TDM 013: BARING IT ALL
| 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 |

"So generous!" But that's only to be expected of someone whom, he presumes, has managed to gather enough funds even in this new place to make such purchases and luxuries. Someone to observe, certainly.
"Aiyo..." He taps the fan against his chin as he studies some of what is on display, then slips forward to one of the booths to pick out a bag of candies...and a stuffed animal, which he holds out to Guangyao with a childishly wide-eyed look. "This one! Isn't it cute?" Unaware he was supposed to actually play the game attached to it.
no subject
The shop robot exclaims that one would have to play a game to win the items, A bunch of wriggling phalluses needed to be tossed into a moving ring.
"Ah! He is quite cute! I think we need to play to win. Do you wish to go first? You get three phalluses for the first credit."
no subject
He gives the robot a wide-eyed look at the protesting flailing, holding the little tiger close to his chest as if afraid it'll be snatched right back. But the explanation has him laugh and he holds the little tiger out to Guangyao.
"I will! Hold him, he needs to be kept safe until we can take him away!"
And, naturally, pay the robot so he can play. Yes.
Kexing tucks his fan away and holds out an expectant hand for the phalluses. Once in hand, he checks the weight as he decides just how accurate to throw. The wiggling though makes him laugh again. "Even these are cute! How can I have the heart to throw them?!"
no subject
"They are, I mean for what they are supposed to be. Everything here is so silly sometimes. Must you wriggle it like that?" he couldn't help himself he was giggling at the silly sight of it writhing.
"I bet if you threw them they would bounce hilariously." some of the tension he had been holding between his shoulders relaxed. It had been far too long since all he had to think of was having fun. An amusement park was an apt name for this place!
no subject
He grins at the suggestion and throws with some accuracy - at least until the silly things spasmed the other way than he'd thought, and fling themselves away from the ring! He exclaims wordlessly, as if wounded!
But laughs again when the silly thing lands, still wiggling. He can't be too upset to have lost a throw! He tries again...and a third time, getting closer each time, and laughing harder as the silly phalluses wiggle and writhe against each other on the ground.
Kexing holds his hand out for more, shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter. "Again! I'm almost there!"
no subject
He makes a surprised noise as the first one bounced off. And smiles at his over-the-top gestures.
"Again! That was fun to watch." it really had been a long time since he had felt lighthearted and indulgent. He was also glad to have made a new friend. He shifted the tiger on his hip and paid another credit, handing the phalluses to Wen Kexing.
Still giggling, he cheered and encouraged him in his next throws.
no subject
Kexing shoves that thought aside, and focuses on playing. On being extra ridiculous. On earning more of that laughter - in a way, he sees this as payment for using the other's money. Or at least a good start.
He grins at the encouragement and inch by inch, his aim 'improves'. It just takes a few more credits and playful pouts and protests, but he doesn't give up. The necessary number of phalluses eventually wiggle through the ring, and he points with a crow as if needed to draw attention to his success.
"Ha!"
He turns and eagerly reaches for the tiger, but then hesitates, head tilting as if needing to think about it.
"Do you want me to get one for you too?"
no subject
"You did it! Congratulations!"
He was amused by the display, clapping and cheering as he won the game.
"Oh? I would love to have something to commemorate this day." He paid the robot cheerfully, he didn't mind he has plenty of credits saved up from when he worked.
"I want the little fox," he said almost playfully.
no subject
He grins when his offer is accepted, and holds his hand out for the new round of phalluses. "Then I will get you one," he promises with a playful wink and tip of head.
Somehow a fox makes sense for this new friend. Toys in hand, he sets to throwing, laughing when he needs to get more - enough until soon the vaunted little fox is snatched from it's place, and held out with a broad grin to Guangyao.
no subject
"Thank you." he didn't mind paying for them he loved watching him have fun and play and the payment made for fine entertainment.
He takes the fox in his arms and gives a nice, and surprisingly genuine smile. It has been a while since he had received a gift. He hugged it close with both arms. "We need to come up with names for our new friends.
If you are ready to leave I can take us to my home for the rest of it. Do you like gardens Master Wen?"
no subject
"Let's get started, I want to see these gardens! We can think of names on the way."
As for 'Master' business... "Oh no, I couldn't possibly ask you to keep calling me Master! We're friends! You should call me Kexing."
no subject
He walked ahead leading him through the crowds in the amusement park.
"Alright. Kexing. Only if you call me Guangyao as well. I do like making new friends and this place is strange so friends are always welcome." he led them out of the park and into the city.
"We're going to have to make a stop to the kitchens in the Unclean Realms before we get to my home, unfortunately, I haven't been able to install a kitchen yet in my own area but I dod a lot of the cooking. Are there any dishes you like to eat?"
no subject
"Have you been here long?"
Kexing raises a curious brow at the name of the place they're supposedly going to walk through, then decides to just ask. "The Unclean Realms? Ah! I like to cook too! One shouldn't be too picky on food, as long as it is good and given by a friend."
Except if it's food made by Zishu...or the silly little fool Chengling. But he drags his thoughts right back from them. Hopefully before his cheerful expression slips for more than a second.
no subject
Ah yes. It is the ancestral lands of the Nie Sect and a sect leader had used a square to bring his home here. He allowed a few cultivators to reside there.
I would love to taste your food then. I've made a few dishes from my hometown recently I am happy to share them with you." in front of an array he reached out a hand to activate it. The scene shifts around the both of them and they are in front of the main gates of what looks like a fortress, on the western side a tower with flowers and anachronistically different architecture could be seen.
"Welcome."
no subject
"That is generous of him! I am glad you have such good friends."
Kexing beams and nods. "I'd love to cook for you." The array has him study it, and how energy activates it - amazing! One blink to the next and suddenly they're in a completely new place! He'll have to go back at some point to study it closer!
Awe washes clearly over his face as he stares, wide-eyed, around at the tower and flowers, and more familiarly-styled buildings.
"This is the Unclean Realms? Fascinating!"
no subject
"I am as well. I am very fortunate in that regard." he leads then to the northern area, where the kitchen was making a wide berth around that damned statue.
"Well this lower region is. A copy of the Qinghe Nie clan homes. That over there is Koi Tower, the ancestral homes of the Jin Clan, where we will be enjoying our lunch." He stepped inside a kitchen, with various appliances. Opening the fridge door, he pulls out some of the dishes he had made earlier. Steamed fish as well as some rice and chicken soup.
He went about warming the items.
"Mind grabbing a few bottles of wine from that shelf? This will take a few moments to heat up."
