Art of Freedom

Once the police found out who I was, I was released immediately. I really am going to have to be a little selfish now. Tim and the others was able to get Blaire out and now there is a lot of talk going around about the government being corrupt. I knew this, but I have a feeling that it might get worse before anything actually changes. I am going to drop out of school. Yes...I am going to drop out and head to Las Vegas. Madeline told me that the art there is beautiful and free. That is where I want to go. Freedom is what I search for now.

2 Weeks Later...

I made it! I'm in Las Vegas. It is very strange here. A lot different than what it was like in New York. Somewhat barbaric, but it sure emanates freedom. I like it. I've been around to see all kinds of different art. I've even been researching art that use to be in the Metropolitan Museum of Art back home. It was more beautiful than what it is now. Maybe that will change soon. I haven't heard much about new york since I left. I'm not sure I want to know. If I find that the people are free, I might want to go back to become a part of the new society, but if I find that the people still aren't free then I will feel obligated to back and help. It is probably best for me to remain ignorant until I can no longer avoid it.

I have posted my favorite art from the past on this social media website that people have used for over a hundred years. It's called tumblr.com. My blog is http://www.tumblr.com/blog/alecmezera.

Trouble

It's been a few days since we all met at King's park. The whole plan was for Tim, Madeline, and Rocket to enter sector B and attempt to bring Blaire out. My role is to stay at the bar and keep the cops distracted because they are now looking for Tim. They want to arrest him, because they want to make it look like he is responsible for Blaire's disappearance. I was kinda bummed that I didn't get to be in on the action, but hopefully something will happen that will raise my adrenaline...

10 minutes Later...

What in the world is going on? I was back in the bar's office trying to sort out some paperwork when this loud crowd entered the bar. They sound very angry. I went out to see what was happening so that I could prevent any fights from breaking out. Those aren't so rare these days. When I stepped out from the back, I was surrounded by police. The leader, a large bald man, stepped right in front of my face and asked where Tim was. I knew exactly where Tim was, but I couldn't tell them that. I tried to convince them that I had no idea, but they must be catching on to what we are trying to do here. They seem frantic like someone in great authority is pressuring them to find Tim. They want someone to blame this disappearance on. I explain to them that I haven't seen him for days, but that was not the answer they wanted to hear. The bald man ultimately decided to arrest me just so that he arrested someone connected to Tim. The officer didn't know however who I actually was. I spent a few hours in a cell but my family's connections allowed for my early release. I wonder what will happen to that officer?

I Am...

I am nervous but excited for the things to come. Nothing exciting has ever really occurred in my life. Now that It has I don't want to let it go...just yet.

I am the working grunt. I am doing a lot of the ground work, but I don't mind. It means that I get to be right in the mess of things, getting to experience all the chaos that occurs.

I was born into a rich, proud, and governmental focused family, but I no longer fit into their norms or beliefs. I am not sure that I ever did.

I am young and naive or innocent, which ever you wish to think, about the how the world actually is. With the help of others, my eyes are being 'forced' open. I see our government as a manipulative parent instead of a protective one.

I am an employee at a local bar. The bar, within itself, has provided me with an opportunity that has broadened my view on those below the rich and how things should be...and will be.

After this is all over, I plan to leave this city so that I can experience the freedom that individuals from other cities get to experience every day. I will escape...after this is all over.

I have full intentions to show and make the manipulating power that I no longer need their support or ways of life. Will any others follow me...?

Advancement

We are finally getting to talk aloud, or we will get to. All of us are suppose to meet up together at King's Park Psychiatric Center to talk about how we are going to get Blaire and Rocket's friend out of Sector B. I'm not sure who chose this terrible place to meet up, but I guess if it's the only place where we can finally talk aloud about what has been going on without fear of being heard then I'm okay with it. I remember my parents saying that this was one of the few places that the government couldn't keep guards stationed at due to the freaky stuff they claimed to have occurred here. They also can't listen in with their technology due to the paranormal activity. It's literally the safest place to talk. I only hope that the spirits that are said to haunt the place don't come out to play while we are here. Once we figure out our plan of action, we will finally be able to get something done. This waiting around wondering what will happen is getting old. This will be the first time that we are all going to be together. Let's hope we all get along long enough to figure this out.

I get this feeling that I am being watched, but I am in the middle of nowhere. Plus who in their right mind would follow me to this psych center or even know where I was going? It's probably just my nerves. They've been shot ever since this all started. I'm gonna have to tell Tim that a few days off work is needed.

Why is it that Tim and I didn't meet up with each other before coming here? He's been acting kind of strange lately. I don't know if the disappearance has caused him to crack, but something is definitely different. If so, this psych center might have done him some good...if it was still functioning.

There it is...it's massive! They must've kept a lot of patients here. It looks like nothing from Manhattan; maybe something out of Sector B. Sector B buildings are really old and rugged. I don't see anyone else. They must all be inside. As soon as I reach the door, I hear the loudest female scream. Craaaaap...it sounded like that reporter, Charlotte. Probably saw a rat or something. I guess I should try and find her......

Map of Action

Map of Action

After deciding to attempt to rescue Blaire from Sector B, we wanted to create a map for all of us to see so that we could connect all of the different points and information that we all discover. Combined, the amount of information we do have is great. We are beginning to understand one another, and I think that will help us through this process. I never knew that Madeline was from Las Vegas. That is why she was able to describe to me what the MET use to be like! I guess they don't have as many restriction as we do. I mentioned on one of my points that I see Tim every once in a while wondering around central park as if he is looking for something. It says on this map that he is searching for Blaire. Why would he be looking for her there? I thought that we confirmed she was in Sector B. I definitely need to ask him about this. This map is going to give me insight on who all of these people are, and if I can actually trust them. I hope that I can.

Initial Push

I went into work today, and I automatically knew that something was up. Blaire went missing. Blaire is the ex-girlfriend of my boss, Tim, who is the owner of the bar. He told me that she had something important to tell him, and then she just vanished. It's been 3 days since he has heard from her, and we have no idea where to start looking for her. I couldn't tell this to Tim, but it wouldn't surprise me if she was taken to sector B by the government. Recently, there have been a lot of people taken there without giving the public probable cause.

We had created posters to place and hand around town. I passed them around, but I doubt they will be helpful. I also have noticed their being some new and odd characters coming into the bar. When I say odd, I don't mean rugged. Those are the types we are use to. When I say odd, I mean people who you would expect to ever see there. Rocket Anderson showed up when I made it back to the bar. Strange that he was there. Maybe he would know something about Blaire.

My name is Alec Mezera, and I am the youngest of three children. In my society, families only have one or two children within one family. Unwanted or bastard children are rare, but here I am. Due to my unexpectedness, my parents were unable to choose the way in which I look. I am what they call an old 'beauty,' but this I do not understand, and for this I am ridiculed.

I was born in the year 2097. It is now the year 2114. Age is a term no longer used by our society for those who are older than 18. People still age, but with today's technology age is hard to determine. Vanity is a common and dominant trait.

I am a junior in high school who can pass as a popular student due to my academic and athletic abilities. Many people like me. I should say that many people like me for the role that I play. If I were to act as I wish and as I truly am, life would be unbearable. The norm of the society that surrounds me can be summed up into a single word - selfishness. Success is measured in the ability to reach the top no matter how you get there. When you fall, pain doesn't explain the hardship that is to come. Revenge does.

I belong to one of the most prideful families of all the Fierezza Territory. I belong to the Mezera Family.

The history of the 'new' society is short, and not much before it is known...anymore. All that we are taught is that it was an era of pain and suffering that we were saved from. Today there is no more disease, no more hunger, no more war. It is a time of peace- at least in the physical view. We lost something when we lost the length of pain and suffering. Now, pain is short and rare and by choice. The simple term of choice evolved to exhibit desire and is expressed as so. This is the norm. I do not feel as if I belong, but as if I am one of them, the race of purity. The one minority that exhists today. The slaves of today's society.

Alec Mezera here. Something has changed. Nothing around me has changed because nothing ever changes so it must be within me. Maybe it has always been there. Maybe it remained hidden until the right time came. I am not sure yet what is happening, but I am going to attempt to describe what is happening to me. I hope to figure it out...soon.
