Welcome to the corporate family. Here is your complimentary lanyard. You are now one of us.

Pulled directly from the swag bag of a 1998 tech conference that decided the future, this artifact identifies you as a "Virtual Person." It’s a relic from the golden age of the dial-up web, repurposed for the identity-optional hellscape of today.

It’s more than a strap for your keys. It's a leash. It proves you have a registered IP address and a taxable physical form. It tells the world you have logged on and are ready for business. Congratulations, user.

Specifications:

  • CLASSIFICATION: Corporate Identification Swag

  • FACTION: COM98 / Virtual People Division

  • AESTHETIC: Late-90s Tech Bubble optimism.

  • FUNCTION: To hold your keys while subtly reminding you of your corporate obligations.

  • HARDWARE: Durable weave with a standard, nostalgically gold-toned clasp.

  • STATUS: You've got mail. And a mandatory piece of corporate flair.
