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.

Sylvain Gautier | FE3H

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-15 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
ARRIVAL
A. Evens
    [ Sylvain comes awake quickly, instantly knowing something is wrong. Mostly because he'd gone to sleep in a bedroll. In a tent. Alone.

    Amber eyes flick open, taking in the room in suspicious surprise, and then glance down at the unfamiliar (?) figure currently cuddled up with him in an equally unfamiliar bed. They're both wearing soft robes of some kind and he can't see any of his belongings in the small room around them.

    He'd expected to wake up to a battlefield this morning, not... whatever this was? ]


    Did I get drunk last night after all? Hey. You. Wake up. Where are we?

    [ Yeah, he's so not indulging in the warm morning-after snuggles right now, sorry. Of course, that's about when their greeting message shows up, the strange device around his wrist beeping at him with a notification. Even though he almost flings the thing across the room in alarm the first time it makes a noise at him. ]

    What in the name of Cethleann's sweet tits is going on right now?
B. Bathroom Mischief (warning: pheromones probably)
    [ He's still feeling overwhelmed. And confused. But getting annoyed or angry isn't going to get him anywhere fast, he needs answers. And clothes. Clothes should probably come first. When he's shuffled down the hall towards a bathroom, he finds himself in a large chamber unlike any he's ever seen before. Someone shoves several supplies in his hands, a towel, a few bottles, before he's pushed off to one of the shower heads, which he eyes with open curiosity because this is like nothing he's familiar with back home. But he's quick and observant and some subtle watching of those around him shows him what he needs to do.

    Even if it takes him a moment to figure out how to change the water's temperature, in a very uncomfortable lesson.

    Still, he starts getting washed up, hoping they have more than a robe for him when he gets out of him. He's not really self-conscious - years as a soldier in the army will cure you of that real quick, but other than a few curious glances around at those around him, he doesn't pay the others much attention just now. Popping open one of the strange bottles, he gives a tentative sniff before starting to wash his sleep-tousled mop of scarlet hair. Huh, that actually smelled pretty good. ]
LOVE DOVE
C. Shopping
    [ In his search for clothes (something other than the not-quite-comfortable tracksuit he'd managed to get free from one of the supply closets) Sylvain's been directed to this large store by one of the workers and a few of the guests. It had taken him a bit to find it - which seems silly now, when the place is so huge and... Catching sight of the displays in the window, he chokes back an incredulous laugh as he takes in the displayed toys and outfits on the mannequins, all of them an array of kinks so varied (and occasionally outlandish) that if he were the kind of person who still blushed, he definitely would be. ]

    Now there's a shop we could have used back home a time or two...
D. After Dark (warning: sad sex toys, take your pick of any of them!)
    [ He spends more time in the store than he realizes - especially when one of the sales people decided it was her mission in life to see him fully kitted out for the Masquerade happening a little later. Which is why he's heading for the exit of the store in the evening hours, both hands clutching a shopping bag in each one and leaving him a little distracted as he walks. Not realizing the atmosphere in this section has changed a little in the time he'd been shopping. Oh, it's still filled with more toys than he knows the names for, but he hasn't realized that some of them are now lying in wait for just this kind of inattentive passerby. ]
MASQUERADE
E. Casino Floor
    Hey! [ Sylvain spins around at the feel of the sharp pinch to his ass, gaze narrowed as he fixes on what he assumes is the source - the person now standing directly behind him. He hasn't picked up that there are other wandering hands around here yet. ] What the hell was that for?

    [ Or maybe he's getting the same sort of treatment, hands held up as he backs away from an annoyed looking customer advancing on him and accusing him of getting too handsy. He might need some help over here, he seems to have annoyed someone important.

    For those who come across him other times of the night, he's dressed in white and gold (which he finds ironic for reasons he doesn't bring up). His mask is white, the edges of it sharp and looking like several diamonds overlapped. The woman who had sold it to him earlier had seemed to think there was something amusing about that but hadn't given away why. Which he'd promptly forgotten about, but now, with the press of people closing in around him, he feels sweat trickle down the back of his neck as he rolls his shoulders, the fabric of his outfit feeling... strange against flushed skin. Is it getting hotter in here? ]
F. Game Rooms (warning: chastity play or master/pet play or whatever, dealer's choice!)
    [ He'd actually been looking for a door outside to get some fresh air, but the ones he's tried so far have definitely not led to anything like that. Stepping through yet another one, he looks around for anything that looks a little quieter or emptier than the crowded casino he'd just slipped away from.

    Maybe he's handed a key before being shoved deeper into the room, or drawn away to have a belt fitted tightly - and uncomfortably - around his waist. Or maybe he stumbles into a smaller game room and is handed a pair of dice before being directed to a partner for whatever this version of game is. Or, if he gets particularly desperate, he might stumble into the final room, stumbling because this one is darker than the others. A box is held up for him to draw a card, which he does, because his curiosity about all this is probably going to be the death of him one day. Although he hasn't opened it yet, still clutching it in his hand as he glances around the room and tries to figure out what's going on here. ]

( it's almost funny how long his hair took to wind and braid and primp and polish. funny in its absurdity, anyway. aspen didn't mind the way people fussed over it and him, trying to find just the right backless dresses so he can "make a statement" (he had no clue why people were trying to make him make a statement here of all places) so he, like sylvain, took a while to actually leave love dove.

honestly, it was a welcome reprieve from the... rather disastrous morning he had. he knew it wasn't really personal, but it was still a little hurtful that he was just thrown to the side. ah, well. humans for you, he supposed. nothing like a day of shopping and styling to make one feel refreshed and to soothe away the - )


Eek!

( oh, so much for a good day. aspen's face was pushed up against someone's chest, nose right against their collarbone. ugh, the collision must've been from pulling up his thigh highs - he really needed to check where he was going. )

Sorry, I was ... ah?

( why can't... he move? he wriggles, gasping as he notes the way ropes twist and tighten - )

The ropes are alive?!
philancer: (012)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-15 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ To be fair, Sylvain hadn't exactly been watching where he was going either. So while the impact catches him just as much by surprise, he at least has the advantage of height to help him out here.

Even if that does mean he drops his shopping bags and reaches out to catch whoever stumbled into him... just in time to get a face planted in the middle of his chest and some sort of ropes wrap around them both, trapping them in position. The voice... sounds slightly familiar, but at the same time, he's a little distracted trying to keep them both from toppling over.

Cursing under his breath, his hands tighten around the slim waist, flicking a glance at the wings he's assuming are part of this person's costume - wait, wings? ]


Magicked, I think. Are you okay?
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● urk!)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I-I'm fine.

( he still has a vice grip on his bags, and he lets them go only when he realizes the voice is familiar. )

Wait—is that you? S... sylvas? No, Sylvain!
philancer: (027)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Red eyebrows arch up towards his hairline before he realizes why that voice and the wings are familiar.

Oh. This is awkward. ]


Uh. Yeah. I'm afraid I... didn't catch your name this morning. [ Or he hadn't been awake and functional enough to remember it. A morning person he was not and this morning had put him in a particularly bad mood.

He casts the other guy a sheepish wince of apology. ]
Sorry about that. I, uh. Really wasn't at my best.
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● coquettish.)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
... Aspen. I'm Aspen.

( he cranes his neck to try and see sylvain, but the rope snags in his braid and he winces. he stays still instead. after a moment, he just huffs quietly and shrugs a shoulder. )

I admit, it's not usual for people to run out of bed with me, but usually it's after a night of action.

... you were panicked.
philancer: (005)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Easy.

[ He sees that wince, quickly spots the cause of it, and tries to slide his hand up Aspen's spine in order to try and untangle the knot that's caught there. ]

Alas, it's more common for me than I'd like. Unless I'm the one running out of bed, which... yeah, that happens far too often as well, now that I think of it. [ Either by choice of evading awkward morning after conversations or perhaps evading an angry family member. Or lover. ]

And considering I was expecting to wake up to a battlefield this morning, yes, I was quite confused. But I'm sorry if I took that out on you in the process. I don't always handle surprises well, especially first thing in the morning.
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● understanding.)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
( sylvain's hand will catch on some deep scars along his back, something that makes aspen tense up - but he does relax as the knot begins to lessen and he can move his head again. )

Well, thankfully the bedroom isn't a battlef... hm.

( he has enough self-awareness that he knows he should not say that aloud. he'll try that again. )

I'll just have to hold you to a morning of cuddling sometime when you aren't expected to jump to your feet upon command. It's only fair.

( he's joking...? (maybe?) obviously. unless... )

Thank you. Though I'm sorry - I wasn't entirely aware of my surroundings.
philancer: (019)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sylvain just snickers from above him, trying to maneuver around the strange wings he's still assuming are part of the other man's costume for the night. He'd felt those scars - even suspects he can guess the source, just because he's so familiar with such things - but he doesn't comment on them. Just lets his fingers continue to work at trying to loosen the knots enough that they can start freeing themselves.

He seems... surprisingly adept at doing it so far, like this isn't the first time he's worked with such knots. ]


I'm glad you stopped yourself there because I was gonna have to argue with you. Vehemently. [ Then again, the bedroom has always been a battlefield for him. He could probably count on his fingers the number of times it hadn't been, and still have digits left over when he was done. ]

But you don't have to apologize. Truly, the fault was mine. Had it been any other morning, I would have been happy to indulge in a lazy morning in bed with some entertaining company. So it looks like I'll have to take you up on that raincheck.

How's that? Is it loose enough for you to move your head yet?
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● backstep.)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm.

( aspen lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding, craning his neck to look at sylvain in the eye. he's a handsome one, for certain... with nice eyes. )

I'd have to argue with myself if I finished that sentence. Now—let's see if I can undo the one at your back...

( he fiddles, slender hands working at the knots keeping them together. like sylvain, he seems used to this kind of work. )

Battlefield, hm... is that where you obtained all your rope knowledge? Tying tents, securing cargo?
philancer: (059)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sylvain just snickers at that and tries to shift enough to give Aspen room to work. Although he can't see where exactly the knots are behind him, he can feel at least two of them crisscrossing at the middle of his back and one lower at the base. ]

No, that was definitely learned more in a bedroom sort of battlefield. Although it came in handy on the real one as well. Especially when working with the horses. What about you?
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● slyly.)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Part of courtesan training. Granted, I'm not fond of being tied up like this, but I've done my fair share of tying knots.

( there's a casual lilt to his words that say he's not at all embarrassed or ashamed to admit it, as he works on the upper knot first. )

You ride? ( a beat. ) Horses, I mean.
philancer: laugh (088)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Courtesan training, huh?

[ He gives the other man a curious look at that, intrigued, even as he rolls a shoulder slightly, trying to see if he can shift in the ropes or if anything is loosening yet.

He doesn't seem all that bothered by the admission, either. Even though he snickers again at that question - and the clarification that comes afterwards. ]


Yes, I ride. Horses. But not just horses.
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● snide.)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
( it's quick work of the topmost knot. the bottom knot makes aspen let out a soft 'tsk'—and he meets sylvain's eye when he realizes the other is giving him a look over. he tilts his head coyly. )

Surprised? I wonder where you may have thought I learned how to tie knots.

( though he does smile a little wider. )

Not only horses, then? Gods, what else could you mean?

( he flutters his lashes innocently at sylvain, undoing one part of the knot. )

Bear with me. This is a load-bearing knot, it seems. I think our rope friend expected me to be on top of you.
philancer: shippy (128)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, maybe you knew a sailor or something.

[ There's humor in his voice as he shrugs a shoulder again. Humor that warms into an all out laugh when Aspen bats his eyes at him, playing innocent. Although he manages to compose his face into a playfully deadpan expression before replying. ]

I could say wyverns here, but I'd absolutely be lying.

[ Not that he hasn't ridden wyverns, but that totally isn't what he'd meant.

Still, his grin is quick to return, despite the words about the knot and he tries to crane his head around enough to see what Aspen is struggling with. ]
Would it make it easier or harder if you were?

[ ...wait, he probably should have phrased that differently. ]

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
( looking at sylvain from underneath his silver lashes, with doe-like eyes like he doesn't know what his words imply - )

Hmm. I think... it'd be easier for me. But maybe a bit harder for you.

( the facade breaks as he smiles wide, sticking his tongue out again from underneath pearly teeth before he looses another part of the knot. )

I can't imagine a human riding a dragon. ( gonna ignore the sailor part because that makes his heart hurt a little. )
philancer: (013)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sylvain just starts laughing because he walked right into that one. Not that he looks like he minds. This is some of his favorite types of humor, after all. Much to the dismay of... pretty much everyone who knows him. ]

I suppose I don't mind enduring a little hardship. If it helps. [ An impish grin as he waggles his eyebrows. And then cranes a look over his shoulder again, as if trying to figure out how to get them down there in the easiest and most painless way possible. He's not sure there is one, other than toppling backwards... ]

Wyvern. [ He automatically corrects a moment later, not even thinking that some people might not realize there's a distinction there. ] Dragons are... Yeah, nope, don't wanna mess with those. I mean, you probably don't wanna mess with wyverns either, but at least they're somewhat more manageable.
terraria: art source: remnim@Twitter (● windblown.)

[personal profile] terraria 2023-12-16 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not entirely sure what the difference between a wyvern and a dragon - ugh. No use on this bottom one, it's too tight.

( he cuts himself off, shaking his head and making his braid swing. )

Hmph -

( aspen has to readjust, making it so his now free hands are pressed against sylvain's chest. and he... wriggles, shifting his hips and arching his back so he can slide some of his weight and curves out of the tightness of the ropes. with that, hastily pushing the ropes off of the fullness of his ass, he can wrap his arms back around sylvain's waist and fingers affixed to the bottom knot again.

granted, now that there is more slack, the knot is... lower... on sylvain's back... )


What an incredible hardship this is.
philancer: blush (090)

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
One has two legs and one has... shit, four.

[ The smaller man is now completely grinding against his front in an effort to... he doesn't even know, find more room to maneuver? be a terrible tease? Sylvain huffs out a sharp breath and lets his gaze rise to the ceiling above them as he tries to focus on anything other than the fact that his skin's felt a little more sensitive ever since his shower this morning, and that's only gotten more pronounced over the last little while since the sales girl stuffed that diamond mask in his back pocket. Which... might actually poke at Aspen a little bit, if his hands drift that low down over Sylvain's ass.

For all the good it does, because his body is reacting on its own today anyway, it seems, and now seems to be no exception to that. And boy, that's embarrassing, considering they're still tied together snugly.

Although the magicked rope seems to take it as encouragement because a moment later, there's a sharp yank that jerks them both off their feet and suspends them in the air. Unbalanced, Sylvain yelps in alarm and topples backward, until he's hanging there effectively stretched out on his back, hands clutching at Aspen's own ass as his eyes fly wide at the sudden feeling of nothing beneath them. And yet gravity isn't being particularly cruel to them today.

...Other than the fact that he can now feel Aspen pressed along every line of his body where they touch. Which means Aspen can probably also feel how happy his own body is about that fact.

Shit, can this get any more awkward?

Wait, probably. ]

( the moment he feels gravity start to betray him, he flaps his wings hard to make sure they don't fall. even if he is light, that doesn't mean it won't hurt if sylvain takes a tumble with them both. he muffles his yelp in sylvain's chest, squeezing his eyes shut tight - and only when there's a long moment of no movement does he blink and look up, around, and then down.

ah. oh.

he'd noticed sylvain's... well, happiness, before. he was going to idly assure him he wasn't bothered and would offer to help him out, except -

well. the shortest parts of his layered hair fan and flutter around his and sylvain's face, like a curtain drawn to keep their faces private. )


... I was going to suggest helping you out with your "problem" after we were free, but I suppose this has now grown more difficult.

( and with the way aspen is pressed up against sylvain, he may realize that he's not the only one affected. )

[Claude's curiosity and his strong sense of self-preservation are often at odds, but usually the curiosity wins out. The whole masquerade setting definitely helps, as well as having had a drink of Diamond Dust for courage not too long ago-- he's emboldened enough to try one of the raunchier games on offer.

He pulls a Pet card and is immediately bustled off for a wardrobe adjustment-- a black collar around his throat, with a tag proclaiming him as a Cat. You know what they say about curiosity and cats... well, good thing they have nine lives, right? One of the workers offers a little headband with brown cat ears attached and Claude shrugs and puts it on with a chuckle. It's ridiculous, but so is everything here. Then he's left to wait, for a Master to pick him, or to be matched with one at random.]
philancer: (012)

oh hello :D

[personal profile] philancer 2023-12-16 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Still feeling a little in over his head, the workers here apparently take that as a good enough excuse to just put him where he needs to be. And considering he flips open his card to read Master on its surface - Master of what? he finds himself wondering - as he's escorted towards one of the smaller rooms and unceremoniously shoved inside.

The door has barely clicked shut behind him before he's lifting his head and locking gazes with a very familiar pair of green eyes. ]


Oh, shit.

[ Who ever claimed the Goddess didn't have a sense of humor?

A single red eyebrow arches upwards in disbelief as he takes in Claude, the collar, the tag, the ears - wait. ]


They really should have just given you antlers.

[Claude is not expecting to meet a familiar face here-- it very subtly throws him off his guard for a moment. He regroups in the blink of an eye, laughing at Sylvain's quip.] The options were surprisingly limited. [It's not hard to see why they picked 'cat' for Claude though, especially as those sharp green eyes look Sylvain over, assessing.]

So, what sort of "Master" are you looking to be?

Shit, he really should have gone for the other door.

Glancing down at the small card in his hand, he lifts a hand to rub sheepishly at the back of his neck. ]


I suppose now's a terrible time to admit I have no idea? They didn't actually give me any prep time between me plucking a card out of a box and them shoving me in here. Although, uh... [ He glances over at the one wall lined with shelves holding every type of toy and instrument imaginable. Most of which he recognizes, but there are a few there even he doesn't know what they are. Although he could probably figure it out. ]
