TDM 013: BARING IT ALL

00. Arrival You come out of the water, the Nameless Island's own inherent energy drawing people in. It's like being suspended between realities and abruptly pushed from behind through a rift in dimensions. It may make you sick, or that might be the motion of the ocean, lifting you to the surface and carrying you to shore. Waterlogged and covered in sand, new arrivals will be greeted by robots who welcome them with towels and bracelet devices. The A5 card is already loaded up. If you don’t manage to get away from them quickly enough, they may even usher you toward the Laid Bare Spa, where new arrivals will be offered free massages, a sauna, hairstyling, and their clothing may come up permanently missing. But you will be given a complimentary towel to leave with if needed! Feel free to explore the Island, though there isn’t much to see beyond what arrivals before you have helped to rebuild. Most of the buildings are abandoned and in dire need of repair, and beyond the city lingers a thick fog that obscures much of the wilderness from view. Wander too far into this fog, and you will find yourself mysteriously looping back to where you began, your memories of what you were doing and how you got there erased. With that in mind, it may be wise to stake your claim on a place to live in the now, whether a rundown apartment in the City, a tent on the beach, a bed in the barracks, or your own space at the House of Worship. Your inventory will be found a day later, wrapped up haphazardly and delivered to each person's makeshift home. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● I. THROW IN A TOWEL? Erku's new arrivals may be encouraged to seek out the Laid Bare Massage & Spa for some specialized attention and relaxation, but they and long-time inhabitants will also be offered a chance to earn credits. Anyone interested in earning robot wages will be tasked with being the resident towel person! You’ll stand inside of the room while the patrons are receiving their massages, hot scrubs, or relaxing in one of the saunas holding towels for them should any be requested. Or you may be asked to help with the regular cleaning of the Spa, wiping down all of the tasteful nude statues to free them of the grime and filth (or… other things) that builds up over time. You might even be asked to help lovingly clean the murals of nude patrons (that is to say, fellow Islanders) all over the Spa. But this is a job that requires a very specific uniform. Robots will provide you with your very own chiton or toga. The chitons happen to be very short, not covering nearly as much as they reveal, but the togas might be entirely too long. They brush or drag along the floor and what with being barely held together with the thinnest and most fanciful of ropes, who knows how often they might be untucked? Take care, please, or else the robots might pull you into being the next model for their latest mural portrait instead. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● II. GRIN AND BARE IT Erku’s resident mental health professional, Dr. D. Love of Healthy Body, Healthy Mind Therapy Center, has taken a keen interest in ensuring that the relationships of you Islanders are progressing in a productive, healthy, and open-minded fashion. And to ensure this, he’s tasked his robot staff to pay close attention to anyone who looks like they are having trouble with relationships with other people on the Island. And after months of so few (none) clients, these robots are very motivated to seek out people in need of their therapeutic assistance! Arguing with a friend? Telling someone to stay out of your life? Being a hermit who refuses to come out of your apartment? Accidentally bump into each other on the street? Make a joke at your friend’s expense? Playfully punch someone in the shoulder? Walk by someone you don’t know and not tell them hello? Well clearly all of you need help in repairing whatever may be damaging your relationships! Before you know it, you’ve been bundled off by the robots right to Dr. D. Love’s office and sat down to talk it all out. The fact that you may not even know the other person the robots think you need to work your troubles out with doesn’t matter. Dr. D. Love is here to make sure everyone goes home happy and satisfied. You may have to play along with this confusing farcical situation, even making up wrongs and slights you claim you have done to one another before finally coming together in reconciliation. The more you deny there is anything wrong, the more the good Doctor will insist you need even more help than they first thought. They might even have to send you into one of their Privacy Rooms and work out your frustrations with each other with their wide array of therapeutic sexual devices and supplies. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● III. BARE NAKED AMUSEMENT TOUR The trolley is making its rounds as usual with announcements echoing from the loudspeakers that it’s Bare It All Week at Six Flagellants Amusement Park and to kick it off there will be a grand concert at the Loudinus Outdoor Amphitheater that lasts all week long! Not sure what that means? Well, come to the concert and enjoy hours and hours of music played by robots who seem to have taken their songs right from the pop rock crazes of old. Whose old? Who knows. The music may not be completely to your taste, but something about it may make you feel energized and overly dressed. You might even feel the need to strip down until you’re not wearing anything at all! But don’t worry, the robots performing on stage will give you new clothes to wear by throwing skimpy, sexy underwear and lingerie right at you! How did they know your size? Don’t ask questions, just give into the urge to put it on while you rock out until it’s time for the trolley to take everyone right to the gates of the amusement park! Anyone dressed in less for this week will receive free entry, rides, and food and might even receive special prizes at various booths of sex toys, candies that act as an aphrodisiac (meant for sharing of course), stuffed animals, or even a free sex doll! Those are super hard to win from the ring toss, so you should really take advantage and enjoy all the perks of baring yourself for everyone’s viewing pleasure. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

throw in a towel?! ONLY COWARDS SURRENDER (aka b, also sorry, is a teal deer)

[detonating]

[Based off of his own arrival, and some conversations with the other people being forced to live in this hell hole, Katsuki had put together that new people would start washing up on the shore. It's not out of a place of kindness that he goes looking for anyone he might know, fuck no! It's a means to an end... that end being getting the hell out of here. Since, much to his dismay, it's become pretty apparent that he isn't going to single handedly make an escape for all of the people who have been snatched from their worlds. It's not something he can blast his way out of, and the smart call for the long game is to have as many players on his side as possible. Katsuki isn't even remotely close to being a good team player, but in his time at UA, he has started to learn that sometimes it's necessary.

These are the things he tells himself anyway, because Bakugou Katsuki isn't about to fucking admit, to a damned soul, that maybe... just maybe, he gives a fuck and doesn't want them to be as lost as he was when he first got to the island.

When his walk on the beach turns up nothing, aside from signs in the sand that people have washed up, he decides to turn his attention on that damned spa and those damn clothing stealing garbage cans. The low tolerance for robot bullshit is pretty apparent, and Izuku might hear Katsuki and his threats of violence before he ever takes the turn that has him laying eyes on...

Oh hell no.

Of ALL of the fucking people. Of course. Of course it had to be Deku that he found here. There's no mistaking that dark green shade of hair or scarred up arms, and even more than that, there's really no mistaking that stupid, annoyingly nervous voice that he's heard basically his entire damn life! Katsuki might find some amusement in the fact that Deku is here, looking so dumb all wrapped up in some stupid fucking toga and being coerced into posing for a naked mural, if it weren't for the split second of his brain just erroring out. Not him. Not here. Fuck. Shit. Fuck! If Katsuki hasn't been noticed yet though, he will be, when he snaps himself out of it and interjects- loudly, of course.]

He ain't lying, no one wants to see that shit! Go find someone else, before I crush you like a fucking can!!

[fullgauntlet]

[Meanwhile, Izuku still has no idea what is going on, the thoughts in his head racing as fast as ever as he tries to come to his own conclusions about this place. A warp quirk? Had a villain swept him away to some far off part of Japan to a beach and place he's never been to before? Is this some weird tourist attraction where robots bully people into posing for weird things...?? It hasn't really hit him just yet that this might be an entirely different world all together. Mostly because he wouldn't be too surprised that Japan would have a weird attraction like this, mostly...

But still- That same sort of tense feeling that snaps up his spine when he can practically hear Katsuki's presence coming up from behind him is still in place! He lets out a yelp, mechanically turning around to see his childhood friend and rival. That same angry expression. The yelling.

And Izuku can't help but feel relieved?? As much as he's totally sure that Katsuki doesn't want to see him Izuku is more than happy to see the blond. Because now he's not alone to navigate this weird place and maybe the robots will leave him alone now!!]

Kacchan!! You're here too?!

[Nevermind the fact that Izuku is still standing here in the soft white toga, looking flustered like a bewildered puppy. The robots seem to tinker and beep and then explain that if Izuku won't do it that Katsuki will??]

N-no-! Neither of us want to sign up for that, find someone else who's willing to volunteer!
