by MaBre85

Summary:

Judy Álvarez is a low Braindance-Technician in Night City. A young woman who dreams of escaping the big city she's trapped in. But the city is treacherous. While one step can bring you fame and fortune, the next might lead to broken dreams and a Mantisblade between your ribs.

Chapter 1: Emotions

Emotions.

Emotions were art. She loved them. May it be when they were induced by something beautiful or when having sex.

Right now, she felt the sensation of getting pounded from behind. She felt how the guy's size was filling out every bit. How with every thrust the climax was closing in.

'Damn, she really likes getting fucked from behind. No wonder, 'cause she mustn't see those ugly fuckfaces that are poundin' her.'

But then the emotions got discorded. Gunshots were hearable from close-by, killing the mood.

'Hmm, nothin' unusual for Kebuki. Still, very distracting. Let's iron this out.'

The noise was gone, the emotions remained and got enhanced to fill the gap.

Then the upcoming peak of sensation got flatlined for a moment as the guy withdrew his member, only to let it glide into the other hole, which induced an entirely new set of emotions.

'Eve doesn't like anal. She hides it pretty well, but it fucks up the whole experience. Gonna have to modify this, too.'

She bumped up the pleasure level and lowered every bit of discomfort. It was easy to suppress distractions or wandering thoughts. But bad feelings and discomfort? These were the real challenges.

Every gonk with the tech to modify raw Virtus could bump up the pleasure level, but finding the right balance and hitting the sweet spot was an art not many could master.

"How's my Virtu comin'?" chimed a voice from far away, distracting her so that she left the virtual memory and focused back to reality.

Everlyn Parker was a woman in her thirties. She was tall, with a well toned body. A dream-woman for a lot of men as she looked like a high-society corpo dame. Yet, she belonged to the scarce middle-class. Her blue, bob-cut hairs were precisely cut and her sparkling dress showed that she wanted all attention on her body. This, plus her charismatic character made her the perfect doll. A woman of pleasure, who was serving every kind of gender and fetish with her body. It was her job, nothing more, and making some money with the Braindances she recorded regularly, a nice additional income that also benefited her best friend, Judy Álvarez.

Judy was a young woman with Hispanic roots in her early twenties. Her lanky, with various tattoos, decorated body was clad in a gray top and black dungarees, whereas one expander hung loose from her hip. Her shoulder-long, green and pink dyed hair was combed to the right side while the left side of her head was shaved.

"Why are you doin' this to me, Eve?" Judy asked, taking off the BD-viewer that she had used to tune the Virtu. "You know how hard it is to tune Virtus where you get fucked in the bum. You don't like it, so don't show it."

Evelyn took one last draft from the cigarette she was smoking before extinguishing it in an ashtray.

"I know you like the challenge, Jude. And besides, I'm not the one who dictates what people like and what not," she replied, sitting down on the table Judy was working on.

"Wow, gettin' fucked in the ass…? Yeah, can't imagine anythin' better…" the tattooed woman answered cynically, putting the device aside.

"Oh, come on, you lil' softy. Cheer up!" the older woman then said cheerfully, patting her friend's shoulder. "I already got a buyer on Jig-Jig street, who'll gimme 3.000 Eddies for those BDs. And he's even willing to gimme a bonus if there's some anal in it."

Simply answering with a huff and putting the device back on, Judy spoke "Hey, it's your sore ass, not mine. Just gimme another hour and I'll be done with it."

"Good!" Evelyn replied happily, jumping up from the table. "Then I'm gonna fetch us some dinner, 'cause we have another job to discuss."

Stopping in her doings, Judy shifted her dark-brown eyes at her friend again.

"Another job? Not that I mind scrollin' and tunin' your virtus. But if I keep on seein' you in action, you'd have to start to pay me in favors, too… If you know what I mean…"

"Friends with benefits?" Evelyn chuckled and embraced Judy from behind, fondling her A-cup-sized breasts. "Don't tempt me, Jude. Maiko's gonna kill me."

"Maiko can eat shit," the techie hissed back, freeing herself from the embrace. "I'm all over her fuckin' plotting and promises that mean shit to her. Should she run Clouds like she sees fit, but without me. I'm done with her and this fucking shithole that sucks out every bit life of the people that are working there!"

Evelyn didn't mind her friend's outbreak. Quite on the contrary she was glad that Judy had finally broken with Clouds - a doll house - and was ready to move on. Maybe even become a professional BD-technician.

"Then you'll be glad to hear that the job I got for you, will bring us a shitload of Eddies. 10.000 Eddies to be precise. Perfect for a new start, don't ya think?"

Judy froze for a moment. Had she heard right? 10.000 Eurodollars for one job?! Who would pay that much for tuning a porn-BD? Yes, the money would definitely come in handy for her and Evelyn to start all over again. Maybe even leaving the city. But to what price?

"I see, I got your full attention. Lemme just get us something to bite and then we'll discuss the detes, okay."

The lanky woman just watched how her friend left through the door of her tech-room, leaving her alone with a lot of speculation to ponder about. Yes, this mysterious job sounded too good to be true, and this is what bothered Judy. Because nothing was for free in Night City.
