Grim Fandango part 2
Chapter 1, Check in
Manny looked around. Suddenly the white light faded. He was suddenly sitting at a chair infront of a desk. It was a brightly lit office. Great light poared through the windows. He could see clear skys and clouds. "Well well well..." Manny looked at who was behind the desk
On the other side of the desk was a great chair. Manny noticed that the desk had drawers like Domino's desk did all those years ago. Suddenly the chair rotated. A thin looking skeleton sat at it. "Let me see here." He took hold of some papers on the desk. Manny was still confused. "Wait, whats going on here?" The skeleton looked up.
"Oh yes. Well you..." he said while taking a beige paper folder out. Manny could make his name out on the front. "... had a ticket on the number nine train. Well from your point of view this is the 9th underworld." Manny looked around. His view of the ninth underworld was something different. The skeleton looked as if he was not surprised about his look.
"Tell me. When you died what did you think would happen after death." Manny couldn't remember very much from his life. He remembered he spent much of his high-school years in detention and a few years in sales. "Well I thought we would go to heaven or hell." The skeleton looked as if he was waiting for this. "Exactly. Instead you go to the eighth underworld. So is it much surprise that the ninth isn't much different?"
Manny couldn't strain from his logic. What proof did he have that there was anything on the other side of the tunnel. "Anyway. I am Parkinson. This is the ninth underworld. What did you do when you were dead?" Manny didn't understand the question. "What do you mean?" Parkinson sighed. "What are your skills?" Manny knew this. He said them a few times before. "Sales, restaurant management and leadership." Parkinson took out another folder
"Well then. Take this." He took a long passport out. Manny remembered suddenly how Chowchilla Charley couldn't counterfiet passports. "This is keyed to your specific skills. It will be able to get you a job to your specific skill type."
Suddenly Manny felt himself being shooed out of his office. He still had many questions such as where Meche was and what was going on. But he still doubted that he would get any answers here.
As Manny walked out of the office he noticed he was not in an office building. It was just a small one room building on the edge of a large cliff. Manny looked around. He was on a one way street. The buildings looked sunken and depressing. Manny thought to himself. "I wonder where Meche is..."
Author's notes: I know I didn't give a lot of information here but more will be revealed as the story progresses
