Hi everybody, welcome to today's rendition of how can I break stories and turn them into something new!

Premise:

A prospective buyer, in the 2140s, comes into a merchant's shop, looking for one particular "item"; the merchant shows off all their wares. The wares range from the mundane, to the mundane-for-2143, to the frankly bizarre - from weaponry to intel to drugs to sex slaves. In PARTICULAR, the buyer is looking for a specific person that they lost - the merchant has it all, or is willing to recommend particular, specialized, merchants. The price, though... The price might be more than the buyer can pay. It's always about the fine print, and the right... interest rate... after all.

Now, I told u/LittleMistressBoots I write cyberpunk outside of GWA, and oh yes I do. So after Mr. u/Aasimar_Audio inspired me last night, well inspired me because my fucked up brain decided to make like a fucking merchant while responding to his very polite comment on Jealous Man (if you'd like a more personal, M4F, dark script, Jealous Man's your boy. This script, this script is just all about business.) 1am no-filter brain, meet 3am-even-less-filter brain.

So yes! This incredibly chatty spider merchant was born! It is A4A because business knows no gender, not really, it's all about the ka-ching. Now, won't you step into my parlor?

​

Ah, there you are, welcome, welcome! Come right in, get out of the rain. Dry yourself off, there you go, my sweet. You look all tattered and worn standing there and shivering. Work getting you down? The oppressive nature of ouroboros-stage capitalist society? The feeling of being WATCHED no matter where you go, and judged for who you are and who you aren't? Well, you won't find any of that in here. Strictly non-judgmental policy, that's what we keep in here. Well, "we". I. That I keep. In here. But, no no no, you didn't come to listen to me ramble!

SO, welcome to my parlor! Said the spider to the.... other spider. Or - perhaps you're not a spider at all? Here, let me take a look at you. ASSESS you a little. I think - you're not a spider, but you MIGHT be a spy. Who are you working for, little skitterling? Let me have a LOOK at all of your augments and see who's watching, or... LISTENING... to us RIGHT NOW.

Oh, so you can absolutely, absolutely go back to the comment I replied to Aasimar with on Jealous Man - link further up there! And track it back to where - combined with cyberpunk - this script was born!

Truth be told, like Jealous Man, I also finished this script in about two hours, (it felt like it took longer than Jealous Man because fuck me but this speaker is CHATTY) but I posted Jealous Man yesterday so this is for today! Anyway, enough rambling from me, you want to see the script! You want to read the script! You want me to get out of the way so you can really enjoy the script! I'll save the rest of this rambly rambly ramble for my personal sub - I have all kinds of free things there, free discounts, free samples, free audio tips just for you beginning recording peoples, doncha know, so if you'd like to check that out, you can -

...return to behind autumn with me.
