【 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.

▷ 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.

Not entirely new, my world would have people fall into it from distant realms. Rare, but somewhat understood. So strange, to be the one removed and banished somewhere so... novel.

[Novel is a nice word, because Sherwood cannot say he feels particularly strongly about this hotel just yet. He's still stuck a wildcard and sleeping in the lobby. It's not the most promising circumstance, but he isn't afraid to put in work nor get his hands dirty. If he works well and complies, perhaps they'll set him high on the ladder. As it should be.]

Now, now, they needn't twist my arm. I volunteered for the position. To have healing magic and not offer it to those in need is the mark of a weak and selfish man.

Huh…

[ Sinsa squints down at Luke’s intriguing parts, frowning very hard as he attempts some sort of deep mental calculation, his hand leaving Luke’s thigh to fondle these new bits of him just a bit more, feeling them up carefully in his very warm hands…

Then he looks up. ]


It’s a lot more complicated than I thought.

[ But it’s spoken with the unbridled cheer of a man who just knows that this’ll all work out, somehow.

Which is why he gently pokes at the hole. ]


Does anything special come outta there?

[ And just how far can those chitinous membranes pull apart to accommodate his girth? ]

[ A casket. Interesting priority. It’s not a musing with judgement; Rokurou’s first and foremost priority has always been finding his sword. It’s understandable, but he can only shake his head in reply after some thought. ]

I haven’t seen anything like a casket.

[ It strikes him faintly as odd now that he thinks about it. Not that the man’s possession had been snatched away—but that he hasn’t seen anything relating to death rites whatsoever. A thought Rokurou is drawn away from chewing on with the question; he gives another quizzical look. ]

A bathroom. It’s alright, I didn’t know toilets like this existed either. They can even spray your butt on their own when you’re done. Talk about crazy, huh?

[ And don’t even get him started on urinals and hand dryers. He sighs, as if he’s discovered a marvel of the world. ]

Life is really comfortable for some people.

[ Engage in any sex act involving penetration on the Grand Flower Lawn with another player.

Her eyes widen marginally as she scans the words written on his watch, and then Mona's gaze flickers up to peer at the man who is in possession of it. She is met with long, messy blond hair and a lovely if not shadowed blue, his expression seemingly both hesitant and polite. It's a bit out of place considering just how large and intimidating he is, but she has since learned not to judge by appearances.

He must have just arrived, she thinks to herself. I suppose I looked similarly back then, too.
]

If you are alright with me, then yes.

[ Mona's voice is elevated and haughty as always. It might just be a mask, though. It isn't as though she isn't a little nervous herself. The task at hand isn't too ludicrous, but it'll certainly involve a little more than a peck on the cheek. At least the numerous flowers surrounding them will serve as a little camouflage. ]

Come here, [ she says, beckoning him closer. ] And tell me your name.

No. Well—yes. [ the face crinkles with a slight frown before easing back into a smile. ] I’m looking for a sword! I’ll take any sword at this point, as long as it’s real. Chests like these used to have swords back home.

[ He’s back to looking faintly disappointed as he thinks back over the treasures he’s managed to find over the last few hours. ]

I found some snacks, which were fine. The clothes were useless for me since they were women’s clothes. The haunted dildos have just been annoying… oh, there they are now.

[ A few shapes rise from beyond the hedges. Floating, vibrating, and ominously heading in their direction. ]

[ Makes sense to him. A soul coming back in another form isn’t unheard of where he’s from. One with a sphere of bunnies, however, is a bit unusual. The daemon watches and listens intently for her decree, figuring she will ask for something along the lines of cabbage or grass. That’s what rabbits eat.

But—carrot cake? He is momentarily dumbfounded. ]


Huh? Wait… rabbits shouldn’t have sugar?

[ Obviously the core of the bunningularity is also a rabbit of some kind. Ignoring the fact that he has no idea how to get carrot cake, surely it can’t be good for her.

After a quick look around the ground, Rokurou picks up a stray raw potato and approaches the bunningularity. ]


Here, how about this? Fresh and healthy.

[ He holds out this dirt covered potato. 🥔 ]

[i don't know, is what he wants to say again, but instead:]

I'm used to being asked to do things in this game. It's not my first go-around, after all.

[one of the reasons why he knows who hyunsu is is because of a world where he had to be intimate with other people.] This is the third world I've been to where I've been told that to ‘progress,’ we must participate. I have not, however, done anything against my will if that's what you're wondering.

( It had occurred to Dimitri when he'd arrived that if he'd been brought here, it could have been possible others were as well. He had no way of knowing if that were true or not, let alone who else might be the victim of such circumstances. And he had considered for a few moments that it could be someone from the Alliance, or worse yet, the Empire. He'd braced himself for that inevitability. He'd told himself he'd do his best to handle it with as much dignity and grace as he can manage, something he hadn't given the others months ago when they'd met on the battlefield for a real rematch of their mock battle in school.

Even so, he isn't prepared for this moment.

The fair skin, the scarlet top, and that pale hair - Dimitri is certain he'd recognize Edelgard anywhere. It's a realization that hits him violently, makes his breath catch in his throat, eye widening slightly. There's a sharpness in his chest, a sudden tension in his muscles, and his hands ache from how hard they curl into fists. It's hard to fight down that voice in the back of his mind that urges him to do more than just sit there, to lash out, to hurt her in all the ways she's made the people he cares for suffer. And if he'd been brought here a week earlier, he's sure he would have listened to it. That he would have given into that beast that lurks beneath his skin that aches to see her head from her shoulders.

It's the lack of recognition in that purple gaze that stills him, though, that helps the air return to his lungs. He recognizes the look in her eyes - it's the same one she'd given him at the academy when they'd been introduced. The look of someone who didn't recognize him, despite their meeting long ago. There's nothing there that says she seems him for who he is, and he tries to hold onto that. Though he finds it strange that she doesn't see who for who he is, brings too many questions that he can't make sense of in that moment.

He takes another breath, and finally, he nods.
)

I will help as best I can.

( His voice is still careful, awkwardly polite, but he manages to fight down his feelings of uncertainty. He can.. do this. He can make himself rationalize this, find a way to keep the situation as calm as he can manage. They may be on opposite sides of a war, but that doesn't mean they have to fight. They can talk without the blood and violence.

But as his gaze lowers and he reads those words... Perhaps violence might be a better option.

Color blossoms across his cheeks, gaze flicking away as he bows his head as if to hide behind the shaggy bangs in his embarrassment. He clears his throat, nodding again.

Fantasies of those sorts have been lost on him, truth be told. They'd been a passing thing in his teen years, an unfortunate product of being a healthy, growing young man, but never something he'd allow himself to indulge in. And after he'd learned the truth about the flame emperor, when his mind had splintered that day, those sorts of feelings and thoughts have never been able to pierce his thoughts. Lost to a blood lust so deep that the only thoughts of closeness was not to find intimacy but to inflict pain.
)

I... ( He starts, forcing himself to lift his head, to meet her gaze. ) I haven't thought about such things in some time.

( While Dimitri would say he'd at least had the chance to talk to the all the other students during his time at the academy, he can't say he knew or even knows all of them particularly well. And over the course of five years with a splintered mind driven only by something dark and bestial, it's hard to remember much about those outside his class. Perhaps that's why it doesn't come to him immediately that the person he sees in front of him is someone from home.

He tilts his head carefully at the other as he speaks, muddles through the whisper of thoughts that there is something familiar about this person. But then those hands go up, non-threatening, and he speaks again. It's in that moment that something clicks into place, a flash of a memory of a brief conversation of nothing in particular. Linhardt - one of Edelgard's former classmates. Someone allied under her even now that he'd seen from a distance on Gronder Field not long ago. It's a revelation that brings tension to his shoulders, jaw tightening as he regards the other.

Those hands would seem like a pacifying gesture from anyone else, but from a mage, there's far too much that can happen without those hands that he knows to be wary of. And as he is now, the mind of a prince once more in control of the beast that prowls behind those blue eyes, he makes no move to attack or come closer. Linhardt would be too easy to break under his hands, and even if there is murmur of that possibility, of that desire, he doesn't act on it.

Letting out a quiet breath, Dimitri says stiffly:
) Linhardt. ( His hands flex at his side, fingers curling slowly. ) What is strange?

( And there it is - the wariness of someone looking upon a beast in a human guise. It must be hard for Sylvain to see his childhood friend when he looks at him now. Dimitri hardly blames him, and despite an ache of guilt, a reminder that this is what he deserves, he says nothing. Instead, he watches, takes in the small ways Sylvain moves, how his expression changes. What else can he say here, he can't help but wonder. What could he possibly say to make this situation easy to muddle through, to reassure Sylvain that he's talking to a friend instead of the shadow of a man he'd been only days ago?

He doesn't know if he has the words. But he does, at least, manage a soft huff of a breath that is an attempt at a laugh in response to those words. He supposes it is expected that someone would be saying those words to the prince instead of the other way around. Not that he's felt particularly like a prince in some time.
)

Yes. ( He confirms with a nod of his head, pushing himself slowly to his feet. There'd been a time, he remembers, where Sylvain had been taller than him. Broader with his age. But now they stand nearly eye to eye, and it feels strange. As if he's seeing the other man for the first time in years all over again. ) Yesterday. In a... bathtub of all places.

( He tries not to let himself get swept up in the memory of it, being naked and alone in the cold porcelain of some unknown bathroom, but the way he gives a small shake of his head says he's clearly thinking about something unpleasant. )

[ He can’t remember the last time he heard Dimitri laugh. A real laugh. He’d mourned it, along with everything else they thought they’d lost. And while that was only a shadow of what it had once been… it was still something. More than he’d heard in an age.

Amber eyes warm a little and he does reach out now, clapping a hand on Dimitri’s shoulder and giving it a warm squeeze. Even though he’s not yet sure how that will be received. ]


Let me guess. Naked as the day you were born? [ This place had a reputation for awkward arrivals, after all. ] Hopefully you were at least the only one in it at the time. I can’t claim the same, even if I woke in a bed and not the bath.

[ He’d done his best, but he’s pretty sure he hadn’t made a good first impression there. At all. ]

( now that she no longer has to lay low from others, guideau is here, experiencing the gardens. despite the blooms of roses intertwined with the diamond mark on her neck, she has little love for the fields of flowers, and is easily found overseeing them with a scoff. in fact, as genya approaches, she’s in the process of stomping down a particularly offensive rose, grinding it under the heel of a boot a little too stylish for the deranged monster she actually is. )

— It’s you.

( she remarks when glancing up to see him. a fairly neutral greeting, all things considered, if not outright positive. genya has more charm and swag than he could ever imagine, as it turns out. )

The hell are you so sweaty for?

( well? still trying to pulverize every last molecule of the world’s unluckiest rose, she folds her arms. )

[Deuce was noting somethings on a clipboard he had when Vil entered and and waved to him, watching as he guided the patient in.]

Oh, hey Schoenheit-senpai. I'm supposed to make sure everyone gets their meals. It's a little hard though, because no one has an appetite.

[He'd gotten his patient to down the soup they'd provided him, which had taken a long time. This wasn't nearly as easy as Deuce had thought it would be.]

Are you just checking people in?

[Deuce walked over and glanced at the the info Vil had taken down.]

There's a lot of them.

Hey!

[Deuce dodged away from Ace and then flicked his nose back.]

And it's my room. I was going to take a shower.

...you don't know what's going on, do you?

[Noooo, he doesn't want to have this convo.]

Sorry, I was just a little surprised.

[Deuce scrunched his nose up at the mention of toys and shook his head.]

No, I'm not. A few of the chests had candy though, so I was hoping to find some of that. Or some of the less weird clothes. Haven't had much luck so far.

[Deuce had a small shopping bag with him that did have a few treasures in it. Mainly some kind of frilly looking shirt and a heart-shaped box of chocolates.]

I'm Deuce Spade by the way. Sorry about just bursting out like that. I don't think I've met you yet.

[ wow... so smooth, deucey. he wrinkles his face in mild irritation before it gets replaced by complete shock. ]

This is part of your room?!

[ color him surprised. ]

And no, of course not. This watch's face has been blank the entire time.

[ holds up his wrist to show it off. ]

Why? Did you win some kind of trip... or is this some kind of punishment?

Oh, I'll bet you do.

Not a fucking chance. I do my best work where I'm at. Running for VP sounds like a nightmare. No offense.

I'm not sure my guy is the right one for that job. Let's just say he's a little old-fashioned. Product of his time. Those history books teach you anything about Tail Gunner Joe? McCarthy.

Meet me there in two hours. I'll still be wearing the hell out of my suit.

[Deuce sighed and ran a hand through his hair. It looks like he was going to have to do this. How terrible.]

Kind of more like a punishment. for me and now you. And everyone else here.

[He crossed his arms.]

You're stuck here, like the rest of us. You do get your own room though.

[ a revelation of that magnitude is not what he's expecting from jisu, watching a strange shift take place that he wouldn't have believed if it hadn't happened right before his bleary gaze. maybe it's the illness that's making him see things. on a physical level, embry has fucked boys and girls since his teenage years — he'd find the most attractive boys at boarding school to sleep with, and then come home for the summers and lose himself in the prettiest girls at the beach. being who he is — wealthy and beautiful himself — he's never suffered from a lack of attention.

maybe that's why it's so hard now to deal with his broken heart. nothing prepared him for falling so hard, and there'd been even less to cushion his fall when he'd thrown himself off the jagged cliff and rejected ash's love out of necessity for their futures. but jisu doesn't have to know about that. she's here simply to provide a cure, and embry just needs to take it.
]

I can take a little pain.

[ he can take quite a lot of it, actually, sitting up with his pale gaze tracking her. with jisu out of their coat and shoes, embry reaches out for their hand, snagging their wrist to pull them against the bed, his fingers reaching up to trace the line of their throat. ]

I want to see your whole body. [ his lips press to the underside of her jaw, skin unbearably soft, while his words rumble in a soft rasp. ] Undress.

yeah, those are fuckable traits, but i've fucked those traits about two-hundred times already.

[deadpan:] You're too kind.

[it is actually kind, especially since it's unnecessary. but in his eyes, luke's inconvenience isn't his fault since he told him specifically to just leave his ass!]

A navigator - is that a person or an item? It makes sense that light would be a component to form Lumina. It is a type of energy, though usually not magical in nature and thus usually not used in magic. It's interesting that yours does.

[he raises an eyebrow at the... interesting? person this sinsa sounds to be.]

Is this guy a moron?

[the single question he has about him.]

Oh.

[ he frowned. 'the rest of us'??? he's only seen deuce so far, but if this was some kind of swanky jail... ]

That doesn't sound that bad. [ a beat, and then he snorted. ] There a catch?

[ isn't there always one... ]
