| 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.

Listen, I don't know enough people here to know that for sure. [ Duo laughs at his own joke, there, though it's .. well. Probably a bit telling of his trust level of people other than those he knows in a bit of a sad way.
Still, he's smiling as she winks at him, happy enough with her friendliness and not really blaming her for (what he thinks is) her friendliness or not knowing all of his little war quirks. The comment about what people can do with their mouths, though - ]
Well. I know what I can do so I imagine there's people that are real artists.
no subject
[ Elle squints for a moment. ...wait. Duo definitely doesn't recognize her, and says he doesn't know enough people here? Did his brain get reset? It kinda feels - not great.
But he's still Duo. ]
You can... guess how much practice people get here, ha.
no subject
Yeah... [ Duo trails off after a moment, nodding still but also.. well. He's not dense enough to not realize what's going on here on some level. Relena and Heero have explained that he's been here before (apparently) - and the squint and almost sudden mood drop would seem to indicate that she knows him.
Maybe?
He decides to just go out on the limb, here, to be sure. ]
Did I know you before, or something? The people I know from my world said I was here before but I don't remember it so.. awkward, I know.
no subject
[ So that's a thing. But he knows it's a thing from... probably Heero or someone else from where he's from. ]
Yep. So I guess I just get to meet you again, 's fine.
[ It's not fine, but she holds her hand out for shaking purposes. ]
Elle Vianno.
no subject
Elle. [ Duo repeats it with one of those warm smiles, battle roughened hand meeting hers for a firm handshake as he's been offered. This is going to be an odd uphill battle, he can sense, but Duo Maxwell has never strayed from a challenge once in his short life. ]
Duo Maxwell.
... Hope it isn't too weird to do this whole meeting thing again version two.
no subject
[ A short laugh. ]
It's weird, but I guess I'll just stick it out until it feels normal, cuz you were pretty cool last time.
[ Also, ate her out, that was fun. ]
Let's start off with the part where I'm from a space colony in a, like, parallel universe that's like yours but not the same, and I'm using one of those Gundams in the hangar.
no subject
[ Duo can't help the laugh at being called 'pretty cool', making some kind of half-assed attempt at brushing off the shoulder of his jacket for the show of it.
Let's be honest : he isn't nearly that showy outside of a gundam.
His brows raise at the mention of her using a Gundam in the hangar, though, clearly interested in that bit. ]
Oh yeah? I gotta go see Deathscythe there once I.. you know. Get acquainted with the place.
[ or when it's quiet and there won't be a massive amount of people there to witness him have a break down about his mobile suit. ]
no subject
It's good to know how things are arranged. Just in case. There's, uh, a simulator thing in there too, only it works better the less clothes you wear.
no subject
.. Of course that'd be how it is. I don't even know why I was surprised a bit.
What's your gundam called?
no subject
[ But that's life now. ]
It's just uh... called... the Gundam Mark-Two? There are few of 'em with names back home but nothing like Deathscythe or whatever.
no subject
Yeah.. Guess it isn't so bad, though. [ Compared to hiding in safe houses and going from one mission to another? At least passably so. It's a bit complicated, of course, but he isn't going to put all that on her.
His nose does scrunch, slightly, in disappointment, as she says it's just a Gundam Mark-Two. ]
That's it? Gundam Mark-Two?
It's a Gundam and that's all they could come up with? Geez.
no subject
[ That's the name. It's already like, what the fuck does 'Gundam' even mean, right? ]
Technically there were a few like... midpoint developments since then, but I guess the Mark-Two was meant to be a huge step with all sorts of new technology. So, it's the next Gundam.
