Just note, these might be confusing as the quip might start in the middle of a "chapter". Characters are random, setting is random, all you can really get is the world building...? I do here. Uh, good luck. ((:

Setting: Futuristic City

Jos shattered a plate on the ground, infuriated.

"You can't go back! Don't you realize your horns will grow?! You'll be put in jail again or worse, actually get killed this time!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Last time was a mistake. I won't make that mistake again."

Jos looked at me in disbelief.

"You can't be serious... Xi, you'll die! I love you but I can't be expected to stay with you if you go on a suicide mission every week."

"Then leave! Go! I don't care. I have to finish this."

I stormed out the door, into the dark, stormy rain. The city lights were still gleaming in the cold night air. People still out and about, doing normal human things. If I didn't have this stupid chip in my head, I could do those things to. My holographic demon horns shimmered in the rain. My mark as a criminal. Parol? Who's that? I skipped that part of town with Jos. All I need to do is kill Ice, then I could go to jail for good, or live with Jos. I probably messed up whatever I had with him. Whatever.

Take down the corrupted and I probably wouldn't have to go to prison. I hid in a alleyway as a patrol of drones passed by, the neon lights dancing on their metallics bodies. I hated those things.

"Hey, you got any Ig?"

I looked down the alleyway to see an old hunched over man. He had dim, short gray horns. Just a bum that probably got caught shoplifting or something.

"Take a hike."

I walked back on the sidewalk and entered a small cafe tucked in the basement of an apartment complex. I waved to the bartender and they nodded me to the back door.

"Well, well, looks who's finally back. And with red horns nonetheless. I do believe they've grown an inch since I last saw you darling."

Pik snicker led to themselves as they ran around the self made lab, tripping over open boxes and discarded papers. Their pink hair fell over their eyes multiple times.

"Get a haircut Pik, for the love of Ji."

"Babe, nothing is touching these lovely locks."

I sighed.

"You get any further with the gun?"

Pik shot their head up, which couldn't be good for their neck, with a wide grin.

"Ah, yes. The gun~."

Pik could be really creepy, but they were my best shot at getting help to kill Ice.

"Here. It's still a prototype, a little baby, but it is virtually silent. Don't worry, I tested it on Que. If he didn't hear it, I doubt any normal pleb will hear it."

Poor Que. (lol) I picked it up and tested the weight. Still a bit heavy, but better than last time.

"Also, since I'm sure you didn't retrieve your uniform from prison, I took the liberty of making you a new one honey. It's even got pockets~"

Pik held up a briefcase.

"Why is it covered in glitter?"

"You need a little sparkle in your life hon. It's not on the uniform I swear."

"Uh huh."

Pik flipped their hair over their shoulder dramatically.

"Anyway the hood included in the case will interfere with the holograms, so you can run around for awhile undetected. And this time, if your going to get caught, get the uniform back."

I just nodded. But this time, I couldn't get caught. I had one more chance at this. If I failed, the city is lost.

Man, this is long for a quip. Anyway, hope you weren't too confused. Kinda cliche but whatever.

I kinda imagine Pik's voice to be Markipliers "creepy" voice. I dunno, made me laugh

Enjoy
