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!

"It's not bad being on my knees. It's formal where I'm from so I'm used to it." He looked over at her in the chair and frowned. "Isn't a bed more comfortable for you? You can share it with me or I can trade you for the chair if you like. I'd like you to be comfortable however you like Miss Dorothea. It's the least I can do for asking you to stay with me."
no subject
Standing from the chair, she moved to lie beside him, propping herself up on her elbow and looking down at him.
"Are these markings natural or are they tattoos?"
no subject
"Both." He says simply and then sits up in the bed cross legged. A clawed hand reaches for his own cropped shirt and lifts it up to expose more of his chest and the markings there. "These ones are tattoos, all the ones on my chest are but the ones on my face are real. I have a few real ones in some other places too but I don't think you want to see them." He keeps his shirt up, exposing the piercings on his own nipples for her. "They look cool right? My horns are sorta for show too. I mean they are real but they aren't red. I had my boys help me paint them like this."
no subject
"They do look cool," she says, her voice colored with amusement. "Do you ever paint your horns different colors? Or just red, to match your markings?"
no subject
"My gang has helped me paint them a few times. We did a rainbow once that looked really cool. I keep them red cause it kinda just matches everything you know? The only color I won't paint them is blue. There are blue and red oni and that woukd be confusing if they were blue seeing as how I'm a crimson oni afterall." He took her hand in his larger one and let her touch his horns, letting go of her right after. "Smooth right? I try to keep them in the best condition I can. They take a lot of work ya know? Kinda like upkeeping your nails. Which I mean I do too. Gotta keep the claws sharp!"
no subject
The texture of it is rather surprising--there's a thick layer of coarse guard hair, but then incredibly soft fiber underneath. It's unlike human hair entirely, more like the hair of a densely-coated hound from the northern reaches of Faerghus.
She runs her fingers through his hair until she reaches the pointed tip of his ear, and that brings back a memory that's best left forgotten, so she makes a move instead of dwelling on it.
"How do you feel?" she asks. "Don't you want to touch me, too?"
no subject
"M-more...Miss Dorothea pet me more. Please." He leans into her, his arms going around her waist to keep her close. His grip isn't strong but he also isn't going to let her leave him now. There is a decently obvious bulge in his pants and he shifts to adjust himself. He's nudging at her hands to continue petting him, his eyes closed tightly. "I want you to touch me. Touch me anywhere you want please." He's practically begging at her for anything she will give him.
no subject
"All right, all right, come here." She rolls onto her back under him so she has the use of both her hands, reaching up and carding her fingers through his hair again, scratching his scalp tenderly. His straining erection is obvious to her in their current position, but she'll get to that later.
"This outfit of yours is so complicated. Take this off for me?" she asks, tugging at his collar and the straps on his chest.
no subject
Eagerly he lets go of her to reach behind him and take off the bow first. He tosses it to the side and soon after his jacket follows and finally his purple top. He leaves the black straps and his collar on for her, hoping that's enough clothing removed for her liking. He goes to touch her again and remembers some of his other spiky parts, tossing of his bracelets which land with a thud to the ground and then his belt. He doesn't want to stab her with anything, that would make her stop her petting him and he didn't want to stop that. "Better?" He straddles her, keeping himself above and not touching her but clearly wanting to. If he could he'd rest his face in her chest and never move.
no subject
When he complies with her request, Dorothea loops her fingers under the straps and uses them as leverage to flip him over without warning. It's easier this way, making herself comfortable beside him while he's laid out on his back. First things first, she leans down and gives him a little kiss on the lips since he's been so good and cooperative. He's earned that much.
From there, her fingers trace a line from his jaw down his throat, following the red markings to his chest and feeling where the texture of his skin changes ever so slightly, noting where his natural markings end and the tattoos begin. From his sternum, she strays to his nipples, which are pierced with little bars.
"Didn't this hurt?" she asks, tracing around his areola with her fingertips. "I can't imagine doing this for myself. What do you think? Would you like to see mine?"
no subject
"Did...did you just...flip me?" It's not that he thought her weak, he just knows he's kinda big and no one really ever gets him on his back like this except a small handful of people and it amazes and turns him on more. His face is red and his hands stay at his side, not sure what to do with them.
She kisses him and its short and sweet and he follows her a little when she pulls back, wanting more. She smells so incredibly good this close, kinda like flowers or something. Whatever it is he wants more and his hands finally move and caress her face. He's mindful of his claws as he holds her, pulling her in for another kiss. He's practically shaking with excitement at all this affection he's getting.
"Nah it didn't hurt much. But A-ahhh....oh. that feels really good." His brain almost short circuits as she touches his piercing. The sensation has him turning a bright red. "Wait...you're going to show me your boobs?" He sits up at that, moving Dorothea so she is sitting in his lap. This is something he can't do laying down. "Are you sure? You wanna do this right?" He can't help but stare at her chest as he speaks. He knows it's wrong but she's offering and it's all he can think about now.
no subject
But she'd rather not--she'd rather kiss instead, giggling when he pulls her back in for more. When he sits up, she braces her hands on his shoulders.
"I wouldn't ask if I didn't mean it. I'm not that much of a tease," she says, adjusting herself slightly so there's enough room between them for her to actually disrobe. In her Fódlani dancer's attire, it's easy enough to slide her shoulder out from the single strap, letting her breasts spill out.
Her skin is pale, marked with a few little scars here and there, rosy nipples pert. He's so eager that she can't help but ask: "Have you ever seen a woman's breasts in real life before?"
no subject
Her breasts are beautiful and perfect to him. He's seen some art before, his kitsune books do get a bit spicy but in person he decides that breasts might be his new favorite thing. Yes he does like how they look.
He's on the verge of drooling with how he's looking at her. He shakes his head to answer her question before prying his eyes off her chest to look at her. "Not in person like this. I don't really have luck with the ladies back home. Um not that I try a lot either. I ugh...yeah no these are a first and they are really pretty. Can I touch them?" His hands are fists at his sides as he waits for her okay. Maybe it's the cake but he's almost sweating at trying to keep his hands to himself, it's almost as hard a task as how hard his dick is right now.
no subject
When he asks to touch her, she takes his hand in hers, just as he'd done a few moments before. Holding them wide, she guides him, showing him how to cup her chest carefully to avoid getting nicked by his claws.
"You can kiss them, too, or lick them if you want. Just be mindful of those teeth of yours, hmm?"
no subject
"You're amazing Miss Dorothea" He mumbles from his spot in her chest. He turns his head to lick at one of her breasts, shivering from how it feels under his tongue. Oh he does like this. Again he licks at her, his tongue teasing a nipple. He let's out a moan as he continues to lavish her breasts, his hand squeezing and rubbing her other one.
no subject
Her head tips back, in part to avoid getting jabbed by his horns, but also to give him better access to her chest.
He seems to like her breasts well enough, so she decides to let him play for a while just to see what he does. Maybe his curiosity will lead him somewhere interesting.
no subject
"Miss Dorothea you taste so goooood." He moans out and pulls back from her, a hungry look in his eyes but there is still that innocence. "Do you...want to taste me?" He's never had anyone licking at him before but he thinks it might feel good if she wants to. "Or can I keep tasting you?"
no subject
"Hmm. Not bad," she teases. "Why don't you show me more? We can figure out what other differences there are between humans and oni. What do you say?"
For emphasis, she shifts her hips slightly, bringing their hips closer together so his straining erection is pressed firmly against the juncture of her thighs.
no subject
"Aah...Dorothea you're so good...Mark me more please? I want to be covered by your kisses." He is completely serious in his request, moving to get any and all remaining clothing off him as best he can without moving her. He manages to get his pants off somehow and is left in just his black fundoshi. His cock hard and peeking out of the Fundoshi from all the touches. Like his body it's covered in red markings and a strange ribbed texture, not much like a normal humans.
"Is this good enough? What else can I do to make you happy?" He would get on all fours and bark like a dog if she asked him.
no subject
Now that she's seen it, she'll admit she's curious. She scoots back on his thighs to get a better look at him, taking the opportunity to slide her dress off as well. It jangles as she sets it aside, leaving her in nothing but a thin pair of panties.
"Lie back a bit for me, hmm?" She gives him a gentle push then leans down to do as he asked, kissing and biting all down his chest, and even down his stomach. The tie on his fundoshi is undone with a bit of fumbling, allowing his cock to spring free--and what a cock it is.
He's not human, so she isn't sure what she was expecting, but she reaches out to stroke it curiously. The head is adorned with what look like barbs, but they're soft to the touch. Farther down, thick ridges stand out against the shaft, and she wonders if she's wet enough to take him yet.
She clears her throat.
"Say, can you use that tongue of yours on... more sensitive places?"
no subject
He does as told and lies back but keeps his eyes ever on her, his tongue licking his lips in anticipation. It's only when she starts kissing his body again that he breaks eye contact as his eyes close and he throws his head back in pleasure. Every kiss leaves a warmth on his skin and he has to grab at the pillow behind him tightly to make sure he doesn't hurt her. As it is he can hear the pillow's thin threads already ripping from his claws.
"Dorothea you're a goddess...so pretty...beautiful...perfect..you're the best" Her touch on his cock has him ripping the pillow and moaning louder. It is only a simple touch and yet he's already dripping in precum.
It takes him a moment to register her question and he isn't sure what else his tongue can do but he will try anything for her. "I'll do my best. Where can I taste you?"
no subject
"I think you'll like this," she says in an intentionally sultry voice, rolling off him to shimmy out of her panties. She's a little wobbly on her feet when she stands up on the mattress, but it's the fastest way to straddle his head, stepping carefully so she doesn't tread on his hair.
Hands braced on the wall, she kneels over his chest to give him a moment to look up at her, then uses her fingers to spread the folds of her sex.
"Right here. Do you want to give it a try?"
no subject
When she stands over him it's taking him everything not to grab her and shove his mouth there but he knows he could hurt her and he desperately wants this again so hurting is off the menu. He does wrap clawed hands around her waist as he leans in, mindful of his horns.
"I..I hope this feels good miss dorothea. I wanna make you happy" He looks up at her with wide blown out crimson eyes as he carefully tongues at her opening, his forced tongue slipping in different places as he lacks. She tastes so good that he has to moan and his grip tightens a little as he holds himself back as much as he can. His tongue soon finds her clit and rubs against it ,trying to taste all of her.
