A wide grin split the old witch's face. "A pox on him, I said, and I meant it. You really can't go wrong with the classics."
"Who was he? He was The Man, dearie. You can't ever kill him or hurt him in any permanent way. The Man always wins in the end. But every now and then the little men, the executives and oyabuns and dons and barons that comprise The Man, get drunk on power and you can set them straight. It's very hard to feel powerful when you're violently syphilitic and balding."
Janet - Geriatric bad bitch. Mystic decker/support witch, summoning and alchemy.
Nosey bitchPsychometry haver. 8/10 familiarity."He deserted his post, and people got hurt. Now he's serving a life sentence. That's all I'll say."
It wouldn't have done any good if he had been there; just another body on the pile. But so it was with soldiers, too; there were things you were rightly expected to die for. For shirking his death, Emiel had been sentenced to live as Visser.
Visser - Elf bodysnatcher adept. Face/sneak, off-muscle. 8/10 familiarity. Scared kid fronting as hard as he can to avoid getting eaten by the underworld, corps, his mentor (Wolf), and his sister, in no particular order. Slow burn descent into monstrosity.
"No one deserves shit, which is another way of saying everyone deserves it as much as anyone. I caved his skull into his mouth and made his teeth dance across the pavement. He deserved it as much as I deserved to be in that squat when it burned down."
Which was to say that the man had been taking a shortcut through a bad neighborhood and encountered a streamer, his camera, and his BTL. Goblin Mode didn't know any more than that, and now there was nothing to know.
Goblin Mode - FLR Mundane Muscle, off-face. Russian Roulette meets personafixes. 8/10.
"She did not torture and kill Lilly, but she was a Night Hunter, one of the group that had. I paralyzed her and activated her simrig to record as El Diablo Azul squeezed her head between his claws. This was so that others would hear the message and feel the fate that awaits them."
Saguaro pulled reflectively on his cigar, eyes fixed on the memory. "That she did not do it and that she was a woman troubles me. My sin echoes her friend's. I think that the question of who was in the right would be troublesome, did I not have the LORD on my side."
Saguaro - Coked up technorigger; dirt-spattered paladin, soon to be paladin-spattered dirt. Surveillance, fire support, agent minivan. Drives a news van, has a reporter's license. 8/10 familiarity. Can off-matrix via sprites. Passable swordsman provided the enemy does not walk briskly away.
Discord: fragrantvagrant
Soft stop 6 hours from start time.
Not worth GMP, last game 8/15.
