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

a. Hacked (Probably) Messages

[So, you may at some point receive some text messages from Ruggie's device. It's not properly labeled with a name, instead the sender is just some sort of obvious spambot name: "hyenahottie69" "slut4donuts" "bitcchi_in_heat" etc. Any of the following are on the table, if you're inclined to actually reply,]

Listen, if you think anything is going to get between me and licking every bit of whipped cream off your body, you're WRONG.

I just wanna get pegged is that too much to ask?

Hey, just saying, a hard-on is a sign of submission for hyenas so I AM being polite. ;)

I can't believe I make it to a place with no laws and there's nothing to steal.

b. So The Augur Wills

[Slowly but surely different groups of people find the source of the issue and try to reason with robots that clearly can't be reasoned with. Ruggie wasn't the type to try and storm the hospital- that sort of thing was way too direct and he'd seen a couple of hero-types get sent packing on their asses. So, they needed a "gentle" solution, huh?]

[The spam messages were't enough to make Ruggie desperate but he knew an opportunity when he saw it.]

Yo. [he greets a person in a nice, secluded area] You want to get this thing fixed, right? I happened to overhear those robo-goons and I know exactly what you're supposed to do!

[is he telling the truth? lying? both?]

c. A Different Malfunctioning Device

[So, as a reward for some ill-gotten activity, Ruggie was gifted something. Normally he loved gifts. Who didn't love free stuff? Still, this gift definitely was given with a sort of fucked-up sense of humor...]

[Ruggie is perched on the windowsill of one of the old, forgotten buildings. The yellow on his clothes pops brightly against the grey, dismal landscape. Getting closer, people may notice another pop of color on the ground level. It's. Hm. (nsfw) The brightly colored sex toy is writhing and hopping, almost more like a wild animal than an inanimate object. Get too close and it will start flopping in the direction of the nearest warm body (or, you know, whatever your character's got).]

Caaaa~reful, [Ruggie calls down from his little crow's nest of safety]

That thing's got a mind of its own. Try not to get caught! [and he hides a laugh behind his hand]

d. wildcard

(ooc: other ideas? wanna plot or custom starter? hit me up. character is 17, open to saucy threads with any and all identifications. can match format if preferred)

IMMA GONNA LOVE THE CUTE HYENA BOI so the augur wills!!

[mcvillain]

[McGillis halts at the sound of a shrieking, shrill hyena... oh, wait. It's a literal hyena. Not that he can tell the difference, so focused on those perky ears and that clever curve of his smile. It at least manages to grab his attention, although he raises a slim brow at the claim.]

By all means, then. Fill me in.

[Is he telling the truth? Lying? Both? Doesn't matter. He'll get further with him than with these robotic goons, so he's all ears. The normal kind.]

HELL YEAH

[ruggie]

[Well, hey, before you call him shrill, give him a moment to- shishishi- there's the signature little laugh.]

Right, so anything that needs fixing here needs this sort of energy. It's some kind of fancy magic or something, since y'can't do it alone. Lucky for you I happen to be here, right?

[he grins and those big, round ears twitch slightly]

But here's the thing... I fixed mine already. [a lie]

And it's not like I don't mind giving a helping hand now and then, that's all well and good but... y'know that's not how the world works.

[mcvillain]

If you fixed it already, you wouldn't be hanging about.

[Don't lie to a liar, son. But his cheekiness seems to wear well on McGillis, who quirks a small smile of his own and draws a bit closer. Just a bit, because those teeth look awfully sharp and he's not quite he wants to get bitten. Yet.]

So how does it work? Since you're clearly such an expert.

[Catching the lie is just the start of fun. Making them regret it... oh, that's his favorite part.]

[ruggie]

[There's the slightest tenseness to his smile when he's called out, otherwise he doesn't flinch. In his mind, he wasn't caught in the lie until he's run his pursuer around the block once or twice.]

Apparently it's some sort of energy that gets let off when people get frisky.

[he says it with a completely straight face- also because, as far as he can tell, that is the truth]

You know? Handsy? Hanky-panky? Looking for the snake in the grass? Locking lips or legs or whatever.

[Now, with the most innocent look he can manage (which isn't very, to be honest, his eyes are still twinkling),]

You're not a virgin, are ya' Mister?

[mcvillain]

[Not by a long shot. His eyes don't quite sparkle, but they're very, very dark.]

Is that why you're lurking around? To swallow some up, little beast?

[housewolf]

[Omi's started wandering around, noticing this place is incredibly bare. Even an abandoned island feel should have more than just... shelter, right? There's an awfully depressing lack of trees.

He was hoping for fruit or something along those lines. If he had that much, he might be able to cobble together a meal that didn't come from those sketchy winking robots?]

Is that so? What did they say?

[ruggie]

[The whole place is desolate and that's even by the standards of someone who grew up somewhere desolate. This place could at least stand to have the ruddy golden color of the ground or a blue sky.]

Apparently it's something you need a partner for. I already fixed mine [a lie] but I can help you out with yours... so long as you promise me something in return.

Not right away! I get we're all working with a lot of nothing right now.

[housewolf]

Let me hear the deal first.

[They're all strangers in a strange land around these parts, but it seems foolish to agree to something without even hearing the terms and conditions.]

What's the something you want promised?

[ruggie]

[Honestly, he'd rather be securing the things themselves than just "promises," too... the problem being that there was nothing here! He was forced to gamble on some return on investment. Not to mention the fact that if he didn't pin it down, he could up the number later...]

High-class restaurant-quality steak.

[might as well go with something he'd always be happy to get]

[housewolf]

[That would be so easy if it wasn't for their current circumstances.]

I could easily agree to making that if we weren't stuck in... [He gestures vaguely to the entire barren area.]

If I can find steak, I can cook it. [But who knows if he can find something so specific.]

a - first msg

[pancakechi]

Nothing will stop you?

What about a bullet?

[ruggie]

Woah! Okay, listen there's been some misunderstanding but

even with that, isn't a bullet a bit extreme?

[pancakechi]

That depends.

If I told you where your tongue was allowed to go, would you listen?

[ruggie]

Wait wait wait is there actually whipped cream over there? Where are you? Where is it?

[pancakechi]

No. There is no whipped cream. What are you, an idiot?



And if there was, I wouldn't tell you. I like the taste of it, myself.

Do you still want to know where I am?

c for max idiot duo

[savanaclaw]

[So that pop of familiar yellow is what had originally drawn Leona towards the dismal doghouse. Before he gets a chance to peer up and see who's up there (Ruggie? Jack? Someone else from Savanaclaw? A coincidence?) his attention is drawn by brighter color and movement on the ground, flopping and wriggling towards him.

Immediately, his ears press back and his tail swishes in... something like wary interest. What is that? What's it doing? What will happen if he just... nudges it with the ground-end of his staff?

(The answer to that is, apparently, wriggle a little more aggressively towards him.)

Ruggie's voice ringing out above him reminds him of the reason he'd wandered over in the first place, though, and so he looks up at him with very clear annoyance.]

Ruggie? What the hell is thi--!!!

[It hopped and wriggled over his foot and, apparently, decided to try going up his pant leg. Which has the distinct effect of making Leona's tail puff up as he springs back several feet in very, very clear surprise, magic building around his hand.

Yeah, that hopping, wriggling, neon dildo is now just an innocent, lifeless, pile of sand in the middle of a pit of sand that was once the ground it was hopping over. Whoops.]

[ruggie]

[Leona wasn't someone that Ruggie was expecting to see. Since he didn't see him immediately, he sort of just assumed he was on his own. And, if he's being cheeky, it's weird to see Leona actually walking around instead of just picking the coziest space to lay down.]

[Not that any space here was very cozy.]

[Still, ah! Look at his tail bristle up like that! Hilarious!]

Hah, Leona, look out- [his warning doesn't sound very panicked. After all, it was kind of funny to imagine Leona getting anything shoved in his mouth. How often in his life did he get to see something like that?]

[... and then, in hardly a moment, it's over.]

... Eeeh. [try to sound less disappointed, Ruggie]

[savanaclaw]

[That's the problem. Nowhere here is especially cozy, and if he's honest, Ruggie is probably perched in the coziest spot, right now. So he has half a mind to kick him out of it, but...

No, seeing a familiar face is. Better.

Maybe?

Who knows.

What he does know is that the warning wasn't very much of a warning at all, and that Ruggie has the nerve to sound disappointed when the toy is destroyed.

Ahem.]

Ruggie, what was that about?

[He can only assume that the hyena planted the damn thing as some kind of trap... he'd normally be all for laughing at others with him, possibly while perched in his own high place, but since he was the victim? Annoyance.

Annoyance that shows clear as day, with his tail swishing low and his ears still pressed flat.]

[ruggie]

[Ruggie was always sure he'd be fine on his own. That was just how he was raised. If he had to be 100% honest, though, seeing Leona made him a little more sure that they'd get out of this situation. Even after seeing the dorm leader at his worst (and almost losing an arm for it) he was still confident that things could work.]

So, I was fooling around with someone 'cos apparently you can get rewards for it with some sort of magic... and that [he gestures at the pile of sand with his foot] was one of the rewards.

Buuuu~t, [he sighs, slumping his shoulders slightly] turns out it just does what it wants. What a stupid enchantment!

[So, it would be nice if it were a trap he'd set. In reality, he was more of a treed hyena after realizing it wouldn't let up. Leona missed a great laugh-worthy scene from maybe twenty minutes ago.]

Wish they'd just given me snacks or something...

[savanaclaw]

[Leona knew he'd be fine on his own when he showed up - even if he had to do the things that this... card... tried to tell him to, for rewards, to live comfortably, but finding someone he knows and - importantly - trusts is all the better.

And as Ruggie explains what the deal is with the writhing thing, his ears slowly perk up, and the fur on his tail smooths down, when he's reassured that, no, Ruggie doesn't have another one up his sleeve he's about to drop down on his head.]

Idiot. Of course a prize would be something like that.

[Sexy tasks mean sexy prizes, right?]

c

[pawper]

[Like....okay. Okay. She grew up with two brothers, spent days holed up in less-than-reputable inns, and has lived under the same roof as a bunch of guys her age. Lys is many things, "obtuse as all hell" among them, but she at least has a vague idea of what a penis looks like.

But she's never seen one that's 1) detached from someone's body 2) multicolored, or 3) hopping and flopping around like a marionette sans strings. So of course she not only fails to connect the dots, but she actually bends down to get a better look at it.]

What is it? —gah!

[Cue the thing making a physics-defying dive for her stupid, open mouth.]

[ruggie]

[Ruggie would feel bad if that wasn't the funniest thing he's said all day.]

Pfffhahaha-

[comes the laughter from above. He's allowed to laugh if he was nearly the victim of it earlier, right? He hadn't been gullible enough to actually lean down near it but it had definitely tried to leap at him.]

W- [haha] Wow, it really likes you!

[pawper]

[Going from standing to crouching to scrambling backward is a professional move for professionals, which means Lys pretty quickly loses her balance and has to resort to an awkward crab shuffle just to gain some distance. The amazing technicolor dildo lands on the ground, twitches briefly, then starts determinedly flopping after her.]

"Likes" me? [No, idiot, don't look up at the laughing guy who seems entirely comfortable right where he is!] Is this thing your pet or something?

[ruggie]

[Oh, oh! The crabwalk is good, too! His laugh makes a shishishi sound from between his teeth.]

Nah, nah. [he replies, cheerful as can be.]

It was gifted to me but I don't have any use for it. Maybe you should have it!

[Slowly, with each convulsion, it draws nearer. Flop, flop, flop, flop, flop, flop...]
