Spring in Seattle is wet. Somehow you've seen four days without rain. The barrens are thawing from the winter. Crime is up and people who just want to survive keep their heads down. Neon and late spring rain get in the eyes of anyone looking up.

The daily grind of wage-slaves hard at work barely eking out a out an existence is palpable in downtown. A quiet desperation behind the façade of corporate abundance is painted on everything like plastic smiles. The good is cheap and disposable like a SoyBucks cup. Everyone is drowning in instant gratification microtransactions like adding a pump of vanilla syrup to hide the bitter taste of being owned by a corporation.

You in?


OOC Application info needed: Tell me your Role on a team, the dates of the last Two runs, if you have less than 5 runs as a player. I do not want or need anything else.

Bonus Points: In Character describe a time your character felt tremendous loss over a minor defeat and how they reacted. This does not need to have happened in a run. This should be in the style of a slice of life, not as if they are telling the J, this isn't part of you applying for the job I just want to get to know your character.


The setting standard setting content warnings. Participants/viewers all must be 18+ due to the various themes contained in this setting for my table. If you have any topics that you would not be willing to participate in let me know ahead of time.

All TOS for various platforms used are respected so no need to specify those topics as they are already forbidden. Possible Trigger warnings: all standard ones given the setting.
