Skitterdoc 2077

I could probably use Mrs Okada to approach them, and they would just assume I had stolen the research data from one of their competitors.
This sounds like the next arc is going to be Taylor trying to sell something cool that she made herself, Okada thinking that her mother made it or stole it from the family and her "family" thinking the same and looking for trouble with Taylor.
 
Thanks for the chapter :)

As for her new sexy nails i expect a lot of banter about her pretty savage nails tearing into hearts at the workplace
Even tho being a shard i would make the metal to have natural monoedge and conected to the battery of monowhire so she can play female wolverine, deathstrike or similar role.
Or perhaps the metal nails conected to the battery and simply keep the monoedge with special manicure she can have in a purse.
(edit: it would look classy in some waiting room when she picks manicure and start maintaining nails in a lobby.)

Perhaps in the future when she find herself in need to tear metaldoor and stuff.
Now i wish she makes friend with some pretty asian lady and makes her those colapsable nails like Kelly Hu as Lady Deathstrike. It could be custom job for some niece or greandchild of Wokako.

note: I swear officer, the bird had a cyberleg! and took more then 5 kilos of syntmeath right from me and flow away like it weight nothing. That freaky thing riped it out of my common gorila hands!

Going through the deceased Scavs was pretty quick, and I had already acquired for myself two sets of high-quality polymer arteries.
Still surprised that she hasn't had her Shard develop the ability to grow them internally and without surgery. Still, once she does have them I suppose she could have the Shard develop auto-regeneration so they don't have to be replaced.

normal dumb humans to dumb superhumans.
And that is most definietly the probem with making humans super without making them better first.
 
With all of the chemistry equipment I had been buying and making lately, though, I could push forward with my plan to sell my intellectual property to a biotech firm.

I don't this is going to be quite as simple as you're expecting, Taylor, given-
Wakako hummed in thought. There was no telling the number of things that she might have received from her father, so that wasn't really unusual. She was more concerned about anything left behind by her mother.
-this. Oh well, gotta escalate somehow!
 
So, is that Jackie Welles or one of his brothers?
jackie
That's jackie bro. He's built like a brick shithouse.
damn fucking right motherfucker big
Yes, it is Jackie. One of the other boys calls him that too when they run away at the end of that interaction.
yes here's hoping we get more interaction with him like her just calling him to see if he liked the car or just her being the one to find him and patch him up after he got shot like i wanna say 9 times but I might be thinking fiddy? How many times did Jackie get shot? the one that prompted him to quit the Valentino's and start the merc life.
 
Great chapter. Loving the TT parts hope Taylor stays long term :).
The gig was really good, waiting for her to break out the mono though lol
 
Bit of a partial crosspost here, but I thought some of you might be interested in a neat coincidence.

Jackie's ex before Misty was called Camila. There's nothing really on her.

But, in "The World of Cyberpunk 2077", under the Valentinos section (p172), listed among prominent members, is one 'Camila Martinez'.

If you're referencing the event Mama Wells brings up during the "Heros" sidequest (which should definitely been a main quest) then he catched 3 bullets, one very close to his heart.

While interesting that same last name doesn't mean she's related to Gloria or David. Just look at all those Millers or Smiths.



I was cruising through Northside the other day and kept an eye out for anything that looks like it could be the storage facility of the locker Taylers CP!dad has rented but the only building, that i could find, that comes even close to the description is the warehouse right next to the "Bloody Ritual" cyberpsycho sighting. And even that is a pretty loose fit...
 
Straight Taylor is sadge... But besides you ruining my fanon with facts and logic great chapter. Keep up da good work and Happy Holidays.

This is Night City. You can do a full gender swap in under a week, completely change your everything to match any preference.

There's no Straight or Gay. There's only "I like that personality" and "I like these types of bits". Because everything, even a personality, can be changed.

For people native to Night City which is not Taylor. Why must every person be gay or fluid?

InCluSioN, of course. Because despite the fact that less than a quarter (in fact, probably around 10-15%) of people are anything other than straight, it is apparently homophobic to not have your characters engage in LGBTQ+ relationships. Sure, it is completely normal for any person or character to be LGBTQ+, it is equally if not more normal for them to be straight; and people don't seem to get that.

Oh no! A mild over representation of a minority group in one small corner if the internet!

SV is very much an outlier in that regard. Wander outside of its social sphere and suddenly LGBTQ+ characters are few and far between. SV's representation can be attributed to it's population of LGBTQ+ people, which is notably higher than other websites of a similar size, which biases the content accordingly.

If you're somehow starved for straight characters, well try looking around, they're not rare in the slightest.

Even when you go outside the social sphere, if you look into fanfiction and LitRPG stories (two of my main preferences for fiction), and areas dedicated to those types of story, you find a large number of people that complain about non-lgbt characters. It isn't that I can complain about how many lgbt characters there are in these stories, it is that people complain when people AREN'T gay.

People also complain when characters are gay. Quite a lot actually. So fair's fair eh?
 
I've never seen anyone complain about characters not being LGBT. I've seen disappointment, but never anger.

I have however seen many people outright upset that characters are LGBT. it's gonna be the way it is in fiction.

It's less "everyone must be gay or fluid" and more "Did you not research the setting?"

Night CIty is the city where the freak flag is flown, where if someone has even a slight wonder about something, they can indulge it and then go back to whatever they want before.

It will always be a shame for me that they didn't include the insanity of the place. Or the reactionary counter counter movements.

....wow you got that from my comment. Not everything is a conspiracy or agenda.
(edit) or is that sarcasm.... no idea.

I've seen both honestly. Like people genuinely angry that a character wasn't LGBTQ+. But the second one, people angry because a character is LGTBQ+ is far more common in my personal experience.

Is there a creative writing site, fanfiction or original, that doesn't have plenty of stories with bi or gay characters? It's hardly a minority of stories and hasn't been for a long time.

As for complaining? I'm with the crowd that doesn't like changing an established characters preferences. At most I'll role my eyes if happens in fanfiction and continue reading if the story is good but absolutely hate it if it's done to an established character in a comic, book or a show.

If an original character is gay? All I care about is the quality of the story and how engaging it is.

And THAT is a fair view to take. LIke I don't think Taylor's bi in this setting.... just that Night City in the lore seems to be VERY open to all types of sexuality and experimentation.

And I find it interesting in this setting that even if someone is turned off by what's between someone else's legs - that you can completely change yourself to be someone that person is ok with. And the culture at large is ok with this.

I don't think some people get just how DIFFERENT the setting is for this place.

I'm not talking about "everyone in NC" I'm talking about Taylor who is canonically straight based on her choice of partner and word of god. "Everyone" includes Taylor.

I mean we don't know anything about CP Taylor's preferences. That would be the "Everyone" you're referring to, not the Worm Insert Taylor here.

I feel like you're trying to start a fight over some silly reason.
