TDM 002: IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN TO

( 1 ) Around mid-morning, a message from the Augur appears on bracelets all across the city. "New organisms discovered. Domestication in progress." The wark of a chocobo rises up from the outskirts of the city. Several more join in, forming a charming chorus. And, strangely, this is when new arrivals begin to show up. Beamed in one at a time, scanned en masse, they are processed just as the first wave was. There's one major difference: whereas the old guard was given their bracelets and ushered into the City, the new folks are also given... collars. Buckled, snapped, or otherwise fastened around their necks, a variety of colorful collars with some rather unusual novelty pet tags. (These are just a few suggestions. The typical “If found, please return to ____” is also very much acceptable.) "You are new organisms. Domestication in progress. Compatible Eros energy will complete domestication." No matter how hard they try, characters cannot take the collars off by themselves. They need a partner's help - but not just anyone will do. It very well might be the first person they find, or it might take several tries. The robots grow bolder as the day grows on, targeting characters who aren't new, as well. "Y̶o̶u̴ ̸a̷r̸e̷ ̵o̵r̵g̶a̴n̷i̷s̶m̸s̶.̶ ̶D̷o̶m̴e̴s̶t̶i̶c̵a̸t̶i̸o̴n̸ ̷i̵n̸ ̴p̸r̶o̵g̷r̵e̷s̵s̷." Their antics die down by nightfall, but for the next day or two, the occasional malfunctioning 'bot may accost someone in the street, so stay on your toes! ( 2 ) An abandoned racetrack lights up the night. That's right: place your bets, folks, because these birds are about to run around a track while robots sell synthetic, overpriced aphro-popcorn. ...Did you say priced? That’s right! If you participated in the orgy earlier this month, you'll find you have a stash of credits accessible in your app. You've fucked money back into the world, so why not waste it? (Opportunities to earn credits will come up periodically and won't always be sexual in nature, so don't worry if your character wouldn't have any yet.) And if you don't have credits to bet with, why not get creative? ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

I will be.

[ women are so bizarre. angelo raises an eyebrow at the comment on flattery, because in his opinion people are allowed to have one moment's grace before it turns unbearable, but that's not important here.

a suplex, however, seems like a decent upgrade to his list of moves. he will mentally add it and note to one day perform it on someone deserving. or something. ]

Your name?

[thorniest]

[Kainé just nods; she might be a surly asshole, but saving people is in her blood. As funny as Angelo's little crisis had been, it was hard to tell how serious it might've been.

Up close, though, he looked rumpled, but no worse for wear.]

...Kainé.

[And, with that, she turns towards the Tennessee Walking Chicken once more, and starts shifting the feathers on its neck. Fortunately, it's still dazed enough not to resist...]

...you see a collar or tag on any of 'em? [...] Eating someone's pet could be a pain... even if it's a little asshole.

[...yeah, she was serious when she called it "food".</small]
