"HELLLOOO NIGHT CITY!! How about a little story time? Now once upon a time, before the dark, dark days of the datakrash, Militech built itself a secret underground city within our city! That mysterious complex of underground bunkers, dusty storage rooms and murky laboratories was where they forged a cybernetic weapon that could shift the course of history...." My eyes spread wide as I gaze at the ceiling, the rising Sun peering through the windows.
"Hah! You really believe that fairy tale? A secret military project right under our feet and under Arasaka's noses? Puh-lease! Just another urban legend, I say. But what if there's a grain of truth to every legend? Anywhooo! Drag your asses outta your sad sack and turn to face the sky! Today you'll catch a glimpse of the crystal palace—that big wee space station in which you mere mortals will never step foot in!"
Turning over, I came face to face with the sleeping runner.
"Now, they say the crystal palace has the most expensive casinos, the most beautiful women and some Damn breath taking views - but that's what they say about night city! Heaven on earth, Heaven in orbit - what's the difference to scop eating dirt sniffers like us?"
I observed her expression as I ran my silver hand through her hair, sitting up I sat on the edge of the bed as I ran a hand through my hair.
"One thing though - you better find yourselves a nice, high hill to go palace gazing. Yep. Sorry. I just screwed you denizens of night city's lower reaches - life has screwed you yet again."
Grabbing the bullet necklace off the night stand silver chrome winking back at me, servos clicking in place one by one as i put the necklace on I rose to my feet.
A yawn escapes my lips as I stretch, stepping into the bathroom I turn the showers hot water on, "But hey, for all you sitting in the gutter looking up at the smog, Here's someone you haven't heard in while - Johnny silverhand! Here's to you, you old bastard! wherever you are!"
"It's a miracle black dog even got released." I mumble shaking my head, hot water runs through my hair and streams down my body I coughed up a bit of blood into the palm of my hand.
My brows furrowed as the blood washed away Kiwi stepped into the shower beside me, "Are you alright?" Kiwi mumbles as she meets my gaze.
Water began running through her blonde hair, in between her breasts and down her heart shaped ass. We were staring into each others eyes for a few seconds before she took the initiative.
Separating, i nodded. "Yeah, I'm alright." She hummed in response. she stepped out of the shower as i was left to my thoughts.
I watched as the blood mixed with the water and swirled down the drain, stepping out of the shower I brushed my teeth before dressing myself.
I took the meds Vik had given me as I left the bathroom.
Nibbles joined my side as i stepped downstairs - Kiwi poured herself a cup of my homemade coffee, I seated myself on the stool and pulled nibble onto the island.
Kiwi slid a bowl of cat food across the island - Nibbles halted the bowl with a paw while I leaned my cheek against the flat of my fist my eyes roaming her body momentarily I turned up my gaze as she spoke.
She leaned against the island and slid a cup over to me. "So what's up? You feelin worse?" She tilted her head as she observes my expression Nibbles digs in.
"I'm not gonna sugar coat it, I'm still dying. But i think I'm alright, Vik's drug helps a bit." I mumble sipping my coffee. "Hearing a big but in there N/N.." Kiwi mumbles arching a brow. I nod, "It's getting worse." Kiwi nods.
"You busy today?" Kiwi straightens up, I rose to my feet we stepped outside onto the pool deck, my lips twisted to the side. "Others then a few gigs, I'm free." I mumbled propping my head against her shoulder.
"Preem - I'll tag along." Kiwi exclaims, I hummed in response, nodding "A netrunner is always useful."
I accepted any gigs presented to me - as long as it wasn't an obvious suicide or double cross.
Although my circle has shrunken, Judy left the NC area along with Panam.
Vik is still the only ripper I trust with my chrome, I've done a few odd jobs with Rebecca and Falco too.
I wasn't ever particularly close to David or Lucy, so it's heads or tails on what they're up to.
Met a new runner too, calls herself Valerie or more commonly known as V.
The lights turn on - i ran my gaze along the weapons encased in the wall, "Where'd you wanna go?" I mumble glancing over my shoulder, Kiwi shrugs leaning against the doorframe. "Dunno - stroll through heywood or Something." I hummed in response.
"So what's the sitch with the gigs?" Kiwi arches a brow, I shrug, "I only looked at the detes for one of the gigs, you know the girl from Us cracks? Blue moon I mean." She nods, "Mhm, what about her? And how'd she reach you?"
"Stalker problem apparently - and Kerry gave her my number, she went through the proper channels beforehand though." I exclaim grabbing the malorian off the wall.
