November 2nd 2064 started out a day like any other for young Alicia Virtanen, her parents kissed her goodbye before she went to school and they went to work as data analysts for the East Coast Stock Exchange. Just like any other corp kiddie she thought her parents worked for the bestest and safest corp in all the world, in this case Novatech (the precurser to NeoNET).
November 2nd 2064 was the day everything went horribly wrong. Deus the mad AI that was responsible for the Renraku arcology shutdown planed to use the processing power of the East Coast Stock Exchange during the Novatech IPO to become a virtual god of the matrix. In short it didn't go Deus's way which along with Winternight and Ex Pacis's actions caused what is commonly refereed to today as Crash 2.0.
As the matrix came down so did the power and school was canceled, the children not knowing what was going on were just happy to get out of class. Alicia wasn't to worried when her parents didn't get home until late since they explained that they'd probably be working late because of the IPO. Three days later and still no word from them though had Alicia freaking out.
Alicia got lost in the cracks as the world went into crisis management mode. It took her a week to even learn that her parents had died during the matrix crash. About two months later her apartment she'd lived in her whole life was given to new employees (since the previous ones were deceased) and she was unceremoniously dumped into the gutter by security.
Alicia had awakened around six months prior to crash 2.0, and she'd already been attending beginner wage mage training so she knew a little bit about her magic. Fortunately somehow it was enough to keep her alive, she wasn't ready to go from soft corporation living to the stark realities of life on the street. Alicia was a quick learner though, by the time she was 13 she'd sold her virginity, stolen, begged, dumpster dived. All things she'd never even knew about before. Her magic grew, but it took a back seat to just staying alive, by the time she was 14 she'd been noticed by the Dragonslayers gang as a spellslinger.
When she was approached by a few of them needing some help with a magical problem she agreed, she always had an awful time saying no to anyone who needed help even when it wasn't in her best interests to help. After a few minor felonies she was brought into the gang fully, which she was happy to be a part of for the protection it offered her.
Being predominantly elf and dwarf Alicia felt like kind of an outsider as the token human. She spent three years wearing the Dragonslayer's colors until a chance meeting with a pair of women changed her life again.
She was out with some of the gang, a little clique's who's (clique) leader was a particularly mean dwarf dragonslayer (the totem) adept who called himself Shank, since he liked to cut people. There was just something wrong about him, he liked to hurt people. Alicia hated him, she looked at his aura once and almost threw up in revulsion (he was toxic, although she didn't really understand what that meant at the time). But they asked for her to help them out, so against her better judgment she caved and went with them.
Alicia was leaning up against the side of a building on one side of an alley trying to look chill while the others were busy trying to break into a McHughs/getting high when a door near her flew open. Alicia let out a cry and almost fell over at the sudden appearance of a human woman with purple hair and an elf woman with brown hair in a bloody hospital gown. The purple haired woman was supporting the elf, but she was huffing a puffing obviously having trouble breathing. The elf held an assault riffle in a shaky hand.
Alicia's first instinct was to help them. “A are you okay?” She asked as the attention of the other Dragonslayer's turned towards the more interesting new arrivals. “Here let me help you.” Alicia said starting towards them before being grabbed by the back of her pants and thrown to the ground. “Well what do we have here?” Shank, the toxic adept, asked with a leering grin.
The elf closed her eyes for a moment before looking skyward. “What the frag did I ever do to you?” The dwarf replied. “It's not what you did to me, but what I'm gonna do to you slitch.” He said pulling his knife and licking it which caused his buddies to laugh. The elf affixed a glare on him. “Was I talking to you stunty?” She asked. Shank didn't even get off an angry retort before her rifle snapped up faster then Alicia could follow and chewed Shank into hamburger right in front of the stunned group. “Now frag off drekbirds.” The elf said her voice dripping with malice. “Before I geek the lot of you.”
These were Dragonslayer's though even though they were mostly mundanes they still pretty much all stuck to the whole find the biggest bad you can and kick it in the teeth motto. Purple hair was trying to get her friend away from them, the Dragonslayer's drew blades and charged, and the elf's rifle spat lead at the nearest one.
Both Dragonslayer's and bullets struck a shimmering barrier that sprang up between the two groups out of nothingness. “Alicia what the frag!” One of them screamed at her. “She's a traitor guys get her!” Another screamed. All of a sudden the stoned idiots were ready to go all Jihad on Alicia's ass. She had known they were nasty bastards but she'd never thought they'd do more then rough her up once in a while. But with their leader dead they were out for blood (the kamikaze they'd been huffing wasn't helping their decision making process any either.
“I'm going to cut you open and wear you like a hat!” One screamed at her as they came after her. It was ridiculous but it galvanized her resolve. Alicia held out her hand and cast another spell, this time a bolt of lightning arced out from her fingers. Between the back wall of the McHughs and the physical barrier Alicia had erected there was nowhere for them to dodge. So they fried, the smell of their burning flesh filling the alleyway. Alicia, who'd never killed anyone before, promptly turned on side from where was still on her butt and puked her guts out.
She was still puking when the pair of women were standing over her. “Good job kid.” The elf said sounding weak, the adrenaline she was running on apparently starting to run out. “You want a job?” “Hey I can't...To late.” The purple haired girl said as guards spilled out of the door and opened fire on all three of them. Alicia distinctly heard an order to “kill them all.” not recognizing the thugs and her being part of them all she quickly channeled mana again to form a dome shaped barrier around the door. The three women didn't spend anymore time messing about after that and escaped after purple hair found them a car and hacked her way into it.
The women introduced themselves as Tequila the elf and the purple haired one was Pandora. Later that night they arrived at the runners safe house. Tequila was exhausted and it showed so she kinda motioned at Pandora, then at Alicia then walked into a room and shut the door where she didn't come out for two days. Mostly she slept but Alicia could hear her crying to.
Pandora explained the gig to Alicia who accepted gladly. She figured she could maybe go back to the Dragonslayer's but she'd have to lie her ass off about what happened. Even if she managed to convince the others she realized that it was only a matter of time before she ended up dead in that life. Which was a sobering thought considering she had thought all that time that they were protecting her.
Alicia became fast friends with Pandora and Tequila (even if Tequila was a sarcastic and fairly salty). Alicia who became Aero, was a solid shaman for not having any formal training, but she wasn't a very good shadowrunner. She didn't have the temperament for it, and she was kind of scared of guns to the point she wouldn't even pick one up.
Tequila tried to train Aero, but as time went on Aero kept screwing up, mostly by being to softhearted. Pandora and Tequila picked up two other runners who became Alicia's friends as well. They were together for about a year and Alicia thought things were going good, right up to the point where Tequila unceremoniously fired her and would hear no more about it.
Alicia tried pleading her case with Pandora who was co-leader along with Tequila, but she didn't get anywhere because “Tequila calls the shots on the ground team.” After Alicia was all argued out and dejectedly was going to leave (there were tears, she couldn't help it no matter how hard she tried) Pandora offered her a ride.
They drove for a while before Alicia asked where they were going, the only answer she got was “you'll see when we get there.” Eventually Pandora pulled over and shut off the car. “Okay here we are.” She stated reaching out to give Alicia's arm a little squeeze since she really did like the young lady. “I know you're upset right now hon, but this is really for your own good.” Alicia just bit her lip looked up trying not to tear up again and said softly “Whatever” and got out of the car.
Alicia was surprised to see Pandora get out as well and come over to her. “Look up at the sign.” She said with a little grin. Alicia's eyes went wide as she read the sign over the little store front, it read Aero's Arcane Emporium. She was shocked even more at the next thing Pandora said. “It was Tequila's idea actually but we all chipped in on it. It's not cause we don't want you Alicia, she fired you cause we all love you and this is the life for you. Creating things and doing your art.” Alicia cut her off by hugging her tightly tears falling once more. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Thank everyone, please visit me as much as you can okay?” “Of course.” Pandora said stroking Alicia's hair, she might have even got misty herself.

March 5th, 2061
La Ceiba
Honduras
Aztlan
“Drink, drink, drink.” Went the chant as 13 year old Catalina Vasquez dubiously eyed the shot glass full of gold colored liquid in her hand. “What was this again?” She asked trying to buy a little time since she wasn't sure about drinking the foul smelling alcohol. Her father and his friends in the resistance cell were already crocked, they were celebrating the final nail in the coffin of their country. “Tequila Tapatio.” Came the reply, a quality brand that came in at 110 proof.
Her father leaned in and kissed her on the top of the head. “It's okay princess, you don't have to if you don't want to.” Catalina had been fighting with her father against the Aztlan thieves since she could pick up a weapon, to the rest of the world thanks to the Azzie spin machine several countries including Honduras were accepted as member states. The truth was quite a bit different and more complicated. The other corps of course got theirs with the Veracruz settlement but the people as usual got the short end of the stick.
So many of them raised arms and fought for their country. It didn't matter in the end though, and the end was now at least for Catalina and her father. Her mother had been killed and her father had been hurt badly and now could only walk with a cane by a mortar last year. Tomorrow evening the rest of them that were alive were getting out of the country before they all ended up on a slab in a morgue.
“Your mother and I had that on our first date.” Her father said sounding kind of misty. “God I miss her.” Cat missed her to, and she hated Aztlan for taking her from her and forcing them to live a violent horrible life. Her fathers words galvanized her and she slammed the shot down like she'd seen the others do. She wasn't the experienced drinker they were though so she gagged and wretched as it burnt all the way down. There were cheers and congratulations and the like as she gagged on it. She didn't hear it to well, but she did hear her father saying “You are your mother's daughter alright” and was filled with pride.
The second one went down easier, the third easier still...
The next morning when she woke up she couldn't understand why her mouth tasted like an angora sweater and there was a jackhammer at work on her skull. “Hey little Tequila, finally awake huh?” One of her fathers friends said through apparently a bullhorn, or that's what it sounded like anyways. “Ugh stop screaming.” She muttered even though he wasn't, which elicited soft laughter from the men around the table with her father. “I don't ever want to hear that word again.” She said before stumbling to the bathroom. That of course was a mistake to say, after that the name stuck. It's now something of a badge of honor for her.
Before they were to get to the ship that was going to get them out of Aztlan, Alejandro (Cat's father) got a text message from one of their friends who they hadn't seen in months and thought was dead. It sounded sketchy but Alejandro and company weren't ones to turn their back on a friend. The meet turned out to be an Azzie trap though, which wasn't a huge surprise. A firefight erupted, which honestly the chance to geek a few more Azzie's before getting out of the country didn't sound bad to them. Things started out good at first, went to bad, then went to worse.
In the end only five of them made it to the ship out of twelve that started. Two of them ended up sacrificing themselves so the others could escape. The name Tequila went from a silly joke, to a badge of honor for young Catalina that night.
Catalina and her father found themselves in Boston UCAS when it was all said and done. The other three went in different directions just in case the Azzies came looking for them so it would be harder to find them all.
Neither Cat nor her father spoke English very well, though being young Cat acclimated better then her father did. Life in the Roxx wasn't to much different then the life they lived in Honduras to be honest, with the exception of not being able to grow your own food. Alejandro was a good man, but all he knew was farming and fighting. One of those skills was of little use in the sprawl, the other, well he was past his best days at that. Still he did whatever he could to put food on their table. Cat helped to working whatever menial labor jobs a kid her age could get.
About six months after they immigrated to Boston Cat met the girl who would be forever her best friend and partner. Though she didn't know it at the time when she was pulling a shy nerdy girl out of a puddle some punk bullies shoved her into. She then proceed to wear the offender out with a chunk of concrete she found down that alley causing his tough guy friends to run like bitches.
They were friends through it all, through the two times their parents tried dating, through bad girlfriends, through failed runs. Through all the ups and downs life threw at them. Though they never tried dating each other since they were really more like sisters.
Cat was there the whole time at Cindy's bedside after the attempt on Cindy's life by the Hacker Hunter killer. The hacker hunter was seriously lucky she managed to disappear because if Tequila or any of her contacts had caught her, Tequila was going to run her through a wood chipper feat first for what she had done. She's still got feelers out trying to find the evil slitch to this day. Cat put every cent she'd saved towards Cindy's recovery.
Almost a year ago Cat started dating a woman she met at a coffee shop. Cat would stop in in the morning to get a latte for Cindy, who by that time had recovered enough that she could eat and drink normally, as well as bitch about the hospital food. Vanessa stopped in before work for a coffee, they both took theirs the same way, it led to some chatting, then some flirting, and eventually to serious dating.
Cat never really asked or found out what Vanessa did, though Cat inferred that Vanessa was a doctor of some sort. Cat never really talked about that, because it would come back to “and what is it that you do sweetie?” “oh I'm a professional criminal darling”. She didn't figure that conversation would have went in a positive direction. Eight months into their relationship Cat knew she loved Vanessa, she was going to ask her to marry her. Cat even had a ring picked out, she was all but certain she knew that Vanessa was going to say yes.
The problem though was that Catalina was flat broke, she'd put every cent of what she'd earned in a rather successful career in the shadows into Cindy's hospital bills. That and more, she'd sold off a lot of ordinance she'd acquired and done what jobs she could on the side. It wasn't one sided of course, it had cost Cindy everything as well.
If she was going to marry Vanessa though, Cat had to go straight, which the irony of that was kind of humorous to Cindy. That meant that they needed a big job pronto, maybe they could even go straight together they both had pretty solid fake sins.
After a while the big job came along, it involved hitting an EVO secret research facility and destroying their new genetech goodie before it went to market and extract the lead scientist. They'd been out of the game for a while, but they still had rep enough to hook up with some old runners they knew, and were forced to grab some ones they knew only by their limited rep. Tequila was way to excited to see this happen so she pushed through on it even with Cindy's doubts about the newbies.
The first half of the run went okay, the second half turned into a Greek tragedy. Pandora (Cindy) ran matrix overwatch as usual since she wasn't much of a ground operative with her crap lungs. Tequila led the infiltration team. The plan was for fng (fragging new guy) 1 and old runner 1 to plant explosives in the server room. Fng 1 was supposed to be a demolition expert, old runner was there to babysit/watch his six. Fng2 and Old runner 2 had the job of taking the security center to put a stop to anything that Pandora couldn't do through the matrix. Tequila's job was the grab the scientist and extract them. They didn't know who it was exactly, but had been assured they'd be the one there late (Pandora red flag number 2).
Fng 1 and Old runner 1 were about halfway done setting the explosives, though Fng 1 was setting way to many and Fng2 and Old runner 2 had taken the security station with minimal resistance. That just left Tequila who had found the office she was looking for and quickly bypassed the lock with a card she'd snagged from one of the guards.
She came in with a narcojet pistol pointed at the woman who's back was towards her, thinking huh her hairs the same color as Vanessa's as she said. “Stay quiet and turn around or I'll shoot you. No sound or quick movements understand?” The woman turned around...Remember what I said about Greek tragedy before? Vanessa was the head scientist. Vanessa's confusion quickly turned to anger as Tequila's heart jumped out of her chest. It was all wrong. How could this be?
Tequila tried in vain to calm Vanessa down saying how it was all a big mistake and she tried to radio to the others to extract. As she was saying it over the comms Fng one cut over her with a what the fra... He didn't get to say it all because he was cut off by an explosion of one of his incorrectly placed explosives. Just like that Fng 1 and Old runner 1 were both dead. The other two were screaming over the comms seconds later.
Pandora tried to get control over the run while Tequila tried to save her love life. Catalina was an elf, however she didn't really have that whole elven charisma thing going for her. She kept trying to find a way out of the situation that would leave her relationship somehow intact, though she hadn't much time to do it in. Vanessa's face went white when reports flashed across her comm (glasses) of what had been destroyed. She uttered the most damning words Catalina had ever heard. “Y you just destroyed my lives work, t that was a, that was a vaccine for Vitas II. Why? Why? I thought you loved me?”
Catalina's brain wouldn't work, it was like a car accident and everything slows down just before you slam into the wall. She heard a crackle from behind her and her wired reflexes threw her into movement, but she wasn't fast enough to escape the taser that smacked her in the back of the neck.
The next thing she saw when the blackness started to lift was Vanessa looking down from above at her. “S sweetie?” Cat said in her dazed state. “Don't you ever say that to me again.” Vanessa screamed at her, her lovely features a mask of pure rage, tears spilling down her cheeks. “You ruined me and it's going to cost an untold number of people their lives, I'm going to ruin you back so no other woman ever falls in love with you like I did. You're a monster.” Catalina tried to say something but Vanessa hit a button and the IV pumped anesthesia into her.
Thirty Six hours later.
“Wake up, wake up.” The sound of the voice was muffled through the blackness, like someone trying to talk through tar. Then there was a stinging pain, which lead to the realization there was a face. “C'mon wake up for frag's sake wake up.” The voice was clearer this time, so was the pain and there was a sound that accompanied it. A slap. The voice, was it familiar? Then there was a prick, and and a sound like rushing waves sorta kinda, then the blackness turned to blinding light.
“Whadrek?!” Catalina exclaimed as she came back to consciousness somehow sitting upright. Even though she had no recollection of doing so, or being on bed, in a hospital gown? Pandora was there pushing her rifle into her hands, muscle memory took over from there. Pandora looped an arm around her and started to pull her off the bed. Things were starting to come back by then and she realized something else. She was in a whole lot of pain of the physical variety. She wasn't sure what was happening just then, but she knew she was in trouble so any thoughts of Vanessa were shelved for the time being.
They made it pretty far, which was a testament to how good a distraction Pandora had created. But before they got out a sec guard spotted them and Pandora shot him three times for his trouble. It turned into a running firefight after that. Fortunately though there were only a few guards left in their wing of the facility. The strain of trying to run, and half carry Tequila was more then Pandora's lungs could take and it wasn't long before she was coughing and gasping for breath. She didn't stop though, she vowed to herself she'd suffocate before she stopped.
Finally they got to an exit. By now it was of course locked but Pandora had already planned for that triggering a data bomb she had hidden in the doors maglock system caused the maglock to cycle and allowed them to get out. Right into a bunch of Dragonslayers...Drek.
Catalina was surprised when this blonde girl tried to actually help them. Of course she wasn't surprised when her ganger buddies weren't down with the whole helping thing. Death threats blah blah blah, they didn't have time for this, and that dwarf was just offensive to look at. So he found out what it was like to be Swiss cheese from half a magazine of APDS.
While it had felt good, Tequila quickly regretted spending all those rounds to remove the dwarf from her sight as the other idiots decided they wanted some to. She quickly did a mental assessment and things were looking bad. She could barely hold her rifle straight, and was sure if Pandora wasn't holding her up she wouldn't be able to walk. Pandora was coughing her lungs out so she probably couldn't hit the other side of the alley.
~Run! Leave me, I'll distract them!~ Tequila shouted sub-vocally over their comms. She already ruined one woman she loved today (whenever) she wasn't about to let the other one die for her. Of course Pandora wasn't going to let that happen. Tequila started to pull Pandora around to throw her away with one hand, the other she started bringing up her rifle. Her wired reflexes were running, but everything still felt slow and sluggish. Then the damnedest thing happened. The first ganger looked like he simply ran into an invisible wall. It would have been comical if they hadn't been about to die.
Then they started screaming at Alicia, who was apparently the blonde girl, and who was apparently a mage. The Dragonslayers weren't real subtle about their intentions to kill the blonde girl. ~We gotta help her!~ Tequila sub-vocalized to Pandora. It ended up being a non issue though as the girl took care of herself frying them all with a stroke of lightning from her fingers.
~Apparently it was her first time.~ Tequila sub-vocalized, Pandora's short reply came back as simply. ~Go, now!~ “Good job kid, you want a job?” Tequila asked only half seriously, the adrenaline spike Pandora had hit her with was starting to wear off and Tequila was pretty sure she was going to pass out. “Hey I can't...To late.” Pandora said between gasps for breath as guards busted out the door opening fire. Tequila got winged by a bullet and didn't expect to live. Blonde girl saved their hoop again though with another one of her barrier spells.
The rest as they say is history.
Pandora Real Name: Cindy Williams

Ht: 5'7" Wt: 124
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Metatype: Human

Notes:
Her avatar is a woman in a black dress that has a purple sheen to it when it moves, she wears a veil and has long black hair the color of a star field (like Donna Troy's costume). The woman has an ornately engraved box (which her attack programs come from).
“Alright, alright already, if it gets you to stop pestering me I'll tell you a little about myself. It's really not all that interesting...” Pandora sighed softly. She knew it was just Alicia's way of bonding with her but she didn't really like to talk about herself to much, it felt awkward. “Well I was born in '48, I built my first computer in '58, and my first 'deck in '62 back in the good old days of the wired matrix.” She shrugged. “Yeah I was a nerd, still am I guess. I mean you know I'm asthmatic, so not being able to breathe leads to a more sedentary lifestyle so I like focused on computer stuff, since I can run around as much as I like in the matrix. Well that's what I thought when I was a kid anyways.” She licked her lips and shrugged. “So yeah.”
“C'mon go on, I like hearing about you.” Alicia said with a warm smile, she was just so sweet that Pandora couldn't really say no. “Well I uh, I used to always watch Wyrm Talk, oh.” She paused seeing that Alicia was a bit to young to remember it. “It was Dunkelzahn talking about dragons and stuff. I was so sad when he died.”
“Anyways I met Tequila in '61, her and her mother moved into the same building I lived in. We were about the same age and y'know we started hanging out together a little bit, her dad died and she needed someone and we went through kid stuff and stuff...I dunno I don't want to talk about her to much that's for her to say y'know? She's kind of a private person. I guess just suffice to say she's the most loyal person I've ever known and I'd do anything for her, and she for me.”
“I'm surprised you two didn't ever hook up.” Alicia said. “You're both lezzies, and you apparently were together a lot?” Pandora thought about that for a minute, like it had never entered her thoughts before. “She is lovely.” “So are you.” Alicia interjected which made Pandora smile. “Thank you hon, it's always nice when a pretty girl like you thinks you are as well.” Alicia beamed at the compliment. “I don't know, I guess we were to young for that sort of stuff when we met, and y'know more like sisters really...So yeah...”
“Uhm...” Pandora said, to which Alicia replied. “Uh uh. You're not getting off that easy girl. So do you got one of those wiz brain comlinks or whatever you call them in your head?” Pandora visibly flinched at the mention of the right side of her head. “Did I uh say something wrong?” Alicia asked picking up on the decker's discomfort.
After a long while of uncomfortable silence Pandora finally spoke again. “It's, it's not you, I made a mistake, a bad one, and it cost me.” She said looking out the car window and licking her lips. “Sweetie if you don't want to tell me about it, it's okay, but y'know I'm hear for you.” Alicia said and gave her knee a soft reassuring squeeze. “It's okay, you're my friend, I can talk about this stuff to you.” Pandora said sounding like she was more convincing herself then Alicia.
“It's been almost two years now, I uh, I met this girl she was pretty and flirty and she was super into computer stuff even though she wasn't very knowledgeable about it. I've always been something of a nerd, I wasn't really good with women.” Alicia nodded. “Yeah I noticed you're kind of shy, but it's cute it works for you.” She said giving her a smile. Pandora did her best to muster a little smile back. “Well this girl, she was calling herself Erika at the time, stroked my ego like a master and wrapped me around her little finger. It wasn't long before I was totally in love with her.”
“But I didn't know her at all. We went back to my flat one night after a date and I invited her up, and things were getting hot and heavy, I thought we were going to make love. Instead she clocks me with an elbow across the jaw that dropped me to the floor, I'm dazed, my vision's swimming, I don't know what's happening. I'm trying to get up but it's like I'm trying to push through molasses, by that time she was ranting about how hackers had ruined her life and she was going to kill every last one of them. I'm not a hacker by the way, I'm a decker, huge difference.”
Alicia looked kinda horrified cause she knew this story wasn't going to have a happy ending. “Anyways.” Pandora continued having started to tear up some. “I'd been working on the place trying to make it a bit more livable, so there was a hammer in the room, she picked it up and stalked after me as I tried to crawl away. I was crying and babbling, she just didn't care. All I saw was the hate in her eyes when she brought the hammer down, then nothing until I woke up in a Doc Wagon care facility.”
“I couldn't move my right arm, I felt slow, like mentally slow, and I could barely talk. Fortunately that stuff was repairable thanks to the miracles of modern medicine, it wasn't apparent immediately but I also lost whole swaths of my memory. First kiss? Gone. The funny story about how Tequila got her handle that I apparently loved to tell? Gone. Most of my childhood? Gone.” All mine and Tequila's savings that we'd managed to put away to go legit one day. Used up for medical bills.”
“The hypocrisy of it is just unbelievable, since some random script kidey drained her bank account and “ruined her life” she decided it was okay to completely destroy my life. She's killed other people to, you might have heard of the 'hacker hunter' killer?” Pandora sniffled and ran her hand across her eyes. Alicia hadn't heard of that, but she didn't say anything just leaned in and hugged Pandora.
The back door opened and Tequila flopped into the back seat. “Whoa whoa girls, get a room.” She said in her typical smart ass way. “Or at least let me take pics heh.” Alicia blushed and quickly shot back to her seat. “No no it's not that, I was just...” Tequila leaned forward over the seat with a pair of fast food bags in her hand. “Oh I know.” Tequila interrupted her with a grin. “I saw where your hands were going missy.” She said continuing to tease the new girl.
With her other hand though Tequila reached around and gave Pandora's shoulder a soft squeeze and giving her a look that spoke of her true feelings as Alicia was distracted by the bag shoved into her hands. “Now if you want to do it right...” Tequila continued as Pandora started the car to drive off. An embarrassed sounding shout of “TEQUILA!” could be heard as the car drove away.
To people who didn't know her, Tequila was a bitch, but those that did came to realize that she cared deeply and her sarcasm and stuff was a shield. Tequila also knew that Pandora had a tendency towards dwelling on the bad things, so she'd distract her with her antics so she couldn't fall back into the bad place she was after she was attacked. She loved Pandora and wouldn't let her suffer if she could do anything about it, Alicia didn't know it (and kinda thought otherwise at that point) but Tequila cared for her to.
