#augmented reality in home design

[hrrtshape]

hi!! im a huge fan. i know you said you were in a yapping mood, and i was curious about the boarding school st. lazarus you made that you mentioned in ur better cr!

just wondering like, everything. what's the culture there, is there a uniform, stories of you && coryo ,, etc. the scoop if you will. thankyouthankyou!

ok so it's not a boarding school!!!!!!!! i know. day school. tragically. i go home. i live 40 minutes away if i'm walking which is crazy because if you look at nyc from a map you'd think that'd be like 5 minutes. i just go straight and then turn a corner and then straight. if it's raining i'll stand outside and text "someone bring me a helicopter" with full sincerity. anyway. my boyfriend drives me to school because he loves me very very very very very very very much i hope

somehow it's always longer than it should be. like it bends. like manhattan bends around this stupid school and steals five minutes from me every single day

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so it's in carnegie hill which means everyone's parents have very loud opinions on rezoning and once a girl's dad tried to sue a bakery for serving him gluten when he emotionally believed it was gluten-free. anyway. the school. it's not a boarding school (tragic). it's a 30k per semester day school. thirty. thousand. per semester. i'm not embarrassed. but saying it feels like i'm daring god to smite me. or like. calling the irs to chat

the building is huge. horrifying. old in a way that's not romantic but structurally concerning. it looks like someone said "what if we did hogwarts but took out the whimsy and added asbestos." there are lions carved into the stonework and they glare down at you like you cheated on your latin test

pigeons sit on their heads and act like they own the place. they probably do. they've been here longer than the freshman

there's a plaque on the front gate that's written in a mix of latin and threatening serif. it says something about "truth" and "light" and "excellence through adversity" which feels aggressive when you're already late and holding a bagel with no napkin. the gates are black and heavy and creak when they open, which would be dramatic if it wasn't also deeply annoying when you're holding an iced coffee and a binder and your keycard fell in a drain ten minutes ago.

you walk in and there's a courtyard with a marble fountain that sounds like it's trying to win an oscar for sound design. like. you can hear it from the third floor english hallway if the windows are open. which they always are. because the school has money for koi ponds and augmented reality labs but refuses to invest in functional air circulation. priorities

sometimes people hang out by the fountain. usually to "study." they don't. they vape and talk about other people's siblings. sometimes there's a violinist. he's not employed by the school. he's just.......… around. someone said he used to teach here. someone else said he's a ghost. either way he plays vivaldi at 8:04am and no one stops him.

the inside of the building is just as dramatic. the staircases creak. the hallways echo. the floors are so shiny it's like walking on guilt. the ceilings have mouldings. the kind of mouldings that feel legally protected. and there's chandeliers. not one. not two. several. for no reason. i asked a teacher once why they were there and she just said "aesthetic legacy." ok. roger that

the library is two floors and has a spiral staircase and a librarian who once gave someone detention for dog-earing a penguin classics edition of ulysses. there's a rumour that she lives in the archive room. she denies it. but her mug says "my blood type is dewey decimal" so like. we know

every room has a plaque with a name. the balthazar science suite. the cohen humanities corridor. the bishop astor media centre. i don't know who these people are. probably donors. probably ghosts. probably both. my theory is that for every building donation, someone's spirit gets trapped inside the walls and has to haunt the photocopier until the next capital campaign

also the bell system is weird. it doesn't ring. it chimes. like a cursed nursery rhyme. three soft tones. a lullaby for overachievers. it plays at the start and end of every period and the tone literally says "this is a prestigious institution where we will kill you. gently." we all just stand up and move. no one questions it

the front office smells like printer ink and lavender and passive aggression. the admin staff have name tags and clipboards and a kind of cheerful menace. if you forget your id, they give you a visitor badge and a look. you know the one. the one that says "you are disappointing the ancestors"

we have vending machines that sell eel rolls. eel rolls. vending machine. eel. there's a recording studio next to the planetarium. a tea room on the mezzanine floor with like. napkin rings. a greenhouse on the roof. not metaphorically. physically.

there's a hallway that smells like lavender and another that smells like laser ink and the cafeteria has a sushi bar. the drama kids keep trying to rehearse in the speakeasy study room but no one has the spine to kick them out. there's a girl who takes off her shoes in the meditation room and everyone lets her because her dad's on the board. her feet smell

you get assigned an alumni mentor. you get a starbucks account. you get handed a schedule and it says "literature studies" and "fencing" and you go ok.

the uniforms are stiff. they're good-looking. it's like navy and light grey and sometimes white if it's a formal day. i love em. the blazers have embroidery. people have names on their tags. one guy in our year tried to make a "casual fridays" movement happen and it got shut down within twenty minutes. he's still mad about it.

i'm in the yearbook committee. and blackmailed my way into the school council. coryo's in model un and the school council and also is the captain of the basketball team. he runs all three. like of course he does wow it makes sense why the school's a bit of a dictatorship. he edits my essays. he pretends not to.

he sits behind me in world history and once threw a folded-up packet of xeroxed court documents at my head. we kissed in the art gallery stairwell after a student-led climate panel. someone definitely saw. no one said anything. he sends me stupid little messages like meet me in the greenhouse in five minutes or i will swallow soil

the school is… ,,,,,,,,,,.........i don't even know. it's not weird. it's not dark academia. it's not euphoria. it's just full. there's always something. the girl next to you is learning japanese for fun. the boy across from you is mad he didn't win the tech competition and now he's rebuilding his robot from scratch. people write tok essays like they're letters to the un.

you know that one vending machine in the library hallway that just. doesn't work. ever. but they won't replace it because someone's cousin is on the tech team and they say it's "being monitored?????????? yeah. that's the one that ate my money three times and gave coryo a vitamin water once that was probably somehow five years expired. we drank it. it was fine. we felt immortal for two days.

there's this girl in my history class who prints everything on cream-coloured paper. like not white. not off-white. full-on brutalist parisian memoir coloured paper. no one knows where she buys it. someone said her godfather works in publishing. i don't care. i just want to know how she gets her margins to align so cleanly

people keep acting like the greenhouse is some rare oasis of calm but it's genuinely so humid in there i get angry. physically angry. and the girl who runs the gardening club walks around misting things and won't let anyone open the window. "they'll dry out." ok. and i'll pass out. do you want me on the floor with a nosebleed or do you want your basil alive. choose

there's an unofficial rule that if you get caught crying in the staircase between the music wing and the robotics closet, someone has to give you gum. doesn't matter who. doesn't matter what kind. it's like a tax. last week it was coryo. he gave someone a whole pack of orbit and then made fun of them for liking debussy. it's a vicious cycle. i got annoyed. like. why are you giving someone gum??? asshole

the english teacher keeps trying to make fetch happen. and she never blinks. and she once told us she translated the iliad by hand for fun. anyway she terrifies me and i respect her more than most people in my life

every wednesday there's a girl who stands outside the student council office with a clipboard. she has braces and the power of god behind her. she's been "collecting names" for three years. we don't know what for. she never tells anyone. you just see her. and you sign. and you hope you're on the good list. like santa. but santa won't write an expose in forbes about you in 20 years. coriolanus has not signed and im scared he's gambling our future children and riches away !!!!!!!

they installed a water refill station that plays bird noises. no one asked for it. no one knows who requested it. but the noises change sometimes??? one day it was seagulls. one day it was tropical rainforest ambience. one day it made no noise and it felt wrong. everyone just stood there like…………. where's the bird

there's a rumour that if you're on the debate team you get a special locker near the server room and it has better wifi. this might be true. the debate team all carry portable chargers and look smug. one of them definitely stole my charger in september and said it was a necessary strategic acquisition.

the sushi bar in the cafeteria has a tip jar. it's not real. it's just there for atmosphere. someone once left a poem in it. someone else left a band-aid. i once saw lilyrose drop in a metrocard and walk away with no expression. when i asked him he just said it had 37 cents on it. ok.

also there's a corner of the art gallery where the lights flicker and the head of visual arts keeps saying "we're working on it" but it's been three years and it still flickers and it still smells like whiteboard cleaner and every time i stand there for too long i feel like i'm about to have a vision. which is fine. because that's where coryo kissed me. during climate week. while holding a binder. because romance is dead and i killed it with my bare hands

we have a school-wide wi-fi network that everyone hates but won't admit they use. it's called lazarussecure. the password is stlazarusnewyork btw. so cool. except it's not secure. it's slow. it breaks during lunch. there's this one girl in my english class who has her own hotspot and she's basically a god now

someone made a meme page for our year group and admin tried to take it down. didn't work. it got funnier

we once had an assembly where the guest speaker was an alum who started a skincare line. she talked about collagen for thirty straight minutes. someone fainted. it wasn't related. they just hadn't eaten. but it made the whole thing feel very dramatic and cultish

ohhhhhhh by the way we have such a cool conference hall like grah

ok so i need you all to remember that 90% of these people are rich and choose to be STUPID on purpose. like it's a decision. no one's asking them to act like this. no one's holding a gun to their head saying "pronounce rousseau like 'ra-soo.'" they just do it. they just wake up and think "hmm. what if i interpreted reality incorrectly today." and then they do. and everyone claps

there are cliques. obviously

the ones whose parents are on boards.

the ones who summer in places that don't have google street view

the ones who are secretly broke but act like they own equestrian land in monaco

the ones who actually do own equestrian land in monaco and won't shut up about it.

the kids with bodyguards.

the kids with cousins in congress.

the kids who think they're main character just because they went to harrow for a term and cried. THEYRE NOT THEY SUCKY SUCK

right. it's more like gravity. there's just groups and proximity and whoever got invited to blair's birthday brunch that one time. that's how it works. there's the girls who are on varsity dance and have initials for names. em. vee. jay. they eat protein bars in the hallway and their entire lives run on a tight rotation of toner, sleep-deprived charisma, and gym shark discount codes. they all have matching water bottles. no one knows who started it. they just do

there's the boys who wear the blazers wrong. never buttoned. sleeves slightly rumpled. perfect gelled hair but in a way that says i didn't try even though we all saw them adjusting it in the stainless steel reflection on the juice bar. they're the ones who take econ because they want to "go into finance" and then get a b+ and cry behind the server room. losers

you've never seen someone fall apart like a boy who realises he's mid at game theory

you've got the legacy kids who show up to ethics class late with a coffee the size of their head and say things like "oh i talked to my mom's assistant about that" in response to......anything. they don't even mean it in a bad way. they just don't know how conversations work. someone once said the sentence "my grandfather owns a minority stake in a war documentary distributor" in front of me and i still think about it at least once a week

then there's the student council-adjacent types. like me. like hi. sparkle sparkle. i'm glinda. i'm involved. i'm everywhere. i'm the one you ask if you want to know what movie to watch when you're sad but want to feel like a parisian orphan. i'm the one who shows up to the student council meeting with a dirty chai latte and three highlighters and sits next to coryo like i'm not also plotting to make the vending machines sell melon soda. we're not power-hungry. we're just very charming and very effective. ok

the artsy kids are a disaster in the best way. they take up half the cafeteria with their sketchbooks and chipped nail polish and i'm doing a piece on emotional scale. ok. what does that mean. do you need help. they always look cold. they always have a sharpie in their pocket. one of them has painted the same vase for two years straight and no one has the courage to ask why. someone said it's a metaphor. i think she just likes the shape

science olympiad is half future billionaires and half kids who peaked at nine. they do everything in groups of four. they walk in a diamond formation. they have inside jokes about like. cell cultures and arsenic poisoning. one of them made a powerpoint about the logistics of time travel and presented it unprompted during english media culture. i think he cried. no one said anything. we all just clapped once and moved on

the musical theatre kids……….. ok. well. i don't know what the drama kids are doing half the time. but they're actually not that bad. i know i KNOW but listen. they're too tired to be annoying this year. they're overworked. they're always running lines or painting sets or begging the tech team to stop turning off the lights during rehearsal. i was supervising their set production and actually....learned a lot of lines of hamlet. words, words, words. i caught one of them asleep under the piano in the recital hall and just left him there. he looked peaceful. like a corpse

the yearbook committee is a warzone. i'm on it. i've fought people over captions. we don't have time to pretend we're "the quirky creatives." we're too busy fighting the layout software and sending passive aggressive emails about photo quality.

the newspaper kids are worse. they think they're reporters. they call meetings. they act like they're about to uncover watergate and then write 600 words on why the vending machines reflect late-stage capitalism. YOU ARE NOT CARY GRANT IN HIS GIRL FRIDAY DO YOU HEAR ME

then there's the floater rich kids. they're the ones who are somehow in three clubs but no one's ever seen them attend a meeting. they get asked to be on every committee. they say maybe a lot. they're hot and loud and mostly run on charisma and la mer moisturiser. one of them once said i'd join model un but i don't want to fix anything. i kind of respect that

and finally you've got the weird in-betweeners who aren't really in anything but somehow have access to everything.

they know all the locker combos. they've sat in on meetings they weren't invited to. they walk around during third period with a school-issued ipad and the kind of confidence that suggests they're either a spy or someone's nephew. i don't know how they do it. they're not mean. they're not sweet. they're just… there. haunting the group chat. sending pdfs no one asked for. being ten minutes early to everything and still shocked when people don't know their name.

also there's a genre of boy here that i have no name for but you know him. he's on the basketball team but also takes latin. he carries a protein shake in a carabinered bottle and quotes catch-22 like it's a flex. he wears his backpack on one shoulder and says things like "the gatsby movie was better than the book actually" with conviction. he flirts horribly and when you call him out he says you're projecting. coryo has almost become one of them at least twice. i keep him humble to the bone

then there's the girls who are always leaving. they've been "moving to paris" for four semesters now. they walk into school in sunglasses and leave before fifth period and you ask "where are you going?" and they say "pilates." they're never in class but somehow always at events. they know what they're doing

there's a specific war happening between the ethics and morality class and the tech help desk. it's unspoken. they fight with eye contact. i don't know the origins but it has to do with a socratic seminar that devolved into a presentation about "data laundering in school-issued devices." one of the tech desk kids just kept saying "open source doesn't mean you're free." whatever that means. i don't know. i liked the poster !!!???!?!?

our student council president (also my boyfriend. hi. he's rich. (off screen squealing) keeps saying we should "streamline the student body." he won't explain what that means the fucking loser. he says it's metaphorical. he also said "i could run this place with four people and a fountain pen." which is terrifying. he might be right

there is a girl who keeps writing to admin demanding a rebrand of the cafeteria lunch trays. she said the beige plastic was "a violent affront to contemporary palettes." she started a change.org petition. she got sixty signatures. someone drew devil horns on it and left it taped to the aquarium.

she cried. then doubled down

the group chat for my english class has not been normal since the first month. someone keeps changing the name. someone else keeps adding random faculty. we live in fear. one time it was called "wednesday suicide pact (annotated)." the teacher never addressed it. she just posted a pdf of a sylvia plath essay and logged off. no one's heard from her since

the alumni mentor programme is a scam. they matched me with a woman who wrote for the cut in 2013 and now freelances about "narrative wellness." we had one zoom. she told me i had "old eyes." what does that mean. she sent me a playlist. i haven't opened it

there's a hallway in the second building where no one gets signal. we call it the dead zone. someone once said you can hear the school crying in there if you listen hard enough

i said it just smells like broken radiator and whatever perfume the year 10 girls are all copying from each other. no one laughed

the kids in architecture club are building a miniature model of the school for "posterity." they said it's about "documenting space under capitalism." i said ok. they said they needed hair samples for scale. i left

also there's a boy who wears sunglasses in the planetarium. every time. he says it's for light sensitivity. he is the same boy who threw up during theatre week because he ate an entire tin of espresso beans before curtain call.

he's now banned from the recital hall. but he still shows up. every single time. sunglasses on

ok also the starbucks. sorry. the ON-CAMPUS starbucks. yes we have one. yes it's open before first period. yes it has a staff punch card system. no we don't work there. we're just that powerful. it's inside the arts building which is probably illegal because the floor plan says "cultural annex" but it literally has a drinks fridge and one guy named aiden who always spells my name wrong on purpose. whatever

we have a dynamic.

i get the soy milk matcha latte. every. single. time. the girl who runs the milk rotation tried to shade me for it once and i just said "it's me and the latte against the world." and she nodded. we haven't spoken since. i don't care if it's overpriced.

i don't care if it's not "real matcha." it's green. it's sweet. it makes me feel invincible. sometimes i drink it too fast and shake in tok but that's between me and my spiralling metaphysical assumptions

we ball.

anyway. the starbucks also does this thing where they play weird music during first period. like not even lo-fi. i'm talking glitched out 2010s youtube ad-core. one time it was just a looped sample of someone whispering "capitalist hellscape" over nature sounds. someone must've made a complaint because now it's mostly jazz. except last week they played the national anthem on loop for forty minutes. no one said anything.

we were all too scared. especially me who's not an american but russian so i constantly feel like someone's about to grab me with a net and send me out to siberia. I WAS BORN IN PARIS NICOLE OKAY???? I DONT TALK TO BEARS . wow okay.

we have gourmet vending machines. i know i mentioned the eel rolls but did i tell you they also do tiny tiramisus???? @kerryshifts move in??? and soba bowls. and for some reason........... gluten-free pistachio biscotti?? which i'm like ok mum's influence is showing ig like............. she probably owns the supplier. leash, collar, bunny tail and all. they also once stocked blue cheese and no one took accountability for it. like it was just there. fermenting in public. rotting with confidence

like most of the boys in there who said that

the tea room has a reservation system. which is stupid. i hate it. i use it every week. it's on the mezzanine and it has actual place cards and a rotating menu and a girl named juliette who pronounces "camomile" like it's a threat. i go there between double english and model un. coryo always finds me. he never books. he just shows up and makes fun of how i hold my fork and drinks my tea even though he said he "doesn't trust infusions." he's dramatic. he's obsessed with me. it's so sickening oh if someone could save me

also there are three water fountains in the east building. one of them's normal. one of them is broken. one of them plays rainforest ambience when you press the button. this isn't a joke. it makes little chirping bird noises and everything. i don't know who coded it. i don't know who installed it. i asked the facilities guy once and he just said "it's on a loop." ok??? what kind of loop. what kind of bird. there's no plaque. i'm repeating myself.....wow ok im going insane

we have a zen garden. you're not allowed to touch it. someone did once and got a full write-up and a week of detention. she didn't even step on it. she just leaned in. there's a motion sensor. it went off. it beeped. admin got involved. someone said it was cultural. someone else said it was aesthetic.

anyway she cried and now we're all scared to walk past it during third period because it sees you

there's also the vending machine,,,, that one i mentioned but i also called the number on it and it just rang twice and went to voicemail. i left a message saying i wanted to book a limousine to the debate semi-finals. no one ever got back to me. but the next week there was a limousine parked outside the music wing and no one claimed it

the cafeteria sushi bar has mood lighting. like genuine dimmer-switch lighting. you can't see the rolls. you just have to guess. i once picked up something i thought was avocado and it was straight-up wasabi. i cried. serena laughed so hard he fell off the stool. the chef bowed. i said thank you. i hoped she'd die. we moved on

also. and this is real. someone tried to start a student-run speakeasy in the library archive room and it lasted three days before being shut down. they had menus. someone brought in a milk frother. there was a password system. "punctuation." i'm not joking. they used "punctuation" as the password. you had to whisper it through the shelf. i respect the vision. poor execution.

so we also have this cursed little hallway. it connects the language immersion wing to the tech help desk. no one walks it voluntarily. it's freezing. always. like hospital-corridor-during-a-power-outage cold. one time someone's hair clip shattered from the air pressure. another time the lights flickered and a girl dropped her smoothie and screamed. i walk it daily. because my locker's there

also did i tell you about the aquarium in the biology room???

it's huge

it's got its own little corner and a name plaque and everything. except the name plaque says "donated in memory of horace." no one knows who horace is

no one's ever said anything about horace. the fish are fine. one of them's missing an eye. the marine bio teacher insists it's natural. it isn't

there's also this thing where every year during winter, some senior decides they're gonna "host a salon." no one ever defines what that means. it's just them in the tea room, talking about being misunderstood while quoting philosophers wrong and eating strawberries like they're in a renaissance painting. last year someone brought a harp. the tea room staff revolted. it was beautiful

the printer on the third floor humanities wing is haunted. this is not up for debate. it prints blank pages. it jams even when empty. it once printed someone's private google doc notes from 2017. unprompted. they were about twilight and political theory. the girl cried. the printer blinked. nothing else happened. it remains operational. admin won't replace it. they said "it builds character." ok. have i mentioned this? i feel like im going insane

you know that thing where a school has "morning announcements"????? yeah. ours are pre-recorded on fridays. by this one guy in year 12 with the smoothest voice on earth and an ego the size of the upper gym. he once said "congratulations to the fencing team on their moderate success" and got suspended for two days. he came back and called us "listeners." someone needs to stop him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the school's instagram page is managed by someone in admin who clearly wants to go viral. like every post is captioned like a divorcee's pinterest board. "excellence in bloom 🌸" and "dream. believe. dissect." please. we're dissecting frogs. be serious.

one time they posted a photo of me in debate club and tagged the wrong name

coryo got in trouble last month for making a school-wide google calendar event titled "the downfall of democracy." it was actually just the student council elections. but still. people freaked. one girl wrote a whole speech about freedom of speech and the sanctity of digital infrastructure. he didn't even campaign. he still won. i'm going to scream. i love my man so much

there's a set of twin boys in year 10 who only speak in riddles and run the audio booth for assemblies. they carry a clipboard. no one's ever seen what's on it. they nod at you like you've passed a test. one time they offered me a sticker and said "you've been deemed stable." i was not. but i took it

also. once a month, the school sends out a newsletter called the lazarus ledger. it is. deranged. it includes things like "student of the fortnight" and "fungus updates." one time there was a pie chart showing "classroom window status" and 67% were labelled "cracked but alive." what does that mean. why are we tracking this. who is behind the data. why are we funding this.

we have a girl who runs a podcast. it's called elevate your mind. she records it from the wellness centre and talks about breathwork and magnesium and her "unique journey with burnout." she got suspended last semester for plagiarising an episode from andrew huberman

she came back with crystals and a vengeance. i don't trust her

the vending machine next to the music hallway once gave me three kit kats. no explanation. no refund. i didn't report it. it felt too personal. like a message

[aggroindustrial]

this is a small glossary with all the terminology i used in my newest shauna fic. if you haven't read it yet you can check it out here <33

Icarus: The wealthiest district in the city. Reality overlays are used to hide the lower-class zones—residents of Icarus can't see the city’s decay unless they disable the filters. Clean skies, artificial sun, and shiny chrome everywhere. The illusion is expensive—and tightly controlled. The best cyberdocs work in this zone.

Devine: The “in-between” district of the city. A dense, grimy sector where most mercs, scavengers, and tech dealers live. Not exactly lawless, but too chaotic for corporate comfort. Street markets and second-hand cyberware vendors are common in this zone.

Eden: The lowest and most dangerous district. Black-market weapons and surgeries—which are performed with cyberware stolen from clinics and corpses, most of the time infected with viruses—outlaw AIs, and ruined buildings.

Cog: A derogatory term for people who are augmented. Implies they're no longer human, just replaceable parts in a machine.

Daedalus Paramedics: Premium medical care. They charge a subscription in exchange for rescue and treatment, no questions asked. Fast and efficient. Pretty much like the Trauma Team from Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberdocs: Medics who install cyberware implants. Only the ones who work in Icarus are officially licensed, but all of them know what they're doing—most of the time, at least. Basically the same as Ripperdocs.

Asclepius: A multinational corporation that specializes in pharmaceuticals, bioengineering, and nanotechnology. Officially, they create miracles for the less fortunate. Unofficially, they create dependencies on cyber implants.

Reality overlays (ROs): Augmented reality filters used to “beautify” grim reality. Rust turns into gold, ruins become skyscrapers, and poverty vanishes with just a flicker of code.

Double-X: Stimulants that enhance senses, boost cognitive abilities, and push the body past its limits. The legal way to acquire them is to buy them in Icarus from an official retailer. They're sold a lot cheaper—and dirtier—on the black market. Comes in blue tabs, marked with two white Xs on them.

Eclipse: A small sub-district between Devine and Eden. Home to cheap junk dealers, dingy underground bars and unregulated cyberdocs who can patch you up for free, but risk a data infection, or worse.

Sahara: Sub-district in the outskirts of Eden, where illegal drift racing, gambling, and drug dealing is more common than one might imagine. The police don't bother stopping them anymore.

Clean-Skin: Slang for someone with no cyberware.

Infinite Purity: Radical anti-augmentation group. Most of the group's members are edgy kids and orphans turned rebels who hate augmented people. They are responsible for multiple acts of vandalism and assault. Similar to Purity First from Deus Ex.

Soul Burn: A common side effect of stimulants. Manifests as memory fragments bleeding into real-time vision.

EMP ammo: Bullets that can cause serious physical damage, but are mainly designed to disrupt electronic devices and systems, in this case, cyberware.

Loop: A luxury narcotic, similar to morphine. Fabricated in Sahara.

Red Sun: Sub-district in Devine. One of the safest neighborhoods.

for the 5 sentence fic game - malex (Max/Alex), forgiveness? if it's not too out of ur depth :3

ok this was such a good prompt that i bust past 5 sentences and just kept going. so…here we go:

————

Forgiveness

a max/alex drabble, rated g

When Max meets Alex again, it’s a crisp autumn day — the kind where the leaves curl in on themselves, as if holding a secret. What secret, Max doesn’t know, but he has never really been in the habit of keeping many secrets.

The park is not where he expects to see Alex. But that’s the thing about parks. They’re a central nervous system for cities. City planners used to design with this in mind, before cars took over. Max remembers this fact from an encyclopaedia that he used to read, under blanket with a torchlight, when he still had the time to, during karting.

And now, Alex is in the park. Alex is older. Hair the same, if longer than it used to be in their F1 days. Face clean-shaven, but sharper in the cut of his jaw. Eyes, still creasing upwards when he sees a thing he likes.

As it turns out, Alex smiled a lot more when he left Red Bull. His smile practically a quantum force of its own when he finally won a GP.

And as it turns out, to his surprise, Max may be one of the things Alex also likes.

“Is that really you?” Alex exclaims, hands tucked in his pockets, wool scarf loose on his neck. Max feels somehow underdressed in his nondescript hoodie. Being a five time world champion, even over a decade later, meant people would stop you for photos.

“It’s me, mate.”

Alex makes a noise that seems like delight. They do the bro hug, and he animatedly explains that Lily is in Shanghai for a project involving augmented reality home golfing that is run through a mobile phone holoprojector. He rambles a little bit about weather — which for some reason the English still are obsessed with — and Alex asks whether Monaco has changed much (Max tells him it hasn’t).

“Are you heading up to Milton Keynes?” Alex says.

There is no loadedness behind the question. Max has only been back to Milton Keynes for Redline work since he retired.

One thing about Alex is that he was always carefully guarded when he needed to be. But Max never found him truly capable of ill intent.

“No,” Mad says. “I’m actually here because Pen has a thing about horses now. I have a break from touring stables and such.”

“Horses! Ah! There’s this great place down by Richmond, the owner’s an old classmate of mine. Let me pass it to you.”

Classic Alex. Always trying to help out, be nice, create a connection. So Max grabs his phone from his pocket, and lets Alex fuss around with it.

So the task is done, and there isn’t much to do now but move on. That is what Max has done well. Move on, in a way that he knows how, eking out a place for himself in Sim driver development and helping others learn the ropes. Much like Alex clearly has too, remaining as advisor to his last team.

Max finds himself reflecting on the younger men they were so long ago. Max was a lot more impulsive then. Quick to anger, a hunger inside him with so much to prove. But every person who did what they did always had the hunger. It just manifested in a lot of different ways.

And the interaction is nearing its end. But Max still can’t quite find a way to make his legs move. Around them, someone occasionally jogs past, and there are some ducks quacking happily at a nearby pond. It is peaceful.

Alex’s phone buzzes. He glances down at it, brows creasing in concern.

“Sorry, there’s some emergency at home involving my five year old and…” Alex squints at his phone. “A muffin tray of glitter. George is always far too lenient with his godson.”

Max smiles. “I heard about that. George, I mean. Not the glitter. I am not psychic.”

“That would explain your super-powered abilities, wouldn’t it?”

“Ha!” Max says, and he means it. “Anyway, I remember exactly how it is. That age.”

Alex smiles back knowingly.

The leaves rustle in the trees. The ducks are still quacking. The sun peeks out from behind a cloud, warming them both.

It is comfortable, in the way Alex always makes people feel, since the Williams years.

Max stops his leg from twitching.

“Listen, Alex. I never got a chance to say it before.”

“Say what?”

“That I…”

And Max finds himself pondering it. What does he mean? That he’s sorry? Sorry that a formula one team only truly ever has enough room for one person? That he should have asked how Alex was, like how he makes a point to do so now, with all his Redline youngsters? That he wishes he had called or texted him in the intervening years to see how he was, that he wishes they had stayed in touch? That he misses his old cars more than anything in the world, even if he’s happy with what he’s done and the way the puzzle pieces of his life have landed, and he always wonders if other drivers did too?

Max swallows a lump in his throat that he didn’t know was there. In the end, he says exactly what is on his mind.

“I’m really glad that you seem well.”

If that’s not the answer Alex was expecting, he doesn’t show it. He always seems borderline spiritual these days. As if he’s discovered a secret and invites you to understand it. A little bit like a monk, but one who definitely drives over the speed limit. (Max saw that video: a special karting one Alex did for family content, and he still carves a magnificent line.)

The monk in question smiles. It’s warm, like the sun. How lucky for those who grow close enough to Alex, to feel it.

And in that sage, still boyish way of his— surrounded by ducks, subjected to the inclement weather, in the artery of the place where worlds meet — Alex tells Max, back:

“I’m glad for us, too.”

It used to be that when BMW would refit a factory to build a new car, the only way the automaker could check if the chassis would fit through the production line was to fly a team out and physically push the body through the process, making note of any snags.

Now, process engineers can simply run a simulation, sending a 3D model of the car through a near-identical digital twin of the factory. Any mistakes are spotted before the production line is built, saving time and money.

Such is the power of the industrial metaverse. Forget sending your avatar to virtual meetings with remote colleagues or poker nights with distant friends, as Mark Zuckerberg envisioned in 2021 when he changed Facebook’s name to Meta; the metaverse idea has found its killer app in manufacturing.

While the consumer version of the metaverse has stumbled, the industrial metaverse is expected to be worth $100 billion globally by 2030, according to a World Economic Forum report. In this context, the concept of the metaverse refers to a convergence of technologies including simulations, sensors, augmented reality, and 3D standards. Varvn Aryacetas, Deloitte’s AI strategy and innovation practice leader for the UK, prefers to describe it as spatial computing. “It’s about bridging the physical world with the digital world,” he says. This can include training in virtual reality, digital product design, and virtual simulations of physical spaces such as factories.

In 2022, Nvidia—the games graphics company that now powers AI with its GPUs—unveiled Omniverse, a set of tools for building simulations, running digital twins, and powering automation. It acts as a platform for the industrial metaverse. “This is a general technology—it can be used for all kinds of things,” says Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation technology at Nvidia. “I mean, representing the real world inside a computer simulation is just very useful for a lot of things—but it’s absolutely essential for building any system that has autonomy in it.”

Home improvement chain Lowe’s uses the platform to test new layouts in digital twins before building them in its physical stores. Zaha Hadid Architects creates virtual models of its projects for remote collaboration. Amazon simulates warehouses to train virtual robots before letting real ones join the floor. And BMW has built virtual models for all its sites, including its newest factory in Debrecen, Hungary, which was planned and tested virtually before construction.

To simulate its entire manufacturing process, BMW filled its virtual factories with 3D models of its cars, equipment, and even people. It created these elements in an open-source file format originated by Pixar called Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD), with Omniverse providing the technical foundation for the virtual models and BMW creating its own software layers on top, explains Matthias Mayr, virtual factory specialist at BMW.

“If you imagine a factory that would take half an hour to walk from one side to the other side, you can imagine it’s also quite a large model,” Mayr says. Hence turning to a gaming company for the technology—they know how to render scenes you can run through. Early versions of the virtual factory even had gaming-style WASD keyboard navigation, but this was dropped in favor of a click-based interface akin to exploring Google Street View in a browser, so anyone could easily find their way.

BMW also uses Omniverse for collaboration on car design and customization visualizations for customers, but a key benefit is being able to model production lines. New cars mean a new assembly process, but refitting a factory is a daunting process. Previously, key information was held in silos—production crews understood details of the assembly process, external suppliers had specs of new parts or machinery, architects had detailed building plans—and costs would pile up for every delay or mistake. “The later you find a problem, the worse it is,” says Lebaredian.

Now, problems are worked out virtually, with a central location for standardized data to be held. There’s still a critical human element: Mapping a facility requires sending a laser scanner strapped to a person running through a factory to capture point cloud data about how everything is arranged. Design engineers also need to create a 3D model of every stage of a car as it’s assembled. This level of detail allows BMW to virtually test the assembly process, complete with simulations of robotics, machines, and even human workers, as BMW has data tracking how long it takes employees to assemble a part.

The main idea is to avoid errors—does that machine even fit there?—but the system also enables optimization, such as moving a rack of components closer to a particular station to save steps for human assemblers. “You can optimize first and gain a lot of efficiency in the first production, and in the construction phase, you have fewer mistakes,” Mayr says. “It’s less error prone.”

Omniverse being a Nvidia platform, AI is naturally next. BMW is already layering in generative AI to help with navigation of its virtual models—they’re so massive that finding a particular point in the digital factory can still require asking a human expert for directions. But the aim is to use AI to optimize production lines too. “Because you have the whole data available, not just for one plant, it will be able to make good suggestions,” says Mayr—lessons learned in one factory could more easily be applied to others.

And then there’s robotics and other autonomous systems. Here, Omniverse can offer a digital space for testing before deploying in the real world, but it can also generate synthetic training data by running simulations, just as driverless car systems are trained with virtual video footage generated by AI. “Real-world experience isn’t going to come mostly from the real world—it comes from simulation,” says Lebaredian.

Aryacetas predicts that the biggest impact from the industrial metaverse will be embodied or physical AI—in other words, robots. “Robots aren’t fully there yet, but they’re rapidly training up to understand the physical world around them—and that’s being done because of these underlying spatial computing technologies,” he says.

The future of the metaverse isn’t avatars in a virtual world; it’s digital twins teaching industrial robots how to step out into the physical one.

Salisbury Autistic Care - The Sensory Haven Future Homes for Autistic People

Salisbury Autistic Care: Creating Inclusive Communities for Individuals on the Autism Spectrum is putting its best foot forward by designing homes best suited for autistic individuals. Efforts are made to provide an environment where those on the autism spectrum can thrive and feel at ease.

In this discussion, we'll explore how Salisbury's real estate sector is designing homes with the latest innovations that prioritize the safety concerns of these individuals.

Let's discover together how the latest innovative homes are reshaping the landscape of inclusive living.

Smart Home Technology: Real estate is focusing on installing homes with smart home devices that can be controlled remotely or automated to perform tasks autonomously. It includes devices like voice-activated assistants (like Amazon Alexa or Google Home), smart thermostats, lighting systems, and security cameras that can greatly improve the autonomy and comfort of individuals with autism. These technologies can be programmed to adjust environmental factors according to the individual's preferences, providing a sense of control and reducing sensory overload.

Communication Apps and Devices: Many autistic people face trouble in communication. However, integrating communication apps and devices within the property can facilitate effective communication. It will help them by assisting in conveying their message to their caregivers. These may include augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) apps, picture exchange communication systems (PECS), or specialized devices that support speech output.

Safety and Monitoring Solutions: Autistic individuals are not much aware of their safety in the surrounding environment. As a result, they may unintentionally engage in behaviors that could put their well-being at risk. Technology can play a crucial role in ensuring their safety. GPS tracking devices, door alarms, and wearable sensors can alert caregivers if a resident leaves the property or enters restricted areas, allowing for timely intervention. Additionally, smart locks and security systems can enhance overall safety within the property.

Sensory Regulation Tools: Many individuals with autism are sensitive to sensory stimuli. The real estate must focus on designing calming sensory rooms with soft lighting, comfortable seating, tactile objects, soothing music or sounds, and visual projections. Interactive projections or immersive virtual reality experiences can provide engaging and customizable sensory experiences, allowing individuals with autism to explore different sensory inputs in a controlled and therapeutic environment.

Data Collection and Analysis: Homes installed with smart sensors can help in tracking daily behavior patterns like sleep patterns, activity levels, or emotional states, providing valuable insights about the individual. This information can be used to create personalized care plans and interventions.

Educational and Therapeutic Resources: Integrating educational and therapeutic resources within autism care properties empowers residents to engage in meaningful activities and skill-building exercises that support their development and enhance their quality of life. Smart home technology helps them to have access to educational and therapeutic sessions that promote learning, growth, and self-confidence for individuals with autism.

Conclusion

Through these advancements, Salisbury Autistic Care — Most Desirable Areas to Live in is not only addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by autistic individuals but also trying to create surroundings where they can feel safe and comfortable. By prioritizing safety, communication, sensory comfort, and personalized support, these homes are reshaping the landscape of inclusive living and setting a new standard for the integration of technology and compassion in real estate development.

Large, sweeping structures resembling horns or arches rise from the canyon floor, often lit by glowing lights at night, giving the city a mystical aura. Some buildings are carved directly into the canyon walls, with smooth, organic forms that mimic the natural rock formations.

Housing:Nirin’s housing varies from communal dwellings in rural villages to more elaborate homes in urban areas. The wealthier residents live in larger homes equipped with water conservation systems, crucial in a desert environment. These homes often feature outdoor patios and gardens, where residents can enjoy the cooler desert evenings. The city’s layout incorporates elevated walkways and platforms, which provide easy access to different levels of the canyon city and offer stunning views of the surrounding desert.

For those seeking more modern transport, sports cars and bikes are common, and skateboards are often used for short distances.

Exploring the World of Fashion Jewellery Online: A Contemporary Trend

In today's fast-paced digital age, the way we shop for jewellery has undergone a significant transformation. Gone are the days when a visit to a physical store was the only option to explore and purchase jewellery pieces. With the advent of e-commerce, the world of fashion jewellery has expanded into the online realm, offering consumers a plethora of options at their fingertips. From statement necklaces to delicate earrings, the online marketplace is brimming with endless possibilities, catering to diverse tastes and preferences.

With just a few clicks, shoppers can browse through a vast array of designs from the comfort of their homes or while on the go. This convenience is particularly appealing to individuals with busy schedules who may not have the time to visit physical stores. Additionally, online platforms operate 24/7, allowing consumers to shop at their convenience, regardless of the time zone they reside in.

Variety and Accessibility

Online jewellery stores boast an extensive selection of pieces, ranging from classic designs to trendy, contemporary styles. Whether you're searching for timeless pearls, bohemian-inspired pieces, or bold statement jewellery, the online marketplace caters to every taste and aesthetic. Moreover, online platforms provide access to jewellery designers and brands from around the globe, allowing consumers to discover unique and eclectic pieces that may not be readily available in their local stores.

Customization and Personalization

Another compelling aspect of shopping for fashion jewellery online is the ability to customize and personalize pieces according to individual preferences.

Additionally, some platforms utilize advanced technology, such as augmented reality, to provide virtual try-on experiences, enabling shoppers to see how a piece will look before making a purchase.

Price Transparency and Comparison

Online shopping facilitates easy price comparison among different retailers, empowering consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. With just a few clicks, shoppers can compare prices, read reviews, and evaluate the quality and craftsmanship of various jewellery pieces. Additionally, online platforms often offer exclusive discounts, promotions, and sales, allowing customers to snag their favorite pieces at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

Secure Transactions and Customer Satisfaction

Concerns about the security of online transactions are understandable, particularly when purchasing valuable items like jewellery. However, reputable online jewellery stores prioritize the security of their customers' personal and financial information by implementing stringent security measures, such as encryption and secure payment gateways. Furthermore, many online retailers offer hassle-free return policies and excellent customer service to ensure a seamless shopping experience and customer satisfaction.

Embracing Sustainability and Ethical Practices

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for sustainable and ethically sourced jewellery, driven by increasing consumer awareness about environmental and social issues. Many online jewellery brands are responding to this demand by embracing sustainable practices, such as using recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones, and promoting transparency throughout their supply chains. By choosing to purchase fashion jewellery online from brands committed to sustainability and ethical sourcing, consumers can make a positive impact on the environment and support responsible business practices.

The Future of Fashion Jewellery Online

As technology continues to advance and consumer preferences evolve, the landscape of fashion jewellery online will undoubtedly undergo further transformations. From innovative customization options to immersive virtual shopping experiences, the possibilities are endless. However, one thing remains certain – the convenience, variety, and accessibility offered by online platforms will continue to shape the way we shop for and interact with fashion jewellery in the years to come.

The Future of Real Estate Photography: Emerging Technologies

The real estate industry is constantly evolving, fueled by emerging technologies that disrupt traditional practices. When it comes to real estate photography, several new technologies are shaping the future of the field. Here are a few notable ones:

1. 360-Degree Virtual Tours: 360-degree virtual tours allow potential buyers to explore a property virtually, providing a more immersive experience than static photographs or videos. With specialized cameras and software, real estate photographers can capture every angle of a space and stitch them together to create a seamless, interactive tour. This technology enables buyers to digitally walk through a property, assessing each room and corner from the comfort of their own homes.

2. Augmented Reality (AR): Augmented reality has the potential to revolutionize real estate photography by overlaying virtual elements onto the real world. With AR, potential buyers can use their smartphones or devices to view a property and see digital furniture, decor, or other design elements placed within the space. This allows them to visualize different design choices and evaluate how a property could look once furnished – all without physically staging a space.

3. Virtual Reality (VR): Virtual reality technology immerses potential buyers in a digitally created environment, providing a fully immersive experience. In real estate photography, this means creating a virtual walkthrough where buyers can navigate a property using virtual reality headsets. The technology allows buyers to feel as if they are physically present in the property https://bokomedia.com/, exploring it from room to room, evaluating the size, layout, and ambiance in a way that traditional photographs or videos cannot provide.

4. AI-Driven Image Recognition: Artificial intelligence-driven image recognition technology can streamline the real estate photography process and enhance the quality of images. This technology uses algorithms to analyze and categorize photographs, automatically identifying and tagging elements in the images such as room types, furnishings, and architectural features. This can save time for real estate photographers and help potential buyers quickly find relevant properties based on their specific interests and preferences.

5. Drones and Advanced Aerial Photography: As mentioned in a previous article, drones are already playing a significant role in real estate photography. However, technological advancements in drone capabilities, such as improved camera stabilization and maneuverability, are making aerial photography even more accessible and stunning. Enhanced drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced flight control systems can capture breathtaking aerial shots, showcasing the exterior and surroundings of a property from unique perspectives.

In conclusion, emerging technologies are reshaping the future of real estate photography. From 360-degree virtual tours and augmented reality to virtual reality and AI-driven image recognition, these technologies provide potential buyers with an immersive and interactive experience. As these technologies continue to evolve and become more accessible, they will undoubtedly transform the way properties are marketed and sold in the real estate industry.
