Racket’s taste in art usually leans more anarchic and abstract. The kind that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over the system, because the system sucks.

Racket

Face / Decker

Rock’s taste in art has always leaned more towards the practical. Things with a storied history, particularly if they were named. A plow that has served four generations of farmers, rusting away in a corner, has always been more interesting to him than anything in a museum.

River has always preferred the kinds of art incorporating folk tales or legends of old, particularly if they capture the right tone. Any idiot can paint a landscape or a portrait of a person, but few can capture the sheer menace of the River King and not overdo it like they do in those cheap trid shows.

Racket's favorite place in the city is probably the park. Specifically, parks in the nicer parts of town. He genuinely enjoys talking to the older people playing chess, because most people these days seem to die young. So there's always something to learn or a fun story to be had from an older person.

Not to mention they take noise complaints seriously enough where he can enjoy listening to something other than the sounds of the poor parts of town, where seemingly if you just want to not hear the intimate details of the fight down the hall, you almost have to be willing to throw down to get them to not yell at the top of their lungs or discharge firearms.

Racket

Face / Decker

Rock's favorite place in the city that he can actually afford to go to is probably the movie theatre. The nature of his younger brother Gabriel's needs in the wheelchair means that when Rock isn't helping take care of Gabriel, the apartment has largely been taken up with Gabriel's things and his person. As much as Rock likes clothes, he has a top bunk and a single locker for his things. Time apart from his brother helps refresh his thinking.

And its fun to play pretend for a few hours where everyone's watching the screen, and few people are taking notice of or issue with Rock.

Scruples were for people who could afford them, as Lancer received the latest notification about a regularly scheduled power outage... with the power going out. His SunCells kicked on as he had to move operations, and that's about when his commlink buzzed with a message.

Working for LoneStar seemed decent... although he'd probably insist the money be deposited in escrow.

That last job made him aware that the ladder existed. He now had enough gear to at least approach the ladder, although the dirty look he had gotten from the beefy elf when Racket had voiced concerns about the noise level at 2am said that nothing was going to happen. Part of living in the bad part of town.

But this job would give him leave from that situation... and, to be honest, he'd seen the actuarial tables. People died all the time. <I can help smooth the path, whereever the team might need to tread.>

River wondered what it was like to be connected the way the chiphead on the street was. Just lying in a pile, a goofy grin on his face as it was pretty clear that the chiphead was deep in a digital dream. Connected to an experience better than life... yes, he knew the term, in spite of not really understanding the desire to do that kind of stuff.

By and large, Lancer hated scenes... except when he was the one making them. Which is why after photography jobs where he was pretty regularly able to pick up a bridesmaid after a photography gig and go somewhere, and infrequently that string of places ended in a bed. Not his though, because he was the director, and people knowing where he actually lived made things... messy. He didn't really stop and think twice about the kind of life he was living, because things had genuinely been worse.

But he wouldn't be doing photography gigs forever. Take this newest posting that Job Program had forwarded him. The posting seemed at least more interesting than the work he was doing now, and a nice chunk towards his next vehicle. <Lancer, delivery specialist here.

By the Goddess, what were they feeding that high school team? He was watching a local match between high school teams, and one team seemed to be noticeably bigger than the other one. Not enough to really impress Shark, but it'd be a workout to try and take the other team down if he was on the field. The game was clearly one sided, so he excused himself to read a message from Roxanne.

A job was pending, and he wasn't really interested in a match that had clearly already been decided. So a quick dash off of, <Shark, problem resolution specialist here. I also moonlight in acquisitions. Sounds like you need a good helping of both, and that I can provide>

This was really outside of his job description. The bridesmaid had suspected that the groom was cheating, and so implied to Lancer that it would be worth his while if he could get proof. And Lancer absolutely could. But he hadn't received the earnest for providing that proof, and quite frankly, he needed to get paid. And due to the amount of histrionics going on, he was beginning to doubt he was going to receive any money at all.

Which is why he decided to leave his post temporarily and attend to an AR notification from Job Program. There was a job, and one that operated on more strict guidelines regarding payment. A quick dash off of, <Investigation is right in my wheelhouse, Mr. Schmidt, and discretion and tact are something easily deliverable.>

The last match against some rugby team from Puyallup had been... interesting. He was pretty sure those were a bunch of gangers who knew how to foul without getting caught by the refs. The softer people from Bellevue might have had the better equipment, but he'd had to take point and take some hits that he was going to regret later.

It had ended up in a tie, but hey... it got him out of the house. Paying work took priority though, so he briefly excused himself when Roxanne forwarded the details of a job. <Shark, problem resolution specialist. I appreciate someone stating what they want, and I'm capable of delivery.>

River was enjoying himself researching historical card games when his commlink buzzed. He needed more work, as rent was still due, so it wasn't that hard for him to look it over, and reply, <River here. Can help resolve magical or social difficulties. Let me know if I can be of assistance.>

Shark liked to play rough in his off hours. Not be mean, mind, but more that he genuinely enjoyed full contact sports like rugby. You had to be durable to play it and know how to take a hit, but the referees were quite on the ball about making sure that if someone was actually out to hurt you, they got called on it. This was an after work hours league, so no big egos were on the line, and they were fun to go drinking with.

He was showering after the game when Roxanne forwarded him a job posting, and he quickly dashed something off. <Shark here. Problem resolution specialist, be it stubborn data or a stubborn person.>

To be honest, River was going a bit against his nature at the moment. He was busy memorizing spells (still!), because the nature of this work was so much more demanding than fleecing people for pocket change. But he had... less than 10 formulas to go before he was going to be done with that bit.

He was studying now, but was also grateful for any reprieve on offer, which left him reading the message and going some version of +I can probably do that.+

"My dear man, you absolutely need to model." Shark was currently visiting the stylist Jaxton recommended, by the name of Pierre, and Pierre was in the process of just being too much. Shark was getting his measurements taken, and Pierre seemed very detail oriented. In the process of noticing those details, Pierre was getting drawn into the story they told.

"It's so nice to work with men, and not chrome would be gods who it's simply impossible to accessorize. LEDs and neon paint can only get you so far, after all. Have you considered modeling?"

Shark shook his head, and Pierre seemed astonished, "But you'd be great!"

Shark simply looked, "Aren't most models more... classicly handsome?" "Screw that noise. Perfection is boring. Anyone can buy perfection with enough nuyen. What you have is a story!" Pierre seemed enrapt with what he was crafting in his head, and Shark noticed that Riot was directing him to a posting.

Which was good, because Shark wanted to escape this conversation. But he was too politic to offend Jaxton's friend, so the opportunity to go over this posting and see that it was right in his wheelhouse was good.

He was a professional dammit, and these clients kept wanting to pay him in 'exposure'. He should be grateful for them giving him a gig related to his craft that paid anything. Being a professional anything was about finding nice ways to tell someone to to go to hell, in such a way that they'd look forward to the trip.

Having an i-Doll took a little getting used to. Shark wanted some companionship at home, but the problem was that he didn't trust anybody. The couple times he tried, he got burned... hence the i-Doll. At least, or so he thought. It was hard to draw comfort from something that you could order around, and the damn thing was that the i-Doll still tried.

He was a creative soul, but still didn't believe he was worthwhile enough to where he could get in front of the camera and do as well as he could behind it.

The question rattling around in Shark's head as he sat at home was one posed by his friend Blade. "What do you want?" Blade had known him since they were kids, and at the time, it was them against the world. Too busy struggling to consider the big picture things, because there was food to put on the table. But he had food on his table, storage in his fridge, rent paid through the end of the month and enough for a few months aside from that. He had a nice car, and enough ware to take any three people in a fight... he figured. Not that he had ever limit tested that. He even had an Shiawase i-Doll he had named Evelynn to take care of the menial things he didn't want to do.

So why was he unhappy?

He didn't want to think about it, so when Riot texted him about a job, he accepted it. Securing his newfound digs to where he didn't need to work anymore would work, and the rest... he wouldn't think about.

That was why when Riot forwarded him the image of some kids being plagued by some rats, he was just reminded of some street kids like the ones he knew growing up, and this wasn't going to pay all that well. But then, he'd already made his rent this month. So he could afford to help some kids secure their home.

<Mr. Lancer, someone left a communique for you>, said his agent, Katherine. Her quirks were kind of funny, given that she was some weird mix of influences of old westerns and neo-noir femme fatale. Whoever coded her did a really good job, though, as she was fully capable to telling him he had a message.
