EVENS
EVENS
Soft. Warm. Cozy.

The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?

As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.

But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.

They’re not alone.

All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?

Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.

The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.

GIFT BASKET DELIGHTS (PLEASE DON’T COMPLAIN) ▷ Charming Novelty T-shirts: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
All Natural Body Care
A Luxury Candle
A Box of Holiday Cookies
12-Pack of Resort Branded Health Items

Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.

All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.

BATHROOM MISCHIEFTHE SOAP WANTS TO DROP: Soap is slippery, but it seems as though some of the bars are intent on slipping out of hand and onto the floor. Some even shoot across the open concept showers and hit someone else. But how could soap throw itself at someone?! Are you sure you're not just looking for attention?

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOURSELF: As the steam from the showers rolls through the bathroom the mirrors begin to fog. Strange enough, fogging the mirrors begins to reveal some kind of message ... and not just any message. Wildcards may discover one of the worst private thoughts they've ever had written out on the mirror for all to see. Hiding it as easy as wiping away the vapor, but you can never really escape your truest thoughts.

SHAM-ME, SHAM-YOU: There are several shampoo scents for wildcards to choose from in the cabinets. One particular formula, Saltmarsh Sparrow, isn't quite like the others. This particular shampoo is designed to pair with the wearer's natural scent. Wildcards may find that they are leaking faint pheromones that incite lust and arousal in potential mates. Use too much shampoo and you may even be affected by your own scent!

YOU, ME, AND THIS COMMUNAL TUB: The communal bathroom also includes a large soaking tub that can accommodate several guests at once. There are scrubbing stones kept around the pool for guest use and jars of mud masks to wear while enjoying a soak. Mud masks will leave even the dullest skin feeling hydrated and fresh—amazing! But... what is this? The very teeny tiny font on the bottom of the jars say, "Mud will not wash off by the same hands that applied it. We recommend finding a partner to apply masks with. Enjoy!"

Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.

But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.

OPEN THIS FUCKING DOORWildcards may find that the closet door will slam closed and lock while they are inside. This will only happen if there are two wildcards inside the closet.

A giggle from the other side of the door is proof that it wasn’t an accident but the voice will not respond to any questions or demands. Only when asked what they need to do to be released will there will be another soft giggle and the demand: “Kiss, kiss, kiss for seven minutes!

Wildcards who abide by the kissing ghost's rule will be released promptly after seven minutes of kissing. Those that do not will be trapped inside until one of the staff members comes around and unlocks the door.

Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!
ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.

The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.

Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.

Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.

LOST IN THE VALE ▷ The Vale is the only area in the resort that has simulated weather. Wildcards in the Vale may experience thunderstorms, windstorms, and light rain showers. Those who don't find their way out by night hours will find themselves plunged into darkness, with the bioluminescent mushrooms their only source of light.

▷ There are small caves and caverns throughout the Vale. There is overhead connected netting throughout the trees that may make travel easier for those agile enough to get up there. A river with fresh water runs throughout the entirety of the Vale.

▷ There are real birds living in the Vale. These birds find newcomers very interesting and like to swoop and peck if they see a good opportunity to bully. They are easily frightened off but quick to return if someone is particularly reactive.

▷ The Vale is very moist at ground level so mud and sinkholes are common. There are scattered stone and wood-plank pathways but for the most part the set-up is very natural.

Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.

Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.

There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.

SEXY? TRAPSCAGE: A lofted wooden cage. This trap is triggered when the prey crosses a hidden tripwire. The cage will fall from above and enclose the prey if they are not quick enough to evade. The cage is heavy and difficult to move. Escapable if the prey is strong enough or if someone lends assistance.

HANGING NET: Netting hidden on the ground by leaves or moss. Stepping into the net area will trigger the trap into pulling up and capturing its prey in lofted bundle. Escapable if the prey manages to cut through the net or if someone lends assistance and breaks the pully rope.

MUD PIT: A deep hole hidden on the ground by leaves, moss, or carefully placed bushes. Prey will fall into the hole once stepping into it. Depths may reach 6 - 7 feet so prey cannot climb out on their own. Escapable for those with good agility or if someone lends assistance.

ANKLE SNARE: A rope loop hidden beneath leaves, moss, or other craftily laid vegetation. This trap is triggered when the prey steps into the snare. Rope will tighten around the prey's ankle to keep them in place. This trap may remain on the ground or loft the prey so that they're hanging upside-down from a tree. Escapable for those who can cut the rope or if someone lends assistance.

After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.

They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.

“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”


These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.

IT'S AN ORGY Y'ALLFINDERS KEEPERS: None of the long-standing guests are paying attending to the clothes they've stripped off. Some of these clothing items may even have small items in the pockets, like a zippo lighter and cigarettes. Wildcards that dare to snatch clothes or items most likely won't be caught ... but if a guest does catch them, what are they gonna do other than give chase? If you're fast enough it's all yours.

FREE LUNCH IS NEVER FREE: All of the food and drink offered by the guests on the pagoda is spiked with aphrodisiac. Intensity varies from a very slight amount to a full dose, at player discretion. Regardless of potency, wildcards will find that effects do not last long.

MOVE OVER, BUB: The bathroom in the pagoda is small, comfortably fitting two at best. There is a shower with a limited amount of hot water available. The gauge will show as the amount of hot water declines. Once the hot water runs out wildcards can only use ice cold water to wash off the mud. It would be effective to shower together, wouldn't it?

WHO STARTED THIS PARTY: Pagoda guests will become wilder as the party goes on. Wildcards may end up voyeur to guests having sex out in the open. Some guests will try to match up with wildcards or try to match wildcards simply because they would look good together. Particularly frisky guests will playfully chase wildcards around. Good luck, newbie!

Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.

*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.

There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.

Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.

They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).

5 GOLD RINGS GAME ▷ The poinsettias are changing vases! Hey, they like to be fashionable too. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in their roots as they dart across the floor to the next pot.

▷ Poinsettias are quick and clever. They will dodge, hide, and use bystanders as shields to avoid being caught. Once they’re in their new vase they cannot be taken out. They’re very stubborn.

▷ Poinsettias that are startled may give off a spurt of strong aroma. Wildcards that inhale this scent may break out into a rash. The cure is to climax/orgasm, which will get rid of the rash immediately. It may last up to a week otherwise. An embarrassed poinsettia may offer this explanation, apologetic for doing the flower equivalent of farting in your face.

▷ Gold rings can be retrieved from their roots. Taking these rings is harmless to them but they will be a bit bummed since these rings granted them the ability to scurry around. Please be kind and deposit them into a vase so they are not left stranded on the resort floor!

▷ Each ring collected may have either a slight charm or slight curse. A ring will either grant a brief boost to physical ability (charm) or drain physical ability (curse). Rings are single time use and will become plain gold rings after a brief use period. Players are welcome to choose if the rings they collect are charmed or cursed.

Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.

These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.

"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"


Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.

Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.
RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.

Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.


"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"


Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.

RED CARDINAL’S HOMEMADE HOLIDAY MENU ▷ Shrimp and Leek Dumplings; Vegetable Dumplings
▷ Squid Kebabs with Oyster Sauce
▷ Spicy Crawfish Pot (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️)
▷ Rice Noodles served with Sour Beans, Peanuts, Bamboo Shoots, and Shallots
▷ Hand-Pulled Noodles, Thin Beef, Boiled Egg served in Fish Broth
▷ Steamed Crab
▷ Carp with Sichuan Pickles
▷ Kung Pao Chicken (🌶️)
▷ Spicy Beef in Hot Oil (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️)
▷ Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce (🌶️)
▷ Red Braised Pork
▷ Sweet and Sour Ribs
▷ Mapo Tofu (🌶️🌶️)
▷ Twice-Cooked Pork Slices
▷ Hot and Sour Glass Noodles (🌶️🌶️🌶️)
▷ Fried Eggs with Tomatoes

▷ Steamed Pea Flour Cake
▷ Osmanthus Cake
▷ Mung Bean Cake
▷ Egg-Yolk Puff
▷ Dragon's Beard Candy
▷ Steamed Creamy Custard Buns
▷ Rice Dumplings

Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.

Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.

RED CARDINAL’S HOMEMADE WINESWEET OSMANTHUS: A sweet wine with notes of apricot and plum. A healthy dollop of the butterflies one feels during first love has been blended in to evoke an even brighter taste on the palate. Drinking Sweet Osmanthus will inspire feelings of love and romance in the drinker.

JAMMY BERRY: A tart wine with notes of blackberry, raspberry, and bayberry. A clever tongue may also taste the unshed tears for those without mourners. Drinking Jammy Berry will compel the drinker to cry. Full on waterworks. You baby.

CHILLED NUT: A mild and nutty wine with notes of chestnut and mint. All that's added to this one is a sprinkle of those bad ideas that always come past 2am. Drinking Chilled Nut will prompt the drinker to confess a secret.

LOTUS TANG: A deep-bodied wine with notes of wood and oak. A cup and a half of blended confidence from "the strongest" men as been liberally whisked in. Drinking Lotus Tang will give the drinker a massive confidence boost and the sense self-importance to match.

All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!

Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.

Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.

Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.

DRESSING ROOMSANONYMOUS FUN: Many of the stalls have strange holes cut into the walls, making it easy to peer into the next room over. However, an astute wildcard may realize that these holes are too big to be peepholes. One may even come to that realization because of an unexpected visitor poking through the hole to say hello.

YOU’D LOOK BETTER IN THIS: The lights in the dressing rooms may flicker on and off during the night. After that blink of darkness, wildcards may find that the clothes they were going to try on have been swapped with something completely different.

FOREBODING: Wildcards may find that their reflection in the mirror is pale and tired. The lips of that reflection will move, a faint flick not noticeable to anyone else around, only to the one looking directly at their own face and knowing they aren't whispering. This reflection will try to warn its original... but will quickly freeze up, unable to get the message out before returning to normal.

At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.

All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.

Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.

TRY A NEW FACEHEARTS: Several of the red masks have been marked by Hearts. The wearer will be able to glean a vague sense of the emotions of those around them.

DIAMONDS: Several of the white masks have been marked by Diamonds. The wearer’s body will become especially sensitive to touch and temperature.

SPADES: Several of the black masks have been marked by Spades. The wearer will experience a heightened desire for intensity or violence.

CLUBS: Several of the purple masks have been marked by Clubs. The wearer will become compelled to act impulsively or recklessly.

Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.
LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?

Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.

Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.

Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.

SEX TOYS GET LONELY TOODILDOS: The dildos will chase after guests to try and fill whatever hole they can. These dildos are indiscriminate and will target any hole, so watch out for these pests trying to jam into one of your nostrils. Dildos will target the nearest character and will change targets if another one is within closer range.

SHIBARI ROPE: The shibari rope has uncoiled itself and is hiding in wait to capture two people together. When it spies an opportunity it will throw itself forward and try to knot two individuals together. It will target a single individual if no one else is close enough to catch with them.

FEATHER TICKLER: The feather ticklers are surprisingly aggressive, chasing after characters to tickle them to tears. Sometimes these ticklers work together to trap characters into a corner and tickle them. A very unlucky character may even run into a flock of ticklers!

LEASH AND COLLAR: The leash and collar set will play dead until someone is close enough. The collar will snap around the neck of the closest individual and the leash will drag them toward someone else to hold.

The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ How mask abilities manifest in the wearer is totally up to you. For example, the way a Heart mask wearer senses emotions can vary from character to character. There is no one right way to apply the prompt.
▶ Consequences for breaking the toys are totally up to player discretion. Have fun.
▶ Toys can be quelled in other ways. If your character has the ability, go for it.
▶ All subprompts are suggestions. Please feel free to get creative! Listen to your heart, when he’s calling for you.



CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.

All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?

There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.

The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.

The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.

COCKTAIL MENUGOLD GLAMOUR: Those that drink Gold Glamour will find that they are now able to change their voice. A popular choice among guests that really want to lean into becoming someone else for the night.

DIAMOND DUST: Those that drink Diamond Dust will find their walls slowly lowering. Suddenly, being vulnerable and open to connecting with people doesn't seem so bad. Something to help loosen up your favorite introvert.

RUBY TONGUE: Those that drink Ruby Tongue will not be able to tell a lie for the next hour or so. No matter how hard they try they will only speak honestly. Ruby Tongue won’t let you hide from yourself, even at a masquerade.

Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?

The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

VIRGIN AUCTION In a room draped in red velvets and spotted with plush couches, wildcards will find themselves either snatched up to a wooden stage or given a number. The distinction between the two is simple: staff will judge which characters are virgins and which are not. Virgins are included in the auction and all others are given the opportunity to bid on them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome … to the annual Virgin Auction!! Gaze upon these fresh nubile virgins in awe! So clean and so untouched. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to bask in the glow of their freshness!

▷ Virgins will be asked to give an introduction of themselves on stage. Afterward, they can walk the floor and interact with bidders as they please. Virgins are a rare novelty in the resort so NPC guests will fawn over them and offer them gifts like chocolates and flowers. Some may even read crappy love poetry to them.

▷ Bidders may submit their bids via Watch directly to their virgin of choice. If the virgin likes the bid and the guest submitting it they can accept immediately. If not, they can wait for another bid. After 30 minutes, if they have no other bids, they must accept their highest bid.

▷ Virgins need only spend 1 hour of their time on a “date” with the winner of their bid. They do not need to lose their virginity. Virgins will be paid a medium payout for participating in the auction and paid 20% commission from their winning bid.


LOCK & KEY Gold and red melt together in this cozy game room. Adorned with padlock and ribbon decor, wildcards will only have a moment to admire the space before being snatched away by staff. Some wildcards will simply be given a key and returned to the room. Others will find themselves buckled into a harness or belt of some kind—but this isn’t any belt. It's a chastity belt. A rather uncomfortable one at that.

One hour to find your match, all! Anyone that doesn’t find their match after time has passed will be locked in the pillory and spanked as punishment! Welcome to the Locked Chastity Game!!

▷ Locks are looking for their matching key! Guests must find their match in order to win the game.

▷ Locks and keys that do not manage to find their match by the end of 1 hour will lose the game and have chips deducted from their bank account. They will also be locked into a pillory and spanked.

▷ Chastity belts may be over clothes or under clothes. How intense of a belt a character is wearing is left to player discretion. Some are very raunchy and may require direct contact with intimate areas to access.

▷ Once the game begins the door is closed. Candles that let off a strong aphrodisiac will be lit to add some urgency to the matchmaking. How strongly a character is affected is left to player discretion.


DIRTY DICE In another large room with small scattered game tables tables, pairs and groups will be given a special set of dice to play with. Two bold guests take the lead and show everyone how to play the game. One guest tosses both dice: one lands on BITE and the other on BREAST. He grabs his game partner and peels down her collar to sink his teeth playfully into her breast. She then takes her turn, the dice commanding another intimate action.

Got it, newbies? This is an easy beginner game. Roll the dice and do what it says. You both take turns, and if neither wimps out and does what the dice say four times in a row, you win a prize. That’s Dirty Dice for you!

DIE A
1: Bite
2: Kiss
3: Caress
4: Grab
5: Lick
6: Sniff
DIE B
1: Lips
2: Breast
3: Mouth
4: Neck
5: Ass
6: Knee


▷ If both players manage to complete four rolls they both will receive a medium payout.

▷ If one player manages to complete four rolls they will receive a small payout alone.

▷ If neither player manages to complete four rolls they get nothing.

▷ We recommend players use RNG during this game for random fun!


MASTER & PET This particular room notably has several smaller breakout rooms, all decorated in sensual black silks. Every character that steps inside will be guided into drawing a card from a box. The card will either denote Master or Pet. Staff are quick to divide those who have selected master and pet cards and set them up for play.

Welcome, Masters. We have a variety toys and pets for you to choose from. Your wish is our command. Here, you can have whatever you want. You’re in control.

▷ Masters will be given a selection of toys to browse. Players are free to imagine anything in the piles of stock that masters get to choose from.

▷ Pets will be collared and given a metal tag denoting whether the pet is a cat or a dog. This distinction is made based on character personality.

▷ Masters may request a random matchup or examine the available pets and choose the one that catches their eye. Both will then be escorted to a private room to play.

▷ Pets that manage to satisfy their master will receive a medium payout after play.

ɪ. ᴀʀʀɪᴠᴀʟ ✧ ᴇᴠᴇɴs


a. good morning sunshine
[ awareness trickles into his subconscious in increments, swaddled in cozy warmth and the heavy dregs of a deep slumber. it clings to his thoughts as he groans, shaking his head to try and clear his mind of the lethargy swarming his senses. it works, a little bit; blue eyes open and confusion helps the rest of the way, ejecting him into wakefulness so abruptly it would give a lesser person whiplash.

the first thing he notices is that he's dressed in clothes that are distinctly not his own, along with the room he's in. to say it's shitty is a stretch (this is a resort? for what, hilichurls?), but as he sits up he notices that the sheets are ostentatious, soft enough that it feels foreign on his skin, and there's something on his wrist.

it's as he's bringing his wrist up to read over the message that he realizes he's not alone in the bed. there's someone else bundled up in blankets and a similar-looking terry cloth bathrobe, spooning him from behind as if this were some kind of lovers' retreat.

he can't see them, but he can reach back and try and shake/gently pry them off. ]


Hey, you awake? Helloooo?


b. coming out of the closet
[ after the initial jarring experience of waking up next to a stranger and all the problems that came with it, Childe found himself more and more curious about the circumstances that had brought him here and where exactly here was. the last thing he remembered was being in Fontaine, and then.. nothing. it made him wonder if this was all just some highly complex, realistic dream, especially since he didn't possess the normal aches and pains that came from a good bout.

his wanderings take him to a handful of staff gathered together who, at his questions, end up ushering him to a supply closet where he can change into something more comfortable.

by the time the next helpless wildcard gets shoved and locked in he's got a tracksuit in his hands he's yet to change into, and he gives his new acquaintance a nod. ]


They got you too, huh? You can try breaking the door down, but it's pretty sturdy. [ and the chanting begins, interspersed with giggles, telling them to kiss for seven minutes. ]


ɪɪ. ᴍᴀsǫᴜᴇʀᴀᴅᴇ ✧ ᴄᴀsɪɴᴏ ғʟᴏᴏʀ


a.
[ by this point he's gotten the gist of how things work. it's not hard to pick out the wealthy from how it's flaunted in dazzling displays of precious gems and fine metals, but he's never really been one to schmooze or rub elbows with the elite in order to rise up the ranks of society. the gambling? that's more his forte.

Childe can be found at one of the roulette tables, learning the card games, or trying his luck at the dice. there's a drink in his hand, half-full; and just as he leans in to survey his hand or dice or slot on the roulette wheel, phantom hands tug at his glass and - tip it over, directly onto whoever's next to him. ]


Whoa! [ he rights it quickly, but the damage has been done. oops. ] Shit, sorry about that - I don't know what happened.


ɪɪɪ. ᴡɪʟᴅᴄᴀʀᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪʟᴅᴄᴀʀᴅ


[ don't like any of these options? feel free to hit me with something or dm or plurk me @ [plurk.com profile] resfeber! def open to smut threads, don't be shy :) kinklist still wip but i'm pretty open to a lot of stuff. ]

I. Arrival

[personal profile] armwriostle 2023-12-16 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's the fight or flight that kicks in. That rush of adrenaline one gets when suddenly waking up fully in mere moments. Wriothesley immediately reaches out to grab that wrist before shoving the other back into the bed and straddling the man's legs with his thighs. He's not aiming for hurting but mostly subduing them before they-

He's quick to recognize who the other person was. Childe...the guy who had miraculously disappear from the Fortress.
]

What? [He lets go of the man's wrist. He's so caught off guard seeing the younger man that he momentarily forgets how off everything else was.] Where have you been?
acutabove: (pic#15096128)

that side-eye tho

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-16 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well, this was certainly unexpected.

before he can muster up the foresight to tap into all his years of combat experience his world's abruptly shifted, the silky satin sheets bunching up around him as he finds himself flat on his back with a strong pair of thighs caging him in. Wriothesley has the advantage of surprise, something Childe can appreciate even as he finds himself on the receiving end of his subjugation.

after all, he'd be lying if he said he hadn't wanted a go with the warden of the Fortress of Meropide ever since he laid eyes on him. ]


Where have I been? [ he echoes, taking his hand back and letting it rust in one of the bunched up mounds of satin. ] Back home or - here? Because I just got here. I think.
armwriostle: Credit to <user name="brokiloen"> (pic#16800986)

You can't just touch a guy while he's sleeping. They haven't even had their first date.

[personal profile] armwriostle 2023-12-17 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't get off him yet. Just two bros hanging out in a bed together and having a conversation. Nothing weird about it.]

Back home. You disappeared in the Fortress. [Disappeared. Not escaped. He was sure escape isn't the right word, because there's no whiff of the man lingering anywhere in Fontaine. The man was just gone and no one could find out where exactly.]

As far as I'm concerned, we both just got here, so that wouldn't mean anything. [Speaking of here, he finally glances around the room. He takes in the room around him quickly before looking back at Childe still below him.] Wherever here is.

'yet'

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ it makes him wonder just what had transpired in the Fortress after his "disappearance". for Childe, the experience was one he couldn't quite put into words and wasn't sure how to even begin to explain. that delved into parts of his past he'd just as sooner not reveal (the Traveller was an exception).

he'd never really had much beef with Wriothesley. if he'd ever been slighted by him it was purely because the man wouldn't meet him in the arena, but that was something that could easily be fixed (fight him). ]


Your guess is as good as mine. [ is what he says, which could be an answer to one or both of his questions. as Wriothesley shifts to take a glance around the room before looking back at him, Childe takes the opportunity to fit one of his hands against the back of the other's neck, one foot bracing on the bed as he heaves with his body to try and switch their positions. ]
armwriostle: Credit to <user name="brokiloen"> (pic#16801014)

Better wine and dine him on that Harbinger paycheck Childe.

[personal profile] armwriostle 2023-12-17 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, you know. The usual. The Knave sending children to a prison to try and investigate and the Chief Justice making up a ridiculous crime to send the Traveler down to do the same. It's one of those weeks.

While he had issues with the Fatui sending people to infiltrate his territory, he didn't really have any particular dislike towards Childe. Childe was an inmate and so he would treat them as so. The most frustrating part was just the man disappearing under his nose. Maybe it's his pride, but it was more to do that there was no explanation that could be made about the man's disappearance.

Wriothesley isn't surprised when he finds himself pinned down to the bed. He knew by looking away for even a moment meant he was offering a window for the other to get the upper hand. Childe was a Harbringer after all. Childe is at least rewarded a sharp intake of breath as he braces himself for the certain position change and a quiet exhaling of breath after.

His expression doesn't change as he finds the ginger atop of him looking down at him.
] Hmm. Well it seems we're in quite a situation then.
acutabove: (pic#15183418)

who needs money he can cook

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it would be impossible to write off the little hitch of breath that Wriothesley lets out as something to ignore, especially when he can feel for himself the muscles hidden beneath the terry cloth robe. Wriothesley possessed the physique of a fighter - and why shouldn't he, given where Childe had first laid eyes on him? ]

I dunno, you look pretty good like this. Not exactly a "situation".

[ without his vision or his delusion to aid him he knew that any kind of combat they ended up getting into would be animalistic, primal in the best kind of way. close quarters was something he never really indulged in, despite how personal it could be. but he wouldn't deny the chance if it came up. ]

You're not getting shy on me, are you?
armwriostle: Credit to <user name="brokiloen"> (pic#16801004)

Oh come on, can't you spoil him a little bit?

[personal profile] armwriostle 2023-12-18 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[It's blatant the way Childe looks him over. The robe does very little to hide much of anything and he doesn't care to do anything about it anyways. He just tilts his head with a raised eyebrow before he lets out a laugh.

He rests his hands on Childe's thighs.
] Aren't you a little too energetic for just waking up? I haven't even had my morning tea. [Seriously though. This guy has too much energy for just getting up.

A shake of his head.
] How can I? You're literally on top of me.

No, if you couldn't break it down, I doubt I'd have much more success.

[ It's hard to get the leverage to properly knock a door down from a wheelchair. She knows this from personal experience. ]

Do you think they'd really let us out if we... [ She's a bit wary of the whole situation, not least because she came in here to get one of those tracksuits - all she's got at the moment is the bathrobe she woke up in. ]

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-16 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... hard to say, but I'm game for trying.

[ there's the unspoken only if you are, but the look he gives her should say it loud and clear. moreover, he's curious about what she's sitting on ... he's seen wheelchairs before, but nothing so advanced - certainly not made of anything other than wood. ]

I take it you're also not from around here?
thephotosynthesis: (Default)

It's very different

[personal profile] thephotosynthesis 2023-12-16 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She'd call it a pretty normal set of wheels, but 1940s technology is pretty amazing by some standards.]

That's right. I'm still more than a little bewildered. [ Waking up wrapped around a stranger didn't exactly help in that department. ]

Well, if we're going to try that, I'd like to at least get dressed first. Could I ask you to turn around for a couple minutes?
Edited 2023-12-16 23:21 (UTC)
acutabove: (pic#16134068)

i bet, wheelchairs definitely weren't a part of the first game. i think.

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ he can sympathize with that a little, since by that little admission he's pretty convinced they were in the same boat. there wasn't really any harm in taking her words at face value, right?

agreeing with her request with a nod, he turns around and faces one of the darker corners of their little utility closet. if he reaches out he can touch a few of the little knickknacks left behind and he takes a few of the additional toiletries to tuck into the pocket of the tracksuit he's got hanging over his arm - which, actually, it would probably be a good idea to change into at the same time. ]


Let me know when you're ready - and also give me a few, changing out of these robes sounds like a good idea.
thephotosynthesis: (Not affiliated with them)

[personal profile] thephotosynthesis 2023-12-17 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Changing clothes, in her wheelchair, in a cramped closet, that she's sharing with a strange man, who's also changing clothes, is a bit of an ordeal, both physically and emotionally. Still, she can make it work...

Man, it would've been nice for them to leave them some underwear, too. ]


What's your name? I'm Olivia.
acutabove: (pic#15183415)

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Childe. [ it's much easier for him to change, for obvious reasons, and he's actually quicker at it than most. maybe his profession calls for a regular change of clothing, or maybe he's just that fast, who knows.

regardless, he's not turning around anytime soon and instead continuing to peer over what they have to work with. the watch on his wrist, supplied by whoever put them here, glows faintly with the message he'd woken up to this morning. ]


So did you also wake up in a strange room you didn't recognize with someone you don't know? Because honestly, it's one strange coincidence - and something I don't normally do. [ if at all ]

[Kaeya shifts delicately when Childe first awakens, not quite jostling him enough to wake him. It isn't until Childe is actually shaking him awake that he grumbles and cracks open an eye, stretching shamelessly as he rolls over.

Of all the people he might roll over to see, Childe had been far from his mind.]
Childe?! [His voice is still a sultry, low purr but he's obviously been caught unaware, eyes wide as he first studies Childe and then their surroundings.

He doesn't bother fixing his robes as one side slips off his shoulder. It's hardly scandalous in his opinion and anyway, it's far too warm in the room.]
acutabove: (pic#15096128)

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ once the figure beside him rolls over, granting Childe leave to do the same, he does so with a quick onceover of his surroundings and the distinct lack of his clothes.

he'd be lying if he said his reputation didn't precede him, but this was still something of a surprise. he was more used, truthfully, to having to introduce himself, and he liked to think he was considerate enough to recognize names and faces.

but this stranger in his bed was still a stranger. a very ... comfortable one. ]


You'll have to forgive me if I don't remember who you are. Have we met?

[ it could all just be a side-effect of whatever this place was, right? or perhaps what he remembered last. ]
icyfeatherflight: (22)

[personal profile] icyfeatherflight 2023-12-17 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaeya laughs melodiously, an amused smile on his lips. He always enjoys having the upper hand and this is no different.]

Indirectly. I'm part of the Knights of Favonius. And a friend of the traveler. [Does it really explain how or why he knows who Childe is? Kaeya really doesn't care if it does.]

Kaeya. Cavalry Captain Kaeya.

[He tilts his head to inspect the watch before turning his attention back to Childe.] I wonder if they did this to help jump start our little game of 52. [He's just hoping to get a rise out of the man.]
acutabove: (pic#15183436)

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Knights of Favonius... and a friend of the traveler, to boot. admittedly, he hadn't paid too much attention to that particular group, though he does know of Varka. Captain was no simple title, but he honestly couldn't remember the last time he'd heard of horses in Mondstadt. ]

Nice to meet you, "Cavalry Captain Kaeya". You already know my name.

[ he'd like to think it's because word about his prowess got around but ... a cavalry captain of the knights of Favonius probably had a lot of free time on their hands without any cavalry around. it's not like it's very threatening to do research. ]

You think so? It definitely feels a little too convenient that they put us together. People generally don't like that Fatui, after all.
massochism: (♪Tie me up and take me over)

II a, why wouldn't I-

[personal profile] massochism 2023-12-17 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[you know, he should really know better than to wear white. not that that was what he was wearing the last time someone spilled a glass all over him, but it's definitely the case now with the already tight tee.

it'd even been a complete coincidence, with the way he'd been moving; Olivine isn't terribly tall, but he's broad, and so it became easier to bend in toward the roulette table to skirt around people that way. definitely not intentional that the phantom hands decide to tip it over right then and there.]


Ah— [the damage has indeed been done, fabric instantly soaked and clinging to his skin. whoops.] No, it's alright. It seems strange things just happen here, doesn't it?

[he's quick to move, to search for towels or napkins or... pretty much anything to soak away the wetness and cover himself with. it's fine, this is fine.]
acutabove: (✧ Now the old king is dead!)

oh noooo not the white guess you'll have to get naked

[personal profile] acutabove 2023-12-17 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the guy that he knocks into is definitely broad and makes Childe wonder if he, too, is some kind of seasoned warrior worth keeping an eye on. his hopes aren't exactly dashed by the apology instead of the punch he'd expected to receive, but it does make him reassess the man beside him. ]

Here -- [ Childe's quick to grab a couple of napkins off one of the buffet tables and hold it out. if he had his vision things would be easier, but such is life. ] I still have a couple of clothing vouchers if you wanna see if you can find something else.

[ he gives Olivine another appraising glance. not someone from Teyvat, he thinks, though the way he's dressed makes him wonder if he's in the same situation as himself, or if he was just a local mingling with the newcomers. that question definitely feels like the former rather than the latter. ]

I take it you're new here, too?

[ She'd only been looking for something else to wear, a robe is hardly appropriate for any kind of long-term comfort, especially around others —

But Furina is quickly learning that nothing here is going to come as easily as it seems, even a change of outfit, as she is unceremoniously ushered into the closet, the door slamming behind her. She's already turning to shout— ]


Ough — I beg your pardon! This is no way to treat...

[ —and then she freezes at the sound of his voice, her gaze at last alighting on the Eleventh Harbinger himself. ]

Ahahaha, w-well, well! Monsieur Childe! Or...should I call you Tartaglia instead? Imagine my surprise at finding you — here, of all places! Never a dull moment for you, is there?

[ Oh, this is EXTREMELY awkward. ]

[ even in the dark he can recognize that voice, and he shouldn't have been surprised about there being more people from his world, but Furina was definitely not one he'd been expecting. the last time he remembered seeing her was ... well. definitely before he'd been imprisoned. everything after he was a little fuzzy on. ]

Why if it isn't little Miss Hydro Archon.

[ he hadn't been changing before, but he moves to do so now. it's dark enough, why not? ]

Judging from your surprise I guess it's safe to rule out this being your doing. A shame - I think this would have been quite the interesting punishment to criminals like me.

[ Part of her riles at the intimation that Fontaine would sentence any criminals in any manner such as this, and it would be easy to fall back into the role of the indignant, haughty archon with him once more. Perhaps that would be for the best, but...

Well, playing her part or not, she still regrets how his trial and sentence were handled. Even knowing what she does now doesn't excuse his imprisonment. ]


Honestly, you would know better than me what the Fortress of Meropide is like, but I think it's safe to say...

Hm? What was that?

[ at least the closet is too dark to see by - maybe. perhaps she might be able to make out a torso, bathrobe shucked down to his waist in the moments it takes for him to swap it out for the top of the track suit. ]
