It's a cold, dark night in Metro City. Ever since Mayor Haggar came in and cut the Mad Gear Gang down to size, these streets have been safer, but you can never be too careful. You're heading back from work, and cut through an often-avoided alleyway as a shortcut. You take a left turn down a corner, and come face to face with a buxom woman with pink, flowing hair. She doesn't notice you at first, but soon turns around.

Hey hun, you lost~?

Her eyelashes flutter in the breeze as she approaches... she looks like bad news, and you step back.

Don't worry, I'm not with Mad Gear... well, not anymore.

She chuckles as she looks you up and down.

Say, how about you come with me? I'm looking for someone of your talents, and I'll make it worth her while~. *Her eyes glisten with greed - or perhaps lust as she winks at you.
