ERKU

❝ As the signs manifest, so do I read them. From the sky; from the birds; from the dance; from the animals; from portents. All such things did conspire to bring you here, to bring life back to the world of Erku. ❞

PREMISE




A glitching teleporter brings you to a sterile, high-tech hospital room. You hear a matronly voice, soothing and yet strangely synthesized:

"I am The Augur. As the ṣ̵̗̙̏̇͌̒ị̶͒̊g̵̩͍͎͌̈́͂͜n̸̙̼̒ş̶̨̦̣̽́͑͊ manifest, so do I read them. From the sky; from the birds; from the dance; from the animals; from portents. All such things did conspire to bring you here, to bring life back to the ẁ̴͔͕̯ơ̶̧͉̬̼͑̽͋͝ͅr̵͓͊̄̈l̸̪̦͚̩͈̯̀̇̀̑͘d̵̨̛̩̘͍̭̣̽̄ of Erku."


Every last bit of you is scanned and processed. Illnesses are cured or mitigated, limbs may be replaced at your discretion, and allocations of artificial substances are annotated for anyone with inhuman needs, such as blood.

The next thing you know, you have washed up on a tropical beach. On your wrist is a special bracelet that establishes a link with The Augur and monitors your physical condition. Most importantly, there is the Auspicious Acts And Acquisitions App on your device. The A5 features what appears to be a kinky BINGO card with sex acts, toys, and related concepts depicted on each of its squares. These things, your app tells you, will bring the most fortune. And they are different for everyone.

Before you is a life of luxury beyond your wildest dreams, with your every need provided for by the Island's helpful robot staff, and your fantasies brought to life by Augmented Reality - all thanks to Neuro-Augmentation, which allows you to experience the digital just as if it were physical. For Islanders who seek further excitement and challenge, Sim City offers adventures in a variety of ever-changing simulated worlds to experience and explore.

There is one catch, however: this ostentatious world is powered by you, and the Auspicious Acts you will perform in the name of the mysterious Augur.

Not into it?

Don't worry. You will be.

HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY BODY!

erkumods: (Default)
The doctor is in...




The Erku experience must be a lot for Islanders to take in and process. A lot of new information, new feelings, and new surroundings to become acquainted with. But they should know they are not alone here. Dr. D. Love of Healthy Mind, Healthy Body is still as present as ever to help anyone who may need to work through accepting their new situation. He and his helpers might even be rather insistent on you having a session!

Whether you're in the city or out of it, you may suddenly awaken to find yourself sitting in a comfortable chair in the doctor’s newly remodeled office that is tastefully decorated with finely detailed, “hand” painted posters of beings in positions of pleasure. So many positions. Or you may find yourself in the Immersion Room, an equally tastefully decorated room filled with a large, comfortable bed (perfect for group therapy sessions!) and shelves full of toys and other supplies. For the duration of your session, enjoy access to anything one might need to help relieve the stress of their body and mind on their own - or with a partner, who might have been brought here just as unwittingly as you were... or perhaps, they may be a perfectly realistic digital fascimile of someone you know.

The Doctor is there to help you work through your feelings and discomfort if needed, please have no fear. He knows some of you may be resistant to his help, but he’s as cheerful and devoted as ever, to the point of not letting you leave the building until you’ve admitted to whatever feelings you are holding back. What's the diagnosis? The fact is, you must not be receiving enough pleasure. You are too tense, you need to relax and allow yourself to embrace the carnal nature of this world and what it can provide you.

The more you resist, the more the Doctor shall insist. He may even choose to activate a sexy subroutine within your Neuro-Augmentation, which all Islanders have been gifted with upon arrival. Said activation may cause immediate arousal, sexual attraction to those near you, and even turn various parts of your body into extreme erogenous zones! Once activated, the Implant's effects may kick in at the most random of times.

The Doctor knew all you needed was the right motivation.

DEATH AND CANON UPDATE.

erkumods: (Default)
DEATH AND CANON UPDATE



For IC purposes, death and canon update will work similarly on Erku. Dead bodies are quickly collected by robots, and characters who must canon update will be inexplicably drawn to the ocean, wading further out to sea until they disappear beneath the waves. After one week of absence, characters will find themselves respawning in the ocean, washing up onto the beach in the same manner as new arrivals.

Characters who died or disappeared might feel headache and pain or stiffness in the areas of the injury that killed them. Subsequent deaths or disappearances will result in discovery of wooden limbs, exposed bone, weakness in sunlight, and other grotesque mutations that last for one day per number of deaths/disappearances. If they are not discovered by friends or passing Islanders, robots will collect them from the beach and usher them either to hospital for examination, OR to the beachside Laid Bare Spa for an invigorating bath.

Immunity from death cannot be requested as an Augur reward, however, bingo squares may be used to reverse or shorten the effects of respawning. For canon updates and deaths of an (ahem) erotic nature, players may choose to opt out of any or all of these adverse effects for their characters.

Reporting of deaths and canon updates is not required or tracked by mods, but you may optionally list such events here for your future reference!

AUGURNET & APPS


ENTER THE AUGURNET

Thanks to the efforts of the Islanders, the Augurnet has been reaccessed! You will find a link to a new (at times glitchy, but still mostly reliable!) browser linked onto your bracelets that will give you access to high quality webpages similar to these:




The Augurnet is not vast, but it does have a search engine! That for some reason thinks everything you put into it should be autocorrected to sexual inquiries. If you do manage to persevere, you will find no history of the City, the Island, or Erku itself available.

But you may find access to hundreds of fanmade webpages dedicated to In The Heat Of Our Stars, a very popular and long running webcomic, a timeless tale of star-crossed lovers pushing back on their organized crime-running families' expectations of them as they struggle to fulfill their dreams to be Starship pilots! Their drive to traverse space is only outmatched by their unstoppable desire for each other. And maybe each other's brothers. And sisters. Unfortunately you'll only find you have access up to chapter 69, which leaves on a cliffhanger.

You will also find many, many fanpages dedicated to BDSM, Kinks, the Sarma Kutra (a long running advice column about the benefits of various sexual positions to your health), and various fictional erotic bestsellers. There is even a site called Lemonwire dedicated to sharing files through groupshare downloading of old television series, but trying to access these files will find your bracelet or computer filled with viruses that alter text into sexual innuendo and spam you images of sex toys and other items they insist you should be using.

There’s even Sextsy the once popular online shop where people would make their own sex toys and costumes and sell them! Details such as dates, locations, and prices all seem to be corrupted and unreadable.

You are encouraged to make your own webpages and share them with your friends!

(None of the sites or media available will be of actual existing canons, but can be based off of a canon in a fictionalized and/or parodied way.)

FLORA & FAUNA.

erkumods: (Default)
FLORA & FAUNA.



The flora and fauna of Erku are quite bizarre, often springing up overnight as part of an Augur request or as the unintended consequence of an Auspicious Act. Here's some of what you might find.







🞃 flora

Love darts may shoot at characters who come too close, dosing them with enough aphrodisiac to make them little more than zombies driven by lust. Orgasm clears the mind.

Passionfruit inspires feelings of jealousy and clinginess, bordering on yandere (cw: blood) tendencies. No amount of contact can stop it. The effects wear off on their own within 24 hours.

Tentacle plants have vines that trap unsuspecting adventurers.

There's even a mysterious fruit that generates sweet, lubricating fluid.

Sunflowers now grow in abundance. You can buy one for your sweetheart from a little flower cart that's sprung up on one of the main streets.

Grape-producing vines have been spotted here and there.

Lotuses now grow in a large lake on the outskirts of the city.

Medicinal plants and herbs can be found in the interior mountains, known as Harpy Hills.

Marijuana has been added to the greenhouse!

A small orangery has been added to the greenhouse with five (5) navel orange trees and three (3) mikan orange trees.

Apple trees have arrived! One (1) Red Delicious, one (1) Granny Smith, and one (1) Fuji tree have been planted in the greenhouse’s budding orchard.

A rose garden has been planted outside the House of Worship. Two of the bushes are normal roses of different colors (red, pink, peach) that have no effect. The other three bushes are one color each and may carry some effects, but only to those who pick flowers from them and smell them up close.
  • Yellow: Yellow Roses create a sense of soft joy, fondness and admiration. You want to pamper someone and show them affection. You feel happy and want to share that happiness with others. Being pricked by a thorn will cause the opposite reaction. Sadness, anger and a desire to get revenge on some unknown slight.
  • Purple: Purple Roses create a sense of lust and passion toward whoever you see after smelling them. Lust at first sight. You want them, they want you, and it can build into a frenzy of needing to express that passion as quickly as possible. Being pricked by the thorns will cause the opposite reaction and you will feel immediately repulsed by the first person you see and desire to be as far away from them as you can
  • Blue: Blue creates a sense of the unattainable. Of pining and wishing for someone to look at you the way you do them. But you pine from a distance, hoping you might get to confess. Being pricked by a thorn will have the opposite reaction. You will desire and covet to the point you see someone as yours and you will do anything to make sure they know they belong to you.
These effects will last for up to four hours or until the completion of an auspicious act.

Lemon trees, sugar maples, green tea shrubs, blueberries, and strawberries have also arrived! The strawberries are a juicy aphrodisiac, the rumors say, especially when eaten with chocolate they may make someone feel particularly aroused and in the mood for carnal delights.

Five peach trees are eternally blossoming by the Unclean Realm.

The Venus Gleetrap Gardens is a botanical garden filled with a massive variety of plants from across all the worlds Islanders may have visited. In addition to the trees and flowers that Islanders might recognize from their homes, please enjoy these exotic beauties:
  • Venus Gleetraps, whose mischievous, toothy grins will occasionally reach out to playfully nip the fingertips or bums of Islanders who aren't looking - especially if those Islanders happen to be traveling with a companion who might take the blame.
  • The glowing honeybulbs fluoresce spectacularly at night, but occasionally burst to cover the observer in a sweet and sticky sap, which also glows in the dark. On the bright side, the sap tastes just like orange blossom honey! Many animals might find it very enticing.
  • Consider yourself lucky if you're able to catch the rare bloom of the Midnight Delight, a flower native to Erku which has inspired ancient legends due to its captivating beauty - as well as its hypnotic perfume, which is said to be an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac. The flower blooms for a single night each month!


Potato and wheat fields, as well as a flour mill, have sprung up to feed the masses.





🞃 fauna

Highly dangerous aphrodisiac-releasing bees are now part of your world.

A few types of fish reside in a small pond and in the ocean.

Chocobos reside in the stables and can be found at the racetrack, stretching their legs and warking around.

In the summertime, pinching crabs inspire feelings of friendship on the beach while beautiful luminescent jellyfish sting a powerful aphrodisiac into unsuspecting waders. The octopi are grabby, but otherwise harmless.

Please enjoy the return of butterflies!

Cats, dogs, and geese can be found roaming the island en masse.

Cherub Dragons have returned! These dragons cannot be domesticated as they have strong minds of their own, but they can take a liking to someone and decide to spend their time with that person.

Welcome Your Feathered Friends as more birds have been returned! Owls, Crows, Doves, Hawks, Turkeys, and Swans will now begin to be seen again throughout the Island.

Reindeer, rabbits, boars, red fox, and lynx have returned to the island!

Chickens and cows might be spotted on farmland.

The Doom-summoning Harbinger Bugs have awakened from their cocoons. Please be warned that being touched by a male or female (or BOTH) can have adverse effects. The caterpillars of this species also have potential effects.





🞃 cryptids

Monsters from the depths of your nightmares - awful bestial things with tough skin and sharp claws - now roam the depths of the expanse outside the city. Don't be surprised if you recognize a creature or two from home! (Or if you happen to receive a tentacle steak at the diner.)

Beware of harpies and don't forget your kitty ears while exploring the peaks of Harpy Hills!

The Mothman may be spotted in the dense forest at the hours closest to dawn and dusk.





🞃 player-added
Often, creatures and plants from characters' home worlds will mysteriously glitch into the wilderness of the Island. Post the plants and animals that other Islanders may encounter from your character's universe below! Please use "FLORA" or "FAUNA" as your subject line.
