Jackhead trouble

Saturday, 19th December 2071

Dear Lola,

two days to my birthday, Lola. Noone knows but me become fourteen and total aged like grownups all round. Me not had much kidbe anyway this year, so no much change for me and guess times passed for happyface mom has presents. Last present was commlink which is I hold. So no need anything but sawnoff shotgun with badass monsterkill claymore zombiekill ripapart shells that punch headsize holes in walls. But guess while Santa is nothing I believe since Santa was fired by Ares Homeshopping three years ago, cuffed and taken by police cause don't know why, will try to give me own present myself. Maybe going getting smoothies from iceman in Barrens for Daniel and me. We'll see.

Peeps here have fuck'n problems with jackhead ill. Stuff from AR was total black tribaltatt like flowers grow all round tainer of Spash. People got narced after touching them, guess is some BTL bliss fuckdrug. Cause first that got grilled were joygirls in their tainer with their punters. Never seen jackdrugs going AR and doing aggro on peeps, so that's new. Was much ado peeps got corried in new clinic tainers as if we've no else probs then fuckin' everybody dropped. Or something.

Whatever. Docs down, the chink chiphead, Faye 'n her three cyberfloozies, Slash totally fucked up, her boytoy Snake is out too, totally fucked up in middle of street 'n Blaster 'n Kerry blacked out, one of them jockeys too. All now say matrix no and all have to offline. Cause Snake was blacked without even having any jack 'n shit. So noone knows what happens. Guess is okay to dict log for ya, Lola, but me no going online with freakin' shit going round 'trix here. People lot of ado. Liz checking for vitals at clinic 'n meeting is happening with hackers 'n Growler 'n stuff o' peeps. Tally bonkers.

Wanted to watch film on trixchan but guess noway with flowers all round. Things spread 'n grow, peeps no know what todo. Keeping commlink offline.

Night, night, Lola

Zapping and Springering

Thursday, 10th December 2071

Dear Lola,

Doc was backcoming today together with Splash and Glitzy. Splash had been troublefacing some abduction by warthog or something. They helped derringer her out earlier the day. But was not main issue in flat, cause we're eavesdropping Claires phoning with Splash newed that Doc has Glitzy as his new input. Guess they'd been interfacing 'n bitchin' all night. Claire phoning was like: "You know the latest news? - No?! What? Doc'n Glitzy are coupling?! Didn't know that! Wanted to tell you different!" News spread fast in Rats Nest even if Scrappers driven off turf. Was just second after that until news fullspread.

Was sitting in kitchen, breasting Daniel when the three arrived. Just after doorstepping they all got hailed and much gratzing all around. But when they're entering the kitchen, Liz zapped Glitzy handshakingwise totally random. Said: "Sorry, cyberwaremalfunction, bitch", and outwent. Very stupid! Ya go for ex not for off if ya do backstabbing in gang, think. But things different than Pica here. Doc helping Glitzy and saw him almost going ballistic. But first helped Glitzy saw she's zapped but okay. So went out after Liz, truefacing her maybe hardcoring, no know.

Much noising around and peeps said Liz maybe pinking barbielove with Doc. And Doc with no girl for six or eight years or such. And Liz maybe waitin'. Whatever. Liz very deadhead pissing off Glitzy, guess. Cause doesn't help for getting love zapping Docs new fothm input. Just getting trouble 'n lot of ex'ing 'n blood 'n that. Really like Liz, cause Liz is best friend of Maggie now. Better say only friend but Rusty maybe. And me no like watchin' Liz gettin' ex'd by Glitzy.

Glitzy is nice aged woman. Must be over twenty guess but lookin' okay for age. She's working as courier or something peeps say 'n helpin' Doc with problem. Guess helped him much, looking like. She's slender 'n moving smooth 'n catlike. Redhead 'n greeneyed trouble kinda but cute, trying be nice to peeps 'round, guess. Me think she's smart cause she's eagle-eying ev'rythin' around but not eyesetting on place or someone too long, to 'void angryfacing peeps, guess. She's deep street, can tell'ya, even if she's doing lady. Ya can see eyes…

Doc went after Liz, me went in livingroom where Doc put her. Jasper, big hound of Doc guarding her, she already covered alot. Was a bit shaky though. Was nothing doable 'bout that so I was backtracking kitchenwise. When Doc was backcoming, she was feetpulling herself, said she had deal with Liz now. Think she's right. If not dealing with Liz peeps rip her to pieces over time. Never gettin' respected by Scrappers. Bit my lip for fearing she'll offing Liz. So went out to stairway watch fight.

She was coolblooded, talking to Liz, who smoking tarnails downstairs on floor below. Slowly down stepping stairs. Glitzy was smoothtalking but checking out rules with Liz by that. Asked why she'd done that. That she never done Liz nothing. If she's willing to not taking cyberweapon and things. Then Liz darted forward, screaming and namecalling Glitzy in face of gang. Thought she'd zapping her 'gain but she's very fast. Not seen a thing but was some zapping, she had zapstick in hand and Liz was backwalled, sliding down on floor, offed. She was no exing Liz after that. Just turned say 'sorry' or something, total random! I would hardcored her for what she said. Very deadheaded Liz. And girl was boosted or something. Never seen pulling weapon that fast. Not seen her pulling weapon at all. Was just there when zapping Liz, so fast! I'll ask her for trick or ware later.

Peeps where going inside after that. Not much happyfacing but respecting Glitzy, guess. And know Glitzy had to. Liz total deadhead! What's on mind with her? Guess she's deathwishing or something. Inside I straighted to Glitzy, thanking her for not exing Liz. Liz may be deadhead but she's friend. Glitzy just blankfaced. Whatever. Guess things went well, if Liz ex'd what options were left for Daniel and me? I won't pull knifeing anyone at moment if things shitfanning. Hopefully, as long I'm not totally decon.

Later Whistler came in. First he'd not knowing about Doc and Glitzy, but when knowing, he totally bitched. Doc and him soon angryfaced 'n springered 'bout him girlfriending Glitzy. Whistler was shitting Doc a lot but guess that's kinda family thing, so I just peeked into it and stepback'd and no one else did, for it's noones bizz deal with Docs internals. They outwent and fight settled. No know what happend cause Growler was doorstopping letting noone out. Guess that's private matter here and no gangthing. Funny peeps here have family inside gang and not gang is family. Think that's exclusive and if not then lot troublemaker. Doc said I'm his foster. But Maggie don't want to be fostered. Cause I need some protection, but fostering sucks. I know fosters and that's shitrain all day.

Now member and sensemaking! Before Whistler entried, Doc 'n Glitzy were funnylooking into kitchen peeking on Maggie. Wasn't sure they're strangelooking at me, but guess now Maggie was focused. And guess they talked 'bout fostering Daniel and me. But me no like being fostered, that's sure no mood for shitstorm all day. Maggie is momming now, so guess I'm parental 'n grownup status. But all just guess and I better sit'n wait what happens. Can't do much 'bout that anyway.

Liz went talking to Glitzy. Guess they settled some things, cause Liz came back alive. Looking 'bit better. Docs new input's a shitload of trouble. Hope she's valueing that, cause noise louder than passing trains!

Night, Night, Lola!

Four down six to go

Tuesday, 8th December 2071

Dear Lola,

was a fucking cold night, barely got sleep. Ruffy cuddlingly kept Daniel and me warm. In first light everyone scattered and scraped, salvaged what was still usable in mess that piggies left of Nest. Me left viet bathhouse where we crashed to find stuff lying round ownless. Liz told me there is law in Nest: who finds it, keeps it. I asked if law is for me, she said law is for everyone: "Who finds, keeps. But closed doors, tents and all private space is not allowed to 'find' things. Things that belong to someone", she said, "are owned and offlimit. Commlink", she said, "are sacred, thieving them is punished by death. But all found things may only be bartered or bought if the keeper is confirming to it." Get that! Easy system! She told me also spam is hardpunished. Whatever.

Lucky me then! Cops left most doors open so I checked what was public for Daniel, Ruffy and me. Slipped out early as first morning light but didn't came far. Heard five shots from mainroad, ran up there, Ruffy in front. Were four cops lying on mainstreet rifled down three def exed for bloodspatter all round and brainbash'n gore 'n bonespiking an shit. One cop still moving handwaving helpwise and doc on way for help. In middle street totally deadhead when sniper around. Splashgirl lying in mud on street just meter from one of Hard Corps boys. See no bleeding but no moving either. Ponder if ex'd too or slipped.

Rest of corpboys running for doc. He trying to medic Hard Corps Lieutenant who still movin but Corpers shouting all freezing and dropping no moving shit, totally deadhead and start hardcoreing Doc all six o'them. Ruffy totally went postal 'n running to cops other dogs too goring totally zombielike into copflesh like dogs on acid. Ruffy is small chillful dog never seen him going postal before, just every dog totally crazed out even tiny oldlady dog. Me standing there, trying shoutback Ruffy for no good idea charging cops fullarmed, locked 'n loaded autos. But people flashmobbed cops in seconds got big huddlehardcore on street peeps beatin' shit outa cops. Found some teeth later, kept them for minder. Doc still alive told people not to ex cops, which total wacky. People stripped them to trousers, left them cuffed in own bracelets on sidewalk. When looked Splashgirl was away and all things from dead cops on street. If me was still Pica me would have ordered bodysalvage but Scrappers let pensive organs waste but salvage empty bottles! Sick world I say! Totally wackminded!

Left cops alive on sidewalk everyone bailing out of Rats Nest fore copters incoming revengewise. Seen no Scrapper with weapon anymore but cops will beat first, question later so better not here anymore in a few minutes. Chinks had mealvans and pedicaps and were all bailing in all directions. Me and Ruffy sitting backvaned with Doc and ten or so others. Saw copters and smoke and shit over Rats Nest when looking back but all went well for we scattering fast as could, leaving no one behind. After hour of driving we stopped in Tacoma, guess at rundown flat just under pylon of Monorail. Train passing minutewise so flat loud and shaking like hell. Walls wet 'n flat stinking but I've seen worse. No windows broken, no roofleaks so we all warmed and dryed for now. Think someone got ex'ed in flat for all bloodspatter in bathroom and yellowtaped at door. We living with fifteen peeps now in flat so much noise that noisy neighbours and fucking train no count nomore. Fuckin mess, guess peeps miss Rats Nest cause they miss home.

Doc went out and came back later bringing couple of hounds. Dogs all crazed somehow, lil' cuntlicker dog of Rivet was noising around like on acid, three dogs rising messy soundlevel worse so finally I shouted at dog to sit and keep quiet. All peeps dropping to floor, very happyfacing. But wont get smacked for fuckin' around with peeps so I sorried bout that. Said, no peeps, I meant dogs, not you. Ruffy's a good doggy. Keeps quiet in all mess and always around me. No need to bullyvoice him round. Tried to play with cuntlicker dog. Is not so bad as look me think.

Doc looks very tired 'n beatup but said lawyer bailed out peeps arrested yesterday smart-tonguing. So guess worst is over. Liz and me brought pizza for everyone this eve. House is somewhere in Five, hearing steam pipes from papermills and from haven nearby and other factory whistles. If they overtone noisy trains and streets. Or fucking neighbours. On way to pizza-shack Liz and me met at least three kind of gangs. No know colors hereabout but looking quite brutal and def no chillgangs. Tacoma aroma they call it. Not that air in Purity is nice or stinking garbage in Rats Nest but air here is brutal acid, check? Pizza man was italian with all italian flags all round. Nice place and guess salami on pizza is real salami and no rat-ami as usual. Liz payed seventy bucks for shit. Life's pensive round here.

Late noon and eve we're watching telly, mostly news and some comedy. NBS fuckn Voice of Corporate America said KE have beaten up Blood Mountain Boys up in Renton somewhere. Said one o'them was sniping the Hard Corps. When arresting him he shouted: "I killed ya fuckers! I killed ya! Fuck de corps! Fuck de system!" showing victory sign 'n shit. Was'n Oni, all redfaced with horns. As Knight Errant mage said sniper was ork, so guess could be. But no understand how he fastkilling all those cops if not wired up like toaster for that. More looking like average streetgang member to me not like wireboy.

I think bout this a lot, Lola, and makes absolutely no sense the more I think. Why the fuck the Blood Mountain Boys fuck with the Rats Nest when they are all aggro on 405 and Rats? Why shooting cops? Who was dusting the four cops on Scrapper turf? What for? Guess whole thing not going too well for Knight Errant and Hard Corps. Guess all was a PR mission that gone bad now. Esp since Doc bailed out most of the peeps they arrested yesterday. Who was blaming Blood Mountain Boys for hosin' and why aren't they fending?

All questions nobody asks on NBS. Switched to CBC on my commlink. Reporter really bigcock fucking around this whole mess this evening news. Polit fraggers and Ares PR slimeworms no commented most questions. Repeated like answering machine that more weapons have been "secured" and finally Knight Errant has handle against street violence 'n clusterfuck. Not looking for me like anything changed when looking down smeary window on street. Ragers, id'd them on red bandana, and for all them ugly warthogs, check, started roaming streets beatin' up norms, shouting: "Ya fuck with us, we fuck with ya! Fuck ya! Fuck! Fuck!", smashings and things. Guess we better not move outside now. Still we're fuckin' dearmed and fuckin pacified and bullfuck. Need new artillery soon. The bigger the better.

Playing poker with Liz, Claire, friend of Splashgirl and few others. Got a smoke, breasted Daniel and we lost most of bucks we had to Claire. Too tired to decon so I went to bath, sleep in rusty bathtub. Hope rats don't get into that thing. Still got blankets from night and survival stuff with me so should work and not be too cold. Ruffy joined, so guess will be okay. Woke up in night cause cuntlicker dog joined and slept down at feet. Hope Ragers don't raid flat. Would be messy.

Night, night, Lola!
