# Interaction & role-play lifecycle

> How the companion comes to life and how shared intimate scenes are experienced.

How the companion comes to life, how shared intimate scenes are driven, and how role-play flows through a scene.

## Waking up and the main menu

When you attach the companion it "wakes up" and, if this is your first time, walks you through creating a character. After that, touching it opens an interactive menu where you reach your profile, settings, searches, the store, help, and any add-ons you own. Between actions it sits in a calm, idle mode, quietly keeping your character's biology and stats up to date.

## Starting a scene with a partner

When another user of the system is nearby, you can begin a shared scene together. The companion looks at **both** characters — their bodies, forms, and the personal limits each of you set — and only offers actions that make sense for the two of you. Scenes are organised into kinds of intimacy (for example oral, penetrative, breeding, and egg-laying), each with its own set of moves.

## During a scene

* You pick moves from a menu; your partner sees and responds to what happens.
* Actions affect your **stats** — arousal builds, stamina drains, and so on.
* Reaching a climax can transfer **fluids** between characters, which is what makes conception possible (see [Reproduction & genetics](/system-guide/reproduction-and-genetics)).
* If you have add-on devices or an AI companion enabled, they react in real time — narrating, buzzing a connected toy, or triggering special effects.
* You can stop at any time; consent and your personal limits are always respected, and the scene ends cleanly, returning you to the idle mode.

## Your limits are always in charge

Everything offered during a scene is filtered by your body and by the content limits you configure. If something isn't possible or isn't allowed for your character, it simply won't be offered.
