The End is Never The End { Permaplay Post }
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, a safe haven until your world is restored," continues The Peacekeeper. "Everything will be fine." It will then explain the happenings of the last few years that led them to this point. Don't worry if you don't get everything or tune out. It is quite a lot!
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 might be 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 or Janis 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
Amani's Permaplay Post for Endgame
WHEN
December 31st, 2024 (and into infinity)
THINGS TO NOTE
★ Kinks of the month are now free-for-all / choose your own!
★ This post and Amani's setting is OPEN TO ALL though to play more privately, you can join the communities. Think of it as a structured musebox!

WHAT'S YOUR DTF STATUS?
If the main hub and its features don't appeal to you, that's completely 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 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 anything. They'll give you service with a (digital) smile though. Despite the temporary status of your stay, The Peacekeeper will encourage new inhabitants 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 nearly 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 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.

AN END & A BEGINNING
If you'd like to speak to who is really in charge instead of The Peacekeeper, it will point you upward to the highest floor of the main hub. The Life Tree there - now tethered to Makmur's main hub rooftop rather than the forest - serves as a connection point between Amani the simulation and Amani the newly born reality.
This in-between is where characters 'true' souls are being held and protected by the recently formed deity of balance, Janis, and can be connected to the other versions of themselves anywhere in the multiverse. Although your origin world might not be restored just yet, it could be fun to see what other possibilities are out there!
The 'true' souls that are sheltered in Amani will be given the power granted to them by Janis to peer into other versions of themselves as well as the capability to even temporarily hijack their bodies as they wish. They will be the seeds of chaos planted in soil of order by doing this and therefore do their part to ensure balance throughout the multiverse. This balance is what will help bring your origin world back as well!
This way, everyone can eventually return home to see things through and even watch over other realities as they wish to see how they're going... and always have Amani to return back to if they need a reprieve! They can also freely go between Amani the reality where things are more stable and orderly or enjoy the chaotic creativity the freedom of the Amani simulation.
As a physical world, Amani will rest in a freshly forming galaxy alongside the planets of Hiromitsu and Sikalina. Characters are free to visit these via teleportation from the main hub, a ferry ride through an enchanted Tori gate off Amani's coast, or just good old-fashioned space travel if they'd like. Sikalina even has now-functioning and fully customizable mechs to jet around in. In the future, other 'restored' worlds will come to join the collection as Janis works with former inhabitants and displaced newcomers to help undo the unnecessary damage their initial split caused.
While Janis' story with Amani has concluded and their powers stabilized now, there are still worlds in flux that may end prematurely and land someone in Amani for the interim. So, there are still stories to be told and adventures to be had so long as people wish to tell them. Not to mention the people choosing to stay rather than return home!
Either way: Amani will always be available and open to anyone who wishes to enjoy it.

THE SEXY COMPENDIUM
Upon arrival to Amani, new inhabitants will be notified almost immediately of the sexy compendium that's uploaded to their DTF! This compendium lists all of the flora, fauna, unique geography, and miscellaneous items in Amani that might be worth looking at.
This database will update with seasonal highlights or places and items that might follow a theme! In light of the theme of new beginnings, the things featured will tie into that.
While established inhabitants already know about all these things, it can't hurt to be reminded of what this simulated (or real!) afterlife has to offer!

- ★ Miniature Cave Golems » Don't be too alarmed if that mossy bundle of rocks starts to move about. Held together and animated by a magic from Janis, these tiny golems 'awaken' when anyone gets close. While golems are usually used for manual labor too large for the average person, these miniature ones are slowly piecing together Amani little by little. They seem to work better if around ambient intimacy so give them a pet or tell them they're doing a good job to see them get a boost.
★ Birthday Cake » Did you know that The Peacekeeper's birthday is soon? Even if you didn't, it's likely that most know what a birthday celebration calls for: Cake! A classic that can be found in the hub at the bar right when character's arrive. They come in four different flavors; Spice, Lemon, Chocolate, and Vanilla! Each having their own fun effect.
★ Mermaids » Near the coral reef in the ocean's shallows, there often swims a mermaid or two. While they were discovered to be linked mentally, they are a collective versus a hiveminded species though their leader Legion does have the ability to watch through their eyes.
A kiss from a mermaid grants one a temporary aquatic adjustment of their own and ability to breathe beneath water temporarily. Though they have the instinct to drown anyone that endangers the reef and the underwater home, prove you mean no harm and they'll leave you be. Unless you venture into the waters at night. During the darkest hours, a separate species of mermaid swims dangerously around the reef. Although it looks like a beautiful maiden from above the waves, below her tail opens up to have a giant maw that catches fish to eat. You would be quite the treat!
★ Stamina Fruit » Every once in a while, fruit off a regular tree will mutate. It's vibrant coloring and strange, curled shape might indicate that it isn't fit for consumption. This couldn't be further from the truth! What you see here is a stamina fruit and will give whoever eats it untold energy. Best find a way to put it to good use.

★ If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns then you can ask them here.
★ Additionally, players can request NPC threads here whether for closure/good-byes or just for fun! (Read: Sol is totally free and single and you finally have your chance, go go go-)
★ You can post your kink connection profiles in this thread for some easy texting icebreaker fun.
★ If you choose to join the communities, you can post your OOC intro here and see who else is available to play with in Amani's setting!
★ As ever and always, thank you to all that made Amani the amazing experience it was as both a moderator and player for the last three years. While sad that it's over, I'm still happy that it happened and the people I got to meet and know along the way. It's meant so much to me, perhaps more than anyone realizes, but as said: All things must end. If you'd like to share some love here for me, the game, or other players then please do!

Lauriel basks in the afterglow for a long minute, holding onto the doll with a soft sigh of contentment. “Adios bless you, for being so perfect” she mummers into the doll’s skin, voice heavy with fatigue. She wants to stay like this for an hour, a whole night.
But all too soon she grows uncomfortable and gently nudges the doll off of her. Shivering a little and reaching into her coat’s inner pockets, pulling a small towel out and beginning to wipe herself off with a small grimace. It’s the one part of intimacy that’s kept her from indulging it, the mess afterwards. She makes a point of offering a reassuring smile to the doll, though, before asking. “I… you may have made me cum hard enough to scramble the past hour or so of my memory. Someone mentioned temporary housing, do you know where that is?” Her tone is awkward, and more than a little hesitant. The lumenflower is still blunting her thoughts but she’s never been in this sort of situation before, and isn’t quite sure how to act.

The doll is quick to respond as Miss Lauriel nudges her off, gracefully disentangling herself and seating herself primly on the bench, uncaring about her own nudity. In fact, the chill of the air is... well, it's not precisely a pleasant sensation, but she likes to endure things, to show what a perfect doll she can be.
The doll considers offering to clean Miss Lauriel, but in truth she only came here with her dress, which now lies upon the ground--a poor choice of cleaning rag. So she contents herself to watch and learn, to be better prepared next time.
"I do," the doll answers, happy to continue being of assistance. She points. "There are apartments to be claimed in that direction. I understand they are serviceable, but the stamps you have earned through our intimacy ought to suffice to renovate. Or you could save them, and with another such encounter you could purchase a home of your own design."
The doll can tell that Miss Lauriel is feeling a bit awkward. Perhaps she has regrets? Or... of course, this is her first time. She does not know how to feel, how to act.
"And I would quite enjoy another such encounter, Miss Lauriel," the doll adds, an enticement that is also intended to reassure. Miss Lauriel did very well. "In fact..."
How odd. Usually the doll doesn't hesitate. Why do so now? She doesn't understand.
"...in fact, if you would like to stay at the House of Hypnos where I can continue to care for you..."
She looks down at her lap, where her hands are folded demurely. Ah, she's feeling shy. How novel.
"Forgive my forwardness. The House of Hypnos is out-of-the-way and does not possess modern amenities. It is a poor suggestion, spoken because I like you, Miss Lauriel."
no subject
It’s really something, and she’s honestly truly tempted for a moment, to follow her and never let this moment end.
She closes her eyes, forcing herself to focus on her thoughts, on her body and her needs. Separating herself from her body and running through a checklist like she is herself a machine. Its harder than usual, her thoughts and body still unnaturally warm. After a long minute her eyes open again, and she offers the doll a smile that is two parts regret and one part joy.
“I… would love that, I really would. But I think what I need more than anything is a shower and to sleep as much as my body will let me…” She leans over, gently touching the doll’s wrist. “You are too good to me, and I’d love to speak to you again… and … play with you again. But if I keep going I’ll collapse.”
She stumbles over the words, but she thinks she got them all right, she hopes the doll understands.

Back in the Hunter's Dream, the doll's purpose was the same as it is now: to bring pleasantness, to play, and to soothe. Yet some hunters were so enamored of her that the doll wondered how restful their time together could truly be. Those hunters were flattering in their own way, even if sometimes their obsessions were a little much.
"As long as you dwell in the Amani Dream, I shall be at your call, Miss Lauriel," the doll assures her. "When you are ready. Whenever you wish it."
The doll reaches an articulated hand over to place upon Miss Lauriel's, but pauses to rub thumb and forefinger together. Ah, her hand is still tacky from her mistress' fluids; it would not do to sabotage Miss Lauriel's efforts to clean herself. Nor would it be kind to make a lewd showing of licking her fingers clean--Miss Lauriel needs to rest, not to become excited once more. The doll instead places her hand briefly over where her heart would be if she had one, then stands to retrieve her clothes from the ground.
And if Miss Lauriel enjoys the view as the doll dresses herself, well the doll simply cannot help that.
Fin?
She’s faster than most people, it only takes her a few seconds even with how exhausted she is.
Before she leaves though, she steps over to the doll and wraps her arms around her, hugging her tight. “Thank you, again. I’ll see you soon.” She mummers.
And if the hug lingers a few seconds longer than is polite, well who can blame her. She’ll make it to the apartments soon enough. There’s nothing left to rush for after all.
