DOS & DON'TS

We love these East Village tweakers who broadcast public-access TV shows from their mother’s living room in Alphabet City. They are the real New York, and the neighborhood would suck without them. Never go away, Crimson Bernie! Comments/Enlarge | See all


On the whole, do you think society is becoming more or less sensitive to the profoundly mentally ill now that a lot of their care providers are in the private sector? Comments/Enlarge | See all

LARPs OF THE NEAR FUTURE - PART 2

SINergy Take Nightclubbing to the Next Level

WORDS BY BRUNO BAYLEY

As the assailant lay on the floor he was tended to by a medic called Dr. Cecilia Evrington-Wraith. She had a surgery kit that consisted of a manicure set. Unfortunately her hard work was wasted when the bodyguard leaned over her and shot the guy in the head.


Mandell was injured, but thanks to his high armour points and his equally high ability to absorb damage he survived. It looked touch and go for a bit, but he was soon back on his feet and back to his double-hard self.


The guy in the mask was a dominatrix in New Rome. He said he favoured a cat o’ nine tails with metal hooks on the end of its tassels for inflicting the maximum damage to a client. He kept his mask on for the interview, which I found unsettling. He was 16 and a close friend of Chun-Li. It was his first time at SINergy and he seemed to keep to himself and was more into chilling than fighting.


This guy is a surgeon who had turned his girlfriend into a cat. She was very sensual and practically deepthroated my brand new dictaphone while purring. The operation was apparently done in “Chinatown” where “you can get away with anything.”


This is Onager. He was disfigured by a nuclear accident and had to wrap his face up in tape. He is the master of the New Rome City pit fighters. His real name is Darren and he met us at the train station to guide us to the venue. He was extremely nice, but seemed a lot more violent when in character. It was him as another character who attacked Mandell, and soon after this picture was taken he got into a scrap with one of his errant employees.


This is her. They fought because she was shocked to see him and claimed she thought he was dead. For a while it looked like there was going to be a sledgehammer showdown. But eventually they made up and locked arms in a touching show of unity. People were crowding around gaping. It was clearly a big shock to many that Onager was alive. On this happy note of reunification we ran away back to the year 2008.
