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.
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 |
drinks, conoscere
[Immediate, blunt, and firm. She did not mean to give that to this stranger, and she has no real interest in pretending she did. 'Awkward' is not a word in Hikage's lexicon.
... But not giving her some might be a pain, if she starts whining. Hikage's a tall, lanky girl, visible tattoos on her neck and shoulders, in a way that makes it clear she has more under her clothes. So seeing her sigh, very slightly, is at least interesting.
Her eyes, cold and snake-like, narrow on Sasha for a second, and then she reaches for her drink. Finds another cup. Casually pours half of it in.]
Here.
[There you go. Surely nothing bad can happen.]
... Don't touch my hand, by the way. I'll stab it.
1/2
This girl with the strangely-marked body seems generous after all, though, so the attempt is a success. This is probably a bad thing because it means she's found another target to hassle for food in the future. She clasps her hands together, delight in her features at the halved drink (even if she would have preferred the full one). ]
Aah! Thank you. I've never seen a juice this colourful.

Eek ...?! [ She takes the drink, but draws her hand away from Hikage's. ] Noted. Please don't.
[ no stab her :( ]

[Hikage doesn't eat much, honestly. She has a few favorite foods, but she doesn't tend to overindulge. To her, food's mostly just sustenance. So yes, she is probably a good mark.
She watches the girl flinch, blankly, and then sips on what's left of her drink.]
Hikage.
[... Oh, wait.]
... You're welcome?

Then starts guzzling it down like a thirsty woman in a desert. ]
G'ahh!! It's so sweet! This taste --! And what are these -- chewy balls?! They taste so good, and pop in your mouth. I've never tried anything like this!
[ It's really not cute. She's got drink dripping down her lips, and some of the boba go falling to the ground. Don't worry, she'll eat them later. ]
