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.
- 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.

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:
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.
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.

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!
★ 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.

WHAT'S YOUR DTF STATUS?

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.
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

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!

But then he says it's not poisoned?? There's an element of confusion to his expression, and now Corrin is even getting...embarrassed?
He can't quite understand it. Maybe someone slipped some weird sauce in it instead or something and it was embarrassing? No, that can't be it. ]
...My lord.
Whatever you have to say or reveal...I won't judge you, I swear it.
no subject
When you eat the food here, it gives you the... um. The ...
[ how the hell was he going to phrase this ]
Desire? T-The urge... to ...
[ come on, Corrin, you useless noble ]
You know--
[ he makes vague gestures with his hands. ]
Y-Y'know what I mean?? Like-- Ah...
[ more vague gestures. he's trying SO HARD. ]
Things? It makes you-- want to... do things. T-Things-- that are... [ he raises his eyebrows and tries to articulate what he's saying with his body language with even more gestures ] L-Like... you know-- the birds and the bees...
no subject
And then he does it, which is done in a very awkward manner but Kaze can pick up what he's putting down here. So Kaze is just standing there like Niles came around the corner saying one of his terrible innuendos. ]
...What?
[ . . . ]
And who is responsible for this, exactly? Who...
[ He trails off, and starts thinking that it clearly could be the cooks? Is he going to have to go after them?? ]
no subject
[ Corrin looks a touch more serious for a moment, intent on shielding nothing from his retainer. He had to just come out and explain it. ]
It's-- It's hard to bring up as you saw me try, but... it's important, so I'll have to swallow any embarrassment I feel and give it to you straight.
[ he can hardly look at Kaze as his face boils up with colour from his cheeks to the tips of his ears. ]
I don't know what I was expecting in the afterlife, but it... certainly wasn't this. This place... is... under the rule by a thing called... The Peacekeeper, who relies on... something it calls "peaceful interactions" to sustain life here, and gives out rewards for those who do. I guess in order to encourage "peaceful interactions", the food here is tampered with to make people more... prone to certain desires.
[ he closes his eyes and sighs. ]
If you couldn't guess...
[ corrin leans over and shields his mouth with both hands as he whispers: ]
"peaceful interactions" is-- it means ....... .... having sex.
no subject
At least the embarrassment is clear on both of their faces now. ]
I appreciate the sacrifice you've made in informing me of the...situation. And I don't think any less of you, milord.
[ Gods... ]
...So, this Peacekeeper must do these things in order to keep things the way they are. I have to wonder if it might be an excuse.
[ He's trying to phrase these things delicately and is slowly dying on the outside. No wonder his lord had such a hard time...though, speaking of which. ]
All the more important that I'm here to help keep you safe. But, I hope you have managed to remain so in my absence, at least.
no subject
I-I'm okay, though. I promise.
[ A tiny lie, but... his heart was in the right place. Okay, a big lie.
The truth is, he had a very bad run-in with Niles. But if he told Kaze about what he experienced, Niles would no doubt be found dead in a pool of blood with a cluster of shuriken in his back. Definitely not ideal.
Corrin felt bad for withholding this information, but in order to grant Niles some safety at the very least, he did what he had to do. Besides... he didn't want Leo to know. Corrin didn't want to sever that tie between his brother and his own retainer.
He just sighs and places his head on both of his palms. ]
Honestly, I'm just relieved you're here. The only person I've seen here is Niles. He came from a different timeline, though. So, apparently things like that can happen here. The last memory he had was before I made my choice in the war. [ and branded Corrin a traitor and injured him while being intimate with him while he was under the influence of cake but hey!! it's fine!!! ]
no subject
[ A bold statement. But if they cared for Corrin deeply, truly, and he has no doubt that they did, then they wouldn't even allow this to make them feel ashamed due to what his liege has experienced.
Anyway, he'll nod, accepting the lie as he has no reason to question it. It truly is for the better if he doesn't know, and in this way there will be peace kept between them. ]
I wasn't aware that it was possible for others to come from a different timeline, but since we're still here, I don't think it's impossible. Not that I believe it would change his character by much.
[ He could be wrong, but it's Niles, so... ]
no subject
Thanks, Kaze. I'm so glad you're here, I can't... even begin to tell you. [ seriously. he's. so glad. from horny cake, to all the shit on the network, and everything else in between - he is relieved beyond all measure to have someone he knows here. who he trusts and cares for.
Corrin is currently looking - and feeling - pretty darn jaded after their exchange following the network broadcast and he just... is done. he's so done. he wants to go back to his tree house and just Not Exist Here. ]
... [ he glances down at the half glass of sangria in his hand. He lifts up his gaze, extending the fruity drink to his retainer. ] I think I'm ready to go back to my tree house if you'd like to join me. Do you want the rest of my drink, Kaze? It hasn't made me change. Not the same way the food did. Perhaps drinks are safe after all ... it's really tasty so... the offer is there if you want to take it.
no subject
"But knowing you're here, in this place ... has made me feel so much safer and happier already."
There's a moment where he simply smiles with understanding. And then indeed that exchange occurs...well, he'll try (and fail) not to think too hard on it. On the other hand, with Corrin stating that the drink are a non-issue, and he doesn't seem to be affected by it now despite Kaze looking for signs, the retainer nods. ]
I don't mind at all, and I thank you kindly for the offer, milord. Of course, I will also accompany you to your tree house. I've made it clear that I will stay by your side, and I don't intend to break that promise.
[ Then, he'll begin to down the sangria glass so that they can make it swiftly back; whatever the case, he is prepared to follow Corrin. Whenever they start to make their way there, out of curiosity, he'll ask: ]
Has the tree house always been here?
no subject
If Kaze wasn't here, that is probably action he would've taken, he thought. After all, using his dragon form to flee had been his method of coping until now.
As they make their exit, Corrin shivers - feeling the cold air touch his bare skin was more than a little uncomfortable. How had the climate dropped like this? The outfit hat he was given by the Peacekeeper did nothing to insulate him. ]
Brr...! Freezing! [ he embraces himself from the cold. ] Mm, well, me and a few others that I made friends with here have been renovating some spaces to call our own. There's a lodge by the lake that a couple of them are housed in, and my treehouse is on the property in the garden. Since I was already used to living in a treehouse back home, I figured it made sense. I've grown quite fond of it, even if ... it needs a bit of work.
[ the windows weren't insulated and the roof was leaky, but renovations concealing those things would be provided one way or another without Corrin even realising it...
it's not long before they reach the lake that curves around the lodge where the others lived, and Corrin's modest little treehouse was in sight. He climbs the ladder and turns to Kaze with his arm extended in order to help him up, flicking the light on to show a modest little living space - almost like a one bedroom apartment - but with the same rustic interior aesthetic that a cottage would have.
The windowsills were lined with candles which ... were't placed by him. He more or less accepted that it was just another part of the strangeness of this place. The main room looked comfortable enough, with a small wooden staircase leading up to an attic where Corrin's chambers were. ]
Ugh ... what a night. [ He sits down on the sofa and scoots to the side, making room for Kaze to join him if he so wished. Interestingly enough, he wasn't tired. At all. In fact he was ... brimming with energy. ]
How are you feeling, Kaze?
no subject
Anyway, when Corrin states that he is cold, Kaze will instinctively come closer, hoping that their lack of distance will chase away some of the feel of the frigid air around his lord. But also, he will raise his hands to the scarf he's currently wearing; having arrived in the clothes he wore last does mean he feels the chill on his own chest, but he doesn't want Corrin to freeze. ]
I will do my best to help you with fixing up the tree house, then.
[ ...He probably sneaks the scarf around the other's shoulders or something before they even enter into the treehouse (or at least he tries to.) Chalk that up to ninja skills!
Anyway, he will take his hand when Corrin extends it to him, and soon he's looking around to evaluate their new surroundings. ]
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure as a whole. I am relieved in the end that I've a chance to still be by your side, though I believe I'm still adjusting to being here at all. And the situation we're in.
But ultimately I'm alright.
After everything, I must ask the same as you.
[ He too feels rather energized. Though, it is something he notices acutely and wonders if it has something to do with wanting to be aware of their surroundings. But...he'll shift one weight from one foot to another, like he's a bit restless. ]
no subject
Boy did his words ever ring familiar about how it was to adjust to the circumstances of his arrival. It took Corrin a while to wrap his head around the nature of this place - but he seemed to have a good idea of how it worked now. ]
I wasn't, but I am now... I really missed you. [ with Kaze now sat beside him, the prince rests his head on his shoulder - but doesn't close his eyes as ... the tiredness wasn't there. It was a gesture to seek affection, not rest his head. The line of his eyes glances up at the man sat beside him, with Corrin feeling a strong element of risk at the question he was about to ask his retainer. ]
... Kaze. Can I ask you something?
no subject
You once again honor me with your praise. But, for you I am willing to exceed any limits.
[ That's probably not surprising, but still...the green-haired male feels easily the other's head against his shoulder, and that is a surprise in of itself. Though it's one that Kaze would term it as 'pleasant', even if he wonders if that's professional. In the end, does it matter? It makes Corrin feel more comfortable clearly, and he's happy to have him lean on his shoulder. ]
Yes, of course. What is on your mind?
no subject
[ Corrin shifts and removes himself from the other, fixing himself intently on those purple eyes. ]
...Kaze. [ Colour fills his face as he begins. ]
Whether we like it or not, sex is an important part of this place. On my first night here, I... lost my virginity. In a blur. With a stranger. It was... I mean-- it wouldn't have been my preferred way to do it. It's... not how I imagined it would happen, not in a million years.
[ then the Niles Thing happened which another thing to unpack in itself. Corrin takes in a deep breath and gazes intently the other. ]
And so... I want to do it right this time. With someone I care about. I want to do it... with you. [ a breath, a pause. ] Would you have sex with me? [ Corrin bites his lip slightly, afraid that Kaze may take his request as a duty more than anything. Clarification was absolutely needed. ]
I’m not asking you this as my retainer. I’m asking you as yourself. You can say no. Don’t feel obliged to do anything you don't want to, it would upset me greatly.
1/2
Kaze believes he should've figured, but it hadn't exactly been confirmed by Corrin to be the case. The implications were more or less there, what with the mentioning of the food and all, but...well, either way it doesn't make him see Corrin differently. He ensures to watch the other's face or indication that his first time was not...well, he can't imagine it was done under ideal circumstances, but he doesn't want them to have been done under the worst possible.
Ideally, it'd be best if they haven't at all...and yet, here they are.
With Corrin asking him to have sex with him. Kaze, for all his training, can't hide the surprise regarding that, and he considers his response carefully, after the other's follow-up. It is true that a part of him could consider it a duty under certain circumstances. But... ]
I...
2/2
My Lord, there is something I must confess. Back when that misunderstanding occurred where it was thought that we were married, a part of me hadn't truly wanted to correct what that woman had said. The idea of being by your side...I've treasured it not only because of my duty. But because it is you.
I will forever remain loyal to you, no matter what. But the happiness and affection I feel when I'm with you are not rooted in duty.
So, my answer to you is this:
I would.
[ Purple eyes gaze at Corrin's own as he allows the full brunt of his words to sink in not only for himself, but for him as well. ]
no subject
Getting to be intimate with someone he knew, trusted and care for so deeply was going to be brand new and fresh. He couldn't wait a moment longer. ]
... Let's not waste any more time, then. [ Leaning in, Corrin seals his lips over the other's, granting him a soft tender kiss as he closes his eyes. ]
no subject
He'll move his arms to encircle Corrin's body as well, to pull him closer as he almost thoughtlessly but eagerly even deepen the kiss. It's not the first kiss he has shared, even if it is not something he makes a habit of engaging in for what should be obvious reasons. ]
no subject
Pressing his weight to his knees, he moves to straddle Kaze where he was sat on the sofa, heart rate and breath quickening with his arousal burning through his body. While it pained him to do so, he broke their kiss, only to murmur a single word against Kaze's lips, his voice thick with desire. ]
Upstairs.
no subject
Of course, Lord Corrin.
[ Kaze recalls easily the positioning of the wooden staircases and so with one hand firmly grasping one of Corrin's hands, he moves to glide up through there. Once the door is opened, Kaze goes straight to work, fingers deftly undying the knot holding pieces of armor and clothing in place. With them gone alongside those pieces, he immediately throws off his top half in record time, baring his top chest to the elements. His hands will also start on the lower portion as well as he moves closer to the bed... ]
no subject
Kaze ... [ he hums against the other man's neck while circling his hands around his upper body, murmuring against the skin. ]
Please don't call me Lord Corrin while we're doing this. It'll make me think that you really are performing a duty as my retainer. [ The cheerful laughter that leaves him should reassure Kaze that he wasn't truly disciplining him. It was banter, although his request was very honest. For all intents and purposes, he still very much was Corrin's retainer, but right now Corrin only wanted Kaze to see him for what he was: not a noble, or a lord, but just himself.
Now half-dressed, Corrin knew that the other needed to catch up: he apprehends Kaze's purple scarf with both hands and pulls it off over his head, his eyes immediately following the line of where Kaze's exposed pecs were windowed in his ninja garment. He tugs the white rope of his belt piece free as he cannot resist planting a kiss on the patch of exposed skin, before he unclips and slides off the rest of his own clothing, leaving him in his boxers. His face flushed and his heart pounded the more and more layers they lost, with Corrin's eagerness shining in his ruby red eyes. ]
no subject
...I promise you I'll refrain from doing so in the midst of this.
[ He's relieved that Corrin doesn't isn't angry with him. He has addressed the lovely man in front of him as such for so long that despite his own feelings, even in an intimate setting it feels like second nature. But those thoughts leave him as he smiles to himself, feeling the kiss, and following suit. ]
At least I'm also certain that you like what you see, Corrin.
[ After Kaze is done with his pants, he is left in just his fundoshi, and he moves even moreso so that they are so close to the bed, so that they can settle there comfortably. However, in between the transition, he leans to press a swift kiss to the other's exposed neck, then once again those lips of his lord's.
