Y/N > Y ![]() Your eyes blink open to the blinding glare of overhead lights and the sight of a pair of glassy mechanical eyes boring into your own. The face above yours moves like liquid mercury, forming an approximation of a figure that you recognize and trust implicitly: a friend, a loved one, a caretaker. Perhaps even a god or a goddess. From its lips fall the patterns of a language that is strange and robotic, and yet familiar to you: Welcome to the N̵̩̈́̓ä̶͇́͂͘m̸̠͒e̴̞̻̾ͅl̷̹̄͝ḙ̷̺͗s̵̳͊̀ṣ̵̱̚ͅ ̶̧͒̄Í̴͔s̵̡̛̺̍̓ļ̵̥͖̄͛͌ḁ̸̳̟̒́n̵̻͑́͗d̴̩͕̰̂̊̔ Darkness overtakes you once again. I. Arrival ![]() When you awake, you find you have washed up on the otherworldly pink sands of an impossibly beautiful beach, the tropical scenery spoiled only slightly by your seasickness. New arrivals, waterlogged and covered in sand, 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, all is available for your use. Stake your claim on a place to live in the now, whether an apartment in the City, a shack on the beach, or a bigger space at the House of Worship with friends. Your inventory will be found a day later, wrapped up haphazardly and delivered to each arrival's home. II. Spooky Scavenger Hunt ![]() Even with the Nameless Island reborn and open to your every whim, the robots still like to provide stimulating opportunities for people to get to know one another and earn some credits. But instead of the manual labor typical of the previous situation, they have engineered a scavenger hunt in honor of the Island's new autumn scenery! Islanders will find themselves pulled off the street, from inside establishments, and even from outside their own homes and paired with a partner. Their bracelets will be scanned and they will both find identical messages in their inboxes detailed they have 24 hours to find 10 randomized items on their list provided. Do so and bring them back (or take a picture if they are too big) to the Scavenger Station and they’ll receive a hefty reward of credits! Bonus Credits if they can show proof or pictures of the items being put to use before they turn them in. The robots certainly encourage the full scavenger hunt experience. The items can be found anywhere in the City. Sometimes in likely places and other times in a place you might not even consider (on other Islanders, for example?), although each team’s list will provide clues of where to look.
… and more! (Feel free to get creative! Items can range from silly to outright explicit.) III. Two Moon Film Festival ![]() In order to promote the various community college classes available at the Library for Islander enrichment, the resident robots have cooked up a very special opportunity for Islanders to show off the new skills they have been practicing in their Amateur Porn classes to the growing Erku community: the Two Moon Film Festival! Everyone on the island, both new and old, gets a ticket for the festival itself. In the meantime, there are openings for pairs and groups to participate in creating the entries that will be showcased at said festival. Up for a creative challenge? Found yourself involuntarily signed up and unable to back out? One way or another, many Islanders are now entered into the film-making contest. New arrivals are encouraged to buddy up with Islanders who attended the classes, but anyone is welcome and encouraged to shoot their shot! Each duo or group that participates is to meet at the Library at sundown for their assignments: a genre, a line of dialogue, a character type or name, and a prop, all of which are randomized and different per group. You now have until sundown two days from now to create a short movie that incorporates at least three of the four items. Everything they need, from equipment to props and costumes, will be provided. Engaging and interactive VR sets can be programmed by helpful robots, and catering is available to help keep the crews properly fueled up. The punch and pie provided have the added effect of inspiring great bursts of creativity (and for a lucky few, horniness) in those who consume them. Following the deadline, all finished entries will debut on the big screen at Two Moon Film Festival, hosted by the Full Moon(ty) Theater. Chat up other contestants and the viewers before and afterward, laugh at the cringeworthy moments and bad acting, and aim for winning the Audience's Choice Award! All entrants to the contest earn one small reward of their choosing, while the winners of the contest will each receive one free BINGO-level request from the Augur! [ OOC: Shout out of thanks to ![]() Load Simulation . . .? Y/N READY: Simulation 1.1 Tenebrae Town ![]() Your consciousness comes to you in the midst of a dense autumn forest. You haven't been asleep. You stand there, fully clothed, but perhaps not in your usual attire - perhaps you're wearing a belted tunic with trousers and leather boots to protect you from the cold ground, or a long and modest dress with an apron and a hood, hand-sewn in natural fabrics. The chill in the air and even the smell of the dirt and the trees are not like those of the Island. This place feels old, a strange energy crackling in the air. Some may recognize it as a very ancient magic. In the distance, colorful lights dance between the trees. Approach closely enough and they look like fairies, but they are always just out of your reach. Are they leading you somewhere? No - if you follow them, as they seem to bid you, they will only lead you deeper into danger: a snarling wolf, a sudden drop into a craggy ravine. They are mischievous, sometimes cruel little things. You'll never escape this forest by yourself. For as long as you are alone, the night is interminable - days long, it seems. Are you the determined sort, willing to choose a direction and continue walking no matter what, or will you give into despair of being hopelessly lost? With any luck, it won't take you long to find out that your only way out is with the help of someone else. Only by agreeing to work together will the dawn finally break, and your path into Tenebrae Town will become clear. Should you refuse, or never cross paths with another Islander? Maybe the wolves will take you in. OOC Notes:To accommodate our smaller community and split-setting environment, TDMs going forward will be open to old and new players for top levels! Please state in your subject line whether you are a TDMing a new character, or top-leveling with a character currently in the game! Voting for Audience Choice Awards for Prompt III will be held in November. Threads should be started by the time you submit your entries, but need not be finished in order to win! Entries will still be valid if they include characters who TDMed but did not apply to the game. ALL participants in the contest may handwave one small Augur reward request equivalent to an incomplete thread reward. N A V I G A T I O N |

Please? It's really hurting.
[He was pretty sure that Doppo could feel his erection, because Cain certainly couldn't hide it. He'd tried a little bit but he couldn't get any of the clothes off and right now he was the only person who could help.]
Please? I bet you taste so nice, I don't care what you do. Just...
[Doppo would start feeling Cain's tongue on his neck and fingers in his shirt, wrestling with it to at least get something off. He licked a line up Doppo's next, ending with what he was trying to make as a kiss to the other man's lips.]
no subject
Wait, that's not a suggestion Doppo should make to someone who he thinks is already incredibly inebriated. Before he knows it, the buttons of his shirt come undone and slips off. Doppo reaches to grasp at Cain's arm, not to push or pull him but just holding it there as if to pause the insanity for just a moment, if he can. ]
Do you have...any idea what you're doing? [ The tone in his voice is dead serious and extremely worried, but it also follows with the resigned acknowledgement that he may actually have to... "help" Cain make the pain stop. ]
no subject
I...don't know? Never done anything like this before. But I trust you...you can help me, can't you? I don't mind.....please do anything you want.
[He wasn't holding onto Doppo as tightly now, but he did lean up to plant another affectionate kiss on the side of Doppo's face, then trailing down to his neck again where his teeth ran along the ridge of his collarbone. The fingers of his free hand were going to start trailing down lower on the older man's skin too, following the barest of instincts.]
no subject
You don't just say that! [ He doesn't even bother to specify what because it honestly every word Cain said. ] Especially to someone you just met! And for doing things you've never done --- aghhh, this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong....! [ He's pretty much spouting that line like a machine gun even as Cain's hand starts to wander all over him. It's when he feels that hand against his cock, through his now very tight pants, that he lets out a totally unsexy squeak and grabs for Cain's wrist again. ]
Wait wait! Just...tell me what you want me to do. [ It won't clear Doppo's conscience completely, but to do some specific request would be easier on it.
That and...what Doppo "wants" is a very cold shower and a train ride home from this madness. ]
no subject
Please! Please Doppo, don't leave me like this. I like you, I really do. You're so very kind please do anything, I....
[He was going to try and guide Doppo's hands down to the top of his very tight pants.]
It's really hurting, it's okay....
no subject
I'm not going to leave you. [ That, he can be firm about. If leaving is the smarter thing to do, well, consider him stupid for not wanting to leave a guy in what might be a permanent state of blue balls. The red flush on his face is unmistakable as his hand is guided to the bulge between Cain's legs. And to Doppo's surprise, and probably to Cain's delight, the zipper becomes undone and he's able to reach in to touch his cock. He palms at it a little, with some hesitance, looking at Cain to gauge his reaction. He fully intends to just jerk him off and hopes that's enough.
He'll deal with his own hard-on later. ]
no subject
[Doppo would immediately know he was doing what the wizard wanted, because he bucked up into the man's hand. The touch nearly made him come right then and there, but it seemed his body and the outfit that was causing this had other ideas. His erection was already perfectly hard especially now that it was free of his pants, but Cain felt like he needed more after being denied for so long. Doppo's fingers were bordering on ecstasy, but....]
Doppo...you're so good to me. You're so wonderful and perfect...
[His own hands, now free of Doppo's grip reached up to caress the older man's face, trying to lean him down so Cain could place a long, hot kiss on his lips. And yes, he was also trying to get his tongue in there.
It was sending thrills down his spine how good it felt and he just loved the man so much. He deserved a share of the pleasure, the heat that was radiating out of his skin.]
Please never stop, that feels so good. It's absolutely wonderful....
no subject
himboguy expressing his genuine gratitude towards him. Doppo sooner believes that it's all part of the clothing's influence. Despite that, the words do get to him and it does make him feel more comfortable about what they're doing. It's enough for him to worry about the guilt later rather than now. ]J-just relax. [ As if Doppo himself can ever "just" relax, especially with a boner himself right now. The jolt he got from their tongues meeting isn't helping with it either. He continues to stroke Cain's cock, firmly squeezing it where he thinks is giving him a good reaction and adjusting the speed of it where he can. Before Doppo knows it, he's the one lying on the bed with Cain above him. His hand's still stroking him slowly and he finds himself trying to press it against his own that's still confined by fabric. ]
no subject
He also found himself just as suddenly over Doppo having the vague memory of moving but it wasn't like he minded. Cain just smiled into the kiss and continued, trying to move even deeper with his tongue. Doppo tightening his hand just led him to gasping almost into his mouth. Precum was already leaking out a fair amount and as much as Cain wanted to continue, he'd been wound up for so long that his release was going to come soon and explosively.
Cain at least had to do something for Doppo in return, but he didn't really know what to do other than draw his hands down on the skin of the older man's chest, his callused fingers running over every soft curve he could find.]
I'm sorry...I don't think I will last much longer....you are so good to me.
[He freed himself from Doppo's mouth finally, descending again down to the sweet skin on his neck, licking and biting at it almost as if he were feral.]

He felt Doppo's hand moving underneath him, his own that was trailing down the man's stomach joining him where he had pulled his own cock out. Somewhere in that it felt like thier fingers mixed together as well as their erections, but Cain didn't really mind. Anything that could help Doppo feel the same way he was...
His fingers grabbed the base of Doppo's cock, running his nails gently up the length as he himself leaned fully into the other man's touch.]
It's okay...I'm so happy you can feel it too. You're so lovely like this...
[Somehow again they had moved, winding up both on thier sides. Cain vaguely recalled thinking he didn't want to crush Doppo since he didn't really have the strength to keep himself up anymore. Any of the pain and trepidation from before had vanished into pure pleasure and he channelled all of it into stroking the length of Doppo's erection. Softly, at first, then digging his fingers in ever so slightly if the man responded to his touch.]
God, Doppo, I'm about to come...I'm sorry.
[The apology was more for the mess that would probably come after because it was with one more stroke of Doppo's hand that he climaxed, his entire body feeling like it was floating at the release.]
no subject
The moment his body can finally afford to relax, he turns his head to face the blank wall. If Cain doesn't go back to normal, he wouldn't know what else to do. On the other hand, if and once Cain does go back to normal, he wouldn't know what to do either. ]
no subject
Cain quickly fell asleep, murmuring something unintelligible to Doppo as he tried to draw closer to cuddle. The good thing about this hug was that Cain really didn't have the strength at the moment to hold the older man like before, so the grip was quite easy to break.
Despite the stressful situation, Cain rested quite well, not responding to attempts to wake him until much later, when he finally opened his eyes again. What exactly had happened? He remembered the outfit getting stuck on him, but after that everything quickly became blurry. He did at least remember the overwhelming need and attraction to Doppo though, and that made him worry.]
Hnn....Doppo? Are you okay?
no subject
He's keeping a grip at the sleeves that are clearly a bit oversized for him, absently making the assessment that if he were to scream into the fabric, it may just be muffled enough to not disturb his neighbors. He doesn't do that though and instead just approaches Cain close enough to maintain what he thinks is a respectable distance. ]
I should be asking you that. [ He eyes the outfit again with a frown, noting that Cain's actual clothing aren't anywhere to be seen. When he looks back to him, it's out of concern. Yeah, fuck that stupid scavenger hunt. ] ...do you remember anything?
no subject
Kinda? I remember having the outfit on and then feeling well, like you know...after that it kind of becomes blurry. We....
[Well, it would explain why Doppo was so nervous, and why he was feeling the way he did.]
I=I'm sorry. I forced myself on you, didn't I? Please forgive me for the horrible way I was acting to you.
no subject
The shower's that way, if you want to use it.
no subject
Doppo...whatever happened, it wasn't your fault. You didn't hurt me in any way. Really, it's me who should be apologizing for not letting you go when you're still very uncomfortable...I don't know my own strength sometimes.
[At least he thinks that's what this is about. He wasn't going to reach out and touch the man though, that's what got them into this. But Doppo had mentioned a shower?]
O-oh, you have showers here? I'll admit, that sounds kind of exciting. I never really got to use one before...
[He should probably gingerly get out of bed and head over there, even if he was still completely naked. Sorry Doppo, he was used to that....]
no subject
It helps to know that Cain doesn't blame him, but Cain wasn't in control. Doppo was, and even he couldn't hold himself back...so yeah, he still feels like he's the worst. ]
...agh, I'm no different from those sleazy guys that wouldn't leave women alone. [ Doppo often had to play the sober man
despite having to drink himselfduring those company outings, apologizing to whoever his inebriated managers may be getting too friendly with. It was something he would vent at his plants before he completely conks out for the evening. No plants to vent at here. Maybe he should get some...after he berates himself a little more in the form of screaming into his pillow. ]no subject
He put the clothes on that the man so graciously provided-(he hoped his uniform wasn't gone, it was something that also kept him connected with Arthur and the Central knights and he didn't want to lose it)- he walked back out to the room.]
Hey, thanks for the clothes, Doppo....are you alright? You feeling okay?
[He knew the man was distessed, though it wasn't exactly something he could understand. There was nothing in his mind that Doppo had done wrong. He didn't remember much at all, but he remembered that he liked and trusted the man.]
Are you sure I didn't hurt you??
no subject
Doppo pushes the pillow aside, cheeks red from the screaming, looking at Cain with a look so confused that he's starting to doubt himself if the last half hour even happened. ]
Of course you didn't. [ Because in Doppo's eyes, he's the perp here. It's not unlike dealing with a drunk person in his mind. He's supposed to be responsible as the "sober" one in this kind of situation. ] It was my fault for letting this happen, especially since I was aware of what I was doing. It was my fault that I thought it fe-------- [ He clamps his mouth before remembering that the pillow is the better option and covers his face with it again. ]
no subject
Wait, that's what got you upset? I mean, it's true I don't really remember anything that happened, but I'm confident in my own strength. Believe me, if I didn't want you to do something, I could've easily thrown you through a wall.
[He tried smiling gently back at the older man, peeling the pillow away from his face with small tugs.]
I liked doing that stuff with you. My only regret is that I couldn't ask you properly.
[There was time for Doppo to realize Cain's absolute shit standards when it came to partners later, because right now he had very good taste.]
no subject
When the pillow is lowered, it reveals the predictably guilt ridden salaryman who just wants to sleep forever now. But it does help that Cain doesn't seem damaged by this...or not even appearing remotely repulsed. That's weird to Doppo. Why wouldn't he be? ]
I just...didn't want to take advantage of you. People who do that to others who can't control themselves are scumbags. They're the worst.
no subject
You're not listening to me, are you? I told you already that I was more than happy to let you do those things to me. It's not taking advantage of me if I like it.
[Cain also may have had a different view on the whole situation than Doppo, but he wasn't going to let that stop him.]
Like I said, I think I have enough strength to at least reject someone. And Doppo, you are a kind and gentle person, so you would listen. But that's not what happened. And that means that's probably not what I wanted to happen. What if I kissed you again right now? Would you reject me?
no subject
Excuse him for still questioning things. It's not so much that he refuses to listen to Cain or doesn't believe him so much as it's his own negative self-image. ] I'd ask if you had hit your head in the shower...
no subject
Still, Cain laughed at the accusation.]
I'll admit that the floor did seem slippery, but I didn't slip and fall. I'm just telling you the truth. To be honest, I'm not really good at lying, nor am I fond of it either. And if it helps me make up the fact that you had to take care of me when I should have been the one to protect you, then allow me to continue saying it.
You're a wonderful man, Doppo. Your eyes are pretty, and I bet your smile would be too, if you'd ever grace me with one.
