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?

Sudden? Comes with a really specific instruction manual? [ she flashes blake a small, nervous grin before continuing. ]

Yeah, I know. The feeling's, uh. Mutual. [ hell, yang is certain she's wanted this since arriving in atlas, but travelling across remnant on a world saving mission felt like neither the right time nor place for exploring that new avenue of their relationship. ]

So...yeah. [ really smooth. ]

... Yeah. [ blake doesn't look much less nervous, but she nods, gesturing to her own neck. ] Just... give me a hand with this, okay? We can talk about the rest later.

[ yang nods in response, wasting no time working to remove her partner's collar. the clasp is undone in seconds, and after the collar falls to the ground, she simply stands there to revel in the closeness. blake's presence has always been a tether in times of uncertainty. at beacon, in atlus--even during their time apart, just reading some of her favorite books had filled her with a sense of peace.

she traces her fingers along blake's jaw and cups her cheek and a smile, genuine and full of adoration, spreads across her face. things between them will be...different from now on, no question about that, but this feeling won't change. ]

There. You look better this way.

[ she feels her face heat up at yang's touch, and that smile practically makes her heart flutter.

she knows fully well how she feels about her partner, of course. but there hasn't been a good time, and now... well. this, whatever this is, can handle this place. blake turns her head slightly into the contact, pressing her lips to the inside of yang's wrist. ]

What's that supposed to mean? [ if weiss isn't here, someone needs to say it. there's no indignation, just playful amusement. ]

It means, [ yang huffs through a rising blush (brothers, will she ever stop blushing), ] that freedom suits you.

[ she finally steps away then, fighting the strong urge to take hold of blake's hand to keep her close. ]

Didn't know you were working on your Weiss impression, Blake. It sounds good! None of us are gonna be able to tell the difference in a little bit.

[ well, blake has no such compunctions holding her back. touch is how she demonstrates affection best. so she reaches for yang's hand, threading their fingers together. ]

Thanks. But if you start calling me princess, I might have to rethink this whole thing.

[ holding hands, huh? spicy. she glances at their joined hands with a growing look of astonished excitement and the grin she shoots blake is almost blinding. they're doing--this! whatever this is! it's really happening!

her expression switches to one that's a bit more sly before she bows with an over exaggerated flourish, bringing blake's hand up to her mouth as she straightens her posture. ]

Don't forget that you're the one who chose me as your partner, Princess Belladonna. [ yang lightly kisses her knuckles, mischievous smile in place. ] And that means you're pretty much stuck with me. So there.
