2020 vs 2024
I had to remind myself that I'm not stuck in one place and I really learned a lot. Also Wiosna had a nice glow up!

The Waters Above
Wakamizu - In Japanese mythology it is a gift for humanity from the moon god, Tsukuyomi. It can be a reward for good deeds a human performs, or simply as the god's benevolence/pity for the suffering of mortals.
Waka-mizu is more aptly translated as the water of youth (where waka - youth and mizu - water). It seems to refer to the same thing as ochi-mizu (rejuvenating, reanimating water).
This was a long time coming. It was for the Hanami event, but as always, I take more time than should be legal to finish my ideas. The associated one shot fic that will make things clearer and (hopefully) better.
Huge thanks to @breezypunk for Goro’s netrunner suit & to @nananarc for the “on location” research upon Japanese myths and beliefs. Two essential things that helped me tremendously.♥️

Summary:
Arasaka under Hanako's lead, works on a secret program that would turn Mikoshi into a cyber-afterlife. A place where the constructs can experience some form of pleasure, leisure and even normality. A place where the surroundings are a little more than just black ether and neon green materializations of code.
The technology is still in its infancy, still unstable and minimally explored. The weaknesses of this underdeveloped technology leave Mikoshi as a whole at risk, opening it to outer and even inner threats. V, as a prime test subject and candidate for cloning, is in the midst of this new program and just as weak to said threats.
