OOC NOTES
▶ All characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. Suits will not manifest until characters are accepted into the game.
▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's May event.
▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.
▶ The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are prioritized and receive attention! If you would be interested in a game invitation, you can note that in your comment header.
▶ If you aren't satisfied with these prompts, please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort!
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!
▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.
▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.

How long has he been here now? ]
I woke up here about … three months ago? In a bed with some guy I didn’t know.
That kind of set the tone.
[ So much had happened it seemed as if he’d been here both longer and shorter at the same time ]
I don’t know how much it means coming from a stranger, but I’ve met good people here. They keep things from being totally crazy.
no subject
[ Waking up with unexpected company aside... who comes out and says that so calmly?! Sound more upset about how messed up that situation is, Junpei!!! ]
Jeez - be more picky about the company you keep, or you'll end up like the weirdos outside.
[ Unsolicited advice! How nice. Also unfortunately a reality of Maki being Maki, with her whole knack for bulldozing through whatever's inconveniencing her at the moment... so yes, she's what one might conservatively call "confident" if only because she's not accustomed to operating any other way.
Maki makes a short, irritated noise, joined by the rustling of one of the snack bags tearing open. ]
Besides, calling someone good is like saying water can be wet. That's not setting a very high bar for the crazies to clear.
no subject
It’s not like that.
[ Trying his damndest not to sound petulant and doing a middling job of it. ]
They’ve really treated me well. Besides, trying to survive this place alone only makes them want to target you more. Then you might get stuck in situations way worse than … whatever this is.
[ He’s never watched any kind of dating show. Not enough jumpscares or practical effects to keep his interest. ]
no subject
Hoh? So, what... you're just gonna roll over and take it if they pat you on the head and say nice enough things?
[ The worst part is she's not even being all that scornful about dropping that in his lap. What does she care? He's just some random guy, so she's not invested in what he does with his time. If it was one of her idiot kouhais saying that in earshot, they'd be having a very different conversation.
But he isn't, so they won't. Simple.
Uncomfortable silence seeps in like molten lead, so very heavy while she pops a pretzel in her mouth.
Sounds like how someone treats their dog, a younger version of her might say. That's no way to live.
Instead, she swallows her mouthful of pretzel and snags a bottle of sparkling water, twisting the cap open with a crisp crack-fizz. ]
Must be working out for you if you've lasted this long.
no subject
I haven’t rolled over. They offered help and … I took it. They’re just people. Here against their will like we are.
[ Indifferent era Junpei would scoff at what he’s saying now. But indifferent era Junpei hadn’t been through what he had. ]
I haven’t done anything I’m ashamed of. That’s enough for me.
no subject
[ I'm still right though is sorta kinda implied, to nobody's surprise. Being passive, accepting things as they are... that might not be what he's trying to say, but she can't help hearing a different voice saying those words, and the echo of it is too painful for her to linger on for long.
So.
More rustling; paper this time. ]
"What kind of person's your type"?
no subject
That’s why when she asks the cliche question, he answers as if their little back and forth didn’t just happen.
Only now? He’s overthinking. Trying to give a response that won’t give further credence to her previous comments. ]
I’m still figuring that out. Not like I’ve given it much thought.
Do most people even really know what they want? Sure, they’ll say they do, but then just end up with someone the complete opposite.
no subject
I want someone stronger than me.
[ Oops. Guess not.
Apparently her answer hasn't changed since that one silly school interview, and that's unlikely to change in the future either. ]
If someone can't meet that requirement, then there's no point trying to salvage anything. Saves us both time. [ Her seat creaks. Maki rests her cheek on one fist, eyes drifting aimlessly over the pod interior while she fishes around for another pretzel from the bag perched on her lap. ] You really have no preferences at all? Not even one?
no subject
While he fishes idly in the topic jar for something to ask her in return, the current subject is given a little more thought. ]
I guess if I really had to choose something ... someone passionate about an interest. A hobby. That's something I can relate to. Someone who cares about more than money or relationships or whatever.
[ Even though she can't see him, he shrugs his shoulders as he opens the paper he pulled out. ]
'Give the cheesiest pickup line you know.'
[ His lips form a line. Is this better or worse than a straight out dirty question? ]
no subject
Is that a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see myself in your pants.
[ As much as she regrets the fact... every pickup line she knows was learned by osmosis against her will. Thanks, Gojo.
If anyone asks - no, she doesn't know any more. Firstly, because it feels an awful lot like it's tempting fate, and secondly, and Maki has approximately zero interest in letting any of the knuckleheads in her life get wind of any of this. Once she's out of here, she's taking this shitshow of a memory to the grave.
The pretzel crunching this time around is suspiciously aggressive while she pulls up another question slip. ]
"Are you more of a tits or ass person?"
no subject
[ An honest initial reaction to the awful pickup line. The sound of her eating has him glancing hesitantly at the snack bar. Should he risk something to get the godawful aftertaste of the alcopop off his tongue? There's a sound of him rustling around in what's available a minute later. ]
Chest.
[ He's not going to say 'tits' and they can't make him.
Since he's busy deciding if the potato chips or Pocky look less suspicious he takes the lazy route and just lobs her own question back at her: ]
What about you?
no subject
[ She hates sexy time talk. Ugh.
Maki thinks it over while taking a long draught from the sparkling water, thumping the bottle back down once she's got an answer she's satisfied with. ]
Ass, probably. Half the time someone with nice pecs is only good for standing around and looking pretty.
[ As usual, she's more skeptical about what the person those T&A are attached to rather than just the body parts themselves. At least Maki's consistent about what she wants?
Because she's a spoilsport, Maki follows up this nugget of wisdom with the expected blunt dose of reality. ]
Pick a new question. Doesn't count if it didn't get pulled from the jar.
no subject
[ Said in a voice with a faint hint of 'um actually' that he isn't able to entirely downplay. Still, he grabs the box of Pocky and walks back to the jar to fish out a fresh question. They've barely reached ten minutes. Twenty more to go until he's thrown in with the next random. ]
Fine. 'What do you wear to bed?'
[ Embarrassing to have to ask, but hey she's the one who insisted on the jar. ]
no subject
[ Lol. Lmao. More like the staff are little gremlins and lied through their teeth how the blind date game works. Some unlucky dude's gonna get rattled around like a terrier with a chew toy once she gets out of here, trust.
But aside from that sour correction, the rhythm of answers resumes, and Maki's former deadpan tone returns. ]
Shorts and a tank top or sweatpants and a sweater if it's cold.
[ See? Wasn't that easy? ]
"What's your ideal date?"
no subject
Not the movies, I found out.
Nothing too fancy or to anyplace that’s super crowded. I think just relaxing at someone’s house together with takeout would be really nice. Then you can at least pause the movie so you don’t miss anything.
[ His eyes fall on that green ‘mate’ button in the peripheral of his vision, and he gets an idea. ]
Hey, listen. If our time runs out, they’re just going to make us do this with someone else for who knows how long.
If you had the option of that or being stuck for awhile with someone that isn’t going to expect you to do anything gross, which would you choose?
