TDM 001

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.

Oh. Good. Catra didn't kill someone and make things awful for herself. What a nice change from the normal course of events. she sighs, steps back a little to reclaim some space now that she doesn't need to, you know, deal with someone dead or unconscious.

"Yeah. I will. Sorry." Her voice is still short, clipped. She doesn't like it here and she still doesn't know where Adora is...

"Well, as long as we're on the same page..."

It takes her just a few more seconds to get back to her feet, and a few more seconds to brush her skirt off - just enough time to give Catra a good long look at who she's clobbered. Long white curls; wide, shiny spectacles; blood-red eyes, and a swishing, barbed tail. Whoever she is, she's certainly not human. (Not that Catra reads as human either, now that Pandemonica can actually see her.) Doesn't really seem like a demon either, for that matter. She straightens her glasses out, standing in a more professional stance as she tries to regain her bearings.

"So. I assume you're new here?"

Luckily for Pandemonica, Catra is exceedingly used to people of all shapes, sizes, and species so she doesn't even seem to register Pandemonica as anyone or anything unusual. Catra pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a lengthy, aggravated sigh. Calm, Catra. Calm.

"Yes. Yes, I am very new here and would like to not be here."

Well, at least that's a familiar sound. It's like she's in Hell all over again! And she even has a script for that.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, as per company policy, we're not actually allowed to authorize any transfer requests that don't come straight from the top." Does she look apologetic? Well... sort of. She looks about as apologetic as a customer service rep could look after getting beaned to the floor by a chunk of asphalt. "If you have any other issues we could help with, I'd be happy to take a look?"
heterochrocatic: (171 » I found you)

[personal profile] heterochrocatic 2020-05-21 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're involved with this?" Catra's expression twists into a glare.

"Never mind, I'm not sorry about hitting you anymore."
paindemonium: (001)

[personal profile] paindemonium 2020-05-21 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Urgh. That's sort of the problem when you're running off a script, isn't it. Pandemonica heaves an exhausted sigh, crossing her arms and shaking her head. "Force of habit, sorry. I'm as new as you are. This is my first day off the job in, uh..."

She pauses. And then she pauses some more. Wow, how long has it been?

"...three decades? Probably?" She definitely took a sick day around thirty years ago. She's pretty sure that's it. "All I'm trying to say is that I can't help with the getting out part."
heterochrocatic: (126 » I tried to find the sound)

[personal profile] heterochrocatic 2020-05-21 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ugh." Catra held her head in her hands. She can feel a headache coming on from all of this crap and she's not even been here that long.

"...Any ideas on what we do then? Other than wander around in the dark getting creepy text messages from strangers?"
paindemonium: (002)

[personal profile] paindemonium 2020-05-22 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Not really, if she's being perfectly honest. But the last rep who said that had their blood turned into malt liquor, which (as it turns out) is just flammable enough for the ambient heat in Hell, and she'd really not have a potential repeat on her hands.

"Hmm... Our best bet is probably to look for other new arrivals, and figure out what buildings are still functional." It's a simple enough start. Plus, it buys her precious time to figure out what in Hell's name is going on. "After that, we can call everyone together and establish responsibilities from there."

Ugh. Is she actually going to have to do all this on zero caffeine? This sucks. This whole place sucks.
heterochrocatic: (115 » As it tore through them)

[personal profile] heterochrocatic 2020-05-22 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Ugh. Of course..." Catra rubs her face with one hand, her whole expression suggesting that she's not all that happy with the prospect of being here for any longer than she has to be.

"What's your name, anyway?" This place does indeed suck, but she should probably know this person's name.
paindemonium: (001)

[personal profile] paindemonium 2020-05-22 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
"...ah. Sorry, I'm supposed to say that part first..." Well, hopefully she won't lose too many points for it. She adjusts her glasses, clearing her throat gently into one gloved hand. "Name's Pandemonica. I'm with- well, I was with Hell's Customer Service department. I guess I'm... temporarily unemployed now, probably?"

She straightens her jacket, out of nervous habit more than anything.

"And you?"
heterochrocatic: (103 » I'm running out of time)

[personal profile] heterochrocatic 2020-05-22 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Catra. I don't really have a job or a position right now." That's true enough. The lost official job posting she'd had had been Horde Force Captain and she definitely wasn't that anymore. She crosses her arms across her chest and exhales roughly.

"...This place is weird."
paindemonium: (Default)

[personal profile] paindemonium 2020-05-22 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm. It's definitely not what I'm used to, at least." Between the ruins, the lack of demons, and the absolutely freezing temperature. Then again, it's not like sitting around a stuffy cavern all day was really that much better...

She stares at Catra, half-lidded eyes struggling to stay fully-focused. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
heterochrocatic: (165 » Why run if there is no hurry?)

[personal profile] heterochrocatic 2020-05-22 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Catra sighs.

"No. Unless you have some way of locating my girlfriend and getting us back home." Her voice is just a little sarcastic, but there's a genuine concern there, too--mostly for Adora.
paindemonium: (001)

[personal profile] paindemonium 2020-05-26 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
"...yeah, that's not happening. Sorry." It's probably not what Catra wants to hear, but it doesn't sound like she's intentionally being awful - more like she just Does Not Have the Energy For This. "I mean, even if we were in Hell. That sort of thing's above my pay grade."
