Everything alright?[]
Everything alright?
To: Roxanne Sumner
Hey Rox, how's it going? How're things at Clouds? ----- From: Roxanne Sumner To: Judy Alvarez RE: Everything alright? It's up and down. Mostly down. Tom and I were actually just talking about it today. I guess nothing's really changed...? I got super pissed off and laid into Maiko that things were supposed to be different. Clearly, she couldn't give less of a fuck. She said if I didn't like it here, I could just leave. And maybe I will. Our pay hasn't gone up by a single enny. We talked to Maiko about medical care and paid leave. She said it was out of the question for now. On the plus side, there aren't any more Tygers skulking around. But ya know, I still ask myself every day if it was worth killing all those people... Shit weighs on my conscience, Judy. I'm a murderer.

Everything alright?
To: Roxanne Sumner
Hey Rox, how's it going? How're things at Clouds? ----- From: Roxanne Sumner To: Judy Alvarez RE: Everything alright? No, Judy. Nothing's "alright." Tygers went out and got payback after the shit we pulled. They jumped us and starting pumping lead. Tom still had his upgraded chip, so he fought back. I don't know how to tell you this, Judy... That's why I didn't call. Tom's dead.

How goes it?
To: Tom Caldera
Hey, Tom. How goes it? How do you feel after everything? ----- From: Tom Caldera To: Judy Alvarez RE: How goes it? Fine, all things considered. Rox's conflicted about killing those people, but I don't. The motherfuckers had it coming. Thing is, though... Maiko's not much better than she used to be. She still treats us like trash, as if she wasn't trash herself. What can I say - makes me sad when I think about it. I thought things'd be different now...

How goes it?
I hope you've had a chance to savor what happened there - that you fucked up what was a done deal to begin withl.[sic] We were so close! I counted on you, but of course having your way was more important... and you lost. I know how much you hate losing - I'm glad I know that. I hope that whenever you fix your makeup in the mirror you'll see the face of the person who fucked up not only the other dolls' life, but her own because of your pathetic narcissism. And that you despise it as much as I do.
About Clouds[]
About Clouds
Yeah, I've chilled, and I've finally realized why you needed to make your little power-move and make me out to look like a psycho bitch. It wasn't easy to come to terms with, but since you already planted your flag, can we talk about what to do next? Despite what you said about Evelyn, I haven't seen something get under your skin like that in a while. ----- From: Maiko Maeda To: Judy Alvarez RE: About Clouds Judy, stop pushing my buttons. Now all of a sudden you know when I do or don't give a damn about something? I stopped spilling ever since you decided to "fix" Clouds. As always, you've got a plan to save the world, but you expect me to do it. If you want to do something about it, then by all means. But don't wait for anyone else. Get in touch once you've got specifics. One merc isn't enough. ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Maiko Maeda RE: About Clouds I have specifics. My place. Tonight. ----- From: Maiko Maeda To: Judy Alvarez RE: About Clouds I'll be there. One condition - you'll keep your distance when things go down. That's what mercs are for. ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Maiko Maeda RE: About Clouds I think it's time you understood that you're not gonna decide for me anymore. This is my plan and I'm the[sic] gonna do it my way. You can either help me or you can keep telling me how naive I am for wanting to shake up the system, how everything needs time and pragmatism. But you know what? My patience for that bullshit is gone. Why do you even want me to "keep my distance?" ----- From: Maiko Maeda To: Judy Alvarez RE: About Clouds Maybe I just don't want something to happen to you... or maybe I think you're unstable and that you'll fuck everything up. Your pick. You always seemed to know my own reasons better than me. Why keep pretending?
Sending you something, hope you won't have to use it[]
Sending you something, hope you won't have to use it
From: Maiko Maeda
Hey. Wish you had told me you were dropping by - I found some sketches of your projects recently. They're collecting dust in the kitchen now and I don't even know if you're still into that or if you gave up on it like you do with everything else once you get into something new. I hope I managed to convince you to drop that insane fucking idea, but then again, who I am kidding - you won't. Gotta admit, your timing was perfect as usual - right when I started to sort everything out and even met a girl who not only wouldn't throw me into depths of despair, but actually gave me a glimmer of hope I'd pull myself together, you turned up and reminded me that whatever she is to me, she'll never replace you. Okay, enough wallowing. I just want you to know whatever you get into, I'm out. And remember that mercs don't care if a plan is good or not. For them, it's all about the eddies. Don't be naive thinking V is in this for the cause - it's either cash or some ulterior motive. Anyway, you will probably need a gun and I'd rather it be in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. I'm sending it to your apartment. I won't ty to dissuade you because I know it'll have the opposite effect. If you ever decide you want to meet, just call me instead of coming in through the window with some thugs. I know you don't give two shits about protocol and procedures, but I work there and even though I want nothing to do with it, you'll still find a way to fuck it all up for me.
need advice[]
need advice
To: Lucy Thackery
I have a friend with a doll chip that was damaged by a netrunner. Since the attack she's been catatonic. The chip was fixed and functions normally, but her condition hasn't improved. I'll pay for expert advice. ----- From: Lucy Thackery To: Judy Alvarez RE: need advice Here's what I'd do - uninstall that chip. Just make sure you do it with the proper anesthesia and that she's closely monitored. In any case, you can just bring her to me. ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Lucy Thackery RE: need advice How about a house call? I'd rather not move her - she's been through every kind of hell you could imagine. I'll pay extra. ----- From: Lucy Thackery To: Judy Alvarez RE: need advice OK. I have a free slot tomorrow. ----- From: Lucy Thackery To: Judy Alvarez RE: need advice And? Still nothing?
Help[]
Help
From: Evelyn Parker
Heeeey, it's been like a thousand years since we aaw each other! What's up with you, girl? You still cooped up in Susie's basement? Still with Maiko? Hoping at least one of those things isn't true anymore. Soooo I've got a tiny favor to ask... OK, it's more like a humongous favor. Super important to me, but should be a breeze for ageek like you. Holler back at me! ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Evelyn Parker RE: Help Hey Ev, Mind straight up just telling me what's going on? This got anything to do with your previous messages? And yes, one of those things isn't true anymore. ----- From: Evelyn Parker To: Judy Alvarez RE: Help I need you to scroll a virtu for me. That's it, I promise. In exchange, I'll make sure you don't have to do anything for the rest of your life but art. Let's just meet, OK? Where can I find you these days? ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Evelyn Parker RE: Help Susie's basement.

Need your advice[]
Need your advice
From: Roxanne Sumner
Hey! I had a really weird sich with a client. I met him at the bar when I was offline. He said he'd been coming to me exclusively for a few months and that he wanted to get to know me. We talked a lot. He's a corpo. He said his job isn't that different to mine because he also has to put on an act all day. Like, he has to play golf with his boss, who he hatesor whatever. He seemed kinds nice. Now he wants to meet up outside of Clouds. What do I do??? ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Roxanne Sumner RE: Need your advice Take him to Lizzie's so we can keep an eye on you, just in case. And keep a stunner on you.

Actor[]
Actor
To: Evelyn Parker
Hey Ev, I'm looking for a BD actor - client wants as little chrome as possible. Age doesn't matter. Know anyone who'd be up for it? Eddies aren't spectacular, but they're not terrible either. ----- From: Evelyn Parker To: Judy Alvarez RE: Actor I'll ask. From: Judy Alvarez To: Evelyn Parker RE: Actor That's it? Two words? Everything alright? ----- From: Evelyn Parker To: Judy Alvarez RE: Actor I dunno, Judy. Everything's been nagging at me lately. Starting to think I wasn't made for this. Sleazy clients, porn, piss-poor conditions, shitty eddies. Wasn't meant to turn out like this. We deserve more, don't we?
I fucked up[]
I fucked up
Hey Jude, Sorry about earlier today. I was pissed at Susie and you took the flak for it. ----- Judy Alvarez[sic] To: Evelyn Parker RE: I fucked up I know you. Know how you work. But you played the wrong hand. ----- From: Evelyn Parker To: Judy Alvarez RE: I fucked up I know :P ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Evelyn Parker RE: I fucked up Talk to her again once you're both chilled. I'm sure it'll be fine. ----- From: Evelyn Parker To: Judy Alvarez RE: I fucked up I doubt it.
Compensation[]
Compensation
I'd like to explore my options about an unlawful juvenile detention when I was sixteen years old. I'm pretty sure I'm owed some kind of compensation. I'm looking for a lawyer who can take on this case for 10% of the awarded sum. ----- From: Sidney[sic] Roberts To: Judy Alvarez RE: Compensation Hello, can you please provide more details? How are you so sure the sentence was unlawful? ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Sydney Roberts RE: Compensation I was convicted for stealing a fire truck and for the illegal use of property belonging to the fire department. Except I didn't steal that truck. I found it in a scrapyard and fixed it up. It took me half a year, but when I was done it looked better than factory new. They busted me on my first ride. Nobody believed that I didn't steal it. ----- From: Sydney Roberts To: Judy Alvarez RE: Compensation Winning compensation from the city council is extremely difficult and in my opinion not worth the trouble. ----- From: Judy Alvarez To: Sydney Roberts RE: Compensation So you don't believe me either. Thanks for nothing.

Please forgive me
Ugh, Evie. I can't believe you're not here anymore. I regret everything I did. And everything I didn't do. Why did I help you with the braindance?! Why did I let this gonk heist happen? Why didn't I see what you were up to until it was too late? Why didn't I protect you? I let you down and I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life.
