| > A bar situated in the middle of the Motor District. A favorite place for the occasional runner and the bikers who race on the streets. Even though it's not BTC-certified, BTC drinks flow freely thanks to bribes and fear from any outside intruders in a space meant for the lawless. The Bar always seems empty but people are always in the booths, planning and exchanging anything worth money.

| > The bartenders worked mechanically, perpetually absorbed in what they were doing to make sure that they always had the ingredients, even if they were ill-gotten. Most bikers didn't even care, just because they had their own things to do that didn't require attention. It was one of the few true neutral zones where any gang can relax and even set up parlays if needed. A gods-send among the streets of GC, which are always few and farbetween

| > Fox had just wrapped up a delivery to the place, an assortment of various ingredients that he had to pick up from the docks. He knew the place well enough and decided that it would be the night to get a drink to wrap up a job well done.
"I'll just have a Brandtini, thanks"
> The bartender simply nods and tosses one in his direction.
> Fox takes it and settles at the bar, stretching out and opening up all the ports on his arms to really relax.

| >There's a soft breath from Adelaide, and she enters. It was strangely normal for a bar- and the fact that she didn't get to visit the Motor District often made her form a slightly better opinion of it- 'course, she was still armed. She was fairly certain everyone was, but her SMG being in her bag should keep too much trouble from rising about it. She sat at the bar near the other Lilim, and ordered.
"Sunshine Cloud."

((I'll also do the nameless bartender))
> The man grunts and quickly prepares it. The glass doesn't look quite right but the drink does.

| >>336589
>There's a smile as she takes it, before looking towards the other lilim. A sip of the drink and-
"Are you Unit Double Zero?"
>She's not entirely sure- maybe his name was like hers, how you said it said something about you. But onto appearance, since I missed that in post one.
>Her hair, a glorious pastel red is currently loose, and hanging freely. Her outfit is simple, yet functional. Jeans, tee shirt, messenger bag. A trained eye could see that she was illegally modded-

| >- Her skin tone on one arm was slightly mismatched, and one green eye was brighter than the other- something was in her arm, and her eye could do more than see.

| >>336595
> Fox flashed a huge smile and a laugh
"Yep, Ayanami Fox, at your service. Or just Fox, that works too. Nice to finally meet you."
> Fox threw his credstick on the counter and motioned to the bartender that he was getting her drink.
" So you really do want to help us out with setting up some safehouses?"

| >She nodded, and was tempted to stop him from paying. But she wasn't one to turn down a drink.
"I'm more interested in living there- It's not like I couldn't take on those thoth creeps but, I'd rather not-"
>A glance to his wrist.
"Hey- I've saw you mod that-"
>She smiles brightly, easily excited. Meeting people from /u/ was always fun- especially when things connected to past events.

| >>336612
> Fox's grey skinned turned a dark shade of steel. He laughed nervously, showed off his arm. The hand and wrist unit were definitely from the custom arm, but the remainder was some other model.
"I remember that stream! I can't believe I didn't have any problems with it. It turned out to have the right specs for a project that I had planned."
> Fox got more comfortable and motioned for a drink refill.

| >Adelaide giggles softly, and flexes her modded arm. "You inspired me to replace mine- Though I can't tell you where I got it."
>Another sip of the Sunshine Cloud, and an innocent smile. A rare case of an actually decent person.

| >>336623
"Self protection is always good. My old caretaker always said that we have a right to keep ourselves safe even if it makes others uncomfortable."
> Fox flashes an honest smile back and takes a sip from his new brandtini. He runs a quick scan on her arm to see what it could be modded with but he couldn't quite tell, other than it wasn't stock

| >It's custom made, likely one of a kind. It features a high quality pneumatic system, allowing for a higher strength than the base arm. In addition, it features a higher sensitivity, and seems vastly more responsive than any stock arm.
"I'm hardly ever unarmed." >she replies, taking another drink of her beverage.

| >>336631
"Well, of course you're hardly ever unarmed. It's a little hard to really do anything without at least one on!"
> Fox pulls a really lame face to show that he purposefully wanted to have a really bad joke to say.
" But keeping a piece is always a way to ensure safety in this place. At least that's what the Bikers have told me. I can't imagine what this place would be like without them around to keep the peace better than the cops ever could."

| >She nods, finishing off her drink.
"Yeah- I don't spend much time here. Past job gone sour." >There's a moment of silence from her- for her comrade, and then she smiles again.
"If you can get them to agree to house us Lilim- I'd approve." >Her pale complexion slightly blushes.

| >>336641
> Fox nods and has another drink. He shakes his head and accidentally opens up his upgrade port which has something slotted in. He quickly closes it and laughs it off.
"Well, the garage and building where I rent my little loft has agreed. I think the Psyker Motor Club is also in on the agreement to house some in a few of their garages. Plus, there is a courier service that is agreeing to use their warehouse for protection"

| >She smiles brightly.
"Then count me in- I can help defend, or anything really." >She's tempted to pull her guns out and ask when she starts but she's a bit more polite than that.

| >>336661
"Well...."
> Fox's voice trails off and he mumbles japanese to himself in too low a voice to understand. He snaps his fingers and the thumb and forefinger on his right hand glow a dull teal upon doing so.
"There's enough patrols and races around, but having some support inside just to help minor repairs and close quarters protection, but the last one seems unlikely. I'm not really meant for combat."

| >She nods- sorta understanding, sorta agreeing, before standing.
"I don't spend much time in this part of town- but. I'll see what I can do when I'm here?"

| "Sounds like a good idea. I don't know if Thoth is operating all the way out here, but I wouldn't be surprised if they would be lurking in the shadows. GC always has some new place for clowns to hide in to avoid getting geeked by an actual shadowrunner."
> Fox sighs, as if he was the kind to actually go out and deliver street-justice.

| "I'm not sure how deep you are, but runners are bad news. And when they- we, get riled up, it's worse news." >She traces a finger around the rim of her not-quite-right cup.
"Be careful."

| >>337069
> Fox goes pale and gulps his drink down hard. Even he feels his own facial temperature drop.
"I've been shot at by runners before. I just ran and didn't even know why they started firing at me. I'm happy with simply being a courier."

| >a man walks in
>he is wearing nothing of interest save a black zipper hoodie with orange outline and glasses
>you gotta admit the glasses somehow look strangely perfect on him
"umm a piano man please"

| >>337088
"Stay a courier- any deeper and you're likely to get geeked." >There's a smile, and she flips back to her happy side.
"But anyone who would shoot at you is crazy- you're adorable."

| >>337132
> The Bartender mumbles something inaudible and prepares the Piano Man. His hands move in a seeming blur and the drink is flung your way in no time.

| >>337367
"did you say something?"
>then the spectacle happens
>he looks in awe
"h-how did you do that!??!
That was nuts!

| >>337373
> The bartender raises an eyebrow, seemingly annoyed at having his flow broken.
"It's because I'm good at my job and I've done this longer than you've been around."
> He then turns his back on the bar and goes back to... whatever it was that he was doing with sorting around strange bottles.

| >>337346
> Fox blushes slightly at being complimented and then flashes a huge grin.
"Aw thank you! I think that the crew figured I was going to shoot at them first. That was quite an escape I had to pull from the slums of Glitz. But a memorable one, assuming my hard points are still anchored to the walls of the building."
