【 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.

▷ 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.

[ thanatos may be undecided on how he feels about seeing zagreus (and watching zagreus bite into an essentially unpeeled orange), but zag sure is glad to see him. there's the initial surprise in his frame at the yank of his hand, but he recognizes that hand and that voice before he even turns around fully. at least he remembered to swallow whatever he was chewing first; the taste doesn't even bother him anymore, knowing that he's not alone. ]

Than! [ a bright grin immediately takes over zagreus' expression, fruit momentarily forgotten at the sight of the one familiar person he's seen so far. ] When did you get here? I didn't see you earlier.

[ he missed him a lot... sorry, than. and listen, zag has gone around eating gyros of questionable origins found in urns, so really, this is par for the course at this point. anyway, some things will never change: thanatos' aesthetics and his eternal judgement of zag's antics. it's a charm point. ]

[personal profile] commensalist 2024-04-16 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: I do headcanon Luke as intersex on account of Bug Things, along with having an ovipositor. the latter is basically opt-in, but smut with Luke is definite xeno territory.]
I. The Bathroom Button (add'l cw: none)
[waking up in any unusual place is cause for alarm on a good day, for Luke. waking up in an unusual bathroom is enough to cool the aurorian's blood, bright blue-green eyes darting across the area as he pushes himself to his feet.

naked. unarmed. without even his mask as comfort, let alone his butterflies. clawed fingers curl as he takes in his surroundings, the long, darkly coloured chitinous digits clicking faintly with the movement. where is he? it doesn't feel like Umbraton, even before his attention drifts to the Watch wrapped around his wrist.]


... how troublesome. [his gaze turns back to the surroundings, toe-claws tapping against the floor as he steps forward. there's no other option, after all.] Hello...?

II. The Flower Maze (add'l cw: none)
[navigating mazes is not as difficult for someone like Luke as it might be for others. for one, he has an excellent sense of direction and a knack for avoiding dead ends, cultivated by a life of mercenary work. he's not particularly looking for a partner, but it's not unreasonable to see him in his dumb yellow track suit, moving with such purpose, and follow him toward the centre of the maze itself. should someone make enough noise that they might be heard, his attention will shift a little even while he doesn't stop, eyes narrowing (probably sight unseen).]

... You may as well reveal yourself. It isn't hard to hear you back there.

III. The Butterfly Dome (add'l cw/notes: potential smut)
[ah, this is bliss. really. to say that he'd been elated to see butterflies in the conservatory would be a bit of an understatement, chitinous segmented fingers turned upside down to let a few butterflies alight on the long claws tipping each. for a moment he's quiet, brows furrowing at some unheard something.]

I see... that seems a bit troublesome. Please, don't remain on my account.

[is he... talking to the bugs? yes, yes he is. nodding his head, the aurorian lifts his hand to let them go, lips pressing a little more firmly together at the pollen left behind as a thick coating of dust on his fingers. this, he supposes, is the source of their troubles... pressing thumb and forefinger together, the mercenary examines the resulting shimmer on his fingertips. were this in Umbraton, he could only imagine the nefarious purposes it would have been bred for...

... honestly, it's probably not much better here, but at least the people in general seem a little more... upstanding than that dark underworld city. taking in a thin breath, pollen coating everything too thickly to not be alarming, he... starts forward, rather than back. there are potentially butterflies in danger, after all, and if this horrid pollen has something to do with their lifespans being cut short, so help him—

he can be found, thereby, in various states of reason; Luke is quite exceptional at controlling his expressions and his body, but the longer he's here, the more agitated he'll feel. eventually, he'll just find himself forced to take a seat, possibly around the flowers glimmering with nectar, trying to shake off the heavy feeling of his instincts.]

IV. Special Lawn Games (add'l cw/notes: smut likely)
[when you live life in a city that is basically the entire Underground, the importance of funds becomes something of an ingrained issue. so, it's no surprise when the cheerful message noise appears on his Watch that he... decides to go through with it. sure, he may express his displeasure in the way of a deep frown, but that doesn't mean he's going to press no. there's little doubt in his mind what the "game" is going to entail, given the sheer number of toys strewn about the conservatory here, but sometimes one must do things one isn't particularly pleased with in the name of progress.

so he'll choose either options two or three, and stare blankly at the words that appear on his display for a moment before exhaling a sigh and turning his gaze outward. once he's found someone who seems... unoccupied and not too skittish, he'll make his way toward them, brushing fingers through his hair as he walks.]


Pardon me... would you be willing to assist me in completing this... game? I will, of course, offer the same in return. No exchange should be expected to be one-sided.

[Luke's voice is a little stiff, a little proper, but maybe that's just how he is. or maybe it's just the circumstance that's making him come off a little cold, arms crossing lightly over his chest.]

V. Wildcard
[if nothing here fits, please feel free to plot w/me or roll out a starter of your own! Luke can be a little cagey and blunt, but he's generally a good guy. if someone's suffering from hanahaki he'll be likely to help, and I'm down to plot something with pretty much any of the other prompts as well. he'll be happy to help people with their Game prompts even without his own, as well, though he's a bit of a shrewd customer when it comes to making deals and seeking advantages. just mercenary things. also yes, he can in fact speak to butterflies in particular... and if there are butterflies anywhere he will absolutely flock to them, and be quite taken with anyone who doesn't seem afraid of them. totally normal guy, really.]

[seriously, he'd been coming here for a reprieve from the... everything going on. it definitely hadn't been a thought that there'd be some kind of game option cheerfully telling someone to kidnap someone else all in the same span of space and time.

but Luke is anything but foolhardy, and the fact that his gaze meets another in any kind of uncertainty is concerning. maybe not enough to send a trained mercenary running, but definitely enough to make his lips purse into a little frown.]


Can I help you?

[chitin covered fingers cross over his chest, one set of claws tapping the opposite forearm as his weight shifts, eyes narrowed in suspicion.]

[It's hard to stay judge-y for too long after that reaction at seeing him, because yes, he too had missed Zagreus, for various reasons (coming from both his and Zag's side). He releases his hand with a small sigh and soft shake of his head,]

Not too long ago. I do not know this place, [he suspiciously eyes their surroundings, before finally taking a seat next to him, pulling the shawl down from his head and around his shoulders. It's Zagreus, it's pointless to walk around trying not to be spotted.]

I haven't seen you either, [until now] I'm glad you're fine. [It's one thing to try and break out of the Greek Underworld where Thanatos can make sure Zagreus returns in one piece, it's different when you're cut off from your powers.]

[ And Fuuta deliberately comes to the communal baths at weird hours so he can have as much privacy as possible, too. It's fairly quiet at this hour, one of those rare slices of time where nobody else is around and he doesn't feel so jittery about just lingering in a shower stall letting the hot water run over his bruises to soothe some of the ache.

Then someone just. Fucking. Appears. Crammed right next to him, the two of them sandwiched between narrow shower-stall walls. ]


-- the fuck?! [ Of course Fuuta promptly shrieks in alarm while trying to back off; the only reason he doesn't slip and fall, honestly, is because there isn't really any room too, and he instead stumbles to plaster against the door to the stall. ] How the hell -- who -- wh --

[ And only then, as his sputtering brain struggles to catch up to the circumstances, he realizes he's staring at a naked woman. Unhelpfully, he also squeezes his eyes shut as he averts his gaze. Now they are both blind, and boxed into the shower stall to boot, because he's blocking the door. Great! ]

-- why're you in here?!

[Oh great, just had to be someone who disrespect his personal space. His eyes narrow behind the opaque visor. Shoulders tensed and fists clenched under those puffy sleeves, the urge to step back is rising but he quickly quells it down inside, feet planted firmly on the ground as to not show weakness.

Oh, he knows what she's doing.

The dread, the anticipation- minus the grin and sharp looking teeth, it wasn't too dissimilar to how he loomed over someone, to instill a specific emotional response in them. Amusing whenever he does it, but not so amusing when he's on the receiving end. Unfortunately, he's not someone who fears so easily. However, he also knows absolutely nothing about this woman and so his guard remains up, even when the request ended up being something utterly mundane.

"Braid my hair," huh. He lets out an annoyed huff.]


... I could give it a try. I've watched a friend braid her own hair once.

[That totally counts.]

[The spatial walls that confined them to this place were thick and ominous. While she hadn't had trouble moving between places within the resort there was a feeling of dread that overcame her if she considered stepping outside of it. It was strange. It was a bit irritating. The bunnies definitely made it better, though.]

[She regards the stranger with a judging look. Perfectly capable of retrieving snacks and yet he doesn't. Minus ten points.]

[Closer examination will not reveal any device, wires, or secret invisible servants. Instead it will reveal several more bunnies floating at various angles. It will also reveal her weird choice in clothing. The dress with long, flowing sleeves has a deep cut up the front to reveal tights and a leotard underneath. It's unlike the kind of clothes sold in most of the clothing retailers... unless there was some kind of elaborate cosplay shop for obscure series.]

[And if he gets too close to her thighs or butt, where her clothes leave little to the imagination, she will suddenly rotate 180 degrees in space. The adult bunny in her arms seems distressed by the sudden change of gravity. The woman does not. Her cheeks puff up, a bit indignant about his careful examination.]

What is wrong with you? Are all Faerghans dropped on their heads as infants?

[ When Felix comes to, he's propped up against a tree. The scratches he's sustained in his valiant 'fight' with the maze have vanished, as has any impact that the fall may have had on his body. There is even a small cup of water next to him. Linhardt is sitting nearby, having glanced over from where he is sitting between naps and is scribbling intensely into many different notebooks. ]

Or perhaps something about the cold saps you of a survival instinct.

[ He looks over at Felix, finally giving him his full attention, tilting his head and considering. It's probably best not to tell him how Linhardt woke him up.

Even if his reaction might be amusing. ]


I'd expect you to be attached to Gautier's side.

[ Dimitri's childhood friends had always struck Linhardt as being oddly codependent. (Never mind that he's the same way with Caspar. It's different.) ]

[The woman was a silent force of ramen devastation. The only sounds she had made in the whole time were the clink of chopsticks against bowl, the slurp of noodles, and an insistent "More." that was no longer working for her. Karen's words would probably be better suited to a child but the adult woman does have a kind of childish, spoiled look on her face when she looks up.]

[That look holds as she briefly considers if her actions are worth explaining.]

[She ultimately decides it's not. Karen's intervention does let her admit to herself, though, that this source of yummy food has dried up and she can't expect more. She sighs deeply.]


... very well.

[A victory? The woman stands up and brushes off the front of her apron. While the stolen clothes did a good job of covering her front, her bare bottom is exposed when she stands.]

[Her fangs, which she's still a bit unused to, graze along his skin when he yanks her away. It causes her to make some surface-level scratches that do produce blood, but there's no huge gashes left behind at the very least. He still has her face gripped firmly, yet even so Falin lifts a hand up to her mouth in surprise. Did — did she just assault someone? Oh dear.]

I — I'm sorry... [She says muffled behind her hand. He just looked so... pounce-able.]

[While Reed may squirm, Falin isn't exactly "knocked out" of her impulsive instinct because she's not roughly or explicitly rejected. Instead the woman nuzzles into the curve of Reed's neck. Her lips brushing up against the other woman's jawline. Her fangs start light. Little grazes and nips of that soft skin as Falin explores what bare flesh may be available to her.]

[Back to back they're crammed in the stall together. Falin does her best to huddle against the back corner as much as possible, but as a "tallman" and a mage who isn't very active, she's not exactly the best fit for tight spaces.]

Um, I probably ruined this for you, didn't I?

No point in fighting it, pal. Just say the word and maybe I’ll help ya out.

[ And here’s Sinsa, blotting out the light with his imposing form and his imposing hair. Though sans shirt, power gloves, prosthetic, and even wrench, he’s no less intimidating clad in merely those bright yellow tracksuit pants, hand on one hip while his stump of an elbow hangs freely on the other side.

He’s already looking plenty scuffed and dusty himself, but the butterflies don’t seem to mind given that they’re still fluttering all over him. ]

[I] THE BATHROOM BUTTON;
[Naturally where does Eva end up? In a public bathroom she can easily sneak out of? Of course not! Whoever you are you're going to flip on your bathroom light to find Eva laid out in your tub blinking rapidly at the sudden light.

At least if this is a nicer suite she doesn't look so cramped up. She's still splayed out like someone threw her in there, mercifully not naked but underdressed all the same. The robe she wears is nice as is her underwear at least?

What isn't so nice is once the lights clip on and Eva takes note of what the hell is going on she just gives a long, weary sort of sigh.]


I should be more surprised.


[II] THE FLOWER MAZE;
[At home Eva has a modest garden off of her apartment balcony that she tends to every day. In time her dream is to retire and set up a cottage by the ocean where she can raise yet another garden. To say Eva likes plants is an understatement -- most of her relaxation comes through tending to them.

This, the maze? It's surprisingly still relaxing in spite of how complicated it might be. Maybe it's the well-cultivated flowers or just that she's more predisposed to relaxing in this kind of environment.

She manages to come across a few treasure chests. Most of them have naturally been packed with sex-related paraphernalia. She's more than gotten the impression that this place would really love for everyone to do the deed so to speak and she can only be surprised for so long at finding a vibrator or lube in a chest. Well until she finds the mimic of course. And she's played enough RPGs to know exactly what the damn thing is.

Now she's here in one of those oh so romantic gazebos, sighing as she sits with a drooped posture on one of those plush daybeds. The first person to walk up gets Eva pushing her hands back through her hair and giving them a tired look before she speaks. In her brain she says, "How's it going?"

What her mouth says is:]


How's it fucking?

[Then she just puts her face in her hands again.


[III] SMOKY NECTAR;
[Out in The Orchard Eva is pretty wowed by the amount of fruits around. The crossbreeds intrigue her as a gardner herself and she's easy to find poking amount these new fruits that the gardeners are dying for people to try. She's not sure what to make of the Peaplumtos, wrinkling her nose a touch at the incorporation of tomato in there but also noting with some amusement:]

A tomato is a fruit after all.

[She settles on an orangeberry in the end, taking note of the harder outer peel. Once she gets it mostly peeled though she looks over to whoever else might be browsing the fruits nearby.]

Want to give this one a try with me? It's supposed to be some kind of mix of oranges and blueberries apparently.


[IV] PETAL-STAINED LIPS;
[Okay seriously, enough with this. Eva was technically a doctor but in that same way so many with doctorates were technically doctors. She was more on the psychology end of that scale but she was willing to help out thanks to the lack of manpower present.

The problem? This is her second round with this hanahaki disease. The first time she caught it while helping had been while helping another patient with treating and then curing their own disease. Yeah okay, the cure was unconventional but she's learned by now most of this place is heavily unconventional.

Now she's been coughing up such a variety of petals and flowers that frankly she's just getting tired of cleaning them off of her lab coat. She's cleaning up another set of flowers from off of the floor.]


I never thought I'd hate seeing flowers around me this much.

[She knew she would hate seeing flowers popping out of her, that's not even a question.]


[V] WILDCARD;
[See a prompt I didn't cover but you want to throw Eva's way? Go for it here! PMs are open for plotting.

Arrival
A. Swan Lake Bathrooms

[Hyunsu awakes with a start as the shrill beeping from his new watch echoes through an unfamiliar public bathroom. He ends up stumbling head first out of the stall he's in and landing sprawled unceremoniously across the pristine tiled floor. Yes, the pristine tile is the first thing he takes note of, and not the fact that he's naked. He's ended up naked or half-naked a lot since his transformation, but clean public spaces have become something of a rarity. Monster apocalypses are messy.

He stands slowly, wary, and edges uncertainly toward the bathroom door. He doesn't bother to check the other stalls. Getting out seems more important at the moment. It's a relief when he opens the door and nothing attacks him, but that fades into very open puzzlement as he steps out into an equally pristine (and quite frankly, opulent) library of some sort.

He blinks, obviously confused.]


Where...?

[It's only when he starts to feel eyes on him, some perhaps a little more appreciative than he's strictly comfortable with, that he thinks to cover himself. Someone help him, he has no idea what's going on.]



Cloud Dwelling Garden

B. Lawn Games

[Hyunsu looks down curiously at the watch's inquiry about playing a game. It feels like it's been forever since he played a game. Of course, the kinds of games he's used to are multiplayer video games and those can't be played on a watch.

Still, curiosity gets the better of him and he selects "YES." Then he chooses his level. Easy enough so far. Then he gets his task, at which point he stares blankly at the screen for several seconds before muttering quietly:]


I've changed my mind.


Conservatory

C. The Orchard

[Hyunsu would be the first to admit that he knows very little about food and nutrition. He is a high school drop out who was a shut in and lived on ramyun before the world turned completely upside down. He'd given up being picky about what food he ate a long time ago.

But even he has to admit, these fruits are a little sketchy. It looks more like something out of one of his video games than a real fruit. And frankly, he's had his fill of mad scientists and their experiments. Not that any of the gardeners seem that bad, but he's learned to be cautious.

So, now he's staring quite dubiously at an orangeberry.]


What is it?

[Karen is a doctor and thus actually pretty used to seeing basically every interesting part other people have in a non-sexual context. For some reason she feels like that should make a difference here. It very much does not. She is not immune to the butt. Especially the surprise butt. The good news is that observing Anima's bottom distracts her from her own apparent success, so she's probably not going to internalize the idea that her approach to stubborn children is also a winning strategy with grown adults.

At least not yet.

She snaps out of vaguely horny confusion after a couple of seconds.]


If you're still hungry, I'm sure we can find something else you'll enjoy.

Arrival

[ You were probably minding your own business, planning to get a hot shower, or at least navigate those communal showers. But while you thought you had a possibility to do your cleaning uninhibited, you unfortunately discover that you are not alone.

There is a long-haired brunette, dressed in a kimono, staring intently at her surroundings and looking terribly lost.
]

I'm pretty sure I didn't take a wrong turn this time. I can't be that bad at directions, can I? Did someone forcibly teleport me again?

[ And that was when she noticed you. ]

Oh! Sorry about that. I'm kinda lost, can you help little ol' me out?

Floral Riot
a)

[ Seeing scenes like this remind her, somewhat, of back when she was a student. When push came to shove, Mahora Academy could put some rather amazing displays of beauty. But this dwarfed even that. Konoka had never seen so many flowers before in one spot. So many colors and patterns as far as the eye can see.

Alas, it was too easy to get lost. A turn could go wrong. You could forget where you were going in a path. For Konoka, she simply got turned around and came across a familiar patch she thought she walked past already.
]

Awww, I thought I was doin' well, too!

[ But Konoka seems to have some good luck with running into other people, as upon spotting a gazebo, she opted to barge right in and use the higher view to see where the heart of the maze was. Just her luck, as she was no longer alone! ]

This is pretty cool, isn't it?!

[ Despite the setback of being lost, Konoka was barely containing her excitement. ]

b)

[ Sometime during her adventures in the garden, a notice pops up on her phone. ]

Would you like to play a Lawn Game?

[ Seemed like a good way to pass the time! Konoka accepted. ]

Thank you for choosing to play this game! Choose one of the options below.

[ She read that alongside those options, she wouldn't know what she'd get until she picked one, only that higher numbers would get a higher payout. These would be just simple games, right?

She hit the three of spades.
]

Kidnap a person for 24 hours.

[ Konoka's grimace could have been visible from space. ]


Petal-stained Lips

There you are! All patched up!

[ Konoka waved and escorted the thankful guest as she discreetly put her wand away. She was more of a medical mage, but largely helping out in mundane ways was just as much in her element as the magical side. Making sure everyone was healthy had long been in her job description, and there was always room for more help whether that was through the right spells or the right medical supplies.

She had actually taken up residence here long before the "Blooming Disease" had started swelling up. There was always the issue of stray cuts, bruises, and colds. But lately these exceedingly stubborn coughing fits of people hacking up flowers, finding vines growing from... places and even looking like dryads after a while, she's certainly seen a lot in these past few days. Despite this, though, the next person coming into the room that served as her "office" would still see her offering a bright smile and a wide-eyed look that gave the initial impression that she suspected nothing.
]

Have a seat and relax! I'm here to help you get better. Can you tell me what's been plaguing you?

( the maze isn't anything special, when it comes to the six eyes. every twist and turn is easily kept in with his the curve of his steps, and it feels more like a practice round than anything enjoyable. hands slung into his pockets, he opts to leave the treasure for someone else to find, and instead, concentrates on finding the exit. the broad lawn that it opens up to isn't anything special, either, but at least this feels remarkably different from all of the other places he's been, here, like a literal breath of fresh air. blue roses span out across the lawn, rows and rows of them caught amongst the mottled green underneath, and rather than pick a picnic basket up from the helpful staff waiting there, he decides it's better to wander around himself.

but it's there, at the edge of his senses. it's been a long time since he's felt it, a long time since that acrid curl of cursed energy has risen in a way that's made him immediately tighten his gait, shoulders stiff as he casts his gaze around behind carefully tinted sunglasses. now, suddenly? now, suddenly, there are curses here? his jaw locks, bemused, and standing amongst the roses, he casts a wide span of the six eyes out, locating the little bundle of energy in question.

it's--well, it's not what he's expecting. their eyes meet, across the sea of roses between them, and his lips curl up into a slow, almost menacing smile. this cursed baby boy can probably smell him too, right? doesn't matter what he looks like, doesn't matter why he's here, he should be exorcised.

with a playful little lift of a hand, he waggles his fingers in the other's direction in a wave. )

[ Sitting at the edge of the flowering lawn, Edelgard's pale hair and long-sleeved scarlet blouse make her stand out against a sea of blue. A handful of orangeberries are beside her in easy snacking reach and when she notices someone approaching, she takes care to lower the pencil she's holding and, as casually as possible, close the leatherbound notebook she's been sketching in. Her lavender eyes are appraising but not unkind and perhaps more importantly not disinterested, game for the negotiation his glances between her and his watch suggest to her; she pats the petal-laden ground beside her in invitation. ]

Before you begin, I have been given a prompt in this game myself. It may not appeal to you but I will entertain yours if you will entertain mine.

[ Give her a moment while she presses a few buttons on her watch display. This technology is as foreign to her as it is to him but she has had a few months to grow accustomed to it. She holds it up for him to see so there is no room for doubt: Kidnap another player for 24 hours. ]

It is awkward. [ She assumes that even if the dream he's ready to share is enough to make her blush it will be over in minutes and her own task lasts quite a bit longer. ] But I will make it as worth your time as possible. If you are a new arrival I will be happy to show you around and answer whatever questions I can. My quarters would not require sleeping in the same room, and quite frankly sleeping on my couch for a night would be more comfortable than the temporary room you have likely received. No intimacy will be demanded of you.

You'll find that many customs and norms here are a bit odd. Nothing that one can't get used to, but one may not want to grow comfortable around here in the first place. It certainly isn't RI.

[ Midnight looks around, then just settles himself on the floor, seiza style. Look, there's not a lot of room around here, and he's tall enough that it's not much of a hindrance to conversation. ]

If you're worried about how you'll settle in, please come to see me. I can help.

[ Midnight blinks, still shirtless and in his briefs, hair even more askew from bed and hand on the door handle. There is a beat. He closes the door. He goes back to the bed, checks to see if all of his things are there — yes, there's the mannequin in the corner, his books on the table, his clothes peeking out from the closet. So he's in his room. Ostensibly.

He goes back to his closet, grabs one of his long trenchcoats and a towel, then knocks at the door to the bathroom. ]


Miss? My apologies, I can't find your clothing. Might I ask if you know where you misplaced them.

[ ... Yes, he's just assuming that they banged last night and he somehow forgot. Listen..... He may be stupid. ]
