Summary

Bunny Hop has a short but interesting conversation with a very normal fellow technomancer.

Background

During the events of Third-Story Malpractice, Bunny Hop met a strange security spider. Despite being spotted, both in the host and as a technomancer, she was able to negotiate. The woman would leave her alone if she was paid a substantial amount of nuyen and, later on, the two met up and had a discussion.

The Coffehouse Gathering

BHop was invited a defunct host, a matrix coffeehouse, complete with simsense for the full coffeehouse vibe and for the different drinks. Unfortunately, time had not been kind to the poor place. Left run down and dilapidated, the lighting in the sculpting had given way, perpetually bathing the interior with non-Euclidean glare. Patches of fuzzy simsense drifted through the air, isolated sensations that should not exist without their contexts. The heat of a warm drink but not the smell or flavor. The sound of only every third note of soft, background jazz. It was incomplete in very sense of the word.

The Girl in Many Colors (today in grey), sat at a table in the center of the host, seemingly enjoying the bizarre vibes. BHop, mildly perturbed but still interested in the woman, sat down and began to talk with the woman. First, BHop's life was pried into. The events of the run, her motivations as a hacker, her feelings towards the meet. The two sparred verbally, trading half-truths and lies of omission back and forth. Regardless of how they viewed one another, they did seem to have a strange amount in common, both viewed the meat distastefully and held the matrix (or the resonance, in BHop's case) with a religious fascination.

When asked, in a veiled manner of course, about her status as resonant or dissonance, the girl in grey responded with a strange centrism, holding both order and disorder as necessary for the matrix to function. ('Yin and Yang,' as BHop helpfully supplied.) She went into further detail, describing the matrix not as conflux of data but as 'made of us', describing it like a living thing. Her quest, it turns out, is to find a place at the heart of the matrix called 'Garden', a place where its truest secrets will be laid bare. A place beyond the squabbling of GODs and corporations, of trees and serpents. To first find heaven, she elaborated, one must first find a place called Heaven. The location of this was currently unknown to her, she did not even know if it was within the resonance realms or a foundation or somewhere else entirely. Currently, she was looking into a group called 'The Heavenly Host', noticing the obvious linguistic link.

The two technomancers, despite their distrust of one another and the standoffish nature of the conversation, agreed to help one another accomplish their goals and like that, they parted, both promising to keep one another informed should they come across any clues that might lead them to Garden.

Aftermath

BHop has a new friend and the Girl in Many Colors has a new Heavenseeker.
