Sasha comes out of the washer closet and pads barefoot in her skivvies over to the couch and plops down. Playfully pouts, "Well, you're missing out. I was thinking about shepherd's pie." She looks up at the ceiling like she's thinking "real hard", "…
Sasha looks over and grins impishly, "The super likes me. He gave me a line on one that was... abandoned. Tank fixed it up and wah lah." She notices you eyeing her TV and console and gestures, "Go on, fall in the pits. Just don't blame me if you los…
The elevator's out, again, so you trudge up five floors. Sasha pulls out her keys and opens the door for you. Inside is her cramped two bedroom place that she shares with her roomie Tank.
"Tank's working a shift, he won't be back till late. C'mon i…
"That's... wow." Sasha says in a surprised tone. "That's how you see a relationship? Commitment? Possession? That's a scary term for, you know, caring about someone else."
She sits back, clears her throat, moving on, "I mean, I get the idea of not …
Jackabacka eagerly offers up whatever you need to know, Gigg. He tells you that Swagman's been moved to the Garage and The Fat Man's mechanics are busy tearing it down and working on it. He'll roll over on whatever you need.
Cinch, you notice Mimi'…
Bee Bee takes the bread and stares at it with her unblinking compound eyes. She doesn't take a bite until you do, like she's never seen it before, and she chews slowly, confusion and thoughtfulness on her face as she evaluates this new food.
"Rufe'…
She returns the smile, hers is an attempt to be reassuring, or maybe encouraging. She puts a hand on your thigh, asks, "What's... one demon that you want to defeat? If that's too one-sided, we could trade off demons."
She laughs lightly, "He's my legit cousin. His mother and my dad are step siblings. We did grow up together, his dad's in the pen, so he's spent the night at our apartment when I was growing up for months on end while his mom was trying to get thing…
"That would be great, if it's no trouble." Sasha says, her tone shifting to being a little more comfortable. "Sorry if I seem judgey, it was just, like I said intense." She thinks for a moment, then says, "If you want to hang out at my place for a l…
Sasha senses the hesitation to get into your past and she lets the music play, saying nothing for a few blocks. "You can just take me back to Vamonos. I can maybe pick up a shift. If that doesn't work out, I'll catch the bus home."
Sasha is quiet for a block before she replies, "No, you did. It's just, you know, more than I expected. I think you broke that one guy's wrist. I..." she blanches for a moment, "It sounded... awful."
You leave Core City and Sasha fiddles with the r…
Sasha follows you, but she keeps looking back at her cousin, worry on her face. She almost says something, but the sound of sirens silence her. After a block and a half jog you both get into your car, she slides into the passenger side, then turns t…
She moves over to blonde and pulls him to his feet. Blondie clumsily jogs across the street, nearly gets hit by a car that honks at him. The demon with a mohawk flips you off with her good hand and takes off running. She can move, Bianca. She jumps …
Korean guy and his other friend who was more watching than fighting, they take off. You hear Sasha in the background somewhere, she's calling the police, you're sure.
The demon sees the baton coming for her head and throws up a forearm to block it.…
You take a swing at blonde right as he was pulling a fist back to punch Ambrose again. Your baton connects hard on his wrist and you swear you can feel the bone crack. He spins around like a broken rubber band and drops to his knees, holding his bro…
The girl with the mohawk sneers, "Don't lecture us, you skinny bitch. This guy's bringing the whole place down with his trash art! You better lay off because we all worked hard to make this place work, and Ambrose here's trying to sponge off it!"
…
Rothschild pulls a hunk of it (it isn't sliced) and holds it by her mouth playfully, "I need more bread, obviously" She pretends the bread can fly, and floats it towards you instead. "We got it at market. Rufe bought it for us, said to send most of …
Jackbacka's completely undone by this, Gigg. When you speak to him, he is cowed, eyes on the dirt, knowing his place. You are undeniable. Then, you turn things around and show him something gentle, but also unexpectedly weird. Jackabacka freezes, un…
Missed nods, you hit the nail on the head. Caller and her, that's it. She takes the water and offers thanks, then drinks a fourth of it, and offers it back, insisting that you take a drink, too. "Good water's best when it's shared with good people, …
"I will focus on Koray, my love. Esco mentioned The Fat Man was interested in the company of other men but I was unsure about that. That's interesting, perhaps he will not require your body." She runs her fingers through your hair and kisses your ne…
Sasha's "a lover not a fighter". Seriously, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She loves cooking and having fun. Which means Ambrose is on his own when the blonde artist comes up and shoves him hard. Ambrose falls back into a sculpture, then …
Sasha offers a shrug about work, "Duncan was backed up, but we worked it out, no problem. I threw in a little brown sugar into the sauce this time. Something a bit sweeter, you know? Like me." She grins, then takes a long puff, holds it, then blows …
"No, but damn, girl," Ambrose says with a sudden smile, "I think you ought be my business manager!" He elbows Sasha, "I tell Sash that she's my billboard, but I could use someone with keg-sized ideas! Shit, you got that one, right?" He laughs, then …
Sasha chuckles, and Ambrose eyes widen as he processes the response.
He decides to play along, moving closer and looking past you at his sculptures, then bending down like he's telling a secret, "Have you seen my pieces? I've heard you've seen all …
Sasha's eyes widen when you snag her vaporizer, but she looks over to see you and grins. "Yeah, it's good. I like the one of Conan bench pressing Trump in a big man-kiss, it's hilarious." She tries to keep things casual when you're out in public, si…
Fleece moves the conversation back to the work at hand, though she does take pleasure in your presence. "I am scheduling checkups for every single person in this complex. I will get a full walk-through of the underground to determine possible health…
"Ah, shite, June, you know. Families don't last... you know?" She clears her throat, then settles into telling you, "Some sandganger stabbed Wick and he got sepsis. Wilts was caught on the take, and they chopped off a hand and kicked out. We all wen…
