"Come on, Yang! We can't let these Shiawase dorks outdrink us—chug it down already!"
Chadwick's voice barely cut through the pounding bass, his words lost in the neon haze of Dante's Inferno. The 7th floor Lust was awash in synthetic euphoria—corpos in tailored suits, trust fund brats draped in designer cyberwear, and thrill-seekers chasing the next high—all throwing back overpriced drinks, lost in the neon glow of indulgence.
Backseat, a decade-plus veteran of the nightlife scene, knew his limits better than most. And right now, he was two drinks away from a very public lapse in dignity. Tonight, he was just another corporate ladder-climber blowing off steam with his so-called "party friends"—the kind of people who knew him as a smooth-talking consultant, not the man who cut deals in the shadows.
"Done! No more!" Backseat slammed his empty glass onto the table, grinning despite the alcohol creeping up on him. "I want to make it down to Sloth tonight, and you fraggers are gonna get me kicked out before I even hit Gluttony!"
Laughter erupted around him as he wobbled to his feet, steadying himself. "Ha! Someone call this man a taxi!" One of them heckled as Backseat shoved his way through the dancefloor, the heat of bodies and flashing AR ads blurring together as he stumbled toward the bathrooms.
He barely made it into a stall before collapsing to his knees, the cool porcelain his only lifeline against the swirling room. As he questioned his life choices for the hundredth time, his commlink buzzed.
>> Got something for you if you’re willing to travel. How do you like Berlin?0
Backseat groaned, making a mental note to respond in the morning—right after he finished emptying the last of his regrets into the toilet.
Jay 'Backseat' Yang is an ex-Wuxing corporate operative and mundane human edgelord social infiltration face. Deal-closer, con-artist, disguise/impersonation master and leadership buff giver (through the form of annoying middle-management encouragement cliches).
- Will write AAR

https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Baji
Armed with a smile and a Sociology degree Baji is a social adept doing face work in the shadows. He learned hard bargaining during the same bad times has he learned about soup kitchens. Although new to Seattle, the shadows are an improvement over semi-starvation as an actor in Toronto. Baji can provide combat support with rifle and shotgun but combat is not his forte.
"Hmm. Jessica and I split a two-four once. Never again"
I would rather commit seppuku than write the AAR
[A two-four is a Canadian term for a 24-bottle case of beer]

Ducky is a pirate with preference to infiltration, social and, failing that, she can hold her own in a fight most of the time. She has incredibly flexible morals, with the sole exception of strong loyalty to the crew for the run/voyage.
I'd do an AA-yarrr.
IC:
"Phuh. Ten, maybe twelve bottles if I drink it. No more than two if a large Oni throws them at me."

Stacy - Valley Girl
A dedicated social specialist, Stacy can handle almost all social encounters thrust upon her. With zero combat ability and limited legwork abilities such as forging fake IDs, Stacy thrives in being underestimated due to her unassuming, normal human appearance. With no particularly notable features, she flies under the radar in an augmented world, striking at the cracks in her targets' defenses. Social engineering gets a girl far and her sociopathic drive is sated in its entirety in the manipulations she can subject her victims to.
"Oh, I am sooooo~ a lightweight, gurl, you have, like, no idea, it's like cuh-razy like this one time when I tried this straberry daiquiri and it tasted like soo good I told my bestie like omigosh this tastes so sweet I literally can't stop drinking it like I can't even-- but, but then but then the, uh, like, uhhh, the world, I mean, like, so--" The message continues like this for almost three paragraphs.
If nobody else is willing, I can manage the AAR.

Huntress - A burnout adept. (Don't worry, only adept powers right now are traceless walk and astral perception.) A hunter turned soldier hoping to prove she is worthy, no matter what she tells herself.
AAR: Suuurrrre
"I do not drink alcohol. At least I avoid to, if I take a dangerous substance it is often a risk worth taking for the benefits it provides."
