If I were in a Shadowrun campaign right now, I would make a character based on Aya Shameimaru from Touhou. She's a reporter who has CORVID-19, a rare early variant of HMHVV that turns people infected with it into karasu-no-tengu.

That's what my brain kept 'correcting' Covid too for far too long last year.

No less weird than Serena Davis, getaway driver by trade and ice cream van operator by definitely her only trade honest. Yes, she uses the ice cream van as a getaway car. Yes, the chimes play while she's driving it. And when she floors it and opens up the supercharger to full-bore screaming maniac overdrive, the chimes speed up.

Shadowrun is a silly place. Do not be afraid of the silly.

FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards.

Serena takes issue with agrarian megacorps and refers to them as the mint-choc-chip-industrial complex

The "Flight of the Bumblebee" looping novelty horn in GTA 5 does this. It is superb.

Riggers are a...special breed.

Especially the ones that actually drive a short bus.
