The Shrine Maiden Returns
Music: right here - keshi || always - keshi
Sitting on the Rooftop of Misty’s, V3AH waited for Reed. Leaning against the cheap plastic chair, her dark brown shaggy bangs parted down the middle of her forehead, as cliche as it was, a single raindrop fell onto her nose on a sunny day, quickly closing her eyes, she lowered her head to see Jago’s image emitted in front of her.
“V….”
“Jago, don’t start. We both know this is how it was going to end.” She refused to look at her virus, this was the only way she could keep from the feeling of her heart being ripped out in the moment, dehumanizing him as much as she could. Looking down at the ground, pretending to check if her triple-knotted boots strings wrapped around needed to be tied.
The Tiger moved in closer and placed his chromed hands on top of hers, though he couldn’t touch her. When his finger tucked under her chin, she lifted her head with his motion, it was as if she didn’t have a choice.
“V.. Please don’t do this.” His thick Korean accent coupled with his soft voice, something she’d only ever heard in his memories, but finally to her, after all this time. It felt like a warm shower on this cold winter day.
“We still have options… We have to keep fighting. The-”
“They’re going to kill you, I know. This isn’t a decision I am making…” V3AH could feel herself starting to choke up, a lump in her throat. She was talking out loud to her imaginary tumor.
His eyes dropped for a moment in defeat, and.. She couldn’t be sure where his emotions ended and hers began but tears filled both of their eyes, much like this whole ride, where somewhere along the line, V3AH stopped being herself. What took her place after Konpeki plaza, was someone new.
His image stood and slammed into a hug to V’s body, she felt his weight wrapped around her.
“I won’t beg for my life anymore… If this is my end. I want to say..” Letting out a sigh, it felt as if the world was starting to lift from their shoulders.
“I’m sorry…”
What came after, it didn’t matter. They both knew what he was sorry for. The past 2 months have been him kicking her while she was already low.
The constant comparison of how Lynn was a better Solo than her
Not As Beautiful as Chae-Rin..
Or Strong & sturdy as Mara.
None of these things she could ever hope to live up to, but something occurred to Jago at that moment.. No.. Ho-Seok.
It occurred to him, that she had a different role to fill in his life.
When his emitted image faded, V3AH looked up and saw an AV heading her way.. And in a turn of events. She picked up and ran, jumping down the flight of stairs trusting her cyberware to do their jobs.
The rest of the day, V3AH went back to Kabuki, walked around the streets, picking fights with Claws, doing what they both loved doing best. Protecting their little corner of the closest either could hope for heaven.
And just as the sun was about to start its descent to the horizon, there was a calm over V3AH, the reassurance that this was the right decision.
“Always… I’ll be right here.” Ho-Seoks soft voice echoed in her mind.

Only Death walks in her wake..
"Does you word mean so little, Reed?" was all V3AH could whisper under her breath. No friend of the Voodoo boys herself, the way he threw Slider to the side like that left a pit in her stomach. Jago's words echoing her in mind that she'd live to regret taking the Oath as they walked out of the den.
Ya know... I kinda felt bad about Sliders death. I kinda screamed when we established connection to Songbird that we were gonna kill him. Imagine my anger when Reed hadn't even planned to let him live after saying it all would be square.

Not the most up-to-date of My sweet baby nomad. But she's so cute with her new Jaw cyberware, I couldn't just NOT show her off. I am so in love with her eyes which are so close to mine.
Also been working on decorating her apartment, since there are next to NO Japantown presets that arent littered with netrunning, or really ANY preset for that matter. Don't get me wrong, netrunning is cool, but My girls are blades, guns, and fist kinda gals. Mara very much so being fist and guns, V3 being Guns and Blades... including her new Mantis blades. So netrunning doesn't do it for me. She doesn't rep Mox or the Claws (has active war against the claws). So I guess I just have to do it myself..... Though I really don't want to lmao. I'd rather be playing the game. BUT I have replaced sims with this game, so we gotta have something nice!
