Chapter Text
[10:00 PM: MEGA CITY]
Lynx walked down the sidewalk. She lived a double life, sometimes a freelance assassin, thief, spy, whatever you paid her to do, but she was just a nerd at heart — going to internet cafes, and malls, just doing what she liked doing.
For once she was living her law-abiding life at night, as she made her way to the internet cafe. She had a Gaming PC at home, but you couldn't get drinks like they did there. She walked in.
Lynx: Hey Aubrey*, gimme an hour.
Aubrey: Alright, that'll be-
Abrey was cut off, as she realised Lynx already put her card on the machine.
Aubrey: Hey, you don't know if the prices have gone up!
Lynx: How much?
Aubrey: Don't worry Kassie*, they didn't actually.
Lynx: Very funny, Aubs...
Lynx sits down on a raised chair, inadvertently knocking down a white, pink and gold fox mask that was clipped on the man sitting behind her's pants.
Lynx: Oh god, so sorry!
Drift: Nah, it's good. These masks are pretty strong.
Lynx notices the mask looks like a Fox Clan mask.
Lynx: I don't wanna make assumptions, but uh... are you in the Fox Clan?
Drift didn't expect this girl to know about the clan, but he couldn't figure out an excuse.
Drift: Well, uh... yeah, yeah it is.
Lynx: Woah, I've never met one of you guys in person before!
Drift: Oh, uh, I'm nothing special...
Drift scratches his head.
Lynx: Aw, everyone's special in some way.
Drift was flattered by how nice this girl was. He invited her to sit next to him, patting the seat next to him, which she sat on.
Drift: Thanks... what's your name?
Lynx: I'm Lynx! You are?
Drift: I'm Drift.
Lynx: Well... Lynx chuckles I guess both of our names aren't the most common. But who wants to be generic?
Drift: True. You've got uh, a cool outfit.
He picks up Lynx's hat.
Lynx: Hey! She said playfully.
Drift examines her hat.
Drift: What does the Japanese say? My mom was from Japan but she never taught me any of it.
Lynx: Oh, it says "Meow.*" I don't speak any Japanese either. I just used Google Translate.
Lynx chuckles, with Drift following.
Lynx: You're a pretty cool guy Drift... I wanna know you better. Can I have your number and we can meet here tomorrow? Or uh, whenever you've got time.
Drift brings out his phone.
Drift: Sure Lynx, you're pretty chill. And uh, a nice gal.
Lynx: Aww, thanks!
The two exchange numbers.
Lynx: Okay, I better go. Text me when you're coming here tomorrow. You can come tomorrow, right?
Drift: Yeah, of course.
Lynx: Cool, anyways, byeee!
Lynx leaves. Drift leaves a few minutes later.

*Yes, that's the hotdog girl.
*The Kassie nickname is based off her last name Kassandra, revealed through the name of the Save The World Equivalent of Lynx.
*That's what it says on the back of Stage 1 Lynx's hat.
