Newbie Mission

"Alright let's go, Sudo will meet us in there,"

Kuroi stands up and walks towards the karaoke room

"I am up first with Don't Stop Me Now"

Misaki follows Kuroi into the room, bringing her drinks and snacks.

"Feels so good to relax," she says smiling. "I have to decide what I'm going to sing..."

When it comes to her turn, Misaki sings "Okaeri" by Ayaka.

She seems to be a decent singer, and is very enthusiastic about karaoke, clapping whenever Kuroi sings, and laughing and drinking between singing songs herself.

After a few minutes Sudo makes his way into the room as well bringing his food and drink and taking a seat, declining to sing himself

"Not exactly a performer, at least not in that sense. That being said, I believe we have some things to go over."

Kuroi is missing a drink, grabs the phone and orders anotherr Tequila Sunrise.

"Indeed we do, now we agreed to give you the Nuyen you missed out on."
"You did do your part in this run, so here is those 50.000 Nuyen"
Kuroi transfers the 50k to Sudo's credit stick
Kuroi looks to Misaki
"And here is your share"
Kuroi transfers the 75k for Misaki/Nebula
"Alright, let me know you if any of you are not satisfied with your share"
Kuroi looks at Misaki
"Misaki I di offer you the half of the 200k, so just let me know"

Kuroi goes through a few songs on the system, and settles on "Zoom - by LL Cool J"

"Now, this song is a real classic"

"I'm ok with 75k. We should make Sudo sing to earn his payout," Misaki laughed.

On her turn, Misaki decided to sing a poppier song. She sang "Fortune Cookie" by AKB48, which is normally a horrible and annoying song, but she makes it fun.

"Just not a singer I guess. Never really was my thing."

Sudo sits back to finish his drink and food while the others continue slightly in a haze browsing various bits of files a few times on his commlink.

Kuroi is having fun

"Misaki, any other plans on how to celebrate our first succesful run together?"

Kuroi lifts his drink

"Cheers chummers"

"Huh, not sure if I should count myself lucky or not to be excluded from your after run plans."

There's a light chuckle as Sudo finishes off his drink

"Of course you are a part of our celebration, why would you not be?"
Kuroi turns to Sudo quite puzzled at the question

"Nothing, you guys just seem a bit more familiar with each other so I don't figure I'll be around to see a lot of the celebration after this."

Misaki shrugs.

"Some other way to celebrate... hm. What are you going to use the money for? I might do some things to fix up my car. After that, we could go on a joyride."

Kuroi looks to Misaki, sighs
"I have got some debt, I have to repay it."
Kuroi looks upwards
"but what is left I might invest in some upgrades, or to improve at home"
"anyways who knows might be good to have a stash for a rainy day"
"Joyriding sounds like alot of fun, I'm in calling shotgun by the way"

Misaki frowns about the debt issue, but upon hearing the positive response on the joy ride idea, Misaki smiles.

"That sounds fun. You're invited Sudo! Just gotta tolerate the Oni taking the shotgun seat," she chuckled.

Misaki ordered another drink and tried to get some sort of dessert, if it were available.

"Maybe. Doesn't sound awful but a few things about that. I'll probably be konked out in the back of the van for the whole thing doing some digging and organizing files on a few things and, this one more important to you. You really wanna drive around more tonight with those trolls out looking around for us probably? Cause we know that rock wasn't there, and they definitely saw that at this point and are gonna blame us since we told them the guys had it."

"I am quite sure Misaki intends to drive in her car, the one she drove here"
Kuroi smiles at knowing he got shotgun
"Sudo you got to enjoy the drive, the matrix can wait it will be there when we get back"

"Blah, you're such a party pooper, Sudo. The job is done, have a little fun!," Misaki said, waving her hand dismissively. She seemed to be quite buzzed partway through her third drink, and though she could hold her alcohol, the effects on her petite and slender body were stronger than versus a usual drinker.

"What are you going to spend your money on? I think you should buy us a nice sushi dinner for Kuro and I, since we broke your booty out of jail."

"You'll forgive me if I'm not as happy as you two are. And don't think I'm not thankful for getting me out of that, I think I paid enough reaching into the literal river styx for a bucket of actual soul water. The souls in that water aren't exactly fragging friendly or happy to be there."

Sudo finishes his drink.

"As far as spending the money I'm not exactly sure yet. Probably rent for the next month at least, but beyond that I'm not sure."

Kuroi looks at Sudo, nearly chokes his drink
"What 50.000 for rent?"
"Where the frag do you live?"

After they are finished drinking, Misaki is a bit tipsy, so he has the car's autopilot take everyone home.

"Let's meet up tomorrow, to hang out or something. I could use some of this cash to buy parts for my car."

She bids everyone good night before dropping each of them off, and then goes home.

The next day, she texts Sudo and Kuroi.

What time should we meet up today?

As Kuroi gets home he showers and goes to sleep.

Bzzzt Bzzzt, Kuroi fumbles out of bed and checks his comlink.

Kuroi texts Misaki:

>>>>> "Give me 40 minutes and I will be ready for pickup, grab food on the way? if not give me 20 more"
