[i]"C'mon kid, it'll be good practice. Here, I'll let you use this," JT said with a chuckle, turning to face the two women. He loaded his rifle with a fresh clip of .45-70gvt. rounds and extended it towards Star, whilst drawing his own revolver Grimace. [/i]

[b]Snow:[/b] "That's a long list you got there." [b]Star: [/b]"Wouldn't mind listening to all of it sometime."
-
[i]"Well take a pick; Can't exactly show off all at once."[/i]
-
[b]Snow: [/b]"What can you do with the size changer?" [b]Star:[/b] "I'm a size cha-" [b]Snow:[/b] "Star...no."
-
[i]"Well aside from the obvious sexual benefits, I can grow taller, get swole as -blam!-, become a goddamned beanpole, etcetera."[/i]
-
[b]Snow: [/b]"Sounds awesome." [b]Star: [/b]"I don't think the benefits are obvious...maybe you could show m-" [b] Snow: [/b]"One more time, Star....I dare you."
-
[i]"In a bit. Any non-sexual applications y'all want me to demonstrate with?"[/i]
-
[b]Snow:[/b] "How do the wall hacks work exactly? Like...how?" [b]Star:[/b] "I can wait..."
-
[i]"It's simple. I target someone with my eye and a satellite grabs their thermal imaging from orbit, displaying it on my HuD." [/i]
-
[b]Snow:[/b] "So it depends on thermal imaging and a satellite to work?" [i]She shrugs.[/i] "Cool. Augs sound kinda powerful."
-
[i]"They are, though holy -blam!- is racism an issue as someone with augs."[/i]
-
[b]Snow:[/b] "Racism?" [b]Star: [/b]"Are cyborgs considered a race?"
-
[i]"I guess so. People will call you tin can and even -blam!-ing try and murder you. We're like historical blacks." [/i]
-
[b]Snow: [/b]"Ouch." [b]Star: [/b]"That sounds awful. I'm sorry for how people treat you, JT. You seem to be a really nice guy."
-
[i]"Oh it's cool, most places are pretty accepting. Only issue is from age 1 to 24, cybernetics of any form were illegal in my city so we had to hide shit."[/i]
-
[b]Star: [/b]"Huh." [b]Snow: [/b]"I feel like having some augs of my own would be pretty awesome."
-
[i]"Shit fam, I sell them."[/i]
-
[b]Snow: [/b]"Swee-!" [b]Star:[/b] "Too bad for Snow, she can't do that kind of stuff to her body and keep the hammers...but I could totally use an aug to shoot better." [i]Snow gets a disappointed look.[/i]
-
[i]"See, I can always find a way to make the aug into a piece of gear."[/i]
-
[b]Snow: [/b]"So I can get some awesome gear then?!" [i]Star now looks disappointed, she mumbles.[/i] [b] Star:[/b] "I was trying to get us some privacy...."
-
[i]"Snow, meet me at my clinic. I'll be there in an hour, I've got a promise for Star to keep." [/i]
-
[i]Star smirks and Snow rolls her eyes.[/i] [b] Snow:[/b] "Star, you can't be serious." [b]Star:[/b] "I am! I get to have some fun..." [b]Snow: [/b]"I wish I lied about my age again then at least I could follow."
-
[i]"...Say a word and I'll kill you Snow." [/i] [spoiler]Dead serious. I hope you were honest when you said she was a week away from 18. [/spoiler]
-
[i]Snow smiles wide and laughs.[/i] [b]Snow:[/b] "Hell yeah!...I mean no. I won't tell anyone!" [b]Star:[/b] "Wha-..." [i] It's obvious to JT that Star is in complete panic mode inside her head as she starts to hyperventilate a little.[/i]
-
[i]"You okay Star?"[/i]
-
[i]Star quickly nods and fakes a smile.[/i] [b]Star:[/b] "Y-Yeah! Totally!" [b]Snow: [/b]"Star, this is great! Maybe I can show you a thing or two..." [i]Snow jokes, not noticing Star's panic.[/i]
