The Afterlife, Night City.

entering the place, not bad. Blueish lighting, people dancing, drunk people (obviously), the bartender Claire, and in a booth- two women arguing. One was more older, the other was younger, angry. You could hear snippets of it, but couldn’t get in due to the bouncer at the front of the booth keeping you out.

Panam Palmer “No. This trouble, the net around me - you wove it. You know it. I lost everything, through you.”

The girl had her hands on her hips, obviously upset. The older woman, who was Rogue, responded in a “I’m-done-with-this-conversation” tone.

Rogue Amendiares “Lemme be plain. Again. Solve your your own problems, clean up your shit.”

“Do you know what, Rogue? Go fuck yourself.”

The girl stormed out of the booth, shoving past the bouncer. As she passed you, she muttered:

“Be careful who you bargain with.”

When Rogue let you in, and you asked about that girl, she simply said in a bit of a snarky tone:

“Why don’t ya ask her. Might still be around, sniveling in a corner.”

you looked back out at the afterlife, seeing if she was still there.

About Panam Palmer Panam is a nomad - although, maybe "ex-nomad" rings truer these days. She locked horns with the family's leader, Saul, left Aldecaldo nation and moved to Night City to try her luck as a merc. Panam's life is at a crossroads - on one hand she knows her life needs a change, it's now or never. On the other hand, burning bridges with the nomad family where all her friends are might have been a bit drastic. On top of that, Night City doesn't take too kindly to nomads or have patience for people like Panam who are internally conflicted and dream of a brighter future.
