TDM 001: TFLU

( 1 ) After leaving the teleportation chamber, you are gently coaxed out of the hospital and encouraged to find a place to stay. Maybe you've had time to check out your A5 app. Maybe you're just settling in. It's cloudy, overcast, cold -- you'll want to seek out someplace warm. Also, your device is beeping. A lot. The tech on the island works, it just doesn't work right. You can't seem to send a message to the correct person. It's time for... Texts From Last Universe ( 2 ) What's this? Your bingo card has just been beamed to a stranger's inbox...?! ( sample A5 cards -- NSFW, may contain triggering content, please feel free to use/ignore as you see fit) ( 3 ) And now you're receiving messages from other users that they don't remember sending: Nice shirt. It would look better on my floor. 10/10 would ride it into the sunset. This user thinks you're attractive. u up? 🍆 ( 4 ) Once you figure out that the robots have been hacking your devices, it's no easy feat to track one down and demand they stop. "So The Augur wills!" they wail in a monotone. "So it is done!" Any attempt to actually contact The Augur and get back into the hospital will be met with beefy robot bodyguards, who suggest taking a gentler approach to fix your devices. If you know what they mean. Wink. (This is your overt kink prompt. Please label any threads accordingly.) Note: All prompts are optional. The theme for this TDM is "malfunctioning devices." They can be fixed by indulging in the squares on your cards. For the sake of the TDM, you can use one of the pre-generated examples or a wildcard from the kink list. This can be used as a free bingo square completion once you have been accepted into the game. Players are welcome to wildcard their own TDM prompts; we only ask that you try to stick to the theme. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

autocorrect got me in that last tag! it should've been munted, not mounted. orz

[smokesignals]

I'm sure there's better encouragement they could offer.
But I'm Olivia, and I'm real glad to hear you've got ice-cream-licking requirements that the droids don't seem to care about.

[ At some point, Snow is going to be made very much aware of the fact that her communication device is going haywire, sending out messages that she would never in her wildest dreams consider extending to total strangers.

Even with the knowledge that at least one other person from Fabletown has ended up here, she's still very much wrapped up in trying to get a sense of her surroundings, to the point where she's ignoring the persistent beeping from her wrist and periodically tugging down the sleeve of her suit jacket in a failed attempt to muffle the sound.

Her lips purse in silent commiseration when she realizes the person she's collided with is having the same issue; it's a mild consolation to know she's not the only one affected with a dysfunctional device. ]

Still in one piece. More or less. [ Instinctively, she stands up a little straighter, a habit born of spending most of her life trying to make herself as authoritative as she can. If someone needs to assume more of a leadership role here, she won't think twice before asserting herself. ] Did you just wake up here too?

[housewolf]

They might, we never know.

To be honest, I don't know anything about construction.

[housewolf]

Smartwatches aren't that uncommon these days.

[housewolf]

[1,000 yen doesn't get anybody far. RIP to the economy, but they'll have to figure something out.]

Princes, huh? Don't hear that every day.

Omi Fushimi. Actor-photographer year-round.

[automatized]

I prefer those who can take care of their partners, in the long run.

Don’t worry about the suit. :)

[mcvillain]

You're as confident as you are curious.

Bael rests within the hangar, at the city outskirts.

Would you like to see?

Ask nicely, and perhaps I'll extend the privilege.

[automatized]

‘Mechanoid’ isn’t the term I’d use. But we have advanced robotics.

[ he briefly considers how much he could explain. at the idea of a robot being sentient, which is hilarious given what his gundam is.

vidar looks at his own mobile suit, named the same as himself — quiet, for now, much like a slumbering beast. ]

But I’m surprised at the idea of sentience, with rights and everything.

Though I suppose, that would be the logical conclusion of such an undertaking.

My name is Vidar. And my friend here .... [ a tilt of the head towards his gundam. ] .... is the same name as I am.

[castle]

not entirely

[ but right now, they are thrown into a new set of circumstances, and mostly he's relived to hear from her in any capacity. ]

you ok?

[castle]

good
cause it wouldn't get you anywhere

[automatized]

Not at all. It’s not like I’m busy.

[ vidar turns to look around the hall. ] We might get lost for a bit, but that’s the adventure part of this little excursion. I’m sure we’ll be fine.

[softheartedshizun]

I would rather starve.

[Hard to say what he was referring to, food, or sex.]

[automatized]

Not at all. But that’s for another time.

Yours?

[housewolf]

Are you propositioning me now?

[automatized]

True.

What’s the strangest thing that’s happened in your world, in recent memory? Go by whatever definition ‘strange’ fits for you.

[lapses]

They're fruits.

[ he doesn't know how they're meant to be provocative. ]

[automatized]

Could be. Maybe. A rain check is fine, isn’t it?

[recordingends]

I beg your pardon?

[Jon's stomach drops when he realizes - sees - exactly what card the man wants help with. He stands up straighter, as if his very unintimidating 5'7" will do him any good. It isn't all he has. He would rather not defend himself that way, but the words are on the tip of his tongue. He is still Watched here. He knows it.

His face goes red when he realizes his own card has been read.]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I certainly didn't put this together for myself.

[housewolf]

We should at least exchange names.

I'm Omi Fushimi.

wheezes as I wake up... thank you, stranger

[mcvillain]

[Pushy little brat, isn't he? McGillis lets him have his way for a minute or two, unfazed and unruffled. He's used to insults and he's used to having cameras and microphones shoved in his face, so he just stares back. Cool, calm, and collected, the spitting image of the unfettered general who could order a man to his death without hesitation—or swing the axe himself.

But eventually he does rise, to full height, revealing himself as very, very tall and very, very broad in the shoulders. There's a lot of muscle under that uniform, enough to crack someone's skull open, though he's mannered in his approach as he comes to loom over Prompto. Take a few more? Well, of course. He could take as many as he cared to.

It just wasn't going to come cheap.]

How unfortunate. But we did have a deal, so...

[He's very good looking, thanks for noticing. All the easier to appreciate when he's leaning in with a crisp smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

...pull up your device. Your other device, the one around your wrist.

[automatized]

Vidar.

Lovely to meet you. I can’t cook my way out of a paper bag, but I’m rather charming.

[automatized]

If you’re serious about it, I’m bored enough to oblige.

[mcvillain]

Oh, dear. Sounds like someone's in the need of some discipline.

[Oh, dear, indeed. That just might be the worst square on the whole card, and McGillis just keeps pushing and pushing to embarrass him. Certainly not helped by the fact he's well over six feet, broad in the shoulders and unspeakably powerful beneath that military uniform.

But hey, it takes a military man to enact discipline. Among other things.]

Such a humiliating show. You truly want to bleed that badly?

[Goodness. So many squares, so little time. Aren't you lucky you ran into this helpful man, Jon?]

[earps]

these rewards or whatever bullshit line they're spinning?

no, before they were trying to test us for something
they called it the deception gene

i.

[automatized]

Not at all.

[ outside, vidar is seen wiping down his mask and helmet with a rag pilfered from the hospital staff. there’s blood in it, because he’d gotten into an unfortunate meeting with somebody whom he wasn’t expecting from his world. at least it’s not his.

he smiles genially at the stranger. ]

We haven’t had any indication of what they want from us. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
