Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

@kate.bishop SUPER LATE SORRY

[fledges]

i'm in
although my gut reaction to the phrase "extreme handholding" coming from an anonymous poster is "creepy"

NP u caught me on vacation so sorry i'm so late right back!!

[stabilis]

It's either that or the phrase "extreme handholding" coming from a guy named Johnny who just got dumped in an alley by a shady van. Not sure context helps.

NO WORRIES

[fledges]

it helps a little, considering we've all been through the shady van thing
what do you mean by extreme handholding, anyway?

[stabilis]

Starting to think I oversold the extreme part, honestly. Unless you consider thinking very hard about something or poking yourself with a needle while holding hands 'extreme'.

I just want to get the capabilities and limits of the link on theoretical paper. It could help people adjust to it, maybe get us a little closer to figuring out what makes it tick.

[fledges]

sounds like a blast to me
when do you want to start?

actually back now oops

[stabilis]

My current plans are being stuck in this safehouse until they set me up with an ID, so you know. I'm flexible.

:*

[fledges]

so... now?

[stabilis]

And people are saying I move fast.

[ Kidding. He made the post, here. ]

You're looking for the guy that's 6', blond buzz cut. Blue eyes.

[ And just because that description almost fits Prompto, if she's bad at heights: ]

Looks like he can grow a beard.

ACTION?

[fledges]

very specific
i've got black hair and i'm wearing purple

[rip her long hair. After she sends the message, Kate wanders the safe house until she finds someone who fits that description.]

Hey. Johnny?

YES maybe also faster tags from me now, rip

[stabilis]

[ She catches him lounging on one of the cots, arms crossed behind his head. He isn't napping, but he's too busy browsing who-knows-what on the internet to notice her approach. He switches it off when he hears his name, sitting up.

After a second to note the black buzzcut and the purple, ]

And you're... Kate?
