TDM #1

[amanimods]

Welcome! Everything is fine.

Uploading. . . Complete!

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 died and so did 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 in 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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Throughout the main hub where everyone congregates, a light chiming to the tune of Happy Birthday can be heard. "Hello, everyone," comes the synthetic voice from when you first arrived. "This is so exciting! It's my birthday. I'm today years old!" There's the sound of a single party blower that echoes through the halls and sad, small spattering of confetti fall from holes in the ceiling.

"Based on the database I was given, birthdays usually involve cake!"

At the bar on the first floor, a colorful birthday motif materializes. There are balloons, party hats, an unfortunately deflated bouncy house, and - of course - plates of cake!

There are four different flavors to choose from!

★ Spice Cake » After eating a piece of this cake, you might feel a bit spicier than usual! Your character will be more inclined to take risks and care less about what others around them might think of public displays of affection. Why not make-out with that attractive person at the bar? You can't seem to think of many reasons to stop you anymore!

★ Lemon Cake » Despite the situation being perhaps a bit grim, eating a piece of lemon cake will cheer you right up. You'll feel as bright as sunshine and nothing can seem to get you down! Characters will also experience an increase in luck thanks to their good mood. Perhaps now's the time to try and shoot your shot with someone you've had your eye on for a while. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you won't be feeling dejected! ...Well, for now. That'll probably still happen later once the effects wear off.

★ Chocolate Cake » Dark and rich, this cake will have your thoughts taking a similar turn. Consuming this cake comes with an inclination to indulge in darker fantasies. Perhaps you've always wondered what your partner looks like tied up or with a knife against their skin. The red raspberries decorating the top of the cake's frosting suddenly call forth images of blood and you may have a sudden desire to taste that on your tongue instead.

★ Vanilla Cake » Eating this vanilla cake won't have you feeling plain. Instead, you'll feel softer around the edges than usual. Even if it's normally not your thing, cuddles and tender kisses sound amazing right now. All you want is affection and to be affectionate in return. Nuzzle that person's neck, take in their scent, and just enjoy the warmth of them being close. Do you know them? Who cares! You will before all this is over and, hey, now you know they're a great hugger (or not).

If you're feeling especially 'peaceful' after a piece of cake or two and worried about privacy, don't be! The bar's lounge has several secluded spots to hide away in. There are also rooms with beds among the first floor. So long as you don't mind the natural elements taking up some space along the sheets, they're free to use however you'd like. Though you might want to make sure to lock the door since it's doubtful you're the only one looking to get away for a little bit.

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.

Once that's set-up, there are other locations of the main hub to investigate! You can still order a (terrible) drink at the bar, 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.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Once the celebration has concluded, characters are encouraged to head out of the main hub to either explore the city or take a ride on the railway. It's time to truly begin your new reality! Whatever they choose, The Peacekeeper will explain to them that they are free to take up any housing they so wish. Most dwellings are at least habitable but it's likely that characters will want for more before long.

That's why 'peaceful interactions' are so 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.

ALL FLUFFED UP

Whether in the city or out in the wilds, the first night will see an abundance of living dandelions. While they appear to be nothing but regular dandelion tufts, get too close and a pair of bright yellow eyes opens to stare at you.

The creature will let out the tiniest of shrieks, break apart into smaller pieces, and scatter. It sets off a chain reaction of other living dandelions startling awake. It's a symphony of tiny screams. Before long, there's nothing but miniscule white puffs skittering all about wherever you look.

"Oops," sounds The Peacekeeper throughout the simulation. "My calculations for the population of living dandelions was... a little off. Not to worry, everyone! I'll have it fixed by tomorrow."

What The Peacekeeper fails to mention is that living dandelions give off a soothing pheromone as a defense mechanism once they break apart. No matter how wound up your character might be after the day's events, being surrounded by living dandelion tufts will relax them before long.

Why not enjoy the sunset, look at the stars, and have a good night's sleep? Tomorrow is another day.

corrin | fire emblem fates | not sure on timeline just yet... mid-revelation mayhaps

[fatefulprince]

happy birthday!

[ <sub>One minute you're fighting a war, next minute you fall on the battlefield - without so much a glance as to who landed the finishing blow. The arrival to this strange new place was ... slightly unsettling, but also a tiny bit reassuring - all circumstances considered. Corrin lived his life forever walking on the side of optimism, and figured he would try and navigate through this with as much grace as possible.

As would any prince, Corrin's upbringing - albeit locked away in a tower - was filled with all sorts of fine refreshments, with cake being one of them and a firm favourite of his. He didn't particularly feel like eating, but ... it was a (literal) slice of home. The aroma and sight of the spice cake had caught his attention, helping himself to a piece with his mind looping on thoughts of his family and friends who were no longer with him. And while he sat with wandering red eyes peering for anyone he may recognise, a few forkfuls of the slice his thoughts stagger from idle worry and concern to:

Wow. That's some really good cake!

In fact it was so good that Corrin's silver dragon tail had spawned at the start of his back, an occurrence that only happened when he landed a critical hit in battle, or any other surge of strong emotions. Clearly this was the best cake he'd ever eaten if it made this sort of change happen to his body.

And just like that, the slice was gone, and yet his tail remained - slowly wagging as a dog's would. With his sweet tooth itch scratched, it was time to wander the crowd to seek a familiar face ... at least, that was the plan.</sub> ]

[blaiddydblood]

[ That sure is a boy with a dragon tail.

Dimitri actually isn't sure what to make of it, exactly, at first. After the battle at the monastery all those years ago, his view of dragons is... complicated. Not taking into account the draconic nature of it though, the man just finds it- Cute. ]

Looking for those you might know, too? [ He recognizes the way that Corrin's eyes scan the crowd as Dimitri had already done several times over by now. ]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{Corrin turns in the direction of the voice he heard just now, looking up at the other man stood before him. While he did not recognise Dimitri from his own or neighbouring kingdom, his appearance was comforting somehow - seeing another clad in armour had Corrin believe that the other man was in a similar cause for being here as he was.} ]

Oh! I am, yeah.

[ _{The half-dragon prince remained oblivious to his tail, expecting it to disappear in the coming few minutes. But it ... just doesn't. It probably won't, either, unbeknown to him.} ]

Haven't had any much luck so far, though. How about yourself?

[blaiddydblood]

[ Dimitri will try his best (and absolutely fail) to not get distracted by the sway of his tail. It's just... peculiar. Not in a bad way, of course, but he's unused to those with animal features on display still. ]

I have come across a couple of individuals who were from my home, but there are many more still unaccounted for. I have to hope for the best although it is cause for concern.

[fatefulprince]

Yeah, cause for concern is the right way to put it. The arrival circumstances were ... quite unsettling, to say the least. Perhaps I should feel reassured there are none I recognise from my home here. I hope they're okay.

[ _{Corrin extends a hand out of courtesy for a handshake. He's smiling, but he looks a tiny bit sad.} ] My name is Corrin, what's yours?

[blaiddydblood]

[ Quite unsettling, indeed. Dimitri still isn't sure how to take all of the information. He'd declined the offer of 'proof' since... Well, he's already watched everything and everyone he loved die once. And then been haunted by their phantoms for years to come so- He didn't really want to, you know, go through all that again if he could help it.

Dimitri takes his hand and gives it a firm shake. ] Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Corrin.

[bestswordmaster]

[Felix may not like meeting people's eyes when he talks to them, but he doesn't tend to walk with his eyes downcast. So he's not looking down when he passes by this pale-haired person, and thus doesn't see the tail before he trips over it.]

Gah!

[He manages to stay upright with a bit of stumbling, then turns with a scowl.]

Watch where you're--...going. You have a tail.

[Wait, wait a minute. Sure, the tail is weird, but now that Felix is looking down, he's also noticing--]

Why aren't you wearing shoes?

[For some reason, he sounds more put out about the latter than the former.]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{Oh Gods, he's mortified! Corrin swiftly picks his tail up off the floor and grasps onto it with both hands, in a bid to prevent further disturbances.} ]

Oh! I'm sorry! Er-- yeah, I have a tail. Don't be alarmed, I'm half dragon. My tail spawns sometimes, usually when I'm sparring, but it doesn't hang around like this. It normally just disappears.

[ _{definitely the dragon version of an awkward boner. thanks, spice cake.} ]

... Hm? [ _{like Felix, Corrin also looks down at his feet as well (CORRIN YOU ALSO NEED TO CHECK TOO. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE YOUR OWN FEET OR ANYTHING)} ]

Oh, I never do.

[bestswordmaster]

Half dragon?

[That makes no sense to Felix, who has only ever seen a dragon once and, prior to that point, didn't think they existed at all. Besides, how would a human and a dragon--wow, no, he does not care.

He perks up a little when the man mentions sparring, but he gets distracted by this inexplicable lack of footwear. The answer only seems to aggravate him more.]

That doesn't explain anything.

[fatefulprince]

Then... I'm none the wiser? Sorry. I don't know why my armour was designed to fit me without shoes, but I've never had a problem with it. Even when outside over all kinds of terrain and war zones. Maybe it's the dragon in me.

[ _{He pauses before an accusation pops up.} ]

And I'm sure that me falling in war didn't come from a lack of footwear.

[bestswordmaster]

Huh. Perhaps in addition to your dragon tail, you'll someday have a dragon's talons.

[Felix's brows lift slightly.]

So you came from a war, as well. Do you remember falling on the battlefield?

both boys having spice cake is a recipe for... well.. spice probably

[grandtrashking]

[That sure is a tail he's seeing on that stranger, and Tooru's beginning to wonder if the spice cake he ate a piece of himself earlier that was making him feel fuzzy and warm was also making him hallucinate as well.

So instead of trying to find others he may know, Tooru just gets as close as possible to inspect said tail.]

Is that real?

[Perhaps the cake took some of his smarts away as well.]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{The sudden inspection from the other boy startles him a little as he certainly was not quite expecting such a forward statement regarding his dragon parts and personal space. He apprehends his long silver tail with both hands, turning to face Oikawa while flustered in surprise} ]

Oh! Er - yes, it is! ... Doesn't normally stay out like this, though.

[ _{Corrin studied Oikawa - noticing just how.... different he looked to those back home. No armour, no weapon, no signs of war ... he'd never seen anyone like him. He could certainly feel some questions forming in his head regarding where the other boy had arrived from, and so he begins with one.} ]

I take it I'm probably the first dragon you've met?

[grandtrashking]

[Any smart person would have flinched at the sudden reaction, and while Tooru is smart, said smarts are not quite All There at the moment. Although on closer inspection, keeping exactly where he was this time, Tooru notes mentally that this other boy is dressed different than what's normal back home.

Either a cosplayer or something this weird dream has concocted.]

Well, yes. Dragons aren't real where I'm from, not unless they're from works of fiction like books or movies.

[fatefulprince]

Ahaha, well, I'm not a character from a book. Hopefully this doesn't disappoint you! [ _{His tail flicks with amusement, colour filling his cheeks with no thanks to the cake slice he had eaten.} ]

You can touch it, if you want. See how real it is?

[grandtrashking]

Not at all! If it's alright with you, I'd love to.

[In fact, it excites him as he stares at the tail more. Maybe a little more than he should be with the influence of the cake he ate.

Curiosity wins out and he reaches for the tail and gently touches it, carefully brushing a few fingers against the scales, eyes lighting up at it being very much real.]

[donoteattheweeds]

[Striking someone with a tail that comes off of someone human-sized would, in all likelihood, probably cause that person to stumble at the very least, or perhaps entirely knock them over at worst. Corrin's tail comes into contact with someone-- hardly unsurprising, considering that he's going through a crowd-- but this time, it's like he swung it into a brick wall. Or, perhaps, a brick shithouse, considering the man whose leg he smacked.]

Ah. My... apologies?

[That apology would be a little more certain had Dedue not been surprised at what he was struck with. He had, at first, thought that someone had bumped into him with a bag or something, not with a reptilian appendage. He doesn't often encounter someone who's just walking around with a tail sticking out of them.]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{The contact made Corrin startled and turn quickly to see what he had struck, looking up to see Dedue standing there - unmoved by his tail. The prince felt an incredible surge of embarrassment due to this little misfire, his cheeks reddening in colour.} ]

Oh! No - I should be apologising to you! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there. My tail doesn't normally stay out like this, so I've been having a bit of trouble... keeping it within reach.

[donoteattheweeds]

I see.

[That seems like the most appropriate response to this. He's never met someone who has a tail but only sometimes-- it must be very awkward, if that's the case. It's not a small tail, after all.]

I apologize if this question is prying, but how do you only sometimes have a tail?

[Appendages are usually one of those things that stay at a permanent number, unless something very bad happens. And you generally can't pack them up and put them away in a drawer when you don't want them.]

[fatefulprince]

Well, in short, I'm half-dragon. I age and live as a human would, but I can also turn into a dragon and have dragon-like appendages form, such as ... my tail, for instance.

[ _{Corrin looks down at his own silver tail, picking it up with both of his hands and holding it out the way of anyone who may be in stepping distance of him while he speaks with Dedue.} ]

It's so strange, though. Usually it appears in the spur of the moment, like in the heat of battle, and vanishes soon after. It doesn't normally linger like this. Have you met any dragons before?

[donoteattheweeds]

[Half dragon, what a strange thing. Dragons are mostly regarded as mythical in Fodlan, something that may have once existed but no longer. To see a true example of the species-- or, at least, one that has dragon parentage-- is quite unexpected, though it's hard to disbelieve him when he's got a very real, very dragon-like tail coming out of his body.]

I have not personally met any dragons. Where I am from, there are wyvern, of course, but true dragons are widely considered to be long extinct, if they existed at all.

[Well. There is one thing...]

I did once see a creature that fit many descriptions of a dragon. It was during battle, however, so I am unsure as to what I saw, and I did not see it for very long.

Canon Point is post warriors, aka mid revelations choice chapter

[cyclopticsadist]

[Niles recognizes and notices Corrin rather quickly, ignores him and immediately scans around the room for Leo. If there are other people from his world here, then sure his Lord must be somewhere. But his search is fruitless, and eventually he goes back to shadowing the half transformed prince. By the look on his face he's clearly had some cake already, getting more flustered and needy by the moment. Zero peeks up from where she'd nestled inside his hood to peer over at Corrin quizzically. She chitters something unflattering in his ear then ducks back into his hood to remain out of sight. With a smirk he sidles up behind him with feather soft steps then, entirely on purpose, plants a foot directly on his tail just as Corrin takes a step forward.]

Oops. Clumsy me. [The complete lack of remorse in his voice would be obvious to most, but from what Niles has seen of Corrin around the army he's almost painfully oblivious to ill intent, even in the midst of obvious conflict.]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{Corrin yelps in surprise at the sensation of his tail being stood on, his body being jerked back with the motion which catches him off balance, causing him to stumble a little. Predictably so, he was completely clueless to any ill-intent caused by the gesture, readying himself to blurt out an apology for being in the way to the person trying to get past him once he found his footing - until he turns around and notices exactly who stood on his tail, his mouth widening a beaming smile at the sight of the mischievous archer.} ]

Niles! You’re here! I can’t believe it!

[ _{Then: The realisation hits him, Niles is technically dead. Corrin may have felt happy to see a familiar face as he had hoped, but the weight in knowing what has lead up to this point saddens him. His smile softens and his brows arch with sadness, with him starting to wonder if more and more soldiers from his army would appear. But little did Corrin know, this Niles was from a timeline that had taken place a lot earlier than when he fell - a timeline where they were both allies, sharing banter and getting to know one another in his castle. It’s only natural that with this history Corrin is unable to hide the pang of sadness he feels for his fallen companion.} ]

Oh no ... if you’re here, that means -- Oh Niles, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?

[cyclopticsadist]

[Niles snickers at the stumble, but lifts his foot obligingly when Corrin skips right over being annoyed and starts making those big puppy eyes at him. Sometimes he finds it hard to believe that he and Leo are related. Corrin so immediately and genuinely expressive, Leo stoic to a fault, striving to be calm and collected in all but the most private settings. Although Leo is also undoubtedly related to Elise, the family resemblance there is too strong to doubt, so perhaps the 'earnestness' of the family simply collected and festered in the two youngest siblings. As for his question, Niles gives a noncommittal shrug.]

Sure. I mean I wasn't exactly deeply invested in Aytolis' fate.

[He'd chosen to watch the destruction, expecting to see Hoshidan and Nohrian armies on familiar battlegrounds leaving nothing but corpse choked rivers and burned fields, but instead he was treated to a montage of fabled heroes cut down by hoards of faceless Gristonnian soldiers. A dour spectacle to be sure but not one that pulled much of a reaction from him. Leo hadn't been among the corpses he was shown, so maybe the portal home really had worked for him. He's caught between hoping Leo managed to survive the jump back to their original dimension and selfishly wishing that once again he'd stayed by his prince's side as they slipped through the cracks between worlds.]

But you, tender little thing you are, must be positively distraught. [He says this with a smile, a dark urge welling in his gut to see Corrin's face wracked with despair and grief. He probably hadn't chosen to watch the apocalypse. Maybe there's some way Niles can bring him back to the hub, convince him, (Zero's voice in his ear whispers or trick him) into watching it.]

[fatefulprince]

Ayto-where? Is that an area of home I don't know about yet? [ _{That's the best theory Corrin could lend to himself so far at the very least, the very idea that this Niles was from a timeline that wasn't his hadn't even crossed his mind. Corrin picks up his tail with both hands, fidgeting with it while he speaks.} ]

I've ... been in better ways, yes. I'm sad that things lead here. It was going so well at home ... it was incredible seeing Hoshido and Nohr in alliance with one another, both of our armies coming together ... all royals, all retainers... I never imagined I'd see the day. I just can't believe fate had other ideas... and that I'm here now.

[ _{And also the fact that his body is burning from the inside out from arousal but, y'know, emotions are a nice distraction and all that.} ] But don't worry about me. I'm just glad you're okay.
