Years of dance had given Daiya enough proprioception to resist her sensate nature, just for a few seconds. On the stage, she had stood still for longer, and yet the seconds seemed to stretch into eternity itself. As the elevator rose, heedless of its occupants' agony, its clockwork hum a poor...

She found it so easy, submerged in the rhythm of the music and the club floor. Her body moved on its own, blending her classic training with what the teen thought should reflect the music, not minding what anyone else thought about it. The owner of the hands behind her understood...
A strong part of her thought about matching the man's energy, giving him a taste of his own medicine. The burning ache in her throat wanted to pry apart her clenched teeth, to give him her own tongue lashing. She turned away instead, pressing her lips shut as a warning to herself. It took all...

It was Brie, of course. Blonde and petite, she looked few parts of the menacing demands that had rocked the limo just a minute beforehand. Echoing the demands again, and bringing with her the promised heat, did plenty to reassure Daiya's unsettled stomach that the job was back under...

To her eyes, the piece might not have been a masterpiece, but it wasn't all that bad. Driving by tags on the freeway, now there was something pedestrian to see. Not to mention that hers was so much more legible than the pieces that made her squint so much just to read them, and...

"I knew that 'family friend' gambit wasn't going to work!" Daiya said to her comrade-in-crime once they were through the consulate doors. She had to resist the urge to tug at the irritation on her face, the sensation reminding her of the mole facsimile that was new to her lower cheek. It wasn't...

It was the corner of No and Where, which in Night City was just about any corner. She couldn't say exactly what corner but could drive there without thinking. Most people, she figured, had driven past at some point in the last few days, never thinking to turn in. Even Daiya would have...
'One of who, sweetheart?'
Sweetheart. Sometimes she really hated this crazy city and its misogyny. If the man thought that feigning ignorance by turning on the charm would work, he had another thing coming. If she didn't first, that was, her stomach complaining every time she shifted in her...

It felt freeing, somehow, to be out from within the enclosed walls of Japantown. The market zig-zagged across the terraces, paper lanterns lighting the way where shadows from the high rises loomed long, ringing the market like giant komainu warding away evil spirits. Going about her...

Now this was living!
Daiya stepped into the press of bodies on the dance floor, merging into the throng moving nearly as one. It was easy to let their passion infect her, let the thready bass of the song guide her movements. Her heart pumped as one with the electronic vibes shaking...

It hit different every time, the moment that the real show began. The limo ride, being the night's entertainment for two Corpos, and her siren's dance to cap it off, that was all the...

Ada's flair for the dramatic almost caused her pink-haired companion to giggle and break her composure early, ruining their contrived efforts for club admittance. The bubbles in her stomach made it feel lighter than any alcohol, scaring away the hints of headache that seeing her...

Anticipation built within her, coiling like a serpent in her stomach and prickling the hairs on her exposed skin. Daiya's heart pulsed to the music, her breath quickening with its beat but calming...
