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

[covertness]

just for the record
what do you think you just agreed to?

[conjobs]

Licking your shoes and putting ice cream on my nipples. Honestly? I'm not sure about twelve inches up the arse, I could maybe do eight, but it's really not a dealbreaker mate.

[covertness]

well, i'm impressed
the ice cream sounds good, though
do you actually have ice cream?

[conjobs]

No but I'm still at the hospital and there might be some here. You asked so I figured you had some.

[covertness]

i don't
i also didn't actually send that

care to have a look around for ice cream? now i have a craving

[conjobs]

Oh [He's. Mildly disappointed? Maybe. Was it something he said? Maybe he should just say yes to everything next time and try to negotiate out of hurting himself too badly once they've met.]

Alright well there might be a children's ward where they keep the ice cream in the kitchen, I'll have a wander

[covertness]

sorry
seems like a lot of texts are going around today

[ this is not the first time it's happened to her today. probably won't be the last. what can you do but try to take it with humour? ]

i don't want to imagine children in this place

[conjobs]

[He just sort of assumed there would inevitably be some little brats running around? It's not like he'd stuck around long enough to listen to or read the fine print.]

It's alright love, plenty of time and opportunity for fun later. Anyway food's more important, right?

[covertness]

[ meanwhile, bobbi is definitely making a point to read the fine print and gather all the intel she can. while pretending that she's not doing that at all, as you do. ]

i prefer my fun non-mandated

[ she also likes the sound of 'love' a lot better than 'mate'. simple pleasures ]

i'd say let's wine and dine first
but the only food i've seen around so far looked dubious

[conjobs]

Mm takes the spontaneity out of it I suppose. [Don't get his hopes up now on there being wine in this place. He doesn't care if he has to eat out of the trash as long as there's alcohol.

He won't disappoint her with the fact that he can't find any ice cream so far. But the fact that he hasn't announced any victories yet is probably not very promising.]

[covertness]

[ the sad truth is that she doesn't expect ice cream or wine. but a bottle of chardonnay really wouldn't go amiss right about now. ]

it kind of does
but it may be a bit much to expect from a robot to be spontaneous?

[conjobs]

[He's been spending some time on a ship with a fairly spontaneous AI so he's not going to blame it on the tech.]

Some things about us I don't think we should tell a robot.

[covertness]

[ she'd love to hear all about the waverider some day ]

that's good advice

[ and, a moment later: ]

still no ice cream?

[conjobs]

Sorry love, not this time. Let's keep in touch, eh?

[covertness]

sounds good
we'll both keep an eye out for ice cream
i'm katelin btw

[ not her real name, nbd ]

and you?

[conjobs]

John Constantine [He would have just given her 'John' but who knows how many there are around here. He's got to make some kind of impression right? With any luck she'll keep his number.]

[covertness]

what do you do when you're not searching for ice cream on a sex island, john?

[ he's made an impression already ]

[conjobs]

I'm an exorcist, demonologist, renowned warlock and [...] occasional tinkerer of the dark arts.
I travel through time with a bunch of wankers trying to fix things and making them worse. [Actually they're not that bad, they've kind of grown on him, but he'll never admit to that out loud.

It's too bad they're not talking in person because he would have said that all with a straight face, too.]

What about you?

[covertness]

you're kidding, right?

i'm [ an international spy working for shield, dealing with aliens and whatnot on the regular ] a scientist

[conjobs]

Yeah well I suppose that's not true. Sometimes we do end up making things better.

You'll be just the person this island needs then, help bring it all back to life.

[covertness]

so you're not kidding
that's impressive
i'd love to hear more about it

this place doesn't seem to work according to any science i've ever studied, so i'm not so sure about that

[conjobs]

You might regret that. It's a nasty line of business.

And well the principles must be the same, or something. [He's not a very sciency person. But there are rules to magic, so there must be rules to science.]

[covertness]

how so?

must be
should be, anyway

[conjobs]

You're dealing with greedy, manipulative, violent cunts all the time. Most of them want to kill you and those who don't want something else from you. [Naively, he used to think he only ever saw the ugly side of people, back before he figured out that people are worse than anything else he'll ever come across.]

[covertness]

well
i definitely don't want to get into that line of business, then

but i'd still love to hear about the time travelling ship at least
