TDM 014: A DAY AT THE FAIR

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. HAY FEVER

A new mode of transportation has made an appearance! From one end of the fairgrounds to the other, and even sometimes off the beaten path and into the wilds, robot-horse-drawn hay wagons shake, rattle, and roll. And, of course, what are hay wagons great for? Anyone fancy a roll in the hay?

Anyone who is taking a hay ride will see their A5 card flash - and they will be given the option to trade one square for the vehicles square. (New players engaging in this prompt can call it a freebie.)

But beware! The wagons roll at all hours of the day and night. At night, the spooks come out to play! Rides will be "haunted" by frightful spooks played by machines and your local Islanders. The 'bots will hire anyone interested to don their favorite slasher costume or ghostly garb. After all, everyone knows that fear and adrenaline are related to attraction, right? Just another thoughtful service provided by your generous benefactors.

II. Acute Beef Poisoning

How about an eating contest? Multiple competitions are held throughout the fair: hot dogs, hot dogs, pies -- just use your imagination! Of course, there's always the chance that you've been recruited to be "eaten"... So sit back and enjoy the ride.

For those of you with an exhibitionist streak, all contests are held in front of an audience.

Be careful, ye who eat here, because the pies in particular have been known to have the following effects (with a two-hour duration):

Meat - A simple aphro pie; a character finds themselves craving a very different kind of meat.
Apple - Temporary amnesia befalls those who've tried the apple pie. The effects can be as great as forgetting your entire identity or as minor as forgetting what you've had for breakfast.
Cherry - Look upon the very face of innocence! All guile falls away from this character, making it impossible for them to lie.
Strawberry - The compulsion to follow orders may be strong sometimes, but the strawberry pie comes with the compulsion to give orders instead.
Blueberry - Oh no! You're looking a bit... off-color? The blueberry pie turns a character's skin blue for the next two hours.

III. BRODEO

Last but not least, try the mechanical contraptions of various sizes - equipped with equipment of various sizes as well! The objective of this game is to last as long as you can.

Thirteen Hand Sam is the smallest of the mechanical horses. It has no attachments, but instead vibrates until the rider orgasms.

Mechanic Mike is the second mechanical horse. With a modest six-inch dildo, it bucks its rider around until orgasm.

For those who like a real challenge, the mechanical bull -- the Bonine -- is a two-person contraption that straps each rider in with their own dildo. They sit face-to-face on the thrashing machine, within touching range, able to encourage each other to come (and to lose) more quickly.

Ride like you've never ridden before, or comfort someone in the aftermath of a job well done.

[Arrival]

Going from a snowy mountain top to being drenched in cold water and covered in sand did not amuse the Ghost King. That doesn't, however, stop him from standing and brushing the sand off.

Surroundings were new and unfamiliar, as was the robot that came towards him with some type of bracelet. Even after that is given he doesn't stick around. Much less when he notices more of the robots.

He would head back in this general direction later, if he thought it benefited him. For now? He might as well explore the island itself and see if anything seemed familiar. While also keeping an eye out for his soulmate.

[Hay Fever]

After managing to get cleaned up earlier in the day he'd noticed the horses. They were nothing like what him and Zishu were used to. He would remember horses that were robotic in nature. There were so many things about the place that were catching his attention, even if he still hadn't figured out what to think of the place yet.

He's comfortable, for the most part, in that little square with his fan out and lazily fanning himself. Something felt off about this ride, though, and he lets his eyes roam around the surroundings before him.

[Brodero]

Kexing had never seen a game that required contraptions like that before. Though, he doesn't participate in it himself, it looked intriguing. People being thrown onto some mechanical animal only to gain pleasure. It wasn't something that he would've thought of. Then again, most of his pleasure came from one man. Before Zishu, there had been others, but that was before he'd found his soulmate.

Snapping his fan shut he sees one of the people who had partaken in one of the mechanical animals. "Are you alright?" Whether he was genuinely concerned or not was anyone's guess, but he could make sure the person wasn't too bad off.

[Wildcard]

Anything you else strikes your fancy, go for it. You can PM Kexing's journal or message me here]

Zishu had been a little concerned when he hadn't immediately seen his soulmate upon splashing to shore, but admittedly only a little. As his silly Kexing says, they are Fated. They'll end up together again eventually.

So he'd gotten cleaned up and set to wandering, listening and observing all he can as he goes along. And that ended up with him watching a rather...unusual activity that has him curious, but not enough to try for himself. Not without his soulmate, at least, and speaking of...

A flash of relief runs through him despite his confidence of finding Kexing even here, and walks up to the other to peer over at the mechanical beasts. "Hm? Fine."

If Kexing was concerned that Zishu wasn't there it didn't show. His fated would find him eventually. It was just a matter of the other man showing up in this place. What with its strange mechanical beasts and... interesting activities on said beasts. Not that the people on those beasts even caught his eye, no matter how pretty.

It's the familiar sound of his voice that has him whirling around and giving a smile, "A-Xu." Then, a hint of amusement to his voice," You're late."

Of course he would. Zishu ignores everything but his Kexing - pretty or not, interesting or not, none matter when his soulmate is right there.

Unless he wants to tease him, of course.

Being told he's late, of course, makes him laugh. "Am I?" He reaches out to pinch Kexing's shoulder with a grin. "Maybe I just wanted to explore a bit before hunting you down!"

Neither of them truly cared about anyone else outside of each other. Even if his Zishu liked to rile him up. Hopefully, that wasn't today. Not when they needed to explore the place a bit more.

He gives a mock pout at the pinch to his shoulder," You are." Though, that mock pout only gets worse," You decided to explore without me, A-Xu? You'll just have to do it all over again." He can't keep that straight face anymore, leaning in to kiss his soulmate.

No, not today. Zishu smooths his hand over his soulmate's shoulder, stepping closer to accept - welcome! - that kiss. Adds a second just because before pulling back with a softer smile.

"Fine. Let's go."

He doesn't mind doing a more thorough exploration now they're together.

Kexing loves those kisses and relishes in them, even if he doesn't show it outright. His Zishu knew. He was practically an open book to his soulmate.

"Have you found anything in your exploring, A-Xu?"

Even as he asks, he turns to follow him away from the mechanical beasts and their interesting uses for them.

He does. Just as his Kexing knows all the pinching and teasing is just part of how he is with those he loves.

Zishu leads the way away without question - as interesting as those things could be, they have more important things to see and figure out. And, really, to settle on a place to live. But also if his soulmate really wants to play, they can in much more comfort.

"What isn't abandoned has already been claimed, we'll have to fix something up." Meaning, of course, Kexing has a lot of work to do.

Perhaps if he were someone else the pinching and teasing would bother him. It only had a little, at first. Things changed after they'd gotten to know each other better. Or, perhaps, after he'd stalked him.

He snaps his fan open and fans himself as they walk, raising his brow at what his soulmate was telling him. The last time they'd fixed anything up it hadn't been Zishu to do most of it.

"How much would need to be fixed, A-Xu?"

Zishu widens his eyes a little at his soulmate, as if shocked by the question. "As much or as little as needed."

But keeps walking, leading the way to one building he recalls passing earlier. "This one doesn't seem to bad, Lao Wen. I don't think it'll take you too long to fix." Because the aim is for a place they can make as cold as possible.

"Unless you're tired, of course. Then it'll take longer."

Kexing does not look amused, in the least. The man walking by his side should be grateful, and glad, that the ghost king loves him as much as he does. Especially when he knows, for a fact, that his A-Xu will be lounging while he's busy doing whatever is needed.

Those eyes look towards the building in question," How much of the inside did you explore?" As for being tired, he gives Zishu a bit of a look.

"What are you going to be doing during that time, A-Xu?"

Zishu is. He knows he's lucky to have this man's love and devotion. If he'd doubted it, the fact Kexing has white hair now would be all he needed to remember.

"The roof seems sturdy, there is a strange power source that I think runs the machines and brings light and cool air inside." Dutiful report. "Mostly it's sweeping and mopping. Maybe new paint and freshen the air up."

No major repairs, at least. Really, he's surprised this one hasn't been moved into already!

"But no furniture, so we'll need a bed." He hums, ignoring being asked what he'll be doing for the moment. "And the bathtub might need mended." He knows how well his soulmate loves his baths!

Kexing had been willing, even now, to give everything up for the man by his side. If they had to go through it again then he would do it again. He would give up his own life for his soulmate.

"Where is this strange power source?" That was something that he wanted to see for himself. If it could provide them with what they needed then they would be fine. He'd find ways around it if it didn't. "Do we even have what we need to do so?" Or is he making those items, he will if he has to.

He's noticed that Zishu didn't answer him and he shakes his head, trying not to laugh," A-Xu." He's clearly amused. "It won't take long, as long as we have what is needed."

Just as Zishu would gladly give his own life for Kexing again and again and again. Finding a way to share their energies so they both live...yes. That had been worth it. He'd expel the nails every time if it meant getting revenge for his soulmate then joining him in death. It didn't matter. Only being with his Kexing did.

He steps inside and flicks a switch beside the door, showing the lights overhead turn on in the small house. It's a bit dirty, really, with debris strewn here and there. But it has potential until they get what they need for more. "I haven't found the source or figured out how it works."

As for what they need, and that exclamation, he grins and takes a moment to step in to steal a kiss to soothe. "I'll get what we need if you want to start organizing things in here. I still have some money." Another kiss...just because.

He steps in beside his soulmate and looks around once the lights overhead turn on. The lights themselves have him looking up for a moment before he focuses on the area in front of them. Perhaps he'd have to figure out where the source came from. Not that it meant anything, not at the moment.

Kexing kisses him back and gives a hum, snapping his fan shut. "You should do that then." It would give him time to figure a few other things out. Another kiss and he shoos his soulmate out the door.

"Go on, A-Xu. It'll be quicker that way."
