TDM #2

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 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.
The Infirmary
    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 no active medical staff, the voice of The Peacekeeper is 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.
WHAT
The second Amani TDM!
WHEN
February 21st, 2022
KINKS OF THE MONTH
★ Dirty Talking
★ Wax Play
★ Cunnilingus / Blowjob
★ Hairpulling
★ Spanking / Flogging / Whipping / Caning
IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE
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. "Based on feedback from current inhabitants, I was able to gather that the drinks at the bar were awful. Also, based on data so far it seems the desire for alcohol correlates to a person's stress levels! Hopefully, making better drinks might help everyone relax."

At the bar on the first floor, a bartender is now assigned to mix drinks rather than The Peacekeeper themselves. The lacquer countertops have been dusted off so that the screens just beneath the surface can be better seen. Soon as someone sits down, the screen will light up and display a menu of featured drinks.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources, each person is only allowed one. That isn't to say you can't share, swap, or find other means to get a taste of a different drink though! Each one even comes with a complimentary slice of cake if you'd like.

While The Peacekeeper knows people are likely hesitant after incidents caused by the cake, part of this special offer is that an order of one of the drinks will come with a credit equivalent to a one-stamp reward. And, if you're lucky, the effects of the drink will get you even more stamps! Everyone wins! Especially you!


The featured drinks are as follows and come in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties:

    Firecracker » This spicy, sweet, and flaming drink comes in two varieties: red or blue. Each one will cause a person to speak a truth although in different ways.
      • The drink with red flames will cause someone to say something risqué. Was that fantasy only supposed to stay a fantasy? Oops.

      • The drink with blue flames, however, will bring out a sadder admission. Something will compel you to share an insecurity or anxiety that you wouldn't otherwise speak aloud. It might be for the best to get it off your chest! Or... it could make things really awkward. Hopefully, it's the former!
    Sangria » A classic (or so The Peacekeeper's database has informed it), this drink mixes fruit and wine to make a tangy treat. Unfortunately, the only fruit readily available is stamina fruit. Drinking a sangria will temporarily cause a large increase in both energy and libido. For those cocked and ready: if you find someone to help you release this sudden burst of sexual energy, you might want to give them a sip too. Those lessened refractory periods will be no joke until the effects wear off.

    Hot Buttered Rum » Rather than warm you up, this drink will cause you to feel freezing cold. The only thing that will get you warm seems to be someone else's body heat. While one might not be bothered at first, the longer the cold settles in the more desperate you'll become to relieve it. You'd really like to be able to feel your fingers again. Time to cuddle up!

    Mojito » This minty, refreshing drink will make your mouth tingle in all the best ways. In fact, you can't seem to curb the desire to want things to bite or suck on and it's strongest when around other people. All you can seem to desire is to taste their lips, scrape your teeth against their skin, or suck on their- Well, you know where we're going with this. The oral fixation will thankfully fade away after a while whether you indulge it 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 on 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 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.

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
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.

Especially considering the adjustments made to the weather paradigm recently. The Peacekeeper has been informed that it was far too warm for some of the residents. As a result, the temperature has dropped to appropriately align with winter months and the hours of sunlight have now shortened as a result. While the snow currently isn't more than light dusting now and again, that may be subject to change. (At least those pesky flowers from the Love Bugs appear to be dormant for now as a small blessing.)

In order to apologize for the inconvenient and sudden shift in atmosphere, everyone will get a cute new winter accessory to help acclimate to the chillier conditions. Enjoy the cozy new addition to your wardrobe! Or whatever excuse for a wardrobe you're beginning to assemble.

Additionally, candles will spawn throughout the main hub, houses that are inhabited, and pathways that people have been tracked as walking along often. Isn't that romantic and totally not just a convenient way to encourage one of the kinks of the month! Why would you think that?

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.
FLY AWAY HOME
After The Creators reconfigured the peace parameters and dropped a Giant Bird on everyone in the simulation, The Peacekeeper has tried to come up with its own solution to keep the beast preoccupied. Although still highly aggressive and dangerous, if it has different prey to chase it might not be as much of an issue between spawn periods.

It takes about one week before The Peacekeeper announces its newest creation to Amani: Bunnerflies! These adorable flying creatures are friendly and uplift the moods of anyone they happen to hop or float by. Yet, they are still supposed to be prey for a Giant Bird and it didn't seem fair to leave them completely defenseless. As many of the simulation inhabitants are beginning to find out, appearances can be deeply deceiving.

As a result, their fur may be soft but the edges of their wings are sharp as razor blades. Careful you don't get caught in the path of one fluttering your way.

They also breathe fire! Thankfully, The Peacekeeper has made simulation inhabitants immune to the flames. Sort of. The only type of heat one will feel is that of passion. Whether that means starting a new project or an intense make-out session, it's up to the individual and how they decide to channel it!
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.

Sexy Stamp Card
Issued by: The Peacekeeper
1 2 3 4
6 7 8 9


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 kinks of the month have changed! Be sure to check this post for what the new ones are. Also, give a congratulations to Niles ([personal profile] cyclopticsadist) as the first person to place on the sexy leaderboard! 🎉

★ The effects of the drinks can be as heavy or light as you'd like! It can be chalked up to differences in alcohol tolerance, non-humanity or not, etc. etc. Also, they can mixed-and-matched! Have fun with that.

★ Have fun with the winter accessories! Pick whatever goofy thing you'd like your character to wear.

★ The flora and fauna page has been updated to include Bunnerflies and the flowers from the Love Bug event. While dormant right now, Spring is just around the corner! There won't be as many as there were during the event but enough that people will be able to play around with them as they see fit in the future.

★ Any questions can be asked right here!

[ He's nodding along, and while he feels the leaf land on him, he doesn't bother with it until Dimitri is just. Reaching out and touching him. Like that. Like it's a thing to do. ]

Oh- uh. Thank you. I...

[ Ah. Yep. Still touching him. Still there. And his fingers graze past his ear, sending a little zap of sensitivity down his spine. He's not sure if it feels good or tickles or both but the result is the same- he snorts, face scrunching up part way as he tries to tilt his head to protect his neck looking like a bottle that someone smashed in from the top down.

Nice. Very cool of him.

cinderhulk: (i will go)

[personal profile] cinderhulk 2022-02-23 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Hm?

[She considers a moment. Honestly, she's better with faces than she is with voices, but...

Ah. That soft voice!]


It is I, Shyvana. And you're Corrin, yes?
bestswordmaster: (postskip I have questions)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2022-02-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. Who else would I be?

[...besides the other Felix, maybe. But whatever.

He still doesn't know what 'uploading' means, but he knows from context that it's more or less synonymous with arriving here. His brows lift.]


That recently, huh? ...what's the last thing you remember before coming here?

[He really hopes this is his Seteth. If he doesn't remember all those conversations they had during the war...about Rodrigue, especially...well. Maybe it wouldn't change much, but still.]

[personal profile] dadministrator 2022-02-23 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I am a Digitized Technical Friend. It is my job to help ensure your stay here is as pleasant and peaceful as possible.

[The answer is plain and immediate, the DTF sitting up on its hind legs to address Claude--while Seteth, meanwhile, takes a moment to even realize it's him being spoken to, let alone that the voice is familiar. How often does Claude get to see him quite so out of it that he manages to visible startle him?]

I-I suppose you're right. Then..... what do you make of all this?

[He believes it, if nothing else. It's a familiar, gutwrenching horror and despair, seeing Fodlan--no, seeing the world reduced to such a state. He remembers surveying nothing but a charred, ruined husk as far as the eye could see, everything reduced to poison and rubble and ash, tainted and shattered by the Agarthans' malice. Their hatred had been like a lingering curse, sinking into the earth and murdering even the hope of new life yet to come. But Sothis won't save them this time, will She? Her love had been repaid with nothing but betrayal, over and over again. They've already long since thrown away their second chance. And now that the war is finally over, and he'd dared to start to hope again.....

He should have known better, honestly. Seteth doesn't reach for the drink just yet, but he does give it a dubious, searching look. Does he dare to trust something they have to bribe him to order, given what the island's refreshments had tended to do to people?]

[He shakes his head.] No, I came in with the first batch. I want there to be an alternative to cake around for anyone who comes in hungry. [There's a healthy dose of bitterness in his voice. Once Byleth takes the bowl Niles sits back down and crosses his arms.]

I'm from a world somewhat like this one, a patchwork of sorts with people from other realms, but my home country was called Nohr. It was a dreary place, locked in a war of attrition with a more prosperous neighbor. [He shrugs.] I don't miss much about it besides the prince I served.

[personal profile] perfectteatime 2022-02-23 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well I do prefer stew to cake.

Is there anyone else here from your world?

[Glenn is in the middle of trying to figure out how to ride this damn pegasus - Moralta - without spooking him or getting bucked off. Having no experience with riding a creature that can fly, it doesn't take much for Glenn to call it a, well, morning, for now. Pegasus and rider eventually land again.]

Ah, good morn--



... [Oh HOLD ON. HOLD UP HOLD UP. Okay. Okay okay. How. Did Dimitri get so hot?? HOW.]



[Glenn clears his throat, face absolutely beet red. Moralta cuddling his head over Glenn's shoulder, however, is familiar and a bit more grounding. And warming. The air higher up is definitely colder than on ground level. His fingertips still feel slightly numb.]

...Morning. I'm-- I'm good on-- on firewood.

[THINK UNSEXY THOUGHTS THINK UNSEXY THOUGHTS.]
cinderhulk: (close your eyes)

[personal profile] cinderhulk 2022-02-23 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
The weather does not bother me.

[But she imagines that much is obvious as she works through the snow with little concern. She does feel the cold, but it hardly impacts her the way it would most other people, clearly.

The question earns a bark of laughter and she looks away.]


It is fair to ask. No, I am not, albeit that hardly stopped the Mageseekers from coming for me.

[There's frustration and bitterness in her voice, and she shakes her head.]

I am a dragon, despite all appearances.
cinderhulk: (throw off that body)

[personal profile] cinderhulk 2022-02-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Very cute. She has no doubt that this man has a warrior's body by all perception, but that heart is soft enough to flatter. She likes it.]

You also appear quite strong. I like that.

[Another log ripped in half, but she pauses before she gives a bow of her head.]

Shyvana, member of Demacia's Dragonguard. ...Well, formerly now, I suppose.
cyclopticsadist: (i turned your brother into a bottom)

[personal profile] cyclopticsadist 2022-02-23 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Just one. [Said in a monotone with a glance at the ground. But Niles doesn't want to talk or think about that, so he does what he does best. Deflect and harass. He may be doing a good charitable deed here, but he can't risk people thinking he's a good person all around. He leans forward and rests his elbows on the table, his chin in his hands.] Well go on then. Tell me how you like my hot juicy meat?
dadministrator: (pic#14348574)

[personal profile] dadministrator 2022-02-23 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
And what other leads do you propose we have?!

[There's nothing patient or calm in his tone now. The demand is strained and snappish and immediate, before he even has time to register that the voice is familiar, let alone turn to see who it is. Even as he does so, he's soundly ignoring the DTF perched on the railing of the bed, pulling insistently on his shirt to try and draw him back into it.]

Heartbeat and respiration rates have elevated to unacceptable parameters. Please lay down until these symptoms subside.
perfectteatime: (ive played this game a thousand times)

[personal profile] perfectteatime 2022-02-23 06:04 am (UTC)(link)

cyclopticsadist: (Huh??)

[personal profile] cyclopticsadist 2022-02-23 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. [Uh-oh.] You know him?
dadministrator: (pic#14348576)

[personal profile] dadministrator 2022-02-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Who can say?

[Seteth reaches up to scrub wearily at his face with his free hand. Who else had he expected it would be? He's honestly not sure. Hadn't thought that far ahead, in truth--his thoughts feel more like a jumble of static than anything logical or coherent. But what does he remember?]

I think..... I remember we were fighting. The island was overrun by those rotting creatures again, and the tentacled sea monsters that accompanied them. It looked like you were still holding your own when I fell.

[At least, that's the last he remembers seeing of Felix, before the searing radiance of Abraxas had blinded him for the last time. Had Felix been trying to close the distance between them? He can't quite remember; it had been difficult to discern anything but the distinctively graceful flash of the man's blades through the tumult.]
perfectteatime: (CONSUME PRILOSEC)

[personal profile] perfectteatime 2022-02-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We met.

[ That's all Niles gets before Byleth puts his food down, walks over, and soundly punches in in the nose. Not only that, but he's going in for more, attempting to knock the man to the ground so he can sit on him and just. Go to town.

He offers no explanation, and boy if this man does not have the most indiscernible expression on his face while he's wailing on this unsuspecting guy.

I wouldn't trust that cake, or the drinks. They do things to you.

[Forgive the 6'1" man standing at the bar looking bored, and a little... Disappointed that the silvery hair didn't belong to a certain setter he'd played against in high school. Not Sugawara, but Tooru's going to give advice to this stranger anyway, having fallen victim to the spice cake his first time waking up in this place.]
cyclopticsadist: (Ew)

[personal profile] cyclopticsadist 2022-02-23 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Niles only gets halfway to standing by the time Byleth decks him, meaning the impact gets him badly off balance and he topples to the ground. He wasn't expecting that, but maybe he should have been. Corrin promised not to tell Leo, but this man clearly knew enough of what happened to pass some much needed justice. Corrin's all encompassing ability to forgive was truly impressive, but when it came to himself it left Niles with a bad taste in his mouth.

Byleth's been kind enough to replace it with the taste of blood. Niles resists, but only to make sure the punches keep coming. Some people get turned off from beating someone not fighting back. He kicks at him when Byleth mounts him, but makes no attempt to buck him off or roll from underneath him. He blocks a punch here and there, and every strike he returns with is a sloppy opening in his guard. His pathetic aim is believable though, as he's got his head turned flat against the thankfully carpeted floor, good eye down, blind socket up to receive his punishment.
]
bestswordmaster: (postskip losing patience)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2022-02-23 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[What a bizarre thing to say. Seteth doesn't look so good; in fact, he looks downright frazzled, which...is new, as far as Felix is concerned. Throughout the war, the man was stalwart and strong, commanding troops from the skies with serene confidence and acting as an anchor for Felix in particular when things with Dimitri and his father got to be too much. The only time Felix can remember seeing Seteth out of sorts was when Flayn was kidnapped by the Death Knight, but that was less vague confusion and more outright panic.

Wait...rotting creatures? Sea monsters? And--]


The island. You came from the same place Byleth did, didn't you? I was there. That's what he said, too. But I don't remember any of that. And he didn't say anything about a fight, or...

[Felix's brow furrows deeply, gaze dropping.]

Or your fall in battle. If I was holding my own, I should have been there to watch your back.

[personal profile] catarmy 2022-02-23 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Drawn in by the lovely smell of food, Raine's interest only heightens when they're just in time to see Byleth absolutely assault some guy who looks like he'd fit right in on a pirate-themed bodice ripper.

[The moment blood is drawn, though, they shudder at the pleasing smell, cheeks flushing. And the lovely spectacle of the one-sided brawl only makes them hungry. And horny. God damn, does Byleth have wonderful fighting form.

[...They should probably intervene, but... Eh. Byleth has given them the impression that this is unusual behavior for him, and so therefore, it must be for a good reason.

[And the sight is, frankly? Hot as fuck. Eyepatch's blood looks like a nice meal, too.]


...Huh. Wonder what eyepatch did to make you that mad, Byleth.

[Because anger can be either hot and fiery, or cold and icy.]
dadministrator: (pic#14348576)

[personal profile] dadministrator 2022-02-23 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
I-is that so?

[Wait, what? For a moment, it feels like his heart stops outright. He had tried to set aside all else to focus on finding shelter, but hearing that--he's not sure what to think, let alone how to feel. A sick, bitter rush of homesickness, an uncertain flicker (unfounded, no doubt--and what is it even for, exactly?) of hope, pure bewilderment, the lingering grip of paranoia and hesitation..... Who are the Mageseekers, and why had they wanted her? In what world do dragons look like her? Should he..... say something? Offer sympathies, at least?

Ordinarily, if he were less out of sorts, he's sure (he thinks, he hopes) he would be more poised in the face of such a revelation. It's not so strange, after all, is it? If the people here come from countless different worlds, odds are good he would meet someone ostensibly of his own kind eventually. Logically, he knows that--but being abruptly confronted with it like this, so soon after waking up and receiving such dire news about the state of the worlds? He's left at a loss.]
dadministrator: (Default)

[personal profile] dadministrator 2022-02-23 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine so. You would be a different Felix from a different Fodlan, if you don't remember.

[That much, at least, he doesn't sound remotely surprised or confused by. It figures. Felix hadn't remembered anything last time he had turned back up either, had he? So..... back to the start again, then. He's too exhausted to even manage to be properly upset over the idea.

It's easiest to assume that the starting point is similar, at least--for all his disdain towards Dimitri, Felix is a loyal man. Odds are highest that this is a Felix from the Blue Lions, who had faithfully served his king for the entire war. Or at least..... for as much of the war as he had currently experienced, whatever point he had lived up through. That would mean he's familiar with a Seteth who had stood behind Dimitri as well, wouldn't he? What a shame he's not actually the man Felix wants to see.]


You--no. He was preoccupied with his own foes. There's only so much any one person can handle at once, Felix.
dadministrator: (Default)

[personal profile] dadministrator 2022-02-23 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's a start.

[That's..... about all he can say, to be honest. It's better than nothing, realistically, no matter how much it still feels like nothing. Two people he knows for certain, at least. An unspecified handful of familiar people who are not quite strangers, but not quite comrades. All the rest, strangers, united only in tragedy. A simulated world for restless digital spirits, sheltering them from whatever desolate wasteland their AI caretaker's servers were somehow miraculously still functional in.

Silver linings. Better not to think about it. Seteth strokes Rosie's cheek instead, moving to tuck her hair behind her ear, and wonders if he can will himself to stop thinking at all.]

Yes, I'm Corrin. It's a pleasure to meet you face to face! Ah ...

Really though, I would hate to impose on your evening. Even if parties aren't your cup of tea, you should enjoy yourself.

[ Just when Corrin was beginning to doubt whether it was a good idea to attend the party or not, a familiar voice calls his name -- all the chatter and background noise drowns out to silence as the prince turns his head to follow the direction where the voice had rang from.

Once that familiar green head of hair is in his view, Corrin sucks in a gasp that takes his breath away - his mouth falls agape and his ruby eyes widen in surprise at the sight of his retainer and dear friend standing there, a sight he almost couldn't believe was real.
]

... Kaze?

[ Wordlessly, Corrin apprehends the loose white fabric of his garment in his hands and hurries across the room as fast as his legs could carry him, throwing his arms around his beloved retainer in a tight, warm embrace. ]

K-Kaze! You're here...!

[ Kaze feels himself start to settle into a familiar vigilance over their surroundings as Corrin's surprise makes itself clear across his face. Even if the situation had more or less gone pear-shaped back home it doesn't mean that he should give up his duty.

Even if it seems it is a duty he failed in.

Those line of thoughts scatter when Corrin doesn't hesitate to wrap his arms around him, and a brief look of surprise is etched onto the ninja's face, hands hovering to almost return it in kind. But, he knows he shouldn't, considering his failure. ]


My lord—yes, it seems that we've both made our way here.

[ For a moment, he closes his eyes, and moves to take a step back out of the embrace so he can drop to one knee before Corrin. ]

Though I am happy to see you once again, I know for a fact that I am unworthy. I have been unsuccessful in being able to protect you.
