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.

Caduceus could see the sorrow in Caleb's smile. Back home, in the Blooming Grove, Caduceus would spend hours just listening or even sitting with people who missed loved ones, this moment with Caleb felt like one of those moments too and even though it was hard to smile through it, he was glad Caleb had smiled at all. No matter how small or tight it was.

Turning the candy over a few more times in his hand before setting it down. He listened to Caleb's offer, to his words about how difficult this place might be. "I get it. It's a lot. But I'm okay, I'm with friends and that's all that matters. " The thought of what this world wanted from them was honestly, a little terrifying for the Cleric, he was way out of his comfort zone, but then again, he had been out of his comfort zone the day a small group of strangers showed up at his door unannounced. He's never looked back since and he doesn't plan to now.

"That would be neat, thank you, Mr Caleb. I would love to get a feel for the Island. See what grows where and where nothing grows at all."

For now, he'll take Caduceus at his word that he's all right. But Caleb will keep an eye out. The cleric so often seeks to help others, and rarely asks for it himself, so it will be up to those who care for him to make sure that he has what he needs. Caleb can start with getting him acquainted with the island itself, at least.

"I can show you that, I think. But we will have to be careful near the forests, as there are some plants that are, ah--poisonous, essentially." Powerful aphrodisiac type poisonous rather than infect and kill type poisonous, but still not something either of them would want to mess with.

But there is also a much safer alternative, and when it occurs to Caleb a moment later it feels like it should have been obvious from the start. "You should see the community greenhouse, at least. I know that you would find it fascinating. There are things growing there that I certainly could not name. Things others have brought here from their own worlds."

It's true, Caduceus would rather look after others than have them look after him but he's not going to turn his nose up at it. It's honestly a touching sentiment, that Caleb would worry so over him. Caleb was special, well, all of the Mighty Nein were special but Caleb was something else. Caduceus didn't know what it was but yet, but he was sure the world was setting the Wizard on a very important path and the Cleric intended to therefor him.

"That's alright Mr Caleb, I'll just have a little word with the plants, ask them very nicely not to bother us and we won't bother them." Innocence in his expression, in his words, as he smiled.

The idea of a community greenhouse fills the Firbolg with joy. Just the thought of people coming together over plants and nature is wonderful, isn't it? Nodding gently as he listened to the suggestion. "I think I'd like to see such a place, yea." Another thought popped into his mind; "You'll have to show me something on the island you like or enjoy too."
