TDM #7
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, seek shelter from the typhoon here. 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.
A FOUL WIND BLOWS
For the last couple of weeks, The Peaceekeeper has been relatively quiet save for the mandatory greeting of newcomers. In fact, it doesn't even make the usual announcement that it has before to alert inhabitants of the sudden shift in weather. Blue skies and sunshine gradually begin to darken over. The wind picks up to a frightening gale that will see people likely needing to strap things down and fasten their shutters tight.
However, it's not anything physical that inhabitants will likely end up losing. The forceful rain, wind, and ensuing storm will instead strip away their inhibitions if they're unlucky enough to be caught in it.
What was holding you back, anyway? It's hard to remember or seems so suddenly trivial. It's not an issue anymore. that's for sure! Whether this is about something intimate, secrets kept, or things you know you shouldn't say for any number of reasons don't matter. Self-consciousness and doubt feel like a thing of the past and you're free to chase whatever whims you want!
Hopefully, you won't regret it when the effects wear off in a few day's time.

CLEAN-UP CREW
Although not everyone may be in the mood to buckle down and get to work after the storm blows through, the mess it leaves behind is literal as well as metaphorical. Time to get cleaning! The Peacekeeper has graciously provided a whole host of tools to assist inhabitants in clearing the debris littering the beach and floating in the ocean, including...
- ★ Inflatable Rafts » For those who would prefer to clean the water instead of the beach, these boats can comfortably fit two people in them--or one person, should they choose to lie down. Better grab a partner, unless you want to be rowing in circles!
★ Skimmer Nets » These long-handled tools can extend up to five meters, with nets strong and deep enough to scoop up a substantial amount of debris from the water--or capture most people from the waist up, should you feel more inclined to messing around than picking up the pieces.
★ Brushes » These broad brushes come in a variety of materials to help scrub mud and sand off any buildings that got blasted, from stiff nylon bristles, to soft silicone that might not feel bad being used for a massage. You've earned it after working so hard, right?
★ GET LAID » The state-of-the-art Liquid-Air Impulse Device boasts an impressive number of features, all in a handy dandy device you can wear as a backpack. Not only can its hose serve as a pressure washer, high-powered vacuum, or water gun, but it can also be used as a jet pack! The sky is the limit--just don't forget to land occasionally and refill its tank with water, or you may find yourself in free fall.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING
All your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed!
The mermaids that live beneath the waves of Taasunni Beach are extremely grateful that the inhabitants have taken the time and effort to clean up their home. To show their gratitude, they've decided to let everyone experience the beauty of the once-again pristine ocean for themselves!
Upon request, one of the mermaids lounging in the shallows will kiss inhabitants to fill them with magic. This gift will transform them into merfolk themselves for about 6 hours, allowing them to breathe underwater, swim swiftly, and explore or play in the depths to their hearts' content.
Those who indulge in this, especially repeatedly, may find themselves feeling unusually buoyant and free--as though a weight has lifted from their shoulders, and their troubles are simply washing away on the tide.

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

★ 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.
★ Please thank Love Bug Infy for helping out with this TDM!
★ Make sure to dunk your questions/feedback in the thread below!
★ The locations page is undergoing a revamp! While originally I wanted to have it done in time for this test drive meme, that didn't quite happen. But it is coming soon, I promise!
★ Due to moderator error meaning we are over the player limit already and repeated requests, the player cap has been increased to 50. We are currently at 47/50 slots taken! Anyone wishing to claim a character must have an invite and follow the proper rules in place to be accepted into the community.
★ Also in light of that announcement and since I totally forgot the monthly meme due to being sick... Why not check out the ATP/EMP Meme now up? See who others want to try out, enable your friends! Fun all around!
NAVIGATION
no subject
"I can think of a way you can help me." That is a very loose definition of help but whatever. Fuck it. He feels oddly relaxed about all of this. "And maybe help pass the time while we wait out this storm."
no subject
"Oh, do tell." Yes he knows what Byleth is hinting at but he wants to play coy, he doesn't get to do it often so he'd going to play it up this time. "I think I could use peaceful way to pass the time away."
no subject
"Does that give you a better idea?" He says finally, quietly, and still barely against Squall's lips.
no subject
"I think I have a good idea now..." His voice is deeper then he intended it to come out but he doesn't care, he's pulling Byleth in for another kiss, tongue and all. His hands go up to Byleth's still wet hair, holding him close.
no subject
Byleth pushes into that kiss, almost demanding as his arms slide around Squall's neck. Fuck he wants this so badly.
no subject
He does pull away for a moment to breath, he's panting and when he looks at Byleth and those pretty mint eyes he can't help but lean in and bite at his long exposed neck. It was just there and waiting for it. He doesn't bite too hard, just enough for some pleasure and to maybe leave a mark.
no subject
Well he likes that a lot it seems, because he moans, a hand moving to hold the back of his head there for a moment, arching to allow him better access. The husky whisper gusting against the man's ear as he squirms.
"Do it again."
no subject
"You're really hot." He mumbles between kisses. Squall shifts, wanting to take them both off the floor and onto the nearby bed. He tries to stand with Byleth in his arms and uses the wall behind him for leverage until he's got him securely in his arms and carries him to the bed. They plop down on their sides and Squall breaks the kisses for a little chuckle.
"Sorry, I guess you got me weak kneed."
no subject
"So are you-" Oh- and he's being picked up now and deposited on the bed. Now he's laughing softly, looping his arms around Squall.
"Oh I like you quite a bit." He's tremendously charming in a cute dorky way.
no subject
"Y-Yeah...can I try something out on you?" His words come out a little raspy, still cheery but that dark look in his stormy eyes is all Byleth needs to know how aroused Squall is. He climbs over Byleth on the bed, kissing him once more before trailing those kisses down his chest and to his exposed nipples.
no subject
"Ohh..." Well that seems to be a popular spot with him at least. Even just the slight touch has him squirming.
no subject
He blows a frosty breath on Byleth's nipple, taking it into his mouth and teasing it with his tongue, his hands leaving feathery light cold touches down his sides. More he teases with the other man's chest, pulling back to lock stormy greys with mint eyes. "Do you...like that?"
no subject
"Oh-- yes- I. Hhhnn- it feels amazing." What an intriguing man this one is. Byleth is admittedly, completely captivated now. He isn't one to just sit back though. He uses his own magic to warm himself, heat his fingertips enough to be quite noticeable as he drags them down Squall's back.
no subject
"Ah..that...oh...so...so warm. That feels so good...." He closes his eyes for a moment as a wave of pleasure takes him down his back. It isn't long that his is distracted however, fingers slipping into his own lips as he looks at Byleth. Oh yes he's fully expecting to top with this but he hesitates just a moment in case his lovely and surprising partner might want to take charge.
no subject
His own lips are warm too, and he makes sure to thoroughly coat the area in kisses. Teasing at moving up.
At last he finally pulls the rest of that length free and readily slides his tongue down, leaving a wet trail along the underside. His hand moving to brace it, and it's still so much warmer than it should be.
no subject
Long lashes flutter as Squall's eyes close at the sensation. He grabs at the sheets under him for a moment before instead going for that soft minty colored hair of Byleth's hair, not grabbing too tight but enough to have some sort of purchase. Those lips against him are nice but once his cock is free and he feels that warm tongue against him he can't help the moan that leaves him. "ah..f-fuck..."
no subject
One hand for both, pressing his cock flush against Squall's, he strokes them as one. Hips roll slowly as well, adding to the wet friction and slide. Soft moans slip out, and Byleth presses in close again, resting his head on Squall's shoulder as he moves against him.
"Tell me what you want." The panted words come short in the other man's ear at last, and Byleth's hand twists around them.
no subject
Those thoughts vanish when Byleth's hand and dick are rubbed against him. His back arches a bit as his stormy eyes flutter closed for a moment before looking over at Byleth. "What..whatever you prefer...I don't mind." His own voice is just as breathy, he'd be fine even with just these touches in all honesty but he has a feeling Byleth want's more. "What- ah... what do you desire, Byleth?"
no subject
It's very fast, but it's what he wants the most right now, and he can feel the satisfaction as he sits down, the full feeling inside. With a sigh of contentment, he leans down again and kisses Squall.
no subject
The feel of Byleth's hand on his cock distracts him and he places his hands on Byleth's lovely hips to help him get situated more. He takes all of him in so easily and the feeling of being inside Byleth is so warm and tight that he can't help a little jerk of his hips at first before Byleth is kissing him again. He can't help but move a little, slowly pulling out almost to the tip before sinking back in and shuddering into the kiss. Fuck, he feels good. He keeps the slow pace for awhile and keeps kissing Byleth, his hands running up his bare back and into his short minty hair as he slowly fucks him.
no subject
He tries to move with him, to create more friction, to allows Squall to get the most out of the position as he can. He can feel how utterly hard they both are, and how his own cock is already drooling precum as he gradually speeds up.
no subject
The quickening pace is welcomed and Squall reaches down to Byleth's own neglected cock, wrapping his hand around him and moving it in time to their pace. He reached up too, needing to taste those lips again, kissing him. "By-byleth..ah..so..mhmm." Even if the rain hadn't helped him get in this position, squall's happy he is. He's quickly seeing how much he enjoys byleth.
no subject
"Fuck you feel so good inside me. I could-" He gasps, pulling Squall in close, holding the man's head against his chest as he takes him. "I could do this. All day."
And he could, that's not a lie. Squall is warm and clean, and he smells good. Most of all, he's soft in all the right ways. He squeezes down over his cock, eager to milk an orgasm out of him.
no subject
"F-Fuck! Byleth!" He moans as he rides out his orgasm, thrusting a few more times before leaning back onto the bed and panting for a moment or too, his face flushed and eyes closed. "Fuck....that was...so hot...are you like this all the time?" Give him a few minutes to recover Byleth. He plans to go for round too.
no subject
"Am I like what?" He asks, a genuine question. "I'm not sure what you mean, but this is- mmmh- how I usually make love. If that's what you mean." He didn't do anything terribly out of the ordinary, but that Squall would be so taken with him is charming all the same.
He busies himself with a few lazy kisses, enjoying the moment in between, the quiet intimacy of it.
