Zhackie sat on his longboard as he gave the hundred yard stare into the sky. The last of the stars were beginning to disappear as the sky slowly began to turn orange from the emerging daylight, dawn. He looked at the streets and buildings from the park he was currently sitting on, only to find it was just as loud, bright and lively as you would expect a city to be during the prime hours of the night.
"Ah Tokyo Town, seems this city never sleeps" he said to himself as he took another swing of the carton of milk tea he bought at a local convenient store. A beastly yawn, Zhackie turned his head to Rom to see he was beginning to wake from his sleep. "Welcome back to the living" he said to his foo-dog companion with a smile, Rom responded by getting up and stretching his limbs.
He sighed, still mildly upset about the bounty he missed, and the possible money he didn't get as a result. At least if he didn't sign up for it in the first place it would not be as embarrasing.[i] Water under the bridge[/i] he thought as he finished the last of his milk tea. That's when his Tac Pad began to ring.

Zhackie answered his Pad. "Hello?" He quickly got up, with a bit of enthusiasm painted on his face. "Why yes! This is the Crimson Creeper. Daring, relentless and affordable. What do you need?" he listened, his face changed to one of confusion. "You need me a lost dog, I got that part, my question is how do you live Downtown and loose a dog in Oasis? Ah, camping trip is it. Yes, Aye, I'll be over right away for more details on the dog" He walked in a circle a bit as the conversation continued. "You'll pay me how much exactly? What!? 50 credits!? I'll be there right away!" He hung up, and jumped in the air with joy right after "Yahoo!". Rom let out an excited bark and began to wag his tail as he observed his partners alacrity. Zhackie turned his head to Rom and said "We got a job bud! Let's grab some breakfast and head Downtown!" He said as he began to unload his longboard from his bag.

[b] I walk up behind Zhackie, and sit down next to him.[/b] "I was against everyone in that bounty. I was trying to stop them. Trying to kill the Monarch. I got put in jail in the Citadel. Dont feel bad. That train was dangerous enough with the synth and the squads of robot droids. But they never activated actually sooo......I was pretty much the only problem. Dont feel bad."

As he finishes with his Tac Pad he turns to the stranger, a look of confusion on his face. "How did you kno- oh nevermind" he cut off his question as he began to roll on his longboard towards his new destination. "I'm no longer upset but thanks bud" He says as he rolls past you, tapping you on your shoulder as he does. Rom follows close behind him. "Try to stay out of trouble train jockey" he says back with a smile.

A message pops up onto your Pad. It reads: [b][i]Your custom weapon is ready for pick up at Gunz For Funz. [/i][/b]

He just about bursts into the Gunz shop, once again he couldn't be bothered to tell Rom to stay put and he follows him inside. With his longboard under one arm and a breakfast burrito in the other, he goes up to the desk. He finishes chewing his bite and swallows before he says "Let me see it" with excitement pretty much oozing from him.

Another message pops up, he is now informed his weapon is ready for pickup. "I'll be" he said with a smile. He turned to Rom. "We're getting breakfast at Centra" he said as he began to make his way to the Gunz shop.
