TDM 003: #BEACHBUMS

I. BEACH Welcome arrivals, new and old! The skies on Erku may be perpetually gray, but the weather has taken a sudden turn to summertime heat. Fortunately, soaring temperatures have chased away more of the strange fog that conceals so much of the island, unveiling a charming, sandy cove dotted here and there with rustic love shacks. These shabby little lean-tos are dusty and sparse, but they provide everything one (or two, wink wink) might need for a little relief from the sun. Just don’t wander too far... that fog has memory-loss properties. II. DRINKS The 'bots are very apologetic about the whole fog incident, and they are trying to get on the new arrivals' good sides by giving out fancy drinks. Of course, they still haven't mastered the art of making things properly, so each drink has a little something... extra. Geloso: Has a slightly bitter, yet refreshing herbal taste... and it will make you feel inexplicably envious of virtually anything, to a petty degree! Be it someone else’s shoes or their incredibly muscular physique, you’re jealous enough to tell them about it! Colpito: Fruity and sweet like candy. If you drink this, you will feel hopelessly infatuated with the very next person who catches your eye! Vivace: Delightfully tart, with a flavor somewhere between citrus and raspberry. This summery drink will fill you with bubbly energy. Whether you’re feeling flirty or just mischievous and playful, you’ve never felt more alive! Verace: Creamy, earthy, and a little nutty - the flavor is hard to describe, but delicious. After drinking this, you’ll feel strangely compelled to spill something you’ve been keeping a secret, no matter how incriminating or embarrassing. Conoscere: The robots are especially excited about this flavor! They’ve heard organic beings enjoy chocolate, and hope you like their first attempt (it’s a little bitter, but it is chocolatey). Those who drink this will feel incredibly confident and sensual. Better yet, if you share it with a partner - which the 'bots encourage you to do - you’ll find that every touch is enhanced, and every sensation is shared between the two of you. A lucky few may even be able to sense one another’s thoughts! III. SNACKS Lo! As you ask, the Augur shall provide. Thanks to the efforts of your organic predecessors in restoring the planet’s Eros energy, edible fishes and seaweeds have returned to the ponds and the shores of Erku. If you fancy yourself savvy to basic survival skills, why not fashion up a fishing rod and catch yourself dinner? Just be careful if you happen to hook one of the octopus creatures from the deeper waters - they can be quite forward with their tentacles! Or, if primitive angling isn’t in your repertoire, you can always trade some credits for a tasty catch from one of the food stalls along the coast. Most stalls are manned by 'bots, but there’s nothing stopping an enterprising arrival from setting up shop. No credits? No problem! The robots have also provided a bit of entertainment, and any volunteers to man the kissing booth, get dunked in the wet t-shirt dunk tank, or grill up some fish - among other opportunities - will find credits automatically loaded onto the payment app of their bracelet devices. The 'bots are recruiting especially hard for participants to work in the gloryhole tent! IV. SPARKLES As dusk descends, the white sands of the beach suddenly come alive with glittering lights. It’s as if the darkened waters have carried a thousand shining stars from the depths of the sea to the shores of the cove. In actuality, each little twinkle is a bioluminescent plankton or jellyfish! Feel free to wade among them and admire their shine; even the sting of the jellies won’t hurt you... though they do pack a different punch. The tentacles of the jellyfish elicit a powerful aphrodisiac response, which gets the heart racing and the blood pumping for an intimate touch. The effects come on within a matter of minutes, and last for a few hours. Only time will relieve the symptoms, but a partner will help to make it more bearable. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

[videnije]

( glory to the losers )

[ well.

they had been wanting to get drunk and find a nice club for a while now. given the state of the polity, though, she didn't think she'd be getting access to such a thing so soon.

valentina squints gently at the crowd around them on the beach. they're still dressed in their protective suit and their cloak, which might be a bit too warm for the weather on this beach. but it wasn't like they had anything else to wear at the moment, not while being credit-less.

she gives a gentle 'hmph', folding her arms. nearby, one of the bots is talking to someone about a glory hole tent, which makes her tilt her head a little, listening in. there are plenty of other booths recruiting, but this bot seems particularly frantic, which makes her smirk a little.

all right, easy credits then.

a little while later, still in her suit, she's lounging behind one of the walls set up in the booth, fiddling with her new bracelet. she hears someone step into the booth beside her, and she moves to kneel in front of the hole - which is large enough for anyone's equipment. when no dick is forthcoming immediately, she reaches up and taps the wall. ]

Well? I would not expect someone to be shy in this place.

( verace, not versace )

[ it doesn't take much work, in valentina's opinion, to get enough money for what she needs, which is better clothes - and a drink. she leaves to secure her gen:LOCK suit in the upload pod, and comes back wearing a pair of sandals, a dark purple one-piece with a deep neckline, and a white shirt over that. to drink, she chooses the verace because it sounds good, from the description.

of course, not knowing the effect, she begins eyeing up other beach-goers for potential conquests. a little while later, she approaches someone boldly, drink in hand, and reaches out to tug on the material of their shirt, jacket or bikini top. ]

This is not a good look on you. I think it'd look much better on the ground.

[ the problem is, as flirty as she is coming off... she also seems genuine about hating the shirt. ]

( in russia, sea is under you )

[ when night falls and she's still a little tipsy from her last drink, the beach lights up and she looks entranced. indeed, she kicks off her shoes and makes the bold, foolish decision to step into the water, disturbing the plankton and jellyfish.

the sting makes her laugh. ]

You are not hurting me, little creature.

[ she speaks in russian, smirking and kicking her foot out at the jellyfish, causing a little splash. ]

(ooc: i'll match prose or brackets! feel free to wildcard me as well~)

glory

[quickerer]

[Octavio had manned a kissing booth for a little while but had quickly gotten bored. This sounds like it might be a quicker way to make a, well, quick buck.

He waits for a moment, hearing some movement on the other side of the wall. Tugging his mask down, he's expecting something to come through the hole and it... doesn't. He opens his mouth to say something when she beats him to the punch.]

And here I was waiting on you. [His voice, even muffled, is thick with a Spanish accent. There's a faint sound of hydraulics and the rustle of fabric and a zipper. Stepping closer to the wall, he speedily jerks himself off, trying to get hard before pushing his half-hard cock through the hole. There's a glint of metal. He's pierced, a neat four barbells that make up a jacob's ladder.]

bless someone took up the prompt

[videnije]

[ there's a beat and then a laugh from the other side of the wall. ]

Well, maybe you get a chance after.

[ either way, she tilts her head listening to the sound of hydraulics - prosthetics? - before the half hard cock pushes through. she gives a gentle snort, reaching up a hand to curl around his cock, fingers teasing against the barbells. she presses her tongue against the head of his cock, flicking it as she strokes firmly, trying to get him fully hard. if he does peek through the space of the gloryhole, he'll see finely manicured, dark purple nails, along with dark lips. ]

hehe of course

[quickerer]

Hmm, not sure my tongue's that long, hermosa.

[The metal of his prosthetic feet thud bluntly against the wall as he tries to press closer to make things easier. He's not embarrassed to admit that this was his first time to try this kind of thing and he's really not sure he likes it. In concept, the anonymity thing is pretty hot, but in practice, trying to press against a wall isn't the most comfortable thing.

He can't help but sigh as she teases her fingers across the barbells, getting hard in her hand quickly. Despite the wall, he does manage to glance down, catching fleeting glimpses of her fingers and nails. He finds himself panting more loudly than usual so she might hear him. Other than his leaking cock, it was really the only cue he could give her that he was enjoying himself.]

inb4 the wall falls down lol

[videnije]

[ she'd offer a witty comment - we won't know until you try - but her mouth is rather occupied now.

she was intending to make quick work of this if she could, given the situation - but the fact that there's a little panting going on that she can hear, the sound of feet scuffling against the wall - well, it's cute. like he's trying to tell her she's doing a good job. (she knows she is, but still, cute).

after a moment she grins a little, leaning closer to the wall. she takes her hand away from him but follows it up by pressing her mouth as close as she can, taking him as deep as they can manage with the wall between them. she minds the piercings to make sure they don't catch against her teeth as she ducks her head forward, but flexes her tongue against them, giving a gentle groan. ]

(verace, not versace )

[whiteplume]

[Jingyi was just minding his own business idly enjoying the sights and sounds when someone with bright purple hair suddenly comments on his attire. While Jingyi wasn't exactly dressed for the beach, he didn't think his white and blue robes looked that out of place here. After all, some of the beachgoers here could stand to have a bit more modesty.

He saw a bit too much skin earlier.]

Excuse me?

[He can't help but arch his brow a little once they start tugging at his sleeve. Truth be told, he's not used to people being so casual.]

As if whatever you're wearing is any better.

[So says the man who's low-key appreciating their form-fitting attire. The people of this world are something else.]

jingyiiiiiii

[videnije]

[ he's still gonna be seeing a bit too much skin - val's swimsuit doesn't hide much, and the shirt isn't much better that's sitting over it.

still, she arches her own brow at him, feeling the fabric of the shirt between her fingers. it's a nice texture, but the design. ]

The patterns look like they were done by a child.

[ and of course, at his comment, she smirks, letting go and placing a hand on her hip. ]

I at least look like I am ready for the beach... not the bath.

Val~! <3

[whiteplume]

[Judging by the glare he gives her, Jingyi isn't impressed.]

So says the woman wearing nothing more than mere strips of cloth.

[He grumbles before swatting her hands off him with his ornate blue and white fan. It's hot here, okay? Even with the faint breeze and light overcast, it's scorching out. It must be the humidity or something. Jingyi doesn't remember ever sweating this badly.]

Besides rampant nudity, how does one prepare for the beach?

[Jingyi isn't interested in sunbathing. He'll just end up burning.]

[videnije]

Ah, but at least I make these strips of cloth look good.

[ she shrugs one shoulder, still smirking even as he bats her hands away. honestly, half the reason she approached him, besides looking out of place, is because he doesn't look exactly human, what with the pointy ears and the wings.

when he asks that, she gives a little hum, tapping her chin. ]

Well, one would start with not wearing their bathrobe to it. [ hah. ] If I was not interested in nudity, I would go for clothes that are made of cloth or canvas, and breathe well. Bright colors are not a bad idea either, though here you may find your options... limited.

[ she nods to what is unmistakably a rack of hawaiian print shirts. ]

[whiteplume]

This not a bathrobe.

[He nearly growls. While Jingyi is quite accustomed to dealing with mortals, this woman is quickly getting on his nerves. He gives the purple-haired vixen a stern glare as she keeps jabbering on. Only half paying attention at this point, Jingyi ignores her momentarily in favor of stretching his wings.

Yes, he has wings. Two rather large peacock-like wings with rosy fuchsia feathers that fade into a soft lotus pink. Jingyi doesn't typically expose his wings out in public like this but after concealing them for so long, he just wanted the chance to stretch them in peace.

Too bad this woman is hellbent in disturbing him.]

I would rather not wear such poor cloth in public.

[He says with an air of disgust once he catches a glimpse of those Hawaiian shirts.]

Then again, I have sense enough to know dignity.

[He would rather die donning silk than wearing whatever the fresh hell is over there.]

[videnije]

[ oh, absolutely hellbent on telling him how much she hates that robe. it's strange, because normally she gives a snide comment and leaves it, but this is almost... fun, his annoyance. and she really hates that robe, too, for some reason. ]

Well, if you don't want something that looks like that, then you will have to play their little games.

[ she gestures to the augur bracelet around his wrist. ]

There is no better items unless we 'restore' this place through sex and other means. You might want to consider how much you want dignity.

[ as if she's anyone to talk - her dignity is one of those things she holds dear. but she doesn't consider engaging in sex or scandalous clothes to be undignified. ]

wildcard

[hello_again]

[As Val is walking around the booths primarily manned by robots they would spot one with a woman in what appeared to be bronze armor behind it instead. When they approached she would smile at them.]

Hello, would you like some fish? I caught more than I needed so you're welcome to them. I also caught an octopus that tried to attack me, but I admit I'm not exactly sure how to cook it.

[There was just a genuine, earnest kindness to the young woman. If there was any ill-intent she was exceedingly good at hiding it.]

/pretends you caught her before the glory

[videnije]

[ she's intrigued by the robots, admittedly, but the woman stands out like a sore thumb. she stops when she smiles at her, giving a small smile back. she seems earnest enough and not a threat. ]

I would but.. I am a little short on credits at the moment. [ that is to say, there's zero credits to her name. ] I could come back later, or we could work something out.

[hello_again]

Oh no, I'm not asking for any payment. I'm giving away my extra catch for free. We should help each other where we can in this situation, right?

[After a pause she adds,]

If you really want to trade though you could tell me about yourself?

[Realizing she hadn't introduced herself she quickly says,]

I'm sorry, where are my manners? I'm Pyrrha Nikos, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[videnije]

[ she seems a bit surprised that the other woman is offering to just share it, but she's not in a position to turn her down, either. when she introduces herself, she quirks her lips up a little bit. ]

I am Valentina Romanyszyn. A pleasure to meet you as well. [ she says the last name like romanishin. she raises her fingers to tap her chin, thinking. ]

As for about me... I am simple. I want to enjoy my time here on this planet before the world ends.

[hello_again]

[The answer clearly surprised Pyrrha, taking a second to even come up with a response.]

I hope you forgive my saying so, but that seems like a pretty bleak outlook.

[All the same she prepared a plate of grilled fish for Valentina.]

Is it alright if I ask where you're from? Mistral? or judging from that suit maybe Atlas?

[She had met more people from her world than not so she still wasn't quite grasping the range of worlds people were from yet.]

glory ; only cool people hit TDMs after the character's already in...

[thorniest]

[Shy? You could say that. Not many people who'd spoken to Kaine - or even heard her speak - would guess it, but there were few things that terrified her as much as human interaction... and, of the many ways humans related, none terrified her more than sex.

None fascinated her more, either.

That's why she was in this tent, after all. Anonymity. Being known biblically, without being known personally. Just one stranger helping another off! What could be more inviting than that?

Still, it was hard to unlearn decades of terror and shame, even with that perfectly reasonable string of counterarguments... and, so, she hesitated. With cock in hand and fear in her heart, she stared at that hole, as if she could burn a second, metaphorical hole in it with her eyes--

...and then Val knocked on the wall, and Kaine nearly jumped out of her skin.

Idiot. Of course her hesitation wouldn't go unnoticed. Hell, any more dithering, and she probably risked a proper investigation; twice as terrifying, half as sexy, and infinitely more likely to out her.

Fine. Time to nut or get off the pot.

Kaine gives a sharp knock in answer, not trusting herself to disguise her voice; a woman's voice would raise questions, after all, and questions were the enemy. She wraps her bandaged hand around the base of her cock - as much to obscure the rest of her crotch as to steady the already-twitching member - and, with a final, deep breath, pushes it through the hole.]

the BEST people

[videnije]

[ val assumes the hesitation does have something to do with nerves. people here are from all walks of life, after all, and some may be less comfortable walking into a place like this than she was. for her part she enjoys the anonymity, and since her purpose is to earn credits, she prefers it even more.

there's the sound of movement, and then a cock is pushed through the hole, the only other sight through it those bandaged fingers of kaine's. still, considering she thinks this might be because of nerves, she can't help a comment. ]

There you go, [ she croons a bit in her russian accent, raising her hand to trace her finger along the underside of the cock presented to her and tap the head teasingly. ] I'll take good care of you.

[ and with that, she sets to work. she braces her hands on the wall and leans down to press a kiss to the head of kaine's cock, ducking her tongue out after a moment to swirl her tongue around the head. ]

[thorniest]

[Kaine can't help but redden at the encouragement; another reason to be grateful for their separation. Is it embarrassment? Arousal? Or just the odd, new feeling of being spoken to as... as someone to be pampered, serviced. 'Taken care of'.

Maybe it's all of the above.

Whatever it is, it sends a shudder through Kaine, a shudder made all the more intense by that teasing touch. As simple as it is, the mystery - sensory deprivation, almost - makes her all the more sensitive; and, so, when those soft lips press against the head of her cock, soon after joined by that strong, slippery tongue, it's all she can do to bite back a curse.

A moan escaped her lips regardless.]

Nnn-!

[Her hips inch forward, pressing the hand at her cock into the dividing 'wall', and the head of her cock against Val's lips and tongue. She was, at once, both trying to offer herself up more fully, and asking for more; her eagerness was, undoubtedly, a testament to her inexperience.

Or maybe Val was just that good, despite how little they'd yet done.]

[videnije]

[ valentina is at least ready for the push, expecting it; the reason didn't matter why, but most begin seeking more soon after, in her experience.

so she keeps the commentary to herself, for the moment, instead letting the head of kaine's cock skid against her tongue, leaning in to close her lips around her shaft. it's not hard to get working from there, ducking her head down and letting her tongue stroke against the underside of her cock, cheeks hollowing slightly. ]

sea

[canceller]

[As full as his mind is, Jeremiah's given up on trying to turn in for the night just yet. Sitting and doing nothing leaves him only with his thoughts, so he's spending his time doing what he's been doing all day: pacing like he's going to find answers if he just looks for them hard enough. Futile, he suspects, but it eases his conscience.

He's not even that far in his trek down the full length of the beach, however, before the sight of someone actually in the water sends alarms ringing in his head. Picking up his stroll to a swift jog, he's not quite as nimble as he was before arriving here but closes the distance quickly enough to where he can call out. Stern, not just from how he has to project his voice, but out of the same concern others have afforded him.]

You should come out of the water at once. It's not safe.

[videnije]

[ valentina looks up after a moment when she hears a voice calling to her, blinking a little before she smiles. she steps out of the water, but it could hardly be called obediently - she damn near struts out.

and indeed, she steps up to jeremiah, reaching up to tap the side of his face with one finger. ]

You have no need of worry, I will be fine.

[ she is definitely tipsy, and soon to be afflicted by a sexy jellfish sting, too. ]</small.

[canceller]

[The body language is warning enough. Whether influenced or not, some simply take to this place differently, he's discovered. Her touch doesn't surprise him, even as he tilts his cheek away. Honestly.]

You sound awfully sure of that. There are few things here that don't pose some sort of threat.

[If you can call horniness a threat. He is, evidently.]

[videnije]

[ even as tipsy and drugged as she is, when he leans away she obligingly drops her hand, watching him through lidded eyes. at his comment, though, she gives a gentle laugh. ]

Give the monsters a wide enough berth, and the only thing you have worry of is ending up with a bit more in your drink than you intended.

[ now, normally, that would piss her the fuck off. she takes drugs willingly, not unwillingly, but she's also seen the kind of place this is. she's also playing it off lighter for her own sake, perhaps. ]

Or in the jellyfish.

wtf I thought I hit post yesterday

[canceller]

[Talk about something he really should have found the time to seek at some point in the day. Jeremiah could use more than the single drink he'd received off the last handsy stranger he's met, but there was already so much going on in the day. He couldn't possibly have absorbed or done everything.

Including the full extent of the ocean's sea life.]

There are jellyfish? [Ominous. Very ominous. He'd only seen plankton, and it had rendered no effect on him. He examines Valentina with a more careful eye, that... wow, is really hard not to misconstrue when someone is bearing skin. His gaze flicks back to her face, expression carefully neutral.]

Were you stung, by any chance?
