overwhelm, destroying so sweetly
now, there is a fire in me
a fire that burns
this fire is out of control
i'm gonna burn this city, burn this city

Lucy's about to say that it's cool, she's got savings from her job, but--

Yeah. No vendor in Night City is going to take Magisteria credits. Shit.

Being here again-- fuck, it's overwhelming. Lucy's not sure if she ever thought of Night City as home, but it sure feels like it right now. It had been everything to her. Her saviour, her nightmare, her redemption and her corruption. Everything had seemed possible here, as long as you never aspired to rise higher than the gutter. Eyes on the stars, feet in the sewage.

Realizing she's gripping Musashi's hand too tightly, she eases off, and takes in a breath. Yeah, first priority is eddies. Nobody's just going to hand them shit, not like they did in Magisteria. Here, if they don't find quick cash, they'll be sleeping under a bridge tonight.

"I learned a few cool new tricks back in Magisteria. I can swipe a few digits from some corpo's bank account, just need a place to work. Should be able to get us a place pretty quick."

She casts a glance down the street, getting her bearings. The nearest chop shop isn't far, and most of them have pretty good location scramblers. She won't need to do a deep dive for a quick hack, but the security is a nice fallback.

"C'mon. This way," she prompts, and sets off, tugging Musashi by the hand through the crowd. "Don't get lost, samurai."
