TDM 005: HAPPY SPOOKTEMBER

Arrival

This time, you come out of the water, the Nameless Island's own inherent energy drawing people in. It's like being suspended between realities and abruptly pushed from behind through a rift in dimensions. It may make you sick, or that might be the motion of the ocean, lifting you to the surface 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. Feel free to explore the Island, though there isn’t much to see. Most of the buildings are abandoned and in dire need of repair, and beyond the city lingers a thick fog that obscures much of the wilderness from view. Wander too far into this fog, and you will find yourself mysteriously looping back to where you began, your memories of what you were doing and how you got there erased.

With that in mind, it may be wise to stake your claim on a rundown apartment, a tent on the beach, or a bed in the "comfortable" new barracks. Your inventory will be found a day later, wrapped up haphazardly and delivered to each person's makeshift home.

I. Harvest Hunt

As the daylight grows shorter and the muggy heat of the island’s summer gradually shifts to temperate days and chilly nights, Erku’s accessible wilderness explodes with a colorful collection of tempting fruits, fragrant-smelling herbs, and nuts and seeds plumped and ready for harvest. With warnings to beware of monsters, the robots of Erku encourage Islanders to take advantage of the land’s bounty by distributing basic camping supplies to those who are interested in exploring, hunting, and harvesting. They strongly encourage making the journey with a friend! Any surplus foods that Islanders bring home with them can be exchanged for credits with cafeteria robots! Just be careful out there - some of these fruits have strange effects once consumed.

For extra protection out there in the wilds, the robots have fashioned crowns of flowers or foliage to wear on their adventures. The sweet and herbal smells from the crowns will discourage most Erku-native monsters from approaching, they assure - this is ancient knowledge from the planet’s long-gone civilization, so it can’t be wrong!

What the robots don’t know is that the crowns have a deeper, more ritualistic purpose: after a few hours, the scent of flowers or herbs begins to awaken primal instincts within the wearer. Those who are wearing the foliage crowns feel overwhelmed by an urge to hunt, while those who wear the flower crowns delight in every opportunity to tease, outrun, and outwit the hunters. What happens when the chase ends? Well, that depends on the personalities and the chemistry between the hunters and their prey.

While the robots are very insistent on placing crowns atop the heads of any Islander they see, they aren’t stuck on in any way and they are easy to remove, which can prevent or break the hunting trance.

II. seeds and sap

Of particularly high credit value, the robots explain, is an elusive flower known as the skull sunflower. It appears exactly as one might imagine: at the center of an otherwise innocuous, towering sunflower is the gruesome visage of an open-mouthed skull. Don’t worry, the flowers are harmless! Even if it’s strange how the empty-socketed eyes seem to follow your every move. And why is it that the teeth - which, on closer inspection, are actually the seeds of the flower - only seem to chatter when your back is turned?

Any Islander who can withstand their heebie-jeebies long enough to collect the petals and seeds from the flowers will fetch a handsome reward in credits upon exchange with the robots. Beware the sticky, blood-red sap that seeps from the eyes of each skull, however. Those who absorb too much through their skin will begin to hallucinate, visions of frightening or emotional events from their past dancing in the shadows. One might even mistakenly imagine that another Islander is someone they recognize from their past, someone who meant something to them - no matter whether that person is alive or dead in the present.

The hallucinogenic effects of the sap can last for hours, or they can be shortened by a dip in the public baths.

III. Tarot

Night comes, and in the darkness, a robot sets up a table by the beach. A solitary candle sits in the center, illuminating a deck of cards. F̶i̴n̵d̸ ̸y̶o̸u̸r̵ ̵f̵o̸r̷t̵u̶n̶e̷?̴

The robot reveals tarot cards and will do a variety of spreads to tell your fortune. Each fortune can be distilled into one central theme, which characters will find pervades their life for the next 24 hours. There is magic afoot: it can be sensed, and perhaps even dispelled, if luck is on your side.

Though most robots on the island show a capacity for greater-than-average artificial intelligence, this pseudo-psychic 'bot -- M.S. Cl30 -- is less advanced. It only has six interpretations prepared:

Always watch your back. - Characters will be compelled to walk, or even speak, backwards for the duration of the day. Those who mishear it as "wash your back" may spend longer in the shower than usual.
Fake it til you make it. - Characters will feel compelled to act performatively. They will more readily fall into acts for serious or flirtatious roleplay, or try on costumes that reflect a particular persona they're interested in exploring. Faked orgasms will seem quite realistic.
You will receive an affectionate letter from a friend. - Just as it is said, someone will be compelled to engage in correspondence - and whether it turns dirty or not, well, that's up to you! Characters may also quite literally receive an article of clothing with a red letter sewn on the top. What could it stand for?
Hold on tight. - Characters who are given this life advice will start to feel rather clingy. They'll attach themselves to someone's side and refuse to leave, or they may find a "security blanket" item and won't let it go.
You are a generous, giving person. - Characters will feel compelled to do something kind for someone else. Maybe they'll invite someone to the movies, come over and cook, or do that thing their partner is always asking for.
Don't think. Feel. - Even if they weren't before, characters temporarily experience impulsive and hot-headed urges. They will also become very tactile.

N A V I G A T I O N

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Jim pulls back, sitting on his heels, then grinning wide while he watches August settle down on the ground.

He's quick to adjust, still kneeling now, but this time more or less getting himself on all fours as he crawls closer, ass arched up a bit in the air as he gets his head between August's legs again, lips finding the side of his cock again and licking down to the base slowly. ]

Damn... I hit the jackpot when I met you. [He groans, fingers brushing through Jim's hair lazily] Your mouth feels so good. Yeah, just like that... Mmmm...

[He arches up a little to get more of his cock in that mouth]

[ Jim hums softly as his lips find the tip of August's cock again, pleased to hear him talk like that. He always likes partners who are more vocal, and obviously August doesn't hold back in that regard.

That little roll of his hips only makes it better, and he outright moans as he lets August push his cock into his mouth, tipping his head and then bobbing it down slowly, taking more of him, hollowing his cheeks as he pulls back again. ]

[If he likes a vocal person, he's going to love August. Aside from all the groans, moans, and sighs, August isn't shy about praise and encouragement. So he starts in on it, telling Jim how good his mouth feels, how much August likes it, and so on.

He gasps and starts to get a sense of rhythm going between them. He starts slow, rocking back and forth, gauging how much Jim is willing to take in at once]

[ The slowly building pace is easier to get accustomed to. Jim's the first to bob his head lower, take a little more of August's length in his mouth, so that when August starts rocking his hips up to meet him halfway, he's already prepared for it.

Humming around the girth, he closes his eyes and tips his head slightly, shifts the angle so that August can push to the back of his throat with his next thrust. His breaths are measured to match the pace at which August starts fucking his mouth, making sure so suck tightly around him each time, swallowing around the crown whenever pushes to the back of his throat. ]

[He breathed in and out as steadily as he can given what Jim is doing to him. August starts to rock just a little bit faster and push in a little deeper. Testing just how much Jim can take]

Oh, shit. You gonna take me all the way in? Let me see if you can.

[He rocks forward to slide his cock in as far down Jim's throat as he'll take. August hits the back of Jim's throat and cries out, shuddering]

[ Jim takes those words as all the warning he needs for what happens next, and he relaxes his throat the best he can, then lets August set the pace, feeling those hips arch off the ground.

It's not long before he feels the thick girth push past the tight start of his throat, and he shuts his eyes tightly, managing a choked noise as August thrusts in deep. One of his hand curls into a fist, braced against the ground, the other moving to catch August's wrist, encouraging him to get a better grip on his hair. ]

[He hesitates for a moment when he hears that choking sound. Was this too much? August pulls back just a little, gripping onto Jim's hair. After a moment he's sliding himself back in]

H-hey. If this gets too much, just tap me on the leg or something, all right? I want you to like it too.

[ His gaze flickers up briefly to meet August's, blinking his eyes slowly. His hand squeezes over August's thigh, nudging and encouraging him to keep going, as if telling him he's fine, he can handle it.

Despite that initial surprise, he's doing well, really. No reason so far to tell him to stop. ]

Mmm, you must like my cock a lot to want to take it all in. Yeah? You like this? Like how big I am, how I'm fucking you all the way down your throat?

[He has no idea whether Jim likes dirty talk or not. He's just babbling and hoping for the best. And as he talks he rocks against Jim's mouth, fingers gripping tight in his hair]

[ Jim just lets out a muffled moan at that, trembling from head to toe, heat pooling in his groin at the way August talks to him, how he handles him. He doesn't struggle in the slightest, letting him grip at his hair, keeping his head in place while he feels that thick cock push deep into his mouth and down his throat, filthy little noises filling the air around them each time August plunges in deep, muscles clenching tight around the girth as he focuses the best he can in swallowing around him.

Eager, he tries to bob his head lower just once or twice, one of his hands slipping between August's legs to gently massage his balls. ]

[Those noises are really doing it for him. Of course Jim working his cock and him fucking deep down that throat is doing it for him, too, but the noises help a lot. August picks up the pace yet again, rocking himself in harder and faster and trying to get in deeper.

He groans at the touch to his balls]

Mmmmn. Hey. I might come in your mouth. That okay? Just squeeze my thigh if you want it.

[ Jim doesn't squeeze so much as claw at August's thigh, eagerly encouraging him at those words, a soft moan around his cock. He trembles in anticipation, and manages to suck even tighter around him, swallowing down the length with a few bobs of his head that go just a little deeper, take just a bit more into his mouth. ]

Oh, gods, yeah. Just like that. Swallow it all.

[He starts thrusting even more, Jim's eager clawing spurring him on. Between all the swallowing, sucking, and bobbing, it won't take much longer. August comes with a cry, jerking one more time to get himself in as far as he can. His cum spills down Jim's throat and it's only an afterthought for August to back off so Jim doesn't choke on it]

[ Good thing August eventually remembers that. The moment he has the room for it, he's pulling back a little more, trying to take as much of August's load into his mouth until he can't take anymore.

Swallowing, he coughs a bit, not really choking on it but still a bit overwhelmed. Panting for breath, he licks his lips clean, leaning back down and lapping up at some bits of cum dripping from the tip of August's cock. ]

[He pets Jim's hair shakily] Gods... That was amazing. You probably need a little help yourself now, right?

[ Jim crawls up August's body, rolling onto his back with a groan. He's popping his trousers open immediately, letting out a relieved sigh as the tightness of his clothes eases on his erection. ]

Well, I'm not gonna say no if you wanna give me a hand, here.

[His eyes flick to Jim's groin. August grins and reaches to help pull Jim's erection out into the open. He does a bit of wiggling so now his lips are the ones hovering just above the head of Jim's cock. His breath teases hot against the tip]

I could give you more than a hand.

[ Jim shudders at the first touch, head rolling back when he feels August shifting lower, hot breath ghosting the swollen head of his cock teasingly. His fingers brush through August's hair, encouraging. ]

Shit... yeah, you won't hear me complaining.

[Well, he certainly hoped that Jim wouldn't complain. August dragged his tongue slowly across that swollen head, slipping it briefly into his mouth and then out again. His tongue and lips did a slow survey of the whole length to get a feel for its size. He goes all the way down to the balls and mouths one while his hand plays with the other, then switches.

Finally, after doing all that, he goes back to Jim's tip. August kisses it and slips Jim back into his mouth. This time he takes more in, inching Jim in a little at a time]

[ Jim shifts slightly, making himself a little more comfortable while watching August work down the length of him. His breath hitches slightly as lips wrap around his balls, legs spreading a bit wider to give August more room.

Letting out encouraging noises, his hand pushes into August's hair, playing with the strands, fingers curling into a light fist. He's not pushing August down, nor is he moving his hips up right now, just encouraging him to keep going while watching intently as August swallows down the length of him, a little more with each bob of his head. ]

[He submitted to the push, moaning as that got Jim's cock even deeper into his mouth. August had a pretty good gag reflex so could take in a lot before it bothered him. Though when Jim started to move, August did swallow reflexively around the length.

August pulled back just a little to get in some air before moving forward again. This time he let Jim sheathe in quickly, sucking and swallowing with eager abandon]

[ As spontaneous as all this was, Jim's not looking to rush things too much, but August is steadily driving him crazy with each bob of his head. He lets out a groan when August goes even lower, swallowing him nearly to the base, his fingers on his hair digging harder when he feels the tightness of that throat around the sensitive head of his cock. ]

Hah, shit... August...

[Sorry, can't answer, too busy sucking Jim's cock. He does let out a low groan, though. He backs off again and sucks on Jim's head, swirling his tongue around it while his hand palms Jim's balls. August bobs his head again to take in more and goes slow this time so Jim can really feel it when his cock slides down August's throat]

[ He wasn't exactly asking a question or expecting an answer anyway, he just needed to let something out, with how good August is makes him feel it's impossible to keep it all in. It's enough of an answer when August just sucks him harder, sharper groans leaving him when he teases the head with his tongue, then proceeds to swallow him whole once more.

Another curse, his hips buck slightly, fisting August's hair tightly. He's close to an orgasm and August can likely tell, when that first taste of precome spills onto his tongue. ]
