Zone C -- Megacity One

[Strazio Rockwell]

What a fucking bust. Strazio scowled and smacked the screen of his Syntech tablet. The shattered screen danced and flickered, revealing glitched-out lines of red and green. First a faulty item drop now half of the map was gone. The Avatar of Rage held the device as one might hold a frisbee and looked down the street. A half-dressed manikin stood advertising an outfit that consisted of a padded jacket and a pair of white-laced panties. Strazio snapped his fingers to grab Gamzee’s attention and then pointed to the synthetic doll.

“Betcha ten OM that I can hit that thing’s head from here with this,” he said and held up the busted tablet.

Gamzee smiled and responded, “that’d take a miracle bruh, you’d need some kinna motherfuckin’ sorcery.”

“Good think I’m a miracle worker then,” Strazio answered.

The tablet sailed through the air, spinning like a saw blade. At the start of its path it looked to be dead-on, but about halfway to the plastic human it shanked a hard left and crashed through a department store window. Gamzee cheered and Strazio cussed. For all the chaos that the island brought the two were having a genuinely good time, and were it not for the errant explosion or residual blood splatter they might’ve been able to forget about the Abyss. But probably not.

They huddled over Gamzee’s tablet and took not of a new set of item drops.

“Not much time left,” Strazio said, “one’s nearby and I’m not going to let it go to someone else.”

Gamzee nodded and the two gather their gear and set off in the direction they came. Strazio sighed, he was beginning to feel like he was chasing his tail again. First it was the Highland’s wild ride, and he prayed to not get taken on the Megacity’s wild ride.
