Just Dance!

I’ve had a little bit too much, much

All of the people start to rush, start to rush by

dancing1

How does she twist the dance? Can’t find a drink, oh man

Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone

dancing2

 What’s going on on the floor?

I love this record Stacia but I can’t see straight anymore

Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say

And we’re all getting hosed tonight, oh oh oh-oh

Howl ~ the interrupted version

I saw the best avatars of my generation destroyed by lag, primless hysterical ruthed,

dragging themselves through the wounded Nexus streets at dawn looking for an angry Spider,

howl1

angel winged cyberpunks burning for the heavenly multi-plexed connection to the

smoking asset server in the Second Life night,

who jaggy and clouded and hollow-primmed and high sat up smoking in the pixdark of

Suffugium cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating Gomi dubstep,

howl2

who bared their brains to Snark under the rusty Iron Tree

and saw Fate (Artemis) staggering on the Last Round’s roof illuminated,

who passed through welcome areas with radiant eyes hallucinating blade runners

and altered carbon tragedy among the scholars of Jessie and Stanford,

howl3

who were banned from the info hubs for crazy

and typing obscene code on the servers of the forums,

who cowered in unrezzed rooms in underwear,

burning their Lindens in oil barrels and listening to the Club-in-a-box through the wall,

howl4

who ate prim sushi in paint hotels or drank Dr. Peppers in Hard Alley,

CPU death, or purgatoried their primcocks night after night

with dreams, with Snowcrash, with internet nightmares,

griefers and drama and endless gray goo,

howl5

incomparable blind streets of shuddering textures and lightning in the mind

leaping towards poles of Ross & Ahern, illuminating all the lag frozen world of Time between,

who chained themselves to TP points for the endless ride from Luna to holy Plum on pre-mesh

until the noise of Dominus Shadows and newbs brought them down shuddering

howl6fix

pixel-wracked and battered bleak of brain all drained of brilliance in the drear li

Just an algorithm

Hello, I am the Clockmaker.

algo2

Who sent you?

algo3

The Keymaker. He said you needed a clock made.

algo4

You’re not what I was expecting.

algo5

They all say that. When do you need your clock?

Before time runs out. Now who are you really?

algo6

Oh, I’m just an algorithm. Like the woman in the red dress.

I’ve been here before

Ahhh…Shinjuku

snapshot_003

You never change.

snapshot_001

Population: 305,352

snapshot_002

And yet here I am…

snapshot_006

…and there is no one around.

snapshot_012

So the question is…

snapshot_016

…where’s the party?

So there I was, again…

…hanging in the old basketball court in Suffugium.

snapshot_036

Dancing to Giu’s tracks…

snapshot_037

with Juana and Lorek and Neo and Sandusky and Apo and Wise and Xeno and Slash…

snapshot_040

…when I started to feel sort of…faint.

snapshot_045

OBVIOUSLY time for some “stimulant”.

The Good Replicant

Damn Deckard!

How does a guy manage to completely drop off the grid and disappear like that?

snapshot_014

I could have really used his help on this assignment.

snapshot_0131

Take out the last rogue Nexus 6 loose in L.A. indeed.

snapshot_022

Well, I guess it isn’t Deckard she needs to worry about.

snapshot_017

It’s me.

The first Nexus 7.

Looks like my ride.

Requiem

How shall I explain the dying that was done?

snapshot_013-copy

Shall I say that each one did the math, and wrote the value of their days
against the bloody margin, in an understated hand?

snapshot_038-copy

They will want to know, how was the audit done?

snapshot_002-copy

And I shall say that it was done, for once,

of what was spent that day.

The Return

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…”

Roy Batty ~ Blade Runner

~

I’ve seen them too.

I was there when the crippled battle wagons limped back to Earth.

One of them carried Perriwinkle.

She was a fleet navigator, and she came back in pieces.

snapshot_043proc-copy

I put her back together again, as best I could.

But I lost track of her after that. Until recently.

snapshot_011proc-copy

She had found work dancing at ReaktOr and wanted to see me.

She knew she would never navigate the stars again,

but she still had a contribution to make.

snapshot_012proc-copy

We had signed up together in the early days at Tyrell Corp.

I went into Medical, she took Astrogation.

snapshot_026proc-copy

It was sweet to watch her dance again, as she used to in our off-duty hours.

snapshot_041proc-copy

Damn this war.
