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.

KINKS OF THE MONTH

★ 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

★ Make sure to dunk your questions/feedback in the thread below!
★ LAST BUT NOT LEAST! The player cap has BEEN INCREASED TO 45 PLAYERS. We're at 41/45 right now.
NAVIGATION
no subject
Oh--I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were coming. Did something happen?
[He looks a little concerned, but not actually surprised or confused. If Flayn is dropping by without letting one of them know first, does that mean something is wrong? How can he help?]
no subject
Coming...? I have only just woken up here. [ gesturing around her ] Father, who is this woman?
no subject
[ For once, Rose is glad to be derailed by an unexpected interruption.
Honestly, the heat and sun weren't even things she was thinking of- But, of course, Seteth was. The woman blinks at the hat dropped on her head. She glances up to smile at the fluttering wyvierrel and adjust the position of the headpiece so it's straightened out.
She takes that glass of ice water and leans against Seteth briefly for a subtle sense of support. ] So, uh. I think this might be another Flayn?
But, well. I'm Rose, for the record.
no subject
Seteth reaches out to gather Flayn into his arms immediately, to hold her tight and press a reassuring kiss against the top of her head. The wyvirrel soon follows, fluttering down to land on her shoulder and wind around her neck like a living stole.]
I'm so sorry..... Are you hurt? Did you run into any trouble on your way here? What did you last--n-no, we should probably go inside and sit down to talk. I'm sure you must have a lot of questions.
[Just. Give him a second to take a steadying breath and squash down the immediate alarm. He needs to be strong and steady, ready to answer Flayn's questions and help her acclimate to this place.]
That's right. I am courting Rose at present; I'm sure the two of you will get along marvelously.
no subject
No, I am fine, relatively speaking. The last thing...those creatures rose out of the sea and lay siege to the island.
[ She is desperately hoping he remembers that, too. If this is a different Seteth, that's going to make adjusting even harder. ]
I was pulled underneath the waves. Something affixed itself to my ankle.
no subject
Normally, Rose herself would be all smiles and joy at 'courting' being mentioned but Flayn is right. This is a lot. And she feels a bit suddenly out of place; while the woman wants to offer her own comfort, she thinks that this soon it would be... overstepping. ]
Let's get inside, then, [ she mentions, stepping away from the pair and back towards the house. ] I'm sure you guys will have lots to talk about.
no subject
[Yes, he remembers their assaults. He remembers everything. There's a tightly reined in anger in his tone, thinking of those fiends drowning Flayn in the sea she loved so dearly--but Seteth moves to lead Flayn inside, reaching out to settle a reassuring hand on Rosie's shoulder as they go. Don't think you're not a part of this family too!]
We'll do our best to answer any questions you have. And when you're ready, we can start thinking about how to get you settled in.
no subject
The tension in her shoulders drains. There's still...a lot to go through but at least she knows this is the same Seteth she talked to yesterday morning. She nods and follows him inside.
So. What's dad's sweet crib look like? ]
no subject
Brick the Nurikabe - now almost knee height - comes up curiously sniff at Flayn. He knows her. Or does he? Either way, it's a new body to try and trip so he's excited. ] Brick, shoo- Don't even think about it yet.
[ The lesser yokai gives a small huff of annoyance through it's noise before obediently scampering off somewhere. ]
I didn't fall to those ones, [ Rose says ] but I guess I did when they came back for round two. [ She actually doesn't remember still. Vague recollections of her own death though seem to be a trend. ] Anyway. I can make some tea, if you'd like.
no subject
[A foolish, short-sighted, reckless decision born out of pure spite, really--little more than a handful of children's tantrums that could have proven disastrous. How in the world had they expected to sustain themselves without the Augur's dubious generosity, or the help of its robots? The island may have been more vibrant and stable than it once was, but that didn't necessarily mean they had the resources or collective skills to make it livable long term. Who among them would have been capable of devoting themselves to farming and animal husbandry, and where would they have ever hoped to find staple crops or livestock? Had anyone among them known how to spin thread or weave cloth, let alone make the tools for it?
On and on the list went--not only was it was questionable if they could have met their own needs on the island, but they would have been forced to do so. Giving up on the Augur naturally meant giving up on the one being who could reliably send them home. If anyone had survived the follow up assault, no doubt they were in dire straits indeed. Seteth can only sigh at the thought, shaking his head and gesturing invitingly at the couch--one that's in almost comically poor condition, compared to the rest of the house. It's comfortable, at least? But it definitely feels like it could collapse under them at any moment.]
Ah, mind how you sit. We haven't been able to repair or dispose of that one.
no subject
[ dude......she remembers what it was like a thousand years ago before fodlan had the technology and established settlements it does these days! farming every day just to eat wasn't fun! and there are surely people there from societies more advanced than theirs, how were they going to survive?
She honestly looks baffled at the idea.
Flayn steps over the youkai veeeeeery carefully and regards the couch with some confusion. This...doesn't look like Seteth's choice of decor so she's a little suspicious of why it's still here, but okay.
To Rosie: ]
The offer is appreciated, but I must decline. It is quite the hot day outside.
[ she's still wearing her swimsuit, even ]
no subject
[ She doesn't have much say since, well, she wasn't there. She had only shown up after for a handful of months and learned about all of it from what people told her.
But as someone who also had to hunt her own food for a couple of centuries, 0/10 would not recommend it. Microwaves are the best thing to ever be invented. ]
I could make iced tea, in that case. [ Fancy! The perks of having minor ice powers. ] But that's fine. You're welcome to anything else in the kitchen, too, of course. Just, uh- Watch your step. Brick likes to trip people and Spoopy, our cat, has fun surprising guests.
no subject
[Sometimes, a rebellion is well-justified. Sometimes, it even works out well--the Alliance, for example, has found plenty of success apart from the Kingdom's rule. But no matter how justified that rebellion had been, no amount of good intentions could excuse the inevitable results they would have reaped from their treason. To tear apart your own foundation underfoot, and yet have nothing to replace it with--it's sheer folly, much like Edelgard's planned destruction of the Church had been. What in the world would she have used to fill the void left in her people's hearts by the absence of their faith? Her system of merit might inspire the naturally talented minority that would directly benefit from it, but the vast majority of her subjects would be left adrift and uncertain, with no comfort to cling to as their way of life was burned to the ground and left as ruins and ash.]
Yes, I'm afraid there are a number of creatures here who love nothing more than getting underfoot.
[Such as the thunk-rattle of Pebbles shoving his snout into the window, demanding to be a part of the conversation now that he'd been left outside. Just look at that fond exasperation; he hadn't asked for this menagerie, but they've been growing on him in spite of his best intentions.]
no subject
[ pebbles no.....honey....Flayn gives him some extra head scritches before she moves to sit down. who's a good wyvern?? who's a good wyvern who keeps dad safe in battle?? ]
I was not aware you took to having animals so much, Father. If I had known, I would have taken in that Hresvelgian Whisker who kept sleeping on our doormat at the monastery.
[ said with a soft chuckle. This house looks...chaotic, for Seteth living in it, but he's clearly happy, so she's happy for him in turn. ]
no subject
But it's no trouble at all! Iced tea, coming on up, [ she answers, making her way to the kitchen as she hums. There comes the soft pad of paws on the porch outside and two abnormal dogs - one part lizard and one blooming flowers along its fur - also make their presence known with wagging tails and snouts up curiously. Someone is in the kitchen! Does that mean food? They hope it means food. ]
no subject
[And you would be right, too. Still, that doesn't mean he's immune to getting attached, once he's been bullied into accepting them as part of the family. Seteth can only sigh at the pair as he sits down beside Flayn, watching them beeline for the kitchen.]
You don't even like tea, remember? You'll only be disappointed.
[And yet, that still doesn't keep them from begging for it every time, or from giving such looks of betrayal, once they're allowed to take a good sniff. Honestly.....]
no subject
But! On to business. She turns to Seteth. ]
Might others from the island have joined us in this realm? I explored the beach for a short while, but I had not run into anyone recognizable.
[ please say ferdinand please say ferdinand ]
no subject
[Will he have to have the headache inducing talk about differing timelines and doubles now? Uuuuuugh.]
no subject
But more importantly-- ]
Not, ah...not Ferdinand? Or Constance?
no subject
no subject
Yeah, Ferdinand is a newer arrival too but... Who your dad mentioned is it from your home and the island. I knew a Felix there, too, but he doesn't remember being there. Or the other Felix.
[ Which is disappointing, to say the least. Either way, Rose hands Flayn and Seteth both a glass of iced tea before finding a seat on the floor with the dogs. ]
no subject
...so he is. I suppose this means I must begin anew.
[ A pause. She takes a moment to think, before her mind catches up with her ears and she has to press about something in particular Rosie said. ]
The "other" Felix?
no subject
[Seteth takes his drink with a soft smile, though his expression quickly grows serious again at the question. It's a difficult concept to grasp, isn't it? All the more so when it involves someone he knows was so precious to her.]
You are familiar, of course, with the fact that history can unfold very differently for us. For example, I fought under Claude's command, while you fought under Dimitri's. There is no way to tell what events or decisions can dramatically alter the course of your life, or the broader course of history itself--the possible points of divergence are truly limitless. Knowing this, then, it stands to reason that there are as many different potential Fodlans as there are stars in the sky.
And just as there are many Fodlans, there can--no, there must be many of those who inhabit them, as well. Any number of an individual could in theory find their way here, from any point in time, from any of those endless possibilities. There are two Byleths here, for example--a man who fought for Dimitri, and a woman who fought for Claude. There are two Sylvains, Felixes, and Claudes, as well. And now..... it seems there are two of you.
no subject
[ She doesn't want to even imagine what it was like for her and Seteth in that particular world.
Flayn listens carefully, and when Seteth is finished, it takes her a moment to respond. ]
I see. So that is how you are already acquainted with me.
[ She's curious, about this version of herself from another world, but honestly, after everything else that's happened today, she's not entirely sure that she wants to go down that line of questioning. She's tired, she's upset Ferdinand won't remember her, she's upset that there's clearly so much she's missed while she was, what? Dead? This is exactly what she's afraid of on an existential level. She wasn't around, so the world moved on without her. ]
no subject
It is, [ Rose answers. But because she does know a little more about Flayn now having another version of her in the simulation, well... It does make things somewhat easier in some ways. ]
And, hey, anything you want to know- We're both more than happy to fill you in when you're ready. You can stay here, too, for the time being, if you'd like. I know it's probably, like, a lot to deal with.
