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 appreciate the effort regardless, Rise.

I can't exactly borrow my mom's name either. I mean, she's named "Nowi", so... Actually come to think of it maybe it's not too much of a surprise how she named me.

[stripsearch]

"nowi" as in "no way"?

what the hell who picks names in ur family

[nahtscared]

I'd say it's a manakete thing

But there's nothing wrong with Lady Tiki's name.

[stripsearch]

a manawhat
did u mean manatee?

[nahtscared]

Manakete. Pronounced "Mah-nah-keh-tay".

It's an ancient tribe of dragons who take human form to conserve our power. We take on our draconic form when we need to. I'm technically the first half-manakete. My father's a human.

[stripsearch]

ooooh
so ur a dragon???
well a half dragon ig

ur dad mustve been a very bold man

[nahtscared]

Yep! But I'm usually in humanoid form, as is my mom and Lady Tiki.

Which is probably why my father decided it could work... well, that and my mother can be very insistent.

[stripsearch]

but u CAN be a dragon if u wanted to
and i mean thats probably good for him but still if ur wife is a dragon like

ud probably be a little curious rite?

[nahtscared]

There was a time when I wouldn't have considered that.

But I know very well what you're talking about now.

I still think it sounds crazy. I could crush a human to paste in my dragon form if I slip up, and that's with me being as careful as I can.

[stripsearch]

idk
maybe some guys are in2 that
what was ur dad like?

[nahtscared]

Well I know one girl is.

And I probably shouldn't say more than that.

He's kind, and gentle, quiet, a bit shy, but also really strong and dangerous if he has to be. He's the kind of guy who'd like to solve every conflict with words, but if he can't... well, he'll make people wish they'd let him.

[stripsearch]

aw he sounds sweet

did u have a gf back at the other place then?
i mean i no u said u werent gonna say nething more but
u cant drop that detail & then not dish cmon girl

[nahtscared]

Not a girlfriend. A friend who I'm very close to.

Who is very shy about these sort of things and rarely approaches anyone to so much as discuss it.

And for that and a few other reasons I couldn't possibly refuse her.

[stripsearch]

wait ur friend wanted to have sex with u as a dragon & u agreed bc she was polite about it?

i mean im not saying i wouldnt but
theres being a good friend and theres being a GOOD friend u no

[nahtscared]

Well, this was in the world where we had to have sex to stay alive. We'd slept together several times by this point.

This was basically her convincing me that she really was interested enough to make taking the risk worth it.

[stripsearch]

oh rite yea u said that
gods that mustve been weird



so how was it

[nahtscared]

I was terrified I was accidentally going to hurt her the whole time. But she loved it. Especially when I wrapped my tongue around her.

By the end of it I'd just... kind of accepted the whole thing, I suppose.
