| 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.

2/2
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Although Yaguchi says nothing as he looks down at the candy, his eyes are practically on fire at wanting to beat this robot down and agonizing over the thought of having to eat this thing. He hates sweets. ]
. . .
no subject
He said he wouldn't stop him, right? Totally not misreading this, nope. Abruptly, he leans over to press his lips to Yaguchi's. That's not what the candy technically said, but close enough. ]
1/2 I gotta stop forgetting to do this
[ Yaguchi's too distracted by the disgusting confection in his hands that he barely registers the disgusting senpai approaching him. He's too late to push Tamura away and their lips make contact. Heat rushes to his cheeks, for as much as he's created a popular image for himself, he hasn't been physical with anyone. So for a moment, if Tamura's eyes are open, he'll see this incredibly wide eyed kouhai who's too shock to do much more but tremble. ]
2/2
[ As if this is some shoujo manga. In mere seconds, Yaguchi has three decisions presented to him:
1. Punch.
2. Stomp his foot.
3. Bash him with the candy.
4.
Keep kissing.THERE IS NO FOUR.Since Yaguchi's able to pull away, he keeps his gaze down as if Tamura may have seen something he shouldn't have. There, his foot is visible so Yaguchi quickly raises his leg stomps on it hard enough to hurt but not hard enough to break. His face is red with rage, or so he'd rather claim. ]
W-w-what the hell was that?!
no subject
He'd argue it was worth the pain later, but he still yelps in the moment and breaks their kiss to hunch over slightly. His face is equally as red as he angrily shoves his candy into the shorter man's face to answer his question ]
Hey! You're the one who said you wouldn't stop me, ugly bitch!
no subject
What are you - ?!
[ He looks at the candy, still huffing and easily redder than his own hair. ]
I said I wouldn't stop you from playing the game but I won't! [ Turns out the BOTH of them ought to be more specific next time. NO THERE WILL BE NO NEXT TIME. (Yes, there will.) Back to his stupid candy, he tries to put it back but the robot hands it to him. The growl he lets out is almost demonic as he literally punts the candy into the distance, maybe landing on a roof somewhere.
To which the robot just procures him another one.
Kiss with tongue.
He steels himself from looking even more horrified and promptly chucks it at the robot as it walks back to its post. To which, its coworker (???) robot suddenly appears in front of them and issues him yet another one. (It also takes Tamura's back, who definitely cleared the game but mostly because at the rate Yaguchi is going, they might actually be short on the supply.)
Make out
with the one in front
of you.
Part of his soul just died maybe he should just take what's left of himself to the ocean. As he ponders this, he just remains mostly still, as he's still shaking from a nice combination of embarrassment, rage, and just overall annoyance at these stupidly persistent walking tin cans. ]
no subject
.... Maybe "Let him stick it in you." will be the next one? Or "fuck"?
[ He's laughing excitedly when he gets a new one and holds it over Yaguchi's head for him to read. Tamura sticks his tongue out.
Lick his cheek ]
no subject
[ Tamura is extremely lucky that his words, however gross, aren't wrong either, otherwise it'll be his other foot that will get the stomping.
Whatever these robots dish out seem to gradually get worse. ]
...I...I can't eat this. [ He doesn't take his eyes off the stupid thing because part of him already knows Tamura's tongue is sticking out and he doesn't want to see that.
I mean, he won't see if once they actually get start.He's vulnerable looking enough as it is. ]...I don't like sweets... [ Contrary to his reputation back home, hence why he feels like he's caught by yet another lie.
He's already half expecting to not only be presented with something worse or the robots following him everywhere to make sure he does one or the other. ]
no subject
He reaches out for Yaguchi's wrist with the intention of pulling him closer by it roughly. If it makes it that far, he'll lick the candy in Yaguchi's hand while staring at him still. ]
Easy. Let's just make out then.
no subject
[ The vulnerable look disappears as he furrows his brows again. He doesn't react violently since he's not taken by surprise this time, but he's still less than pleased by this turn out. Why did he approach this stall...?
Yaguchi doesn't know what the deal is with Tamura but all of the awkward and annoying encounters they've had really hasn't left a good impression. He regards Tamura as...well, he barely regards him at all but he's aware of what his senpai is known for just like the rest of the school is with that "Photography" Club. A chill runs up his spine at the thought of making out with a guy he barely knows outside of such a reputation.
And now that Tamura's licked the candy, there's no way he can stomach this stupid sugar infested rock especially with his goal of getting his body to reach its peak condition and stay that way. He might actually be better off putting up with...this.
Yaguchi lets out a growl that sounds more like a grumbly whine as he caves in. It would take Fuck Island logic to tip him in this direction and he's never hated robots more until today. When he finally answers, his voice goes lower in a way that few but Tamura himself has heard at least once before: ]
Shower first. You still smell like five different people and it's disgusting. [ Okay, technically Tamura doesn't at the moment, but he absolutely has before and who knows what quota this guy had hit since coming here. ]
...and there's no way in hell I'm doing it out here.
1/2
[ Shit. Tamura can't get the rest of his sentence out when Yaguchi's voice drops low like that. His brain stops functioning for a moment, expression going slack as he watches the other man's lips move. He might've been the one to suggest it, but part of him hadn't expected him to accept. Not doing it here means they can do it somewhere else, right?! He can't breathe.
Did he die?
Is this heaven? ]
2/2
There's a barracks! C'mon ugly, I'm sure they got showers.
no subject
What's with that face?
[ Tamura's eagerness isn't helping, but somebody has to make up for the lack of enthusiasm on Yaguchi's part. As they make their way, he continues to keep an eye out for any opportunity to get himself out of this. He feels uneasy, like they're being watched on every corner. Don't tell him that these acts are actually monitored! ]
Is someone following us?
no subject
[ Tamura answers a little too quickly, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking away. And yes, the robots are indeed stalking them.
He finally turns back to him with a grin. ]
Why? You scared?
no subject
He almost shows his teeth at that question but just elbows him as he continues walking. ]
Like you're one to talk about when it comes to being scared. Unlike you, I'm not into having onlookers. [
Nevermind that Yaguchi barely has much time to fully understand what he's into.They eventually arrive at the barracks, where there are multiple showers. He glances at the candy and looks up for a robot holding its hands out to hold onto because, there's no way Yaguchi can shower with the candy after all. Sound logic, very sound, and while he does set the candy down, he does deliver an uppercut to the robot who is being a total trooper about this. Maybe the candy booth robot communicated with him about this little devil already.
He steps in to examine the showers to keep himself from seething in embarrassment. Nothing out of the ordinary at least. He might as well shower too, but with the way his arms are crossed, he's obviously waiting for Tamura to pick first. ]
no subject
[ Tamura's scowls at him, though he's flushing. Like he has a problem having this disgusting little man all to himself. ]
Shy and a scaredy cat, huh?
[ When they approach the barracks, his spirits brighten considerably. His clothes are already gone and thrown across a couple benches before he makes it to the actual showers. But then there's a robot poking him and he rounds on it like he's going to beat it up until it points at the candy in his hand that he'd almost forgotten about. With that, he strides over to where Yaguchi is standing with his arms crossed.
He'll lean over and attempt to lick a sneak attack up from Yaguchi's neck to his cheek in one fluid motion as he walks by. Successful or not, he'll toss his candy to the robot and pick a shower that is in clear sight of Yaguchi. Oh, and he'll definitely face him. ]
no subject
Asshole! [ What was that one American horror movie with the woman getting stabbed in the showers? THAT ONE. LET'S REENACT THAT SCENE YOU SON OF A -
The sigh he lets out sounds more like a snarl as he starts stripping down and setting his clothes where he can easily retrieve them. As he undoes the tie on his hair, he thinks about their current situation, where he'd very much rather be stuck here with virtually anyone else than this senpai who seems to enjoy bullying him to no end. At least he can trust Toono. Or even Yu. Actually no, if Yu was here he'd just be the popular pick and he does not want to hear over the network what a good lay his cousinsithndujskhfsujgbs
...
So it could be worse.
He shakes his head, turning back to pick a shower stall at the very very very far end and away from Tamura's. He starts by letting the water hit his neck first. ]
no subject
His stall going silent will be the only warning before he's sneaking into Yaguchi's as quietly as possible, with the intention of sliding up behind up. Don't worry, when he yells the next part, he'll be ready to catch him --or get punched in the face. ]
I'm clean!
no subject
[ Yaguchi's trying not to think about Tamura watching him because it's already enough knowing that he's being watched by the robots or something (he thinks). Feeling the water hit his head as he runs the shampoo through his hair is probably the best feeling he had since coming here. The serene moment is brief though, as the shower is louder than Tamura's footsteps for him to hear. When he hears him announce himself Yaguchi barely turned around completely
to punch him in the facebefore he slips into Tamura's arms.Showering and bathing with others isn't new to him but this is not the same thing as an after school activity. (Well, his after school activity.) Needless to say, even with the locks of hair in his face it's evident that Yaguchi's blushing isn't because of the hot water. ]
Congrats, but I'm not done yet! Get the hell out!!
no subject
[ Tamura snarks but doesn't leave, Yaguchi's expression causing his own mirroring flush to creep over his face. A grin spreads across his face when the idea of helping him finish cleaning up hits him, which he aims right down at the man in his arms. He moves a hand to push Yaguchi's hair out of his face and rinse out any shampoo if there's any left, fingers grazing against his scalp in an unexpectedly gentle way if Yaguchi lets him. ]
Shut up, it'll go faster if I help.
[ No it won't, but Tamura isn't going anywhere either. ]
no subject
It's when Tamura gives that reason that he blinks and calms himself. He doesn't think Tamura is wrong there. He just wants to get this over with and maybe have another peaceful shower by himself. This isn't so bad, as long as he keeps his eyes away from looking at Tamura directly, he'll manage. He doesn't say anything as he turns his head slightly to face the wall, blushing even harder when his eyes give a passing glance at that navel piercing. ]
