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!

[ But then he catches himself, as he stares down at the dildo wriggling sadly in the sand... and he has to shoots Keith a smirk. ]

What was that about being unreasonably uneasy around the male genital?
marmoron: marmoron (how has my life come to this)

[personal profile] marmoron 2020-09-05 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's just the faintest blossom of pink dusting his cheeks as he stares at the vibrating toy, though the nanosecond he spots Garma smirking Keith is quick to get defensive. ]

Look. I wasn't expecting to get a dildo shoved in my hamds, alright?! I don't see you bending over to pick it up.
instrumentalized: (smug; sideglance)

[personal profile] instrumentalized 2020-09-05 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Garma is generally a kind young man, but he does not necessarily appreciate feeling embarrassed or humiliated, so it does feel very good to get on a level with Keith that seems somewhat even. ]

It's not mine, why would I?
marmoron: marmoron (edginng away)

[personal profile] marmoron 2020-09-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Instantly: ]

When the hell did I agree to owning that?
instrumentalized: (smug; flattered)

[personal profile] instrumentalized 2020-09-05 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't, I know, but it was certainly given to you. Dropping it just like that...

[ He doesn't finish, he's just smiling. Sorry. ]
marmoron: marmoron (not pouting at all)

[personal profile] marmoron 2020-09-05 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Can he just... slap the smile off this guy's face...

Ignoring the way his face feels a little warm, Keith quickly scoops the still vibrating dildo off the sand and immediately tosses it to Garma.

Be a better dick handler then.
instrumentalized: (stressed; anger; huffy)

[ Hm. Well. He could step back again and that'd be just fine, that'd be what he wants to do, but unfortunately, it'd mean losing. And that is against the pride of the Zabi family!

So Garma catches the dildo and cringes at the sandiness and nasty vibrations. It takes a second, but at least he manages to turn the damn thing off. ]


... th-there. That isn't so hard. Now we just have to give it back to one of those robots.

marmoron: prescar (Look bub)

[personal profile] marmoron 2020-09-05 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh good, that incriminating buzzing noise is over. Scowling, if only to keep himself from looking relieved or anything else, he gestures with a hand towards the retreating robot. ]

So what's stopping you? It's right there.
instrumentalized: (stress; serious; giving his best)

[personal profile] instrumentalized 2020-09-07 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You really need to have everything done for you, is that it? Fine. I will see you around.

[ And off he is, with big steps, chasing down a robot to return a dildo that it does not want to have returned... ]
