inFAMOUS; Equestria

Hi. My name is Jake Garrison. I am a free runner who delivers packages for a living. It's a fun job and as a bonus, I get paid. I live in Manehattan, the place to be for anthros and humans alike. I lived alone in a one bedroom studio apartment, or used to before I met Hector. I have a girlfriend in Ponyville. Her name is Applebloom. And she is such a sweetheart. But anyway, I'm 17 with blonde hair and green eyes. I have a lean frame which helps for my job. I wear a white T-Shirt, jeans, sneakers and a half shoulder bag. I have a scar along my face from an accident where my cheek hit a pole. It doesn't look that bad though.

But one day, my life was changed forever.

March 30th, 2010. I was relaxing with my roommate Hector. It had been three months since he moved in. He took care of cleaning and I took care of cooking. But anyway, we were watching TV when I got a call on my cell phone. I answered it, and on the other end was a "Hello," with a voice that sounded burned up. I answered back with a "Hello."

"Is this Jake Garrison?"

"Yes," I replied.

"I need you to deliver a package to me," responded the raspy voice. "On Hoofington Avenue, someone will be waiting for you with the package. If you say yes to the delivery, that is."

I nodded. "Sure. I'll deliver your package."

"Good. Now, get going. This package is important to me."

And then, just like that, he hung up.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and left. I started to run, and jumped up to grab a ledge. I then kicked off and grabbed another ledge. I repeated the kick and grab pattern until I reached the building top. I then ran and leapt onto another building, grabbing the ledge. I then pulled myself up, spinning and landing safely on the top. I ran continuously, then I hopped down a roof level. I hopped down a roof level until I reached the ledge. I then dropped down and grabbed a pole, where I slid down with ease and landed square in the middle of Hoofington Avenue. Some people had taken videos and a few pictures of me.

I looked around and saw a café, where I liked to kick back and relax. It was called 'The Hoofington Perk.' I sat down at a table where a college kid sat there with a laptop. I guess the place had free Wi-Fi now. But anyway, I sat down and waited. A waiter approached me and he asked me, "Welcome to the Hoofington Perk, home of Manehattan's famous espresso. What would you like to have?"

"That espresso sounds hype, I'll have that. How much?"

"10 bits, sir."

I paid up and waited. When it arrived, I took a sip and slowly fell asleep.

3 hours later...

I lay in the chair, asleep, my espresso half drank, and my mouth wide open. I was then shaken lightly at the shoulder. This sudden motion woke me up, and I fell to the floor. Grunting in pain, I yelled out, "Who did that!?!" A man stood before me, concealing everything except his eyes, which were a deep blue. He was an anthro, I could tell by his muzzle for a mouth. He handed me a blue and silver spherical object and said, "Deliver this to Downtown Manehattan, on the Church rooftop," before leaving. I got up and grabbed the object, then slipped it into my bag.

I ran downtown, and on my way, a few people waved at me, saying thank you for the packages I've delivered in the past for them. I simply waved back in response and started to climb a building. I then leapt from rooftop to rooftop until I reached the Church. I jumped and grabbed a ledge. I then lifted myself up and ran to the guy waiting there in a white hooded cloak. I stopped running and casually walked up to him. He turned to face me, and he had a look similar to mine. But that didn't matter. I took out the package and tossed it to him. He simply caught it, then tossed it back.

"Open it," he said to me. I grabbed some handlebars on the ends and twisted slowly. I then pulled it apart, showing a cylinder that glowed blue in the center.

"Now close it."

I tried at first, but it appeared stuck. So I jammed it shut.

And in response, an explosion occurred, and I passed out.
