I drew my knife as I flowed into a powerslide. Grabbing the wire I slid off the roof. Falling a good three or so feet before the wire snagged.
Then I cut it with my knife. The back end of my blade had wire cutters and in a second I was falling again. Sheathing my knife I managed to wrap the wire around my chrome hands a few times so I had a good grip as I fell.
Above me the pittering noise of the studs drilled into the concrete that the wire had been hooked into popped loose one by one, and then it happened.
The wire at the end was attached to a much stronger cable tie.
And instead of falling, I was swinging.
"No, Koko Chan. I can't betray Lady Yatsumi no matter how much my heart beats for you!"
" But Jun Sama! Search your heart, you know that you belong to me! Together we can overcome everything Lady Yatsumi can thr-"
*Phlp.
A raised eyebrow was all it took to send some of the minions around him into a frenzy as they worked frantically to recover the signal for the climax of Lost Tales of the Forest Clan.
"We-we can fix this Fujimura Sama! I know you threw alot of eddies in financing this Drama, so we have our best time on-hand to resolve this!"
*Tap-Tap-Tap
"It seems i require competent help. Akari if you would?"
As his surroundings descended into a frenzy of screams and blood splatters, Fujimura put up a noise cancellation field and dialed a number.
"Wakako Sama? I require a competent Netrunner to help me track-down the Last Episode of Lost Tales Of The Forest Clan. Yes, i understand that each episode of the series is broadcasted once and that all copies of the Master Tape are burnt upon showing.
As such i need a Netrunner sent to the production studio to get the Master Tape before they do that. Failing that, i would still be willing to pay 50% for any drafts, pre-vizs or rehersals. And yes, if the Netrunner does manage to steal the Tape successfully, you are more then welcome to make a copy of it's contents.
Jun could put a little more effort when emoting? Very well, I'll be sure to pass it on to him to keep in mind for the Sequel. "
Hanging up the call, Fujimura turned towards the now quiet room and shut down the noise cancellation field.
"Akari do remember to take a bath before you escort my daughter to her event. Despite her feeble attempt at teenage rebellion, i think she'll draw the line at personal hygiene. No. Do not give me the pouty face. It will not work. Go."
As Akari walked away with shoulders drooped, Fujimura found himself kneading his brows to relive the stress from having his one Vice interrupted mid-climax.
Letting out a sigh and with his relaxation now utterly ruined, he turned back towards the mountain of Compensation Claims stacked up on his desk and resume processing them.
Just another day in Night City.
Because it kinda amuses me if Motoko YOLOing with her Parkour cuts into the most sacred of hobbies. Interrupting the climax to a Drama Series which are serious business yo!
