I mean, hbag posted about this thread in The 1000 Page Thread.  And when I posted there saying that our CYOA was even better I was just kidding around with you because I think yours is cool. Anyways, sorry, not trying to derail your thread!

I just read the 1000 page threads cyoa as the prologue to this one. And surf the web and spend those 250$, aliexpress ca 22whatever must be dope poo poo. Maybe not all of it if we need money for food and rent or whatever. Or use it all of it if we find something nice and then sell yourself as a slave to some cyber lord.

You run metaav.ex, and check what your avatar is currently set to. It seems to be blank, displaying you as a bland, generic grey human model. Boring. Luckily, thanks to the recent advances in neuroscience, this software lets you change how you appear on the MetaNet to be whatever you want. Keep in mind, though, that the access point ID you're connecting through will almost always be visible to some - NetCops, mostly. There have been rumours of ways to get around that, however. Due to your electrodes, however, manifesting your imagined avatar takes a lot more effort than if you were using a real neural jack. This means you're probably not going to be able to manage as much detail, and all the cool kids in cyberspace will probably think you're not the l33t h@x0r we all know you are, deep down inside.

Try as you might, you can't seem to make your avatar any bigger. Something about it being very difficult to mentally percieve yourself as taller than you are in meatspace. Of course, some more experienced runners have probably managed it. While sculpting your avatar, and for seemingly no reason whatsoever, you scream at the top of your virtual lungs if your terminal has any new dancers. It says something about "Tayne". Now there's a man in a hat, leather pants and some kind of pattern shirt having an absolute whale of a time in the distance. Techno music plays from seemingly nowhere and everywhere, just about loud enough to be mildly annoying.

Make my avatar just an animated shirt with a cool sunglasses dog on it and hit the metanet to find some gig jobs so I can afford better hair and maybe some gun nips.

You mange to manifest yourself into a cool, floating t-shirt with a smoking dog in sunglasses on it. Badass. You connect to a local net hub and find an employment forum. There's the normal, boring poo poo - people asking for cleaners, data-entry "specialists", and other monotonous, soul-crushing work that you almost certainly won't be fairly compensated for. Of course, there's always the seedier parts of the 'net, but that really depends on if you're ready to potentially kill a man. You spend a few minutes mulling it over.

You hastily post an ad on one of the many, many employment boards, although your advertisement will probably go unseen. It's one among millions, after all. Even if you're willing to do "literally anything", the unemployment rate's so high that so is everybody else. After pinning your listing to the job board, the employment node's clever little abstraction of the actually rather complicated ad submission process, you shrug your virtual shoulders and decide to check out what the shadier corners of the 'net have. On one particular subnet, you manage to find (1d10 = 2 < Systems Knowledge of 4, success) a handful of ads looking for someone dead. One in particular stands out - some corporation's outsourcing their wetwork. They need an executive dead, and a little extrapolation leads you to figure out that he probably knows what goes on in the Corporate Security department, hence the outsourcing. There's a solid grand in it for you if you manage to pull it off, all you need to do is contact the employer. Well, that, and get yourself something to do the job with.

You briefly consider using your katana for the job, but then you remember it's actually just a cheap plastic piece of poo poo that'd probably do more harm to you than your target. A quick search brings you to a directory full of dataforts you can order yourself some weaponry at, but your broke rear end lacks a Premium subscription, so they'd take a couple days to get to your place. If you want something today, you'll have to go out into meatspace. Luckily, weapon stores are fairly abundant, which, depending on who you ask, is either the cause of or solution to the city's overwhelming violent crime. You quickly get the job details from the contact - Your guy should be at a local corpie bar for the next couple hours. Your employer was kind enough to mention that he might be packing heat, too.
