Overview

Tay is an Aigai scene member in Scenebux. She first appears around the Oakland party connected to Aigai House and later reappears at the Aigai House party where Ben Etxina meets Carl Froht.

At the Oakland party, Ben describes Tay as a pale young woman with brown hair, a tank top, jeans, and an age close to his own. At Aigai House he sees her in a black sequined dress with an exaggerated hourglass figure.

Role

At the earlier scene party, Tay is associated with sex vlogging, explicit travel videos, and a sensor-based orgasm study. Later, Lin Jiao tells Ben that Tay is fundraising for a child-sex-doll project that Tay frames as harm reduction for pedophiles.

At Aigai House, Tay tells Ben that Carl owns or used to own the house and describes Froht as a great man, using the term chakravartin. She also offers to wash Ben in the bathroom tub. Ben declines and moves away from her, treating the party and its politics with growing unease.

Social Proof

Tay attends gatherings at Social Proof, a Tenderloin nightclub funded by Homonoid Labs. During renovation she blocks Ben’s approach to the basement, explaining that soundproofing is being installed for an experimental music studio and another activity he cannot make out. At the same gathering, Sara Whaitmore publicly accuses Tay of sending nude pictures to her husband.

Lin relays Tay’s claim that the intruder who stole Homonoid’s conversational model used JIMMY-1, a specialized hacking tool commissioned by Gabriel Findhom. That reported connection helps direct Lin’s early suspicions toward Froht’s former associates.

After Ben returns from Macau, he finds Tay having rough sex with Dante Amōgos in the club’s soundproofed basement. She plays the model Hammett, answering as Hammie during the scene, and identifies the activity as consensual non-consent. She invites Ben to take a turn, but Dante refuses because he lacks membership, safety training and paid dues.
