TDM #4
Welcome! Everything is fine.
Uploading. . . Complete!
The Lobby.
- When you open your eyes, there is quite a lot of beige to take in. The unassuming walls of the room you've found yourself in are barren save for a single motivational poster directly in your line of sight. An illuminated sign above an open door on the far wall reads 'lobby exit.'
"Welcome," chimes a polite, synthesized voice. "I'm happy you're here." A moment later comes the clarity of the situation: you have died and so has the world you came from. "This is Amani, your new reality," continues The Peacekeeper. "Everything will be fine."
At least you aren't the only one here, you'll soon find out, as others who are just as confused and concerned as you are mingling on the main hub's first floor. Hopefully, you find a familiar face among the crowd. If not, that's all right. You'll get to know quite a few people very well soon enough.
- If you're one of the unlucky few whose death required a bit more intensive re-coding to maintain stability in the simulation, you'll instead awaken on a bed in the infirmary. Everything is strikingly white save for the occasional string of vines with lavender growing in bursts to help keep people calm. Whether or not it works seems to be on a case-by-case basis.
While there is no active medical staff, the voice of The Peacekeeper is there to explain the situation in a more delicate manner to these individuals. It's already stressful enough having to have gone through such a violent death, after all!
If characters want more questions answered, they'll need to speak to The Peacekeeper directly. But first, it will encourage socialization in the main hub and hopefully, you'll find someone you recognize to make taking things in a little easier.

WELCOME
Throughout the main hub where everyone congregates, a light chiming echoes through the first floor. "Hello, everyone," comes the synthetic voice from when you first arrived. "Please, watch your step since there's quite a few puddles around. If you'd like, there is cake, some refreshments, and some eggs for you in these trying times. If they feel warmer than usual, that's because they're going to hatch soon!"
While the Peacekeeper doesn't elaborate, as usual, simulation inhabitants are free to notice the eggs that either they gathered or are still littering the simulation are now warm to the touch, give off a faint glow, and may even move subtly now and again if watched.
Dark, ominous clouds begin to gather over every piece of sky in the simulation and before long blot out the sun. Sheets of rain begin to pour down almost without warning. Hopefully, you've managed to fix those leaks in your house! Or maybe you're finding new ones...
Lightning splits the sky with a dramatic crackle and thunder booms not long after it. The wind howls and the worst of the storm won't relent for a few hours at the least. Even after, the rain will linger for days on and off to varying degrees of severity.
While the weather has taken a turn for the gloomy, that doesn't mean that simulation inhabitants have to be! In fact, it may feel somewhat refreshing as if the rain is washing away any negativity lingering after The Overseer's masquerade. Whether by her design or not, she - nor The Peacekeeper - will say but it does seem that she wants to keep relations as peaceful between the simulation inhabitants and creators as she can.
Of course, your buckets might not just be catching water. With the rising water levels, the fish that inhabit the simulation's waters are just as confused as anyone else. Even more confusing is the glitch causing them to transform once they find themselves on solid (mostly) ground.
Thankfully, they don't change into anything harmful. Well, maybe to your teeth since an abundance of sweet treats is bound to cause a cavity or two... Not to mention the other odd effects that food here is known to have.
If the party and its cake don't appeal to you, that's perfectly fine. This is the perfect time to configure your Digitized Technical Friend or your DTF status. A DTF is similar to a dæmon from His Dark Materials in that it is connected to and a reflection of a character's soul. These DTFs take shape accordingly and are projections similar to the NPCs. Think of them as your own personal Clippy except less annoying. Hopefully.
Once that's set-up, there are other locations of the main hub to investigate! You can still find an (off-key) instrument to play in the music lounge or check out the (algae-ridden) pool.
You can even visit The Peacekeeper themselves on the second floor. They're always happy to have visitors! They're also conveniently where you might place a complaint about that status of the main hub and its amenities.

APRIL SHOWERS
Granted, there are bigger things to worry about such as the storm that's rolling in.Dark, ominous clouds begin to gather over every piece of sky in the simulation and before long blot out the sun. Sheets of rain begin to pour down almost without warning. Hopefully, you've managed to fix those leaks in your house! Or maybe you're finding new ones...
Lightning splits the sky with a dramatic crackle and thunder booms not long after it. The wind howls and the worst of the storm won't relent for a few hours at the least. Even after, the rain will linger for days on and off to varying degrees of severity.

Whether by her design or not, she - nor The Peacekeeper - will say but it does seem that she wants to keep relations as peaceful between the simulation inhabitants and creators as she can.
ONE FISH, TWO FISH...
The constant rain brings water levels of the rivers and eddies up at an alarming rate. Flooding is inevitable and, hopefully, the place you've claimed as your own isn't in the way. If it is, you might want to get the buckets ready or consider a relocation!Of course, your buckets might not just be catching water. With the rising water levels, the fish that inhabit the simulation's waters are just as confused as anyone else. Even more confusing is the glitch causing them to transform once they find themselves on solid (mostly) ground.
Thankfully, they don't change into anything harmful. Well, maybe to your teeth since an abundance of sweet treats is bound to cause a cavity or two... Not to mention the other odd effects that food here is known to have.
- ★ Taiyaki » Despite having just jumped out of the chilly waters, these tasty treats will be warm to the touch and generate steam. After biting into one, you'll radiate warmth no matter what for a brief period of time. Being a walking furnace sure is nice with this damp, cold atmosphere... Maybe you'll find a friend or two to huddle up with and keep warm.
★ Swedish Fish » Eating one of these stretchy, gummy candies will increase your flexibility. Literally and metaphorically! It might be easier to be convinced to do something you wouldn't have before and now you can bend just the right way to make it extra fun.
★ Hard Fish Candy » These tart candies will render someone unable to speak until it completely dissolves. This can take a while, too, since they seem to be persistantly stuck to the roof of your mouth! Yet, don't underestimate the power of body language to speak your mind.
★ Chocolate Sardines » Eating one of these rich bite-sized treats will make you sweeter. No, really! Candy kisses isn't just an expression after eating these fish. You taste delicious. Maybe too delicious... Be careful! Once someone gets a taste of you, they might not want to stop anytime soon.
WHAT'S YOUR DTF STATUS?
If the party and its cake don't appeal to you, that's perfectly fine. This is the perfect time to configure your Digitized Technical Friend or your DTF status. A DTF is similar to a dæmon from His Dark Materials in that it is connected to and a reflection of a character's soul. These DTFs take shape accordingly and are projections similar to the NPCs. Think of them as your own personal Clippy except less annoying. Hopefully.

You can even visit The Peacekeeper themselves on the second floor. They're always happy to have visitors! They're also conveniently where you might place a complaint about that status of the main hub and its amenities.
RAINING CATS AND DOGS
While the fishy foods are odd enough as is, another glitch appears to be occurring throughout the simulation but this time originates not from the rain but The Peacekeeper's humble musings. "Did you know," speaks the resident AI, "that there is an expression called 'raining cats and dogs'? I think that's such a curious saying! It made me wonder what it might actually look like..."
Following the strange, unexpected 'announcement,' inhabitants may begin to notice large globs of water falling periodically from the sky now amidst the regular rain. When they hit the ground with a large splash, nothing is there... at first. The water will burst apart only to reassemble into a canine or feline friend. Well, it's shaped like a dog or a cat.
Due to the sudden nature of their spawning though, some things aren't quite right. Perhaps that cat has only three legs instead of four; a dog may be missing an eye, an ear, or even its tail. And those are the more tame oddities! While the unique animals aren't overly abundant there are still a good number that spawn across the days of rain. Don't be surprised if a dog takes up shelter from the storm on your porch or you come home to a cat you don't own having climbed through a loose window.
While this might be exactly the addition to your home that you wanted, it doesn't change the leaky roof or broken window in your new place. Or, unfortunately, the fact that there's no extra space for a pet yet. No, unfortunately that will still need to be fixed the peaceful way. If you'd like more lighting or even cozier clothes, simulation inhabitants are reminded that 'peaceful interactions' are very important!
It might be a good idea to stick close to someone you know, for now, since even the smallest amounts of intimacy might see subtle changes occurring where they're staying. Perhaps that broken window is now fixed, the grime and dust seem a little less, or the floor doesn't creak quite as loud.
Larger changes, however, will only come after demonstrating the more powerful peaceful interactions. If you want new hardwood floors or a fresh coat of paint on the walls, you're going to have to demonstrate how well you 'get along' with others against them first.

SEEING PINK
ear the end of the week, the rain finally relents and temperatures continue to gradually increase. Those May flowers can't quite seem to wait though since several of the trees lining the edge of the forest bloom brilliant pink blossoms that a DTF will be able to identify as love blossoms. While the blooms won't last very long, they certainly are using all the time they have to take over.
The pollen is one thing. It may start out as just a tickle in your nose or stuffy head but eventually turns into something much more lovely. You're tickled pink about almost everything, it seems, and want to share that happiness with others. And who needs rose-colored glasses when almost everywhere one looks there's a string of love blossoms blooming?
These invasive flowers are in your garden, along the vines in the city, and even sprawling through the main hub! It actually seems almost impossible to avoid them. The Peacekeeper assures inhabitants that it isn't purposeful and just the natural cycle of the love blossoms.
Enjoy the mood-lifting and groin-tingling effects while they last! The love blossoms will only linger for a few days, at most, before receding back to the forest line and eventually falling dormant again until next spring.

SEXY STAMP CARD
If you're wondering about these 'peaceful interactions' that keep being mentioned or what the kinks of the month are for... Here's your answer! Upon arrival, all characters will receive a digital copy of their very own sexy stamp card.
Completing peaceful interactions (i.e. kinks) will reward characters with stamps that they can turn in for re-gains and many other things! While the example one here is the standard issued card by The Peacekeeper, players are more than welcome to customize it how they see fit. Have fun with it!NOTES

NAVIGATION
Hubert von Vestra | Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Azure Moon route womp womp) | OTA
[With a crack of lightning and a loud clap of thunder a man dressed all in black steps into the pouring streets of this strange new world.
He is... most displeased, to say the least. His pale gaze looks over the unfamiliar landscape of this unfamiliar place, his lips a firm line, teetering on the cusp of a scowl. He has bypassed most of what was going on, ignoring the cake and eggs and whatever nonsense was displayed. He hasn't the time for it.
He has one goal in mind. And that is, of course, to find Lady Edelgard.
He moves to take a step out into this world, the heavy rain pelting down upon his dark attire. It's raining a lot. And he has no place to go nor anything to change into should he become soaked through, as he most likely will be if he doesn't turn back now. Now Hubert does scowl, turning on his heel to march back into the building, pushing open the doors as dramatically as he is able, never minding the stares of people he does not know and shaking off the rain that he did manage to collect during his brief steps outside.
Mayhaps he'll find someone that can point him in the correct direction.]
B - Raining Cats and Dogs
[Hubert stands, legs spread apart, and arms outstretched forward. Without hesitating or missing a beat the dark magician fires a ruin spell at the strange puddle. And then another at a different one. Purple and black glowing light sparks at his fingertips.
His gaze flickers about for more of these misshapen beasts emerging from the pools of water.
Another ruin spell to the right.
Hubert lets out an unhappy sigh, righting himself as things appear fine, for the moment.
Peaceful interactions? Not from Hubert von Vestra, I'm afraid.]
C - Seeing Pink
[Hubert brings a handkerchief up to his nose as the pollen from these blossoms may actually be killing him. A slow undignified death... (Another death, if memory serves.) But one can hardly be blamed... these vile flowers are simply everywhere.
As he brushes them off his heavy dark coat and cowl the little yellow pollen spots linger, providing no relief. Hubert lowers the cloth for a moment to press a gloved hand to his temple. His mind feels dull, not as sharp and refined as it needs to be. There's more to these flowers than meets the eye, he suspects. They are called love flowers, after all. Some sort of... aphrodisiac, if he had to guess. Peaceful interactions, they said. What a loathsome thing that needs to be done.
He will see what he can avoid before doing the necessary physical interactions to survive here.
Hubert brings the cloth back to his mouth as not one but several sneezes overtake him. Assuming the pollen doesn't impede on that plan first.]
D - Bring your own situation
(hit me up with an idea of your own. Hubert is here and cranky.)
A
Not that he can make it that much larger. Mixing magics is an inexact science at the best of times.]
I hardly expected to see you here, of all the possible Eagles.
no subject
What does prickle him is being called one of the Eagles. As if they're still back in the school yard.]
Count Gloucester. [He greets rather stiffly before a wry, if not cruel, smile pulls at his lips.] Is that so? That's rather amusing. I can say I did expect to see you here.
[Here. In Hell. That is what this is, right? It must be. They all died. Now they're here. If it isn't the depths of some unfavorable abyss then he doesn't know what it is. Everything has a false overly friendly feeling to it. Like a curtain covering up ugly painting. You can hide it but it still exists. (When he learns there are two Claudes and two Sylvains he will have further evidence of his theory.)]
What is it that you want, Count Gloucester? [Hubert's smile fades about as quickly as it came, returning to the expressionless servant of the Empress. He has little patience for any idle chit chat.] You've clearly become acquainted with this world. [A pale gaze flicks across the outfit that the other wears for just a moment.] If you've come to tell me how to survive here I would ask you to save us both the time.

Oh, that's a bummer. [ She comments because, of course, she does. He's a new face and she's always happy to make new friends. ] You're allergic to them, too? It's bad enough to be horny on main thanks to this stupid pollen but also having sneezing fits... Sucks to be you, dude.
no subject
He straightens up, tucking the handkerchief away for the moment.]
I beg your pardon? [His words are trickling with ire.] I am not allergic to anything. I am familiar with all manners of poison and otherwise. These little flowers... [He brushes more of the flowers off of his attire with an unhappy grimace.] I am not about to be felled by such nonsense.
[Being "horny on main" as she put it won't even be addressed. Because never once has that been him and it never will be.]

at this point, most people knew that he was a dragon, so he didn't feel the need to try and conceal himself like last time. after overhearing the stranger adjacent to him sneezing relentlessly, the very least he could do was show compassion. despite his draconic appearance, when he speaks his voice is soft, gentle and kind. ]
I see I'm not the only one struggling with the pollen today... don't worry, if you run out of tissues, I have some spare ones in my pocket and I'm happy to share.
no subject
He has learned, quite quickly, that there are all types of strange looking sorts, so he's not about to jump to conclusions but he is ready all the same.]
It's appreciated but I am fine with what I have. [Another sneeze wracks his entire being just after saying that. He hates this. He hates this place. And Hubert can only seethe silently into his handkerchief for a short few moments before again composing himself.]
Are you some sort of demon? [The question is blunt but he manages to keep his voice rather level and lacking condescension.] I surmised I was in Hell the moment I saw Lorenz here so I am not lacking for proof. Everything after that fact is just evidence that supports the theory.

B!
Not this time.
Drawing his sword, Felix dashes through the rain, squinting to catch a glimpse of who the mage is. When he gets close enough to recognize Hubert, he swears under his breath and keeps running with every intention to drop and roll if he sees that magic aimed at him. But he has to get closer; stopping too far away gives the mage the advantage, and he'll only have the opportunity to catch the man off-guard once.
He won't strike, though - not unprovoked. If he gets close enough, he'll simply take up a ready stance, blade poised to attack but still for now.]
Vestra. When did you get here?
no subject
If it hadn't been for Lorenz informing him of Felix and the path he chose he may have fired anyway. He remembers, quite clearly, the bite of that man's blade. And while he still feels mildly doubtful about all this he will allow the benefit of the doubt. He's going to at least ask before attempting to destroy him. It won't be him that lays low an ally of Lady Edelgard.]
Fraldarius. [If he's going to be rude and drop all titles then so be it.] A day or so ago, I suppose. [Hubert has been out and about in the rain for so many hours now it looks like he's never known what it's like to be dry. For now his gaze scours the puddles where he saw these misshaped beasts appear.]
Is it true? What Gloucester said about you?

My apologies. [He doesn't know this person, after all. And, yes, he was in the wrong in this particular moment. Hubert is not about to let the Adrestian Empire look poor because of him.] I'll admit I didn't even see you there.
[A truth, to be certain, Hubert's dark hair which is completely drenched by the rain offers very little visibility. Not quite long enough to brush it behind his ear and so it is remains a burden to his vision, until it dries anyway.
And then it's only a mild impairment]I'll be more mindful of my steps in the future.

[Magic always interests Kuja, and the sounds and flashes of this stranger's displays have attracted him from some distance away. He'd flown a short distance, purely for the sake of speed, but he's walking sedately now as he approaches the other man.]
Whatever these unfortunate beasts might be, they're hardly threats. And surely your magic isn't limitless.
no subject
It very well could be.
[It's absolutely not but there's no need to tell a stranger such a thing.]
And these things may not be a threat now... But they could become one.
[And they just started appearing out of the puddles. Smote first ask questions later to be quite honest.]

[There's a similar crackle of dark magic in the air, but it's certainly not Hubert's. It's also has a distinctly aged feeling to it. A rather diminutive person (not taller than Edelgard, in actuality,) glares daggers at him, baring fangs and dark magic gleaming a rather vibrant violet color around their fingertips.
[Compared to Hubert's, it's a very meager display.]
no subject
Creatures suddenly materializing out the ground are not usually friendly by nature.
[He's not particularly keen on fighting another person right out the gate but if that's what it's going to be then so be it. Maybe he'll die again and get out of this horrid rain filled place.]

Cats and dogs
[ Do her eyes deceive her, or is that really Hubert von Vestra being awful to small animals right here in the simulation? There's no mistaking him, though she's rarely ever seen him when he wasn't looming like a tall, menacing shadow behind Edelgard. What will he do without her here to give him direction? Apart from melting little cats and dogs, apparently.
Spotting a six-legged kitten about to meet an extremely unpleasant fate, Dorothea swoops in to scoop up the hapless creature before Hubert dissolves it. She dances away to a relatively safe distance, holding the kitten to her chest. ]
There's no need for that. They haven't done anything to you, have they?
no subject
Lorenz had some uttered some nonsense about her loyalty but he has already dismissed it along side the rest of his petty lies.]
Dorothea. [He greets, lowering his hands and turns to speak with her with his full attention. He's not going to say he's glad to see her, even if that may be true.] You are a welcome presence in this dire situation. [But he will say that. While ignoring any inquiry to his treatment to the creatures climbing out of puddles.]

no subject
But they're not at home. And his Lady is not here. But Linhardt, curiously, is.]
I do, actually. [He strides over to the familiar face shaking out his sleeves as he does.] There is much the matter, Linhardt. Look around you. This, all of this, is not ideal.

[ Of course, Zechs was gradually coming to the conclusion that the worst simply would be the constant state of affairs, perhaps for the rest of the day. ]
[ But the newcomer made quite an entrance, hadn’t he? Zechs glanced at his state and, standing, offered simply; ]
Have a seat.
After securing all the agro he won't know how to handle this
Without even uttering a sigh he seats himself down at the table and breathes out slow.]
Thank you. [The words come out sincerely tinted with exhaustion.] It is appreciated.
We’ll see how long it lasts lol ;)

A >:3
When it registers to Flayn who it is that's just swept through the door, her eyes grow wide and she pales, one hand flying up to cover her open mouth. Should she run?...no. She will not run, nor will she hide - neither literally nor metaphorically. Never again.
She takes a breath and squares her shoulders, folding her hands politely in front of her and simply waiting to see whether he will spot her...and whether he will recognize her. If not, and he passes by without taking note of her, then...well, then she'll have a chance to warn Seteth, Dimitri, and the others before any conflicts arise.]
>:)
Now wait just a moment.
Hubert turns back around noting that minty green hair at once. Not in the style he remember but surely... He walks back over, looming over her small form like a grim phantom of the night.]
I know you.
[It's not really said with any malice but there is some disdain. Of course her ilk is here. Why wouldn't they be? He has been damned and every insufferable person is here to insure he suffers each and every day. Where is Rhea? She's probably here too. The final nail in a coffin his body probably never got to see.
But now that he has this girl in front of him he's not terribly sure what to do. Or say. He doesn't know her particularly well. He never wanted to. Still doesn't, to be certain.
On the positive he feels he knows enough that she won't be cruel. Or have pointed things to say simply to antagonize or make him angry. And that thought alone makes the menacing aura he likes to cloak himself with dissipate for the most part. He's just tired... It has been just a few very short days but the thread that is holding him together is fraying at an incredible pace.
The bar is at an all time low if he would even consider conversation with Flayn to be the better part of a week.]
I believe your brother would be very distressed if he knew you wound up in a place such as this.
[This is borderline the most cordial he's been towards anyone. Truly desperate times.]
