( Sakura brushes her bangs back off her face, adjusting the two canvas bags of fresh produce in her arms. She's taking a breather as the world prepares to begin a new year, cooking for herself and whichever of her roommates might be home.

She's still note sure who they both are, and half expects one of them has glitched right back to their proper timeline. That, or gone completely native.

It's as she walks back along the streets, wearing her heavier cloak against the chill fog and occasional light rains, that she catches sight of someone she recognizes. Stepping off the sidewalk, Sakura checks the flow of traffic before striking off at a diagonal toward the other side of the road. She lifts her hand in a wave of greeting: )

Mr. Aurion!

Most people would kill for this sort of memory, just saying

[Now that officially catches Kratos' attention. Maybe his eyes narrow the slightest bit.]

Behavior modification chips?

[He may not know exactly what those are but they definitely do not sound pleasant.]

but probably not in rp lasjdfk

[encourage]

I don't think they were all that effective. Implant a chip on the brain and regulate behavior through modifying brain activity. Which specific way this one worked, I don't know. There's different options, depending on what people are looking for as a response. From what I understand, the UE uses a more reliable drug cocktail in order to generate similar results through conditioning and dependency.

actually it's good when you need to recall stuff from threads aggggess ago

[flamberge]

Ineffective they may have been, but the fact they had been used to begin with is disturbing in and of itself. [Mind controlling the masses... disgusting.] Is a majority of the UN's populace under the influence of these drugs?

yay for memory for the random things!

[encourage]

It appears to be the case. How long that's been the way the UE operates, I'm not sure. The last few decades, if the reports from when a member of their cabinet was interrogated hold true for the majority.

best sort of memory!

[flamberge]

The Initiative had managed to capture a cabinet member?

[encourage]

The Transports, actually. From what I've gathered, a small group of them captured one of the cabinet members during an attack by the UE on the island back in... October? September or so.

[flamberge]

Are you aware of the details behind this capture, ones pertaining to how this capture came about and other revealed information?
