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

[There was a time when he thought he understood Jiang Cheng well, that he understood him more than anyone else. That they had an understanding between them no one could ever compare to.

But now? Now he couldn't understand him at all. He felt like whatever he said or did was always the wrong thing for Jiang Cheng.]

I know what you do to people you think are me...

[How else was he suppose to take that?]

[gottabeshidinme]

That was then, this is now. When have I been trying to catch you recently?

[He's left you alone for a good long while by now, don't think you're the center of his world!!]

[noenvy]

It hasn't been that long. And you only just made a fit at Lotus Pier.

[What was Jiang Cheng even talking about. He never said anything in a straight forward manner!]

[gottabeshidinme]

Have you been too busy dual cultivating to keep track of time?

It's been months.

[Or maybe that's a slight exaggeration - but it's been a long time, at least!]

[noenvy]

What!? With who?

Don't mistake, we have just been traveling! Nothing of the sort has happened!

Nothing! Don't slander Lan Zhan!

[gottabeshidinme]

You ask with who, but you're already giving the answer, yourself.

Or was one man not enough for you, so you've been looking for others to warm your bed on top of that?

[noenvy]

Don't you dare! I'm not that kind of person and you know it!

I...

I'm not dual cultivating! I don't have a cultivation partner!

[gottabeshidinme]

Of course not. You're just sitting in each other's laps and feeling each other up to keep warm.

[noenvy]

I have never not once sat in his lap, what are you talking about? Are you that mad I took him into the ancestral shrine? Then so be it. Be mad, but be mad at me, stop insulting his good name.

[gottabeshidinme]

So you do remember that much?

I don't have to insult his "good" name when he does that enough all by himself.

[noenvy]

Take that back!

[gottabeshidinme]

Am I supposed to make apologies when the actions are his?

[noenvy]

He has done nothing wrong! You are being unfair. Say what you want about me, I'm shameless and terrible, but don't say untrue things about him! Don't let my reputation bring him down. He is not at all like you have said.

[gottabeshidinme]

You really haven't progressed even a little bit.

I should thank Second Master Lan for taking a stain like you off Yunmeng Jiang's hands.

[noenvy]

I haven't been in YunmengJiang's hand in over a decade! Hanguang Jun hasn't taken me off anything! We're just friends, we're just trying to solve a crime!

Where are you! I'll teach you a lesson since you want one so badly!

[gottabeshidinme]

[W O W rub it in, why don't you!!]

You think you can teach me a question, with the state you're in?

If you're that desperate to die, I don't need to dirty my sword.

[noenvy]

[Maybe he wouldn't if they could act reasonably for five minutes.]

Don't underestimate me Jiang Cheng! I might not have a core, but I'll still take you on as your shixiong! Have some manners!

[gottabeshidinme]

[Sorry, Jiang Cheng's "reasonableness" resources for the next decade or so have been exhausted already. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Have some manners? YOU should have some SENSE!

[noenvy]

What? What sense am I lacking? What is so troubling you suddenly now?

[gottabeshidinme]

Do you WANT me to kill you?!

[noenvy]

No.

But I don't know what to do. You'll hate me no matter what, and that's fine, but don't take out your rage on unrelated people. I'm the only one who made those mistakes. No one else.

[gottabeshidinme]

[So Wuxian giving Jiang Cheng his core is a mistake too, now?
... Yeah, that tracks. Actually, in a messed up way, that makes Jiang Cheng feel a bit better. Less guilt; more of a balance between the terrible things and the good things Wuxian accomplished in Jiang Cheng's life.]

Then don't keep provoking me.

I don't hate you, Wei Wuxian, but there's a limit to what I'll tolerate.

[noenvy]

[It wasn't, and he would do it again if given the choice. But everything after? He admitted to it.]

What did I even do to provoke you? I have done nothing.

[gottabeshidinme]

[Should have quit while you were ahead, Wuxian!]

Just shut up already.

[Before Jiang Cheng gets buttmad angry again. Before he actually hurts Wuxian in a serious way.]

[noenvy]

Fine! I'm not talking to you! We can be strangers like you wish!

[His heart wasn't really in it, but too much had happened in too short of a time, emotions were high and things were already rocky.]
