【 Hello, dearest guests. We hope you have been enjoying your time in the Golden Peacock and utilizing our many amenities.

Reception would like all guests to be aware that some new arrivals have been misplaced. Due to the nature of the resort, new arrivals may have been misplaced in unexpected locations. This includes your personal suites. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.

Please do not be alarmed if you come across a misplaced new arrival. We kindly request that any guests that find a misplaced new arrival escort them to the main hub, where we have arranged a central meetup where all new arrivals can claim their complimentary robes and welcome baskets.

All guests are invited to come mingle at the main hub and meet new arrivals. As always, we hope you have a pleasant day! 】



DEALER'S CHOICE
STEVE, WHERE DID YOU PUT THE NEW ARRIVALS?

The Golden Peacock has swept away the hues of winter and welcomed vibrant pops of color for a change of pace. Gone are the snow whites and cool golds. Vases of bright florals have been staged all throughout the general hubs and hallways. Statues have been cheekily decorated with bright clothes, such as charming hats and billowing dresses with cheerful prints. This peacock has cleaned up nicely, its brilliant feathers shaking with a warm palette to please the senses.

Staff are bustling during the decor turnover. While some diligent employees are steadfastly decorating the hallways with sprawling vines and spectacular blooms, others are darting back and forth in search of something. Or rather — someone. Several someones. Front reception is in an outright panic while flying over the phones and furiously slamming their hands on keyboards.

"Steve, I know you're new, but you can't just press any button that pops up on the computer screen! The new arrivals are supposed to go into temporary suites." Deborah, the head receptionist, sighs, "Now who knows where they are. I hope they're okay... I'm sure they're quite confused, wherever they wound up. Steve, stop crying. The house won't fire you for this. Probably. How's your resume looking?"

THE BATHROOM BUTTON ▷ Due to a mistake at front reception, new arrivals aren't waking up in a temporarily assigned suite like usual. All new arrivals will wake up in a bathroom somewhere in the Golden Peacock. Steve, bless his heart, chose the wrong button and directed all new arrivals to bathrooms. Why do they even have a "bathroom" button at front reception, anyway? Who is that for?!

▷ Players are encouraged to get creative and have their character wake up in any bathroom location across the resort. Please feel free to reference our LOCATIONS for ideas as to where your character might wake up. As long as it's in a bathroom, it can be anywhere. Almost all locations within the resort have a bathroom!

Not even current character suites are safe. New arrivals may wake up in tubs, toilets, and showers in suite locations as well as general resort locations. For low rank rooms, the communal bathroom is also fair game for sudden new naked arrivals to wake up in.


THE MAIN LOBBYA welcome station has been set up in the main lobby. After getting their bearings and finding their way to the main lobby after an unexpected bathroom adventure, new arrivals will find racks of plush terrycloth robes and yellow tracksuits. They will also be given a welcome basket with general toiletries and snacks to get them started in the resort. Some gift baskets include special sex toys picked out just for them! They haven't tell anyone about that specific kink before? The house knows its guests well. No need to say anything at all.

Front reception has arranged a welcome party to greet new arrivals and help get them more comfortable. Not because they feel extremely guilty about the bathroom mixup and are hoping that these new arrivals won't complain to the house. Definitely not! With the help of 24K and Birdbucks, new arrivals and guests alike will be treated to alcohol or coffee at the front desk's expense. The fireplaces are roaring and several couches have been set up to create a comfortable atmosphere. Some long-standing guests have joined in to tell stories about how much fun they've had at the resort while enjoying a drink by the fire.


TIME FOR BED... BUT?Due to the initial mistake at reception there are no empty suites available for new arrivals to borrow. Staff have set up twin-sized cots at the back of the main lobby for new arrivals while sprucing up the situation as a giant slumber party. All new arrivals will be assigned a cot and given a privacy screen. Unfortunately, there isn't much privacy to be had when you're shacking up in a public spot.

▷ Don't worry — this will only be until check-in has been properly completed and guests have been assigned to their correct suite. We're so sorry, please don't complain to the house! Or if you do, blame Steve!

The ghost that haunts the main lobby isn't thrilled about this either. He's just a nice, low-key ghost that likes to watch people and knock over cups at Birdbucks when no one is looking. How is he supposed to do that with these people sleeping in the main lobby? In an effort to spook off these new arrivals, the ghost haunting the main lobby may whisper some odd things into their ears at night. Odd things like, "The person next to you is watching you sleep, you should run away," and "You just farted and everyone knows it was you. You should leave." Surprisingly effective, no?

In the end, Steve didn't get fired. But he did get reassigned to trash duty.



FLORAL RIOT
A STRIKE OF COLOR
🌸🌸🌸 Come experience new floral delights! Prepare to be ravished by a symphony of color and aroma. Romance, love, and pleasure all await within corridors of beauty. 🌸 🌸 🌸

Days before the grand unveiling, the gardeners of the Cloud Dwelling Garden distribute flyers announcing that their special floral exhibition is now ready for guests to enjoy. Long-standing guests vibrate in anticipation, eagerly stomping around the gardens until the ribbon is cut and the newest resort amenity has been revealed. The gardeners make a point to approach new guests and encourage them to join in on the fun, explaining that the house likes to create a new floral experience for guests every few years or so.

Exhibition opening is set for mid-month. On the 15th precisely, the gardeners line up in front of the white sheet hiding the project, each taking a turn to bow and say a few short words about how grand and generous the house is for giving them such rewarding jobs.

The curtains fall away to a wall of shockingly bright florals. Guests ooh and aahh at not only the array of shades but at the luxurious meld of so many different kinds of flowers. Wisteria and roses, lilies and carnations. Lilacs, peonies, daisies, daffodils, sunflowers. More and more and more and more. The staff explain that this flower maze is perhaps their most intricate piece of work yet and that there is grand surprise waiting at the heart. Additionally, as part of the festivities, several prizes have been hidden around the maze at dead-ends. Long-standing guests clap and cheer before charging inside.

THE FLOWER MAZE ▷ The flower maze is a winding marvel of foliage boasting over ten feet tall. Like the hedge maze, there are various twists and turns for guests to explore. This maze is a coalition of every flower thinkable, with many squared sections highlighting particular breeds. Bright pops of whites, pinks, and yellows knit with deeper purples, reds, and blues. Trees rich with blossoms hang low. Bushes rich with waxy leaves guide the way to different hidden alcoves and pockets. The flower maze is complicated and very easy to get lost in for hours. However, there is nothing magical or paranormal about it. It's just a flower maze.

▷ Guests may find statues overgrown with ivy within the maze. Despite the flower maze being a new addition to the garden, these statues are marked with age. They are weathered, having survived through the elements despite there being no real weather in the garden. Some statues are chipped and missing appendages. Despite how these old statues feel out of place in a brand new exhibit, they do not give any sense that they aren’t simply decor.

▷ Romantic gazebos have been incorporated into the design of the maze. These are popular rendezvous spots for guests to overlook the sprawling flowers and small ponds on the comfort of a small couch or a swinging bench for two. Some special gazebos have been furnished with daybeds and other comfortable furniture.

Treasure chests can be found hidden throughout the flower maze. Many of these chests are filled with sex toys and lubricants to help players get into the mood to play 52, but not only sex related items are available. Some chests may have clothes, some may have treats, some may even be filled with rocks.

▷ A few mimics have snuck in alongside the treasure chests. When opened, a mimic chest will curse the opener with a horny tongue. For a short period, the cursed individual will find themselves making erotic freudian slips. "How are you doing?" may end up coming out as, "How are you fucking?" While this curse will eventually wear off on its own, the embarrassment is forever.


THE GRAND FLOWER LAWNGuests that find the heart of the maze will discover the grand flower lawn. Also called the flower sea by staff, this brilliant landscape is covered in a lush carpet of flowers in shades of blue. Blue roses are the crown jewel of the flower sea, carefully dethorned so that guests may spread out on a velvety bed of petals.

▷ It isn’t impossible for our hardworking gardeners to miss a thorn or two. Even with careful checking, a few thorns have escaped scrutinizing staff. Guests pricked by a thorn while on the rose lawn will begin to feel drowsy. Effects may range from light exhaustion to falling into deep slumber. The cure for the rose's thorn curse is a kiss. Don't worry: true love need not apply in this case.

▷ Picnic baskets are available for guests that would like relax out on the lawn. Included in the picnic basket set: a blanket and set of pillows, fruit sandwiches, champagne, small cakes, and cookies. Hot tea and coffee is also available upon request. Staff are happy to accommodate any other special requests as well. Ask and ye shall receive.


SPECIAL LAWN GAMESAll guests lounging on the lawn will receive a cheerful message on their Watch: 【 WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A LAWN GAME?

Guests that select the NO option will be left to their snoozing and merriment. Guests that select YES will receive a follow-up message.

▷ 【 Thank you for participating in the Lawn Game. Please choose one of the below options. You will be informed of what surprise task you have chosen after selecting an option. All level one tasks will reward in a small payout upon completion. All level two tasks will reward in a medium payout upon completion. All level three tasks will reward in two extra-large payouts upon completion.

Players will be prompted to select an option without knowing what the corresponding task is. The task will be sent to their Watch after they have selected an option. To see what your character is lucky enough to receive as their task, simply click the dropdown!

▷ There is no penalty for characters that wuss out and are unable to complete their prompt aside from a mocking message to their Watch,【 LOSER, LOSER, LOSER. BIG LOSER.

The flower maze will only last as long as the most fleeting flowers do. The flower maze will remain open to the public for several weeks, after which it will close for further remodeling.

"We'll be open again with another complex arrangement," one of the gardeners explains cheerfully. "A maze isn't fun once you've learned the layout. We'll open again after creating a whole new design for guests to enjoy. Maybe even some new flowers, too. A lot of the ones on the lawn got funky after guests came all over them..."



SMOKY NECTAR
DRIBBLE OF SWEETNESS
The conservatory is even busier than the gardens. Unlike the easygoing staff in the garden, employees in the conservatory are busy zooming to and fro with brooms while trying to get a handle on the unexpectedly huge amount of pollen. From flowers, from trees — so much pollen. The ground is coated and the air is thick. Several long-standing guests visiting the area have fallen into sneezing fits. Even with cleaning efforts to mitigate the build-up, the pollen becomes thicker as the weeks go on. Staff eventually give up on trying to sweep it away.

This pollen is not standard. Guests that inhale this pollen will begin to feel feverish and strange. Continued exposure to this pollen will heighten a desire for sex to the point of all-encompassing need. Orgasms become much more intense. Nipples are constantly hard. Guests may also be overwhelmed with the urge to "fertilize or become fertilized" — to aggressively deliver or receive cumshots. Gardeners soon realize that normal pollen has been tainted by the cross-breeding of their new spectacular fruits, resulting in an extremely potent sex pollen that affects people and animals. This sex pollen is stronger than any of the current aphrodisiacs in the resort, baffling the gardeners. They weren't even trying to make horny fruit!

The effects of the sex pollen will ease after a few days unless exposure is continued. Guests with too much exposure to the sex pollen may find themselves passing out from violently intense successive orgasms. Any guests found unconscious post-orgasm will be delivered to the Broken Wing clinic for recovery.

THE ORCHARD ▷ The gardeners are thrilled to present this season's fruit orchard. When the previously closed-off portion of the orchard opens, guests will find that some of the delicious fruit hanging on the trees are ... strange. In collaboration with the Dizzy Pigeon, the gardeners of the conservatory have crossbred several standard fruits to create new fruits with delicious, never before seen flavors. Sure, there are the typical apple and orange trees to pick from, but why not give something new a try? Each of these new breeds have been imagined with paying homage to one of the glorious suits in mind.

ORANGEBERRY: A blend of oranges and blueberries. This delicious new citrus has a hard outer peel but tender flesh inside. Sweet with a slightly tart aftertaste. Bred in homage to the Diamonds suit. Those who eat this fruit may experience heightened sensitivity to touch and temperature for a short period time.

PEARAPPLE: A blend of pears and pineapples. A brilliant combination of mildly sweet with a punch of tang. The outside of this large fruit is rough and prickly. Once cut into, the flesh is firm but juicy. Bred in homage to the Hearts suit. Those who eat this fruit may experience intense positive emotions, such as a sudden onset of one-sided love or excessive positivity, for a short period of time.

PEAPLUMTO: A blend of peaches, plums, and tomatoes. This succulent fruit is powerfully sweet, with a fuzzy skin and silky inside. A new favorite for juicing. Bred in homage to the Clubs suit. Those who eat this fruit may find themselves being extremely impulsive for a short period of time.

CHERRYUZU: A blend of cherries and yuzu. These tiny bunches of fruit are sour enough to make the strongest-willed person scrunch their face up! Small but powerful, these fruits are satisfying to bite into with a pop. Bred in homage to the Spades suit. Those who eat this fruit may experience intense negative emotions, such as sudden possessiveness or jealousy, for a short period of time.


THE BUTTERFLY DOME ▷ The butterfly dome is exploding with color. Bright dots of yellow and orange speckle greenery without restraint. An assortment of butterflies lazily fly from buttercup to tulip. These butterflies are unafraid of people and may approach guests, dusting them with the thick pollen that coats their wings before they flutter off elsewhere. The pollen here is thicker than anywhere else in the conservatory. Guests may feel the effects of the sex pollen more strongly while in the butterfly dome. Breathing in pollen for one hour in the butterfly dome is equal to breathing in pollen for several days in the rest of the conservatory.

▷ Several flowers glitter with moisture in the light. Upon closer inspection, guests will find that it isn't morning dew — it's floral nectar. Its light and smoky scent may trigger an intense desire to drink. Guests that give in to the urge and drink the nectar will find themselves overcome with unbearable thirst afterward. No amount of nectar, water, or any other beverage will satisfy. The thirst can only be satisfied by swallowing semen or vaginal fluid. The longer one goes without satisfying the thirst, the thirstier they will become.


BUNS GONE WILD ▷ The normally docile giant flemish rabbits that wander the conservatory have gotten into the spirit of 52 as well. These romantic rabbits have been mating relentlessly since the pollen hit, and now the vegetable patches have been overrun with hundreds of young rabbits looking for food. No vegetable is safe while dozens of baby rabbits are running free, not knowing that they shouldn't eat directly from the patches. Due to the recent vegetable shortage restaurants in the dining quarter have been complaining about not getting their produce deliveries. It's a real problem!

The gardeners have been begging guests to assist in catching these baby rabbits. There are too many for them to catch on their own. Guests who are willing to help will be instructed to catch the young rabbits and deposit them into the large wooden pen built to house them. However, this won't be an easy job — these little rabbits are fast!

▷ While the gardeners can't offer chip payment for the help, they will happily give any guests that assist good plots of land to raise their own vegetables. Rabbit adoption is also on the table!

The sex pollen will fade out within a few weeks, when the new breeds of fruit have all been harvested and delivered to restaurants. The gardeners collectively agree to be more careful when engineering new breeds in the future. "I do think," reports one worker in the conservatory, "the house will be impressed that we've managed to engineer an even stronger aphrodisiac. Great things happen on accident!"



PETAL-STAINED LIPS
A BLOOMING DISEASE
👩‍🦰 "Hack hack, hack hack... what do you mean, 'please cover my mouth when I cough'? I'm a rank nine. Nine! You can't tell me what to do. Now, clean up this mess. I've been coughing up flower petals all day." 👩‍🦰

Wet, smudged petals scatter across the floors of the Peacock. The source is initially unclear, since the perfectly groomed flowers in their decorative vases are in perfect condition. Soon the number of guests coughing into their fists begins to rise and more soggy plants plague the hallways.

After the garden and conservatory unveil their Spring additions the clinic will begin to over-run with guests complaining of various symptoms. There aren't enough beds and there certainly aren't enough doctors and nurses to meet rising demand. Guests continue to visit the clinic complaining of some sort of flower cold while spitting up petals and leaves. Advanced cases involve a deeper spread of vines through the patient's body.

Though this illness manifests in many different ways, the head doctor in charge is quick to clock that it's the Blooming Disease working its way through the resort's population. Not an especially dangerous disease. More troublesome than anything and a mess to clean up. Luckily, there are extensive notes in their files about this particular disease and how to treat it.

THE BLOOMING DISEASEA strain of hanahaki disease is running through the resort. Unlike the typical hanahaki disease that is brought on by one-sided love, this blooming variation has no single discernible cause. The nurses muse that it is perhaps a side effect of the intense pollen from the conservatory, but this is speculation.

Similar to the standard hanahaki disease, the main symptom is coughing up flower petals. However, the blooming strain manifests in many different ways, and doctors have seen variations of petals and vines creeping out from every orifice. Players are welcome to get as creative as they like with how the blooming disease presents.

▷ Doctors will make one point thoroughly clear: while medications are available to ease discomfort, the cure for this subset of hanahaki disease is sex. Only fucking another person will completely eradicate the disease. If the disease is not treated it will progress until the afflicted patient has turned into a monstrous pile of flora themselves.

It is possible to catch the disease more than once. Having sex will cure it but some guests have caught the disease in quick succession, requiring multiple sessions of vigorous fucking. Doctors are unsure as to why some guests only catch the disease once while others are susceptible to catching it multiple times. The nurses gossip about how they think it's those guests particularly desperate for love that are prone to re-catching it, but again — speculation.


ALL HANDS ON DECKWithout enough manpower in the clinic to meet demand, guests that have experience in the medical field have been asked to volunteer their time to help treat those suffering with the illness. Those kind enough to join in the effort to mitigate the disease will be given a full kit of medical supplies, which they will be allowed to keep once their stint in the clinic has finished. For the duration of their time working in the clinic they will be fully considered staff doctors and able to direct both employees and guests as they see fit.

Guests that do not have medical experience but who wish to help in the clinic will also be accepted. While they will not have as much power as experienced guests assigned to the doctor role, they will be onboarded as nurses and given basic tasks. All nurses will be given scrubs which can be kept after their job has been completed. Nurses are expected to defer to doctors but can dictate to patients.

▷ All guests that assist in the clinic will be given an extra-large payout for their efforts. The head doctor in charge will be so grateful that he will be happy to grant any other small favors and gifts if asked. While something like taking one of the patient beds would be too much, he will turn a blind eye to guests who want to pocket items like scalpels and stethoscopes.


CLINIC ENERGY ▷ So many guests have piled into the clinic that private rooms are no longer available. Large rooms will be utilized as group hubs with many patient cots, while smaller rooms normally meant for one patient will be doubled up on. All guests staying in the clinic for treatment will be paired with at least one other patient due to space constraints. Private rooms will be available only for patients separated out for treatment with one of the doctors or nurses.

All of the rooms in the clinic are fully stocked with condoms, lube, and sex toys. After the head doctor announces the cure for the disease, nurses will make sure every room has supplies available for patients to use. They will encourage guests to go ahead and get fucking since it's the only cure! While doctors and nurses are available to fuck as well, they are short-handed, so most patients will have to make do with other patients. To those stubborn guests who don't want to fuck for their health, staff will firmly explain that if the disease progresses they'll be reduced to nothing but a pile of vegetation.

Patients with particularly bad cases of the disease will not be allowed to leave the clinic until they are cured. Patients that have only been lightly affected will be given a prescription to fuck and sent on their way, with strict instructions to return if they do not fuck and the disease progresses.

The height of the disease will hit toward the end of the month. Thanks to the hard work of the doctors and nurses in the clinic, cases will begin to decrease as the days pile on, with the majority of the affected guests treated and sent on their way by the beginning of May. Activity in the clinic will begin to decline as patients fuck it out and cure the disease, with only a handful of scattered cases heading past the first week of May.



PROMPT NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
Arrival, The Bathroom Button: Multiple versions of arrival are possible. Characters may be flushed down the toilet or tub to wake up in several different locations across the resort.

Gardens, The Flower Maze: While players are welcome to imagine whatever they like in these chests, we do ask there be some limits. Characters should not find their special awesome sword or other personal items that were taken away by the resort upon arrival, for example. Items that would generally be available within resort stores or without regains are fine.

Conservatory, General: While this location is currently being influenced by sex pollen, players that do not enjoy this kink may have their character immune to its effects. This will not affect engaging in the hanahaki prompt.

Conservatory, The Orchard: Players are encouraged to get creative with effects from these fruits. While we've offered a couple suggestions, any of the affiliated suit's effects are available to tap into. For example, consumption of Orangeberry, aka the Diamonds fruit, can cause any Diamond-adjacent physical effects.

Broken Wing Clinic: Players are allowed to get as delicate or grotesque with the presentation of the Blooming Disease as they’d like; you can even use this as an opportunity to engage in some vine-y bondage play. From the medical perspective, feel free to envision access to any sort of equipment you’d like, so long as it makes sense within a (sexy) clinical setting.

Oh, fuck, do not remind me. Aah! AAAAAH.

[ *Mute buries her face in her hands and screams one more time, muffled, just for good measure. NononononoNONONONONONONONO ]

Oh shit, oh fuck. Aaah. No, I'm married. Also, you're a woman. I mean.

[ This is all still coming from behind her hands, by the way. Muffled. Miserable. ]

I mean, my wife is a woman too, so like. My. Wait, I'm her wife, though. She's my husband. The pilot. Technically. Uggghhh.

[ *Mute just. Flops over. She puts her face to her skirt, rolls onto her side, and makes sounds that sound suspiciously like crying, her saying "Terminate me, terminate me, please can I just fucking crash now", or both. ]

[ Sylvain had been in here searching for someone else. Not that he realized he might need to be searching for someone familiar, but it hadn't exactly occurred to him, either.

And this maze was way more confusing and twisty than the other one. So he's a little turned around and maybe not paying as much attention as he should be when he turns a corner... and trips over a figure laying prone in the flowers.

He manages to catch himself with a curse before he goes face-first into the nearest flowery wall, but when he turns to glare at... whatever that was, he freezes at the sight of familiar dark hair.

No way. That had to be a coincidence.

He reaches out, suddenly hesitant as he shakes the prone form. Enough to roll him over onto his side and get a good look at his face. ]


Cethleann's tits. [ This warranted a much more vehement curse, clearly. And then he's scrambling to shake Felix harder to try and rouse him, unsure what's even going on. If that doesn't work, he'll give a sharp smack to one of his cheeks for good measure. ]

Felix? Felix!

[personal profile] keyeju 2024-04-16 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ The thing about Narumi is he has this kind of nifty little ability that he received when he had monster retinas grafted over his own eyes (don't worry about his life choices, it's fine). It lets him predict a person's movement from the slightest impulse signals sent from their brain to the rest of their body, and lets him act in response to moves they haven't even made yet.

The thing about this particular nifty little ability is that he has to actively be using it in order for it to work. He'd probably overload and fry his own brain if he kept it running twenty-four seven, so it's not exactly an advisable thing to use outside of combat.

It does mean that in the past several years the number of times that Narumi has been caught off guard by sudden movements can be counted on one hand. Thanks to Falin that's another finger down for him, because by the time he notices the flash of movement and turns to face her, she's already on him, chomping down on his tragically exposed neck.

He is fast to react though. His hand shooting up to grab onto her jaw as he wrenches her face away from his very vulnerable neck (with all its important veins and arteries).

Hey!

[ If she actually ends up drawing blood by accident thanks to his sudden, forceful movements, then he really only has himself to blame. ]

[Luckily(?) for Falin's instincts, she's found another dragon to pursue. Reed's just admiring some of the fruit, plucking a Peaplumto for herself. Her thick tail brushes across the ground, clearing a few twigs and fallen leaves as she does so.

She only notices at the last second, falling into a defensive pose, but--

Oh, no, Falin's got her. Reed squirms on instinct, trying to get out without actually having to resort to fire. But then Falin bites her and, she, ah, blushes hard. Reed's skin is warm, unnaturally so, and her horns nearly knock against Falin's head.]

Back on the landship, right. Midnight nods slowly. ]


I can see if there's something in the stores. We aren't the only ones with our features, plenty of people here have traits like Elafia or Forte, so I'd assume those sorts of resources must be available for purchase.

[ Midnight looks around, notes where he is in the small area, then looks back. ]

Sit tight, Operator, I'll find you something. Are you hungry? I can pick up a meal for you as well.

[ Is this rizz? No, this is a persisting hostage situation, and Midnight is the type to do his job first. Flirting can come in later, once comms are stable. ]

You are very confused, little bud. Perhaps I should take you to some medical facilities...? Hmmmhmm.

I get confused sometimes too, but I've never thought I was married. That sounds fun, though.

[Karen wouldn't normally get involved in... oh, who am I kidding, she's the kind of busybody who would definitely normally get involved in this situation. But in this specific case, the actual reason she comes over is because she saw the stack of bowls and, for a brief moment, expected to see someone she knew next to it. The second she gets a decent look at Anima she realizes otherwise, of course, but forges on ahead anyway because see previous busybody statement.

The good news is Karen is actually very good at a lot of things.]


Now, now, let's leave some for everyone else, all right?

[Nobody ever said this was one of them.]

[As interesting as this place promised at first, it's starting to get a bit boring. There's nothing to do. Well, they're supposed to do each other. There's nothing to fight, and she was meant to swim in seas of blood. Ugh.

So she's stalking around the garden where everyone is, looking for something that might capture her interest for a moments. The sculptures do, on occasion, but...

Oh, look. Someone's talking to her. Laurentina looks Soundwave up and down. She contemplates, but the clearly grudging way he says that gives her a slight thrill. She grins, and it's clear her teeth are more than a little sharp.]


Ohoho, what should I do with you? You look pretty sturdy. There are so many things I could do. Hmm-- I want you to...

[She leans over Soundwave a bit, getting into his space. Something dark and amused bubbles up from in her stomach, making her grin wider.

Oh, yes. She knows just what to ask.]


...Braid my hair. [Really, she just wanted to play with the dread and anticipation. Either way, she runs her hand through a lock of her pale hair.]

It's thick, and long, and my dear Orca isn't here to help me like she usually does. Do you think you can do that for me?

[Her shoulders immediately relax when he says there's options to help. She's embarrassed that she even needs the help, but even when she was traveling with Dublinn and sleeping wherever they could, there were usually options for Vouivres and "Vouivres" like her.]

If it's not too much of a hassle for you, then... yes. I wouldn't mind something to eat.

[Anyone else she might be a little bit worried, but she feels pretty comfortable letting another Operator fetch some food.

While he's gone, she'll simply remain seated on her bed and try to smooth out her clothes and scales. When he returns, it might be obvious that her clothes are... ill-fitting for her tail, but that's a problem for another day. Even so, it exposes a bit of bare scales and skin on her lower back.]

1. dealer's choice, bathroom button;
[ the thing about dying is, there's really nothing to it? zagreus has died countless of times and taken by the styx only to wake up again back at the house—it's constant, it's routine. so anyone can understand his disorientation and surprise upon waking up after getting gutted by asterius once again not in the house, and not beside the river styx—

but in a bathroom instead.
]

Erm, hi, [ is the first thing he says once the door opens. whether this is a private bathroom or the shared ones, he will be found in the same way: sprawled in the tub with his legs dangling over the lip of it. if his feet look like they're smoking a little, don't worry about it. zagreus flashes a bright smile as he makes to get up. ] Please, carry on and don't mind me, I'll be out in just a moment!

[ well, ]

... Actually, you wouldn't happen to have a... spare change of clothes, would you?

2. smoky nectar, the orchard;
[ persephone's garden has always been a warm and inviting place, nearly as warm and inviting as persephone herself, really. time always seems to slow down and pick up whenever he finally makes his way there, sometimes bruised and battered, sometimes hale and whole. but it always ends this way: zagreus fights his father to the death, he makes his way along the frozen path past the cliff overlooking the sunrise, and finally meets his mother in her garden before the river styx takes him away again back down to tartarus.

this is not the same as persephone's garden by far, but the fruits growing from the trees are just as fascinating. he doesn't realize that these aren't common ones that can be found, but he gravitates towards them anyway, reaching for an orangeberry. not knowing that he needs to remove the hard outer peel, he proceeds to... take a big bite out of it and gets a mouthful of peel. he makes a face as he chews, trying to resist the urge to spit it back out.
]

Mm, that's... unpleasant.

Dealer's Choice
[Vax blinks blearily as the lights of the bathroom hit his eyes. It is followed by a massive pulse of an impending headache and slight nausea. "That'll teach me to compete with Grog..."is muttered under his breath, as he runs hand down his face.

Wait... this place doesn't look or smell like the last shithole Inn they were at. He's sprawled in a bathtub, both of his legs hanging out on each side of the tub, spread eagle, naked, and he's certain that's not where he was last night.]


What the fuck...-

[The sound of someone entering the other room makes him panic, sit up, try to get out of the tub but wonderfully slip and smack his face on the tiled floor. The racket and a yelp of pain can certainly warn the other person of the presence of someone in their bathroom.]

2. Conservatory
[After cautiously exploring the hotel, Vax found himself wandering the flower maze, watching other people roll on beds of flowers and playing different games. He doesn't join, not yet anyway, as he's still nursing a bump from the rude awakening earlier and a massive hangover from yesterday(?).

He finds himself in the orchards easily, actually curious about the all sorts of fruits people have been running away with. Everyone's been acting weird and giddy since he stepped into this place so he doesn't contribute to the effects of the fruit.

And so, since it's free, he picks up some orangeberries and pearapples to try out. He even hands one over to the person walking up to the baskets.]


They actually look really good.

[ooc: open to catch him wandering the maze and checking out chests.]

3. Special Lawn Game
[With the hangover out of the way, he goes back to where most of the people have gathered, some of them laughing, some of them, well- not being subtle. His watch flashes once and asks him to join whatever game they are playing. There's no fights going on or anything along the lines, so he guesses it can't be THAT bad. So he clicks yes.

  • 【 1♡ 】Serenade another player with a romantic ballad.
  • Vax clicks his tongue and mutters something about not knowing many songs, but he can probably remember some of Scanlan's verses. Would that even count? Only one way to find out. He walks over to the first person he sees and addresses them, "Are you part of these games as well?"

  • 【 2♧ 】Describe, in explicit detail, one of your erotic fantasies and/or desires to another player.
  • Oh boy- okay so this one isn't going to be as easy as the first one, but it shouldn't be THAT bad, right? Others have probably done similar stuff already, there are people giggling around and teasing each other. Still, finding someone approachable about this who won't start a fight is now an active task. He tries to look inconspicuous when he steps next to one person, glancing between his watch and them, "So... I had this crazy dream once- can I share it? I swear it's not boring."

  • 【 3♡ 】Make passionate love to another player while in the missionary position.
  • Vax's face grows a bit red and he fumbles to shut down his watch. He doesn't know ANYONE here to just walk up to them and ask that without causing a ruckus. NO FIGHTS WITHOUT VEX, a rule he implemented since waking up here, and this is just asking for it. If anyone sees him fumbling awkwardly with the watch, he'll laugh and shake his head, "This place is pulling pranks on me...", but he won't be fast enough so the screen will be quite visible as well as the task (what is this new technology...).]

    It's not fun. It's a very solemn responsibility. Ooh. I'm a bad wife. Oh fuck...

    [ *Mute eventually calms her tits enough to peek at the beautiful woman through her fingers. "Beautiful". That's a qualifier she should probably... digest that she's noticing. Since that's like, a part of her and all. (Weird, unnatural, but her husband — wife — thought that kind of thing was normal, and she's stuck with a bunch of other barbarians, so. *Mute has culture shock so severe that her ears are still ringing from it, but she is a tough bit of code. She can do this. Maybe.) ]

    Everyone here is confused except me. Sick in the head. [ ... ] Okay, I mean, like, thank you, seriously, for kissing me awake. I didn't want to be out here forever, and that was the solution. I can acknowledge that much. But there's a slippery slope to all of this and everyone's just okay with that. This is all insane. I don't need a doctor. I need to not be here anymore.

    [ *Mute is very aware she is rambling to a stranger. She can't stop. This is the first chance she's gotten to process all of this out loud, and to her horror, it makes even less sense the longer she talks about it. ]

    [personal profile] abyssaint 2024-04-16 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
    [OOC: current player, testing a second! see permissions and kinks. Laurentina has some intense mental illness symptoms, so please see her opt-out for more information on what you're comfortable with.

    Specter is late twenties(~28) so 18+ for any smut! OTA otherwise ]


    i. arrival
    [There's someone in your bathtub. Yes, yours. And even better, Laurentina's first reaction to ending up here naked was to... just start the bath. Now she's lounging in the water, not caring if it splashes on the floor.

    She looks up when someone, inevitably, enters.]


    Oh? It's very rude to walk in on someone's room without knocking. Shame on you!


    ii. flower maze.
    [Laurentina has been wandering the maze, just taking in the scenery. She stops to examine the statues, tutting slightly at how old and decayed they've become.

    But the whispers of even a hint of excitement are what really gets her going. Treasure is so mundane, but it's still a hint of a challenge. And she decides that she probably shouldn't just tear through the walls to find them.

    Finally, thought, she finds a chest and kneels.]


    That's more like it! Let's see...

    [She opens it, and her face falls slightly. Inside is a strap-on harness with a couple of dildos, including a tentacle-shaped one, that can be slotted it.]

    Oh... hum. I guess that does make sense.


    iii. butterfly dome
    [Look, she enjoys pretty things. She knows she's gonna get overwhelmed pretty quickly with just pretty and no action (of the bloody kind), but she might as well enjoy it while she's here.

    So she stands in the butterfly dome, holding a finger out as a butterfly lands on it briefly. It flutters away, and she looks at whoever's come nearby. She looks almost ethereal in this light, but the way a ghost might. Something that sparks instinctual fear.]


    Aren't they beautiful? Butterflies are the closest thing land-dwellers have to the grace of aquatic life, I think. It's the colors, and the way they shimmer. Aah... I wonder if they have any fish ponds in this place?

    [Her pupils are wide, though, from the effect of the pollen.]


    iv. buns gone wild
    [Anyone trying to catch baby rabbits will, at some point, feel a sense of dread. The sensation of someone watching them, movement out of the corner of their eyes -- but then it's gone. It comes and goes, but never shows itself.

    Finally, for someone unlucky, that feeling will height as a streak of white shoots past them. Her speed is nearly inhuman. And yet Laurentina straightens up, only a couple feet away, with a baby rabbit carefully tucked under her arm.]


    Got it! Oh, whoops, was that your pre-- I mean, target? Hah, hah. Too slow.

    [She slots the bunny into the pocket of a jacket, where it's clear she has many little rabbits in there. What the fuck.]



    v. blooming disease (cw disassociation, chronic illness, body horror, religious trauma)
    [Laurentina knew that this place was far too distant from the ocean to maintain her recovery abilities to their full capability. That's fine, she's gotten better at fighting off the fog in her mind that leaves her a ghost. Her body's gotten stronger.

    But even her body can't handle the double pronged attack of oripathy AND this flower disease. As she's begun to cough up petals, her mind has wandered back to being Specter.

    So now she's sitting, waiting to be looked over by a doctor, or perhaps paired with another patient.]


    This is... a gift, a... no, no, it merely means we must pray more. Mmm. It is our vitality within, blooming to the surface in vibrant reveri--

    [Her ramblings are cut off by a violent coughing fit. She spits up some spiky, deep purple petals. Sea holly.]

    Oooohh.... Who are you, again?

    [There's clearly more wrong with her than just the hanahaki disease.]

    I'm sure you aren't. I imagine she'd be touched at how frantic you are about this. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and the loins grow warmer, or something like that.

    [Rude! Anyway. She finishes one flower, picking up another to begin dismembering it. She does make it look oddly violent.]

    You're very welcome. You have pretty lips. [She smiles, but it's almost predatory. Almost. It's also casual. She gives off mixed signals.]

    I don't think leaving will be that easy, but do let me know if you figure out a way. My dear Orca and Swordfish will be so worried about me if I'm gone, and I hate to make them fret. Oh, and my little bird...

    [ Midnight nods, pulls out his watch, takes a picture of their location, just in case he loses track of it, and walks away... About 30 minutes later, he's back, bags swinging at his side ]

    Now then, food first...

    [ He hands her a small plastic take-out bag; inside are two sandwiches in plastic and a couple bottles of water, standard convenience store fare. ]

    One of them says "chicken salad". It's not actually chicken, it's fowlbeast. No cannibalism here, as far as I'm aware.

    [ With that comforting note out of the way, he pulls a pillowcase and a small, flat cushion from another bag, and pulls it all together. ]

    For your comfort, you probably will need to use your original pillow for your neck. This one shouldn't shred, but it may be a bit stiff. Apologies, I'll find you a better one by tomorrow, but I didn't want to leave you hungry for long.

    [Honestly, she nearly dozes off in this position. It's been a long few hours already, and having a touch of privacy is better than nothing.

    But she does perk up when Midnight returns, the glow in her chest flickering with more energy. She blinks and takes the offered food politely.]


    Oh... that's good to know. Why would they call it that...?

    [For now, she just takes out one of the water bottles to drink a little bit.]

    No, that's-- that's perfect, thank you. I will have to find a way to repay your kindness, Operator... [She pauses.] I'm sorry. I don't recall your name.

    [Thanatos is not sure if he should be relieved to see Zagreus, worried that he's here, or judge him that he bit into something that obviously has a peel. He's standing several feet behind him, and slowly crosses his arms, watching with morbid curiosity how long will it take him to realize he ought to peel the fruit before eating it. It's NOT a foreign concept- he has pomegranates all the time (unless he swallows them without even trying to chew).

    When it comes to a point where Zagreus looks as if he'll throw up, Thanatos finally decides to approach him and yank his hand holding the fruit before he bites into the peel again.]


    The concept of having to peel the fruit seems to have escaped you.

    [He's not dressed in the regular thing he wears, so he compromised with some kind of long, black dress with a single rope tie, and then a black shawl over his head to keep parts of his face hidden. Everything aside from the shawl doesn't suit him. It's the best he can do, okay?]

    Hey if you could like not talk about loins for like two seconds (because I've only had loins for two days tops and I only know the theory behind them) I would be super fucking grateful thank you. Also no more lips stuff.

    [ ... A sigh. ]

    No, I'm sorry. I take it back. I know you're trying to make me feel better, you're just. A barbarian and that's what makes barbarians feel better. Sorry. Thanks. For the lips stuff too, even if it's still... no.

    [ *Mute uncovers her face. She can stop herself from having a tantrum for the amount of time it takes to have a civil conversation. She turns her head and looks at the white-haired woman. The destructive behavior is noted. Odd stuff. Things she'd have flagged to monitor if she still had access to security feeds. ]
