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...

( 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.

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.

you're kidding, right?

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

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.

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

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.]

how so?

must be
should be, anyway

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.]

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

Not sure what I could tell you about it, I don't fly or fix it, but I'll do my best.

you could start by telling me what times you've seen

Oh we've been around, you know. We went to Woodstock. Met Nixon. He was a bit of a plonker.

Doesn't really matter in the end. Can't use it to fix your mistakes, or bring people back to life.

that must be hard

There's hardly any point having this technology when there's fine print that makes it bloody useless.

what happens when it's abused?

The timelines split, things unhappen and everything changes for the worse. [It's a lot more complicated than that, but John is the magic guy, not the science guy.]

Why? Did you want a go at fixing some of your mistakes?
