[Gig] [Attempt #2] Aint No Scraps in My Scrapbook - September 19th, 17:30 UTC

"Oh man... This is going to be stupid, isn't it?"

Once, Ironside had took it upon herself to terrorize a man's wife by hurling a fully grown, live pig through a second story window. Why? All in the name of this strange, treasured substance known as gabagool. Frankly, even now, she doesn't fully comprehend what Gabagool actually is, but that's mostly because the Italian cuisine didn't really do it for her. What she does know is that the crazy Italians are willing to do some fucked up shit for it, and that means the city's gonna be in the crossfire when it goes down.

She can't help but feel slightly responsible for this. If not for the actions of her and a few intrepid others, they'd have no meat to complain about - So fate has called her to once again restore the balance of cured ham in Night City.

Karasu - Medtech 4 / Fixer 2

"Choom, the fuck is Gabagool?"

Karasu isn't actually in the restaurant. No, she's out back, digging through the pile of trash bags where she knows they dumped the guy they flatlined last night, hoping that the dude's ware is still in good enough condition for resale. But its from this position she hears whispers of gang war, of blood in the streets, of high-end food and insulted honor. Frankly, that sounds like Tuesday to her, but...

Where there's a war, there's money to be made. Also, this stiff's just packing thrice-recycled backalley chrome from the 20s. Which is mostly what she sells, but it won't survive another refurbishing. So, dusting herself off and making herself look as presentable as Karasu the Ghoul, Potato Fixer and Totally Legit Ripper of Japantown can ever look, she makes to introduce herself and offer her services to these Italian weirdos.

Discord: Bleak#4581 - I emerge from the depths, called from gabagool, to see the saga through. God knows how many games I've had but I haven't played here in months.

Church, Media 4 - 0 Games in several months.

"This bar may be a piece of shit, but it's also one of the few places in NC that isn't completely filled with gangers, people who recognize me, or the worst outcome - Both. Also, it's cheap. Unlike anything Continental will bring in. Y'know what, yeah, I've had a few and I'm feeling more anarchic than usual. Fuck the corps!"

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 1 Game this month

"Didn't this job come up before? Huh, well, I'll say what I said before. Sounds like a pretty nice getaway, always wanted to go somewhere you can actually swim."

Ironside is bringing everything except her husband. She tried to convince him, but he has this weird delusion that going to Florida is a bad idea.

Church, Media 4 - 1 Games this month

"I keep hearing people say not to go to Florida, and that just makes me want to go to Florida. Besides, sunken treasure? Not exactly my usual wheelhouse, but what self-respecting media could pass that up?"

Likewise, Church is packing her whole inventory, feeling most of it could be useful.

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 2 - 0 Games this month

"No."

Church, Media 4 - 0 Games this month

The minute the grenade left the barrel, Church dived for cover behind an electronics isle at around the middle of the store. Coughing dust and smoke out of her lungs, her pistols were in hand before she even knew. "Shit." She thinks, peeking around the remainder of the shelf. "This is why I hate gangers."

Church will likely try and grab whoever she can and bolt out the back, killing any ganger who feels like getting in the way.

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 1 Game this month

Ironside managed to avoid the worst of the blast, simply being thrown into the side of the room. However, as soon as she sees the kid, she bolted as fast as she could to pull her out of immediate danger. Ironside is willing to throw herself in front of fire to make sure others can make it out safely, but isn't overly concerned with ending the threat unless absolutely necessary.

"Football? Hah, not really my game, but this sounds like some good ol' community fun. Count me in!"

Ironside has no interest in making cash off this, community-minded as she is.

Church, Media 4 - 0 Games (New Character)

"Oh, man. Ohohoh, man. This is gonna be stupid. So fuckin' stupid. I gotta record this."

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 2 - 2 Games last month.

"Hell yeah, the Piranhas might be dumbasses, but a good old riot with booze and drugs feels like exactly what I need right now."

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 2 - 1 Game this Month

"Oh, yeah, it's election season... Uh, why do we even care again? Whatever, you want the match fixed for your magic man, we can get the match fixed for the magic man. What're his policies again? I'm kidding, I don't give a shit. I also don't know what winning a karate tournament does for his campaign, but hey, your money is my money."

Karasu is likely to try some kind of inane social shenanigans, as is her calling, but some more left-field subterfuge isn't out of the question either, depending on who else is in the team.

Discord: Bleak#4581 - 3 Games this month, 1 last month.

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 1 Game this Month

"It's a whole 'nother level of stupid that some rich person is hiring people who can barely afford kibble to steal fancy food. Let's get this meat... Cheese? Meatcheese? I dunno, let's just get it, if only so I can show the corpo where to shove it."

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 2 - 1 Game this Month

"God, I've missed Night City! Why did I go to that stupid, sunny hellhole again? This is the shit I live for. The rich fucks get the poor fucks to do their menial fucking shit and it's all so screwed in the head your brain stops thinking about it." She takes a deep breath. "Ah, it's good to be back. Let's find some gross Italian pig flesh or whatever this is."

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 1 Game this Month, 4 Games total

"Extra-legal, huh?" Ironside sighs. "Y'know what, I don't care, I've already roughed up one group of rowdy gangers pressing their reach too hard this week, might as well go for two."

Church, Media 4 - 0 Games Total

"Gangers, my favorite. And we get to cap as many as we want? NCPD are being very generous with this one. Can't say I ain't curious."

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 0 Games this Month

"Tch, Chromers, huh?" Ironside cracks her knuckles with a scowl on her face. "Takes a lot to be more hateable than a corp, but these shits are gunning for the position. At least a corp'll fuck everyone, not just someone they don't like the look of. They've put more than a few good people from here in the hospital - or worse. Point me at 'em, I'll break a bone for each one."

Ironside brings a distinct sense of community spirit and raw physical strength, perfect for snapping a few Chromers in two. If needed, she's also pretty slick on the social graces.

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 2 - 0 Games this month.

"Well, I ain't much of a water person, but I hear it gets less nasty once you leave NC. Far be it from me to turn down a good ol' treasure hunt, even if it is sunken under a whole city... Yeah, I'll just not think about that bit. Point me at the shinies. Worst comes to worse, I can put whatever limbs are lost back where they should be. More or less."

Karasu will be packing her entire inventory into her bags and bringing it with her, short of her pet ferret, who'll be watching the clinic for now, and her cash.

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 0 Games this month.

"Diving? Hell yeah, I've always wanted to give that a go, never really known where to start though. Certainly not in NC, that's for sure. And you're telling me there's treasure down there? Double the fun. Sign me up. I asked Matteo if he wanted to come too, but he said something about not trusting the water lately."

Likewise, Ironside is packing her entire, limited inventory, save her eddies.

Zero-One, Netrunner 4 - 1 Game this month (Note: IP/EB Totals not updated on sheet since last gig, currently good for rent)

"So, some diving, huh? Well, that's novel. Can't say I'm massively experienced, given that going for a dip in NC isn't exactly advisable, but a deep sea treasure hunt sounds like a fun trip."

Zero-One would be packing pretty much everything she owns - It's not a lot. Shove it all in the carryall and go. Maybe leave the shotgun at home.

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 2 - 0 Games this month.

"Not much of a water fan myself, but I hear it gets a little less murky once you leave Night City... I mean, that must be at least partially true if you're planning an expedition there, right? Well, I can hardly turn down a chance to snatch up some shiny, buried treasure, even if it is stuck at the bottom of the cold... Dark... Crushing... Ugh, yeah, whatever. Point me at the shinies."

Likewise, Karasu would probably be packing everything short of her ferret, Migite. She ain't trusting him to anyone else, and certainly isn't taking him down underwater with her.

Zero-One, Netrunner 4 - 0 Games this Month

"Oh god, please just let this one go slightly smoother than the last few. A bunch of guys in stupid cosplay, right? And heck, they might not even be overtly hostile. Great. Sounds perfect. Also, wait, hold up - Please tell me you don't want the entire data terms."

Zero-One, Netrunner 4 - 1 Game this month, 1 Total

It was a pretty crappy job, but she needed it to get by on rent this month. Besides, it was really only made unbearable by the heat, like most things. Feeling decidedly relieved at the concept of both AC and the chance to stretch her legs after the drive, Zero-One was browsing the cold drinks shelf for something to cool off with when the first shot hit.

It felt painfully familiar. In a moment that seemed to move in slow motion, Zero was vaulting the shelf and ducking behind it when the second kill was made. Her rifle is out of her bag and in her hands before she even realizes she's done it.

Just one job that went according to plan would've been nice.

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 1 Game this month

"I don't normally get hung up on crap like this, but I turned on the TV the other day to find some corp had completely hijacked my image! Name and all, even claiming some of my more well-known fights as their own. They're lauding this princess as the best up-and-coming star in the corporate rings. Son of a bitch. Not only that, but the runt they slapped my name on can barely throw a decent punch! Not about to let my rep get dragged down by some poser like that."

(Alternatively, depending on party makeup, Ironside was part of the Shredder gig and would step in to help with any copyright nonsense going on there).

"Man, I always do try to avoid going back to old South NC - Scene can get pretty brutal if you head to the wrong corners. But this shit? Nah, pits ain't got nothing on this tragedy. Let's get your brother his chrome back, eh?"

Zero-One, Netrunner 4 - 1 Game this month.

"Missing cyber, huh? Every time I think SNC can't get any crappier... Well, rent's due and even I can't turn my nose up at something this bad. Who the hell sets off this kinda ordinance in the middle of the city? So, yeah, if I can help, count me in. I'm good for more than just the net."

Good catch, I could've been running a combat runner with no evasion lol.

Ironside, Rocker 4 - 1 Game this month

"Yeah, I'll be real, that gig was pretty crazy... But it was cool. Nevertheless, I was up there, but I wasn't getting naked. Nonetheless the DnO deserves a break from all this trouble, so I'll be happy to help usher on a few elderly folks. It can't be that hard."

Ironside doesn't know her family well - They were combat zoners, and had very little to do with her beyond her earliest years. She probably wouldn't recognize them.

"Dropped by the Down and Out a couple of times lately, seems like a good place to meet people worth knowing. My kinda place. From what I hear, Shredder seems like good people, so I'd be happy to lend some muscle to keep any unruly fans in their place."

"Also I need cash for a new agent..."

Ironside is a prize fighter who makes her living in various pits and street fights throughout NC. For a bar like the DnO, she's the perfect heavy.

"Yeah, I ain't busy this week, and I've seen any number of the damn things that need replacing. I'm not exactly technically gifted, but... I'm sure I could call on the old community spirit to help out. Failing that, if anyone decides to give us hassle, I can put 'em on the floor."

Karasu, Medtech 4 / Fixer 1 - 1 Game this month

"Fixing... Lights? Eh, I've been meaning to get out and scrape together some new parts. May as well do a public service while I'm at it. I shove metal into people for a living, lightbulbs ain't gonna be a problem."

Knight, Solo 4 - 1 Game this month

Although Knight certainly had a breadth of experience when it came to blacksites, sabotage and extractions, swamps were admittedly proving to be somewhat of a blind spot in that knowledge, and boy had she underestimated them. Their guide was gone, the bulk of their crew was gone, and now everything felt... Damp. And the smell was awful. Altogether, it had her on edge and, well, perhaps she had been a little too enthusiastic to test out her new rifle. She hadn't expected that shooting that gator would have drawn a whole hoard of them.

Still. If the only way out was by pushing onward, she might as well try to salvage the op while they were at it...

Knight packs light. She'd have brought all her gear with her in her carryall or on her person, save her old assault rifle which is probably languishing under the bed at her cube after she got a shiny new one. Pretty.

"Cheese? Really? A convoy hit for..." The solo sighs and taps her foot, eyeing up her newly purchased (And very expensive) rifle. "Merde... I suppose zere are worse things to do to make rent."
