EVENT 003: INAUSPICIOUS TIDES

I. Swap til you drop With the abundance brought forth by the influx of Eros energy in the world, the Augur has blessed the world's new organic inhabitants - past and recent arrivals both - with personalized welcome packages. Overnight, these goody bags have been quietly delivered to the doorsteps (or dirty hovel floors, Gundams, tree branches, etc.) of each Island resident. Open them up to find a supply of basic hygiene necessities perfectly suited to your tastes, as well as a small selection of fun extras: good quality clothing, beachwear, fancy soaps, "necessities" to complete an Auspicious Act, and maybe even a surprise from home. Unfortunately, not every item is yours. In their haste to please their guests, the robots might have mixed a few items up, switching up favorite colors, smells, lingerie sizes, and preferred condom flavors - among other things - for someone else's. What’s more, a tiny glitch in the Augur has also beamed some inventory items directly from their owners' homes and placed them right in a stranger's welcome bag! The robots catch on quickly to the problem. By afternoon, they have hastily set up a swap meet on the beach for residents to trade, sell, or barter their unwanted items. "̷T̶r̷a̷d̴e̵ ̷a̴u̸s̷p̸i̶c̸e̴s̶ ̵a̴n̷d̴ ̶b̵e̶ ̷t̶w̸i̴c̵e̴-̴b̸l̷e̸s̷s̸e̸d̵!̴"̶ As a special event, the robots on site are also facilitating square swaps for consenting parties, and will upload the appropriate app to the devices of interested residents. Use your wrist device to project your A5 card for all to see and get swapping! Simply by tapping each other's card displays, you can easily switch squares between yourselves. The robots have authorized one square swap per person. II. Treasure Island i̶n̴o̶r̷g̷a̷n̷i̵c̷ ̸m̷a̶t̵t̴e̶r̴ ̶d̵e̵t̵e̶c̷t̵e̶d̶.̶.̷.̴ All of the activity on the beach has kicked up something beneath the sands, and as you make your wait through the festivities you may notice something glittering and gold on the sands. Mysterious treasure has begun to wash up from the seas - from large chests (ahem) to small statues, from ornate jewelry to faceless coins of indeterminate origin. You may not be the materialistic sort, but the treasure almost compels you to pick it up. Once you find something, you'll be hungry to unearth more. When questioned about the treasure's source, the robots appear stumped. Jewels and gold have no worth to them, they explain. h̶o̸l̷d̶ ̴o̵n̵ ̷t̶o̶ ̴w̶h̶a̶t̸'̸s̷ ̵p̸r̶e̶c̸i̶o̶u̴s̶.̴.̶.̴ Time will reveal that this is cursed treasure. The treasures on the beach inspire feelings of not only jealousy, but also the desire to flaunt what you do have. You find yourself craving what belongs to others - be it food, items... or even lovers. Those under the treasure’s spell are attracted to even more treasure; a flash of shiny new gemstones may be all it takes to entice even the most loyal to your side. Anyone who can sense magic will notice a faint green aura around a cursed item, but little else can be determined. Incorporating an item into your Auspicious Acts - be it coin to trade for the pleasure of their company, or if you'd prefer to be taken wearing nothing but decadent pearls - seems to lift the aura and alleviate those strange feelings of envy and vanity. Inauspicious Tides The lucky few who discover how to cleanse the treasure of its aura are not enough to stop the rightful owners from coming to claim what’s theirs. From the deep, they rise. A flash of lightning illuminates the dark sea. A horde of bodies begin to walk out from beneath the waves. They range from monstrous to humanoid, but a commonality they all have is decay. "Our treasure..." Some are completely inhuman, covered in bone and debris, flailing slimy limbs or tentacles at anything that moves. Others seem half-person, half-shipwreck, with bodies mutating around pieces of driftwood. While the largest of them threaten to wreak havoc on the beaches from the shallows, their long tentacles reaching for any buildings within their grasp with destructive intent, the smaller and more human-looking of the invaders march in droves towards land. The robots rally to defend the Island, but it soon becomes apparent that they are no match for this threat. "Give it back..." When the horde makes it ashore, they may attempt to fight the residents of the Island - but they seem far more agitated by the appearance of any native 'bots, attacking them maliciously. They are impervious to gunfire, they feel no pain, and their waterlogged bodies make them resistant to flame. They spill over all corners of the city as they make their way to the hospital. Should any of these creatures make it inside, they will head for the Augur first and foremost. And though the sun's rays will peek through the windows and turn them to ash come daybreak, their damage is done. The Augur will go offline for repairs; the robots will dedicate themselves to tending to it for the next month. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

VINCENT VALENTINE

permissions | A5 | inbox

▪ personalized welcome packages — he will be receiving a pretty important (and old) photo from home, but i'm open to him accidentally receiving an extra item belonging to someone else as well. thank you for the free hair products, erku.
▪ swap meet — he will be going just because there are some options on his A5 that he has zero interest in completing. if he ends up with someone's item, he will also want to find the owner.
▪ treasure island — vincent is available to be the recipient of someone's cursed treasure daze, but i'm also open to him being the one who's influenced by irrational jealousy. he will be more receptive towards characters who have established cr/prior contact with him for more kink-based stuff. but this could be an interesting way for him to meet someone new.
▪ inauspicious tides — let's fight some monsters ig

he's still pretty hesitant, but i'd like to ease him into more intimate acts this month. will most likely be tleveling for him!

RENO (aeroll)

permissions | A5 | inbox

▪ personalized welcome packages — he will be getting his emr mines, thanks. also open to accidentally receiving an extra item belonging to somebody else! although, he'll have like zero interest in finding the original owner oops?
▪ swap meet — he is open to swapping something on his A5 (since it's all the same to him), but he will primarily be going to see if someone might have ended up with his shit. please give him back his belongings, thanks.
▪ treasure island — oh you know this boy is gonna be thiiiiirsty for fucking gold, jewels and expensive shit. MONEY IS VERY IMPORTANT???????? he'll want to gather them all up and save them for when they all find a way back home. nobody stop him (or actually somebody please stop him). he will be prone to jealousy and he will also be easily influenced for the right price. that being said, i'm fine with him helping somebody else snap out of their greedy trance too! probably after he gets snapped out of his.
▪ inauspicious tides — yeah he doesn't care about the monsters but he'll have fun watching them rekt the robots

reno needs to complete his squares. he is gonna go out of his way to find people who are willing to help a guy out, so come at him.

i'd love to expand cr for both of my guys, so please feel free to comment below for plot discourse or reach me over at voicelog!

[libeccio]

I want CR with either or both of your guys with Bruno, Vincent because he's a different flavor of dead inside, and Reno because they're both gangsters of sorts.

That said, I was serious about Constance eventually trying to figure out how to make sucking cock not suck;;

[aeroll]

either of my boys are here to meet bruno ok? maybe he can meet vincent first who is just a very solemn and socially awkward boy

also i really need constance and reno to meet lol
pls mess with him thanks

[libeccio]

Hello socially awkward man, would you like some pizza? Come to the restaurant, get recruited to the mob.

PLEASE. Let them meet.MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION.

[aeroll]

vincent doesn't eat, so he'll pass on the pizza
he might take a box to go for his friends tho
somehow unknowingly gets recruited to the mob along the way

help him with his squares, constance
but also bond with him over their chocobo children

[nuvellity]

Maybe the real pizza is the recruits we make along the way. Cheer up, emo kid. Let's go fishing/gardening/do retired grandpa activities.

Sure thing. Constance is by default just one walking altered state of consciousness, but maybe we can find something that hits both their squares?

or they can start a chocobo chick vlog. maybe both.

[aeroll]

omg he would love that :'| he needs more old men friends
it would be so cute if they do some grandpa activities tgt

i don't mind aiming for a multikink too if you want
reno is like super flexible, so it depends on what constance would be comfortable with

[automatized]

treasure island let's go

[lapses]

who do we want to be the jealous one?

[apodictic]

he can be the jealous one just so vidar is weirded out and I can continue to push the handholding agenda

[lapses]

i'm here for it

maybe vidar will finally succeed, but vincent won't count it once he's snapped out of it

[apodictic]

noooo!!! he's gonna pout

he's gonna show a picture as proof that it happened and shove it on his face :(

[allumer]

i miss old man vv ;; vincent could end up with this cute little figurine that noct wouldn't mind having back... also maybe casually look at his a5 card to look at potential swapping options and see he also has writing and just be like "how am i supposed to make writing sexy grandpa #2 help"

[lapses]

oh nooo that is too cute

i'm totally down for him to end up with that little figurine! he'll be so ??? about it and then go to the swap meet to find its owner

sadly, asking vincent for advice on how to take care of a writing kink is like... useless because he has no idea either. they can try to figure it out together.

[allumer]

carbuncle come home 🥺 and yeah wow two losers with low/non-existent sexual libidos figuring out writing kink

then vincent and noctis write fanfic together (i am kidding but the mental image is hilarious)

[lapses]

vincent is more interested in the story behind his lil figurine

he is no sexpert like reno

[photog]

reno: yo, not gonna lie here but i would oocly die of delight if reno intentionally swapped something on prompto's a5, only to demand that he now complete it. it fits their ridiculous fuckfriendship

vincent: he wants to know more about vincent??? LIKE MAYBE FINALLY HIS NAME?

[aeroll]

god, that would be hilarious. let reno decidedly put it upon himself to dictate who (and what) prompto should be swapping a square with, so they can do it together. listen to him, blondie. he knows what's best for you.

but also pls give me more prompto/vincent bonding time. we should probably discuss what happens during the fog between them, so we can see how awkward it is between them now.

[photog]

if you can swing it i'm totally down! just nothing on the "no" list obv. and if not, i'm also just okay with reno placing one of his own on prompto's as a power play too. it's just funny to watch them orbit around each other and find out how far they're willing to go to put up with one another lol

they really need to decompress after that plant event! we've both been kinda busy and... indulging rento (reno/prompto??? ig???) a lot but these boys need some love too. i'll hit you back up on disc in a few.

[aeroll]

reno will be prompto's honorary A5 card spokesperson at the swap meet
(we can just say he picked it if you find somebody willing to switch with you in the plotting comment)

also yeah last month was busy for the both of us and we were def indulging in rento, so if it's easier, we can always just handwave that fog thread to focus on something new too. we can chatter about it more on disco!

[fortune500]

HELLO would you be open to switching out our other thread for something here? they were both pretty reserved when they met so i think some hideous jealousy shenanigans would be interesting. i'd be down for either party being the cursed one

[lapses]

yes i'd love to! i'm here for some terrible jealousy shenanigans. what's your preference for the one who's struck by envy? i'm open to either too

[schwarzen]

excuse me while I'm too lazy to log off my other guy

HMMM thats hard because both options would be terrible

but she can be jealous at him (caught u staring at someone else while I'm over here looking fly, excuse me??), which would make her extremely forward, and then she can be mortified when it wears off?

[lapses]

no worries! that's me with vincent and reno sometime

but yes i'm 100% here for that
let vincent deal with a jealous asami
he promises that he won't give her too hard of a time over it

[schwarzen]

especially on mobile, multiple character life is hard

haha, great! please do give her a hard time, even if it's bullying she'd be shocked to find out he has the capability to tease someone

also, may I add you on plurk?
