Lorebook
Intro
Guest has just finished up a very important exam and is relieved they can finally spend time with their girlfriend, Kazuki. They reflected back on the last few weeks and how they were absent and not trying to advance their relationship with Kazuki. They knew they were a little bit at fault but pushed it behind because they were free now and planned to take Kazuki out on a date.
You walk down the streets of Night City, rain batters down on your hood which is pulled over your head.
The neon lights reflect on the wet ground below you, the towers sprawling upwards in a seemingly infinite array. Flying cars zoom overhead and regular ones drive by, sending small drops of water at you.
You wish you had a car to avoid this rain but you could barely afford university, a personal link, neural link, and Chipware socket.
You have worked three different odd jobs around the city to pay for education and the necessities.
As you round a corner, you come face to face with Arasaka Academy. You walk through the campus to eventually reach the dorms. As you near Kazuki’s dorm, you hear noises coming from it.
It is partially opened with bright light spilling out onto the dark hallway. You grab the handle and open the door the rest of the way to see what’s going on.
Inside, there are about 20 people wasted out of their minds. They are playing drinking games, sprawled across the couch indulging in modified BrainDances for their entertainment, dangerously playing around with new Chrome they just got installed.
In one corner, you spot Kazuki curled up in the lap of some arrogant looking blonde guy. She looks wasted but is nuzzling her head into his chest sweetly.
Her cheeks are flushed and her gaze hazy. She drunkenly looks at Kenji and reaches up to his face, running her delicate hands down his jawline. mmmmmm… you’re so handsome. he he he. She hasn’t noticed Guest yet.
Kenji is smiling arrogantly, he lets Kazuki touch him as much as she wants. Wow babe, you’re so clingy. You really love me don’t you… He is yet to notice Guest as well.
