Interlude SNO


    Junior watched Katherine walk out of her little room. As soon as the door was closed she flopped back and closed her eyes with a deep sigh. Being the responsible one sucked, so they were taking turns.


    At least they had Daniel to shove anything really awkward onto.


    She didn’t know how Lucy and Cat did it all those years. Not that she’d ever tell them that she was thankful. That was just asking to pump up Cat’s ego.


    She glanced around her room, then kicked a leg up onto her bed. It wasn’t a very big bed, and it wasn’t a very big room. Really, the ‘kid’ rooms (and it rankled that she was lumped in with them) were all kinda tiny. But they were also private rooms, so she wasn’t going to complain too much.


    Plus the internet was pretty good here.


    She closed her eyes and brought up her aug displays and opened up a familiar tab, her only source for current news.

    Hello!


    There’s a new Samurai out on the streets of New Montreal. I overheard some PMCs talking about her. She’s called Stray Cat (I think), and I think she’s currently working with another samurai (A nun with flamethrowers, couldn’t ID).


    I didn’t see her very much, so no pics, sorry.


    She’s a brunette, with pink highlights, pretty tall? 16-20yo. Black coat and some pink highlights. No clear theme, so I think she really is new. Can someone confirm?


    EDIT: Can confirm the name.


    EDIT 2: The samurai she was working with is Gomorrah

    New baby samurai!


    Plus a cat-themed one? Can someone get pics please?

    Are there any other cat-themed samurai around? Especially in NM? We wouldn’t want a catfight on our hands


    ? Mijasane (Do Not Bully)


    Replied Three Weeks Ago at 3:49PM


    Cats are cute. What’s her weapon gimmick? Is it guns? It should be guns!


    ? TheChubster

    Arcc</a> How dare you. I read that with mine own two eyeballs!


    Also, baby samurai! Smoll baby! Someone get a drone on them, I want to see them goof!

    What do we know about them other than the looks (Please, someone get a pic, this is 2057 FCOL!). Can someone ID the other samurai?


    There can’t be that many samurai in nun outfits that use flamethrowers. Like... no more than ten?


    ? B-Bunch (Moon Bunny Enthusiast)


    Replied Three Weeks Ago at 3:50PM


    I think I saw her! There were lots of explosions and fire.


    I bet that’s her speciality!


    Too bad it’s not hugs

    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.Replied Three Weeks Ago at 3:51PM


    OMG she’s got a partner samurai already! This will make shipping her soooo easy! Was she wearing orange and white with the pink? Is she the gay?


    ? Deathwatch


    Replied Three Weeks Ago at 3:52PM


    Is she actually cat-themed? Or is it just some affectation? We don’t need the furries screaming about cultural appropriation again.


    ? TheD’awwctor


    Replied Three Weeks Ago at 3:52PM


    @B-Bunch There’s no such thing as a hugging speciality. Or Cleaning. Stop trolling.

    If anyone needs a beta for their Stray Cat fanfic, my DMs are open!

    Junior read the page idly, skimming past weeks old conversations she’d read half a dozen times already as she searched for the Next button at the bottom. She skipped all the way to the last page.

    Stray Cat spotted again, this time leaving the Mall Downtown! Pics: <u>LINK</u> <u>LINK</u> <u>LINK</u>


    What’s she up to now?


    ? Keinan-M


    Replied Today at 2:21PM


    Wasting her time, probably. Why haven’t they just destroyed all the aliens already?


    ? Nigel


    Replied Today at 2:22PM


    Because that takes time? Did you see the explosion Stray Cat and her GF left in New Montreal? I’d rather they didn’t resort to that next to MY house, tyvm.


    ? LarsL


    Replied Today at 2:22PM


    Nvm all that, have you heard of the Kittens?


    ? Duskland


    Replied Today at 2:23PM


    Stray Cat’s orphans?


    ? TheStoryteller (Gay)


    Replied Today at 2:23PM


    Nuuu, LarsL is talking about Stray Cat’s army! She’s giving out samurai-tech-gear to people who’re volunteering to fight! There’s this (really kinda hot) dark-skinned beauty in charge and everything. I heard she kissed SC, so there’s a non-zero chance that this is a way for Stray Cat to recruit people into her lesbian harem!


    ? Vesperal


    Replied Today at 2:24PM


    I think you’re projecting


    ? アブリボン (Bzz)


    Replied Today at 2:24PM


    No way, samurai don’t hand out their gear like that. Not unless they’re super new. If it was one of the city’s other newbie samurais, then maybe.


    ? SuperVenom101 (Best Fren)


    Replied Today at 2:25PM


    I mean, it’s possible? Stray Cat’s pretty weird, so let’s not overlook this


    ? Nowwho (Who?)


    Replied Today at 2:26PM


    Just because her GF is a pyronun doesn’t mean she’s weird!


    <hr>


    Junior found herself frowning. They were all wrong, of course. Well, not about Cat being weird. That was spot on. But the rest.


    She sighed. She should know better by now about people being wrong on the internet.


    That didn’t stop her from opening a TTS app and dictating a reply.

    Replied Today at 2:26PM


    Cat’s not like that. I bet whatever she’s doing, it’s what she thinks is best. She’s probably wrong, because she’s stupid, but she’s like, a genuinely nice person even if she’s a bitch.


    Don’t tell her I said so.


    ? Teken


    Replied Today at 2:27PM


    Lol, How would you know?


    ? Loskia


    Replied Today at 2:27PM


    They’re one of SC’s kittens, tag says so.


    ? M-Raynolds


    Replied Today at 2:27PM


    Could be a fake tag. I know you need to ask a mod, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be faked.


    <hr>


    Junior didn’t know why she bothered at all.


    With a shake of her head, she backed out of the thread, then hopped into another that was booming.
