TDM 009: I'M IN LIKE WITH YOU

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. STARGAZER On the first night that new arrivals wash ashore, the moon rises. It's full and beautiful and surrounded by stars. The robots quickly bring old, dusty telescopes out of storage and line them up on the beach to help people get a truly spectacular view. "Look to the heavens! Behold, the chicken, the cat, the owl, the donkey!" It's... the cock, the pussy, the hooters, and the ass. For the rest of the night, characters will become fixated on the specific asset associated with the constellation they've gotten an eyeful of. Whether this leads to some body worship or just casual appreciation is up to you. You can learn about the stars and constellations later this month in some of the rare, non-pornographic books in the library. (More info will go up soon, so please be patient!) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● II. STIMULATING CONVERSATION An ancient courting ritual has been announced! It involves the give-and-take of candy hearts with slogans printed on them. Of course, since these hearts are being manufactured by robots, their sense of taste is a little... off? Or perhaps off-putting? "You'll do." "5/10." "Acceptable." "Sloppy Seconds." Receiving a negative heart makes one feel insecure, jealous, and submissive. "Be mine." "Nicest ass." "Swell bulge." "They're good lays, Bront." Receiving a positive heart will make one feel confident, boastful, and dominant. Your friendly neighborhood 'bots will give them out to anyone who asks - and maybe even those who don't. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● III. Eat Or Dare The robots have set up a stall by the beach with a banner that reads: Eat Or Dare. They have procured bigger candy hearts than ever before -- fist-sized and larger -- with actions written on them instead of derogatory slogans. "Take a dive." "Lick me." "Get handsy." The name of the game is to follow the instructions or forfeit the challenge by making the evidence disappear into your mouth. Delicious! Those who eat the candy hearts will feel themselves getting giddy and unreasonably invested in the love affairs of others. They will feel compelled to play matchmaker to spread the cheer. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

[ A little suspicious, but what's a little floor candy? Izō snatches it out of his hand, gives it a cursory glance, and pops it into his mouth. It tastes just as bad as the first one, yet he eats it, anyway. ]

...'kay, now what?

[ Give it a minute. He grins and straightens up, putting a hand on Kurama's chest again. ]

I saw what that said...So whaddya say, huh? [ The submissive posture from before is gone. ] I'm waitin'.

[afoxbyanyothername]

[Kurama waits patiently as the candy is eaten and a few moments pass. Watches the change and has to sigh.

Seriously?

He might have to experiment more, but he's totally getting the idea here. And it's rather disturbing.

Which means he gently removes that hand from his chest and shakes his head no.]

I don't think so... I'm not going to swear to being right, but I do believe you are being influenced by something and I'm not the sort to take advantage.

[heretic_blade]

[ Normally, he'd understand that reasoning...but this isn't normal. It just makes the need to dominate flare in him. Izō bristles a bit at the rejection and snorts. ]

I'm offerin', ain't I? How's that takin' advantage? [ A huff as he crosses his arms over his chest. ] Your loss.

[afoxbyanyothername]

I'll accept that loss.

[Kurama laughs]

Now, unless you have other outrageous ideas, I would suggest you avoid others for a time. And that candy.

[heretic_blade]

Get bent, I'll do what I want.

[ Ah, yes, it's like nothing's changed at all...All these candies are really doing is amplifying the worst parts of his personality. ]

I'll jus' find someone else t'have some fun with.

[afoxbyanyothername]

[That earns another sigh. Now what? He could just leave him here, but...]

I'm going to regret this, but...

[Kurama offers Itou a hand and a bit of a smile.]

Come with me. I'm sure we could find some fun that you aren't going to regret later.

[heretic_blade]

[ Izō grins, but doesn't take his hand. No, he's too proud for that nonsense. He will follow along after him without a fuss, though. ]

I promise ya won't regret it... [ A beat. ] Hey! I wouldn't regret this anyway. Sounds like ya'd be th' one with regrets.

[afoxbyanyothername]

We'll see.

[Kurama realizes he hasn't given much thought to where he's going to take this "Assassin". He's only been concerned about making sure he's not taken advantage of if the candy indeed has something in it.

So it's a moment before he decides to head towards the tent he was using before, figuring it's as good a place as any.

Once there though, he's going to have to decide some other things. Like whether to try and tie this guy down, try to knock him out or play to the weird desire without actually letting it advance to a point of regret.]

[heretic_blade]

[ Careful, he might like a couple of those options a bit too much.

Something occurs to Izō on the walk, though. ]

I gave ya somethin' to call me, so what the hell should I call ya? Ya got a name, don't ya?

[ If there's the promise of intimacy, something to call him other than "hey you" is probably good to have. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

[He glances back a little as he states his name, deciding to figure his options out once at the tent.]

It's Shuuichi.

[heretic_blade]

Okay, so I'll have a name to th' dick. Nice t'meet ya.

[ Izō remains mostly quiet -- a small miracle -- the entire way back to the tent. He is blissfully unaware of the frustration that awaits him. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

[He doesn't grace the remark with a response, just keeps leading until they are at the tent, indicating for Izou to go in first.]

After you.

[heretic_blade]

[ And go ahead he does. There's nothing suspicious about this whatsoever, no sir. Izō immediately makes himself at home and drops down to his knees. ]

Well, c'mon, don't be shy now.

[afoxbyanyothername]

[Kurama is not sure how to respond to Izou just dropping to his knees like that. Had been sort of hoping he would sit somewhere, make it easier to handle. Yet he will work with what he has.

Instead of just moving to stand in front of the other man, Kurama smiles and moves to kneel in front of Izou. He's got a vague idea in mind.]

I have a better idea. Do you like games?

[heretic_blade]

[ Not...what he had in mind, but he's willing to play along. Izō cocks his head to the side. ]

Yeah, my luck's shit, but I like games.

[afoxbyanyothername]

Good.

[He smirks softly, moving to try and push Izou over by pushing on his chest. Since he really has no way to bind Izou that wouldn't be easily overcome, and barring a pressure hold on his neck to knock him out - still a posdobility - time to run the clocks a bit.]

Let's see if you can get me hard without touching my cock, shall we? Since you seem so determined you have good use of your mouth, you can only use that, except to move or remove clothes. What do you think?

[Personally, Kurama is confident he can keep from reaction for a long time. If not, he can always offer the be on the giving end or try the choke out.]

[heretic_blade]

[ He goes with the push, happy to oblige him for now. As much as the candy makes him want to be dominant, this kind of submission feels okay. Izō scratches his chin, then grins. ]

So just my mouth? ...Yeah, I can do that. Sounds like a fun challenge.

[ He doesn't seem to want to waste any time and pushes himself up on his hands to try to kiss Kurama. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

[Kurama allows the kiss, returning it this time and reaching to grab the back of Izou's neck if allowed. Let him get into this, then he can do.]

[heretic_blade]

[ He doesn't distrust Kurama, so he lets him do as he pleases. Probably...not the smartest decision he's ever made, but no one ever accused him of being smart. It's a struggle for Izō to not use his hands; all he wants to do it grab and grope him. He settles for trying to deepen the kiss, opening his mouth and pressing the tip of his tongue against Kurama's lips. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

[Kurama continues to allow things, nipping that tongue gently before pressing his own against it. Slowly he is moving his hand, sliding it around to the side, stroking and petting like a lover might.

His other hand raises, gripping Izou by the chin enough to tilt his head up into the kiss, before brushing slowly to rest it along the front of the neck. He lets his thumb play idly near the pressure point.]

[heretic_blade]

[ It's subtle, but he recognizes it. As good as it feels to be touched that way, something about it sets him on edge...Well, it wouldn't be the first time he'd been choked during sex. It's fine. Izō is far too focused on Kurama's mouth and tongue to pay it much mind. His kiss is rather rough, seeking pleasure mostly for himself. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

[So long as he doesn't catch on, it's fine. Kurama can deal with needy kisses, fighting that tongue back, preparing.

As soon as he believes the moment is right, both hands moved to pulse points, Kurama springs his attack; thumbs press down, exerting force meant to force a blackout.

Yet he strangely breaks the kiss.]</smallo

[heretic_blade]

[ Okay, not what he signed up for. Izō doesn't give in that easily, of course, and gives a shout. ]

What the fuck?! Are ya tryin' t'kill me?!

[ It's very, very good he doesn't have his sword on him right now. He settles instead for ... grabbing the remaining candies out of his sleeve. His free hand tries to grab a hold of Kurama's jaw to force his mouth open to shove the candies inside. It's a last gasp effort to try to fight back. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

Of course not.

[He seems like he could explain, but isn't going to, fingers still pressing down. Yet it seems to be a mistake. Izou doesn't need to force his jaw if Kurama is talking. Which means he gets a mouthful of not so great tasting candy.

Most of it he spits out as he jerks away from Izou, but a piece gets too far back and he's forced to swallow it, coughing as the candy scratches down his throat.]

Dammit...

[Still coughing gently, Kurama gives Izou a less than amused look.]

That candy... are you really that desperate to give head?

[That attitufe from earlier, the cold eyes, have returned but now mixed with terrible amusement.]

[heretic_blade]

[ He huffs as he rubs his throat. ]

Would ya rather I woulda fought back another way? [ Truth be told, he wasn't even thinking of the consequences of what he just did -- it was just desperation. ] I didn't know y'were gonna choke me...That's somethin' to talk 'bout beforehand, don't ya think?
