TDM 014: A DAY AT THE FAIR
| 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):
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. N A V I G A T I O N |
ii. fair; an apple a day
Having learned her lesson the hard way, she approached him and tapped him on the shoulder. ]
Hey, you should be really careful with what you eat here. The food can have all kinds of crazy effects.
no subject
Crazy effects like what?
no subject
It can be totally random. Mostly they aim for anything they think will encourage us to sleep together. They’re pretty single minded.
[ She shrugged, because this was all becoming very normal for her. She sat next to him. ]
I'm Cana. Cana Alberona. What's your name?
[ She reached for a piece of blueberry pie. She gestured for one of the little robots to come closer so she could get a drink order going. ]
no subject
... He has one, he's sure. It eludes his tongue, though. ]
I don't know. [ Cana, that's her name. Why doesn't he know his own? ] That's weird, isn't it. Not knowing.
[ After a moment's debate, he pushes his plate away. ]
no subject
Ok, get me two ales with nothing other than alcohol in it, understand? We’re already eating the damn food. [ The robot seemed to understand. She wasn’t exactly nice to the bots, but she was in a constant state of frustration with their pervy, devious antics.
She turned to him giving a very tentative, gentle pat on the shoulder that was meant to be reassuring, but she didn’t want to overly invade his space. ]
The effects always wear off after a time.[ She sighed and took a bite of her pie. ] You kind of just start rolling with it after a while. Though I have no idea why the bots would think amnesia is sexy.
no subject
Why would droids care about the copulation of organics?
no subject
[ After a ‘sip’ that drained half the tankard, she responded. ] The way it was explained to me was that they’re using our sexual energy to bring this world back to life.[ She gestured in the direction of the city. ] If you look around, you see a mix of abandoned and destroyed buildings, except where we’ve begun rebuilding and reclaiming. [ She gestured to the natural greenery all around them. ] I guess our energy is also bringing back life in a more direct form too. I’ve been told by someone who’s been here a while they’ve seen this world continue growing and healing.
[ She chowed down on more of her pie, and finished off her drink, always ready for the next one. After she finished her bite, she mused aloud. ] So far, no one’s been able to tell me what happened here. But somehow the Augur realized what was needed to revitalize this place, and they essentially jump started an adult sexual paradise- well, what they think it would be. Unfortunately they don’t seem to get that they shouldn’t be abducting people. [ She shrugged again. ]
If it’s any consolation, my understanding is this place pulls you from a place in your timeline, and it will eventually send you back to that same place as if nothing happened. There doesn’t seem to be any real consequence to what happens here. I’ve even met someone pulled here from their afterlife. They’re the one who explained the time thing to me.
no subject
He sips his drink as he listens. ]
That's very informative, thank you.
[ Being unable to remember much about himself doesn't stop him from filing away what she tells him for the future. ]
Is the Augur the lead droid?
[ It's an imposing title, a little silly. ]
no subject
[ She tilts her head at him curiously. ] When you get your memory back, you’ll have to tell me about your world. I’ve heard of some really incredible ones.
[ She finished off her pie, just in time to wash it down with a new tankard of ale. She noticed as she reached for her mug her hand was… a blue tint? ] Huh, that’s an interesting affect. [ She seemed to think about it for a moment, then she laughed. ] I would look so hot as a darker shade of blue! [ She grabbed another piece of blueberry pie. ]
no subject
I'll tell you when I know.
[ It's an exchange of information, albeit currently lacking on his side. He doesn't want to be indebted to anyone, however.
Mild alarm makes him raise his brows as her skin turns blue. ]
Are you sure you want to keep eating that?
no subject
[ Returning to her food, she confesses. ] I had a pretty… memeorable experience my first day that has kept me from eating or drinking all that much. I’m just excited to find a food that doesn’t affect my libido.
