(Setting) 58th and 60th Intersection
| >A blond haired little girl followed closely by a burrnette 14 year old cat boomer walk down the street and towards the pile to investigate
| >after removing one or two garbage bags, she finds two tied up, blind folded and gagged girls, dressed in mostly rags. The purple haired one looks to be the older one, around 17 or 18, while the other, silver haired girl looks around 14.
| >Oh and the purple haired one doesn't have any legs. Small detail
| >The two quickly undue there restraints
"Are you guys okay?"
>The blond asks, her monotone voice containing a hint of concern
| >The silverhaired one comes to her senses and... hides behind the legless girl, shaking.
>Meanwhile she groans and sighs
"Just...peachy..."
| "I am sorry this happened to you two. Do you two have a home? Family? We will gladly take you back to them. If not, We can give you a place to stay"
| >She shakes her head, confused, and a little dazed
"I.. think so? Ugh but i don't really want to leave Pumi alone..."
>She grips the hand of the other presumibly mute girl, Pumi
"Ah, i'm Tiki. Thanks for buying us!"
| "It's no problem. I didn't want you end up in some creeps hands. You two can crash with us for the time being. My name is Wendy Darling."
>Wendy puts her hand on her own chest. The girl behind her steps forward.
"Hi my name is Tu-"
>She is quickly silenced by a glare from Wendy. She sighs
"My name is Tiger Lily It's really nice to meet you"
>She grumbled slightly
| >She looks at you somewhat skeptically
"Uhm.. are you sure your parents will be ok with that? you're all younger then me... and that's saying something."
| "We don't have parents. Also I am much older than you. I am 27. Lily here just turned 24"
| >The look visibly confused, but shrug, Pumi lifts Tiki up and carries her still trying to avoid eye contact with the group
"Well then, lead the way... please tell mere there isn't that much walking."
| >YSS approaches with her mouth full of toast, dragging an enormous mudstained Fresh-n-Reddy bag behind her. She perks up her ears at the sight of four unprotected strangers, tries to flatten her unkempt hair as she steps forward.
"Hi! Can I hook you up with some free bread?"
| >>291374
>Pumi's eyes go wide as she turns to you, dropping Tiki
"Wha hey!"
>She sticks out her hands expectantly
| >YSS opens the bag.
"Take all you need. Seriously, I thought you were going to be suspicious because, you know..."
>She rushes to try to catch Tiki
"Free things in this city, most of the time, are lies. Especially the ones you need to be true. You're lucky you ran into me. If someone else came at you with a big bag..."
>She glares at Tiki
"She might want to put you inside it. How long have you not had those legs, gurl?"
| >>291418
"Yeah... but we're both really hungry, so i can't blame her"
>She sighs
"For most of my life, and i can't get them replaced with augs due to some serious rejection issues."
| >>291721
"Ehh why the sad look? atleast i get to be princess carried everywhere~"
>She smiles at lily, while Pumi was busy scarfing down bread.
| "Well... because that was my fear when I was little. I didn't really have anyone to take care of me so I gave up my existence so I wouldn't die immobile on the street"
| >>291599
"I'm Yss. If it's hard to pronounce, you can call me Yeesha. If ya don't like me, you go like this:"
>She palms her forehead to mimic a headache.
"Yeesh! Aaaaaaaah!"
| >>291746 >>291716
"Ohhh, I see what's going on. Wait, no, I don't! You guys aren't successful beggars! I totally thought I was stepping on your toes... sorry. But, hey, if you need the bag it's waterproof shelter."
| >>292065
"Thank... y-you..?
>Lily looks at her slightly flustered and bewildered
>>292190
"Nice to meet you. I was inquiring more about what your relation to these two is"
| >>292438
"I, uh, you're not together? The way they clung to you I..."
>Yss untangles a knot in her own unkempt hair.
"I don't know, I just see things that don't add up. The way Leggers depends on Shiny Hair? Like she's not used to moving on her own? They really need help! Even a half wit organlegger is going to see those two and think 'unfunushed choppity parts hu can't run too gud.'"
| >>292438
>Tiki mumbles in a soft maternal voice
"There, you are blessed by the benevolent tiki, so no more talking about sad stuff now ok ?"
| "Okay...?"
>Lily gently scoops her up
"Wendy, Let's hurry up and go. I don't wanna stick around too long"
"Fine"
>Wendy sighs
| >>292495
>Tiki clings to Lily tightly
"Onward ho!"
>Pumi follows close behind, a piece of bread in her mouth a happy look n her face
| >Wendy slips Yss her number before following the group.
"Hey Pumi want me to carry you? We have a long way to walk"
| >Wendy picks her up easily and hoists her onto her shoulders They all walk for a very long time, walking to the very outskirts of Glitch City. They come to an abandoned warehouse in disrepair Wendy goes up to the side of the building and knocks in a complex pattern. The ground beneath them disappears and the drop in pitch blackness for a few moments before reaching what looks to be a hallway Both Lily and Wendy easily land on there feet while holding the two
"You both doing okay?"
| >Tiki appears to have fallen asleep in Tuna's arms, while Pumi has an extremely excited look on her face, "Let's go again!" it almost screams
| >>292568
"Okay it seems like"
>Wendy observes, Lily giggling. The lead them into an elevator which takes them.to a studio apartment. It is sparingly decorated with a simple full size bed and tv as well as a kitchen but there is not much else.
"I had this room set up for Lily but she seems to have moved in with her employer... So you two can stay here. I will assign one of my android to you to take care of your needs"
>Lily takes Tiki over to the bed and tucks her in
| >Tiki blushes as she is tucked in
"Jeez I can tuck myself in... stop being so mothetly >3<"
>Pumi meanwhile jumps off wendy and onto the bed, quickly falling asleep.
| >>293171
"I thought you were asleep, sorry"
>Lily scratches the back of her head embarressed
"I'll check up on you guys later tomorrow. I'll have Camilla assigned to take care of you"
| "Mmm Okay."
>Soon all that can be heard is loud snoring, looks like they were exhausted
| (The last line was said by Wendy did not specify >3>)
>The next morning, a green haired android enters and starts cooking breakfest
| >Tiki crawls over to the kitchen and pulls herself onto the counter
"So whacha making?"
| "Pancakes"
>The android had a spatula in one hand and a smart phone in the other
|
| "Ooo... All this for us?"
| >>292476
>Yss's tail stands on end.
"Dangerous four word combo: 'everything is under control.'"
>>292542
"Whoa! Wait! That's fraggin blighter territory!"
>Yss tries to run after them. She stumbles. Every few steps her legs try to go sideways.
She tries to follow. Keeps a staggering pace. Stops to catch her breath, she sees them knocking on the door of an empty ruin.
"You scared them, Yss. You are never gonna not be..."
>A black void swallows them.
"I knew it. Fucking Glitch City."
| >>294010
>She spends all night tracing a circle around where she thought she saw the four girls disappear. Sometimes she knocks on the door. She tries to check inside, but can't find anyone.
>On all fours, tracing clockwise, counterclockwise, until the tears make it impossible to see detail.
>It's not even a stakeout. Just a losing battle against sleep...
| >>294031
Wendy comes out to check on her
"Are you okay? You been doing that for hours. I gave you my phone number if you needed anything"
|
>Yss jolts out of a dreamless sleep...
>>293276
>Sunrise and a flash of black? Or more sleepiness?
"Ohhhh dreck..."
| >Wendy sighs
"Yep. Definately sleep deprivation"
>She knocks the pattern on the wall and they drop inside her hideout
| >>294002
"Nice to meet you Camilla! Say... so uh, who exactly are our saviors anyway? hopefully not more sex traffickers..."
| >>294064
"Master Wendy is the leader of Wraith, An organization who wishes to improve this city by fighting crime and removing corruption. Lily is not apart of out organization but is a close friend of Master. This is her bedroom your in but she rarely uses it which is why master put you here"
| "Oh i see... So they're super heroes then!"
| >>294077
>Yss giggles.
"Is this a gang? It sounds like a gang. How much do you charge for peace and justice?"
| >>294175
(Your not with them. Wendy took you back to her room. I was letting you react to falling but basically Wendy took you to her room after)
| (Okay cool I will speed things up for you)
>Wendy takes her to her room which is located on its own floor and can only be accessed by an elevator with a key. Its a studio apartment complete with a small robotics workshop. Wendy tucks her into her bed.
"Sleep"
| >>294184
>Yss stops screaming and curls into a ball. She pulls her tail up through her knees and holds it. She tries to slow her breathing, and chants into her socks.
"Mrfgrowrrfr... zzzzzzzz"
| >>294136
>She throws her arms up excitedly
"Cool! a bunch of super lolis and shotas fighting for justice!"
>She nearly hops off the kitchen counter before turning back to Camilla,
"Ah, do you have a whiteboard or a notepad? It'll be easier for Pumi to communicate o3o"
| >>294229
Wendy sighs and makes sure she is comfortable before sitting on the couch and picking up a controller
| >>294474
>Still in a ball, Yss mumbles in her sleep. She kicks, and slowly pulls her leg back in. Her tail falls into her half-open mouth where it snags on her teeth.
>She jumps awake, spitting out a mouthful of her own fur.
"Bleh! Ya still taste like a monarchy, Maya!"
>She tilts her head and blinks when she sees Wendy.
"Ummmm... dream argument. Hi. Where are we?"
| Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexxxxxx
| >>294544
"Your room. Like you're in charge? Or your parents? Or... Way too nice to be a holding cell. Nevermind."
>She sits on the edge of the bed.
"Last night... um... where's Leggers and Shiny Hair? They okay? I saw them go poof and I think that is what happened..."
>Her voice trails off.
"So kaa, game time. I can wait."
>She kicks her feet, watching Wendy play.
"What game is it? Can I join? Is there a vs mode?"
| >>294961
"I am in charge, my parents are dead, and your free to leave whenever you want"
>Wendy's eyes never leave the screen
"They are fine. I have taken them in. If you wish to join you can there is a two player mode"
| >>294816
>Camilia pours them both orange juice
"Master is looking into getting you something to allow you to be more independent"
| >>295339
"The ability to take care of oneself"
>Camilla remains focused on her phone
"Before augments, Humans had other ways to help those with disabilities be more independent. We could get you a wheelchair or some prosthetic legs"
| >she thinks for a bit
"Hmm... It would be kind of nice to not have to crawl everywhere but..."
>She sighs
"I don't want to be a burdan..."
| >>295322
"No parents? I know what it's like. I mean, my parents aren't dead, just... impossible to live with, but we're in the same place. I think? It's not weak if you miss them, it helps to keep you going. Reminds you you're tough, but not a dried up turd for it."
>Yss spreads her arms and tries to hug Wendy.
| >>295428
>Wendy allows it.
"It's okay. I can't remember them anyway"
>>295423
"It Wouldn't be any trouble"
| >>295435
"... heh."
>She slowly lets go of Wendy, and picks up the second controller. She holds it backwards, sideways, upside-down.
"Wiz throwback, gurl. Is the screen all you need to see? This isn't going to tap into VR and try to kill me with motion sickness, right? How do you play?"
| >>295762
"Yes. just the screen. This was created long before VR."
>Wendy proceeds to show her how to hold the controller and the controls
>>295843
"Anyways I will be here 24/7 to attend to any needs you two should have. I should have a small white board here in a bit"
| >>295850
"Do you also like VR racers? Last one I tried was Death Engines: Lead Rumble. Couldn't handle it. Biofeedback is jacked up SO high on those games..."
>Yss crashes.
"Did you see that? It was a stealth corner! Drove right into me!"
>She somehow manages to steer her pod in the wrong direction and gets stuck.
"So, yeah, what are your favorites? Besides this game."
| >>295855
"Nope. I do not have a boyfriend. I am simply browsing the internet"
>>296081
"I have never tried any game like that. I mostly just play older games. "
>Wendy is doing fairly well, being in fourth place. She seems to know where all the twists and turns are, having played this game countless times.
"I do like to play pokemon. RPGs in general really"
| >>296198
"Yeah"
>She simply states. The elevator opens up and a blue haired android leaves a white board and a set of scented dry erase markers by the entrance before leaving
| "Huh... diddn't think tha- oh i'll get that!"
>Tiki crawls over, grabbing the whiteboard and suddenly at a lost of what to do, Pumi too distracted with food to help out.
"Uhm..... Hm..."
| >>296171
"RPGs are wiz. You get to be the hero, people care about you, the stuff you do matters, and if you give up the whole world goes with you. Nobody shits on heroes for caring... unless it's an MMO. Then it's 'rush through game to get stuff or you're holding us back.' Too close to real life. Ruins the whole thing. What do you think?"
| "Well I have never played an mmo but you can't rush the player through the game it just takes away from the over all gameplay"
| >>296215
"Gameplay aside for a sec... if real life was more like an RPG, what would your quest be?"
| "The same as it is now, to improve this city"
| >>296242
>Yss sighs.
"Some of the best people I know live on the streets. So do the worst. They all look like trash. I hope that's not how you see it."
| >>296249 >>296251
"I think you misunderstood me. I ment pushing back against the massive crime spree that has infected GC. I have nothing against the homeless."
| >>296256
"My quest would be..."
>Yss jumps on the bed
"Get the throne! Get the ultimate weapon! Level up to a million and punch the city in its fucked up face! Hit it so hard the corps are corpses and the police are paste! You hear that Glitch City? You got one minute until you explode!! Aaaaaaaaah!!!"
>She punches the air.
"I'm just kidding. Real people live here, so I just try to make their lives less shit. Some quest."
| "I think it's a nice quest"
>Wendy looks at her curiously
| >>296398
"Wha?? No, it was a joke... nevermind. I'm just saying thanks. C'mon, smiling is not a crime. See?"
>Yss grins, showing off her dainty little fangs.
"Hnnnnnnnng..."
| >>296662
>She molds Wendy's mouth into a weird lopsided grin.
"Uhhhh... there. You have a nice smile. Hold it."
>Yss takes a picture with her smartlink.
"Was that so fraggin' difficult?"
| "No?"
>Wendy looks at her questioningly
| "No not at all. Am I acting oddly? I do appologise"
>Wendy pulls out a book from her pocket labeled 'Social Etiquette: Pocket edition and flips through the pages
| >>296835
>Yss bursts into gigglefits.
"Oyabun, this is not a company mandated business card exchange!"
>She rolls off the bed, takes a second to catch her breath.
"Owww... n-no offense, I wasn't expecting you to do that."
| >>296894
"It is okay. I don't really understand social concepts very well so I usually flip through this if something is confusing me. What is an Oyabun? I know that friends call each other nicknames but I do not understand that one"
>Wendy continues flipping through the book, unphased. Her eyes never leave the pages.
| >>296942
"In the Yakuza, the Oyabun is the boss's boss's boss. Like grandpa boss. He has to be super serious traditional all the time. If he shows any emotion at all, it's an insult to Yakuza honor. But he's also super badass and he has no time to mess around."
| >>297048
"Ummm glad you don't think I'm putting you down! I can see you got feelings, it's like you lost them and it's cute."
>She pats Wendy on the head.
"Did I give you my contact info? You got a datalink or comlink or terminal?"
| >>297078
"I have a personal encrypted Comlink"
>She taps the side of her head
"I guess it couldn't hurt to give it to you"
| >>297135
>Yss gives Wendy her contact info, along with the photo from >>296749
"One day you're gonna find out where you left all your feelings. When you do, make that face. It'll help ya."
|
| >>297230
"That book, though, it's like... the owner's manual for a skycar you don't have. Stuff you need to know if you ever set foot in it and the dog brain confuses up with sideways. Useless for those of us on unicycles. There's no math problems for the exact number of fucks to give, but you always know, right?"
>Yss throws her arms wide like she's about to catch a blimp.
"I'm trying to be your friend. Do you want one?"
| >>298040
>Tilts her head to match Wendy's
"Thanks for putting up with my bullshit. Can you show me out?"
| >>298124
"Of course and your welcome to come back anytime"
> Wendy leads her into the elevator a0nd through the complex to the exit
| >>298423
"Bye, hope to see you soon"
>Wendy waves at her as she leaves before going to check up on >>296209
(Never saw this post I am sorry ;3;)
"I hope it meets your needs"
>Camilia proceeds to clean up
| >However upon noticing Tiki's predicament she stops and picks her up, bringing her to the table
| "Thanks...."
>Tiki mumbles embarrassed, finally going back to her food. She passes the whiteboard over to pumi, who quickly scribbles something down
"THANKS FOR FOOD."
| >>298599
"No problem you two. Don't worry Tiki. Once we get some prosthetic for you, you won't need very much help. You'll be able to do alot more on your own"
| "Ugh... i'm still a little wary... the last time i tried to get legs the rejection was so bad i ended up with less leg >.<"
| "A wheelchair would be nice... i tried getting one before, but nobody had that old tech..."
| "I am sure Master could build you one"
> at that moment, Wendy enters the room
"Hello master"
>Wendy looks over the two
"How are you two doing?"
| "Perfect! though i'm feeling a little flustered over all the care you've been showing us..."
>pumi writes
"PEACHY. THANKS"
| "This is just the basics that all children need. Your welcome to stay for as long as you wish. I am not for sure what situation you were in before but if you have no where else to go we will gladly take you in"
|
| "Huh..."
>She mumbles something
"As long as we wish?"
| >Pumi spots the lolipop
"OWO. GIV."
|
|
| >She takes the lolipop and licks it generously
"THANKS MOM."
| "Your welcome..."
>Wendy pats her gently, giving her a curious look
|
| >Pumi gives wendy a wide eyed look
"=w= U GIV GOOD HEAD PATS."
| "I try to. Do you really think of me as your mom?"
>Wendy takes a seat beside her
|
|
| >she gives you a confused look
"MAYBE"
| "I was only asking you because you called me that. I Don't mind though the concept feels odd to me. Where were you before all of this?"
