Vanessa gets some answers at the town hall

"Excuse me," Vanessa said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I'm looking for information about the 'FU' initiative. Do you happen to know anything about it?"

The receptionist looked at her blankly for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, I've heard of it." "I'll see if the coordinator of the FUI is in. He's the best one to answer your questions about the initiative", the receptionist said and picked up his phone to make a call.

Vanessa felt her heart race as she waited for the receptionist's call to be answered. She tried to calm her nerves by taking deep breaths and reminding herself that she had to stay focused on finding answers. After what felt like an eternity, the receptionist hung up the phone and turned back to her. "The coordinator is available. Follow me," he said, leading her to a set of double doors. He knocked and opened one of the doors, revealing a spacious office. Inside sat a middle-aged man behind a desk, reading through some papers. He looked up as they entered. "Ah, Miss...?" "You already should know all about me, since I am in you initiative", Vanessa said impatiently, lifting up her arm to show the band. The man's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the FU band on her arm. He quickly recovered, smiling warmly at Vanessa. "Vanessa, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the coordinator for the FU initiative here in town. Please, have a seat."

Vanessa took a seat in one of the comfortable chairs in the room "Of course I know you. You were the first one ever to be included in the shortstack category. Women like you are like unicorns. You were a no-brainer for participation", the coordinator said, beaming with satisfaction.

Vanessa felt a small flicker of pride at his words but quickly suppressed it. She needed information, not compliments. "That's great to hear, but I'm here for a reason," she said, leaning forward in her chair. "I was hoping you could tell me more about this initiative." "Of course! As a newcomer, I am sure you have plenty of questions. First of all, you must be wondering why we're doing this?" Vanessa nodded, eager to hear more.

"Well, as you may know, there's a lot of experience about legalizing soft **** and how it has a positive effect of lowering **** related crime," the coordinator explained.

"So basically, it's about regulating **** and making sure people don't get into trouble for using them?" Vanessa asked, trying to understand the idea behind it.

"Exactly! Our little initiative is the same, but instead we are legalizing free use in the sexual sense. We hope to lower crime rates and increase the general happiness in this town."

Vanessa listened intently as the coordinator explained the concept behind the FU initiative. She found it hard to believe that something like this could actually work, but at the same time, she couldn't help but be intrigued by it. "Okay then, the agent or whatever told be that I need to be in public or I will be punished. How does that work?"

The coordinator nodded thoughtfully. "I understand your concern. As for how it works, we have designated certain areas in town as 'public spaces'. These include parks, malls, and other places where people gather. As long as you spend a reasonable time in these places each day, you should be fine."

"What is a reasonable time?", Vanessa demanded to know.

The coordinator leaned back in his chair, considering her question. "That depends on the individual," he said thoughtfully. "We take into account your daily routine, your work schedule, and other factors when determining what a reasonable time would be for you. In short, each violation is processed case by case as we haven't fully figured out the rules yet. But it's safe to say if you decide to stay at home for the entire day, you will surely be punished."

The coordinator pulled up his laptop and studied its screen. "I see you went to the beach today and chose a secluded spot, good job on that. Some people are squeamish about using their free use privilege in public, although it's their civic right as long as they're participating in the pilot." Vanessa's eyes widened as she listened to the coordinator's explanation. It seemed like there were more rules and regulations to this initiative than she had initially thought.

"So, what happens if I don't follow these rules?" she asked hesitantly.

The coordinator shrugged nonchalantly. "Trust me when I say you don't want to find out. I also see that you are currenly on a summer vacation and unemployed. That does raise our expectation levels of being publicly available." The coordinator seemed genuinely interested in helping Vanessa understand the ins and outs of this initiative. She started to feel a bit overwhelmed by the complexity of it all, but also strangely intrigued.

"So you're saying, if I had a job, I would have more leeway?", Vanessa asked.

The coordinator nodded in agreement. "Yes, we take into account your work schedule and other commitments when determining what is considered a reasonable time in public spaces. However, we also encourage everyone to use their free use privilege responsibly and not **** it."

"Thank you", said Vanessa, "I guess that answers my questions for now." With that, she left the town hall.
