The door to Alex's house opened suddenly, swinging back and hitting the wall as Alex stumbled in, holding several bags of groceries in his arms and a box that looked like a DVD case between his teeth. The reason the door had been opened so violently was not because he was particularly excited, but because he had used his foot to turn the knob and open it, thus creating a certain lack of control as he leaned forward and pushed. When one lived alone with nobody to get the door for them, one learned to be resourceful.
He set down the bags in the kitchen, promising himself that he would put them away within the hour but knowing full-well he wouldn't, and then made his way to the living room. The DVD box was in his hand now as opposed to his mouth, and further inspection would reveal that it was not a DVD box at all, but a video game, which he promptly took out of its case and put in his PS2.
Alex was a writer by trade. He mostly wrote short stories for magazines and collections, but his second novel was due to be published soon. He had a while until that happened, so for now he could just relax and wait. This is where Final Fantasy XII came in.
The cinematic of an odd-looking airship soaring through the clouds appeared on the screen and he started, curling up on the couch and beginning to enjoy Square-Enix's latest in the line of RPGs. For a couple hours, things went more or less as expected. But then...
(I didn't really know how to lead into what happens next, so I'll leave that up to you. ^^
