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.

Could've fooled me
Since you started this one that way

She pauses. If the device around her arm is as useless as she's been told, it's probably likely that whoever she's talking to didn't mean to send that message. So maybe she should stop teasing for the moment.

Let me guess
You're another cat girl with technology problems/

I am neither a cat nor a girl
but I AM apparently having technology problems.

Then I guess it's just been a coincidence so far
I think we're all having technology problems
I don't know who decided to give these to us, but you would expect them to work, wouldn't you/

Or maybe they ARE working

I would prefer not to think that this is what they're like when they're working.
And if it is, I hazard to guess that it would be like if they... weren't.

It's all the same to me
I've never been able to make any of these things work right on my first try

Whoever brought us here does seem to have an agenda in mind, though
From what I've heard from others
Hopefully it's not too much of a disappointment to turn that unspoken offer down

the agenda is not particularly subtle
have you gotten a card yet?

Oh, gods
No, not yet
What sort of cards are involved/

I recommend bracing yourself before you discover your inbox.
The cards seem to be... full of suggestions. Lurid ones.

Oh
I see

I like to think of myself as fairly adventurous and I haven't even heard of some of these
And some of them I can't even imagine being used in this context
Are there really people who find immobilization arousing/

Yes, well. There's no accounting for
well
yes, I suppose some people do.

Far be it from me to pass judgment
It just isn't something I've thought about
Some of the other things on this list are

Equally not encouraging

You seem to be taking a lot of this in stride, though it's fair far from what I'm used to
Are you used to being taken to strange places against your will/

While this is not the worst thing that's ever happened to me, so far, I am definitely not thrilled.

Well, whoever this 'Augur' is, I doubt 'I've had worse' is something they're expecting to hear
So that should at least put you at an advantage as long as you're able to find someone willing, I suppose

For all I know, we need only fill out one of these cards and then we'll be free to leave

right, the Augur
That's another thing I want to know more about.

Find someone willing to what?
Oh, right.
the cards.

Right.

The machines seem like our best bet to learn more about the Augur
But unfortunately they also won't be much help unless we start filling out boxes
And while you're a perfectly fine conversational partner, like I've already said, I don't think I'll be able to extend that partnership into anything else
If you understand my meaning

No matter how irresistible you may find me

What??
I didn't SEND that message, I swear.
I understanding your meaning perfectly clearly.

I know you didn't
It's hard to let you know that I'm joking over text
Unless there's some way to do that/
Technology and I don't always play well together

Well it has emojis, the little pictures. Sometimes those help.

... I'd advice against using any food pictures, though.

Oh, is that why I was just being sent that one picture constantly/
This is almost like learning a completely different language, if an eggplant can carry that much meaning
Although if yours looks like an eggplant then you probably have bigger problems to worry about

I sincerely hope no one here has an... eggplant.
but yes, they are sort of their own language.

You seem proficient in it
👅 and 🍆 seem simple enough on their own
I don't think I understand 🌮 or 🍑
Obviously the second one is a peach but the first is some kind of yellow insect with green spikes on its hide/
I don't even know what it is, much less how it could be sexual

I'm not sure I have the wherewithal to explain why a taco or peach are particularly sexual.

[Jon realizes he sounds like he's 60, not 30.]

Suffice to say, they're also meant to represent body parts.

Well
Now I understand the peach, but
What's a 'taco', exactly/
Is this another one of those niche fetishes/
Are people into sexual bugs/

please don't make me say it

I'm smart enough to figure out what it means
I just don't know what a taco actually is
