TDM 004: WASHED ASHORE

TDM 004: WASHED ASHORE


Arrival



This time, you come out of the water. While the Augur reboots, the Nameless Island's own inherent energy draws people in. It's like being suspended between realities and walking through a rift in dimensions. It may make you sick, or that might be the motion of the ocean, lifting you and carrying you to shore.

Waterlogged and covered in sand, new arrivals will be greeted by robots who welcome them with towels and bracelet devices. The A5 card is already loaded up. Inventory will be found a day later, wrapped up haphazardly and delivered to each person's makeshift home.



I. Feel the friendship!



Recent arrivals and visitors to the beach may notice a sudden influx of hundreds of bright red crustaceans crawling (and coupling) across the sand. It's crab mating season, as it turns out, it's a regular invasion! To keep the beach a pleasant place to gather for the island's inhabitants, the robots are offering credits to especially enterprising crab-catchers. Grab a bucket and get to work! Be sure to watch out for their pinch, mind you. Their little claws are tiny, but that doesn’t mean they don’t hurt.

Surprisingly, there is another effect that even the robots don't anticipate: islanders who are pinched by the crabs find themselves feeling instantly buddy-buddy with the next person they spot. Did you just become best friends?! Get pinched one too many times, however, and those feelings may sour into a crabby mood, indeed.

If you are feeling particularly vengeful (or just hungry), the little crabs do make for delicious gumbo. Once cooked, they have no side effects whatsoever.



II. Phallus Phestival



Although the Augur is offline and supplies are scarce, the robots of Erku are still eager to make their run-down little island a welcoming place for the new arrivals. To that end, they have arranged a three day festival to boost morale and promote the generation of plenty of Eros energy to assist in the restoration of the damaged and decayed parts of the city. The robots claim that this celebration was once a cornerstone of the long-lost civilization of the island. By the dawn of the first day, every island resident will find at their doorstep (or tent flap, mobile suit, etc) the traditional costume of the ancient islanders to wear to the festival. It appears to be... a giant sheet? There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the sometimes garish colors and patterns of the fabric, but at least the robots have uploaded instructions on how to wear it to your bracelet device.

Attendees will find food (mostly crab-flavored), confections, and household necessities in rather suggestive shapes, as well as goods you might find handy to complete your A5 squares: sex toys, pervertibles, sexy maid outfits, and the like. While islanders are welcome to set up shop on the festival grounds and sell (or charge) whatever they like, all items from the robots are offered up for free to those who wear their traditional island garb!



III. Fireside Adventures



Each night of the festival is wrapped up in style with an enormous bonfire on the beach, where drinks, fruity cocktails, and lively music appropriate for dancing is all provided at no cost by the robots. Even if you’re not usually much of a dancer, the longer you stand by the fire and allow it to warm your limbs, the more you feel like moving! Not only that, but everyone is looking quite beautiful by the firelight, are they not?

If you’ve grown tired - or if dancing just isn’t your thing - you might prefer to sit back and swap stories on one of the many driftwood log benches the robots have prepared for seating. Or, maybe you’d prefer to rough it for the night in one of the beachside canvas tents. Better claim one quick, though, or be prepared to share… there’s only one sleeping bag!

[ By the time Marco speaks up to her, Kasumi's already gotten halfway through a drink of her own with eyes bright and cheeks lightly dusted pink. ]

I've been trying to figure that out, myself. It's really quite delicious, isn't it?

[ She has no idea that there's alcohol in this at all, but maybe that's for the best. It's making her a bit more friendly than she might have been normally. Hence her willingness to speak to a stranger she hadn't met before now. ]

[Ilia had only directly shown one person her card when planning to swap some squares with them, but since everyone has one, it's not as awkward as it could be. She holds her arm up so her card is visible.]

Most of these are weird, but you can figure it out on your own.

[ It's not a hard bump, admittedly, and Ann is immediately more concerned about the smaller girl, holding out a hand to steady her before she realizes who it is. ]

Yoshizawa-chan! [ It's true that she barely knows Kasumi at all, but Ann is nonetheless incredibly happy to see a familiar face. ] I'm not hurt at all. Are you okay?

[ It's dumb, but Ann feels the sudden need to cover her junior's eyes and, y'know, defend her innocence or something, but Kasumi seems pretty composed. ]

Ryuji's here too, and I saw Ren and Doctor Maruki, too. That makes five of us from Shujin. Isn't that weird?

[ Hell, she's still Suspicious of the bracelet even now, free or not, but everyone she's met seems to have one, and they aren't being harmed.

In response to his question, Ryuji gets a big ol' shrug. ]


I dunno. I haven't heard anything about the natives, if there even are any left. The only people I've seen since I got here are people like us who got pulled in from somewhere else.

No.

These toys are for adults having fun with other adults.

[He emphasizes this by gesticulating with one of them.]

You'll never get anywhere with that sloppy technique. Try to get some depth!

[ Allura kneels in the entrance of the tent, silhouetted by the bonfire behind her in such a way that makes her hair light up like a wreath of white gold to frame her figure. There are markings on her bare arms--pale pink stripes not unlike the ones on her cheeks, but longer, swooping down in an elegant arc from her shoulders to her wrists.

She isn't exactly sure how to react when Ferdinand sits up. His assurance that she isn't intruding is a relief, but he trails off when he looks at her, offering no further invitation to remain or suggestion to seek shelter elsewhere.

At his loss for words, Allura can only laugh sheepishly. ]


It's quite all right! I'm sure there's another unoccupied tent somewhere along the beach. Please, return to your rest. I'll... ah, be on my way?

"I do wanna dance. It's just hard to actually bring it up to people, when they're all moving." Emi reached a hand out to Eleanor, smiling at her. "So... let's take our time."

[August grins at this guy. He slowly removes the dick-shaped food out of his mouth, licking it from base to tip. Still grinning, he closes his lips around it and starts rolling his tongue around, sliding it in deeper and deeper.

The playful look in his eyes assures Hawke that August is enjoying this]

"Well, that's certainly aggressive."

An amused voice from behind her announced a woman in a large white cloak. Summer chuckled as she watched the girl tear the treat to little pieces in order to eat it, presumably to avoid the obvious implications.

And instead delivering entirely different ones. "They don't do subtle very well around here, I've found." Summer kept her voice mild, conversational.
waswrongtoo: (That's just adorable)

[personal profile] waswrongtoo 2020-08-22 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well now I'm curious.

[Summer raises an eyebrow, in fact, wondering precisely what she's getting at as far as other ways to use it go.]

You can't just say that and leave the rest of us in the dark. What sort of ideas did you have in mind?

[Okay, she absolutely can leave her in the dark, it's just that Summer will get extra annoying if she does.]

[The woman Korra calls out to raises her head, white hood falling back. Summer smiles brightly, and laughs as she allows the younger woman to sweep her into a dance.]

It seems I can't resist. [She's only teasing, of course, and the bright smile on her face makes it clear as she easily steps into the beat, allowing Korra to lead.]

Are you always this direct, or should I feel special?

Ah, right. Elle Vianno. I'm from Shangri-La at Side 1.

Very nice.

Let's see some movement.

[Marco is really grateful that Duo slows his explanation way down and gives him time to absorb it. The technology here is clearly going to take some time to figure out, but he's hoping he can get the hang of it. He'll definitely be leaving Duo messages when he gets lost!]

[Theeeeeen Duo mentions the A5 card, and Marco does the facial equivalent of a blue screen of death.
]

You what now?

[ She glares at him for a moment longer, her mouth twisting with displeasure, before she finally sighs and redirects her look of ire to some poor tree in the distance. ]

I was afraid you would say that.

[ As much grief as she gives Apollo, she trusts that he wouldn't lie to her. He and Phoenix have that honest air in common. So this is it, then. It seems she might really have to buy into this strange sex business. It's all just so unscientific...

Deciding that she doesn't want to talk about it anymore, she does an about-face and marches back toward the crabs. ]


Enough about that. Help me catch some of these things. I'm sure it'll be a cinch for you. Like attracts like, after all.

[Oran had heard 'credits' and instantly been at the waterside. They were useful, every now and again, if for no other reason than they kept the island's robots off his back.

He's by no means an expert, but that doesn't keep him from carrying a bucket around and occasionally using his long tail to jab his catches back in when they manage to skitter near to freedom. Crabby pinches aren't really affecting him, given the tip of his tail is as strange as his horns, the former being roughly the shape and texture of a pointed cleaver.]


When he sees a brand new face coming at him with an offering, he raises his brows.]

Shouldn't you keep that for yourself? They don't give credits away all that often without... you know.

[Fascinating... sugar out of grass? Marco is definitely going to have to find a library and read up on this world.]

Oh! I'm Marco.

[He offers her his hand to shake.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. Have you been here long?

[In case it's not glaringly obvious, Marco has just arrived.]
freckilled: (adorable surprise)

[personal profile] freckilled 2020-08-22 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is.

[Well, she's friendly and non-threatening, and the whole being-stranded-in-an-unfamiliar-place thing is making Marco lonely, so he scoots over a little closer to her so they can talk more easily.]

We don't have juices like this where I come from. Mostly just apples and pears and things.
fistsofchange: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2020-08-22 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She could figure out or at least guess at most of them easily enough. Some sounded slightly scary. Others sounded downright exciting! She noted that a few of them were already filled in.]

Well, it looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

[personal profile] bigporkenergy 2020-08-22 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Boob cookies are a good start, but it doesn't change the fact that this is far too many dicks.]

But why? They think we all want dicks or something?

[There should be more diversity here, is Porco's main complaint.]
fistsofchange: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2020-08-22 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugged.]

Dunno. Maybe next week they'll have another one that's vagina themed.

[He grins around his own treat, moving it in and out of his mouth in a slow motion. August is very casual and relaxed about it, though the look in his eyes gets mischievous when he sticks it as deep down his throat as he can handle]
vampirella: (0016)

[personal profile] vampirella 2020-08-22 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't hate it, but I still wouldn't call it great.

( it does seem to be the bland and shapeless kind of pop that Kesha used to frequent, so... maybe? she would be equally unsurprised to hear it was some computer generated blandness, considering the robot sex island they were trapped on. )

I've heard worse for dancing, though. Definitely. ( she lifts a dark brow at the cute blond toeing out of her heels to join her. probably for the best, heels on the beach have to be hell... but is it so wrong to be mildly annoyed by it?? probably. it's a nice gesture in theory, even if it ends up mildly condescending to the shrimp that resents being on the shorter side.

the campfire is too calming to let her be too actively annoyed by it, though. she does step closer, obligingly.
) Okay, cutie, you win. You got a name to go with your desire to dance?
defaulthawke: (+ humor me)

[personal profile] defaulthawke 2020-08-22 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Garrett is incredibly casual and relaxed about watching (though privately, he's thinking that if this is an illusion and he's still trapped in the goddamn spirit world, it's the most creativity he's ever seen from it). However, his mouth twists at the corners and his eyebrows rise at the display.]

If you get food stuck down your throat, don't expect me to save you.

[He absolutely will save him.]
