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

Hey!

[ suddenly there's something pushing against john's back, shoving him forward and away again. and if he turns to look, the figure in question is a small elf, white braids looped loosely around his throat to keep them out of the way, arms folded. he didn't push him with his hands, then, at least. ]

Try to watch where you're going, yes? [ he gives him a once-over, mouth twisting into a frown. ] And don't take that thing off. I've found the hard way it's some sort of.. magic.. translation device.

[conjobs]

[John stumbles forward and he spins around almost fast enough to trip over himself, clearly still a little disoriented. He'd be a bit snappy, irritable, brusque if he hadn't laid his eyes on the lad.]

Right. [He presses his lips into a thin, flat line and lowers his hand.] Any idea how to turn off the buzzing, mate?

[telahnem]

A bit, [ he admits a little warily, and after a moment steps closer again, reaching for john's wrist and the bracelet around it.

he'd just found it by accident the first time, poking at the buttons, but he's picked up a few things in the last little while. it still takes him a moment to remember what to touch and where, but finally, the noises and buzzing stop, and his glance flicks up, brows arching faintly. ]

Like that, yes? I'm told one can communicate with it, but I've not bothered to send messages yet. [ he's certainly received a few, though. ]

[conjobs]

[John lets him take his wrist without complaint. He's still a little intrigued, to be honest, curious about those facial markings. While he hasn't asked or said anything, he might be staring a bit while buttons are being pushed and fiddled with.]

Cheers love. It's been ringing non-stop. [And for someone who doesn't even keep a phone handy with him most of the times, it's a struggle.]

Did you just get here?

[telahnem]

Don't call me that, [ he says almost reflexively, because in his experience, pet-names from humans never lead to anything good. there's no heat in it, though-- it sounds more like a verbal tic than anything else. ] My name is Hadis of Clan Lavellan.

[ he pushes a few stray strands of hair behind one pointed ear, chin lifting as he looks the other man over thoughtfully. ]

.. A bit ago. Long enough to learn a little. Not long enough to do much exploring yet.

[conjobs]

[Oh. They're going full D&D it seems? That's John's only experience with elves and he's not quite sure how to handle this interaction.]

Right. Me name's John. Do you uh... maybe want to go for a wee bit of a wander then? Hadis? Can I call you Hadis?

[telahnem]

I wouldn't have given you my name if you weren't allowed to use it, John.

[ he gestures back toward the rest of the city. ] Might as well. If we're lucky, we'll stumble into a Rift and fall out back home.

[conjobs]

[Admittedly he's not actually that keen on going back right this minute, but. With the city being in such a state of disrepair, he might change his mind.]

Where're you from? [John starts walking in one direction with enough confidence to offset the fact that he has no idea where he's going.] Tell me about home.

[He might or might not be able to open portals between different realms, but he doesn't want to make any promises yet.]
