Summary
They’ve only been traveling together for, what, a week now? Feels like longer, somehow, and even though Z knows that these kinds of things don’t last, that almost every shadowrunner he’s ever run with has popped in and out of his life in a matter of days, he wants it to be longer. He likes this strange little crew they’ve put together, feels more at home with them in Xanadu than he ever did in Seattle.
Three conversations that Zenith has in the back of Xanadu, from Peoria to Phoenix.

he wants to know. more than possibly anything else in the world, he feels it like— like nothing, like an absence, the way his head feels different after a haircut and the way his apartment feels different after a bomb across the street blows a dent into one of his walls. he wants to know.
or: who is zenith? that's not rhetorical. he'd like to know, too.

Summary
Dak yawned again, then shook his head like he was trying to shake away cobwebs. “M’tired,” he said.
“You’re tired?” Pox repeated back to him.
Tech seemed to be about a step and a half behind. “But Dak,” he said slowly. “You like… have a sleep regulator. And you slept, right? We all slept at the last place.”
“I know!’ Dak snapped, then instantly regretted it as Tech paled. “I know,” he repeated. “I don’t know what’s going on.”More than one thing about Dak Rambo is broken, and his friends are struggling to hold it all together.

Summary
“Oh I’m not queer.” Dak said.
In an instant everyone’s head whipped around to look at the trucker in utter confusion. Pox didn’t know what fresh bullshit Dak was on now, but she had never met a man who was so open about the adventures his ass had been on.

Summary
Not all family is soulmates, and that’s pretty normal. It’s hard to say what a soulmate is, anyways. Some soulmates meet on the street once and never again. Some get to see each other every day. The only common factor is that when your soulmate touches you, they leave a mark. A color, in the shape of wherever they touched you.
(Or, the crew of the Xanadu is a family. They're also soulmates.)

Summary
Dak just seems to love people, and Tech desperately, horrifically, wants to be one of the people he loves. And Dak’s always telling him to 'be more assertive, dude! gotta stand up for what matters to you!' because that’s easy advice to give when you’re fucking blasted all the time and don’t have anything terrifying resting in your body and the world doesn’t hate you for things you can’t control.

Summary
NeoScum is a narrative comedy podcast featuring five Chicago improvisers antagonizing their way through the roleplaying classic, Shadowrun.
It follows a group of misfits and outsiders: a chromehead decker, a teenage candy-junky klepto, a kid's show wizard with a petulant thirst for adventure, and the nastiest trucker this side of the robo-Mason-Dixon. Join the irascible NeoScum crew as they make their way across a strange but familiar America in 2077, doling out street justice to every deeb they encounter – whether they deserve it or not.

I really wanted to rec this podcast! It's an excellent actual play podcast with wacky antics and some very funny players. It's one of the best examples I've ever listened to of a DM who yes-and's the players actions. As a quick caveat there's a lot of gross body humor? Like pissing and shitting based jokes, so be prepared for that if you decide to give it a listen.

Summary
Zenith has a headache.
Between the sleep deprivation, lack of reasonable provisions, and constant fear for their lives, this is hardly an unusual occurrence. And he can't rule any of those factors out, but his current primary stressor is a little closer to home.

The gang pulls over for some much-needed sleep but Dak won't stop playing his damn phone games.

They have a jaeger downstairs that’s waiting for them. They can smash the kaiju into pieces. It’s not going to fix the wall, but it’s going to make Pox feel a hell of a lot better.
