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

the answer to that is one of those "yes"s that's like "technically yes...?" but it's mostly just a plain and simple yes.
it was just
a lot.
and it's stuff i know you don't want to hear about.
like, these bingo cards kind of look kind of sweet kind of stuff.

i'm beyond grateful to be away from that city, but i sort of built a whole life there?
it's confusing.

anyway.
yes, i'm okay.
but i really missed you.
like, a lot.

[ "these bingo cards look kind of sweet kind of stuff, yikes. ]

Gwen, I'm not going to even try and guess at what you've been through or put up with for two years for this to look appealing, but I can promise you that whatever I want doesn't come into it. If you want or need to talk about anything, you've got my number.

Figuratively speaking.

[ because sort of built a whole life — he knows what that's like, in more ways than one and though it's not anything he likes to dwell on, it's an experience to have that ripped away, even if it's not the life you wanted or ever imagined having. it's still a life, still something of yours. ]

Where are you now?

[gwenzelle]

i'm actually okay with never talking about that place again.
ok maybe not never.
but thanks.

i found a relatively stable rooftop on one of the taller buildings near the hospital.
maybe two blocks away?
just keeping an eye on things.

there's room for two, if you want to join?

[gsoh]

The offer's there, but at the same time I know that if we, in general, were good at talking about things not framed as potentially life-changing parables, we probably wouldn't be donning spandex - or in your case, symbiotes - and punching bad guys as a "stress-relieving" "hobby".

But in the absence of a good bad guy to hit, don't let it get to the point where you're like, sleeping on the ceiling in a web cocoon. That never ends well for anyone.

Or so I've heard.

Give me 5 minutes and I'll swing by.

[gwenzelle]

that was very, very specific but i'm not going to ask.
i'll be here.

[ and she IS there, on the ledge of a roof that looks like it's about ten minutes from collapsing, looking much like a emotional blonde gargoyle. because those exist. no headphones, no costume. just gwen stacy and her no-good-very-bad-day expression. well, alright, it's not that bad of a day. it's a confusing day, and a weird day, but not bad. this isn't on the same spectrum of bad that she's gotten used to, at least. she's still almost positive that it's not real, that it's just duplicity trying to mess with her again, but she doesn't know that for sure. having a brand new network and a brand new set of rules is new. but who knows?

... seriously, who knows? gwen would love to hear it.

and yes, she could stand once peter is up on that roof with her, but she happens to really like this spot?? and she's feeling incredibly lethargic right now? or maybe just lazy... but she opts to just pat the spot next to her on the ledge instead, trying her best not to seem too glad or relieved or just plain emotional about the fact that he's here, he's actually really here. it's one thing to know you miss the people closest to you ( even though she's still not looking for a best friend, thank you yes she is, she needs a best friend so badly ) but it's another to finally see them again and feel that weird weight finally lift.

she's also leaning on him basically as soon as he's sitting by her. she'll even scoot her butt closer to him if she has to, to make that happen ]

Hi.
