Gigg,
Mimi heads for the water, seems mystified by all of the things you scrounged out here. A little impressed, even. She's quiet now, still leery of treats, but no longer aggressive. You have the feeling she's torn between casing this joint for …
Sierra,
You feel the crowd, these twenty folks here, listening to the music, enthralled by your words and your art. But more, you feel The Feed, those cameras you knew were here, all of them focused solely on you, no reaction shots from the crowd, …
You head outside into the oppressive heat, made even worse by the cool air you're leaving. As you move towards the garage, you spot a couple thugs in Union Jacks walking with purpose, but in the same direction. They haven't seen you, yet. Ahead at t…
When you slip under the covers, Rothschild snuggles up against you, her shorter frame gives her perfect access to the nape of your neck, which she takes advantage of as a reply. Between kisses on your flesh, she asks, "Does the meshing..." She nibbl…
Isle is half under covers and wears a permagrin. She slurs some joke about Cinch joining you after all, and her goodbye is a sloppy kiss before she passes out.
Gigg,
When Mimi stretches, she opens her mouth wide and her tongue curls back as she yawns and takes a big breath. You ask her if she wants a tour and she does a half shrug (best she can manage with just one arm) and answers, "Sure, Gigg. Water wo…
Sierra, Beckett comes striding into Diamond and heads up to the bar. She gives a fist bump to JD, then puts a hand on Reese's shoulder. Reese pulls her aside, then motions with his head over to you. Beckett looks over and smiles your way.
But you'r…
Gigg,
"Cinch and me raced, Gigg." Mimi says over the roar of swagman's engine. "I coulda beat her in Arena. I was gonna zoom high on the wall and crash her ass, but June messed with my head!" She starts to say more but then you pour on the speed a…
Motley,
You find Marigold at the bar, sitting by that guy Reese, who has a new fake leg. He gives you a "guy nod", but he's mostly watching Sierra.
Marigold lets you come up to her, she doesn't want to interrupt crue business. When it's obvious you…
Your mind opens to the maelstrom of ideas, of communication, of posers, posters, trolls, and identitophiles.
Hundreds of thousands of eyeballs are glued to screens commenting excitedly about #fourhourfug and #escoflow and Islesco OTP. There are sub…
There are a good amount, half a dozen, of cola vendors, most of the them get supplies from Bordertown East. You head back to High Rent, up to the second floor, past a room where it sounds like two people are going at it like wild monkeys, seriously.…
She does not object at all, and that's how you pass out, arm in arm, the wide world a myriad of colors and shapes, the needles left on the floor and forgotten.
Are you... Opening Your Brain here, Esco? What might you be thinking about if you do?
Your skills are incredible, Esco. Isle has no need for needles (see what I did there), and wow, that's so damn impressive, I'm giving you +1 Ongoing with Isle. Because... wow.
Do you actually fall asleep with her in your arms, affectionate and all …
Doesn't seem like Isle might stick you on purpose, but she's acting wild enough for "rolling around". Looks like you'll let it ride? Okay, good to know.
She hisses a breath when you hit paydirt and grabs your wrist. You quickly realize she's not pu…
Sierra,
Their attention is as solid as the places where Gloriana made you perform in front of thousands, live and virtual, but there's something more real here, this is so precious to them. As you hit the second verse of "I Wanna Know", Motley comes…
Mimi pulls a pistol off mortar guy's corpse, then she drops down when you try to move to the driver's side of the truck, "No!" She puts her hand in your face. "There's a key sequence, or the engine will blow, Gigg! I bet they changed it since I ran!…
Nobody pipes up right away, like they're afraid to ask for the wrong song, or trying to remember the name of the best one.
Reese speaks up, clearing his throat. "It's no Misty Mountain, but I heard you practice that one song I'm A Ruin. It was pre…
Cinch, you brace, aim and squeeze, and take mortar guy in the neck before he's able to drop the shell in the pipe. He drops to a knee, then Mimi tackles him from behind, too committed to her move to stop, and just to make sure, she stabs him six tim…
Gigg, you try to snatch the shotgun from it's little holder, but the damn thing's wedged, so you have to yank twice before it comes free. You bring the shotgun up, but you see the fugger's lowering that mortar's mouth towards you, the shell moving t…
"Well, if that's all you can do now, and if we get close to rhymin' and stealin'," Rothschild says in a serious voice, her breath tickling your chin, "Then lay a whammy on me. I hate poison, so if that's how you fix my head, get me over this, then t…
I didn't mention it, but she reapplied the warpaint.
Isle gleefully complies with the leg wrapping and chuckles bawdily as you grab hold of her breasts. "Didn't expect you'd wanna seal the deal, Esco, figured you got all the girls you wanted back a…
"Mot, we just blew our last jingle hunting this chum, and these fools hid him from vengeance!" Dokken pipes back, not wanting to get pushed down. "This junk's ours now! They're dead, they can't hold it. These miners will just strip it, and they aren…
Rothschild leans against you as you plot and scheme, hanging on every word. A light fires in her eyes when you mention Parcher's operation, "That's some rhymin' and stealin' I can get behind. Gigg's a great hitter, we can really make it work." She t…
Peppering eagerly agrees to the show-off of the car, and you head off to get it from the garage. You head out into the heat of the late afternoon, and right as you're passing Shady Shops, you see a fight's going down between some UFers and some othe…
Isle snickers when you pull the towel off, and there's a moment when you do see her body before joining her on the bed and kissing her. The tops of her feet, shins, and thighs are a mess of road burns, the kind of stuff that probably bit into bone, …
