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.

gwen stacy . marvel comics ( crau optional )

[gwenzelle]

1. choose your own adventure

[ weeeeelllp. this is new.

gwen's been dropped into random universes before, intentionally and unintentionally, but this is definitely a new one. and it's definitely got venom's attention, but it's more focused on trying to figure out where to find snacks than anything else. gwen on the other hand is more distracted by the fact that this place is kind of a wasteland, and after three attempts, it's obvious her portal charm isn't working right either. but they did mention that the tech here can act up a little sometimes. maybe it's the same for tech she brought from home. which, y'know, sucks. but if this city needs help rebuilding, she's at least going to have a look around to see what she can do while she's stuck here.

focus on what she can do, not what she can't do. be proactive, not reactive. right. peter would definitely be proud of her for keeping her cool right now. ohyeah. so cool.

after wandering around for a while, she eventually picks a building to head into, getting right to webbing certain parts of the structure that look a little wobbly or dangerous. it's not a permanent fix, but it'll hold up for a few days, at least. thanks, venom. when she picks a spot to perch up on the roof, it's partly just to take a break, but also so she can people-watch.

okay, more like robot-watch.

the ai seem friendly enough, just judging by how they're interacting with the people below, but there are way too many questions rattling through her brain to just trust any part of this, including the helpers. she's not exactly being subtle about her time spent watching everything going on either, sitting on the ledge of the building like a curious, blonde gargoyle, and even taking advantage of her sticky feet and walking along the side of the building if she's following a particularly suspicious ai - so if someone were to notice her she doesn't exactly look unapproachable. she might even smile and wave to anybody who happens to look up.

or maybe you're in the building she's sitting on top of, and part of the structure starts to fall apart. a faulty staircase? a hole in the floor? either way, if something goes wrong, gwen will be there quick to catch you with a web or in her arms if she can get there fast enough - thanks spider-sense! ]

2. and bingo was his name-o

[ there's a ping on your device, and surprise! it's gwen's bingo card. which includes: dirty talk, endurance, flexibility, messy, orgasm control, and oral fixation/sex or basically anything on her kink list. duplicity crau will handle this mishap with some grace, but full canon gwen's going to be confused. and mortified. mostly mortified. ]

3. is that a mirror in your pocket? ( tfln style - pick one! )
un: gwenzelle

( 1 ) just call me kirby, because i'm taking you to dreamland.

( 2 ) damn! you must have been a taser in another life, because you are stunning!

( 3 ) i'm not photographer, but i can definitely picture us together.

[ ooc; definitely up for duplicity crau, just let me know in the subject! i'm also up for wildcard shenanigans - if you want your character to land themselves in some kind of trouble and need a spidey to help bail them out, gwen can be there. or if you want to try a different kind of texting prompt, i'll basically roll with anything you toss my way. i'm also up for text threads moving to action, if that's where it goes. pm me if you'd like to make plans first. ]

[wickedlyable]

who... are you

and why do i have a menu of the shit you like in bed

[gwenzelle]

[ sQUINTS LOUDLY at her watch for like. half a second. before she realizes this isn't the first message in this conversation?? somehow?? which-- how?? and why?! ]

i'm gwen.
and my life is a a stupid joke. that's why.

i'd apologize but i don't even know what to say.
why is this even a thing????

[wickedlyable]

look, it's not a big deal. you're fucking a guy whose name starts with J and you accidentally hit my name or something. just don't fucking do it again, are you crazy, how do you not triple-check before sexting a rando

[gwenzelle]

i didn't! i'm not fucking anybody. and i literally just got here.
oddly enough the first thing on my agenda after my arrival wasn't "make a list of sex things to save for a rainy day".

also i'm pretty sure sexting isn't just sending a list of sexy keywords with no context.
and if it is that's... super lazy.

[ things gwen hasn't even halfway attempted before: sexting ]

[ Unsurprisingly, BB-8 is close on Poe's heels as he walks, his beeps echoing as Poe pauses to peer into the buildings they're passing, ones that seem to be crumbling right in front of them. Going back obviously isn't an option, so it just makes sense to try to get a better handle on what they're all dealing with around here. And it's a jarring change of scenery from what he's used to. Even the worst, most run down parts of town in the last place weren't this bad. It's hard to believe that these structures wouldn't be better off just being torn down and replaced entirely, but apparently they're supposed to make it work. Great. Even the brand new device he's been given is glitching out in a bad way. Outside interference is the droid's guess.

He's ignoring that for the time being. Mostly he's focused on searching for familiar faces among the similarly displaced strangers, and so far he's come up empty. Obviously there's no way he would remember every single face, but he spent enough time in one place to have learned a lot of them, even if he didn't know them personally. Still, he thinks that he's gotten a handle on that specific sort of look of someone who's not on the right planet, or even in the right galaxy.

It takes some searching, but he eventually comes across a building that looks like it might not collapse just because someone looked at it the wrong way. And there's a staircase leading to the roof, and what would be a much better vantage point to get the layout of the surrounding area than he can get on the ground.

The whole thing seems rusted, but steady. Or at least it manages until he's almost to the top, where it starts to rattle ominously with every step — but he's too far up to back down now. So while BB-8 looks on from below, warbling unhappily, Poe's looking for whatever he can grab onto that isn't going to fall apart. He's reaching for the ledge when surprisingly strong hand grasps his wrist instead. It's enough to make him tense up, suspicious as he peers up toward the source, but it's a steadying hold, not a hostile one. ]

I'm alright, I'm alright. [ Debatable. ] But thanks.

[gwenzelle]

[ one of the first things that she's noticed since she's arrived in this new city is that her spider-sense is back. she's gone so long without it in duplicity that she almost forgot what it felt like, having that zing of a warning shoot up her spine when there was something to look out for. it's almost like she's starting from scratch, learning how it works. venom was good at being a second set of ( paranoid ) eyes, but this is- it feels amazing. she'll have to thank those thorough doctors later on.

because her immediate focus is on following that rattling noise back towards the stairs she took to get up, the one that's making said spidey-sense go ape shit. someone else must be trying to get up.

so she's quick to scramble back, dropping to her knee when she gets there in time to see someone reaching for that ledge. she doesn't hesitate before reaching out, whether those stairs have actually given way under them or not. she's not risking it. she also only slightly loosens her grip while they - he - climbs up the rest of the way.

and then she's just

kind of

dumbstruck ]

Puh-?

[ that's the sound gwen stacy makes when she's about to say poe?!, but realizes maybe he might... not know who she is. it wouldn't be the first time, and not just with him. so her expression probably gives it away - that recognition and, honestly, mild elation, but she decides it's better to play it safe. and the best way to cover up her blurted out half-word is an ] Umm. [ and a shake of her head, eyes still moving over him like she isn't quite believing what she's seeing ] You're sure you're alright?

[withinreach]

[ She wasn't exactly leaning over the ledge when she caught him, so it's not until he's hauled up over the ledge that he has a chance to get a look at the person who seemed to realize that he needed help before he was even aware of it himself, and it sets him back on his heels for a moment. Any questions he might have had about whether or not she recognizes him are answered before he could give a voice to them, even if words seem to be escaping her he can see the shock and recognition in her eyes. That wouldn't be there if he was just some random stranger on the street to him. No, if he's not sure of anything it's that he's not hallucinating all of this, maybe caught up in another of the city's experiments. Considering how crazy those can be, it's hard to rule it out.

It's also hard to deny what's right in front of him, as solid and real as it's ever been. ]

Gwen.

[ There's a moment that feels like it goes on forever, where they're just staring at each other that, in reality, only lasts a few seconds before he's crossing that distance she's put between them to catch her up into a tight embrace. It's the kind of hug that kind of implies that he might not be planning on letting go for a while. He's just so damn relieved. Wherever this is, and however they got here, at least now he knows that she's safe, and if she's got to be stuck here too, then at least she hasn't suddenly forgotten who he is. Which wasn't even something he was thinking about until just now.

He knows how lucky he is that he hasn't had to deal with that one yet. ]

[gwenzelle]

Hi.

[ she laughs, the tension that had drawn up from trying not to get her hopes up releasing all at once as he pulls her in for a hug. she squeezes him back tight, because it feels like she hasn't seen him in too long, but... it's actually a little bit blurry now? thinking about the last time she saw him. it feels like it's been a little while, but was it really? what was she even doing before she woke up here? she can't seem to land on a solid memory, which is- a lot, so she's trying not to focus too much on it. and she knows that feeling so relieved might make her pretty selfish, considering the state of this new city they've ended up in, but she is. she's over trying to be subtle about it, too, like she might have been back in duplicity. this place is a whole new bucket of weird, so she doesn't have it in her to hide how glad she is to see that she's not alone here.

eventually she pulls back a little bit, but only so she can look at him, arms still looped around his neck. ]

Did you just get here, too? [ her eyes are wide as she shakes her head ] It's insane. This whole thing is insane. I'm still not convinced this isn't some messed up mind game. [ aaand she's hugging him again ] I'm so glad you're here.

[Okay. That's pretty bad, especially when a robotic voice is reading it out, but he laughed.] Does that pickup line usually work, Gwenzelle?

[gwenzelle]

[ h m m m m mmmmm okay. okay, okay, okay. she's been through this. she has definitely already gone through the song and dance of he isn't pure evil in any other universe but her own thing. so it takes her a little while to calm down enough to reply, but. she does. she's not going to assume the worst here. she won't. ]

i've never actually tried it before.
including now! i didn't actually send anything.

but besides all that, i think you know the answer to that question already.

obviously it works perfectly because it's brilliant.

[blindninja]

Well I'm not opposed to taking some pictures together, if you'd like to spend some time exploring the city.

( 3.1 ) un: KING.OF.FISHING

[allumer]

prove you're the real kirby otherwise i'm calling you out for catfishing

1/2

[gwenzelle]

first, i would like to say that being asked to be called "kirby" is not the same as claiming to BE the actual kirby.
and second, it's really rude of you to accuse me of catfishing anyway??
i'd prove it by sucking you up as hard as i can and then wearing your clothes after, but i refuse to play into your accusations.

[gwenzelle]

that sounded way less
like that
in my head.

[allumer]

no it's okay i'm used to getting chewed out so my dignity is only slightly in shambles, i learned my lesson

i've never even heard that pickup line before tho so points for creativity at least??

i'll stop

3-1

[resoluting]

kirby? is that supposed to be a reference to something?

sorry for the wait!

[gwenzelle]

oof.
a reference to something mildly nerdy, yes.

[ wait wait she knows how to figure this out ]

do they have video games where you're from?

[samerica]

There are some things a woman was not meant to know, Stacy.

[but, oops, sam's own bracelet decides to put in its own two cents with its transmission of a bingo card.]

ahaha YESS

[gwenzelle]

look...................
nope, nevermind. i can't explain any of that away, so i'm not going to try.




i knew you were a cuddler, cap.

<:

[samerica]

Yeah, well, I'm not too keen about everything on my card.

[and despite being perfectly capable of googling (or the e-65 equivalent) back home, she's stuck here without resources, and so she has no fucking idea what sounding is.]

Anyone tries to secrete anything on me and they're getting a shield to the face.

—3-3

[gsoh]

[ nope. banned. he hates you.



but also, like, he can kind of appreciate how terrible that was.

but also. ]

I’m blocking this number.

[gwenzelle]

[ PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not that gwen missed peter parker at all ever because he's a total goober and a buzzkill but she might have that fluttery sort of excitement in her chest because okay yes she definitely missed him. she missed him a lot. and go figure he finds her here in another weirdly sex-driven city, but y'know? she'll take it. ]

[gwenzelle]

that was a good one and you know it.
you're just jealous you didn't think of it first.

[gsoh]

Sure, I'm jealous of a bad pick-up line that hinges on me not having spent, oh, a fifth of my life as a photographer.

[ and it may or may not give him terrible flashbacks to that time that harry tried to get him to ""meet new people"" and peter introduced himself by way of "hi I take pictures". ]

What I'm saying is: I can't hear you over the sound of my award-winning photography book.
