Issue #2 [Video/Action?]

[The Vine flickers on just in time to catch one of the robots stumbling back into view, metal arms pinwheeling. Rico launches herself in a moment later, swinging out with that cyborg arm of hers to strike the machine in the chest with a teeth-rattling blow. If it had teeth.]

Ay, cabron!

[There's a large gash obvious on her face, curling from just below her nose and all the way across the right side of her face, up to slice her ear nearly in two. She's got more cuts on her arms, and red blooms across her wifebeater. But if it's slowing her down, she's not showing it. Instead she punches the robot again, this time with her flesh hand. Blood smears on dented steel from where the skin breaks on her knuckles.

Then she throws up her metal hand in an uppercut, and the robot's head snaps back and breaks, small gears spinning through the air in all directions as they're wrenched free. It collapses back to the ground, and Rico just stands there, panting heavily. There's murder in her good eye, and her teeth are peeled back in a sneer, blood smeared over them.

Before your eyes, though, you can probably see some of those cuts knitting together and shrinking, even though the blood remains. She licks around her teeth, then spits down on the robot. It comes out pink, naturally.]

Fucking stay down. Y chinga a tu madre. Asshole.

[Then she glances over at the mirror, scowling.]

Wanted a fucking peepshow, huh? Well you can choke on it.

[Though she can handle the robots, she can't make them crumple like that on her own. It does look like it would be entertaining.] I think I'm enjoying watching you fuck them up more than I'd like doing it myself. It's a good show.

So do what you want. As long as you're having fun--but to me it looks like you're getting carved up for nothing. Lucky you've got your own little robots to fix you up again.
