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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?

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.
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!

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.
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.

artemy burakh | pathologic 2
[ there is a very large lump that is currently moving slightly a ways from the party. they are definitely dressed in some stolen goods, a jacket over the shoulders that might be a bit too tight, some boots, and trousers. good luck to the fucker who just dumped them. enjoy your fucking in the woods.
anyways, he's taking a breather, turning over a package of cigarettes found in the pocket, and some loose threads, a used tissue, a lighter... with a rough, almost disused and rasping provincial russian accent: ]
Perhaps you could be useful to me...
[ flicking open the lighter, he lets out a sigh, watching the fire for a moment, getting lost in it. he looks rather gaunt, and despite his bulk, kind of sickly as well, like he's recovering from something bonedeep. when he hears the sound of someone approaching, however, he will immediately twist around, looking rather cornered despite being in a whole forest. he'll address whoever might be coming through the bushes or trees. ]
If someone's out there, quit your skulking.
[ he's tense instantly, shoving the goods (/wobbles hand) back into His pocket now. this is His jacket.
( also like if ur in a trap he'll cut you down/free you so that's an option too, feel free to give a pathetic shout.......) ]
MAIN LOBBY | 5 gold rings.
[ of course he's here with the plants. why wouldn't he be here with the plants. currently there are a few that may have been chased hiding around his boots. one has climbed into the pocket of his stolen jacket from earlier. another curls around his neck, peering out at anyone.
all of them jingle with rings! but artemy doesn't seem to care much for the rings. rather, he is cleverly avoiding being flower farted on by his sheer ability to just kind of attract nature (something something son of the earth something something). regardless, he is enjoying a drink and protecting flowers from having their rings plucked!
that's not how you play the game, but that is how he is playing it, and if you come close, he just kind of raises a brow, patting one of the flowers in his jacket collar protectively. ]
Go find one of the other flowers to hassle. These ones have had enough.
RED CARDINAL | holiday menu.
[ let the starving man eat.
deadass, he is starving, cheeks sharp and eyes sharper. the knuckles on his hands re all cut up with old scabs and the bones protrude uncomfortably so. he is currently tucking into some hand-pulled noodles, thin beef, and boiled egg in fish broth. he eats at a pretty steady, undisturbed clip (is that a poinsettia still hanging out around his neck? it looks comfy, and jangles with a couple of rings on its roots, don't mind it.)
when someone is seated with him, he raises a brow, mouth still full of food. unperturbed, he just... glances at the proprietress bustling and lingering about, scolding those with two full plates, and swallows, pointing with his utensil. ]
Whatever you don't eat, I'll take care of.
[ he will garbage disposal as best he can. the little flower around his neck jingles in agreement. ]
GAME ROOM | lock & key.
[ i'm sorry is he breaking the rules closer to the end of a round? yes. area man who picks locks to survive is here with a small stack of hairpins and his own key. he'll try it of course, especially if they're being watched, but the moment one of the game room npcs isn't looking their way, artemy makes a soft "psst" and nods to where he's seated. only when someone is close enough, can the pick be seen between his fingers, along with his key. ]
Come here. Let's see what we can do, yes? I'll try and get you free...
[ i'm not saying they should get caught and punished but it's absolutely an option if that's ur jam heh. ]
WILDCARD
[ hit me up with anything, i am down to clown with most of the prompts, or just pm me to talk c: as a heads up, artemy is a bit! tense! and incredibly alert. hes a little overly alert and quick to snap or protect himself if threatened or feeling such. uuhhh pathologic deals with some topics that are rather heavy including severe illness/plague, violence, human sacrifice, and just... organs so many organs and blood. so if you're squeamish just lmk and i'll take it easy. artemy is also a surgeon so /gestures do with that what you will.
i wrote this on my phone be nice me... ]
red cardinal
He stares after her for a moment, debating whether or not to speak, but when he catches sight of the man at the table he is promptly diverted.]
I would be most grateful if you did. [With entirely unnecessary flourish, he displays the new watch on his wrist- or, more to the point, the four unused food vouchers credited to his account.] Both I and our host, it seems, would hate to see them go to waste.
[Certainly this man looks as if he could use the extra courses. In spite of his size he has the look of the prey rather than the predator, lean and cautious as a hare.]

5 gold rings
[ But, frankly, Ariel finds the poinsettias almost as charming as they seem to find Artemy. Little scamps!! Ariel has one cupped in their hands like a bird, though it seems more restive than the ones that are cuddling with Artemy. ]
Here, would you like another?
[ The flower would certainly like to be with its brethren. It starts to squirm in Ariel's hand, making them look a little alarmed. ]
no subject
[ as he sees the little squirmy flower, he offers out one of his hands. they're visually very callused, a few nicks and cuts that are healing visible as well. he'll offer his hand to bridge for the little flower, but as he waits for his offer to be taken: ]
They'll have to take root sooner or later. [ a little chorus of unhappy flowery sighs errupts, as if they are a bunch of unruly children groaning in dismay. turning gently to them, artemy murmurs. ]
Hush, you know this is the way of your kind. [ all flowers must find root, from the moment their seeds are dispensed - sky to ground, water to mud. turning back to ariel, however, he offers a small tug of the lips. a barely there smile. ] If you like, we could ask them for two of their rings. Perhaps they'd be willing to part with some for this silly game.
no subject
[ Their expression turns a little soft, echoing Artemy's smile. ]
I would not take the freedom they enjoy. And I don't think I need the little toys.
[ As the flower settles in under Artemy's lapel like a boutonniere, Ariel folds themself down to the ground next to him to stroke the petals of the flower by his boots. ]
But then, I've never been a one for games I didn't run myself.
So, what's your name?
no subject
the flower at his boot, coiled around his ankle, cranes towards them. ]
... Artemy. [ he inclines his head, rubbing at one of his knees a bit. ] And you are...?
no subject
Do you want pots? [ This is addressed to the poinsettias. ] There is a place that's more outdoorsy, if that's what you'd like. Perhaps the two of us could carry you -- for little rootlings, it'd be pretty far.

finders keepers
She managed to grab someone's shawl from the bushes to tie around her hips, none of the clothes here will fit her she knows, so she's still naked. But long hair helps out a little when she doesn't forget to toss it over her front.
She gives the man who heard her a wary look, but doesn't come in the clear completely, preferring to crouch by some banister and rose bushes.]
I'd rather not. [Pause.] I just got away, I don't plan going back there.
im gonna cry YASHAAAA
this entire place has completely thrown him off. he hesitates, glancing over at the party and kind of slowly walking backwards out of a sight line as two people meander closer than he'd like. ]
Mm. Same. You woke up in this forest too, then?
[ with None Clothes. he hates this. he manages to snatch what looks like a coat and just kind of. tosses it towards that bush. ]
:'))
The coat is caught a bit clumsily and she inspects it with a frown-]
I can't wear this.
[-it's small on her. But she still uses it to cover the front so she can stand up. Inconvenient if there's trouble but, from the looks of things there shouldn't be.]
I did. I was told this was the only place in the vicinity to come to. [And she feels lucky that she managed to find it.]
no subject
[ she stands up and is just taller than he thought she was? so he sees the problem now and just politely looks ahead. god he needs some real clothes, it's just chilly at this point and he's tired of crouching, his knee is starting to seize a little. ]
Let's hope they keep their eyes on the party... think I heard them talking about baths that way?
no subject
[Better than nothing. She's covered now and doesn't have to hug walks and hide- well, she'll have to if she wants to avoid orgy, but she can also bolt it for the baths as well. She doubts anyone would stop her if she intimidated them, right? She'd rather not do it though...]
Yes, in the hotel. [Pause.] Think some of them took it there too? [Hey, kink is a kink, these people look a bit unhinged. Good intentions(?) but unhinged.]

Red Cardinal
As if directly inspired by Artemy's circumstances, Marina has also recently escaped a city plagued by rapidly deteriorating hunger, among other things. Priorities very straight, she did stop to dress herself with her clothing vouchers first. She's well dressed for a fine establishment like this; collared blouse, long skirt, white stockings, burgundy shoes. Catching the scent of hot, fresh made food is enough to remind her just how achingly hungry she's been for the last two days. Something about the town, or maybe the festival, made everybody on the brink of starvation just from walking half a mile any direction. After scarfing down any piece of moldy bread she could find in city trash cans, resting with a real meal sounds heavenly.
Doing so with a complete stranger less so, but she'll deal with it. Eye on the prize, ordering a whole roast duck and a bottle of wine for herself while walking over to a seat. A waiter directs her to sit with Artemy, the man towering over her lithe, but even further thinned out frame from what she had been through before arriving at the hotel. Her focus falls away from his size, distracted by all the food he has already out before him. Her eyes nearly well up with tears, but she maintains a poker face of disinterest, instead only huffing with mild frustration,]
I'll take care of it myself, you big chad. [Artemy definitely looks like he could go toe-to-toe with Marcoh for brawn.
She sits and her stomach promptly whines out in protest. Clearly her aching gut is just as angry as her mind that Marina must watch someone else's food before her own is brought out. She'll look up and bat her eyelashes at him, you know, unless-?]
no subject
but also, artemy isn't exactly the type not to share. she barely has to bat an eyelash, he's already nudging a plate of custard buns towards her to get started, as well as a half a plate of glassy hot and sour noodles he's been working on. he's dressed himself as well, a high-necked sweater in a soft blue, and a pair of trousers with deep pockets, boots in a warm chestnut brown and a green canvas jacket with sherpa wool inside. it's shocking, how the vouchers are worth so much more in this place.
as he eyes her, takes her in, he can see that she looks about as starved as he does, harrowed, so he just laughs at the remark. there is nothing personal to it, but the truth. ]
Mmmh. [ tapping his utensil gently on the plate. ] I believe that.
[ he paces himself, as much as he'd like to wolf everything down—it's painfully obvious that the richness of something so lovingly made is kind of making him a little glassy-eyed. it's good. it's perfect actually. while he's fully aware of the girl seated across from him, he doesn't keep his guard up, instead letting himself enjoy something better than the stale, dry wedge of a lemon to take the edge of anything off. he vexes me. ]
no subject
A sharp catch of breath back in and she realizes she's missing out on good food. The smell is amazing, the taste is good, she's being silly. Desperate.
The waiter promptly returns to show her the bottle of red wine and she just nods quickly to approve it being poured. That's snatched up soon enough and a glass is tossed back in a few gulps before she is pouring another glass. Oh- the waiter brought two...
Also without saying anything about it, she tips the win to glug-glug into the second cup, nearly overfilling it. Delicate fingers push it towards Artemy in a returned favor...]
... what's your name?
no subject
he looks at the glass and then at her and then back at the glass before taking it and pulling it towards himself. wine is a heady thing, and the memory of it on his tongue makes his saliva go sharp for a moment. wow... he takes a drink from the cup and then sets it down. ]
Artemy Burakh... m' a surgeon back home.
[ he's back to eating, but between the spaces where his mouth is vacant enough for speech. the fear is herculean, because he's half afraid he'll wake up supine on the floor again staring at harsh theatre lights, foiled again, something else taken. he swallows more drink to wash down the food. ]
...Who're you?
no subject
So, sure, a doctor.
She smiles lightly when he takes the wine, glad he didn't turn it away when she took his offer for food without a second thought. She sips her own more gently now, soothing the mind]
Did you just get here, too? I'm starving. [clearly]

5 golden rings
He contemplates.]
As long as they retain those rings, they'll be a target for other guests. Wouldn't it be kinder to remove them gently, so they won't suffer anymore abuse?
no subject
Perhaps, but for now they can rest until they decide they're willing to take those chances again. If you want one of those silly little rings, then perhaps find a suitable vessel for trading.
They are very ammenable to trades.
no subject
A trade... is it worth his time? He could just find some others to grab. But he has a feeling learning how to negotiate with this resort is going to be vital.]
Alright. What do they value? More secure pots, or... food and water? I apologize, I'm not too familiar with flowers.
no subject
anyways.
he just allows the pointsettias to begin their negotiations, eyeing the other and chattering amongst themselves. while they talk, artemy hums. ]
Seems they want vases, nice and sturdy, but also... uh... [ tilting his head ] They're picky. I'm sure if you find a nice one, at least one of them may agree. [ may being a keyword here! ]
no subject
Hm. That makes sense. He debates, but... maybe it's better to get information from Artemy, rather than pursue a trade.]
Do you know why they even have those rings? People are attracted to them because they're shiny, of course, but-- [Well. Are they literally just rings?]

lock & key
[ Jane is absolutely, soothingly furious. This game is stupid. This whole place is stupid. She's no prude. Sex positivity is important! But there's a difference between sex positive and whatever... this shit... is...
She moves closer at the sound of the "psst", and eyes the man offering to get her out warily, unsure if he can be trusted. But what other choice does she have? Time is running out. She goes over, and drops her voice to a whisper. ]
Okay. But I'm warning you. Don't try anything funny. Or else. You got me?
[ Her eyes narrow at him, but she does come closer. She's wearing a skirt, and underneath it, a pretty simple chastity belt that can be unlocked with a key. It's easy to pick up on her resentment.
At least he seems sincere in his offer to help. Jane relaxes. ]
