Short Snippets

Interesting....

Inspired by an rp book I saw recently and originally started out as a fantasy scene and immediately hit a hard Cyberpunk route after a heartbreaking continuation.

Enjoy 👇🏾

Sounds of a scuffle echoed out and around the walls of the alley as well as sounds of a feminine chuckles if the listener paid enough attention. Two heavily drunk men threw fists at one another harshly and repeatedly but unfortunately not accurately enough to land a finishing blow while the only audience, a younger girl with raven black her and mischievous red eyes, seemed more than a little amused watching the two of them brawl it out.

Any average passerby would look at her and assume nothing aside that she very likely wasn't meant to be out at this time of night, but she couldn't fool the eyes of the other member of the audience by those means. He could sense the magic of a very powerful undead wavering it's influence over her, enough so that anyone with magic would be quite wary of.

He lifted his hood slightly and watched as she seemed to have some effect on them, gazing on her red skin and clearly seeing through the shape shifting that tried to hide it as well as the full gold eyes. Each of the men quite willing to knock the other out and take his life if necessary but the boy did not wish to see the show she set up to its climax. "Hey, you! Demon-kin!" He called out as he leapt to the floor, slipping his hands in his pockets as his hood kept all of his face but his glowing white eyes in view. "Think we can talk a bit?"

Fantasy setting is a tad short but I'm running two variants and the story in my head takes a bit to develop.

Loud grunts and yells flew out of the alley as well as sounds of fighting and things being smashed which was enough incentive for anyone who'd been in Night City long enough to stay well away. Most people did but the fight between the 3 men and the lone woman did have one spectator whose eyes did not miss a single detail.

The contact lens on his eyes glowing a very bright blue as the heavily tattooed woman made ensured she made quite good use of her surroundings, making sure that the narrow passage didn't give them enough room to advance on her all at once, the hard stone walls giving her something to bash and shove them against and the various items an endless supply of weapons to level the playing field.

It ended with all three of them battered and bruised on the heaps of garbage while the victor ran her hand through her short white hair. As she checked herself for injuries and bruises, the young man leapt to the floor and landed on some rather loud sheet metal which more than likely drew her attention. "Calm down, it's all smiles and giggles here." He said as he held his hands up when her gaze shifted to him, the visible cybernetics in his eyes and left arm powered down to show that he wasn't there to continue where they left off. "I just wanna talk, maybe buy you a drink."

The second has a cyberpunk theme around it so lots of neon and cyborgs and violence and whatnot, an attempt to keep the same kinda story layout with different themes though the feel of the characters changed ever so slightly, can't be helped.

Hope you enjoy ✌🏾.
