EVENS
EVENS: NEW CHARACTERS
Music plays. Instrumental, the tune gentle enough not to disturb peaceful rest. The sudden insistent beep of the Watch is a cutting cacophony across an otherwise sweet lullaby. Upon opening their eyes, new arrivals will quickly discover that something is wrong. The quilt snug across their body is weighty. Crystals glint in a weave of embroidery and cotton shimmers with threads of silver. Dozens of decorative pillows surround the bed. The gauzy curtains of the canopied bed are drawn, obscuring the rest of the room.
Extravagant for a kidnapping. Too extravagent. What’s more, these new guests will find something even stranger than this new diamond-studded suite tucked into bed beside them. Someone else. Who are they, what are they wearing? What happened last night?!
Guests are encouraged to explore the resort from here! There are paper maps available for those who would like and staff are happy to recommend locations if they have any preferences. Enjoy your honeymoon, you lovebirds!
ODDS
ODDS: SPECIAL RE-ARRIVAL
Never trust a hallway in the Golden peacock.
Cross the wrong threshold and time begins to slow. A short hallway becomes long, sheds its doors, only leading to turns without end. Guests too eager to explore the resort have gotten lost before. For how long always varies, dependent upon capriciousness of the resort. Hours? Yes. Years? Yes. Every guest caught in the winding hallways has reported the same thing: time is different there and too difficult to discern.
Some wayward guests have been caught in the endless hallways since the FIRST TDM. Weeks pass before a single doorway appears in the distance. It creaks upon opening before everything goes topsy-turvy. These guests have been let out of a trap door in the depths of Crane's Respite.
All water corridors will eventually lead back to the populated areas of Crane's Respite. The waters are warm, the scent of bath salts returns, and staff are wild with joy at finally finding all of you. They have been beside themselves searching ever since you vanished!
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ Because we love all of the new characters premiering on this TDM, we kindly request that our Evens prompt be top level exclusive for new characters. Current characters are encouraged to tag in to these prompts with the caveat that they’ve been picked up from their assigned suite (or wherever else they were before) and dumped into the new arrival’s bed. We would like for new characters to have this prompt unique to their top level comments!
▶ Players are welcome to have their current character riff off of these prompts in the log community with the exclusion of the new arrival element. This request is just for TDM top levels.
▶ Current characters and new characters are both welcome to freely mess around with the Odds prompt with the exclusion of the arrival element. For new characters, players may participate with the idea that their character is exploring Crane’s Respite after their unique arrival in the Evens prompt. The Odds arrival element may also be utilized by current player characters who may have been on an unofficial hiatus in January and did not tag as much as they would have liked, to explain any long IC absence.
▶ Octopi may be killed. If a character decides to eat one of the octopi they may find themselves taking on some of its traits. Which traits are up to player discretion.
ELEVATORS
ELEVATORS
The house has recently ordered a full changeout of art in all high traffic areas. The elevators in particular have received special attention with many different famous artworks and portraits studded to the walls for guests to admire. These artworks are treasures of the modern world that one would typically see behind glass at a museum. Guests may even find works from their own world hanging in the elevators. Even famous works that maybe have been lost to time. So this is where they ended up. Is that Vermeer's The Concert?
Guests may find their elevator suddenly stopping without warning. The portraits on the wall stir, curiously studying them, but there are three main portraits calling the shots. The portrait that controls that particular elevator will make their demands known with the threat that, if they are not obeyed, you will be trapped forever.
Elevators will function after the portrait's demands are met. Guests that hold out and refuse may find themselves trapped upwards of twelve hours. Guests with the ability to do so may crawl out of the top emergency door, free to go wherever they want from there.
GREAT TIT!
GREAT TIT!
Great Tit! is the Golden Peacock’s popular dessert bar and cafe. With its bright pops of color and whimsical treats, guests simply can’t resist stopping in for a butt shaped cookie and hazelnut coffee. After catching wind that the resort has decided to celebrate a dessert shop's most lucrative holiday, Great Tit! is ready to impress the masses. Advertisements for limited edition drinks and desserts rain the main lobby; one can’t go three steps without slipping on a neon pink coupon for 10 percent off nipple buns. Guests that decide to pass by the cafe will find themselves assaulted with confetti cannons and eager employees ushering them inside.
Guests will find a temporary communal shower room upon exiting Great Tit! where they can wash off after a fun day of rolling around in sugar. All guests will be gifted a tee branded with a, CHOCOLATE IS MY LOVER logo.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ This portraits prompt has been triggered by several characters expressing interest in and investigating the lore of the resort paintings. This is just dipping a beginning toe in, but congrats to all for poking around!
▶ Portraits in the elevator should not be destroyed, purely for continuity’s sake. If a character would go far enough to attack one of the portraits, the portrait will slap them back with ghostly power.
▶ Characters may also figure other ways out of the elevator if they have specific abilities to do so. While the portraits can control the elevators, they cannot control your character(s). Any destruction to the elevator itself is liable to result in a rush of security dragging the culprit(s) away to the Iron Net.
▶ Great Tit! is running a massive sale! Even characters who are on the broke end of the spectrum will be able to afford to join in on the fun and indulge in sugar at these prices.
▶ Players are encouraged to make up any other elements for the Hall of Chocolate. If it’s a dessert and edible, it’s there. Enjoy your sugar coma!
▶ While the chocolate boxes are ICly limited due to Alessandro’s skills as a chocolatier, this is only an IC mechanic. There is no OOC limitation on this prompt as far as chocolate rarity goes.
THE NEST
ALICE AND THE PARROTS
Fashion boutiques are a dime a dozen in the Nest. The shopping hub is massive, lined with stores all trying to aggressively appeal to guests. A challenge in itself — but the guests of the Golden Peacock are no ordinary people. Used to being pampered and fed excitement, if these boutiques don’t bust their bottoms to appeal to the fickle nature of their patrons, they won’t be in business for much longer! One particular boutique, Alice and the Parrots, is riding winds of romantic thrill and churning out a couple of brand new fashion lines sure to draw in loads of chips.
Guests are welcome to try on clothes in Alice and the Parrots' dressing rooms. These dressing rooms are small and can only accommodate two people sharing at a time. Such is the life of a small boutique store. Sharing is no big deal, right? And there’s no way you can buy clothing this expensive without giving it a test first.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ Players are encouraged to make up whatever cute outfits they would like for this prompt.
▶ Wedding clothes do not have to be cute and frilly; this section accommodates tastes of everyone.
▶ Alice and the Parrots is more expensive than Love Dove. Their clothing quality is excellent but their price tags are high. Staff may watch low ranks extra diligently to cut off any stealing. Thieves will be chased by NPC security! Anyone caught gets a day in the Iron Net.
CASINO CHAPEL
CASINO FLOOR
A Pop up Chapel has appeared in the Phoenix Casino. Guests are delighting in playing out weddings and pretending to get married — and a few guests are even tying the knot for real. They aren't worried about the sanctity of marriage; they can divorce tomorrow if they get bored of each other. And everyone knows that getting married doesn't mean you can't fuck whoever you want!
Since the resort isn't keeping track of how many marriages a guest has, all guests are encouraged to marry as many people as they would like. The more the merrier!
Wild wedding events will continue all throughout the month of February, until the guests find it's gotten stale. A divorce rush will round out the fun at the end of the month.

I wish there was a bread trail or... something to light along the way.
[ Subconsciously, perhaps, she began to lean closer to Jisu, the contact feeling pleasant compared to the hyper-sensitivity to everything else. Her nerves were no closer to sorting things out now than they were during the octopus attack. ]
When you feel a little better, maybe we should try to find some place better.
[ Leaning closer is actually enough of an invitation for her to fully lean over, resting her head against Konoka's shoulder. There's still some points where breathing out comes with a whine, but it looked like her lower abdomen was still twitching from sensitivity and aftershocks that came out of brushing against them. ]
Do you remember any unique smell from where the elevators were, or an important marker before getting stuck in these halls?
[ After the initial fight with the creatures, before the other woman had shown up, it was hard to recall anything past the smell of salt water. With a reminder, however... It would mean exposing what she was, but for good reason. ]
[ Konoka had to dig a bit into her memories, to the point that her initial confused face lingered for a while. By the time she actually looked thoughtful, Konoka had been deeper into trying to recall if she had picked up anything before getting lost. ]
Before I got lost I remember smelling... bath salts. Maybe potpourri? I think I was looking for the baths.
[ Those were the few smells she could recall before getting lost in the dungeon, at least. ]
[ Well, while unfamiliar with the word, they could guess what the meaning and purpose of it was. Perhaps there was a fancy bathing situation down here. That and it's helping her recall a little better on the hint of something floral-ish in the air. Like the other kinds of fragrance sachets and things added for medicinal soaks. ]
I might be able to find a way out for us...
[ The means as to how would probably be shocking. ]
You can't tell anyone about it, though. This is because we really shouldn't be kept down here with those creatures.
[ This girl was speaking about secrets. Frankly, Konoka knew that people had secrets, and whatever talent Jisu had? It probably wouldn't be anywhere near the strangest thing. ]
Then... Start following if I go in a particular direction.
[ There's not much of an explanation before her appearance fades... And there's a nearly 6 foot long blue-black snake with a red head and tail, right where she'd been standing. The human form has it's limits, after all. For a few seconds it's just there on the ground, with slow flicks of the tongue out into the air.
Until it's swiftly gliding along the floor, heading towards a direction. There was a time limit for how long she could stay in this cold water, after all. ]
[ Well, it was the only thing she could say before Jisu suddenly transformed. Konoka gaped in... mild surprise, because she hadn't seen a snake shapeshifter before. But a shapeshifter meant magical stuff, and magical stuff was a curious secret to know, not some alien discovery to spread around.
Besides, Jisu must be pretty magically adept to be able to turn into a snake.
Either way, Konoka ignored her wayward nerves to follow the snake through the cold waters. She took an idle smell of the air itself, but Konoka's nose was nowhere near as adept as Jisu's tongue, all she could smell was salt water. ]
[ Luckily it's pretty easy to follow such a brightly colored snake, even with some water to trudge through. Despite how fast the snake was able to move, they stopped when reaching an intersection, either seeming to what for Konoka or to discern the next direction to track down the source of the scent.
Eventually, they make it out to where there's door that first led into here.
Unable to open it herself, once again the snake became a human to reduce the ratio of how much body was in the cold, even if she lamented being unable to turn back with clothes on her, as she was used to doing. Keeping her arms wrapped around herself to reduce how much she was trembling, she kept a smile up when looking to Konoka. ]
You mentioned the baths before... They're definitely warm ones, right?
[ Their journey is surprisingly quick, all told. Konoka expected a much longer jaunt back to familiarity, but Jisu was able to get to some place familiar within about fifteen or so minutes.
Konoka might not be shivering, but she's barely any warmer than Jisu. ]
I think so. Definitely has to be better than here.
[ Maybe it was just suggestion, but Konoka was starting to smell the potpourri too. ]
[ There were subtleties as to why warming up mattered even more to Jisu, so a warm bath was very appealing. It needed to be better, now that there wasn't the distraction of some weird toxin that made them forget about anything else than what had happened. ]
Pretty close. Enough that we shouldn't need the tongue of a snake to find them.
[ There was also very likely a sign, and after ending up here, it would be easy to see why there was a mistake. Like things being listed alphabetically and saying which side the doors are on, instead of going by the order of the doors as the one that led to the baths was another two down, where the warmer temperature could already be felt.
Walking there was going to be awkward and uncomfortable, though. Changing had helped ease some of the swelling, but not quite all of it. ]
[ And upon reaching that door, the two of them finally managed to find a hall that wasn't a wet, miserable dungeon. As Konoka took a sweeping look to make sure that she was back in the hotel proper, her eyes fell upon the shivering Jisu. Her clothes were half destroyed and half missing, just like Konoka's own. And if she had been transformed into a snake, the chill was definitely getting to her. ]
Thank goodness we're out of that cave. You look like you really need it.
[ To the best of her ability, Konoka guided Jisu into the proper door this time, a decidedly less dungeon-like hall and into a changing room. By now, the steam was apparent that they were close to warm baths. Just like the open baths from home, there were also some showers to first wash off the dungeon's salty grime. ]
[ By the smile she gave Konoka, it was meant to ease any concerns that the younger woman had. As if she weren't shivering. She was right, of course; Jisu desperately needed a warm bath to thaw away the chill. However, it wouldn't do for concerns to take over anything else, or end up being some kind of distraction. Which is what made them getting to the changing room very good timing, as the warm steam eased away the worst bite of the cold almost immediately. ]
Once we scrub away everything off from what had just happened. We could even get each other's backs.
[ In fact, they could make sure that neither missed anything before going in for the soaks. What remained of the clothes was stiffly peeled off and immediately tossed to the trash. With the damages, and it being soaked with salt water and whatever was lingering from those tentacles, she'd rather leave naked or in a robe later on.
Which meant that she wasn't going to stress about it, and walk into the showers to immediately get under a stream of warm water. With a sound of relief, which sounded similar to the lewd noises from earlier, Jisu leaned against the wall to let everything sink in and run off her body for a bit. This was exactly what she'd prescribe right now. ]
[ Truth be told, some part of her wanted more of Jisu's touch, but she buried that under the practical need to get clean. Nice warm water blasting away all that grime had to feel almost liberating. Konoka also took this moment to clean her hair. It was long, and it had gotten wet, so no keeping it dry now. She'd rather it be clean and need a good drying session later. After that, she made sure to fold up her hair and secure it temporarily in a net to keep it away from her back.
Once that was done, Konoka brought over some soap and the cloths they'd use to lather one another down. The small stools the place provided looked comfortable enough, so maybe the odd sensitivity they were feeling wouldn't bother them too much. ]
Gosh, I feel like it's been forever since I got a good shower! You feelin' better too?
[ There certainly was a practical aspect to it all, but despite having offered something practical, it was clear that Jisu was taking the time to enjoy whatever sensations there were. She hadn't even gone through the steps of putting her hair up or gathering anything before getting under the water. Even just wiping away the last of the chill along the skin, sliding the slime off of her breasts, lingering and moving slowly over her nipples, seemed to be about indulging in the heat. ]
Mm... Much better. You want to feel?
[ While entering something this nice and warm was certainly stimulating in some ways, given what was leaking out to get rinsed away by the running water, there may still be some kind of toxin at work as well. She offered her hand for Konoka to come closer to her, instead of going to sit on one of the stools. ]
[ Konoka had refrained from getting touchy-feely out of politeness, despite their earlier intimacy. That had been under duress, right? But now that Jisu was offering, Konoka could not resist. She pushed the stool aside with her leg to bring her cloth to Jisu's front. The idea that she was supposed to scrub the places Jisu couldn't reach was forgotten at the moment, because right now she was taking a soapy cloth to gently run over the other woman's skin. Compared to earlier in the dungeon, this one felt... sensual to her. ]
Is that good?
[ Konoka asked, realizing that she might have been a little brazen. That didn't mean she was stopping, however. ]
[ It was when the soapy cloth was being run over her skin that it clicked for Jisu that the invitation must've sounded like it was for that and not just the hot water. Just as the writer intended. Yet despite being surprised, she found herself welcoming the contact and needing to lean harder against the shower wall. Though it wasn't clear whether Jisu was running the soapy water around her breasts as further enticement, or because it was that satisfying on a sensory level. ]
[ Konoka was hardly any judge about doing things just for the sensory satisfaction. Running a smooth, sudsy cloth over Jisu's skin felt so nice. But as she started trying to soap up her sides and move to her back, Konoka realized that maybe there was something better than cloth-to-skin contact: skin-to-skin contact.
Konoka leaned into Jisu deliberately this time once she went to scrubbing her back from the front, as if rubbing her in an embrace. In a strange world where everything could get topsy-turvy in a moment, Konoka couldn't help but find a little comfort in touch. It affirmed that whatever she might be going through, Konoka herself didn't change suddenly. ]
I bathed with classmates before in public baths when I was younger. Don't think I ever got this close to them, though.
[ The only thing better than hot water running over your body was the heat of another body against you, so as Konoka wrapped around her, Jisu snapped a little out of the self-sensory loop she'd gotten into. Almost as smoothly as she was rubbing at herself, her now-soapy hands ran over the breasts that were against her before leaning into the embrace more than the cool wall. ]
No, I don't think they usually get quite like this.
[ Resting against Konoka's shoulder, her lips were brushed just barely against her neck. Which actually was on purpose this time, so that when she spoke, it'd be a little like leaving small kisses against the skin. Something nice to do as her hands continued exploring along the other woman's body without the rush of tentacles forcing their actions. ]
[ While Konoka did have the goal of scrubbing Jisu clean, the other woman's attention was proving distracting enough to slow her down. Not that she minded, because she very much intended to take her sweet time as long as she felt good.
She let her eyelids droop slightly thanks to the sensation of Jisu's touches, ever so faintly feeling her lips even while Konoka herself slowly explored the small of Jisu's back and the curve of her butt.
She shifted slightly, and became very aware of her nipples against Jisu's skin. And that felt absolutely delightful. Konoka felt her normal patience start to thin a bit. ]
Oh, gotta be careful not to overdo it. This skin is nice and smooth, and it should stay that way even after we leave the bath...
[ Jisu was also quite keenly aware, which is what had her snap out of that loop earlier, and what made her happy to run her hands over the body embracing her. Each breath made her both increasingly aware of where her nipples were against, but also the pair that were against her. Almost as much as the hand that was still running that cloth along her, softly humming out a sound as it went along the curve of her butt. ]
Could always use soap on our hands... There's one other important place to get.
[ Which she'll demonstrate with her own hand going down between Konoka's legs, rubbing up against her lips first before deeper against the folds. Yet with the way Jisu was acting, it was just a nice feel-good way of taking care of one another, keeping pressure off the idea of anything else. ]
[ Konoka started, but the moment that soapy hand dropped between her thighs, a little moan escaped her, and at once she understood. ]
Yeah~
[ Those warm fingers helped stave off that restless neediness that had developed from their teasing. Like Jisu, though, Konoka did not feel the need to rush. Konoka took a moment to lather her hands without leaving Jisu's embrace, before exploring once more. She also began to rub between Jisu's legs, though she was being a bit more of a tease about it (though to be fair, Jisu's fingers were making it just a little difficult to concentrate her touch). Konoka shared a gaze with Jisu, watching her carefully, but guarding nothing of her own pleasure. ]
[ It was important to get the slime off from those areas, so Jisu wasn't simply trying to find an excuse, but she was finding these words quickly turning on her. With Konoka's teasing hand, she'd be able to feel the way her chin trembled already and how her own hands were faltering. There didn't even have to be a deep press to feel that her clitoris was so swollen, even that was pushing through past the lips.
But the silver eyes caught on to the gaze towards her and couldn't look away, or hide how easily affected she was. There was a dark heat in there, trying hard to not just give in or release too strong of a groan. Which, no wonder there were lips and a chin trembling from that attempt. It felt unfairly nice after fighting off the tentacles for so long.
Before long, Jisu closed the gap between them to capture Konoka's lips, letting her swallow the whine that was building up in her body as she leaned into the hand between her legs. ]
[ For a while, Konoka felt like she could get lost in Jisu's eyes. Maybe if she stared hard enough, they'd reveal her own reflection, showing off just how needy she was. The thought turned her cheeks aflame, but she didn't stop her fingers.
On the contrary, now that Jisu's lust was perfectly obvious, Konoka finally managed to focus enough on rubbing her fingers against that swollen clit. As Jisu pushed in her, so Konoka used her thumb to tease that firm nub while alternately using two fingers to push deep inside the other woman. And somehow, she did this without breaking eye contact.
Thank goodness she didn't because otherwise she wouldn't have seen that kiss coming.
The tension had been so thick Konoka hadn't recognized it until it snapped. Jisu's lips met hers, and Konoka, greedy for their sensation, kissed back. She closed her eyes and let her fingers dig deep. ]
Mmmnnnh...
[ At that point, she couldn't hold back vocalizing the sheer pleasure she felt, so she didn't even try. ]
[ It's increasingly clear that the kiss was not only to break the tension, but to have Konoka swallow more than just that whine she had when starting. Aside from deepening the kiss further to taste inside Konoka's mouth, and just invite that added level of intimacy, the sounds were increasingly similar to nearly begging, or going particularly deep when her clit is rubbed into, or the fingers hit that sensitive point.
Jisu was actually proving to be quite weak to such types of stimulation, her hand starting to tremble or fall way from Konoka's clit and folds that she was trying to rub circles around. The hand always finds its way back with the very thorough 'lathering,' but it was clearly difficult to maintain composure.
The writhing and nearly trying to grind or ride into the fingers became more prominent as her other hand went to cup around Konoka's neck to keep their kissing going. Each heavy breath was like having their nipples and body rub more against Konoka's front, far more pleased to rub up against her at their own preferred pressure and rhythms, instead of some creature that threw them against one another. ]
[ Though her own stimulation weakened, Konoka pressed her advantage. Since Jisu went through all that trouble for her, she really wanted to pay back the favor. It didn't hurt in the least that Jisu's needy hum sounded so sweet to her ears.
She began to rub a little more deliberately with the fingers inside her, all while the other hand continued to lightly caress (and maybe clean?) her back. More than that, doing this under their own control felt nigh liberating, compared to those creatures afflicting them with tentacles. She absolutely wanted more.
So Konoka sped up those fingers, now to really drive home that pleasure. ]

And if she had been transformed into a snake, the chill was definitely getting to her. ]
Thank goodness we're out of that cave. You look like you really need it.
[ To the best of her ability, Konoka guided Jisu into the proper door this time, a decidedly less dungeon-like hall and into a changing room. By now, the steam was apparent that they were close to warm baths. Just like the open baths from home, there were also some showers to first wash off the dungeon's salty grime. ]
Shall we get warm, finally?
no subject
Once we scrub away everything off from what had just happened. We could even get each other's backs.
[ In fact, they could make sure that neither missed anything before going in for the soaks. What remained of the clothes was stiffly peeled off and immediately tossed to the trash. With the damages, and it being soaked with salt water and whatever was lingering from those tentacles, she'd rather leave naked or in a robe later on.
Which meant that she wasn't going to stress about it, and walk into the showers to immediately get under a stream of warm water. With a sound of relief, which sounded similar to the lewd noises from earlier, Jisu leaned against the wall to let everything sink in and run off her body for a bit. This was exactly what she'd prescribe right now. ]
The pressure feels so good...
no subject
[ Truth be told, some part of her wanted more of Jisu's touch, but she buried that under the practical need to get clean. Nice warm water blasting away all that grime had to feel almost liberating. Konoka also took this moment to clean her hair. It was long, and it had gotten wet, so no keeping it dry now. She'd rather it be clean and need a good drying session later. After that, she made sure to fold up her hair and secure it temporarily in a net to keep it away from her back.
Once that was done, Konoka brought over some soap and the cloths they'd use to lather one another down. The small stools the place provided looked comfortable enough, so maybe the odd sensitivity they were feeling wouldn't bother them too much. ]
Gosh, I feel like it's been forever since I got a good shower! You feelin' better too?
no subject
Mm... Much better. You want to feel?
[ While entering something this nice and warm was certainly stimulating in some ways, given what was leaking out to get rinsed away by the running water, there may still be some kind of toxin at work as well. She offered her hand for Konoka to come closer to her, instead of going to sit on one of the stools. ]
no subject
Is that good?
[ Konoka asked, realizing that she might have been a little brazen. That didn't mean she was stopping, however. ]
no subject
Just as the writer intended.Yet despite being surprised, she found herself welcoming the contact and needing to lean harder against the shower wall. Though it wasn't clear whether Jisu was running the soapy water around her breasts as further enticement, or because it was that satisfying on a sensory level. ]Mm... Yeah, it feels really nice.
[ It could also be both, very easily. ]
no subject
Konoka leaned into Jisu deliberately this time once she went to scrubbing her back from the front, as if rubbing her in an embrace. In a strange world where everything could get topsy-turvy in a moment, Konoka couldn't help but find a little comfort in touch. It affirmed that whatever she might be going through, Konoka herself didn't change suddenly. ]
I bathed with classmates before in public baths when I was younger. Don't think I ever got this close to them, though.
[ It was a light, slightly teasing remark. ]
It's a pretty nice experience, I think.
no subject
No, I don't think they usually get quite like this.
[ Resting against Konoka's shoulder, her lips were brushed just barely against her neck. Which actually was on purpose this time, so that when she spoke, it'd be a little like leaving small kisses against the skin. Something nice to do as her hands continued exploring along the other woman's body without the rush of tentacles forcing their actions. ]
It is quite nice like this.
no subject
She let her eyelids droop slightly thanks to the sensation of Jisu's touches, ever so faintly feeling her lips even while Konoka herself slowly explored the small of Jisu's back and the curve of her butt.
She shifted slightly, and became very aware of her nipples against Jisu's skin. And that felt absolutely delightful. Konoka felt her normal patience start to thin a bit. ]
Oh, gotta be careful not to overdo it. This skin is nice and smooth, and it should stay that way even after we leave the bath...
no subject
Could always use soap on our hands... There's one other important place to get.
[ Which she'll demonstrate with her own hand going down between Konoka's legs, rubbing up against her lips first before deeper against the folds. Yet with the way Jisu was acting, it was just a nice feel-good way of taking care of one another, keeping pressure off the idea of anything else. ]
no subject
[ Konoka started, but the moment that soapy hand dropped between her thighs, a little moan escaped her, and at once she understood. ]
Yeah~
[ Those warm fingers helped stave off that restless neediness that had developed from their teasing. Like Jisu, though, Konoka did not feel the need to rush. Konoka took a moment to lather her hands without leaving Jisu's embrace, before exploring once more. She also began to rub between Jisu's legs, though she was being a bit more of a tease about it (though to be fair, Jisu's fingers were making it just a little difficult to concentrate her touch). Konoka shared a gaze with Jisu, watching her carefully, but guarding nothing of her own pleasure. ]
no subject
But the silver eyes caught on to the gaze towards her and couldn't look away, or hide how easily affected she was. There was a dark heat in there, trying hard to not just give in or release too strong of a groan. Which, no wonder there were lips and a chin trembling from that attempt. It felt unfairly nice after fighting off the tentacles for so long.
Before long, Jisu closed the gap between them to capture Konoka's lips, letting her swallow the whine that was building up in her body as she leaned into the hand between her legs. ]
no subject
On the contrary, now that Jisu's lust was perfectly obvious, Konoka finally managed to focus enough on rubbing her fingers against that swollen clit. As Jisu pushed in her, so Konoka used her thumb to tease that firm nub while alternately using two fingers to push deep inside the other woman. And somehow, she did this without breaking eye contact.
Thank goodness she didn't because otherwise she wouldn't have seen that kiss coming.
The tension had been so thick Konoka hadn't recognized it until it snapped. Jisu's lips met hers, and Konoka, greedy for their sensation, kissed back. She closed her eyes and let her fingers dig deep. ]
Mmmnnnh...
[ At that point, she couldn't hold back vocalizing the sheer pleasure she felt, so she didn't even try. ]
no subject
Jisu was actually proving to be quite weak to such types of stimulation, her hand starting to tremble or fall way from Konoka's clit and folds that she was trying to rub circles around. The hand always finds its way back with the very thorough 'lathering,' but it was clearly difficult to maintain composure.
The writhing and nearly trying to grind or ride into the fingers became more prominent as her other hand went to cup around Konoka's neck to keep their kissing going. Each heavy breath was like having their nipples and body rub more against Konoka's front, far more pleased to rub up against her at their own preferred pressure and rhythms, instead of some creature that threw them against one another. ]
no subject
She began to rub a little more deliberately with the fingers inside her, all while the other hand continued to lightly caress (and maybe clean?) her back. More than that, doing this under their own control felt nigh liberating, compared to those creatures afflicting them with tentacles. She absolutely wanted more.
So Konoka sped up those fingers, now to really drive home that pleasure. ]
