(Setting) Audrey's Bar!
| >A few minutes later, the high pitched rev of a sports bike can be heard outside. It idles for a second before being shut off, and it takes a couple seconds more before the rider walks Audrey's Bar.
>They are tall-ish (5'10") with short, silver hair. They have on a black jacket with red highlights, as well as some light pants. Her jacket has a badge stitched into the shoulder, marking this individual as a freelance courier. her helmet is tucked under her arm.
| > She walks up to the bar and sits down at a bar stool. She places her helmet on the stool beside her and looks at a menu for drinks.
| "H-Hi miss..."
>They both marvel at her for a second. The woman has long black hair. Uncombed, messy and other looks fluffy! She has a hair and on the top of her head and bangs under her eyes.
"Anything peaking your interest?"
>The man says in a rather deep voice tapping the counter.
| >A muffled "poppoppop," like distant fireworks, and a sound like ice dumped onto the street, echoes through the bar. The door swings open. A catgirl stumbles in, in tattered synthleather cloak pulled tight around her, obscuring her body and face.
>Casually she opens her coat and pulls it away from her face. She bites her lip, baring her sharp teeth. She isn't wearing much underneath except the top half of a torn sooty t-shirt, a ragged black miniskirt.
...
| >>378879
>Bandages and slap-patches cover most of her exposed skin.
>She slumps towards the bar, dragging the scent of ashes and burnt grease along with her. She speaks softly to the bartender:
"I'd liiike... a pretty pink drink with a cute little umbrella and a little sword through a cherry and a peel of fruit and confetti and glitter and enough karmotrine to make it all seem like a good idea."
| >A person walk through the door and sit down at the bar,He is wearing a black hoodie and a dark grey ballistic mask with a light grey lens
>He take off his mask and pull back his hoodie, revealing a man with raven black hair
"I would like any kind of wine,if you have any"
| >He talk in a light american accent
>He take out his headphone,painted in neon blue and black, and put it on
| >He take out a mobile phone from his pocket in his pants and press something on its screen to make it play musics
| >He take his duffle bag from his bag and take a portable crafying kit from it
>He take a few components from the duffle bag and start crafting
>In half an hour he craft out a sound suppressor and try attaching it to his FN Five-seveN, painted in a matching color as his headphone
| >The door seemingly opens by itself, some cloaked footsteps step into the room,
"Ah... Oops!"
>A tall woman uncloaks, taking a look aroun
"Mhm~ Babe was right, there sure is a lot of cuties..."
>She then proceeds to take out a camera, and take photos
| "I-I uhh... "
>The female steps back a little bit and quickly runs into the back office... Soon another female returns with long red hair with streaks running down.
"Oh my..."
>She mutters and quickly takes her place... Making a cute little drink while the man quickly gets a shot of whiskey.
"Here you go miss... One pink fairy!"
>She continues to work on the other drinks.
| >>379101
"Umm... Sir? You can't have guns in here... Otherwise I'll kick your ass out..."
>The red hair female grunts putting her arms against her chest.
| >Impulse put his gun and the other stuff back in his duffle bag
"Pardon my rudeness ma'am, I'm new here. The name's Impulse"
| "Well just watch it..."
>She mutters and pours him some wine.
| "Thank you"
>Impulse said before he take a sip from his glass
"This place look...polished, better than the bars I've visited before"
| >Impulse said as he look around the bar
| >The woman stops taking pictures for a few moments, looking at the new bartender and smirking
"May i ask for a name, cutie?"
| "Audrey..."
>She says tilting her brow.
"And you better watch it on calling me cutie..."
| >>379173
"Hm? Why? A cutie is a cutie, are you taken or something?"
>The woman says, tilting her head
"Ah, i'm Dahk by the way, pleased to meet you Audrey!"
| >>379143 >>378882
>As the silver haired courier waits for her drink, she glances over at the catboomer who just ordered. She does a double take, and the expression on her face changes from curiosity to genuine concern.
>She gets up out of her seat and walks over to the boomer, lightly grabbing her shoulder
"Hey... Yeesha? You arn't looking so hot..." >She says almost timidly
| >Jack walked over to the actual bar area and sat down. He looked for a server.
| >>379243
"No...I just don't like being called cute..."
>Meanwhile the man is quickly fixing people's drinks...
"What ya need cutie?"
>The man says to Jack.
| >The door to the bar opens, but no one enters. There's a sound of an umbrella closing, then some shuffling sounds.
>After a while, a catboomer steps in. Strangely, she only has 1 ear, the other one is missing. Her T-shirt and her skirt sticks to her wetly, water dripping down, creating a puddle wherever she walks.
>She quietly looks around the bar, then goes inside the restroom area.
| >>379274
>Dahk giggles, and quips jokingly
"Okay fine... Sexy!"
>She hums, before briefly noticing the catboomer
"Hum... Is that?"
>She, nonchalantly, follows the catboomer into the restroom
| >>379274
"Information. Do you know anypne by the name of Impulse? I was supposed to meet him an hour ago or so but I was running late."
>Jack sighs.
"I'd order a drink too, but I'm broke."
| >Jack got up and walked over to the hooded fellow. He sat next him.
"Hey, heard you had work for me."
>>379153
| >>379353
>Dahk sticks her head out from around the corner
"Mmm~ That isn't runa is it? Goodness it's been so long... Still, she *is* pretty cute..."
| >Hopping off her motorbike outside and taking a minute to appreciate the other bike parked nearby, Angus shoves the doors to the bar open.
"Hello! Tall girl, calls people cute all the time, her name's Dahk. Is she here?"
>Angus brushes her wet hair out of her face. Eyeing the silver haired girl, she seemed kind of familiar. Probably a coincidence.
"Oh and a tall piledriver please. Two of them."
>She says with a smile.
| "Hm....I'll come back here when you're not dead to the world."
>Jack walked back to the bar and sat back down.
"Hey bartender, can I start a tab and pay up when I have money?"
| >>379443
>The catgirl still sits there to dry her hair, but she now knows that someone's there.
"Dahhhhhkkkkk, I can hear you from over here, you know?"
>She looks at Dahk cautiously, and her hands move to cover up her skirt, just in case.
| >>379462
>Her hands meet... something, which turns out to be Dahk's cloaked face, who uncloaks
"Darn.. and i was so close to getting an upskirt of the beautiful Runa..."
| >>379469
>Runa jumps up in surprise as Dahk uncloaks, her face turns red in embarrassment
"W-where did you come from? I thought you are from over there- huh?"
>She points at the corner, but Dahk isn't there anymore.
"What the- A-anyways, I'm not that beautiful, okay?"
>Unsure what to say next, she's looking around nervously, her ear twitches every now and then...
| "Hm trade secret!"
>She bounces on her toes happilu,
"Hm... we still need to go on that meet up, so why not do it now? To be honest i don't know too much about you, so why don't we have a chat honeybuns?
>She smiles, but suddenly gives a slightly lewd look
Oh, and if you wanna dry your hair, i hear some steaming hot sex is a good way to dry off... Just kidding, of coursE!"
| >Impulse take out quite a large package and hand it to Jack
"In here is a fully moded AKM,5 loaded magazine and half the pay we agreed.You will get the other half when you got me the bluepints, Ive already sent you the location"
>Impulse go back to take another sip from his glass
| >>379483
>Runa backs up slowly, her face even more red than before
"Ah, uh... yeah... I-I-"
>Seems like Dahk has put her in stutter mode. Also, for some reason, her hair dries out quicker than before. Perhaps the distraction made it dry faster?
"L-let's go outside! It's hot all of the sudden!"
>She takes a really deep breath to calm herself down, then walks outside the restroom and to the bar.
| "Dont take the gun out in here, its not allowed in here.Also,be careful.I heard there are some thugs running drug dealing there"
>Impulse finished his drink
"Miss bartender?, Can I have another glass please?"
| >>379516
>Jacks eyes widened. He had never seen a more neat looking gun.
"Alright boss. Anything else I should know about before rolling out?"
| >>379492
"Whatever you say, sweetie~"
>Dahk smiles, Stuttering Runa was just *so* cute... She walks her to one of the bar
"So... where do you wanna start? Or should we get some drinks to calm your nerves and loosen those cute lips of yours..."
| >>379529 (shit error didn't read the whole message)
(Edit) >Jacks eyes widened, he forgot the job has said he'd be getting a gun
| (id keeps resetting for some reason)
>>379533
>Runa follows behind Dahk this time, her purple eyes darting around the bar and its visitors.
"U-um... Any drink would be fine... I feel bad for making you pay for it though..."
| "Nothing more, You can roll out"
-Impulse
| >>379556
"Hmmm Maybe a couple of fring weavers to get you nice and loose? Cmon, we're supposed tonget and know eachother! You must have a perfered drink... My special!"
>She turns briefly to one of the bartenders
"Ah! A big beer please~"
| >>379565
"Gotcha..."
>The man quickly pours up a big IPA and hands it to her.
>>379453
"Alrighty..."
>The bartender quickly pours up two Piledrivers. Then she sighs and calls out rather loudly.
"MAGGIE COME OUT YOU HAVE TO HELP!"
>So comes out the poor Maggie standing behind the counter.
| "Mister Bartender? Can I have another glass of wine please?"
-Impulse
| >>379580
"Hm.. Fine fine... Maybe another beer? But then again, this one is awfully big... maybe we could share it and have some indirect kisses?"
>She laughs, motioning over to the bartender for another beer
"So then my little one eared kitty, work on anything... interesting as of late? Or are you still laying low after... the Panty incident?"
| >>379587
"Yes, yes..."
>He mutters handing over another glass... Meanwhile Audrey parks her head up.
"The Panty incident?"
>She says intrigued.
| >>379604
>The catgurl smiles at Dahk, apparently she's getting used to how Dahk talks at this point, or the alcohol.
"I wasn't the one that got much attention, so things are going fine, I guess... Besides, I haven't gone out for a long time so that helps."
>She then looks at Audrey with a shamed look
"D-don't make me talk about it."
| "Come onnnn!"
>She says enthusiastically.
| >>379247
>Yss turns her head, eyes downcast.
"Ever since the crash I have been looking for-"
>She bites her own tongue as she glances up. She squeezes her eyes shut for a moment.
"Hrghblefl?? It can't..."
>She stands and examines the girl's arm. She traces a scar with her finger.
"AZUN??"
>She leaps and embraces her love, squealing with joy, wrapping her cloak around her. She kisses Azun on the lips, on the neck, and sobs.
"I missed you like a blind drunk with a slingshot!"
| "Thanks"
>Impulse take another drink from his glass while looking at the stuff thats going on around him
| >>379577
"Tall, pervy, name's Dahk? Did she come in here? She's all over the damn place..."
>Angus takes a huge swig of the piledriver and glances around the bar looking for Dahk.
| "Yes but I have no idea where she is..."
>The tender shrugs.
| >>379586 >Jack, from the weapons factory, sent a message to Impulse. "It's done, but I'm dying over here. Took a few shots. Meet me here and I'll give you the blueprints."
| >Impulse left a few zenny on the bar stool.He put on his mask and hood, then walk out of the bar
| >>379662
>Yss brushes Azun's hair with her fingers.
"When the Matrix crashed I lost a lot of my contacts and you... I couldn't..."
>Tears spill onto her cheeks.
"I stayed up all night thinking about you staying up all night thinking about me..."
>She lifts her head, taking a deep breath:
"BARTENDER, WHERE IS MY FRAGGIN DRINK?"
| "H-Huh? W-What do you need?"
>She blushes nervously.
| >Jack walks back to the bar and sits down at the counter. He waits for a server since it seems they are preoccupied with whatever.
| >>379707
"A colorful drink wiiiith..."
>She seems to be reciting something:
"A cute little umbrella and a little sword through a cherry and a peel of fruit and confetti and glitter. And karmotrine."
>She turns to Azun.
"Want one too, Az?"
| "aahhh Pink Fairy huh?"
>She quickly whips up the drink.
"And sir do you need something?"
| >>379713
>Shock is the immediate emmotion on Asun's face as the boomer leaps onto her, but that quickly subsides into relief. She listens to the little cat rant with a small smile
"Nah, I'm good. I'm still waiting on my drink"
| >>379726
>Yss sips her drink.
"Glitch City glitched itself. You know that blog trog on the Matrix calling himself Thoth? Turns out he's even worse in person! There are brainwashed clowns in masks going around melting lilims in his name, starting riots and drek. Where were you??"
| >Impulse walk back in and go sit on the same place.He take off his ballistic mask and start sipping wine from the same cup he left
"Yep, still good"
| >Impulse take out the same headphone and his mobile phone to listen to the music and start humming to the song
| "Mr.Bartender?Is it fine to craft stuff here, I promise it wont be a mess"
-Impulse
| >>379758 >Jack looks over at Impulse.
"Ey! Impulse my guy, how's that blueprint working out for you?"
| "And bartender, when will I be getting my Fluffy Dream?"
>Jack chills in his seat
| >>379747
"Out of town. some high paying clientelle came in, special delivery... It took me awhile getting back. I tried to let you know, but the crash must have prevented that."
| >Impulse turn to Jack and pull back his hood
"Oh, hey how's your wounds doing. Have you seen the doctor yet? "
| >>379781 >Jack shook his head
"Nah, I'll head by there later. A few bullets won't mess up much. But otherwise the wounds are fine, forgot I even had them."
| "Or was it something bigger"
-Impulse
| >>379802 "Y'know, I'm not too sure. Whatever those robots were packing and some handguns the drug dealers had."
>Jack sits for a moment, deep in thought, then suddenly remembers something.
"Hey! I just remembered I stole the gang boss's gun. Here,"
>He passes over the gun to Impulse
"What caliber is this, if you know?"
| (What gun is it LOL,how am I supposed to know the caliber if I dont know which gun is it) >>379820
| (Yeah Im supposing the gun myself then)
>Impulse take the gun,the M1911
"M1911,popular for people with taste for pre-WW2 gangster. Its in. 45ACP"
| "Its quite a good gun,very reliable and .45 ACP hits hard,really hard"
| "Damn, so I should get that shit removed ASAP?"
| "Probably, Im surprised you didnt bleed to death"
| "My wine is almost gone too"
-Impulses
| >>379874 "Damn. Welp, maybe the bartender will be by soon. Why do you only drink wine though? Ive noticed that's the only thing you order."
| "Hey bartender, can I finally get my Fluffy Dream?"
| >Impulse take the glass of wine, smell the wine a little bit and take a sip from the glass
"Hmm,Red wine..."
| "It taste quite unique, is there anything special in this?"
-Impulse
| >>379623
"Hm? A cutie like you should head out more often! That way we can run into eachother~"
>She laughs
"Although, i haven't headed outside myself in a while, trying to get back into the swing of stalking you know?"
>>379632
>Dahk turns towards her and smiles
"Oh you know, she just made an panty Ai that would go out and steal other people's panties and convert them. Ended up becoming sentient along the way!"
>>379671
>Upon hearing her name, Dahk flinches
"Ah... its my wife."
| "Erm,Mister Bartender amd Miss Bartender,Is it fine to craft stuff in here?I promise it wont be a mess."
-Impulse
| >>380019
"No...."
>Audrey says rather bluntly...
"Come on Audrey... Jus-"
>WACK! The guy gets a swift hit on the head!
| "Okay, Im not causing any trouble"
-Impulse
| >>379983
Well that explains where my panties went... Me and Mags lost a whole drawer full! I had to go commando while buying new underwear!"
| (Wait was the guy supposed to be me)
| >Impulse finish his wine and pay for the wine then left
|
| >>379983
"I-it's not my fault! D-dahk was involved too!"
>The one-eared catboomer shakes her head profusely and downs another drink.
"I-it's just an accident, after all... right?"
>Runa tries to change the topic quickly
"A-anyways, I think your wife is looking for you. Sometimes I wonder how you even have one."
|
| >>380096
"Shh... I'm here to talk to this cutie, don't try to weasel your way out of this frienddate!"
>she giggles and then gives her a drunk pet
"Hm.. How'd you lose the other ear anyway? horrible accident or something?"
| >>380365
>She giggles at the pet, but freezes upon the mention of her other ear. She's drunk, but she's not drunk enough yet.
"I- yeah... You can call it an accident, yeah. I was there, with--"
>Not feeling comfortable about remembering, she looks away. Tears well up in her eyes, but she quickly wipes them away.
"It was surely an accident, but it's far in the past now. What I thought didn't happen, happened anyways."
| >>380389
>Dahk gives a somber sigh and smiles at her, giving her more pets.
"I get what you mean, I diddn't mean to bring up bad memories"
>She gives her artificial arm and leg a good pat
"Lost these girls in that Tungsten rod attack a few months back, still havn't quite gotten used to them"
| >>380390
"Thanks. I really need it."
>She nods at the artificial limbs that Dahk has
"I remember the tungsten rods... You were trying to save Marie, weren't you. That must sucks, getting it replaced. Compared to that, I just had a concussion."
>She looks at the now-empty glass.
"What happened with my ears... it's my fault completely, unlike those rods. It serves as a grim reminder for me, and it pains me just to think about it."
| >>380415
>She gives her even more head pats, getting her another beer
"Well, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it too much, we all make mistakes. And personally i think it adds to your cuteness!"
>She takes a deep breath
"So... What do you do for a living anyway? seeing as you're a shut in i expect something amazing!"
| >>380436
>She takes the beer happily
"No, I don't do anything great. All day I just crunch numbers and research, and read papers. It's boring."
"What about you, Dahk? What do you do? You can't be a full-time pervert, can you."
| >A large figure enters the building, a mass of metal and gears that could only be described as a set of power armor, covered in scribbles written in yellow paint, 'Ever tried to fuck a brick?' 'Murphy's law?' 'Ahahahaha!' are some notable exemple of the sort of things written, the whole set is completed by a mask with three glowing red stripes and a greatsword that looks more like a slab of iron than anything else
"Yo fellas, you got whiskey?"
>A gruff modified voice asks
| >>380702
"Hm? research for what? any super secret project i should prepare myself for?
>She giggles
"Well, maybe not a pervert, but stalking is a pretty good job, though i haven't been doing it professionally in a while. they're's always someone looking to get info on someone or geek another one..."
| >>380826
"Well thank god, its been a while since I got whiskey, twas a bloody mess I was stuck in lately"
>He laughs boisterously, with a slap on his knee
"I'm glad to find a nice watering hole after all that"
>He says before taking the glass and raising it up, his mask opening just a single slit for him to drink
"Ahhh, now that's the stuff lady, I'll have an' otha'"
| >>380770
"Ah, my research... well, it's nothing important, but I'm getting a lot of results! Soon I will able to take back what I lost!"
>Runa seems to be happy about her mysterious research. She takes a sip of the beer, but nothing more, leaving the glass almost completely full.
"I'm feeling quite tipsy right now, I think I'm good with the beer, as I have stuff to do after this. And Dahk..."
>She takes a deep breath
"I didn't bring my credstick."
| >>380975
"Why the long face lady?"
>The man in the powersuit asks, taking his second glass
"Come on now, tell the Ol' Falschen all about it"
>Falschen says while spreading his arms
| "Nothing just a loud day of work that's all..."
>She give a small shrug.
| >>380952
"Hm? It's fine! I already said i was going to cover for you..."
>Dahk says, a little red in the face
"Maybe after you can tell me a little more about your research after you get your results!"
>She places a credstick on the counter, and give Runa more head scritches
| >>381366
>Falschen turns to the side after hearing something about a loud day, quickly noticing Dahk
"Oh, now I see why you would say loud! hey Dahky, how's life!"
>He turns to Dahk and waves his hand in a large gesture while laughing
| >Hearing Falschen's voice she turns around and waves back
"Hii Falfal! Life's doing just fine! Lot's of wet cuties in the rain.
>She makes a heart with her hands and asks back
"How have you been?!"
| >>381425
"Oh you know, the usual, my house got fucked by tungsten rods"
>He does an exagerated shrug
"Other than that I've been going around, new appartement and all that, also transferred my daughter to a closer school"
| >>381426
"Ah i see, Atleast nobody was hurt in it! Is your kid alright? Musta been traumatizing, having that happen. Maybe i could check in on her personally? Just kidding! I know you'd kick my ass if i even tried flirting with her"
| "I'm not sure yer into 8 year old Dahky"
>Falschen says with a hint of a joking tone
"But yeah anyone touch her and I'll show them to the chopping block"
>Thats one serious voice
| "Ah, she's 8? Yep! outside my age range"
>She sighs
"Man... now i wish i had a kid of my own..."
| >>381436
"Why dont you just adopt one?"
>Falschen asks
"Only God knows how many kids need help in this shithole"
| >>381450
"Eh... I'll have to talk to the wifey about it, but thanks for the suggestion falfal! Wonder where one would go about adopting a kid..."
| "I wonder what they will grow up to be..."
>Runa closes her eyes, thinking deeply
"Kids, huh..."
| >>381456
>Falschen turns to Runa
"Kids are great fella, they put a lil' life in the daily grind"
>He brings up a small photograph, to even use printing in this day and age, thats old-school
>The photo is of a cute girl in an orange rain coat wearing, she has long blue hair and a smile on her face
"Look at how cute this daughter of mine is, dont you feel the life flowing back into you?"
| "Yeah kids are pretty great..."
>Graham says entering the bar... The bartender stops rather shocked for some reason.
"But they're shits to raise..."
| >>381549
"That depends on the parents fella"
>Falschen says with a laugh
"But yeah, they're a handful"
| >Dahk Pokes runa on the shoulder
"Hm? is the cute runa thinking about having some cute babies someday?"
| >>381588
"No! I-i'm not planning on having any!"
>Runa exclaimed out loud, her face flushed with embarassment. She quickly downs the drink, despite refusing it earlier
"I-I don't feel so good... freaking alcohol."
| >>381930
>Dahk laughs and gives her a rub on the back
"There there darling... If you wanna lay down on my lap and take a nap, i'm up for it!"
>She muses to herself
"Well, personally i think you'd be an adorable mom..."
| >>382395
>Runa smiles at Dahk yet again, but shakes her head slowly, her gaze turns to the floor
"Thanks, but I don't really think I will make a good mom... I have messed up."
>She checks her phone, then stands up and prepares to leave
"Thanks for the company Dahk, I have work to do and I ran out of time... I hope we meet again or something, right?"
>She takes a light bow, then heads for the door to leave
"Any last minute things to tell me? By the way, thanks for covering for me."
| >>382850
"No problem!"
>She smiles and sighs
"Don't let whatever happened eat you up too much alright? Nothing productive comes out of beating yourself up over the past y'know?
Ah well, bye Cutie."

| >A shitty little bar sits near the corner of a street with a nice little neon sign displaying Audrey's Bar in a bright purple hue. Inside sits Audrey... Sipping on some water while cleaning glasses next to a rather small guy flipping through a recipe book... His long hair is tied up into a bun while next to him is a girl in a jacket over her uniform. She quickly hits the man apron the head.
"HEY GET TO WORK!"
>The man jumps up rubbing his head.
"Ow... There's no one here!"
