บท 122: Couch Surfing
"So let me get this straight... You left your place because your sis, that we saved, decided she likes Mr Rapey better and doesn't want to kill him...?" Rebecca says, a baffled look on her face as she sits on her bed.
He shrugs, "Sounds about right." he grumbles, sighing to himself. "I don't get what's going through her head."
"His dick, probably..." she chuckles nervously as he glares at her, "Sorry, too soon..."
"Very." he dryly responds.
"Well, the way I see it, you've got three options from here on out. First is to just ignore her, let her decision bite her in the ass. Second is to kill that schmuck and make it up to her when she starts hating you..."
"And third?"
"Wait and see what happens, who knows, maybe her boyfriend actually changed? 'Slong as he doesn't kill her, you can always say 'I told you so' when yo rescue her again." she grins.
...
"What would you do if this was your brother in this situation?"
"Him?" she snickers, "I pity the insane chick that finds him attractive enough to attack."
"Imagine he was a girl for a minute..."
"Hmm... I'm not sure. Not much I could do, thinking about it. He-she's has his-her life, they can make their own decisions, even shitty ones. If you care enough you can pick up the pieces once the dust settles."
"Yeah... I guess you're right." he reluctantly admits.
"Don't get me wrong though, if this was Pilar I'd laugh at him the entire time, douchebag." she laughs.
"Fuck off!" Pilar shouts from behind the barrier halving the room. "You're lucky I'm letting that asshole stay here, talking shit about me is fine, but you're out the moment you two start fucking!"
"See? Complete douchebag." Rebecca smirks.
"I'm not gonna talk shit about him now that he's not being an asshole for once." Ori shakes his head, "So, about this date..."
"I'm guessing you got nothin' planned. Your sister being an idiot and all."
He nods, "Any ideas?"
"Well, we can go window shopping for apartments. I kinda feel like dancing too, maybe some drinking..."
"You just wanna go to a nightclub, don't you..." Ori drawls, knowing her well enough at this point.
"No-duh!"
"Fine, once we're done looking at places we'll head down to a club... Lizzie's Bar ain't an option, I'm guessing?"
"Obviously, I can't relax at that place, if it ain't Susie tryin'a crawl up my ass it's someone else I accidentally maimed!"
"Sure, 'Accidentally'."
"Not you too!"
-----------------------
Ori and Rebecca proceed to stroll through the main street of Kabuki, looking at various real estate offices. Unfortunately, the couple in that sub-district only had access to crappy ones on the border of Maelstrom territory, definitely not somewhere Ori or Rebecca wanted.
They then drove to Little China, the bustling area providing far more options. Since the area was generally not under anyone's control due to the presence of the NCPD headquarters, it was far 'friendlier' than most other places. That didn't mean you could let your guard down however, as Ori and Bats had learned last time they were there.
"Hey, check it a place on the fifth floor in H10, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, big enough-looking main." Rebecca points out as she spots it through the scrolling advert board.
"I'm not too keen on staying in a Megabuilding..." he admits.
"Why not? It'd probably be safer than where you were staying. Those place's have to have security with how many people live there."
"Security is half the reason. I don't want to get stopped coming home covered in blood... Plus, they'd have to ID my car if I wanted to keep it parked there." he retorts.
She snorts, "You do know there are ways around that, right? Pay the guys manning the cams some Eddies every month and they'll leave you alone. No questions asked."
"Where'd you hear that?"
Rebecca shrugs, "Lotsa places, Mox girls aren't exactly rich enough to get a nice place outside a Megabuilding. They are, after all, basically multistory slums."
"How much then... Bats and I were paying three thousand a month."
"Two thousand, not bad considering it's around the same size as your last place."
"Hm... Alright, count me interested."
"Alright! There, I've got the detes, now let's party!" she exclaims.
"You know I'm trash at dancing right." he says as she drags him along, presumably to her favourite club. He could dance, and if he wanted to the nanites could help him with it as they did fighting, but that kinda seemed like a waste...
"You can always learn!" she dismisses.
----------------------
"Is this a gay bar...?" Ori quietly asks her as they step into the brightly coloured club, pounding music that sent shudders through his entire body, as if he'd been placed inside a giant vibrator...
"Eh? Maybe? Alls I know is they got the best drinks! The music ain't too bad either!" she shouts over the music.
"It's called 'Alternative Pride'... There's a fucking guy in a thong dancing in cage up there!"
"So what? It's not like you're here to pick up girls, why would you care? We're here together, so unless you got something against the benders, get over yourself." she states, dragging him to the bar. Obviously, he had no reasonable argument to dispute her...
After they get some drinks in them, the duo join the others on the floor, Ori's awkward dancing didn't really matter in the face of all the grinding Rebecca was doing against him. No one cared about how his arms were moving when his hands were caressing her thighs after all.
There were a couple incidents where some guys tried to grab Ori's ass, but a stern talking to(Translated, being cussed out), set things 'straight'. With that, the night continued on great... Almost...
It was an hour past midnight when Ori and Rebecca were beginning to settle down, the alcohol making them far more tired and frisky than usual. They'd been resting in a nearby booth when someone approached...

บท 123: Encounter
"Excuse me?"
"What're you even drinking?" Ori questions, pointing at Rebecca's bright pink cocktail.
"They call it the 'Night City Prolapse'."
"Excuse me!?"
"That sounds absolutely disgusting..." Ori says, making a face. Of course they'd serve something called that in this place.
"Hey, don't knock it 'til you try it." she says, pushing her straw towards him.
"I'm hoping you mean the drink..." he jokes, sipping it.
"Excuse me!!?"
He smacks his lips a couple times, "Strawberry?"
"Strawberry schnapps with cream and a dash of wine... Or so they said."
"Still, that na-"
"EXCUSE ME!!??!" the man standing beside their table shouts, finally losing his patience at being ignored.
The duo just turn to look at him, sending wary glances his way. "Yeah? We're not deaf you know!" Rebecca questions, causing a vein to throb on the man's forehead.
"Then, since you clearly have ears. I am sad to say you both have to leave. Immediately." the colourfully dressed man says.
"What!? Why!?" Rebecca exclaims, pretty tipsy from the night of revelry.
The man glances around surreptitiously, "Because, we've had some people asking for you both. Judging by their equipment, I would rather not have another death in my establishment."
Ori scowls at that, but Rebecca twists her expression and smiles at the man, "Aw, you care if we die? Am I your favourite customer...?"
"No." the man deadpans, "Now please leave."
"Alright, but first, could you point out our 'friends'?" Ori asks, the nanites quickly helping him sober up at the approaching threat.
"They have made their way to the second floor, I will not point them out in order to preserve the current state of the building. Please, leave..."
"Fine! But only because I like you... Guy." Rebecca relents, finishing her drink and standing, stumbling slightly before grabbing Ori to keep herself upright.
"Thank you. If you do manage to return, I will waive your current tab as an apology... If you wouldn't mind, please exit through the back door..." the man states.
Ori and Rebecca follow the guy to the door, stepping out into the now dark, raining back alley. Rebecca rested her weight on his shoulder as he inconspicuously grips the revolver hidden in a holster.
"Any idea who's looking for us?" he asks his companion.
Rebecca shrugs, "Nope. Probably some bozo looking for revenge, wouldn't be a first."
"Happen to you before?"
"Yeeeah... Some guy hired me to stalk and protect his girl, turned out she was getting some dick on the side. Told the guy and he didn't believe me, refused to pay and everything so I told his bitch what he had me do."
"And?" Ori asks as they walk through the alleyway.
"She dumped his ass, guy came crying to me threatening to break my legs if I didn't take what I said back, as if that would fix it!" she laughs to herself.
"Did he... Survive..?"
"Probably? I only capped his knees."
"With Guts?"
"With Guts."
"Shiiit..." Ori mutters, kind of feeling sorry for the legless guy somewhere out there.
He calls his car to automatically drive to their location as they step onto the street, only to pause when he spots a group of four people walking down the road towards them. They weren't regular folks obviously, each had a weapon already unholstered, and bits of armour here and there.
"Hey, SUSAN." he loudly names Rebecca, attempting to push her in the opposite direction, "Let's go see if that PACIFICIST club is still open!"
"The fuck is Susan...? You cheating on me?" Rebecca groans, pursing her lips as he glares at her, "Oh, you were trying-, my bad..."
"HEY! STOP BOTH OF YOU!" a woman steps ahead of the mercenary group, rifle in hand.
"Er, sorry! We don't want to buy anything!" Ori says with an awkward laugh.
"OI! SHE SAID STOP!-"
*BANG!*
A bullet kicks up dust next to Ori's foot, causing him to cease his movement. "YOU REALLY JUST SHOOT AT MY MAN!? YOU TRYIN'A DIE!?" Rebecca angrily shouts, attempting to reach for her own hidden pistol, but Ori stops her, not wanting to start a gunfight like this.
They were at the disadvantage. They didn't have their favoured weapons, he didn't have his grappling hook armguard, and Rebecca was pretty drunk as it is...
"Alright, what do you want?" Ori questions as the group stop a good distance away. The lampost above them flickers, and rain continues to fall...
"We're asking the questions here, boy." the woman states.
"How about an exchange then? You ask one, I ask one?"
"Are you deaf or some-"
"No, this is fine. I'll go first though." the woman says, lowering her rifle slightly. "What are your names?"
"Michael, Michael Afton. And she's Anja Gaul." Ori offers.
"This ain't gonna work if you wanna bullshit us, Zombie." she growls.
"Why ask if you already know me?" he retorts.
"So you admit it, you are 'Zombie'?" one of the woman's men questions.
He shrugs, "Sure. My questions now-"
"Sorry, but we've learned all we need." the woman grins maliciously as she raises her rifle, the others mimicking her.
*Bangbangbangbang!*
Rebecca opens fire before everyone however, pushing Ori away and throwing herself to the side as she does so. Some bullets ricochet off of one of the larger man's Cybernetic arms, but the rest pepper some non-vital areas.
Ori uses the momentum Rebecca had granted him, rolling as he draws Six's revolver.
*BANG!*
He aims at the woman, but one of her men pushes her behind him, taking a .50 cal bullet the chest which forces him to the ground, not only from the force but also because his heart had essentially exploded.
"FUCKERS! LIGHT EM UP!!" the woman roared, opening fire on Ori.
*Dagadagadagadaga!*
He grimaces as he blocks his face, bullets penetrating the skin on his arm, stomach, and chest. The nanites turn his pain receptors off, allowing him to fire back with optimal accuracy. Unfortunately, one of her other men also joins in.
