| TDM 007: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? |
00. 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. Entertainment District Old and new arrivals alike have likely been enjoying(?) the Island’s one day of sunshine per week - and so have the robots! The energy they are able to harness from the sun has increased their productivity exponentially, and a colorful multi-level entertainment district has sprung up to surround a few of the city’s familiar locations. Here you will find the forge, the clothing shop, the Full Moon(ty) Theater, as well as a freshly upgraded Ticket to Ride: an all-purpose arcade where tickets won from skeeball and Whack-a-Woody can be exchanged for sexy, colorful prizes! Admission is free, and the robots especially encourage islanders to check out the following arcade additions:  Lurid Laser Tag: Slip into a full-body laser tag suit and arm yourself with a robot-provided laser gun before you go into this spooky and maze-like laser tag arena, which has been designed in the fashion of an abandoned, post-apocalyptic city overrun with creeping, squirming, and sometimes grabbing plants (which may look and feel very familiar to the earliest residents of the Nameless Island). Avoid these obstacles and try to spot the enemy before they spot you! The laser guns issued by the ‘bots have three graduated settings, chosen by the shooter, to alert you when you are hit: 1. vibration, 2. sweet caress, and 3. deep massage. Any part of your laser tag suit may activate, depending on where you are hit. Islanders may choose to play 1-on-1 with a friend, or can be randomly assigned to an opponent or team. VR Rooms: Pull on a shiny new headset and enjoy an immersive virtual reality experience like none other available on the Island thus far! The technology is still somewhat limited, however, in that the rooms can only replicate settings and environments from the current users’ memories. Whether you’re looking to train your battle skills on your old stomping grounds or simply want to share the experience of your favorite hometown noodle shop with a friend, these new VR rooms will literally open up new worlds of entertainment to you. VR Rooms can be enjoyed alone or in pairs, and they are fully private. GundamPods: A scaled-down version of the newly installed mobile suit simulation cockpits which can be accessed in the hangar at the outskirts of the city, these side-by-side pods allow users to recreate the experience of piloting any mobile suit that has been brought onto the island, in PVP format. Scant and form-fitting clothing is recommended for the most seamlessly realistic piloting experience, as this allows the technology to interface with your sensory system. Wear a bikini and you’ll feel it right down to the G’s! II. Sexscape Room Looking for the latest opportunity to earn credits? Look no further! The robots are researching the problem-solving capabilities of organic lifeforms, and they are seeking the Islanders’ help. The offered reward is very generous, and the ‘bots say the time commitment is no more than two hours. No manual labor required! Participants will only be given a puzzle to solve within that time limit. Those who agree will be led to a spacious, if dark, room... but not alone. When the lights turn on, two volunteers find themselves trapped together in an escape room! Written clues lead participants through a series of steps to find the trick that will unlock the doors that hold them captive. However, what kind of room they find themselves in is entirely luck of the draw. Some rooms are perfectly normal, with almost absurdly easy puzzles to solve - a tip of a bookcase or a key hidden beneath a pillow might just be the ticket out. Others may be outrageously difficult, with clues taking the form of cryptic riddles and assigned tasks requiring partnership and teamwork to complete. What kind of tasks, you may ask? Well, for some rooms it’s fairly obvious what volunteers are expected to do in order to earn their escape. That riding crop says it all, does it not? Those who fail to solve the escape room within two hours will be released without incident, the promised credits loaded to their devices. Islanders who successfully escape the room will be additionally rewarded with a goody bag of cute and colorful BDSM gear! III. Speed Dating at the Limp Noodle So many renovations have occurred thanks to the efforts of those on the Island and the robots have decided a grand opening of the new Limp Noodle Shop! This robot-run shop has three small tables and a long counter for serving customers. It caters to various noodle foods and soups from any world and their menu changes regularly, but Wednesday is All You Can Eat Ramen Day. Try the Special Spicy Fishcakes to get a free drink, but they might make your noodle anything but limp and you'll need some help to calm it down. Effects can last up to three hours. But that’s not all. To promote the grand opening of the Limp Noodle the robots have added more seating and opened up the week for Swap Meet Speed Dating. That’s right, speed dating. Anyone who takes part in the 10 minute rounds of looking for your next Auspicious Act partner will receive all-you-can-eat snacks. Couples who hit it off will receive a free meal at a small two-seat table in a more secluded area. Questions are provided on note cards with a fine print reminder: “Eye contact supports sexual intrigue, please maintain at all times.” N A V I G A T I O N |
no subject
For now, however?
His response is enough to rekindle the vicious red hue to her cheeks as an embarrassed laugh left her, unable to meet Akira's gaze at all. Did he really have to word it like that? It just made it all sound so much more naughty than it really was. ]
N-Not just from MY experience. I've been here for months so i've seen other people do some insane feats with the credits they get for doing sexual things like that. New things get brought into the world with the more that stuff happens, too.
[ Maybe now he won't think of her any less. Her words still meant that she had done some things but didn't wanna divulge them any. Especially now as Kasumi could already start feeling a bit warmer than she had been before, and had a feeling she knew what it was from. ]
no subject
Ah, but he's only kidding. Teasing Kasumi is all well and good, but there's a limit to how far he can comfortably push, isn't there? He'll leave the bulk of the abuse for the boys, assuming they've made it onto the island as well. It'd be a bit strange if some of the Phantom Thieves arrived here while the others were nowhere to be found.]
I see. [So sex is what furnishes this island? No wonder the robots are so pushy.] ...is that uncomfortable for you?
[The "cost of living" on this island, as it were. Akira can only imagine the demands of this island to be easier on some people than others. He watches her through sidelong glances, watching for any obvious signs of arousal– color rushing to her cheeks, the heaving of her chest. They'll present themselves in time, and when they do, he'll handle her accordingly.]
Don't feel obligated to answer. I know it's a difficult topic.
no subject
At least until she'd taken his hand and felt the warmth of it, the lingering sensation left even as she rested her hands on her lap.
Some people had taken this whole 'sex island' thing in stride and for her? There was so much to say on the subject, but there was not necessarily bad memories so it would take a second to really figure out how to word what she wanted to say. Especially before her mind became clouded and rational thought kind of leapt out the proverbial window. ]
It's alright. I... can say that at first it was really difficult and kind of uncomfortable just thinking about it, but...
[ Then she'd met a choice few people but only really had experiences with one of them and now that person wasn't even here anymore. It was enough to have her smiling a bit to herself, casting a sidelong glance over at Akira after a moment. ]
It's not that bad now, but I admit I probably don't do as much as the robots probably want me to. [ It's after this that Kasumi can feel it starting to set in, a wave of warmth washing over her body as her breath hitched in her throat. ] Maybe it's just my want to trust other people before we do things like that. W-Who can say?
no subject
[Disobeying the robots, that is. Akira lets loose a muted laugh, sitting back on the heels of his palms. Ah, but Akira hears it, the breaths stopping up in her throat. He's still rather amazed by her boldness in taking that pill, though he supposes such things must be commonplace on this island. Oh well. When in Rome.]
That's ideal... wanting to trust the people you're opening yourself up to. They call it "intimacy" for a reason.
[Kasumi holds her composure well, given the circumstances. As a test of sorts, Akira reaches out and tucks a wayward strand of hair behind her ear, gloved fingers ghosting along the edge of it. Aphrodisiacs, huh? Even Takemi couldn't have concocted the holy grail of medicine middle-aged businessmen clamor for. It's still a bit difficult to imagine that such a thing actually exists.]
How are you feeling?
no subject
If this would have been her closer to her arrival here, Kasumi would have been a lot more reluctant to take the pill at all but now knew there wasn't much of a choice here. Especially if they wanted to get out of this room. ]
That is true. I'm glad you agree with me on that, senpai.
[ Even now in this moment as she felt her mind slowly being clouded, her body warming up to an almost feverish level, she couldn't help the small formalities. She was doing her best to hold herself together, though was sitting a bit too straightly as she subtly shifted in an attempt to try and ignore the way that arousal that was making everything feel rather sensitive.
Which meant as Akira's gloved hand tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, the soft, light touch ghosting along the edge of it was enough to have her shivering as a breath caught itself in her throat mid-inhale. ]
W-Warm. Very... sensitive, too. Definitely think it's kicking in.
[ What a lovely feeling it is. To want to jump him with how she's starting to really feel right now, someone she's already sort of had feelings for back home and was already wanting to help her with this if it meant getting out of this room as it was. ]
no subject
All of that subtle shifting hasn't eluded Akira's notice, but this is a delicate situation. Moreover, it's not one he's ever had the privilege of being in before, not that he'll let on to his total lack of hands on experience. Winging it has only occasionally whipped back around to bite him, and so wing it he shall. Like he'd willingly pass up an opportunity to make her shiver like that again.
It's time. Turning to her, Akira doesn't hesitate, doesn't let anything like nervousness spill into his inflection when his hand comes up to cup Kasumi's cheek.]
Ah. There's a loose eyelash in the corner of your eye. [There isn't.] I'll get it. Close them for a sec.
no subject
This feeling itself was not alien to her, but it was more the fact of who she was experiencing it around. Her heart was thumping so loudly in her chest it was a miracle Akira couldn't hear it, skin warm and nerves set on edge. It could have been that which made it much easier to roll with his words, his hand soft and sending electrical tingles across Kasumi's skin. ]
A-Alright.
[ Just as he asked, she does close her eyes even though the heat searing through her body is becoming stronger. A sign she trusted Akira no matter what happened, shifting her hands to rest on each side of her on the bed. ]
no subject
Sometime, perhaps, she'd be willing to indulge him in doing just that. For now, he does indeed frame that pretty face in his hands and brings her close, then closer, until her heated breaths coast across his lips. Canting his head to one side, he moves in to kiss her.
It's a chaste kiss, gentle and slow. Much as he'd like to, Akira doesn't linger all too long, drawing back just enough to see the color warming her cheeks.]
...oops. Looks like I didn't quite get it.
[What a shame. He'll just have to try again, won't he?]
no subject
In this moment where her eyes were closed, she didn't entirely know what to expect until he'd moved closer and she could feel his breath wash over her lips. Shivering softly, it was almost painful to wait until Akira's lips met hers in a warm, chaste kiss. Slow, gentle and kind. It had Kasumi practically melting into the kiss despite how short and sweet it ended up being. ]
Guess... you'll have to try again?
[ Her cheeks feel warm but she's got a smile curving the edges of her lips slightly, not opening her eyes yet since she knew what was coming. ]
no subject
Guess so. Wish me luck.
[Akira loops an arm around Kasumi's shoulders, offering her the strength of that arm to rely upon. At the same time, it suits his own needs, and he tugs her into that heated second kiss. This time, he isn't going anywhere. This time, should she find herself overwhelmed with all the affection he has to offer, it'll be up to Kasumi to put some distance between them... even if only temporarily.]
no subject
She pressed into it, returning it oh so sweetly with a breathless noise escaping her. It had such encompassing warmth to the kiss that she nearly felt dizzy, one hand reaching up somewhat blindly until she could grasp the front of his jacket.
A wordless admission that she wanted this, and should he not stop her? Kasumi was intending to pull Akira straight down onto the bed, a purely bold move driven by the heated arousal burning through her body like a wildfire. Right now it was the two of them and he was the only cure for it, rampant ideas running through her head that she couldn't presently put into words. ]
no subject
Without much thought, Akira reaches back to gingerly tug out the ribbon in her hair, combing his fingers through the silky strands. She's beautiful, so very beautiful, and Akira sets his lips to the column of her neck and kisses her there. Over and over again, he'll layer her bare skin with kisses like that might be enough to convey the weight of his feelings when words alone aren't enough.
Softly, he whispers into her ear–]
Give me your hands.
