Welp

Okay, uh, I'm sorry it took me this many hours to remember to warn people about this stuff, but to my credit I was pretty distracted.

Anyway. So. We're in the late 1980s as far as things go by date, which means there's one thing everyone has to be pretty vigilant about and that's sex and drug safety. Because while I know this isn't my world, what I don't know is whether or not is if there's the same nasty disease going around that there was in my world's 1980s and I figure everyone should, like, follow some basic safety rules about that stuff. Just in case, but also because they're also good ideas anyway.

First, always, always, always wear a condom when you have sex with someone from this era. Even if you're on chemical birth control or your partner says they are. Even if you're both the same sex. Actually, especially if you're both male.

And second, if any of you are going to do drugs, for fuck's sake, always use a clean and sterilized needle and don't share them.

Please, just listen to me about this stuff. Hopefully, I'm just being paranoid, but I really don't want people to bring a nasty and ultimately fatal STD back to liminal.

And don't say 'well I'm not human, I'm safe', it doesn't work like that. There are illnesses out there that can get about everyone, even if you can't get sick normally. And some of them are really nasty.

In general, if you need to ingest any kind of bodily fluids of another person, no matter what species you are, try to go for someone who is the least likely to have an illness relating to the exchange of bodily fluids, like people who have a lot of sex, or people who engage in activities that are at a high risk of the exchange of bodily fluids like drug usage.
