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:

Everything is fine.

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.

Pumpkin spice flavored condoms
Elvira's lacy black lingerie
Phallic ghost lollipop
Vampire Tongue Dildo
Werewolf Finger Mastubator
Tail Butt Plugs (bunny, dog, cat, horse, or even a demon tail… among others!)
Sexy [mundane object] Costume
Apple Cider scented and flavored warming lubricant
Skull ball gag
Fuzzy monster cuffs
Spooky-themed Nipple Tassels
Demonic horsewhip
Tombstone with a glory hole
Pornographic pumpkin carvings
Witch’s Love Potion: drinking the brew will find you extremely sensitive and any touch will immediately arouse you and you’ll need to work yourself up to calm your body down.

… 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!

zunge for this prompt! ]

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.

❱❱ Arrival

He arrived as many might: coughing up seawater and damning the world for spinning so fast when he was trying to gather his bearings. His clothes were undoubtedly ruined after being so waterlogged, and he made quick work of dropping his silk lined vest with a huff, leaving a button up shirt for modesty (as modest as one could be with it sticking to his chest as it was), and a pair of slacks. Shoes and socks removed and held daintily in his hand while the other slicked back the damp dark locks atop his head.

"Well. Not my most elegant entrance, but I have had worse." He assured himself with a deep inhale through his nose - one that prompted another mild fit of coughs. God damn salt water. "This is fine. All of this is... fine. Can I help you with something?" Said to the robot tottering over to him, insistently tugging on his sleeve to try and guide him down the beach. "Where are you - Oh! Well, aren't you insistent. Not even going to take me out to dinner first?" He followed though, if only to get a better scope of where he was. Perfectly capable of escaping if he wanted - but playing the damsel wasn't too difficult a task. It might even help him; assuming he found anyone to play pretend at.

❱❱ Spooky Scavenger Hunt

A tall (like. 6'4" tall), lanky man is suddenly thrust in your direction. He is your partner now, and he looks rightfully confused as he scanned over the list on his bracelet.

"My, what is that?" Asked with a curious raise of his brow, pointing to the vampire tongue dildo in question. "Hm. Why do I feel as if I have seen that somewhere?" Pointedly, he ran his tongue along a sharpened canine, an amused little laugh burbling from his lips. "I really cannot place it. Ah well - I am sure it will come to me. At any rate - are we ready to search?" He smiled down at his partner, outwardly pleased while inwardly his mind raced. This was silly - but, again, it was a good excuse to poke around without rousing suspicion. And he would always take an opportunity like that if it presented itself.

❱❱ Wildcard

you know what wildcards are by now right? winemom, LiLi#0844. hmu xoxo love you.

01. Arrival - Safe travels, don't die

[ Byleth never really enjoyed being wet when he didn't intend to be. It wasn't a particularly egregious feeling, just uncomfortable. When he wakes wet and sandy, it's enough to earn a very faint frown. What follows feels like a dream, and he's almost convinced it is, if not for the whole being very physically uncomfortable. At the very least he does get somewhat dry with the given towels.

Honestly, he does absorb most of the information he's given, but it all feels so distant. He's not quite convinced this is real yet, wandering away from the robots in a daze. It's tiring. Looking out over the ocean, there's the absurd thought that he wishes he had his fishing rod. Simply shaking his head at himself. Priorities. One minute he was buried in a mountain of paperwork, the next he's washing up on some strange island with strange golems and some weird sexual undertone.

It's all he can do to just... sit down for a few minutes in the sand, his soggy clothes still clinging to his body, gradually drying out. ]

Well. Shit.

02. Spa - I would be overstating, if I said I knew you well

[ At the very least when he does relent and allows himself to be coaxed to the spa, the promise of getting clean and some dry clothes. He does get clean, but dry clothes are nowhere to be found. Of course. His own are missing now, purportedly being laundered, but wherever that happens, nobody seems to be able to show him. It's all incredibly dubious, and he's almost certain it's been done on purpose, given the nature of this place. It's fine. This is fine.

Slowly, he takes a breath in, tying the small towel he's been given around his waist and sets out to try to find someone else. A non-golem inhabitant preferably. The surreal situation is finally settling, and he decides it's time to actually do something instead of waiting for the big joke to be revealed or to wake up.

Just slightly very naked. ]

03. Film contest (kind of) - A good man is easy to kill

[ He's not here to participate in whatever this confusing event is, but he did see pie. Free pie. It smells good, and it reminds him of home. It's hard not to be drawn to it. Is it morally questionable to pretend like he belongs here to get free pie? Yes. Is it probably rude to eat an abnormal amount of it? Absolutely.

Is he going to do it anyway? Without question. ]

I. Arrival
[ Byleth has seen beaches before. The Rhodos Coast is particularly lovely, and the shores near Derdriu have many scenic stretches. None of them were pink. All of them had been visited intentionally, whether by land or by sea, and not... whatever happened to bring her here.

She takes it in stride, of course--being thrust into odd and uncomfortable situations is par for the course at this point in her life. The robots are an unpleasant surprise, given her experiences with automatons who would have dispatched her without hesitation. These seem far more personable, even if what they tell her is hard to believe. At least she isn't being attacked straight away.

Removing her cape, she begins her trek inland, hoping to find some less mechanical inhabitant of this island. ]

II. Spa
[ You'd think that being the queen of a unified Fodlan would mean at least being offered a towel that was large enough to cover all of the important bits when stranded on some strange alien world, but that has proven not to be the case. It's... technically large enough, in theory, but that's a different story in practice.

With a shrug, she uses the towel to dry her hair instead. If this island is as debauched as she's being led to believe, then nobody here should be too shocked by anything she has to offer, right? ]

III. Spooky Scavenger Hunt
[ Well, this should be a breeze, shouldn't it? As if Byleth hadn't spent a substantial amount of her time both as a teacher and a general finding lost items and returning them to their owners. Even so, some of the things she's been asked to find feel oddly specific. ]

A dragon dildo... All right. [ A bit disrespectful, but easy enough to figure out. ] Sexy teacher costume? [ That one just seems rude. ] Whip. Medieval-themed bondage gear?

[ Goodness. Maybe she should ask someone to help her find some of these things. ]

IV. Movie Madness
[ If the list of scavenger hunt items she'd been asked to find had felt somewhat tailor-fit to her, the prompts she'd been given to make this "movie" seems even more so. "Dragon lady"? She scoffs to herself as she reads over the sheet. What kind of dialog is this? What do blindfolds have to do with anything?

Of course, the only sign of consternation on Byleth's face is the slight furrowing of her brows. Maybe someone else here will know what to do with this. ]

V. Wildcard
[ You know what to do. HMU if you have ideas for any of the other prompts or would like something completely different. ]

[ ARRIVAL — CLOSED to Kakyoin and Adrian ]

[All things considered, Jotaro probably wouldn't have minded the experience of washing up on a beautiful scenic (incorrectly-hued) beach in the apparent middle of the tropics somewhere, but for the fact that he's had the misfortune of landing face-down.

It's kind of a comical sight, maybe — six and a half feet of giant beefcake sprawled half in and half out of the surf, his black school uniform even darker with how it's soaked through, a black hole of a silhouette against the pastels and shimmer of the environment. There's water clinging to the inside of his nose, which isn't strictly something he objects to, when he's invited it upon himself, and he hasn't.

Spluttering, he pushes himself up onto his elbows, picks his head out of the sand, and looks around —

And okay. This is definitely not where he just was a minute ago. Probably. As best he can remember, anyway.]

Fuck.

[Rolling over onto his back, he reaches for Star Platinum — and discovers, with some relief, that his Stand answers instantly, shimmering into being next to him (and upright). Fine, then. So much the better; it'll be easier to look around with Star's eyes than it would be with his own, anyway.

Absently, aloud, to the world in general, he remarks: ]

Yare yare. Okay, whose fault is it this time? 'Cause I'm pretty sure it's not mine.

[ AROUND TOWN — OPEN ]

[All right, so evidently things work a little differently in this magic-energy-fuck-city than the one Jotaro is used to, but that's fine. Maybe it's a little bit of a shame that he can't just become a billionaire practically overnight courtesy of a little creativity and some inappropriate use of boyfriends, but he had a job in his old circumstances, too. It's not so different here. It's good for him, probably.

Of course, the problem is finding a job, and that means wandering around the city looking. Unfortunately.

As he gets the lay of the land, he finds himself mentally marking off points of interest and necessities — food there, cigarettes there, lube there NOT THAT HE'S EVER GOING TO BE CAUGHT DEAD BUYING ANY but it's good to have it in the back of one's mind anyway. Fresh fruit over there. Ice cream there. Maybe eventually he'll find a bathhouse that's hiring; wouldn't that be something.

Feel free to encounter him anywhere around town! He's wandering, and also very large.]

[ NETWORK — un: nevercrywolf ]

so has anybody here turned into a dragon before
you don't have to elaborate if you don't want to
i'm just wondering

i can't believe i'm saying this but i think i'm actually gonna miss it kind of
it was pretty cool
so was turning into a wolf

i mean the tail was stupid but the rest of it was all right

i. arrival

( Nose burning, lungs aching - Izuku coughs harshly as he pushes himself up from where he's face first in the sand. He balances awkwardly on one arm as the other reaches up, jerking back the hood of his costume with a desperate gasp for air.

There's another cough, and he tips forward, balancing on his forearms as he forces himself to try and take a few, deep breathes. Breathe, just breathe, he tells himself over and over, squeezing his eyes shut as tears prick at the corner of his eyes. It doesn't take more than a moment for him to recover enough to sit back on his knees, tugging his gloves off to try and shake some of the water out of them.

His gaze sweeps the beach, taking in the details. And he finds himself murmuring rapidly to himself in thought as he rings out the gloves in his hands. )

This is definitely a beach. A beach with pink sand. But why is the sand pink? Maybe it's some kind of mineral or the result of a coral reef nearby? It's hard to say since I'm not entirely sure where this beach is.

( Without thinking and still muttering to himself, Izuku stands, making a trek away from the waves behind him. The break in his mumblings come when he's greeted by the robots, taking the towel with a hasty bow, and frantically dismissing the attempts to be ushered somewhere else. )

N-no thank you, I think I'll just walk to the um- Somewhere nearby?

ii. scavenger hunt

( This is a lot to take in, and Izuku is still trying to make sense of it all. That much is evident by the few pieces of paper he's already found to scribble down his thoughts as he learns something new. But for the moment, his notes are mostly forgotten in favor of the list he'd been given.

His gaze only catches a few words he's seen, glancing up to look at his partner with a reassuring smile. )

If we look for similar items at once, we might be able to find them more quickly. I think- ( A glance down at the list! ) Pumpkin spice flavored co-... ( Oh. Oh..

Color floods to his cheeks, and he struggles to find words. It's almost comical the way his mouth opens and closes, color darkening further on his face before he finally manages- ) ...c-condoms and apple cider lubricant....

( He can't bring himself to look at his partner, and he might be trembling just a little bit. What kind of scavenger hunt is this...!! )

iii. wild card

( feel free to leave him a prompt or we can work out something together! )

ooc: [18+ please, aging up is fine! This character comes from a really broad canon with a lot of different adaptations, and I'm just kinda using all of it because Why Not, Nobody Cares. Feel free to ask me for preferences or canon information.]

1. Arrival, but without the giant alien ink monsters

[At first, getting washed up on a lovely pink beach seemed kinda like a holiday. It wouldn't be the first time Kazuki turned up somewhere weird. When he wound up on that magic music festival island came to mind. He could adapt, surely! He'd done it before! He just had to figure out how things worked here.]

[The comm bracelet, and the A5...]

[I think I can explain his reaction pretty easily.]

[Remember middle school? Remember the computer lab? You're there, doing homework. There are a couple of people around, but not a lot. The librarian is behind the desk. You open the internet browser. Immediately, pop ups begin springing into existence. They are covered in pornographic advertisements.]

[You panic. You start to try to click out of them, but your sweaty pre-teen fingers slip. You accidentally open a few of them. The websites they led to are even more salacious than the pop ups. There are poorly-rendered gifs of airbrushed models in positions unfeasible for anyone other than an Olympic gymnast. Suddenly, moaning sounds are coming from the speakers. You have no idea what window they're coming from.]

[The librarian is looking in your direction and standing up to approach. The kid two computers down from you is leaning back so they can see your screen. Clicking anything just makes things worse. You can't find the power button on the tower. In desperation, you knock the monitor down on its face.]

[The librarian is getting closer. You spring out of your seat to flee, but trip over your own chair. Everyone in the lab is looking at you now. Somehow, the principal is there. The walls are closing in. Everything is getting dark. You shout prayers for an uncaring god into the void. You wish for death.]

[That about sums it up. Except it never ends, because the computer is attached to you.]

[Kazuki tries, very, very hard to pry the device off of his wrist, but Because I Say So, he is sadly unable. He probably overlooks some blatantly obvious feature that would remove it easily. It's a blessing in disguise. If he were to pitch it into the ocean and flee, without the translation feature, he would get even more lost than he is already, and even more surrounded with sexual material.]

[He spends his first few hours of existence in Erku tripping over bumps, running into doorframes, and keeping his eyes on his feet in a wildly desperate attempt to banish all sexual thoughts from his mind. Inappropriate! Scandalous! Absolutely irredeemable!]

[Unfortunately, he is eventually going to run out of the few resources he has at his disposal, which means that he's going to end up at the mercy of either Erku itself, or someone else...]

2. Your government mandated love potion shenanigans

[Basically the same as above, but Kazuki's probably been here for a couple of days now. He finds the Witch's Potion completely by chance, without knowing about the scavenger hunt at all. And since most of the food and drink he's come across has been dubiously edible, he's grateful for a drink that doesn't taste like water from a half-drained hose that's been left in the hot sun.]

[The idiot. The moron. The absolute buffoon. He should have clued in when the robot tending the stall where they were being sold was happy to give him a free sample for once.]

[His reaction to it is predictable. As soon as he starts understanding what's going on, he tries desperately to flee. It's a pointless struggle. He still doesn't really know where he is, and doesn't know where he could possibly hide. The feeling of his clothes on his skin becomes unbearable. Since when were his pants so tight? The regret of buying skinny jeans is almost more powerful than the uncontrollable arousal.]

3. "Coerced into amateur pornography" is a sentence I never expected to speak in my life!

[Just as foolishly as before, Kazuki tries to hide out in the library, thinking that an institution of learning would be a safe zone. Educators were all about propriety and appropriate boundaries, right?]

[Absolutely wrong!]

[If he knew anything about the Dewey Decimal System, he would have turned on his heel and ran, because they had an entire floor dedicated to code 306.7]

[How he ended up where he is now was nothing more than pure harassment. To be fair, he isn't hard to harass, because he is a gud boye that has trouble outright refusing anybody. The weird, oppressive, horny air in this jamjar is getting to his head a little too. It was all slowly starting to permanently wear on him.]

[Unfettered denial of reality was the only thing that keeps his mental faculties operational enough to process language as he's introduced to the partner that's been assigned to him.]

4. Wildcard / Tenebrae?

[Feel free to suggest something, or if you want to do something in the simulation! I wouldn't mind some fun xenophilia with the werewolf transformation!

01 - Arrival

Marianne sat on the beach. Stunned. Her blue hair was wet, loose and lashed to her cheeks from where she had washed up from the water, her fingers and toes tingling and confused as she tried to stumble to her feet. The approach of the robots made her rise faster, bringing the starting of Aura to her fingers in self-defence as she stumbled back from them.

"Please do not come closer." She announced, looking around for the rest of the Golden Deer and backing up further away from the robot, trying not to trip over her soaked skirts.

02 - Scavenger Hunt

Once everything had been adequately explained to Marianne that, yes, she was safe. And yes this wasn't a dream. And yes that hadn't really been the face of the Goddess before she had awoken but the Augur, and once she had chance to apologise sincerely to the robots that she felt she may have accidentally offended when she first arrived, she was ready to commit herself on hundred percent to the scavenger hunt.

"I think the horse whip might be in the stables." She quietly suggested to her partner. "Do you know where we might be able to find stables here?"

Some of the items on the list were a mystery to her, being in possession of a relatively innocent mind.

[OOC: Marianne is post-timeskip and OTA.]

| a5, permissions

i. spooky scavenger hunt

[Akira scrolls through the list provided, a low growling noise emanating from the back of his throat. He participates enough, they didn't need to accost him in the hallway the minute he stepped out of his apartment. Yet, despite that internal complaining, here he is, having done what the robots wanted and followed them with little protest to his selected partner for this... hunt. Twenty-four hours seems a long time to collect these items; they shouldn't be hard to find at all. He suspects the extra time allotment is for trying them all out and taking appropriate photographs. Nh. They may as well start somewhere, and he knows where to find one of them right away.]

I have... a tail plug... rabbit.

[He'd reluctantly taken part in a porn workshop at the new 'community college', and he may have taken a prop home.]

ii. two moon film festival

a) film 1
(prompt)

[He plays with the handcuffs, running his finger over the chain. It's a rather tame prop, at least for Akira, and very self-explanatory. He has questions about the rest of this film assignment, however. He hasn't seen that many movies and he's at a loss where to even start because:]

What's avant-garde?

[He pronounces the 'e'.]

b) film 2 - closed to nao
(prompt)

[Akira squirms internally at the prop choice. He hadn't worn anything under his dress when he'd gone to Nao's that day months ago, and those comments Nao had made about buying him silk underwear echo in the back of his mind. Nao likes this sort of thing, he tells himself, and he wants to look... enticing. Or... no. Because Nao... It's not like that with Nao. It could be... No. He could act like it is, for this... Akira can't keep one train of thought in his head long enough, so he abandons them all. Whatever. He will deal with potential friendship complications later. He digs through a small box of lingerie items; silks, lace, mesh, leather, looking for something that might be cute, but also could be sexy. His skin flushes, and when he holds up two preliminary choices, he can't look Nao in the eyes.]

This... or this? Or... something else?

[Yes, that is a be-ribboned cape. Partially chosen to get a laugh from Nao.]

iii. wildcard
anything goes! o/

Film Festival ( Prompt )

[ Besides the uh, pornographic element, this is a pretty standard love story between those of differing classes. The "screenplay", about a young maid who gains the attention of a kinder nobleman at a party hosted by her harsh master. The "scene" to be shot is the moment the nobleman professes his love to the maid and the obvious happens. Yadda yadda, they fuck and run away and be happy, but not after also fucking the master over or something.

Doppo doesn't see himself as the harsh master. Nor does he want to be the maid or even the nobleman. He'd very much rather not be here at all or at most, be a background character.

Of course, he somehow ends up being the one in the typical maid costume, with a shorter skirt and . The wig is so unnecessary...and giving him flashbacks of a time that is somehow less embarrassing than this one. ]

I...I don't know if I can pull this off. [ He shakes his head, mad at himself for letting his meek demeanor get the best of him and ending up dressed like this...! ~~It's his own fault...~~ ] What am I sayingI don't want to pull this off! Can't we switch places at least? Why do I have to be the maid?

Scavenger Hunt

...Werewolf...finger...mastu - [ Doppo shudders, frowning. ] Three words that I never want to hear put together...

[ And he just barely started reading off this list of theirs. He figures maybe there might be a penalty of sorts if they choose not to participate. Given how much more familiar he is with how this place works, he's not risking it. Here's hoping his partner is willing. ]

Um, I'm Doppo Kannonzaka. Pleased to meet you... I guess.

( I'm good with doing an "arrival" prompt too. Feel free to throw me any prompt or pm me if you wanna plan something out! )

Arrival

Well this was something. Cain didn't recall being on the back end of a magic spell or even fighting a Calamity, but he was washed up on a strange pink beach. There was sand in his mouth and his hair, and he spent what felt like minutes just to make himself semi decent. The clothes were all wet and waterlogged but the idea of washing up on a strange beach quickly was thrown out the window when he realized his sword was missing.

This probably meant the closest person he heard was going to get a waterlogged wizard in a distinctly military uniform running up to them, desperation in his mismatched eyes. "Hello-I'm sorry, have you seen a sword around here? It's gone missing and it's important-"

He wasn't directly looking at them, but he could tell someone was there.

Film Festival

Cain had no idea what a movie is, though he was listening with rapt attention to an extremely friendly robot telling him exactly what that entailed. This technology sounded almost like magic, something the Western Kingdom came up with but the added bonus of not being run off of mana stones. Rather something known as electricity was involved.

He of course imbibed on the provided punch and pie, both being very delicious and who was he to turn down a free drink? Sure, he did seem to be getting drunk a lot faster than he normally would but maybe that was just normal.

Okay maybe he had a little too much. The atmosphere of this place maybe was getting to him. Some of it did make him a bit uncomfortable, but everyone had been friendly and understanding of him so far, so he didn't want to give into doubt.

"Excuse me...this is delicious. Have you had some?" Here he was, a handsome wizard holding out a glass to the person he just bumped into. "Where I'm from, there's always time to have a good festival! I've never heard of movies before, but it seems like an excellent idea!"

Wildcard
[ooc: if you can think of anything else please feel free! you can also find me at xardogn on plurk if you want to say hi.

Edit: somehow i completely forgot that Cain has a curse/injury on him where he can't see people until he touches them. I tried to edit the top levels to match!!]

II. Spooky Scavenger Hunt

[The robots were persistent today, wanting him to visit one of their new booths. Exxis had come to accept their earnest efforts in whatever holiday they might be pushing on them. When informed of the reward of credits, he did pay more attention. Exxis may not engage in regular Augur acts to check off his squares, but he did take whatever opportunity he could to collect the local currency.

And so he here was, being informed of the rules of the Scavenger Hunt and that his partner would be there shortly. If it went well, he may even agree to take part in this more than once--if the offer of credits remained. His bracelet pings with a message and list and just as he looks it over, he's overcome with both embarrassment and complete lack of surprise.]

We must find all ten of these? [The robots seem almost proud of this activity. They do think they've outdone themselves...or something.]

III. Two Moon Film Festival
[And then, as if the robots realize his guard is down just enough, he's also been entered into the film making contest.

Considering his eye's ability to record is ultra-life definition and his skill with assimilating roles to mimic...perhaps this one shouldn't be as surprising. He looks over the assignment he had been given.]

Ah..."Musical," "Gentleman thief," "aphrodisiac," and the phrase "I love it when you dress up for me."

[It does seem like something that could be combined to make a reasonable amateur film...but that didn't make the idea of a "musical" any less terrifying.]

Ah...did you receive something different?

[Hopefully?]

II. Spooky Scavenger Hunt
[A distraction might be exactly what he needs. Quatre has been acting so far as if nothing has changed and Trowa has been gone for days, that he can't even feel his presence anywhere on the Island.

But dwelling on it accomplished nothing, so Quatre is going to do what he does best. Be angry and affronted at the injustice of the universe, hold all of that anger inside of him and act as if it's not there, and throw himself into something else. So when the robots are trying to "coax" him to take part in their scavenger hunt, Quatre doesn't put up a fight, casually following along to get to the booth.

He'll accept any partner he's given with a smile, before looking over the list they are given.]

Oh my. Finding that first one is going to be...interesting. What does your clue say?

III. Two Moon Film Festival
[Quatre was pretty amused by the challenge of the film festival. A comedy about vampires involving cat ears and the phrase "I can't wait to put bruises all over that pretty skin"? It was pure melodrama and cheesiness.

It would sound violent if it was also so completely ridiculous.]

Ah, as we'll be the ones performing, I don't mind you picking which role you prefer first. The vampire, the thrall, or the hunter trying to kill the vampire before the thrall swears the oath to the vampire?

Scavenger Hunt| OTA

I don't really need awards since I'm pretty comfortable where I am. [ Nao's got a small apartment meant for no more than two people to live there and he isn't looking to change that if he can help it. ] But! I'll help you look for these things if it makes your life here easier, yeah? [ Though it sounds like a question, it's not really a question. Nao will help out his partner regardless. ]

Now let's see... Figures it's all sex related... Hm. Wonder what's a "demonic" horsewhip...and I hope the skull gag isn't made of an actual skull...

Film | closed to Noiz ( prompt )

Seriously, I can't believe we're paired up again. I guess we're just that popular~ [ Nao's slipping into his uniform which, if it weren't for the badge and handcuffs, makes him appear more like a friendly mailman than someone that works in law enforcement. Maybe he's a mailman spy disguised as a cop...wait, why is he actually trying to figure this out!? ]

So...am I the doppelganger? I guess I can pull off deadpan deliveries if I try. [ Oh god, he's thinking about the last time again as he clutches his stomach to keep the laughter down. ] ...deadpan...pizza delivery...pffbbtbtt.

( or throw me any prompt/ideas you got! I'm very likely to be down )
