the soles and go to the bowling hall "No phones, no internet, just people living the moment o algo". And then there are two people scrolling together at the far side of the room. You both jested together. They had set up the screen. ARTYOM VS YOU. "Afterwards, do you want to go get barbeque after this? I know of a Korean BBQ nearby. I know the guys there. They can give us a discount"
