TDM #6
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.
- 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 a few tremors happening. If you'd like, there is cake and some refreshments."

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.
Once that's set-up, there are other locations of the main hub to investigate! You can visit the training grounds, music lounge, library, and onsen. Also, feel free to leave an offering for the resident deity of sleep (Hypnos) at his shrine! 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.
SHAKING THINGS UP
"Hello, inhabitants," greets The Peacekeeper. "I apologize for all the tremors lately in the simulation," it starts, just as one rattles through the setting. "I promise I'll be done working soon." They've been occurring for days now but have been nothing more than a subtle rumbling.
Until now.
"Making final geographical adjustments... Please, hold on to something." There is less than a moment's pause before the warning needs to be heeded. A large earthquake suddenly jostles the entire simulation harshly along with a deafening noise to the east; however, the cause will be apparent. Where before there was nothing but plains stretching out infinitely past the simulation's 'barrier,' there is now a large mountain range. It has snow-tipped peaks, plenty of pine trees, and- "After the trial that was Hiromitsu, The Creators decided to allow me the resources to upgrade and add to the simulation! This is only the beginning, actually, but the rest will take a little bit more time. Until then, I hope you don't mind exploring the mines and helping me test some new features."
There is a brief pause where it seems like that might be all. "And I hope that... it makes up a little for me not being there for you during Hiromitsu." The usual chipper, simulated voice sounds just a touch melancholy. Instead of the regular chimes to signify a broadcast ending, there is instead a small click and nothing but silence.
Until now.

THIS PLACE ROCKS
For those that do decide to investigate the new addition to the simulation, they'll find a sign above a large cave entrance that reads "Dymuniad Mines." Entering the cave will lead people to a series of underground tunnels akin to a labyrinth with as many metaphorical twists and turns as there are literal. Don't mind the mild tremors that continue as some of the pathways shift and change while The Peacekeeper works. They are now, thankfully, localized to just the mines.
So grab a torch, go for a joy ride in a mine cart, or set out on foot through the deep dark. Either way, here's what inhabitants can expect to find...
Hemimorphite
Population: Common
Biome: Dymuniad Mines
Danger: Mild
This strange, soft-looking rock formation draws people in with a sweet scent similar to cotton candy. The closer someone draws to it, the happier they will become. Should one lick it, they will find that it tastes rather sweet; however, it will leave one with more than a candy aftertaste. It is a psychedelic that will cause hallucinations - both visual and auditory - as well as intense feelings of euphoria.
Honey Calcite
Population: Common
Biome: Dymuniad Mines
Danger: Mild
If feeling one's way along the dark tunnels, don't be surprised if there comes a spot where you suddenly stick. Trying to pull away will only find one even more stuck than before. The only way to pull free is by using heat but too hot and it'll become a sticky, syrupy mess and be a nightmare to get off. The body heat of two people seems to be just right the temperature to free anyone stuck but... make of that what you will!
Iris Agate
Population: Common
Biome: Dymuniad Mines
Danger: None
If you get a little lost in the mines, don't fret! This stone will guide your way when shone under the light correctly. Oh, it won't show you the way out. Rather, it will guide you toward someone you need to talk to. Whatever that may mean! You'll be directed towards them whether you want to actually speak or not.
Miniature Cave Golems
Population: Common
Biome: Dymuniad Mines
Danger: None
Don't be too alarmed if that mossy bundle of rocks starts to move about. Held together and animated by a magic of an unknown origin, these tiny golems 'awaken' when anyone gets close. While golems are usually used for manual labor too large for the average person, it's hard to say what these miniature ones were made for or by who. They are, however, extremely cute and will happily follow or ride along with you through the tunnels.
Rock Slimes
Population: Common
Biome: Dymuniad Mines
Danger: None
If you happen to come across small bites taken out of the Hemimorphite, the source likely isn't far behind. These slimes are immune to the psychedelic effects of the formation but still get the euphoria from it. This results in them making tiny chirps and happy noises that may sound suspiciously like 'woo hoo' or 'yay.' They are friendly and docile but can only survive in the dark, dank conditions of the mines. Trying to remove them is ill-advised.
Zubats
Population: Common
Biome: Dymuniad Mines
Danger: Mild
These creatures make their home in gloomy caves. Atrophied eyes have left this Pokémon blind, so they scan their surroundings via sound waves that they emit from their mouths as they fly. Their skin is so thin that they'll be burned if sunlight hits them. When it gets cold out, they gather together to warm one another's bodies. While they will not attack inhabitants, they may use high-pitched sound waves to confuse and disorient if they feel threatened so they can escape.

CREEPY CRAWLIES
In addition to the new geology, there is some new fauna to be found. The Peacekeeper is still adding to the mines as far as flora (beyond basic moss, mushrooms, and other fungi). For now, these creatures hopefully help it feel a little more alive.Miniature Cave Golems

WHO IS THAT I SEE, STARING BACK AT ME?
Lucky (or unlucky, if you're lost) inhabitants may find their way to the crystal lake. This large, underground pool of crystalline water is lined with large chunks of cubic fluorite and larimar covering the bottom. It holds an ethereal glow although there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that would cause the shine.
If one goes to the edge of the water, their reflection might not be what they expect. Instead of what it should be, it's instead what the person looking into the water most desires. This could be interpreted in many different ways. Do you look like you'd always dreamed of, is someone next to you, or is it someone else entirely staring back into your eyes? Whatever the case may be, it isn't always easy to be faced with our most secret desires unexpectedly.

- » If you choose to look away because you do not want to face what this odd reflection means, the next time you look it will be just you again. Nothing will happen.
» If you choose to accept what the reflection is trying to show you, the reward will be a tiny crystal flask washing up near your feet that holds some of the water for you to take. For what purpose? Who can say.
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

★ Due to the shifting tunnels, characters will only find themselves eventually back at the start of the mines rather than anywhere new. ...For now, anyway!
★ The effects of all the influences can, as always, be as heavy or light as you'd like! It can be chalked up to differences in resistance, non-humanity or not, etc. etc.
★ The flora and fauna page will be updated (as well as the locations) as soon as possible to reflect these changes and recent ones! It's also still open for player suggestions! All you need to do now is link your check-in (or player claim) comment to make a submission!
★ Why not check out the ATP/EMP Meme now up? See who others want to try out, enable your friends! Fun all around!
★ Make sure to dunk your questions/feedback in the thread below!

no subject
He looked at his DTF and then at Sizhui and leaned forward, resting his arms on his knees. "So should we talk about that place you used to be at or um...should we talk about.....sex..." He said the last word a bit more softly then the rest.
no subject
Sizhui's eyebrows arch inquisitively, his expression softens and he outstretches a hand to rest it on Itto's shoulder. “We can talk about whatever you are most comfortable with. If you'd rather we not talk about the latter thing, I could talk about my home before this one and we'll see where we go from there.”
no subject
"So um... well.. I mean we could maybe do that thing for stamps...It would be nice to get more beetle bros for Crimson Cyclone to make friends with and such. I mean if you want to." He was blushing but he kept eating the cookies, practically stuffing his face.
no subject
A quiet, thoughtful hum comes first while he considers what exactly they could do while aboard a train, and as he thinks, he does wonder: should they wait until they've reached his cabin? Because performing in a somewhat small space might be burdensome... unless— “Actual intercourse may be difficult at the moment, but uhm.” Gods, his face is already red just thinking about it, but. “I could go down on you?”
no subject
He was so distracted by talk of lollipops that he hardly remembered what their previous conversation on train activities was about but something Sizhui said had him confused. "Wait, why would you go down on me? Did I drop something?"
no subject
Being as close as they are, it'd be impossible to ignore his blush or the sheepish way he averts his gaze again, and yet he tries his hardest to meet Itto's eyes before amending, “No, it means something else.” He rolls his lips, wondering exactly how he should explain himself, the faintest smile quirking his lips at the edges. That's terrible, he shouldn't say it, but now he's sort of obligated to make the joke, isn't he? “What if I said I wanted to suck you like a lollipop?” How ridiculous, and he's still smirking despite it.
no subject
He does perk up at the idea of Sizhui becoming an honorary member. "Sure! First ever honorary member of the Arataki Gang, Sizhui. I like the ring of that." He didn't mind their closeness and maybe it was the cake or his own need to be close to others that made this position comfortable to him. So Sizhui wanted to suck him like a lollipop, that was something he understood a lot better and it made him feel like he had bugs in his gut. He wasn't sure if he was excited or not but he knew he did want to know what that felt like. "Can you? I've never been used like a snack before, sounds fun."
no subject
“It does sound rather nice, doesn't it?” His elders back home would punish him something fierce if they knew he was joining a gang that does who knows what but, just because he's considering it, doesn't mean he'll abandon his cultivation practices or something as absurd. He allows one hand to drift higher on Itto's thigh, fingertips skimming along the inside then moving over the top and up toward his hip where he pauses briefly, his head tilting so he can brush his lips over Itto's cheek before murmuring, “It's only the beginning of the fun we could have together.” Those fingers move again, along Itto's abdomen, down his groin and between his legs where he kneads his palm against his cock through his pants.
no subject
When Sizhui palms him through his pants his eyes flutter closed and his lips part in a silent moan. It feels really good and almost like the mood has shifted. Sizhui is closer than he has been the whole time and is almost like he's a different person. Itto kinda likes this spicier Sizhui and his cock does too, twitching a little in his pants at the friction. "What else could we do together?"
no subject
He isn't deterred though, especially not after noticing the way Itto's mouth falls open and his eyes sink shut. In fact, that spurs Sizhui on, coaxing him to draw closer, his other hand reaching to cup Itto's cheek. “That depends on what you would like to do,” he remarks, taking the other man's chin between his thumb and forefinger, guiding their lips together in the softest, experimental kiss. “Once we arrive at my home, I have the proper things we'll need if you... want to go further.” His fingertips trace over the line of Itto's dick, his eyebrows lifting in half-astonishment because wow, what heavenly immortals blessed this guy? Suddenly, he's wondering how much he'll be able to take just with a blowjob, but again, he's not hesitating. “For now, why don't you help me get your pants undone, hm?”
no subject
The kiss is soft and he licks his lips as soon as they part. He's still all smiles and joy and is eager for whatever Sizhui is going to do next. "We can do whatever you want, just can I get another kiss first?" He doesn't mean for this to stop so he unbuckles his pants in the meantime, tossing his very spiky belt aside.
no subject
His eyes become half-lidded, Sizhui's smile widens into a full-on grin then he lets out a quiet chuckle. “Of course you can,” he assures, lowering his hand to slip his index and middle fingers into the collar around Itto's neck, which he uses to pull him in so he can kiss the oni again, lingering a little longer this time. “I like kissing, so we'll do that as much as you want.” While he's still up in the seat beside him, anyway.
no subject
"I wanna kiss you a lot. You taste amazing!" He enjoyed the slightly longer kiss and this time his own clawed hands found purchase in Sizhui's hair, pulling slightly to bring their lips together again for a longer kiss.
no subject
“Then you should keep kissing me,” comes the soft suggestion, though he won't have to wait long, given how quickly Itto's hands find his hair and pull him back in, earning a breathy little moan at the delightful tingling sensation it sends through his scalp. He parts his lips slightly, letting the tip of his tongue dart across Itto's bottom lip, his fingers abandoning the collar for now to lower and start working Itto's pants down off his hips.
no subject
"Ahh Sizhui...buddy..you feel really good. More..please I need more.." He parts his lips to give Sizhui some entrance into his mouth, letting his tongue meet his. Once the grip on his collar stops he is reaching lower for Sizhui, his big hands trailing down his back to pull him closer, practically forcing him to sit in his lap.
no subject
“So do you and don't worry, I'll give you more.” He lets his tongue delve inside Itto's mouth, kissing him deeper, adjusting his position on the seat and swinging a leg over both of Itto's, this way he's straddling his lap, his opposite arm moving to hook around the other man's shoulders to steady the faint wobble in his body when those hands drift down his back; it wouldn't do to make a fool of himself, not after they've just gotten started.
no subject
With Sizhui kissing him so deeply and strocking him on his lap, it's enough to have him almost seeing stars already. He comes back from his lack state and holds him tighter, his own tongue dancing along Sizhui's. He moves a hand lower to cup sizhuis firm ass, squeezing it.
"Ah..siz..sizhui you feel so good" He can barely put a sentence together as he Jenks into Sizhui's hands, wanting more.
no subject
He doesn't let up with the kiss either, licking Itto's tongue, tracing over the line of his teeth (even the points of his fangs), and softly catching his lower lip before pulling away with an abrupt squeak once Itto's hand moves to grab his ass. Sizhui's whole face turns a brilliant shade of red, he downcasts his gaze to watch Itto thrust almost fruitlessly into his loosened fist, smiling mirthfully then upturning again.
While he knows he could tease him mercilessly, that just doesn't seem fair to the poor oni, so he curls his fingers and strokes him again, nuzzling their noses together in a sweet little gesture before suggesting, “Would you like me to use my mouth on you now?”
no subject
The squeak is way too cute and Itto can't help but smile and nuzzle his nose back at the other. "Yes please. Do whatever you want to me Sizhui, I'm yours." He says innocently, not really knowing the full meaning of his words but he does know he wants Sizhui to do anything to him. "What can I do to you in return? Where should I touch?"
no subject
However, he's relieved to see Itto smile in kind, the slightly apprehensive tension fading away and his shoulders relaxing after their noses rub together a second time. “Careful now,” he warns teasingly, twisting his wrist in an upstroke then circling his thumb over the head of Itto's cock, the other hand reaching to hook that collar again. “I might consider keeping you.” A gentle tug, just so he can tilt Itto's chin and leave a kiss near the corner of his lips, and that's followed by an almost noiseless sigh, despite the smile in his voice. “You can touch me wherever you want, I'm not too picky. As for what you can do to me in return... hmmm.” His attention downturns toward their seat, he contemplatively tips his head then suggests, “Would you do the same for me? If you lay down with your legs over the seat, I could straddle your face and teach you a thing or two.”
no subject
The tug on his collar really is something he's finding he likes. Sizhui's touches in general are just surprising him left and right. When he suggests teaching, Itto lights up and pulls Sizhui against him as he moves and lays down across the seat, mindful of their DTFS. "So you're gonna straddle me now right? Am I going to get to taste you too?"
no subject
Albeit with blatant reluctance, he releases the strap again and removes his opposite hand between them, placing the latter onto Itto's chest and outstretching the former to flatten his palm against the frame, this way Itto won't hit his head whenever he moves them both to lie down on the seat. Once he's settled, his hand lowers, scoops up both his own DTF who's still tightly coiled and Itto's beetle on top of her head, then he reaches just far enough across to the other seat that Xiaoyun can unwind, slither her way onto that bench instead and instantly curl right back up. While it gives them only the slightest amount of extra room to work with, that's better than nothing, isn't it?
He draws the arm in, glances down then chuckles softly before extending it to drift a few fingertips over one of Itto's horns. “I will, but only if it's what you want.” Sizhui levels him with a stare, earnest, needy and wanting, yet somehow also understanding if Itto decides otherwise, which doesn't keep him from asking, “Do you want to taste me?”
no subject
The horn touches have his back arching and his eyes fluttering closed. He knew his horns were sensitive but never were they touched like this before. The feel of skin against him there has his cock leaking between them. He could probably even come just from being touched there. "I want to taste you, please Sizhui. I want all of you." He's begging but Itto doesn't care, he doesn't have shame in the act especially if it gives him what he is craving in this moment. And what he is craving is Sizhui.
no subject
His fingers move lower, the whole hand eventually reaching so he can full-on hold the horn's base— not hard, just enough to be felt, this way he's able to gently tilt Itto's face and kiss the spot on his chin right below where his tongue has lolled out. He withdraws then, having been given confirmation that Itto does want the same thing, the hand he isn't holding him with lowering, teasing across Itto's cock, fingertips dragging through some of the cum, which he raises to his mouth and licks away before reaching to start undoing the sash around his waist. “I cannot give you all of me,” a pause, to let the anticipation build then, “yet, but we can use our mouths on each other and figure it out once we've reached my cabin.” With such lovely pleading though, how could he resist?
no subject
"Sizhui can I have all of you later?" He doesn't really know what he's asking but as Sizhui licks his hands from the licking cum from his dick he can't help but shiver at the sight. It's really sexy, too sexy in fact and that shiver is actually a small orgasm, cum splurting from his dick onto his own skin and his body trembling a little. His eyes close for a moment and he leans up to kiss Sizhui, he has to he needs this right now. All he wants is to be touched more.
