PROMPT 1

[There's a report on the news about a Riot that happened earlier on in the day. Workers at a closing down mining facility refused to leave for various reasons and weaponized their machinery and hunkered down - and were joined by their families. That however was not the story itself. What was - is the fact that a single black and red machine charged right into the mess and  tore a bloody swathe through the rioters. The few people that were still alive were only in the single digits and were bloodied badly. Ryou merely raised his glass towards the TV.]

Here's to those poor sods... I would've never gotten my paycheck if they didn't raise a fuss.

[That sordid implication could mean nothing else. He killed all those people. Say something to this man?]


PROMPT 2

[Ryou's looking through a holographic screen. Several windows were open - what looked to be an online market, as well as something else. It looked like a job-site - but its contents were pretty vicious. Putting down riots. Industrial sabotage. Testing of weapons and technology. The list of dirty jobs were almost endless.]

You know, if you're going to look over my shoulder you can do it a little more subtly. I can feel you breathing on me.

PROMPT 3

[Its battle time! Urban combat as well! Mecha, infantry and vehicles of all description are roaming the streets and the skyline trading fire! Dashing amongst them is AC Nevermore, unleashing volleys of missiles and riflefire! However despite the care he shows for his paying allies, he shows absolutely no care at all regarding civilian life and infrastructure! Missiles impact against apartment buildings, cars are sent flying and explode... people are dying and he's just not giving a damn.]

PROMPT 3 1/2

[And in the midst of all the chaos the Enemy Commander has taken a group of civilians hostage. He's demanding the surrender of all opposing forces or he will kill every one of his prisoners. Ryou is lining up a shot at the Commander - however between his angle and his selection of weapons means that if the machine doesn't explode, it will fall over and crush the hostages!]

[What do you do?]

PROMPT 4

[Its way after the chaos of the fighting. Ryou is walking through the rubble, seemingly looking for something - ignoring several bodies, some of which he was responsible for. There was a corpse, looking to be barely out of his teens - slumped on the ground, holding a gun. From the looks of it he refused to run away and tried to fight - for who it is unknown.]

... What a waste...

[Ryou so far has proven to be merciless on the battlefield, lacking in pity or mercy on and off of it. So why is he showing that here?]

PROMPT ALCOHOL

[The Mercenary pilot is sitting on a sofa, arms folded and leaning back into the plush comfort. On the coffee table in front of him are several unopened cans of beer. He looks to you with a calm and easygoing smile.]

Hey. Maybe we've got some differences to work out. There's stuff I don't agree with on your end and probably a lot you don't care for on mine...

But that doesn't mean we can't share a few drinks right?
