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

( Well, it helps that Angela doesn't try to outright shame anyone, ever. She doesn't mean to embarrass him so much as tease him just a little, a metaphorical pinch of a cheek and fondness in her smile as she gets a glimpse at the collar and tries to work it open short of wielding an actual scalpel at it, and she doesn't want to do that. It doesn't seem as though anyone else has been able to cut through them yet either and she won't risk harming someone.

Sylvain mirrors what Angela had done with her device and soon his card is projected up, as well, and— it seems they both have cuddling. Did they need to match them...? She has no idea, but they're both pulsing pink so that... seems like a good sign!? And it's a benign enough way to... start... a friendship. (Sure, Angela.) She points to his and points to hers with a little raise of her brows and the softening of that smile, head tipping. )

It is quite straightforward, isn't it? Shall we give this one a go? We both have it on these things. Maybe I can show you a little more about the technology. It's quite similar to what I know of. And we'll see if we can get these collars off.
