TEST DRIVE #11
TEST DRIVE MEME #11
▶ 001. ARRIVAL / CAFETERIA. (NEO TOKYO BASE) .
It happens in the blink of an eye, a dash of time – you're taken from where you were. What you were doing... it isn't important anymore, and slowly, you give up the desire of your normal life. When you awaken, figures are looking down on you from a surgical table.
"Yeah, this one will do. Let's take them to the rest." That's all you see before losing consciousness again, only to wake up in a pod with many others.
"Your questions will be answered soon enough, as I'm sure you will have many," a female, robotic voice says.
Just then, your pod opens in a dim corridor with many others. Your new life is about to begin... whether you like it or not.
This is Neo Tokyo. The pods drain their stasis fluid which wakes each Outsider. Outsiders emerge from their pod in only their undergarments which have been supplied to them, and head to a locker room in the medical bay to find a towel to dry off with and a set of gray loungewear to wear as LILITH makes the final decision in assigning the Outsiders to their rightful teams. If a character has any accessibility needs, they will be found here
It's about then they will feel a sharp pain at the back of their eyes, almost like there’s a foreign body lodged on the inside of their head. This pain will subside quickly as their body adapts to the changes, but there will always be a sensation of something being not quite right; that their bodies have been changed forever. They would be correct in thinking that. In the pods, all Outsiders have been surgically fitted with ocular and brain implants that will enable them to communicate with LILITH and the rest of the crew, as well as providing them the information they require. Almost like a computer screen has been loaded into their brains, they will see a loading screen as the implant completes its download. A questionnaire will then pop up, waiting for their answer. A voice, robotic and feminine, will also read along in their brain for them.
█ █ █ LOADING COMPLETE … BEGIN ORIENTATION …
Outsiders will receive a quick debrief about their situation: they will be told that the year is 2279 and they have been taken to Neo Tokyo, one of the last bastions of mankind in a world terrorized by various Kaiju and monsters. Only a third of the population remains, and LILITH has gathered talented people from other dimensions here as a last ditch effort to save humanity. Outsiders are free to continue asking LILITH questions through their implant, but there’s no guarantee that they will provide them with a straight answer …
Outsiders will also notice an implant in their dominant wrist. This implant has a barcode in it that will enable them to purchase goods from the local stores in Neo Tokyo. They will receive a starting balance of 15,000 KRYPTOS (about USD 100), which is barely enough for a few good meals, groceries, and supplies. They can view their current balance through a hologram window projected by their ocular implant.
In the cafeteria area, food is being served. The kitchen can be seen and a few robots are busy stirring pots and preparing the dishes. The current offerings are cold soba with questionable sauces, leftover sand crocodile skewers, artificial rice and sweet shaved ice. As most robotic staff have been directed to finish rebuilding parts of the base, Outsiders will also be encouraged to make their own food. The recipes will all be made available on their oculars, but considering these meats come from various sources, they’re not all guaranteed to be tasty.
With SYNTHIA alongside them now that they are back to Neo Tokyo, she is happy to chime in.

▶ 002. RETURN TO NORMALCY?
As a result of a successful mission, the agents of LILITH begin to recover from their month-long ordeal. Commander Shiro has passed away due to the Sumerian flu while the rest of the team has successfully recovered. Captain Yamakawa has just been promoted to Commander in a brief ceremony, and anyone who would like to pay respects will find that Shiro has been cremated, and a memorial for him will be found for him at the Greenhouse. There is a lot to process and it will require time, but time is not something they can afford in this world. Research and missions must resume before the next threat approaches. Commander Yamakwa instantly heads to a RESTRICTED AREA of the base. She is going to be working hard during this time.
As far as the Neo Tokyo base, the most important areas have been constructed and reinforced but Outsiders will see there are some areas (mostly the additional ones) that are under construction.
However, the civilians outside of LILITH who were unaffected by the fever have concerns. They’ve noticed how quiet LILITH has been and somehow, rumors have been leaked on the internet about a crisis among their ranks. This has led to many civilians becoming anxious while others have decided to take advantage of the opportunity to take over the streets and bully the locals.
LILITH's first task is two-fold: reassure the citizens that all is well and help restore normalcy to the streets of Neo Tokyo.
Outsiders and LILITH agents will be tasked with community service and public appearances to show that all is well. This involves volunteering at the orphanage, helping with food banks, assisting at clinics, and providing whatever aid they can. Additionally, some will be scheduled to do news interviews or appear on talk shows to help convince the public that things are fine. Totally fine.
For those less PR-friendly, they will be assigned missions to take down local gangs, shut down various smuggling rings, and generally reduce crime in the city by any and all means. Some of these thugs have gotten too comfortable while LILITH has been down and they need to be dealt with swiftly.

▶ 003. THE GREATEST CATCH.
It seems while the Outsiders were away, they missed much of the rainy season. Instead of stormy days, the Outsiders will have to endure high temperatures and humidity. The city is carefully regulating the energy grid to prevent blackouts. Instead, they strongly urge citizens to seek other ways to cool themselves like hanging out department stores and libraries or trying out water activities.
Luckily, environmental groups and the local government have worked together over the months to clean up Odaiba Neo Marine Park. Thanks to special water filters and state of the art technology, they have created a small oasis within the city. The water in the immediate area is perfectly clean and safe for residents to enjoy! The locals gather to visit the park and enjoy the sand and calm waters. A popular pastime is to watch LILITH and the local defense forces fight kaiju on the horizon.
What?
That's right! While the waters might be clean, there's still the ever-present risk of kaiju attacking the shores. LILITH will task Outsiders to work with the local coast guard to fight off small pesky kaiju that take on the form of mutated sea life. Kaiju tuna, kaiju crabs, kaiju jellyfish, and more occasionally can be found in small numbers as well as other types of sea-kaiju. Get fishing!

▶ 004. HAKUNA MUTATA.
The kaiju that normally are on the outer edges of the city have grown bolder with the city's defenses being down. More local kaiju like the yama kujira have begun to venture further into the city in search of food. In this case, they seem to be seeking out beetles that have been mutated and begun to turn into kaiju because of the rifts. They bring havoc into areas that are unused to these sorts of intrusions. There are also strange reports of a… meerkat-like kaiju that travels with some of the packs?
Citizens may encounter yama kujira (and the meerkaiju) right in the middle of the populated Neo Tokyo areas like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and more. Unused to being in city centers, they attack their reflections and react erratically to the flashing lights of the city. They charge at cars, buildings, and tear up roads with their tusks and hooves. The elusive meerkaiju attacks with scratches and bites (where did it come from?).
Alerts go out to civilians to avoid boar kaiju and seek shelter while local defense forces try to take care of them. However, they lack the special equipment and skills LILITH has. LILITH will order the Outsiders to take down these kaiju and push them back to the edges of the city where they can't harm the general population. Bear in mind these areas are very much populated so they'll have to pay extra attention to avoid property damage, especially when LILITH is trying to restore their image with the public.
For those less inclined with combat, they can assist by setting up security barriers on the edges of the city. These barriers use electricity and special sonic frequencies to deter most kaiju from entering. There are also surveillance systems that will alert when kaiju of a certain class or size cross the barrier. While these barriers are usually in place, they require regular maintenance due to how often they are destroyed by kaiju. After a month of neglect, some of the systems have to be completely reinstalled from scratch.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: TIMONSUTA
HEIGHT: 60cm
WEIGHT: ???
CLASS: Intermediate
LOCATION: Recently seen in Neo Tokyo
ABILITIES: It has sharp claws which allows it to dig through the ground quickly at high speeds. It attacks by burrowing underground and surprising prey. Often seen with packs of yama kujira but it escapes quickly by retreating underground. Possesses sharp teeth that can easily break bone. Due to its habit of digging holes, use caution to avoid falling into them or it might attack.
WEAKNESSES: If it can be isolated and escape can be prevented, it is actually quite weak.
EXTRA NOTES: Authorities suspect TIMONSUTA might be a rift-affected meerkat from a local cafe.

▶ 005. I CHOOSE YOU, BEETLECHU!
After taking care of the yama kujira (and meerkaiju), the Outsiders might find themselves with some time to relax as long as they avoid beach duties. They can visit some of the artificial parks in the city where local children gather to play the hot new game: Battle Beatles also known as Beetlemons.
Beetle hunting is a popular pastime but thanks to the increased rift energy these days, many bugs have begun to show signs of kaiju mutation. These beetles grow to larger sizes and some of them even have special abilities like greater strength, enhanced speed, light electric attacks, and more. They also develop unique patterns and colors. Now that the yama kujira are gone, it's easier to get bigger and better beetlemons.
Outsiders can join in on the fun. They can stick to the artificial parks like the children or take advantage of their own abilities to venture outside the city limits to find even better battle beetles. These beetles can be trained to fight other beetles or if that's too childish, they can be sold at black markets that will use the beetles for various purposes like traditional medicines or selling them to collectors.
Some of the beetles also appear to have rather docile temperaments and can be easily tamed by people and trained for battle. In general, they do not pose much threat to people but can still cause some harm due to their size and special mutations. However, other beetles that have been subjected to prolonged rift exposure may be more violent and dangerous.

Apologies to our readers. This is the canon with dildos as weapons
So what I'm hearin' is that I need to find the ones you don't have. [ Falling into this rhythm so easily—taking the piss out of each other—feels like taking off his pants and walking around his apartment in boxer briefs after a long day of being decent. Comfortable. Right.
What's gayer, chooms—gay sex, or missing being an intrinsic part of another man's psyche?Vincent doesn't mind it at all. Actually kind of crazy how okay he is with Johnny rubbing up against his body. Keeping him safe. ]Deep fry you? What, with batter and panko crumbs? [ God, he has food on the mind. Where's this gyudon place? So fucking hungry, in so many ways. ] Said it yourself, been here for months. I'm sure you're dyin' without your horde of admirers. Gonna have to settle for little old me. [ Yeah, okay, since they're on the topic, Vincent stops. Gives Johnny a very unsubtle, throughout look-over. Kiroshis going haywire, the sound of a camera shutter going off. Breath hitching. ] Damn, Johnny. You do look like a million eddies.
cyberpunk 2077, the most srs game ever
[Johnny really missed this. Despite all the gonks he's encountered, no one can compete with his ridiculous sense of humor. With the exception of Taryon, Laios, and Vash, no one has been able to break through his icy demeanor. Johnny understands he isn't the easiest choom to get along with, but some of these fuckers just put him in a foul mood. That's why Johnny's been going solo lately.
As for his new physique, Johnny can't help but show off a little by rolling up his shirt to reveal those almost rock-hard abs. Yeah, Johnny's been working out and that waist of his is looking even more snatched. He always looked like a snack even at his worst, but now Johnny is a fucking buffet. ]
Fuck yeah, I do! I can't walk around flabby as fuck in those dumbass plug suits LILITH makes us wear.
[Does the name 'Andrew Lee' come to mind? That's Johnny's alias here.]
Besides, I'm a fuckin "pop star" here.
no subject
Stupid sexy Johnny. Vincent wants to stop staring, he really does, 'cause every second stuck on that abdomen is ammo for Johnny. But, well, Vincent's a martial artist. Knows better than most when muscles are bought versus when they're earned. And Johnny's? Yeah, this ain't a ripperdoc's work. That's hours of blood, sweat, tears, sweat...
(That happy trail? Beads of sweat rolling down that thatch of dark hair, low, low, low onto...)
Fuuuuuuck me... ] I, uh... [ Licks his lips. Mouth so fucking dry all of the sudden. ] ...'m gonna have to call the Us Cracks girls then. Can't wait for your new album: Pyon! Pyon! Silverhand-san ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ♡) [ Yes, he makes a heart with both of his hands. And the face with his own. ]
no subject
[Despite Johnny's best efforts to suppress his laughter, he lets out a humored chuckle. Only V could make this cold-hearted bastard laugh like that. It had been a while since he felt this good in general. While Johnny tried his best to keep himself distracted with the mission, he was getting tired of all the kaiju-hunting bullshit. He wanted to feel alive again, to feel like he had something to offer other than just being another solo with a gun.
It's weird, really. Johnny has been getting more into fitness and writing music more than anything else. He's been using his solitude wisely.]
Don't you EVER, ever, ever do that again! [Johnny manages to say in between laughter. He's still cracking up here.] You hear me?! No US Cracks!
Do I look like Kerry to you?
[He jokes, once again concealing those delicious abs. Sorry, V, but he can't stroll around here without a shirt on. That is absolutely inappropriate for around here. Not that Johnny cares, of course.]
Oh, shit, we missed the turn! [He yanks Vince by the arm to steer him towards the right direction.] The gyudon spot is down this block here.
no subject
[ Truly a shame, that. But Vincent's already concocting hare-brained schemes to see those abs once more. Just give his overburdened brain a minute to catch up. The rapidly expiring hamster on the wheel needs a break. Good time to let himself be manhandled by Johnny, taken wherever. ]
FREAKY FRIDAY TIME!
However, what's all this bullshit about him wearing cat ears? Does V have a fetish or something? Johnny can't help but laugh.]
Yeah, right! I'm not puttin' any cat ears on my head—not for free.
[While V is enjoying getting manhandled, Johnny forgets one little thing about himself here. He can swap bodies with nearly anyone he touches. So guess what just happened when he touched V's arm?
Yeah, buddy. Welcome to some Freaky Friday-type shit.]
no subject
This body is...well, it's small. Mass wise, not height wise. Johnny's taller than Vincent by an inch or two. The tight leather pants he wears? Sensory nightmare for someone who needs freedom of movement to kick ass. The fabric creaks when he walks, compressing him almost painfully, especially at—
Well, well, well.
He gives Johnny—in his body, a dissociative POV of looking at yourself who looks like the other—less than a five second start before he bolts.
Yeah, okay, the rockerboy is working out. This skinny ass frame can run. And shout! ] I'm gonna look at it, Johnny! [ Is this what Johnny felt when V took the pseudoendotrizine pills, becoming a passenger in his own body? Because this shit is nova! ] That impressive cock of yours!
no subject
WHOA, WAIT A FUCKIN' MIN!
[Johnny yells as he chases after himself (weird). This is so surreal. Johnny almost forgot about that freaky ability of his. Truth be told, one of the reasons he tends to keep to himself is because of this odd ability. A few accidents happened before, which made Johnny pretty wary about touching anyone. However, that all went out the window the moment he found V.]
Don't you flick out my dick in public, asshole!
[Thankfully, V is built like a brick shithouse and just as athletic(if not more so) than himself. So keeping up with his runaway body isn't that much of a task.]
CW: Nudity, but in a funny way
Bless Tokyo for all their konbini. Easy as hell to waltz in, unbothered, skip and a hop to the restrooms. Maybe he'll buy an egg sandwich and a beer after this. Might need to celebrate...whatever this discovery might be.
Stall, yup. Needs the privacy. Locked. Wants to stare at it, memorize it. Considers taking a picture of it with his Kiroshis, but nah, kinda scummy. Alright, deep breath, unzip and— ] Oh. [ Welp. Wasn't lyin'. ] Damn! [ Cute mole! ] Nice sword, samurai!
OMG, but CW: for nudity as well
[He yells as he comes barging into the konbini like a bull in a china shop. Despite the obvious differences between the two of them, Johnny can steer this meat-suit well. Of course he can, Johnny had a lot of practice in Night City. That and the fact the engram permanently altered the very brain chemistry in Vince’s head to mirror his DNA nearly exactly. These two were at least 70% merged at the time, so yeah.
Even so, Johnny still wants his body back.
The moment Vince locks himself into the nearest stall, Johnny crashes against the door and rattles it. He shakes it loudly as if trying to take the door off its hinges before just giving up.]
You know what, fuck you! If you wanted to see my cock that badly, I would’ve whipped out earlier!
[He yells before storming into the stall next to…himself. This body swapping business is weird.]
Two can play this game, V!
[He shuts the door behind him, lowers V’e pants and—]
Holy shit.
[HUGE!!! It’s friggin’ huge! Massive, even.]
no subject
70% overwrite.
Vincent laughs so hard he's doubled over, leather pants halfway down his ass. ] Johnny! [ He shouldn't mock him yet can't pass the opportunity to do so. Johnny fucked women in his body. Sneak peak of his goods is the least he's owed. ]
Ha! [ There's a reason why Vincent never bothered swapping to a Mr. Stud. Any idiot who scratched up enough eddies could be hung like a horse. But to blessed with it by nature itself? Blasphemous to go against God's plan.
(Plus, you know, the whole exploding dick recall. Poor Jesse.) ] 100% 'ganic. On my mother's grave.
no subject
[He fusses while carefully tucking Vince back into place properly and pulling those boxer shorts back up. It’s a good thing Vince can’t see him blushing from ear to ear. Johnny would rather toss himself off a cliff than let V catch him blushing.]
God really do be playing favorites, huh?
[Johnny, still stuck inside V’s body, pulls up his pants and steps out of the bathroom stall a changed man. What he has witnessed proved that God hates him. However, this also proves that Johnny has a bit of a size kink and that V is his perfect size. Geez, talk about awkward.]
C’mon, quit playin’ around and give me back my body.
no subject
(Huh. Yeah...)
Alright, enough of that. Before they subject one of the poor konbini workers to their theatrics or a cop shows up. Never in the mood for pigs, especially not after tonight's emotional rollercoaster. He doesn't need a prior on his record.
(Doesn't want to think too deeply about Johnny's sword. Not here.)
Vincent unlocks the latch, then opens up the door. ] Mission complete. So how do I...? [ Imagines the same way they got themselves into this predicament—touch. He holds out his hand, fingers splayed for Johnny to grab onto. ] Whenever you're ready. [ Given how Vincent shook when the swap happened, he predicts Johnny won't be too steady on his feet either. But unlike Johnny, Vincent has months worth of practice on how to handle these attacks. ] I got you.
no subject
If there’s one thing he missed about V, it was the power fantasy associated with that kind of strength. Even now, Johnny isn’t hardly that strong even with his silver arm. Yeah, he can crush some dude’s skull with it, but not rip them apart.]
Mission complete? You dick! [Johnny huffs with a playful little smirk.] I’m kicking your ass the second I’m back in my body.
[Bold words from someone about to temporarily “pass out” here. Johnny seemed to have forgotten that this bodyswapping business takes a lot out of him.]
Just stand still, okay? [He mutters as he reaches for Vince’s hand. After a moment of slight hesitation, Johnny slides his fingers in between V’s. It’s a strangely intimate feeling, like he’s being slotted back together but Johnny doesn’t jerk away from the contact. In a matter of seconds, his consciousness fades briefly and everything hits him like a whirlwind. One minute he’s in V’s body and the next he’s back within his. It’s like getting hit by a tsunami of thoughts, feelings, and sounds. One minute he’s there and the next he isn’t.
Johnny’s body slumps backwards after the contact, briefly out of commission as Johnny’s consciousness returns home. His fingers start to slip from V’s grasp.]

He's convinced he only got into meditation because the alternative was to go insane. Thank God for the Zen Master. ]
Love to see you try. [ Because yeah, he's confident he'd win this one, the guy who ripped Adam Smasher apart with his bare hands. Something incredibly affirming about not needing swords, hammers, guns and whatever the fuck to make his mark through Night City. Just Gorilla Arms and a dream. ]
Yeah, yeah. [ It is intimate, but not for the reasons Johnny cites. He squeezes Johnny's hand a second before the swap happens. An out of body sensation, like when one jerks awake at night, then a stalling and a sudden jolt as your own body's systems kick back in. Fascinating how RELIC REMOVED, ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL is the system message his OS throws out. Still thinks Johnny is the Relic. Why wouldn't it? ] Hey. [ He wraps his arms around Johnny so he doesn't eat shit and hit the tile face first. Cards his fingers through his scalp to keep him grounded. That always helped his nausea when his mom did it. ]

Bodyswapping is an unusual side effect of being an engram; however, it may be easily reversed by merely touching the subject again. There is a lengthy cooling period between how many times Johnny can switch bodies with someone. That's a good thing in his opinion; Johnny, in particular, would hate for something like this to happen during sex or something similarly significant. That would just ruin his damn day.]
Hey. [Johnny mumbles as he curls his arms around Vincent's waist. He feels sick right now, a brief wave of nausea. This whole body-snatching bullshit isn't exactly new but it floors him every time he does it. Thankfully, this time he has V here to keep him grounded.]
God, I fuckin' missed you. [He mumbles while leaning into V's touch.]
no subject
Vincent doesn't give a shit. Johnny's Johnny. Sounds like Johnny, smells like Johnny, feels like Johnny. He leaves the philosophical and religious questions to those more intelligent than he is. Always been a man of instinct more than thought. Some things you just gotta feel your way through, trust the animal within you to get right. Stumbles here and there, sure, but so far? Wouldn't change it for the world.
It got him Johnny, didn't it? ] Yeah, me too. [ They're hugging all lovey-lovey at a konbini bathroom. Not the most romantic of places, but Vincent will take what he can get. Because this? It's already so much more than he thought he was going to get.
If you love them, set them free. Hadn't understood that saying, thought it mawkish and a platitude, until he stood inside Mikoshi, staring at both Alt and Johnny, stuck between two choices, both equally unpleasant—let Johnny keep his body, or let him go with Alt through the Blackwall. In the end it hadn't mattered too much. He'd always done what Johnny wanted. But it hadn't prepared him for how much it'd hurt to respect Johnny's autonomy, to watch him leave. To know it was the right decision yet carry a soul-deep wound where Johnny used to be, leaving words unspoken because to say them meant driving that knife in deeper... ] Let's go home, Johnny. We can have our gyudon date later.
[ Date. He swallows loudly, cursing his honest nature. And yet, the more he mulls it over, the more the word hangs in the space about them? Yeah, he doesn't care. Fuck it. ] I don't... [ He tucks a piece of hair behind Johnny's ear, curled finger caressing the shell. ] Don't really want to spend the rest of my day with anyone else. Just you. [ Say it. Say it, you coward. ]
no subject
However, home isn't just a place to lay your head at night but also a feeling. It's that warm, fuzzy feeling you get from knowing you're safe, that no one could possibly hurt you in your little sanctuary.
This is how Johnny feels about V. For him, home was never a place but rather a person.]
I'm already home. [ He whispers under his breath as he buries his face in V's hair.] I'm with you.
[FUCK! Johnny doesn't want to get all emotional and shit but he's already there. He's already at the precipice and there's no climbing down safely without V's help. Johnny wishes he could just kick his ass into gear and get back into the swing of things, but he can't. And to think that he almost died last month fighting fucking Gojira. He would've missed this; he would've never seen V again.
So forgive him if he's a little emotional.]
But yeah, the date can wait. [Wait, did he say "date" as well? Oh, they are on the same page after all.]
Let's go back to my place. I got plenty of room, sorta.
no subject
Thing is? No one ever told him home could also be a person. Someone who made you think everything was going to be alright and actually believe it. That maybe there was hope for this fucked up world. Who made you want to be a better person the better to protect them.
Gets it now, loud and clear. ] Yeah. Me too.
[ He cradles Johnny's head with the back of his hand, carrying them both out of the konbini without issue, flexing that maxed body stat. He's fine, just dizzy, is all the baffled konbini workers get. Maybe some other day he'll come back, get that egg sandwich and beer, really show them how totally-not-crazy they are.
Doesn't care that much. His heart sings at Johnny's reciprocal usage of date. ] Johnny? [ It takes him a second. Words he hasn't voiced since talking to his mother. Whispered quietly at Jackie's wake after putting down his ofrenda, tears welling up at the corner of his eyes, flowing by the time Mamá Welles hugged him.
He's tired of not saying it. Being a fucking coward and expecting people to just know, then getting those people taken away, forever. Not doing this shit again. ] I love you.

This is Johnny Silverhand in a nutshell. He doesn't give a flying fuck what people think about him. Never did and never will. However, he does give a damn about the handsome man carrying him away from this place. Yeah, they'll eventually come back to the konbini to buy some food. Johnny is actually a regular here, so that explains why the staff looks so baffled to see him like this. Usually Johnny is just scowling and grumbling like some grumpy old boomer, but today it's different.
He's actually smiling for once. Not because he has V back but because he knows V loves him. Of course, he always knew but hearing it is a different thing altogether. Words are just words, right? Wrong. Sometimes you really need to hear it before you start believing it.]
Fuck, dropping the "L" word already? [He chuckles before leaning over for a kiss. However, before their lips could meet, he whispers the following:
I love you too, Vincent.
no subject
(Relationship. The knowledge of his choice sits like a stone in his chest, summoning him home, to a purpose when his whole life he only went through the motions, surviving instead of thriving.)
Don't make fun of me, asshole! [ But Vincent's smirking, teeth pressed to his lower lip as the anticipation builds, staring at Johnny smitten. Is that...?
Yeah, it is. Pressing in, also not giving a fuck what people might think, kissing Johnny (kissing! they can touch!) with a gentle ardor, tentative at first then growing in boldness. If the konbini guys get a show, whatever. Local Nikkeijin strikes gold in love.
Letting Johnny go was the right decision. He came back. Solid, whole. Doesn't give a shit about this end of the world business, to be honest. They can handle anything together. Bring on the kaiju. Throw in Arasaka again for good measure.
Maybe Tokyo won't be so bad after all. ] You know what this means, right? [ Snerk. ] Hope your walls got good soundproofin'.
no subject
Mhm. [He hums gently against Vincent's lips, clearly admiring the feel and texture before eventually pulling away. Yeah, he's finally home. Everything is right with the world except for the kaiju part. Man, fuck the kaiju! As long as he has V by his side, Johnny will fight those ugly damn lizards every chance he gets.
This is just the motivation he needed after getting his ass handed to him last month. Gojira better be on his best behavior from here on out, cause Silverhand is back!]
Soundproofin'? [He arches his brow a little.] Pfft! You think that big old dick of yours is enough to make me scream?
[Silly, V. It's not the size of the canoe that matters but rather the motion of the ocean.]
Dream on!
no subject
So yeah, Vincent might be a little touched starved here. Alright, not little—a lot. It's been months of pent up sexual frustration. And Vincent's making sure Johnny pays for every torturous glance and gesture he's put him through. With interest. ]
Famous last words, Johnny. [ Silverhand really thinks a martial artist doesn't know how to use every part of his body for maximum efficacy? Dumbass. What is he, a straight dude? Fuck no hell no. Plenty of flings before. Peeps aren't exactly shy about propositioning him—all the cougars throwing themselves at him should've proved that to Johnny. Meredith wasn't the only one, just the pinnacle of cougardom—rich corpo suit.
(And flings are not the same as something serious though. He suspects the level of intensity here will be much, much more. They might just break that bed.)
Time to pivot. Really dial up on the psychological warfare. ] Maybe you're right. Don't think you can take it. Maybe we should stick to braidin' each other's hair and talkin' about boys.
no subject
I've taken bigger dicks than yours, buddy! [No, he hasn't but Johnny doesn't give a damn.] I've fucked and sucked enough cocks to know you're nothing special. I can take it just fine, dipshit.
[Yeah, he's a trooper, V! Don't you underestimate this living legend. He's a bonafide Casanova with a silver tongue that's seen plenty of action throughout the years. Thankfully, he doesn't feel the need to brag about all his past conquests. Nah, not tonight.]
I'm gonna laugh if you blow your load first.
CW: Sexual Themes (We're making Johnny wear a Mature 17+ sign from now on, just in case)
But then there's Johnny. The hub all other spokes rotated around, much to the chagrin of members like Kerry, the undisputed soul and sex symbol of SAMURAI. Surely not everyone wanted to fuck Johnny Silverhand, Vincent said to himself, like a dumbass, one night after popping a bunch of omega blockers because Johnny was driving him insane with his insatiable libido. After a whole Arasaka Tower and Mikoshi firebombed, however, he has to admit: he gets it now. The tapeworm is ungodly, infuriatingly charismatic. If the tapeworm wants to go blow up Militech next, well...
We salute you! ] "Here Lies Johnny Silverhand: Fucked and Sucked His Way To Glory." [ Herculean task to keep a straight face, obvious by how pinched his crow's feet are. ] 'Cause that's what's gonna happen, Johnny—I'm going to fuckin' kill you, in the French sense of the term. [ Now he's smiling, gently, the same way he does before tearing through a pack of gonks. ]
yeah, we might as well label johnny as "mature 17+" content lol
