| 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.

Technically he's seen many people with at least a blueish cast about them, but that tends to happen to most folks who are recently deceased. Though he hasn't stumbled across anything like that so far in this world either.
"I can't say I've seen either of them."
His smile looks a little more apologetic now.
"Though a hood isn't too uncommon to spot. I might have seen people wearing one in passing."

"They're remarkably good at puttin' dicks in places you'd never expect to see them, so I thought maybe--" She gestures up at the stars. "I mean, like, am I crazy? They said it's a chicken or something buuuuut."
no subject
He'll turn his attention instead to the sky, even going so far as to press his hand against his chin in exaggerated concentration.
"Surely you're not suggesting they changed the stars to resemble one?"
His tone is lighthearted enough, even as he asks his next question.
"Then again, who knows?"
no subject
She follows his gaze upward. "If it's people around here, I dunno. I just got here." She holds up her wrist and jangles the bracelet. "Stars are auspicious or whatever, right?"
no subject
He sounds almost more alarmed than surprised by the comment, but he shakes his head slightly as he moves towards the telescope to get a better look at the apparent set of genitals floating in the sky.
"So they say. I've always thought they were nice enough to look at if nothing else, but I may change my mind if-- Ah..."
He cuts himself off, going quiet for a minute before standing back up with a vaguely impressed look on his face.
"It certainly doesn't look that much like a chicken to me."

Then again, he's now seen the constellation himself, so it's only a matter of time before he's a little bolder than he would expect himself to be on this particular front.
"They certainly have an interesting naming sense..."
no subject
"Puns! Only good for doing psychic damage. Lowest form of humor and pastries."
no subject
"Not a fan?"
He looks back up at the sky with a glint of amusement.
"I am impressed by how bold they made this one. It's definitely hard to miss."
no subject
She plops herself down on the sand to continue the conversation, leaning back on her hands and craning her neck to look up at the stars.
"I like puns when I'm the one giving 'em."
no subject
"Isn't that how most people feel about bad jokes?"

"It depends entirely on the pun."
