Funny you should mention it, the neo-anarchists aren't Ettes favourite people, because he's an anarchist commie at heart and the neo-As are more hipster types fighting the corps for its own sake. Regardless, they're the 'cool kids' of the rad-group scene, and have both the connections and fast cash to get him a break.

Societally that'd be nice, but linguistically that sounds like a mess. Would people use the kinsey-scale in conversation? 'She's a Sixer, so you don't have a chance, she's not into men at all.'

And even then the granularity would be weird. Do you develop vocabulary for 'Would absolutely sleep with Robert Downey Jr. but otherwise straight' and 'Only 2D love is real' and 'bisexual (But only attracted to gnomes)'....?

Sex in the sixth world is a clusterfuck.

I mean 'no, I'm not interested' is a valid reason to turn away a potential suitor and should be respected, but 'Not my type' is horribly nonspecific for anything except that particular instance and could mean anything from 'too much/too little chrome' to 'votes republican' to 'I don't date orks'

No point in OverSperging on a largely theoretical subject before the game begins, especially considering that Ette sounds rather omnisexual on the face of it.
We could probably have more fun figuring out who Ette wouldn't take to bed, and putting research into futuristic sex culture on the back burner.

E: just to clarify that I agree with your points, I just don't have the energy for a thorough examination of the subject.

You require your dates to have actual text bound in paper? With as scarce as paper-grade trees and hemp have gotten? You know how much of your income and bio-quota that is these days? You bougie gently caress.

You'll know if they're worth it from what they've gotten in trouble for reading.

Neo-Anarchy in practice

A fortunately uneventful ride through the channels of Hamburg comes to an end. This time, no ambushes or assholes shooting UZIs because you took their parking space.

After the Black Tide of 2011, when the black sea awakened and drowned much of Scandinavia in torrents of toxic water, the free hanseatic port is now the new estuary of the Elbe river. Massive channels have filled the streets of yesteryear, and the industrious German people have just built onwards and upwards.

You park Nomi, your beloved if severely beat-up water bike, outside the current Neo-A meeting point in the Wildost or 'Wild East'. A demon-rat tier Z-Zone, one of the most inhospitable settled city areas in the world. You hate coming here, but can't fault their reasoning: The cops won't show up here unless something biblical is wrong!

As far as the eye can see, slimy and eroded concrete surfaces that were once roofs, or silty, stinking marsh, with clusters of massive, black awakened mangroves in the distance. You're happy to come here at day, as night can bring ghouls, will'o'wisps or even faeries, and those will all wreck your evening. The sun really brings out the stink, though.

"eeey Ette, what's good?". Tino shows up, all smiles as usual. One of the good ones, you reckon, as he's fair, smart and gets things done. When with the other dreks he's just as dumb as them, however. Smart implants in his cheekbone flick aviator-cut glasses out from behind his neck and over his eyes, reflecting the glare of the high noon.

"Not much, omae." you sigh. "I tried my hand at hacking some Chinese take-out, and now HamSec has seen my access ID."

His smile dims a bit. "Harsh. You got out of you' pad, right?"

You confirm. "I need a job, so I can get out of Hamburg."

"Tough, you gotta love it here. It's a runners paradise!"

You confirm, more grudgingly. "So, can you help me?" you ask.

"Dreeeik, my beggar, of course I can! A lot of these neo-neo-rear end wilsons flaking out on us because they're scared of the heat, and lots of runs to be ran. Uh, let's see, currently we've planned a break-in and break-up on a Nationale Aktion meeting, you'll want to see Olli about that. Then there's disrupting the corporate art fair, takes place in a swanky place down Neue Mitte. Or, if you're feeling drek hot, we need more guys for a big heist up in the enclaves.

What do you feel like, cosmonaut?”


You feel like...

A) The run against Nationale Aktion. Killing nazis is always legit, and usually easier than killing other people, because they're so dumb.
B) Disrupting the corporate fair. Nancy-pancy art shindigs can't have the best security, and maybe terrorizing the normies will even be fun!
C) The Big Heist. The corp enclave are usually really well protected, but with a good team and a good plan, it could be your big break.
D) This all sounds terrible. I'd rather go back to one of my other contacts and ask them.



((We made our social check against Tino, who was more than predisposed to let us work for the Neo-As. In an hour or so I will put up Ettes current character sheet in the OP, with the caveat that it may change a bit in case I forgot something, am a bit blitzed with homework atm))
