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

[ Ferdinand isn't sure if his face should be going white or going red, but it chooses the latter. Normally, when he blushes, it only reaches the tops of his cheeks. But this particular blush makes almost his entire face light up.

He can guess that she has no memory of this place. Which means he needs to explain everything. ]

This entire island uses some strange kind of energy to revitalize itself. And what causes that energy to release is... [ He clears his throat, suddenly looking uncharacteristically bashful. ] ...partaking in physical intimacy with one another.

[ Is it getting warmer outside, or is it just him? He's pretty certain it's just him. ]

[ As Ferdinand's complexion is doused in a wash of red, Dorothea can feel a grin spreading across her face. It's... adorable, actually. The story is outlandish, but it lines up with the facts she's picked up so far. It feels unimportant compared to how radiant he looks right now. Her own face heats up, as if in response to his. ]

My my, Ferdie. If you wanted a kiss, all you had to do was ask.

[ And then, before he can protest, she's moving in, taking a hold of his face very gingerly and pressing an open kiss to his lips. ]

[ It's Dorothea's playful little grin that takes his breath away first. It's a skill of hers, really. But the last thing he was expecting right away was a kiss. His eyes widen, the color in his cheeks intensifying.

But that reaction of surprise lasts only for a second. With a soft little sound, perhaps one of relief, he returns her kiss, his arms wrapping around her body and keeping her close. His eyes close, and he allows himself to enjoy the kiss until its natural end. ]

...It was hardly my intention to steal a kiss, but you will not hear a single word of complaint from me about it.
