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

[shangrilady]

[ No, being pretty makes him girly. His body is pretty built to be fair. ]

I'd still put you in a dress.

[ But, like, whatever. This kink stuff is confusing. More exciting: he'd actually do it huh? Elle blushes and thinks about it for a long moment. ]

Maybe? Hey, wait, I could...

[ She looks away, eyes a little wider. ]

You know, one of those... toys.

[spacerat]

Yeah, well, you're gonna have to sweet talk me a lot more than that to get me in one.

[ he doesn't think admitting he'd do it is worth that level of blush, but he's blushing too so he can't judge. he wrings out the end of his shirt - it's already starting to dry, though - and then when she mentions toys he tilts his head. ]

Huh? Oh wait, like one of those -

[ for lack of anything else coming to mind immediately, he gestures to his crotch, making the general shape of a dildo and harness over it. ]

- uhh, strap on or somethin'?

[shangrilady]

[ Dresses can wait, Elle's thinking about butts and the fact that people put things in them for fun now. Putting it in vague words is pretty tolerable, but once she thinks too specifically about her putting a toy up Duo's butt... right after meeting him... ]

Y-yeah! Strap-on, those things. Shouldn't be hard to find those around here right? Haha.

[spacerat]

[ listen, duo is a teenage boy. elle mentioned sex in any capacity and she's good-looking, so now he's basically ready to put his poor butt in her inexperienced hands.

her stumbling over her words a little has him peering at her a little. ]

Have you done it before?

[ it's curiosity, not judging. ]

[shangrilady]

Nnnope.

[ Very inexperienced hands. They'll be going on a brand new adventure together if they go for this. But that means thinking about buttholes. ]

If that makes you less enthusiastic I won't blame you.

[spacerat]

[ at her comment he gives a little laugh. ]

Nah, it'd be the first time I'd be messing around with that kinda stuff too, though I'm familiar with how it works.

[ is it porn? has he done it himself? don't ask too many questions. ]

So I'm game if you are.. and we can find something that doesn't make me wanna tape my legs closed.

[shangrilady]

[ You can only ask so many questions without it getting... weirder? Wow they're just talking about going for it huh? ]

Oh good, at least one of us is.

[ Gotta get. Lube? ]

I mean, we should probably hang out a bit too.

[spacerat]

[ hashtag zero shame. at her statement though, he nods. ]

I mean, yeah, it'd suck if we got halfway through and you decided I was better off actually getting a ball to my face instead.

[ he grins again. ]

Well, I just got some credits, so, want anything to eat? My treat.

[shangrilady]

Well it doesn't sound like I'll be getting balls in my face.

[ WINK. She feels stupid even saying it but it's still funny. ]

Uh, sure, I could probably eat like five more of those grilled fish.

[spacerat]

Oh my god.

[ he groans at the pun, reaching out to push her shoulder lightly. ]

Very funny. C'mon, I could probably put away a dozen or so myself, they're not that expensive to get.

[ to a nearby booth! this one is exciting because there's some kind of sauce on the fish. ]

[shangrilady]

[ Even though she deserves it, she shoves back. ]

This is like the best food I've had in ages.

[ Saucy fish! ]

[spacerat]

[ they will GET INTO A SHOVE FIGHT - okay no he takes the shove easily and laughs again.

once they've got some fish - indeed, half a dozen for her and a larger amount for duo, wrapped up in some thick paper holder - duo starts ambling towards the waterline. that seems as good a place as any?? ]

Oh yeah, it's pretty damn good. It beats the hell out of whatever you can shake up the robots for.

[shangrilady]

[ Elle is bigger she can win this.

If Elle hadn't already been nibbling her way around this weird party she'd have gotten more, but she's still gonna enjoy this meal too. ]

Ugh, fresh fish is almost enough to make me cry, I swear.

[spacerat]

Yeah. So that's what this Augur thing can do? Cause I remember there wasn't anything other than a little pond of fish before, but now there's a ton of these things hopping around.

[ he gestures with one piece of fish to the waterline. ]

Hell, you couldn't even swim down here before, we checked.

[shangrilady]

Yep. Stuff like this... is why I gotta fuck you in the ass.

[ Munch. Chew. Try not to laugh, in order to avoid choking. ]

I mean, it's kind of easier than fixing stuff ourselves though right?

[spacerat]

[ he accidentally startles so hard he drops the half-eaten fish into the water. oh nooooo. he pouts and grabs another. ]

Hey, keep that up and you're definitely not seeing me in a dress anytime soon. Or I'll try to get you a clown suit or something.

[ party city here we go. ]

I suppose. I kind of like actually working with my hands, though, but the only thing I've been able to work on here is my mobile suit.

[shangrilady]

It's gone home.

[ Good bye fish. ]

I think a clown fucking a guy in a dress counts for some kinda kink right?

[ Maybe he can stick it in her butt too.

...anyways, she perks up at the mention of mobile suits. Another one, huh? ]

Wait wait wait, don't tell me your buddy is... that Heero guy?

[spacerat]

It's a darn waste is what it is.

[ the sea is now saucy. ]

Maybe, but it sounds more like the setup to some kind of bad pun.

[ when she perks up and then mentions heero's name, duo's eyebrows go up and he finishes his bite and swallows. ]

If you mean Heero Yuy, then yeah. He and I fought in the war together.

[shangrilady]

[ Delicious. ]

Yeah, I uh, hung out with him in a fancy bath?

[ Naked. He didn't seem to really notice. ]

I uh, did the whole... mobile suit pilot thing too. Even have mine here. Well 'mine', the one I spent the most time in anyways.

[spacerat]

Well, hopefully he enjoyed it. He could stand to cut loose once in a while.

[ he perks up when she mentions a mobile suit. ]

Yeah, about that.. is yours one of the ones that's also made from Gundanium alloy?

[ purely because it had been such a shock to see other gundams that weren't the set he was intimately familiar with. ]

[shangrilady]

We, uh, talked about war a lot.

[ He's not really chatty, unless it's dramatic, apparently. ]

Just uh...

[ Elle squints, thinking. ]

Titanium-ceramic composite, I think the manual said? But it's a Gundam-style design.

[spacerat]

Well... yeah, that's Heero, he thinks about those kinds of things a lot.

[ so just a normal day for heero. duo tilts his head, listening to what she says, and after a moment nods. ]

Yeah. Gundanium is so rare where we're from, that a lot of designs were tested in the style before they actually built ones made from it, so that tracks.

[ he nibbles on his fish. ]

Mine is one of the Gundams, but believe me, they're a lot of trouble. Even more concerning that it's here because... I destroyed it after we stopped the war.

[shangrilady]

[ Not like she hasn't done some war herself. ]

Mm. We're in slightly different worlds. So like... they call it 'Gundarium' and that was after the first Gundam I think? But it's not as rare as that sounds.

[ It's all just fancy space titanium too. ]

...weapons are trouble. If there wasn't so damn much already...

[spacerat]

Yeah, it sounds like they're both just a step to the side. Gundanium alloy can only be made in zero-g, so it has to be formed in space.

[ it's all very neat and sciency, and duo only knows it's history in order to recognize the alloy on sight should he come across any.

when she says that, he sighs heavily. ]

Yeah. We were working on disarmament when someone tried to start another war... and when we dealt with that, we decided to get rid of the Gundams so no one could use us or them to start more wars.

[ he's not innocent enough to think there won't be someone else trying to make mobile suits, but they proved they could use standard-issue ones if needed. ]

Peace is difficult, and you have to earn it and keep earning it.

[ after a moment, he laughs. ]

I sound like Heero.

[shangrilady]

They make Gundarium on the moon so it's similar, I guess?

[ Only the RX-78 was the only hilariously indestructible Gundam like the ones Duo's used to, and that was long since past by the end of the One Year War.

Disarmament. Sounds like a hell of a dream. ...of course, her Mk-II was already behind the curve when she got it in many ways. ]

Ha, right? 's not wrong but it's a downer.
