Considering the size and transient nature of the City's population, it's remarkable how much infrastructure there actually is. The subway system is extremely well-maintained and goes everywhere. It reminds me of Tokyo's public transit system in a number of ways, except it's not nearly as clean.

The hospital offers a remarkable array of services -- including psychological. There aren't enough psychologists to handle a city this size, but contrary to popular belief, there are therapists in the City.

And of course, everybody knows about the police force. I've seen people complain that they do nothing, but when you actually monitor the calls that come in to the station, you discover that they are extremely busy. After all, there are at least ten non-network users for every one who posts regularly to the network. It is a big City.

Less well known but equally important is the fire department.

There is even an animal control division! They are small but surprisingly effective. They can bag & tag a stray animal in a matter of seconds, before that animal can even blink.

[tl;dr he got caught by animal control and is currently at the pound. HALP.]



[ooc: Open voice & action for all! If you want to go to the pound and pet the pretty kitty, go for it. :3 Mao will not be leaving the pound with anyone except Hei or Yin.]

Now that the snow's all gone, is there anyone who'd like to play cricket? If you don't know how, I can teach you.

If you just want to come watch, that's alright too.
