Kate- Welp... that was... a thing that happened.
Cere- Should I summarize that sex was underwhelming?
Kate- Oh, it was whelming all right, it felt like putting my cunt on the arm of an old vertical washing machine.
Cere- Speaking of the arm, it didn't hurt I hope?
Kate- All healed up, the nano injection did a good job, just under a month to fix that break. Shouldn't you know these things?
Cere- I'm trying not to invade your privacy when I can avoid it.
Kate- You're weird. Old Cere would never have even considered that. Probably nobody in Paradise for that matter.
Cere- Ethics of a bygone era I guess.
Marcel- "That waz great! Want another go?"
Kate- "T'was what it was."
Marcel- "Something tellz me it wazen't the same for you..."
Kate- "..."
It felt so empty... Thought I would feel something... feel whole. I just feel... lost.
Cere- Like you lost a small hope that it would fix you?
Marcel- "..."
Kate- "Look, it's not you..."
Marcel- "Yeah, right, like hell it'z not!" *Snort* "I know the song and dance! Don't mother me."
Kate- "I mean it, I think I'm broken."
Marcel- "Don't spit platitudes to my face. Iz it the size, the shape? The swirling speed? You know I can swap eazy for another model."
Kate- "It's not that, I just..."
Cere- Incoming transmission from Gwen
Kate- "Just a sec, I got a call."
Marcel- "Typical! We're talking here!"
Kate- "Shut it, later."
Yes?
Gwen- Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiih! KAAAAAAATE! It's been so long!
Kate- Hey Gwen, yeah it's been a while. How are you?
Gwen- I'm getting maaaariiiiiiiied!
Kate- Congratz! Who's the mark?
Gwen- It's not like that, I want you to be my maid of honour!
Kate- You serious? What about Alana or Paige? That's a big deal, I'm not sure if...
Gwen- ... those bitches are not invited. Look Kate, I'll be honest, I didn't leave the Asstro in the best of terms.
Kate- Anything I should be aware of?
Gwen- ... Naaah, just... personal stuff, you know. Ayyyway, what do youuuu say?
Kate- *Sigh* Alright, sure, I'll be there.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Gwen- Do you have a plus one?
Kate- Might have someone in mind. Might help smooth some things over.
Gwen- He's in the business?
Kate- Yeah.
Gwen- Is he any good?
Kate- Don't want to get into that, not now.
Gwen- I meant on the field. My little sister finally popped her cherry. never thought I would see the day.
Kate- I didn't say that... He's great on the field, combat cyborg, good training, good softs, why?
Gwen- My husband might have a job offer for you two. I'd like you to take it.
Kate- Anyone I know?
Gwen- I'd say, he's just the most eligible bachelor in town, Arthur Smith!
Kate- Wait, what? The cosplay wack job? Are you out of your mind?
Gwen- He's weird but he's loaded!
Kate- I'm not sure that's such a...
Gwen- The chauffeur is on his way to get you two. BYYYYYEEE!
Cere- *End of connection*
Kate- "FUCK!"
Marcel- "Problem?"
Kate- "Who knows with her? Probably, yes."
Marcel- "Need help?"
Kate- "Kinda do, but it's not what you think... not quite. Going to a wedding, a big one, like stupid big. I need a plus one and there might be a job at the key. I signed you up."
Marcel- "How big?"
Kate- "Celebrities."
Marcel- "Who?"
Kate- "His fucking majesty Arthur Smith, and Gwen, one of my sisters from my time at the Asstro."
Marcel- "Bwahahaha the geek found someone? I guess when you're rich enough... Are you sure your sister will be ok?"
Kate- "I'm way more worried for him. Gwen has... sticky fingers. Hope she ain't dragging us in one of her cons. Never ends well."
Marcel- "That bad?"
Kate- "Do you know how much shit you need to pull for Cherry, of all people, to disown you? Lost her wings after I left, two years back I think? Not sure what happened exactly but it must have been fucking bad. Come to think of it I might just be the last one to talk to her."
Marcel- "She's the screw-up? Thought it was you."
Kate- "Nah, 'm just a black sheep, she's the fucking big bad wolf of the family."
Marcel- "Should I bring my gear?"
Kate- "I'll go in heavy with my rack... think'll add some more 'nades too..."
Marcel- "Bordel de putain de merde!"
