TDM #5
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 active medical staff, the voice of The Peacekeeper is also 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.
WHAT
The fifth Amani TDM!
WHEN
June 24th, 2022
KINKS OF THE MONTH
★ Double Penetration
★ Orgasm Denial/Control
★ Somnophilia
★ Corruption
★ Squirting/Cumshots
★ Orgasm Denial/Control
★ Somnophilia
★ Corruption
★ Squirting/Cumshots
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 anomalies present. If you'd like, there is cake and some refreshments."
A small pause. "Oh, and! Don't forget to visit the new training grounds, music lounge, library, and onsen. Also, feel free to leave an offering for our resident deity of sleep at his shrine!"
Was that utility pole always there in the middle of the main hub? How did your shoe - just the one - get out on the lawn? You could have sworn you saw them together last. Actually, they are together now if you check. Just what is going on? Trying to draw close to these out-of-place or extra objects will cause them to giggle, wiggle, and disappear in a puff of smoke. Instead of a pole, it's now a wayward chair or cart that wasn't there just a moment before. If one continues to follow this tricky trail, they'll be rewarded by discovering the culprit: a tanuki.
While they appear to be harmless, some of their tricks may get taken just a little bit too far. You may grab for your vibrator only for it to go up in smoke and cause frustration in more ways than one. Or, they'll lead some individuals right into danger's path and giggle all the while. If someone attempts to catch them, they'll be left with only a leaf to show for it and the tracks of these mythical creatures leading directly to the beach.
If the main hub and its features 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 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. Even if you do complain, The Peacekeeper will encourage others to set off and find their own place to live out in the simulation.
Granted, the housing market in the afterlife isn't exactly robust. It doesn't help that every place you find has a leaky roof or broken window. No, unfortunately that will 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.
★ One of the aforementioned features will toggle automatically. All one needs to do is set foot on the sands of Taasunni and they'll be changed into the appropriate dress for a beach outing. Well, appropriate might be a bit of a stretch... This feature is, as mentioned, new and will be subject to some modifications. For now, inhabitants will have to deal with being put into something scandalous, ridiculous, or both!
The Peacekeeper promises to listen to feedback accordingly and modify everyone's outfits to something a bit less outlandish... eventually. In the meantime, why not flaunt what you've got and make the most of the simulated sun's rays on your skin?
★ If you'd rather preserve what little dignity you may have left, there are changing tents available to grab a towel that somehow covers up more than your swimwear probably did. Although some might be wary of tents after the picnic, these ones do not have aphrodisiac candles in them! But they do have a catch. These tents are translucent from the inside looking out like a one-way pane of glass.
Not to worry though! From the outside, no one can see in even if you can see them. In fact, there might be a subtle urge to see just how far you can take things within the walls of these tents while those outside are unawares; it might just scratch that itch for some exhibitionism without anyone actually watching.
A small pause. "Oh, and! Don't forget to visit the new training grounds, music lounge, library, and onsen. Also, feel free to leave an offering for our resident deity of sleep at his shrine!"
TRICKY TRICKSTERS
About those aforementioned anomalies...Was that utility pole always there in the middle of the main hub? How did your shoe - just the one - get out on the lawn? You could have sworn you saw them together last. Actually, they are together now if you check. Just what is going on? Trying to draw close to these out-of-place or extra objects will cause them to giggle, wiggle, and disappear in a puff of smoke.

If someone attempts to catch them, they'll be left with only a leaf to show for it and the tracks of these mythical creatures leading directly to the beach.
WHAT'S YOUR DTF STATUS?
If the main hub and its features 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.

SUN'S OUT, GUNS OUT
"Hello, inhabitants," greets The Peacekeeper. "No doubt you've noticed the temperature gradually rising as my nature parameters adjust to summer weather." It has gotten a bit warmer these days, hasn't it? Although some may have not noticed, there is no doubt that others have been sensitive to the climbing heat.
"To remedy any discomfort, I suggest you hit the beach! There are plenty of fun new features that I've been requested to implement by The Creators to help keep everyone content! We hope that you enjoy them!"★ One of the aforementioned features will toggle automatically. All one needs to do is set foot on the sands of Taasunni and they'll be changed into the appropriate dress for a beach outing. Well, appropriate might be a bit of a stretch...

HARMONIOUS HEARTS
DTFs will helpfully tell their owners that it is mating season for the heart jellies just off the shores of Taasunni. During the next couple of months, there will be an abundance of them floating idly in the cool waters of the sea. While their sting doesn't usually hurt, exactly, during this time there is a bit more risk to being zapped than just an enjoyable tingling sensation. It will burn but because their sting leaves a heart branded into one's skin temporarily.
Nothing will seem to relieve the dull pain on your own; however, the brand will draw others to you and serve as a target for their, ahem, affections. Bodily fluids from the most intimate of areas are about the only thing that will provide some relief and cause these heart-shaped brands to fade. Hopefully, you didn't get stung anywhere too embarrassing or difficult to come on!
Unfortunately, the other side effect of these stings is that the person with the brand won't be able to find relief - literal or sexual - until it's gone. Nothing will seem to bring them over that brink before their partner has "helped" get rid of the marking. Whether or not they do that quickly will be entirely up to them. The lack of control might be a bit unnerving but hopefully the eventual orgasm will be absolutely worth it.

CALLING TO ME
★ Throughout the simulation, as the sun dips low in the sky and stars begin to make their nightly debut, the sound of furin carrying on the breeze can be heard. It draws people to the beach and appears to sound from somewhere beyond sight passed ocean waves. It will make inhabitants feel a keen sense of longing that they can't quite explain. Whatever the case, they will want for more suddenly. Whether this is from their partner, their life, or just in general, the feeling won't be shaken so easily. Thankfully, the sound and feelings it evokes are only temporary. Just don't be surprised if that feeling of longing leads you to bite off more than you can chew in some way or another.
★ Observant inhabitants may notice that the island that spawned when the simulation expanded is now much closer to shore than before. It's also... moving? Although subtle and slow, it does appear to be inching ever closer to show throughout the day. It will make land during nightfall and reveal a giant turtle with palm trees and other tropical foliage growing off of its back.
"Sorry about the-" It's words are broken up by a loud yawn that will make anyone close suddenly very drowsy. "-tanuki. They decided to hitch a ride without me knowing." The turtle yawns again, causing another wave of grogginess to hit those talking to it. "I'll take them back when I give you all a ride to one of The Dead Ends. But until then... It was a long swim here. I'm going to just - aaawwwhhhh - take a short nap." That short nap will last two weeks. Inhabitants are free to climb aboard the turtle's back but it won't be stirring again anytime soon, unfortunately.
And perhaps neither will you! That sleepiness is downright contagious and will lead to inhabitants that had spoken to the turtle for any length of time falling into a deep slumber the next time they decide to lay down. Almost nothing will be able to wake them until the effect subsides. Although, if they seem more receptive to a bit of intimacy than anything... That's just a coincidence, surely!

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

QUESTIONS/FEEDBACK
Robin | Fire Emblem: Awakening | OTA
[Robin lets out a sigh of relief once she's out of that stuffy and weird lecture hall and on the streets which are still pretty weird but at least no one is talking to her about the end of the world and... everyone she knows being dead.
Did they not... stop that future? She bites her lip and gives her head a shake and the first thing she notices is...
It's really hot here, huh?
Now, it doesn't help she's in a big heavy coat but really... To be dropped off in this crazy heat? That just seems unfair. She waves a hand in front of her face as if that'll help. So... now what, exactly? She's uncertain. Start having sex apparently. In this heat? Ugh...]
B - Sun's Out, Guns Out
[Still not without her usual coat but in something much more appropriate Robin can be found at the beach, wading in the shallows.
She is starving and there is probably a lot of delicious fish to be had here. She stands still with her makeshift wooden spear at the ready, her tongue sticking out just slightly as she watches and wait for the perfect mark...
There it is. A light shines in her eyes and she slams her spear into the water piercing one... well. It's a crab. But crab is good eating too. Pleased despite not getting the fish she wanted she moves to place the crab in her now crab bucket despite her fish eating intentions.]
Oh. Here. [She smiles at the person coming up to her and she holds out the newly dubbed crab bucket.] Have you ever had? It's pretty good. Especially with butter which I do not have unfortunately. Help yourself though! Just caught! Nice and fresh!
C- Harmonious Hearts
[All that wading about trying to catch fish means that of course Robin got stung. Maybe a bit more than once. It hurts quite a bit more than she expected. The hearts appear mostly on her legs. High on her thighs and so on. And at first it's managable. But then... it isn't.
Ah... she should have figured that a place like this that desires sex from its inhabitants would find ways to make you horny. There's only so much fighting off her wants before the tactition finally has to try and solve this problem herself. Not bothering to try and find a secluded spot on the beach Robin simply plops herself down and attempts to subtly slide her fingers beneath her bikini bottom. After a few fruitless minutes of rubbing her clit it seems that this is a bigger problem than anticipated.]
Damn...
[She keeps trying though, flopping backwards on the sand to try and solve this problem the only way she can think to.]
A
he spots her.
immediately he stops dead in his tracks.
he can't believe it. is that really ... ]
... Robin? [ the question parts from his mouth before he can stop it. ]

If you're too hot, perhaps the smarter idea is to remove your coat, don't you think?

AAH-!! [ the dragon prince stumbles backwards and shields his eyes with his hands, a blush immediately burning across his face. ] OhmygodsI'msosorry-!!
[ he tried not to make a fuss but, well, he's a twinky himbo and this is just how he is. because he had his eyes closed, the dragon falls backwards after tripping on a rock and lands in some shallow water. ]

Ardbert | Final Fantasy XIV | OTA
[ Having been a specter for a period of a hundred years, there are certain things that Ardbert missed doing. Sure, there were other thoughts that took focus during that time, but there's no denying him missing being able to eat and drink. He stands before the offering of cake and drinks, looking between all the different options. ]
I'm not quite sure what to try here.
B - Sun's Out, Guns Out
[ Well, he certainly wasn't expecting this when he first stepped foot onto the beach. He looks down at himself, frowning heavily at the briefs he was forced into. ]
I won't deny that these are appropriate for the location, but aren't there less... revealing options?
C - Harmonious Hearts
[ Of course the moment he decides to step into the water, outfit be damned, he gets stung by something. The burn heats up his skin as he lets out a small shout of pain as he gets out of the water as quickly as he can. Ardbert looks at the heart branded on his thigh and pants heavily, feeling a warmth flood through his body.
If you're on the beach, and he sees you about to head into the water, he'll call out to you from where he's laying on the sand, still heavily flushed. ]
I'd stay out, if I were you.
D - Wildcard
[ feel free to come up with something on your own or hit me up to plan something else! I'm open ]
c.
Wasn't actually planning on going all the way in, [ she starts, raise of her brow in interest. ] but thanks for the heads up.
You, uh. You need some help there, dude?

The same fluffy, long, tail trying to cover the floral pattern of his own bottoms.]
With the strangeness of this place and what this "Peacekeeper" encourages, you should be lucky to be so covered. That said, I have my doubts.

Pardon the outburst. I promise I'm happy to see you, sister! [ no, that's not a term of affection! congratulations, Lucina, Inigo is your brother in another timeline! while he is oblivious to this Lucina having Sully as her mother, the Lucina he remembers has Olivia as hers. why should he assume any different?

i. city!!
So he's already there when Lucina arrives, practicing a few of the new techniques he's learned from the otherworldly swordsmen on a training dummy. Back at Garreg Mach, someone else entering the training hall while he was there was no reason for him to stop what he was doing or even acknowledge their presence. Here, though, the variety and average skill of the sparring partners he's found are impressive, so as long as whoever shows up doesn't interrupt or annoy him, he usually at least gives them a glance.
Today, he finishes up the series of strikes he's in the middle of before he pauses and turns to look. He tilts his head, upon seeing her - Felix has never been good at reading people in social situations, but here? His sharp eyes and intuition can tell already that she carries herself like a warrior, like a woman who should have a sword at her hip, though she's unarmed at the moment. Unsurprising, since he doesn't recognize her, which suggests she might be new here. She's dressed in a more familiar style of clothes than many of the otherworlders here, too, and he can't help wondering if she might actually be from Fodlan...hmm. He looks her over, and then moves to the rack of training swords to select one that seems appropriate for her size and build. Sure, she could be a lancer or an archer or something, but the way she moves feels too familiar to him for that.]
Look sharp.
[That's the only warning he gives before he tosses her the practice sword. It's partially a test - he wants to see what kind of instincts and reflexes she's got. What kind of reaction she'll have.]

seven | scissor seven
SUN'S OUT, GUNS OUT.
sun's out, guns out (even if you have none, seven, it's fine)
he's mid-applying a liberal amount of sunscreen (which has glitter in it, unbeknownst to him until he'd started putting it on) when seven approaches him, causing him to hesitate and promptly upturn when he introduces himself.
wow, seventeen-thousand three-hundred and sixty-nine? that's... a lot of assassins to— wait, is seven his name or just a number then? sizhui's head shakes, effectively derailing that train of thought and bringing him back around to preparing to introduce himself in kind.] Ah—? [that's followed by a brief pause while he tilts sideways, considers seven's flexing and hums softly. he's trying to remember if jackie chan is a familiar name or not, though the longer he contemplates, the more it seems like nothing comes to mind.
but hey, he can at least smile, prop an elbow onto his knee, put his chin in his palm and offer:] Hmmm, [alongside a fleeting once-over during his examination.]

Flayn | Fire Emblem: Three Houses (CRAU)
[ There has never been a more dour-looking person at the beach.
Flayn is sporting a hair cut and wearing something on the cute side, but she does not look thrilled to be here. She wallflowers out under an umbrella on the sand, watching a frilly pink fish swim around in the air with some fascination. ]
...I admit, I still do not understand how it is that you work. You are some sort of machine?
[ The fish...doesn't respond out loud, but Flayn apparently understands what it's saying when it headbutts her arm like a cat. ]
I see. I suppose I should go look for the others, but the waves are quite soothing to behold. Is that strange, considering...?
[ Flayn shakes her head. ]
No, I chance it will not. Well, come now. It would be prudent to at least check this beach before we leave.
b
[ Ah, not this shit again. Flayn is cradling her hand and looking frustrated. One of the heart-shaped burn marks is on the center of her palm. She doesn't know how to make it go away, but she has some idea, given the setting. ]
Pardon me.
[ She flags down anyone else who is wearing a heart burn mark. ]
I don't suppose you know how I might rid myself of this mark? I have my suspicions, but I would like to be sure.
wildcard
(( good with mostly anything! For context, Flayn is a CRAU from Erku, and she's also from late in Azure Moon, canonpoint wise! If you wanna chat or have any questions feel free to hit me up discord or plurk, hakurei#0407 +
a!
Pebbles, what-? [ Was it one of the dogs, maybe, wanting to chase? Rose squints across the way to see a (what she believes to be) known head of green hair. ] Oh. Hey, Flayn.

Megaera | Hades
[...but the sun was less than ideal.]
[Megaera was certainly no stranger to death. Her last appointed position had, of course, been guarding the exit to the depths of hell itself. So when the strange disembodied voice in the drab little room informed her that the world as she knew it had ended, she was largely unmoved. However, for a realm of the dead, it sure was... bright. To eyes adjusted to darkness, it was wholly unpleasant.]
[Meg found herself a comfortable chair in which to lounge and a nice umbrella to do it under, only marginally concerned with her scant get-up. She had worn less. She was more concerned with the unusual piece of thick paper in her hand, marked in green and displaying numbered squares. She turned it over inquisitively. What in the world were "peaceful interactions"? What did the marks on this card accomplish? This so-called Peacekeeper was rather vague. If Meg didn't run into a familiar face soon, nor was she approached by anyone who knew what the hell was going on and could explain it plainly, she would certainly take it upon herself to seek out some answers. The whip lying in the sand beside her, however, may have come across as unwelcoming to some. But perhaps not to everyone.]

Hypnos and Thanatos' home is on the beach, so every time he leaves the house he ends up in a similarly scant outfit-- though his at least comes with a minimal amount of sun protection. He's floating above the sand, in a bit of a funk thanks to the ongoing tension between him and Thanatos, when he spots a familiar sillhouette.]
Wait, is that-- [Golden eyes squint, then briefly open wide in surprise before falling back to their default half-lidded state. Hypnos' trademark grin is back on his lips before he knows it as he floats over to her.] Oh wow, Miss Megaera! I didn't know you were here! Gee, Than's sure gonna be happy to see you! Not that I'm not happy too. To see you, I mean. Um, hey, you look really nice!

Anders || Dragon Age II
[It had been dark, last he remembered. Not because it was night time, but because the people of Redcliffe had done him the kindness and cruelty of blindfolding him before they began their execution of him. He didn't hear the words that had been said. He didn't want to, and frankly, he had gone numb to the world by that point. He remembered Justice apologizing to him.
"You did the right thing."
At least one of them was fully certain of that.
And then, stone collided with flesh and bone, rending it. Over and over and over. It had taken him nearly an hour to finally die.]
[And then, inexplicably, he was breathing again. His eyes opened, before clamping shut again, assailed by the lights of the infirmary, and he gasped in for that first breath of air like a drowning man. It felt almost painful in his chest. But then, he realized, he somehow wasn't in pain. Slowly, Anders looked down at his hands, turning them over. They were bloodless and clean.]
[Where was he? Hopefully there was someone, anyone, who could explain. Though it didn't take much thought to realize he was dead, this certainly didn't look like Hell. Or the Kingdom of the Maker.]
Hello?
no subject
Sometimes she wished the peacekeeper would give them a bit more warning before that happened. Alas. )
Hello. ( She replied, her voice soft, her footsteps feather-light as she strode over him, dark eyes scanning along the length of his body to search for any obvious wounds. ) Do you require medical assistance? I would advise you remain seated even if you do not - you are likely to have a lot of questions. ( From the sound of things, she might have said this a few times before. )

simon tam | firefly (attempt number 2)
Simon doesn't believe the story for a minute-- if it's the "best and brightest" they're grabbing, shouldn't River be here with him, if not in his place entirely? His objectives are simple: figure out where he is, figure out where River is... and, okay, step 3 depends largely on the results of steps 1 and 2. But first he has to get a feel for the place. If they grabbed him and not River, it's very possible they need a doctor.
Naturally, the first place Simon heads is to the infirmary to see what he's working with. He rolls up his sleeves, preparing to inspect the available supplies. He only briefly glances up at the sound of approaching footsteps. "I'm afraid I've only just arrived, so please forgive me as I get my bearings, but if you need treatment, I'm happy to help."
ii. suns out/harmonious hearts
Wow, thanks, he hates it. But it's too gorrammed hot to ignore the pull of the beach, so he'll just plant his ass down just in the water enough that the waves flow over his legs, helping to keep him cool without rendering this very white swimsuit soaked enough to be see-through.
He's surprisingly buff under his usual layers, especially for the stodgy bookish type he tends to come off as. For as long as he's been fighting and working and trying to figure out how to help River, as strange as these circumstances are it feels nice to just... relax on a beach. He leans back, hands pressing into the sand as he holds himself up on his arms, closing his eyes with a long sigh. Unseen, a red heart-shaped jellyfish is carried by the waves right towards him.
i. arrival
You're new, too? Are you... the only one here?

Ruffnut | HTTYD (post film 2, primarily TV canon)
“Oi, get back here!” A young woman in a ridiculous furry outfit and horned hat skids past, after a giggling bundle of fur that had been a comfy looking chair until a moment ago. Attempting to sit down had left Ruffnut falling on her arse, and that just won't do. She's the follower of Loki here!
“Damned big balled badger, I'm gonna get you!” Someone help her before she ends up faceplanting in the dirt with nothing more than a leaf to show for it?
no guns here
Scandalous and ridiculous, you say? For a young viking woman the simulation had too many choices, but the outfit Ruffnut ends up in was designed for someone with significantly bigger boobs than her. At least she still has her helmet though.
She takes one step forward into the sand, and her new furry high heeled boots betray her, sinking in. She falls with an undignified yelp, eating sand, but quickly extracts herself from both the floor and her boots. She tosses them at the next person passing. “Here, take these. Merry Snoggletog.”
dangerous waters
Later, she finds her way to the water, stripping off as many of the unnecessary parts of her new swimwear off and leaving them scattered on the beach. The water's much warmer than she's used to, and she's taking advantage, floating around on her back happily until –
“Fuck, the fucking jellyfish bit me!” Sure enough, a red heart is already starting to appear on the inside of her breast, in between the open leather vest that the simulation thought was appropriate clothing.
closed to sylvain
His growing selection of Peacekeeper-granted boardgames are set out, Missy the glitched dog-cat is sprawled out belly-up on the couch-- all that's left is for Sylvain to arrive. And for Claude to continue to ignore the burn from the sting.]
no subject
[Sylvain managed to find some soothing plant gel for his sunburn... not as bad as it could be, but he will probably peel in a few days... ugh. He has more freckles popping up than he did before, too, dusting his shoulders and collarbone, and starting to be visible on his face. He also managed to scrounge up some comfortable summer clothes that aren't a ridiculous bathing suit. He doesn't want to walk into Claude's apartment half-naked for their board game date!]
[No... not a date. Though he always joked that's what they were back in the academy days. Remembering that tugs at his chest as though there was a string threaded through the center, pulled taught. Those simpler days of lighthearted teenaged fun, when the stakes were lower and it was safer to nurse those complicated feelings he had. With that on his mind, he knocks on Claude's door, distracted.]
It's me.

Sylvain Gauter VW flavor | FE3H
[Toplevels in replies]
Guns very much Out | Open
[A beach open? Sure, why not. Sylvain may be a mountain man of cold weather, withering in the heat, but he can appreciate a summer celebration and an excuse for everyone to be wet and scantily clad. At least the water will be cooler than the air around them, and maybe there will be a breeze.]
[Sylvain is no exception himself. He steps onto the beach and suddenly his loose linen clothes are replaced with a single, small, tight swim... panties. That's what these feel like. Oh, well. He nabs a towel out of a tent and goes to stand in the surf, sighing deeply as the cool water touches his legs. You can practically watch the freckles form on his shoulders if you watch closely, but if you do, he might just flick some water at you! Or snap his towel playfully, depending. Or maybe you catch him off guard as he wades in deeper!]

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd || Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Everything was for naught. All the years of fighting, of all the people he had tried to save and those he lost didn't matter. Dimitri was just informed he was dead and not only him but everyone he had once known was gone. It was soul crushing to put it lightly. It had only been a week since his victory over the Empire, he hadn't even had time to rest from it all and now it didn't even matter. When he first heard the news he had wanted to punch the wall in anger, the only thing stopping him having been his confusion at some of the things he was seeing.
After the initial rush of anger that seeps into his very blood starts to dissipate only temporarily, he is hit with the searing heat. It's not as bad as Ailell but it's not far off. Already he can feel the sweat starting to bead on his back and drip down his spine. It's uncomfortable being in his full armor and his face isn't hiding his dissatisfaction of the situation.
"Everything will be fine it said..." He mocks, a mumble to himself as his piercing azure eyes look for even one familiar face. He needs something to ground him.
He walks into the lobby, searching. The sound of metal against the floor is heard behind him and he turns to see what looks like a golden lion standing behind him. It's small, no bigger than a typical housecat but it's flesh isn't fur coated. To Dimitri it looks more like it's armor plated. He doesn't care for whatever it is only that it leaves him alone or he might take his anger and frustration out on it.
More than just guns out~
The beach is much, much worse than the lobby in heat. Dimitri isn't quite sure why he even bothered walking to it and once his boot takes a step on the sand his entire outfit changes, or rather lack of outfit. This can hardly be called swimwear let alone anything decent for public. At first he notices how quickly he cools from the lack of armor but then there is the oddly cooling breeze at his groin. It distracts him enough to look down and that's when he realizes how exposed he is. Not only are the scars on his back and chest shown to all but his royal dick is hardly covered by the too thin small black fabric. It's a great view for any around him however.
Instantly his hands go to try to cover himself, looking around for anything, something to cover himself. His face is red and not just from the heat. Dimitri so far is not having a good time here. He spots a few tents up ahead and starts to move towards them but as soon as he does he feels the fabric shifting and exposing him more. There is no way this is the proper size for him, he'd be better off nude in this case.
A slew of curses passes in his thoughts as he ways his options. He can stand here like a fool with his dick slowly exposing itself or he can run to a tent and hope for the best. He decides to run to one of the tent and barely makes it to the towels stored around. Quickly he wraps one around his waist but the damage has already been done.
Wildcard!
{Come bother hopesmitri however your heart desires}
lobby.
"Ah," is all he can manage to say, at first, rather ineloquently. What can he say, honestly? The poor boy already appears to be in quite a foul mood and, doubtless, this will make it any better. "I know this must be disorienting enough as it is, but I... Please, let's find somewhere to sit and discuss matters." Civility, he supposes, is probably his best bet here.

Zagreus | Hades | OTA
Zagreus has already lost count of the things he's never seen before here, and he only just left the infirmary five minutes ago. He's definitely on the surface, of that he's sure, but he doesn't feel sick or anything. Well, other than hunger pangs, and he hasn't seen a single gyro lying around anywhere.
Fortunately, he stumbles across the bar relatively quickly, and this looks plenty familiar, even if the bartender looks at him like he's suddenly sprouted snakes for hair when he asks for nectar. Since he's unfamiliar with all the drinks on offer and he doesn't even know what 'cake' is, he turns to whoever's nearby with a friendly smile.
"Hello there. Might I ask you for a bit of advice on what to order? And your name, while I'm at it. I'm Zagreus."
[ooc: cake flavor and drink type are up to you! also, if you're a castmate, feel free to assume he cuts himself off mid-word when he sees who it is. XD]
2. Hypnos' Shrine
It's after Zagreus has a sort of plodding conversation with an enormous...uh...ocean hill with a face? (A turtle, Zag. It's a turtle.) that he runs across the shrine by the beach. Finally, something familiar! Zagreus looks over it with curiosity. Maybe whichever god this belongs to can tell him more about--wait. Wait just a second. Are those poppies?
Zagreus hurries over to the altar, but pauses. He doesn't have anything to offer here as a way of hopefully reaching Hypnos. He tries just sort of...talking at the shrine and waiting around; maybe his mate will just hear him and show up?
But all these poppies and the general sleepy vibes here get him yawning and lying down just in front of the altar soon enough. He's just going to take a tiny little nap.
...or, instead, quite an unintentionally long nap, thanks to his chat with the turtle. Whoops! Hopefully somebody finds him soon and doesn't mind getting a little cozy...
3. Sun's Out! and it's Really Fucking Bright!
Like, really fucking bright. Painfully so, actually, if Zagreus isn't squinting or shielding his eyes somehow. The heat, at least, is normal to him - well, as normal as Asphodel ever is. He does appreciate that when he stepped onto the beach, it did him the courtesy of giving him less clothing to wear.
He does not appreciate the fact that when he steps into one of the tents to find some shelter from the sun, it ends up providing absolutely none whatsoever because it suddenly turns translucent. He mutters to himself about it in his annoyance.
Or you may run across him marveling at something completely mundane, like a seagull. Or sand. Or salt water. Or a seashell. Really, most of what's here is entirely new to him. Feel free to interrupt his musing about why these strange white bats are so loud!
And if you happen to see him cavorting in the water with a gigantic, red, three-headed dog that exudes menace, don't worry - that's just his DTF. At one point, though, while he's in the water, he feels a sort of tingling sting and brings his hand up to look at it; there's a strange heart-shaped mark there on his palm. He has no idea what a jellyfish is, but presumably there's something in the water that did this, so you might find him making his way back to shore with his huge dog in tow, frowning at his hand and trying to shake it out.
4. Wildcard!
[ooc: feel free to plot stuff with me on discord or PM!]
hypnos' shrine ofc
He doesn't have to look long. "Heh, wow, you really made yourself right at home, huh?" He giggles, floating over to the alter. Well, it doesn't look very comfortable, laying on the floor like that... but Hypnos doesn't feel very inclined to try and wake Zagreus up, even though he's missed him. He could really use the sleep, after all!
So, he takes off his cloak and drapes it over the underworld's prince. The thick fabric gently wraps around him, then slides underneath, acting as a cushion and a blanket. It's especially hard to resist the urge to lay down with him for a bit now, so Hypnos doesn't, his significantly more lengthy form curled up next to him on the cloak. He sighs contentedly, resting his head on Zagreus' broad chest, one arm draping across the prince's torso. You can't just fall asleep in Sleep Incarnate's shrine and not expect to be used as a pillow! He'll wake Zagreus up in a bit, he swears-- it's just so nice, seeing him fully relaxed for once!
:D

Savli | Original | OTA
--Aw, fuck.
[The DTF’s camera is on, and the horned, lavender-skinned young woman it’s tracking is sure looking at it - but it’s less like she’s intentionally making a video, and more like… the kind of look with which one might stare down, say, an unexpected trash can raccoon.
Or, as anyone witnessing this Situation in person may see, an unexpected flightless bird that probably couldn’t fit in a trash can, seeing as how it’s taller than she is. It clacks its beak and takes a step closer, and the woman taps a cloven hoof rapidly on the ground a few times, pointedly raising the thin, sharp spines on her back.] No. Back off, there’s nothing for you here!
b - beach
Savli picks her way through the sand, with some effort; loose sand like this doesn’t play particularly nice with her hooves, and she feels like she’s got to lift them pretty high to make any progress. But, it’s hot as fuck out, and neither unsuitable terrain nor an unnecessarily strappy swimsuit will keep her away from the water.
She’s quick to plop down in the offending sand once she reaches the surf, and lies back to get a look at the terror bird still following her around. At least she’s gathered by now that it is, apparently, supposed to be there, somehow?
“You know that, whatever you show me, I’m not gonna buy that I’m actually dead, right? I mean, nothing can kill me, that’s kinda the whole point of my pact. Like-- okay, if someone here wants to take a cheap shot just to check, I welcome it! They’re free to try, it just ain’t going to work!”
Apparently ignoring the fact that, y’know. Theoretically, being in the afterlife might also make killing her harder, for all she knows. She hasn’t thought this through, alright.
c - heart burn
“Ow, shit!”
The complaint is more out of habit than anything; with her pain tolerance being what it is, the dull burning feeling from the heart-shaped marks raised on her thighs and the underside of her tail is pretty negligible! But, uh. She can still feel it, it’s still annoying, and she still wants to complain.
The secondary effect that she’s started to notice, too, is unsurprising, given how she’s started to gather this place works but… she also can’t object too much to that one
if only because she hasn’t discovered the “not being able to get off” part yet. She supposes she could try and do something about that herself instead of just poking at the burns and complaining about the consequences of that, but… well, there are other people around, after all!She purses her lips, glancing at… frankly, anyone who might have been, understandably, staring at the purple hooved lady sitting with her legs apart, openly inspecting the stings left right by her bikini line. And then she breaks into a bright, fanged grin. “You wanna see about helping me out here?”
B
"You might not be dead, but I'm pretty sure I am. Still pretty sure it ain't no afterlife." They crouch down in the sand next to her so they're not standing over her, the skirt of their blue wooden swimming costume brushing the sand, the fake moustache on their upper lip twitching as they speak and straw boater shading their features. "No reason to take a shot at you in any case. I'm Rowan." They offer her a hand and a smile.

yuri leclerc / fire emblem: 3 houses (dlc)
gunsbuns out.[ well yuri doesn’t seem too fussed at the moment. besides, the best place to start gathering information is in an area flush with people, and the beach is certainly seeing a lot of traffic. dressing up in one of the changing tends, yuri is trying on a very cute, itsy bitsy, teeny weeny iridescent lavendar bikini, working on tying the top around himself. he may as well not be wearing anything really, it doesn’t hide all that much, even with a silky, hardly-opaque wrap around his hips.
when he hears someone enter, he turns his head, lowering a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses over his nose. ]
Mind giving me a hand here? Seems I’m all thumbs at the moment, [ as he holds the top to his chest like he really has something to hide. ]
-
[ alternatively, yuri has definitely fallen asleep underneath the sun. there's a convenient bottle of what should probably be sun screen laid near him as he dozes with his sunglasses. a tiny little mockingbird dtf is nestled in his hair, and when it sees someone walk by, it twitters out, plucking at the bottle with its little talons helplessly!!! ]
A bit of assistance? I'm afraid my dear will burn if someone doesn't help.
[ there's a very small, imperceptible smile on yuri's lips as he noses into his own arms.
this is your terrible wonderful semi-somnophilia/massage prompt because i'm self-indulgent like that. ]
harmonious hearts.
[ oh this sucks, absolutely. yuri knew that taking a self-indulgent float in the water. to think something so luxurious is now an utter nightmare.
there’s a little mockingbird dtf perched just visible to where he’s currently hiding out in a cove of rocks and when it spies someone who may be a viable partner, it chirrups in delight, singing a sweet little song and fluttering down onto whoever it might be to gather their attention, tugging at clothing, plucking and nudging and pushing until it tweets in triumph.
because it brings whoever it is straight to yuri, with a hand between his thighs, working feverishly at himself from where he’s sat on a beach towel. the thin strings holding the bottom of his bathing suit together are undone, and he’s still working at himself with his hand until he turns and sees whoever it is, bristling a bit between the pain and the lack of satisfaction. ]
This isn’t a free show, she brought you here to help me.
[ it’s a combination scowl-flush. he’s not embarrassed just… worked up. ]
I can make it worth your while, don’t worry. But I need help before this stupid mark drives me insane.
[ finally showing where one of these stupid jellyfish bit him right on the ass???? hello???? ]
wildcard.
[ throw something @ me???? ]
buns out
He gives a yelp of surprise when he realizes he's not alone in here.]
Shit, sorry. I didn't realize this was occupied...
[When he first sees the bikini, he thinks he's walked in on a woman. But, upon closer inspection... there's not really anything filling out those cups, is there?]
Oh. Uh. Sure?
[Still a little reluctant, he takes the cords and fastens them tightly around Yuri's back.]
There. This ought to hold. That's a...bold choice in swimwear, isn't it?
