The perpetual twilight was crushing. Atop Neokyo’s urban sprawl, Kaito found himself once again on another dirty rooftop, surrounded by the ceaseless hum of pulsing electricity only this city could produce. The neon lights flickered like dying stars, casting long shadows that danced with the rhythm of the dark.
Lounging upon the transformer scheduled for maintenance, a feral cat watched Kaito with eyes that gleamed with an otherworldly intelligence. And malice. Its fur a tangle of filth and moonlight, absorbing darkness and disease.
Why was it here?
With the precision of a surgeon, Kaito delved into the intricacies of the electric box, his hands simultaneously moving with the grace of an artisan, and the anxiety of a fugitive on the run.
The cat remained unmoved, silently observing in the theater of the night.
As Kaito tightened the final screw, a sense of unease crept over him—a primal instinct that whispered of danger lurking in the shadows. He glanced at the cat, expecting it to vanish, but it remained, its gaze unyielding, its presence an enigma.
"What do you want from me?" Kaito muttered, his voice lost in the symphony of the city.
The cat offered no response, only a silent stare. And as he stood upon the rooftop, a lone figure in the heart of the urban jungle, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had stumbled upon something far beyond his comprehension—a glimpse into the darker corners of an existence of which he regrettably belonged.
In Makuri near the Castle K/QOM banner there’s a man standing next to a dog that is laying on the ground. He’s bending over it, then standing back up. When I rode past at first I was worried it was something sad! Is the dog sick or injured, dying?! Each time I passed by while doing the Castle Crit ride I saw them and kept thinking of what their story was. I went back when I wasn’t in a race and stopped beside them to get a closer look.
The dog is simply laying down with its tail wagging. The man looks exasperated “hey buddy! Come on! You gotta get back up and finish this walk! We need to get home!”
I don’t have a dog, but I had a friend who’s dog would get tired when going for a
walk and just stop, lay down and was just done! You couldn’t do anything about it! 🤣 and had to either pick it up and carry it, or wait it out! Too funny!
This is one of my favourite NPC groups in Neokyo - people dancing with one of the giant Neokyo dogs 😁
Why do they meet and dance? Coincidence? Because this is the best Street food bar in Neokyo and they host a weekly street dance competition?
Are they dancing as they are so happy to see the smiles on the faces of the riders on the many colourful Tron bikes that glide through Neokyo, bringing a colourful stream of happiness to the bustling city?
Or are Jim and his dog Charlie practicing their dance performance which they will perform live on stage at the Zwift Games after party in March? 😉
The story behind this? You tell me, what the heck the game designer was thinking here. A guy dancing on a cart, on neokyo rooftops, looks like the backdoor of some workplace (boxed pilled up and probably waiting to be loaded on that cart lol). I assume he's wanting to impress that Lady and she is applauding him so it seems to be working. 😂
Maybe they were having a workplace party, had a couple drinks too much, went to escape the crowd and for some fresh air landed in this situation 🙂
Observing Jenny & Kyle and their cats Tiffy and Chad . I am not sure what they are waiting for, but it seems like they're waiting for something. They keep looking at their phones, maybe checking the time. Their cats change from sitting to laying. I think they're waiting for the food they ordered, a delivery, their kids, or timing some cyclists. What do you think? Maybe it's not a phone they're looking into? Why are they both out there?
