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

You pick. There isn't like...a housing market or anything. Just go where you can find shelter.

[Adora's place has a little bit more than others. Thanks Eros Energy. She has more than a few amenities. Like furniture, a shower, and a door. Can't forget the door.]

You don't need to apologize. Honestly I'm probably going to be the one apologizing soon.

[She roots through a box and pulls out some scissors.]

The way this place works...I don't know if they'll cut the collar. The bots were talking about compatible Eros energy, and um. Has anyone explained that yet?

[btl]

Ahaha... well, that'll be a bridge that I'll worry about crossing when I come to it, I suppose. [She's always just lived with her parents. It's not that she doesn't think she can manage it on her own; she's a mature, self-sufficient girl. But it is something new she's never done before.

Adora's question, though, gives her pause.] Eros energy?

What's that...?

[swordsense]

Uh. It's energy that comes from doing things on that card.

[She...doesn't want to just completely spell it all out. She will if she has to, but she hopes that 1) Lisa has gotten a card, and 2) that she can not have to be so blatant about it.]
