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

[Likewise, Ochako is thankfully melting into the calm, serene feeling of all her kinks and aches being worked out that she's not quite so worried about...everything. Literally everything. It's amazing what a massage can do for one's health and mind. The next few hot stones are placed on her back and she sighs out in sheer bliss, eyes sliding shut as the attendant rubs a soothing and fragrant oil over her back working their hands about her shoulders, neck, and even down her arms a bit. Gosh, this is heaven.]

Mm... [Give her a second.] Mmhm. My name's Ochako - Uraraka Ochako. It's nice to meet you, Yukari-chan. You didn't happen to see another girl come in here, did you? A little shorter than me, with long, green-ish black hair, large eyes, and a really cute smile? She's my friend, and we were working together before I showed up here... I think we may have gotten separated, so I--ah...haahh...mmm--

[FOCUS, OCHAKO.] Mm....thought I'd find her here...

[snipers]

[ furrowing her brow for a moment, yukari tries to remember if she's seen anyone matching that description. ]

Mmm... [ ah, but that second delay is because of her attendant's hands, working down her spine and doing their best to work out all of her knots. ] ...No, she doesn't sound familiar.

[ and now she picks up her head a little so she can catch a glimpse at the other girl. ]

Sorry, Ochako-chan. But— [ her eyes close, and she dips her head down again ] —don't give up hope... She might be here. Just hiding.

[floatsaway]

[Oh, that's...not good. Ochako frowns a bit, though it doesn't last because she's sighing out the next time her attendant's hands go down her back, to the base of her spine where all the real bad knots usually manifest. Now, Ochako isn't the worst off in regards to muscle strain and beating herself up, but her line of work does get very strenuous, so she's going to be a bit tense in some parts, and this time around, the muscles need to be worked out a bit more thoroughly. Which means some pinches and pangs of pain before bliss.]

M-Maybe...oh! [She whimpers for a second before pressing her cheek into her pillow. Man, if this was a thing after every mission she did...holy shit.] I don't think Tsu-chan would do something like this, as incredible as it is... Maybe a bath, but not much else. She's a bit more mmm! M-Modest...

[snipers]

[ yukari doesn't reply for a moment as her attendant lets her know that her massage is complete. however, yukari is free to stay here for a little while to finish up her conversation. she thanks them politely, waits until they leave, and then covers as much of herself as she can with her towel. ]

I think there are baths here, [ her reply finally comes, slowly dragging herself out of the relaxed bliss she had been in. ] Have you checked there yet?

[floatsaway]

[Ochako's not done quite yet, considering she has far more tension to work out, and the attendant does apologize for having to intrude on the two young ladies' conversation, promising that they'll be quick.]

M-Mmhm... I-It was the first place I went to, actually. I wanted to clean up before anything else, and - ah! - I didn't see her there. My communicator doesn't work, either, I think it got damaged when I fell into the water...so I can't reach her.

[snipers]

[ yukari waves off the attendant's concern with a polite grin; she's not here to rush them. ]

Hmmm, [ she hums, tipping her head ] If you want, I can help you look when you're done?

[floatsaway]

Uwah, really?! [That's so nice?? Ochako only just met this girl, too, what a generous offer.] I-I mean, if you want...I'd hate to burden you, Yukari-chan, but it would be easier to go looking with someone. Plus, even if we don't find Tsu-chan, getting a better layout of where we are is probably a good idea.

[A map, or even an aerial view with her quirk of the island's geographical makeup - any landmarks or points of interest, etc.]

[snipers]

[ it's as much a selfish offer as it is a selfless one: yukari is much more comfortable around girls her own age, so spending time with someone like that would help her get better adjusted to like, everything... plus, it's good to make a friend! ]

Oh, it's no problem! [ she offers ochako a smile and wraps her towel about herself, hopping off of her massage chair. ] I don't mind — and you're right! It'd be best to get a good handle on what this place looks like and where the city limits are.

[ and having someone to talk to will keep yukari from going absolutely Bonkers ]

I'm gonna get dressed and wait for you to finish up, 'kay? I can meet you by the front entrance, if that works for you.
