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. ❞

LOCATIONS


The Nameless Island consists of two primary domains. First is the Nameless City, a utopic luxury island resort town staffed by helpful robots and rife with highly advanced technology, which exists synergistically with lush tropical plant life to create a "solarpunk" or "eco-punk" aesthetic. Player and NPC businesses and attractions are located in the Nameless City. Unspoiled nature is also abundant, with vast blue seas and exciting mountain terrain for Islanders to enjoy in their free time. In the City, all Islanders will reside in one of two resorts: the Apartments (ideal for singles and couples) or the House of Worship (larger residences designed for groups). Thanks to the Augur's gift of Augmented Reality, these residences are completely customizable with Augur rewards.

The second domain is Sim City, a simulated world which shifts periodically according to the whims of the Augur. Safe havens requested by characters are located in Sim City, and the look and feel of them may or may not shift to match the current setting. Following Simulation 001 (posted in October '21), Islanders may choose to upload a part of their consciousness to the simulation in order to seamlessly enjoy both the goings-on of the simulation and the Resort simultaneously. As Sim City is highly influenced by the minds of the participating Islanders, players can feel free to play fast and loose with locations as needed!

WEATHER UPDATES: The climate of the Island is typically comfortable and tropical, with occasional weather events. The seas are calm and perfect for fishing, swimming, and boating, but do not venture too far into the fog which still lingers on the horizon some miles off. Those who do will find themselves looping back to where they began, with temporary amnesia effects.

TRANSPORTATION: In addition to the Augur's tendency to warp Islanders from one place to another, a trolley system is available between all major attractions, businesses, and residences.

🞃 public locations








BEACH
|
You wash up on the island onto the beach, a small cove of pink sands and gently lapping waves which are surrounded by coral reef, tropical vegetation, and a path to the city. Tents and rustic shacks are available on the beach as temporary housing or relaxation options.













NAMELESS ISLAND & NAMELESS CITY
|
The Nameless Island appears to have no bounds. Once you wander too far beyond The Nameless City, you will encounter a thick fog which conscientious robots will warn you to stay away from, lest you lose your memories. If you travel, fly, or swim too far beyond the shores of the island itself, you seem to circle back around from whence you came - with no recollection as to how you got there.









HOSPITAL
|
The Hospital houses and guards the Augur on The Nameless Island. It is the central feature of the Island, and Islanders can receive supplies and provisions from the robots here. The Augur is set up in what would be the chief medical officer's room.

Recently, one of the unused wings was set aside entirely for PCs to fix up and use as their personal facility! Robots will not go inside their wing of the hospital without being invited. This wing even has its own entrance for emergency accessibility.










RECREATION CENTER
|
H̴u̶m̷a̴n̷s̷,̸ ̴e̵x̷e̷r̸c̴i̶s̶e̵!̴

The gymnasium/rec center has been upgraded! Here, Islanders will find everything they need to keep their bodies in peak physical condition... and more!

Dildos of all colors, shapes and sizes are mounted on about half of the machinery. Some are positioned well for vaginal insertion, others for anal insertion. There are sanitary wipes in every room, at least. The outdoor track includes a standard sized sports field and a shed full of equal amount sex toys and sports equipment.

P̷l̶e̷a̴s̸e̴ ̵e̶n̴j̵o̴y̵ ̷y̷o̷u̸r̵ ̸r̴e̶c̶r̴e̵a̴t̶i̵o̸n̷.̷









HANGAR
|
The hangar was once the rundown, rusted and barely maintained storage shed for mecha on the Island, but it has been greatly upgraded since then!

It is cleaner, streamlined, has robot drones helping in maintenance and repairs on mobile suits as requested. There are gravity controls that work when all doors to the hangar are properly closed and the anti-gravitation only lasts for two hours before it needs a recharge.

Then there are the simulation chambers! Two full-size simulation cockpits back-to-back have been installed that react to each other in a PVP format, but otherwise work independently. All mobile suits currently in the hangar are already downloaded into the system. Any upgrades that occur to these suits will also be added into the simulator.

Any AI systems built into the mobiles suits will also be replicated within the full emersion simulator, although without any of the physical complications (nothing that would cause brain damage or other injuries).

But there is a small addition, the robots modified into the systems.

Any AI system will also include a subliminal messaging of sexual thoughts and possibilities. Something to stimulate more adrenaline and further arousal while piloting the system. Some may notice it after a while, others may never pick up the change. It also may lead characters to being more susceptible to acting on impulsive thoughts and desires they had while inside of the simulator after they exit. They'll need to burn off all that energy somehow.

But they only work when the people using them are mostly unclothed or naked. Skin exposure is needed to activate them and keep them working.

Right outside the hangar is the new Pump'n'Plug Refuel Station! It is a kiosk-style gas station with some supply of varied fuel reserves for islanders' vehicles and mechs, but it is limited and will need restocking by request. The more fuels requested, the more squares necessary.









LIBRARY
|
The city library stores media data chips that can be freely downloaded to your bracelet device. Or, if you prefer, you might be interested in purchasing a tablet-like electronic reader to peruse your selections on a larger screen. Most library data has been resorted: nonfiction including history, linguistics, horticulture, etc. Descriptions of various periods of history around the multiverse have been transcribed from the memories of Islanders, often with a bit of sexy embellishment of various historical feats. In fact, everything seems a touch sexually explicit...?

The library also houses the community college, which hosts robot-led classes for all sorts of subjects. Any Islander is welcome to attend a class and augment their knowledge of math and science, cosmology, operation of Erku technology, and exciting new sex techniques. Inquire within if you would like to teach a class!









BATHHOUSE
|
A bathhouse is also available for public use. The steaming, mineral-rich waters have healing properties for organic lifeforms, which hasten the healing of minor wounds, reverse effects of Augur-related events and aphrodisiac-laced foods and items, and eliminate the memory-wipe effects of the fog that lingers over much of the island. Not only that, but these baths will help you feel instantly relaxed! Just sink into the waters and feel your cares wash away.









GREENHOUSE
|
An auspicious Greenhouse has been built up by robots who've heard that humans like organic food. They'll help you grow and maintain anything you ask - although they might not always do the best job, and you might find yourself with an unusual, Erku-native variant of your desired plant instead.









VENUS GLEETRAP BOTANICAL GARDENS
|
Welcome to the newly constructed Venus Gleetrap Gardens, where you can enjoy gorgeous blooms from all over the known universe! The indoor botanical spectacle is temperature controlled and carefully maintained by robot stewards. At the giftshop, Islanders can buy anything they might need for a pleasant picnic, as well as cuttings of any flowers they take fancy to, so they might grow them at home. Holographic lightshows of beautiful (if psychadelic) spring days are presented twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. No two shows are alike!









HOMESTEADY DAIRY FARM
|
Formerly run by Jesse Mccree. The homestead currently contains several acres of fenced off land, several milking cows and a few calves, a plethora of cats, a cattle barn, and a farmhouse. It is now run by robots and the milk is given away to Islanders who request it or “donated” to the local restaurants.

Near to the farm but on public lands, potato fields, citrus groves, and vineyards thrive. They are mostly tended by robots, but Islanders are welcome to pitch in and take home the ample produce.









FAIREST FOWLS AVIARY
|
For our bird lovers, say hello to Fairest Fowls, a large robot-run aviary to help care for the recent spike in the bird population. Visitors are welcome, but please mind where you stand.









HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY BODY
|
Healthy Mind, Healthy Body is a mental health office! Dr. D. Love and his small robot staff will listen to any troubles that people may need to talk about and offer solutions for your troubles (usually through sex therapy).









DIRTY & CLEAN FUN LAUNDROMAT
|
Dirty & Clean Fun Laundromat is now open for business! It's a 24/7 laundromat with very helpful robots who will even fold your laundry for you! Just be careful, because they may mix up laundry, lose some of them entirely, or you might find your undergarments leaving you feeling very aroused to the point you just can't keep your hands out of them.





🞃 residential locations








APARTMENTS
|
Typical apartments, fully stocked with all the amenities an Islander may need for a sexually liberated life, are freely available for island residents to claim. These apartments are sparsely furnished in a high-tech minimalist style, but can be freely modified to an Islander's taste with Augur requests. The size is ideal for singles or couples.









HOUSE OF WORSHIP
|
The House of Worship has been upgraded! These spacious apartments are ideal for group living. They are furnished similarly to the smaller apartments, and they can also be modified freely through Augur requests. Your imagination is the limit!






🞃 entertainment locations












ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT
|
The Entertainment District is active! The energy robots are able to harness from the sun increased their productivity exponentially, and a colorful multi-level entertainment district has sprung up to surround a few of the city’s familiar locations. Here you will find:

Tailor shop that will sell you some fresh new underwear, or at least some pants.

The Forge and its associated marketplace, featuring chainmail bikinis, swords with penis-shaped handles, and anything else your trashy heart desires.

Flashbang: a greasy diner with free food on Topless Tuesdays.

The Full Moon(ty) Theater has two screening rooms that show different features all day. Fridays are cosplay day. Come in costume and get a free popcorn! You can also get free food by volunteering to work the concessions!

Steaming Carafe: a cafe that changes decor monthly (the theme being related to the Kink Special of the month or an upcoming Native Holiday) selling coffees, other caffeinated beverages, and sometimes food specials

The Limp Noodle Shop is a robot-run shop has three small tables and a long counter for serving customers. It caters to various noodle foods and soups from any world and their menu changes regularly, but Wednesday is All You Can Eat Ramen Day. Try the Special Spicy Fishcakes to get a free drink, but they might make your noodle anything but limp and you'll need some help to calm it down. Effects can last up to three hours.

Ticket To Ride is an all-purpose arcade with tacky carpet and games that yield tickets like skeeball and Whack-a-Woody, which can be exchanged for sexy, colorful prizes!

Trés Gueule is a robot-manned cosmetic kiosk. Besides selling makeup, it also provides basic options for body writing (e.g. body paint and non-toxic markers/pens) and items to superficially disguise one's appearance (e.g. cheap party/masquerade masks and wigs). Supply is limited but does change up weekly so there's always something new to look forward to.

Queen Me! is a gaming café for board games and card games, including Gwent, Dungeonwalks & Dragonqueens, Stripped Magic Battle, and more. It will be open in a quieter area of the entertainment district. Once a month sexy strip Campaigns happen. What does that mean? Who knows, the robots make up something new every time.






CURLY CUBES MAKEOVER SALON
|
A styling salon is now open for business! Or would be if it had any staff. Two chairs and hairdryers, but one of the chairs comes with handcuffs and a dildo attached. Maybe you’ll convince a nearby robot to come take care of you in the shop, but who knows what style they might come up with...



THE DIVE
|
The robot-staffed bar has been newly upgraded to suit the Island's luxurious atmosphere. Free drinks if you do a karaoke performance! The karaoke machine inspires emotion based on the song being sung.



THE CORNER STORE
|
A convenience store that sells life's small pleasures: cigarettes, alcohol, single can cat food, pervertibles... Other items may be carried at random times.



TUG-TUG BOATHOUSE
|
The boathouse is stocked with water crafts, such as paddleboats, surfboards, and a slightly larger rowboat that can fit up to five people. The rowboat will be available for traveling to and from the dock at the beach and another dock close to the Shame A Long House resort.



STREET FOOD KIOSKS
|
Robot-manned food kiosks from various cultures and worlds will show up randomly throughout the city. That is not to say these foods do not have any effects as sometimes the robots may add a little extra to them. You are what you eat after all.









SHAME A LONG HOUSE HOT SPRINGS RESORT
|
WELCOME TO THE SHAME A LONG HOUSE. Robots will provide various attire for comfort and insist that visitors take advantage of all the possible amenities of the hot springs! Only the non-transformational hot springs are available, but their effects are still active.









PAOLO’S BAR
|
Formerly run by Bruno Bucciarati. It is a lowkey stand bar on the beach for your parched needs.









MIDNIGHT HOTEL
|
A mysterious underwater hotel grants absolute privacy for your every need. Those who seek to explore darker kinks can enter the Midnight Hotel and find rooms filled with items to scratch any itch. You will be given a keycard to open a room and to enter inside is to agree to the contract of that key. No one may exit the room until a darker kink square on your card is completed. But do not worry, each room is designed to cater to exactly what you need to fulfill those squares, in whatever way that may be.

The Midnight Hotel is also subject to changes by the Augur and its robot denizens, ever seeking to find new ways to fulfill its goals and encourage completion of Auspicious Acts.









SIX FLAGELLANTS
|
Welcome, one and all, to a thrilling new location! Robots have worked tirelessly to build, from the ground up, what can only be recognizable as an amusement park. You are just in time for the grand opening of Six Flagellants: Great Advagtures!

The Ferris Wheel routinely stops when lovebirds reach the top, waiting for a kiss - or something more daring! - before it starts up again.

Robots warn of the scary Haunted House: a dark building with wall-to-wall creeps, and hot and cold running chills. Flickering ghosts roam the halls, and you may find an eerily realistic Headless Horseman -- who bids you, "Come closer. Give me head," while pointing to yours. Hey, get your mind out of the... Nevermind.

The Carousel is a two-story affair. Nude figures with familiar faces lounge about, waiting to be ridden, and closer inspection proves that they have the faces of your fellow islanders. Hop on your favorite person and take them for a spin!

There are even Bumper Cars, which have the interesting effect of making one feel more aroused with every bump and impact. (It's randomized each time, so don't try to guess based on car color!)

What should be a similar ride, the Teacups, has the robots' madness written all over it instead. They have misunderstood the gentle spin-cycles for dangerous, dizzying loop-the-loops across a wide track. Some would swear that the ride has a supernatural invocation for fear. Others are simply man enough to admit they're afraid.

The Tunnel of Love is not what you expect. Although flavored lube and guides to cunnilingus are on each fleshy-log-shaped boat, the motion of the ocean is quite soothing, and there's a pleasant floral scent in the air that causes a light intoxication.

Two newer additions to the park are the Hall of Mirrors where people will see very distorted (but often sexual and provocative versions of themselves) that somehow have less clothing on them than the you do yourself. And the viewers' tent to watch the awe-inspiring prowess of the Great Be@stm@ster! With a sound of their whistle or crack of their whip, the Be@stm@ster can tame any beast to their will to do many tricks and feats...including volunteers from the audience. And if asked nicely enough, maybe they'll allow special guests to test out their whip, trying their own hand at beast-taming.

And then there is the new waterpark! The Watersports Funtime Zone is a large water park with splashing rides and rollercoasters, a wading pool of cooling and arousing waters, the Rainbow Power Sprinkler Run that leaves visitors covered in dyes that just so happen to be deliciously edible, and the Streak And Shine nude waterslide! You will be liberally lubed down by a robot attendant (or helper of your choice) before enjoying the speed and pleasure of the twists and turns of the rushing slide.

Don't forget to try the food! Similar to the Street Kiosks, there's a ton of faire food: cotton candy, corn dogs, and the like.

Mascot outfits are available and those who wear them will be rewarded generously with credits.

Two toy machines will be just outside of the amusement park. One of these will have miniature figurines of items or people from characters' home worlds. The other machine will have green figurines of other characters in the game! Naked figurines. In extremely sexualized poses poses that emphasize their physical assets.









LAID BARE MASSAGE & SPA
|
There is a new addition to the scenery at the beach, and everyone is welcome! Especially new arrivals, who will be ushered to the recently-established Laid Bare Spa, where (provided they don't slip away from the bots' helpful grasp) their uncomfortably wet, sandy clothing will be stripped away and they will be lovingly pampered by the cold metal hands of the resident robots. Long-time Islanders and newbies alike are welcome to enjoy such amenities as hot and cold baths, sauna rooms, scrub-downs, thorough whippings with birch brooms, skin treatments, massage and energy work, and more! All rooms are thoughtfully decorated with tasteful murals of naked and disrobing bodies.

Maybe you'll see someone you recognize?! (Maybe you'll see... you?)

Islanders who happen to find their clothing mysteriously missing are welcome to borrow a Laid Bare branded towel to cover up with on their way home.









LOUDINUS OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATER
|
Remain on the trolley until the last stop, and Islanders will find themselves at the open amphitheater just in time to witness a troupe of robots acting out a traditional play of the ancients! (That's strange, how did they know you were coming?)

No matter what the play is, the 'bots sure don't skimp on the sex scenes. Nor are they stingy with their famous (aphro-laced) popcorn! Just a few credits will net a buttery bag of deliciousness that never empties for as long as it remains within the amphitheater area. Why not share it with a friend, or a stranger?
