episode 2

[14:24] <Odin> EPISODE TWO OF SHADOWRUNS: IN THE CITY OF ANGELS
[14:25] <Odin> The intro shots of each of the runners has been modified a little. In keeping with her tradition of changing her entire look each time, Chloe's new look is helpfully labeled so the LCD watching can identify her this time around.
[14:26] <Odin> Stonejaw and Cazador get even MORE of an action shot intro this time around, and the suave camera panning turns the both of you into absolute badasses.
[14:27] <Odin> C&B gets to look intimidatingly zoned out in his hacker trance on a white couch, fingers tapping away on a microdeck casing that was old in the 50's, even if the hardware inside is kept on the cutting edge.
[14:28] <Odin> Quadcore is introduced this time around covered in blood like a 20Cen horror movie, with her drones rushing into action superimposed over her horrific visage.
[14:29] <Odin> And Allie? Allie's introduced in a shredded latexy maid outfit that's heroicly struggling to maintain her modesty.
[14:30] <Odin> ACTION TIME: The crew is in a bar, celebrating the success of their last run. (Interestingly enough, you notice that you're arranged as you were when you were watching the last episode, and your champagne glasses have been replaced with bottles and shotglasses)
[14:31] <Odin> The call! Quadcore's van racing off into the night, camera slowly panning out to reveal one of the LA freeways!
[14:33] <Odin> Camera refocuses on a KE station house. The two cop contacts are there, faces helpfully obviously edited into oblivion. For extra deniability, the shadows are juuuuust heavy enough to make the troll and the elf switch genders, and the heavy voice editing furthers that illusion.
[14:36] <Odin> MORE VAN DRIVING INTO THE NIGHT
[14:36] <Odin> Character establishing shots on the way (OOC: That I actually need to do with you guys, but whatever! Show business!)
[14:40] <Odin> The Twisted Sisters club. A deliberately fast-forwarded scene of getting into the club. Long, languorous shots of the flesh on display inside. Bodies, faces, and voices deliberately edited through computer magic to be juuuust dissimilar enough for legal purposes. A quick reaction shot of Allie recoiling in fear from the puppy-girl!
[14:41] <Odin> (A laugh track does not play. Laugh tracks were declared illegal and inhumane by the corporate court, and Dawkins group operatives engage in S&D missions on anyone using them.)
[14:42] <Odin> More character establishing shots with crew members either getting weirded out, or into things. Investigations! Allie slipping behind a door! EF zoning out on the couch. Quadcore retreating to the bathrooms. Cazzie and Stonejaw investigating the main floor!
[14:43] <Odin> (Think interspersed, heavy bass laden musical transitions here, with as much flesh as they can show on display as possible.)
[14:44] <Odin> Dark torture on stage! Allie slipping into something much more clingy! Chloe doing her social investigation thing! EF looking puzzled at the nigh-empty Matrix! Cazador and Stonejaw becoming alarmed at what's on stage!
[14:47] <Odin> Allie slinking her way upstairs! (Damnit Jones, you did NOT have to pan towards that ass THAT often, sheesh!) Stonejaw finally opening his Third Eye to the Astral plane, and seeing the horrifyingly large array of Shadow Spirits! Quadcore gagging on a spirit attempting to influence her, but fighting off the malign influence! Allie seeing the Devil-Man in his office (With ALLLLLL Black Lodge references and parties not even hinted at)
[14:48] <Odin> THE OUTBREAK OF VIOLENCE. Cazador throwing the dwarf! The dwarf casting things! Spirits manifesting! Confusion spell going off! MASSIVE FUCKING PANIC.
[14:48] <Odin> (Music switches to way more upbeat fast paced, ass kicking soundtrack.)
[14:49] <Odin> Bang bang, pew pew, spell casting, spirits attacking, awesome dodging/tanking by the crew! All of this violence, with all the flesh on the margains while the crowd tries to run screaming away from the confrontation!
[14:51] <Odin> Allie ramping off the dudes head, grabbing the bauble, and crashing through the glass ceiling! Chloe coming in out of nowhere with a flying side kick! Her BURNING SPIRIT following her and doing far more damage than her dainty foot!
[14:51] <Odin> Cazador and Stonejaw dropping spirits like the DJ's sick beats, one after the other!
[14:52] <Odin> (Wait fuck. Insert two lines above:) Devil-Man dropping through the ceiling, no editing has been done to make him even more terrifying!
[14:54] <Odin> The violent, climactic conflict between the Crew and the Devilman! Cazador rushing civilians out of the place once it's clear they're in danger from collateral damage!
[14:55] <Odin> Ass kicking! Biff, bang, boom! Shredded latex maid outfit barely hiding anything as Allie delivers the final roundhouse kick! The lights collapsing out of his eyes as the spirit dies with the host.
[14:56] <Odin> Sirens! The crew panicks! Rushes out to the van! Quadcore is covered in blood from a vengeful spirit, and clearly not liking it!
[14:58] <Odin> Racing off into the distance. As the van passes the first responding car, a knowing nod is passed between the crew and the troll. Heroic police response to managing the situation. ParaCop division stating "Without these vigilanties, things could have gone much worse! Whoever these heroes are, they deserve a reward!"
[14:58] <Odin> Crew in the van rolling out. ROLL CREDITS.
