"Huh. Well, congrats! You might want to set your name tag. What's your class anyway? I just get told 'fetch them for Intake'."

"I'm a unique!" What's the driver's nametag say, so she can copy the style?

Permalink

It used to say [Samedi - Intake Driver]. Now it reads [Samedi - Intake Staff - Brute - D]

"Cool! I jope you'll like the Rabbit building- Uniques are rare, so they get shooed in there."

Permalink

"Rabbits sound like good neighbors to me."

[Elisabel - Unique A]

"Yeah. There's a lot of cultural norms to absorb but Rabbits have very good-neighbor ones. Very friendly and helpful and outgoing. A lot of them get summoned even before they leave Intake. There's a tradition called Spree Day, where Rabbits hold a huge, expensive party. Lots of gifts, lots of food. Kind of conspicuous consumption, but they get a little looked down on so I think it's fine, personally."

"There's so much politics about classes! What am I looking at as a U-type?"

Permalink

"Hmm... Jealousy. A little bit of isolation maybe, just because of not having class solidarity. U types are always strong and weird. Speculation and brainstorming about your skills. Maybe an expectation that you'll show off but that's kind of everyone above a C."

Permalink

"I did get a bunch of stat points, I could take up parkour or something."

Permalink

"If anyone wants to watch you get hit and not get hurt or something screw them yeah."

Permalink

"Is that common? Yikes."

Permalink

"It's... Not unheard of especially among brutes and meisters."

Permalink

"All fun and games till somebody loses an eye."

Permalink

"Regrettably, occasionally literally. We try our best to keep it down but some people are just that determined to be reckless. And ultimately, Intake is to orient you, not baby you. Swimming in the ocean at night, jumping from buildings because the System says they can withstand it, trying parkour or rock climbing or fighting with real weapons without the fancy safety setups CNH has... Making Wright-stuff outside of a hot lab..."

Permalink

"Good to know there are designated parkour zones, at least."

Permalink

"There are gyms for it. Varying levels of fancy, from just really fancy padding to magic fall arresters and protective suits and stuff. Kind of expensive once you get really superhuman, but Avowed at that level can afford it."

Permalink

"What's the price range look like for Intake newbies?"

Permalink

"You mentioned moonjumping? Low-grade movement powers... Probably like thirty argold a month if you just want somewhere to bounce around safely? But I wouldn't want to say for certain without seeing it in action."

Permalink

"And I get a stipend, right? I have no idea what my summons situation is going to look like and I'm supposed to be in school for the next five years, so."

Permalink

"Yeah, students get a stipend and living expenses. I think the basic government assistance is free housing, cafeteria, and fifty argold a month? Also, there's a resettlement fund that most Avowed qualify for."

Permalink

"Yay. Consolation for Australia exiling me."

Permalink

"...Yeah. You wanna get into that now, or nah?"

Permalink

"Eh, as you prefer."

Permalink

"Not, then."

Permalink

"Sights you recommend I see, or anything? Restaurants?"

Permalink

"You might have to give me a category or I'll just list my favorites. There's way too much. Everyone trying to keep busy and all. You'll probably get a lot of flyers- There's a pretty good no System spam mail norm, so the spam becomes physical instead. But it's decent at showing you options."
