A Live-In Lover.

So, here's the bad news: you've hit rock bottom.

Sucks, right? You lost your job, got kicked out of your apartment and all you have left is a cardboard box with a few things your parents left behind when they died. Things are rough. Real rough. You've reached out to the few friends you have to see if they can take you in. You came up with a list of every-one you could think of who liked you enough to put you up and called every single one. It was a bust every single time.

Your Aunt Greta? On holiday in Tahiti. Uncle Greg? He's dead. Cousin Harry? In jail for tax fraud. Your situation seems bleaker and bleaker with every call you place. However, its not until you reach the end of the list, calling the last person you thought would ever help you, that you get a positive answer.

It's your best friend from college, Jake.

Back in college, You and Jake Meadows were as thick as thieves. You went everywhere together, raised hell like no-ones business. After school ended, you got a crummy office job. (which is how you got where you are today.) Jake, however, went to work for his father's company, AlphaTech. You had no idea what this company really does, but whatever it is made him a rich man. The two of you drifted apart after that but you do talk every now and then.

Now, he's agreed to let you stay with him at his place. He's even offered you a job at AlphaTech! This is great! I mean, sure, you've heard some... weird things. Rumors about the Meadows family that give you pause. Back-alley deals, illicit technology and strangely sexual stories. But, It can't all be true...

Right?
