Did I really want this to be my first fic in 5 years? No not really, but god damn it I'm uploading this garbage anyway. Going back and watching Chaotic I realized that Fuck Damn there are some hot monsters here. Couldn't really find any fics taking advantage of that soooooooo Reviews always appreciated!

Her real name was Mandy, and scan-hog she was indeed.

Before she was invited to join Chaotic for real, she was quite a collector. Collector of anything from old toys to vintage clothes to Halloween decorations. Well, more like an organized hoarder. So when her friends Maxis and Jet (nicknames of course) first introduced her to Chaotic, she HAD to have each card.

Now she couldn't very well go spending all her income on a trading card game, so she thanked her lucky stars when she was one of the few accepted to join Chaotic, the real deal Chaotic. She usually hung out with Jet there, Maxis hadn't joined yet. Only problem was..

"Keep your voice down!" Jet hissed at her in shock, appalled at what Mandy had just suggested, leaning down on the table further as if attempting to hide. A server bot passed without having heard their conversation. The older girl glared at it as it left the food court area, still wary.

"What? What'd I do?" Mandy stared at her friend with a look of confusion and mild disinterest if she HAD done anything.

"You opened your big mouth! I told you not to bring that up in public- In...ever!" Jet now turned her hard glare to the orange haired girl across from her. Jet liked to tease her about it, saying she could smell the dye from a mile away. Mandy's hair was long and bright orange, and she usually wore half of it up in a lazy attempt at making it look like a real style.

"Well, if you had the shamelessness to screw around with a denizen of Perim," Mandy teased with a tone of mock condescension and a barely suppressed smile, lowering her voice, "then you wouldn't evade talking about it and wouldn't be freaking out in the middle of the food court."

Mandy tilted her head to the few pairs of eyes witnessing her mohawked friend twitch in frustration.

"Fuck- I- Fine," Jet exhaled a quick breath, "but you gotta understand, it was FULLY HEALED Mezzmarr, and I was gonna lose him!" She defended.

Mandy smiled. "Aw, and here I thought you only liked Underworlders~" She teased gently, earning herself a slug on the arm. "But in all seriousness," she winced and rubbed her arm tenderly, leaning in a little, "they'll really do it with humans? Or like, you just happened to get a scan out of it?"

Jet only looked somewhat uncomfortable talking about it now. "Yeah, he seemed fine with it, even kinda curious if I remember. Sounds like something you would do now that I think about it, scan-hog."

Jet flashed Mandy a half smirk, tossing her scanner onto the table to show off the Mezzmarr scan card. He was at 100% health and energy, nothing to sneeze at.

Scan-hog huh? Mandy got an idea. If fooling around with Perimians gets you the best scans, well, a collector's gotta venture out to find her prizes, doesn't she?

Jet must have noticed the look on her face, coupled with the silence, and her jaw dropped a little.

"Oh no no no, don't you do it Amanda Ann, don't you even THINK about it young lady."

"You sound like my mom."

"That's the point. You won't listen to me if I tell you 'Hey, chickita, don't go have sex with 8 foot tall-300 something pound monsters.' …..

"No I'm not."

"You won't go do it or you won't listen to me?"

"J, look into my eyes and tell me; which one do you think I meant?"

The older girl threw her arms in the air and threw her head back. "Alright fine, ya scan-hog! Just," she paused in her exasperation, "be careful alright? I mean hey, it's a good time and all, but that's the real world out there. Your pussy gets shredded, it stays shredded. Lemme know how it goes~!"

Mandy cringed at her vulgar choice of words, watching her saunter off to grab some food. Mandy wasn't particularly hungry right now, but a lazy smile crossed her face when thinking of adding to her collection.

It'd been about a month since she'd really plugged into Chaotic, and she'd been out to Perim about 40 or so times. Sure it was dangerous and she knew that, but it was too much fun and way too rewarding not to go everyday.

Whereas many players went about twice a week, Mandy couldn't get enough of the beautiful world of Perim. And now, she'd stop by home to grab some supplies before heading out for another adventure. Hopefully, this would be a new experience in itself. She really wanted those scans.

She snickered to herself, pulling out her scanner.

"Scan-hog, huh?" she muttered through a smirk, pressing the button at the top and transporting in a flash.

Yeah so I just wanted to start this before the inspiration left me. Will update this week :) How was it?
