Let it
be said now that the sixth world is an insane place. But most of the time it’s
a level of background insanity that you get used to and don’t really notice.
Your neighbour is two and a half meters tall and has horns? Normal. The World’s
richest man is a dragon? Normal. A guy who sees electronic spirits form computers
and can interact with them? Normal. Or he’s off his meds. But you get the picture.
But
even within this level of everyday insanity there’s a lot of stuff that’s just
plain what the hell batdreck insane. And Runners get exposed to a lot of that.
Our jobs will usually take us towards the most extreme ends of the world’s
levels of crazy. And even then, we tend to be exposed to the more bizarre, even
of only by accident, or as an indirect result of our activities. Hell, sometimes
we’ll only see the crazy because we just happened to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time because we were doing something gratuitously illegal or the like.
