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!

Not usually.

[Jingyi admits with a hesitant chuckle as he stares at his own dong-shaped candy. Just what is he supposed to do with this again? Eat it? Goodness no! How could he possibly eat something as lewd a this? Jingyi might be a bit shameless sometimes but he's not without a sense of propriety in the very least. However, he does enjoy sweets and this piece of candy is looking a bit appetizing.]

Have you given it a try yet? [He questions with a curious gleam within his turquoise gaze.] I mean, maybe if we could cut in half or something---

[Just the sheer thought of cutting this dong in half is mildly scandalous but at the same time, free candy is free candy.]

Maybe we should give it a try.

[You only live once, Bofu.]

[ It's just candy, Sun Ce reminds himself. He'd have just as much of an issue eating something shaped like, well, a pair of breasts, buttocks, or a vulva as well, but in the end, it's just an edible food.

He looks at the phallic confection, trying to ignore the fact that it looks like a penis. They even added ridges that make it look somewhat vascular, or maybe that's just the sugary coating's natural texture. Either way, it probably will fall off the stick at some point if they don't get rid of it soon.

Of course, there's something very unique about the man standing in front of him. For one thing, there's that intense gaze of his. And Sun Ce, flustered as he is by this awkward situation, doesn't quite think to take a good look at Jingyi's ears. ]


...Well, cutting it in half isn't a bad idea. And I bet it'd be pretty therapeutic, too.

[ He looks around the stalls nearby, wondering if any of the robots put knives or anything of the sort out for this specific purpose. ]

Do you have something to cut it with? I can't tell if I'm getting hungry or just angry.

[To be honest, Jingyi is moderately impressed that the crafters behind this delectable morsel went through the trouble of making these candied cocks look so real. It's a testament to the confectioner's skill but at the same time a reminder of the perverse nature of this realm. While Jingyi has come to accept this island for what it is, he cannot help but feel like a fish out of water sometimes. This is why he gives his new companion a sympathetic glance. He knows how it feels to be suddenly stuck here upon this nameless island with nowhere out surrounded by depravity.]

I forgive me for not owning a dagger but perhaps we could just break it apart.

[He suggests while attempting to do just that. While something as breaking a piece of candy shouldn't look so scandalous, it does when the candy is shaped like an overgrown cock. Jingyi grips the base of it tightly with his right hand before attempting to twist off the tip of it with his left.

Welcome to the world's most bizarre handjob, Sun Ce. This doesn't look right on any level but Jingyi is determined.

This is a little harder than it looks!
