【 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?"
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 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 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 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.

[But what an excited little volunteer. Matoba has a moment of mental pause when the strange aura of the boy hits him; he glances up from his lap, giving Chongyun a once-over- catching note of his own bright eyes, his excitable energy, his clipboard. His eyebrow raises slightly, contemplating this existence before him.]
... Yes, [He answers after a moment, watchful. A short convulsion, and he raises his hand to his mouth as he coughs- there's a flutter of thin, long petals, a deep crimson like his eye, that spill into his palm coated with slimy mucus.] ...Excuse me. Continue.
weird uncle 🥺
Calm down, Chongyun. He politely hands Matoba a tissue before returning to his clipboard.
The first question, Had you had engaged in sexual intimacy before the onset of symptoms, strikes him as pedantic. Isn't everyone here doing that? Isn't that what they're encouraging? Chongyun sniffs and makes an edit with his pencil before reciting. ]
Had you engaged in sexual intimacy with demons, ghosts, or other supernatural phenomenon that would require an exorcism, before the onset of symptoms? If so, do you believe you are possessed, cursed, or otherwise influenced by copulating with the supernatural?
[ He looks Matoba straight in the eye without blinking. Well, go on. ]
no subject
[Like a dog guilty, he glances away towards a medicine cabinet at the side of the room. Hmm. Interesting. Might he find any useful supplies to squirrel away in there...?]
I am quite certain that I am not possessed or otherwise affected by such things, He offers instead, a non-answer.] Were I to allow myself to be influenced by such things, I'd certainly have perished far sooner.
[Finding his way back to his usual smugness, he turns back to smile at Chongyun, balling the tissue in his fist.] My. Does the Broken Wing offer exorcism services, now?
no subject
No stone can be left unturned in the pursuit of your good health. Any exorcism services, if required, would be of my own volition. [ he adds another mysterious note to the page before clearing his throat, not expanding upon what on earth he means by that, ] To the next question then.
[ Ahem. The next question on the list, Had you interacted with anything out of the ordinary before the onset of symptoms, does not feel detailed enough to prompt an answer that can lead to figuring out the cause. What even counts as out of the ordinary in an extremely out of the ordinary place? Nonsense. The pencil moves again before he recites: ]
Had you interacted with anything out of the ordinary, such as floral spirits or ghosts, before the onset of symptoms? Had you perhaps angered a supernatural deity or triggered a spell that could cause ill effects? Were you involved in any supernatural attacks that could have imprinted lingering effects or altered your own biology?
[ Another dead stare, his pencil ready for the note taking. ]
no subject
[Chongyun does himself the disservice (in the eyes of anyone with sense) of admitting to his personal interests too soon, however, and Matoba's gaze flickers. His eyebrow twitches upward, eyelid widened, like a prowling cat.]
[A far more interesting find, and of more use to him at the moment, than medical care.]
A fascinating question. [His reply takes on more of an authoritative tone this time, more relaxed; his lean on the examination table more casual with his refreshed confidence in the situation, he meanders as he picks out where and how to lead his little "nurse" on.] I have not encountered any plant-like spirits in recent memory. Though I have, of course, observed them- in the Vale, the conservatory, mainly. Have you come across them just yet? Plants with toxic pollens are seemingly no stranger in this place, and I am certain that they may be the cause of whatever illness is spreading across the resort. The question is the why and how of their sudden intensification. The last time I was in the Vale was.......
[He pauses, a montage of yowling and rolling around in the grass playing out behind his eye.] ...Of no consequence.
[Head cocking as he glances Chongyun over, taking in his aura once more. Purification of Matoba's practice took on more a sensation of heat, of fire, but his personal aura had oft been described in such chilling terms. It was different still from the sensation he gets from this boy. Not fire; ice.]
The curse which follows me is not plant-like in nature. [His smile widens, calm.] It is a consequence attached to my blood. Are you familiar with such concepts?
no subject
[ A placid answer despite the excitement that rolls through him at everything his patient says. They can be observed! The Vale, then, he must visit. The conservatory is also a must. However, Chongyun is a dutiful young man, and knows that right now he is a nurse and not an exorcist. Unaware of Matoba's scouring eye, he continues to take notes, quickly filling the page with notations. ]
Since it is irrelevant to your current condition I do not think the doctor will need to be concerned. [ he looks down to the next question, ] Has anyone ejaculated inside of you recently? If so, which orifices? Please estimate the amount of ejaculate as well. [ they're both men, so it isn't too embarrassing to ask this. besides, it's important to learn more about this disease! ] If the individual who ejaculated inside of you has supernatural origins you will need to take one of these.
[ Reaching into his pocket, Chongyun pulls out a bottle of pills and gives them a shake. ]
There is reason to believe that the disease is stronger in patients who have been... finished in repeatedly.
no subject
[Matoba cheerily agrees, leaving the matter of his eye to rest.] How many orifices do I have? --Ah, no, that's not a serious question. [Is it really not embarrassing, Chongyun??] Let's just call it non-zero. By the way, are you authorized to be handling such information? How old are you?
[Nonetheless, Matoba holds out a hand for the pills. Well.......... He doubts that oaf was to blame for this plant-like disease. Now if he was popping out kittens, that would be a different matter. Still, he might as well keep the medicine on-hand just in case.]
Is that right? And what of the ones who have been doing the finishing? [So he can kill him.]
no subject
[ Are his capabilities as a nurse being questioned? Understandable, seeing as he is not a nurse at all. He passes the pills over and makes another note on his clipboard. Seems that this particular patient, while not in need of an ecorsism, has been involved with at least one individual of supernatural origin. As an exorcist, Chongyun cant imagine doing something lewd with the otherworldly ... but he shouldn't judge. Some people simply don't know better. ]
Nothing. They suffer no known symptoms or side effects.
[ He tucks his clipboard to the side, studying his patient from head to toe. A very intense stare. He wants to see more of this paranormal disease but it might be rude to ask this man to cough up some more so he can watch. ]
I apologize. I wish I could be of more help... as an exorcist of Tianheng, I feel responsible given that this is clearly supernatural. [ he sighs, reaching out to gently brush the back of his hand against Matoba's forehead to check for a fever. ] Is it quite painful?
no subject
[Matoba leans back on his hands, perched on the examining table, and watches Chongyun look his clipboard up and down and scratch out a few more notes. Ah, as a youngster, he too had been brimming with arrogance and fearlessness, thinking himself the knower of all things and aching to learn even further (It's like a 4 year difference, you infant). He'd even performed his little 'experiments' and tried out new techniques all the time, when he and Natori were students. But this realm of sacrifices and dealings was no place for a youngster who hasn't yet fully come to understand the helplessness of human beings in this world, the carefulness required in order to survive, the balance of sacrifice and victory.]
It isn't so bad. [He leans up again, clasping his hands in his lap.] When you are an exorcist, you become accustomed to all manners of horrors. Ones that a junior of your age shouldn't yet have to bear.
...Isn't that right? Tianheng, is it? Then you must be of the Eastern schools. [His hand reaches up, to brush fingers across his eyepatch.] I am somewhat familiar with onmyoudo practice that borrows from your basic tenets, but harae exorcism is quite different in its purest forms.
i.
He's nearby the bathrooms when he hears enough of a voice through the door into it that has him decidedly enter it. There's really no reason for anyone to get loud in a bathroom. Belatedly, he realizes that people could be having sex, but it's too late for that. Oops.
Lucky for Chongyun though, since it means Wriothesley can help them out. Nevermind, he doesn't know why they wouldn't have clothes, but that's something that they can go over after.] Ah? Yeah, hold on. [He leaves to grab the first mostly acceptable outfit he can find before coming back to the bathrooms to give to the other. It's a...maid dress. Sorry, buddy.]
Here. I'll help you get other clothes, but you'll have to wear this for now.
no subject
When the maid dress is slapped over the top of the stall door he is silent. Absolutely dumbfounded. What is he looking at? Is this … is this a prank? Stunned silence is lengthy before his voice comes, weak: ]
………………Thank you.
[ Horrified, but resigned. His fingers are numb as he pulls the maid outfit on, tugging the hem down again and again to try and lengthen it somehow. Xingqiu could pull off something like this; Chongyun just feels silly. This is not how an exorcist should dress!
Slowly, the youth steps out of the stall, looking quite embarrassed. ]
I don’t mean to question your kind assistance but… is this really all there was…?
[ PANTS? ]
no subject
His arms are folded over his chest as he leans against the wall waiting.
Wriothesley can't help but chuckle. Not at Chongyun's appearance, but-] I don't think you know where you are from the sounds of it. This is the bathroom for an establishment. An establishment that sells sex products. [Sweet summer child...]
Unless you wanted a cute set of lingerie instead.
no subject
The ruffles do lend a certain level of coverage. The exorcist can only sigh and accept his fate in this case, though his hands still wander to the hem of his skirt to tug it down. ]
An, an establishment for........
[ He drifts, dumbfounded. There are no such places in Qingce Village. His lifelong dream of getting spirited away has finally been met... in the worst possible way possible. All the spirits to enjoy that he wants, but at what cost?! His breathing quickens and his pulse races. Calm down, Chongyun. This is the last place to have an incident. ]
No! No. No, this is very good. Thank you for your assistance. [ he presses a fist into the opposite palm and stiffly bows, afraid of bending at the waist too much with how short this ruffly skirt, ] I don't... I don't know. This can't be Liyue.
no subject
He smiles almost apologetically.] This place sells sex basically. The clothing options are basically limited to kink or roleplay, so this was the best you might get for coverage. If it makes you feel any better, no one will probably think twice about it, so you needn't feel self conscious.
[He holds his hand out to Chongyun.] Here. Let me lead you somewhere that you can pick up something more comfortable. My treat. [Besides, how can he leave them alone at the mention of Liyue??? He can't.]
You're right. We're probably a long ways from Teyvat.
no subject
... You're from Teyvat.
[ He's quickly pieced together that since they aren't anymore any residents or guests could potentially to be from lands unknown. A phenomenon that would normally excite him along with the paranormal, but it's difficult to explore curiosity when he's in a frilly dress. The fact that they share some common ground is enough to prompt him to reach out and take the older man's hand, gripping tightly, as though he's a lifeline way out on the thrashing sea.
Chongyun sighs, the furrow of eyebrows beginning to ease. It's a temporary problem, this dress, and this man has shown him exceeding kindness. ]
I am in your debt. [ he hesitates before looking up to meet Wriothesley's eyes. ] I'll pay you back somehow. When I have the means. [ he straightens up his spine; sure, he kind of wants to delete himself while wearing this, but he'll do his best to put a good foot forward. ] My name is Chongyun, of the Tianheng Thaumaturges. [ he clears his throat and lifts his chin, ] I assure you, I do not normally go anywhere without clothes.
no subject
I am.
[He tugs the other close with their arms linked together. They have to make a stop at the cashier, tapping his watch to pay for the frilly garment, before heading out of the shop. He'll start leading Chongyun to a more normal clothing shop so that they can find the other something more suitable to wear.]
Please, don't worry about it. If you feel such a need, please consider your company enough. [He chuckles a little.] I didn't help you so that you would be indebted to me. It is important to show kindness, no? And it would be cruel to leave you in such circumstances. [Suddenly finding oneself here was overwhelming enough. Finding oneself here, naked in a public space, would be short of mortifying. No, it probably was.]
Wriothesley. Administrator of the Fortress of Meropide. [He laughs brightly.] Don't worry. Everyone that has ended up here has basically experienced something similar. It wouldn't be just you. I think that, perhaps, you have had one of the worst arrivals though.
ii.
Bringing a hand over his lips, he knows traces of his smile remain just as he knows contentment fills his heart.
While he can remain still and continue to spectate, inevitably, he can't remain unnoticed. A dilemma he never imagined facing: a desired reunion that he is entirely unprepared for. Just as he imagines that Chongyun isn't prepared for this environment. Xingqiu knows what the right thing to do is, there was never another option.
Approaching as the rabbit begins its struggle for freedom to woo the young lady rabbits, while Chongyun scolds the willful hare, he can't help but a soft, wistful laugh... that's cut short when the rabbit escapes. He will not get himself crushed by an oversized rabbit, so Xingqiu does the sensible thing and moves out of the way, allowing the hare to escape, but it doesn't seem to go far. Perhaps the basket filled with vegetables (that many restaurant chefs would kill for) tempts the rabbit to remain? Naturally, there isn't a single carrot in sight. ]
There was no mention of gathering the adult rabbits, but then again, they never made it clear what they planned to do with the younger ones, did they?
Have you been fairing well, Chongyun?
no subject
[ Chongyun stops dead from trying to usher the bunnies into the pen. Even separating the Romeo rabbits from their would-be Juliets is thrown out the window the moment he hears that voice. His heart races, something it's been doing a lot since arriving at the peacock, but this is the first time it's been from joy. Even if he isn't happy they're both trapped in some criminally lewd resort, he had missed his dear friend. How many times had he thought about Xingqiu already? ]
Xingqiu. [ he is fast to step forward and close the distance between them; the bunnies he had been trying to shoo eagerly bounce back to the veggies they had been devouring. ] You're here.
[ The question of if he's been faring well earns a small nose wrinkle as he gives his friend a somewhat flat look. Quickly replaced by a small smile, as the happiness of being reuinited supersedes the spicy torments of the sex resort. ]
Much better now. So we were taken together?
[ After all, it hasn't been that long since he saw his friend back in Liyue. ]
no subject
Much better? The sight of so many bunnies really does wonders doesn't it?
[ There is a soft peal of laughter; scanning their surroundings, he soon focuses on his friend again as he motions towards the bunny snacking away at the celery stick in his hand. ] Chongyun, how many rabbits have you captured? If those I see fleeing now are all you've managed to wrangle, you might have much more work ahead of you. However, this time, you'll have me here. Let's work together and see how many rabbits we can gather.
Although this guy might need you to usher him into one of the pens. Actually, considering his size, would he even fit in there?
no subject
A romantic thought soon thrown aside. Frantic, he spins on his heel, face dropping again when all of the bunnies he had so painstakingly gathered up bounce off without a care in the world. All of his hard work!! ]
Ah—no! [ but the bunnies do not listen. the bunnies do not care. they are free. chongyun groans and rubs a hand down his face. ] They really all ran away...
[ All that's left is the big one, looking around and nose twitching with sniffs as he looks for lady rabbits. Chongyun sighs and scoops him up again before he can do his business with a lady rabbit and make more of the chaotic babies. ]
No, he's too big. He could easily jump over the sides of the pen. [ another sigh, before he looks around— ] Even sectioning the bigger ones away from each other, the males and the females, would help assuage the problem. If they're left together they're only going to make more young ones. [ he looks back at Xingqiu, big blue eyes imploring. ] Any ideas, my dear friend?
[ The rabbits cannot be allowed to fuck, bro. ]

Of course, this is Chongyun, who has just failed at a task. Surely, it must be a little disheartening. Rather than opt for the blunt route and ask him about his arrival, Xingqiu focuses on aiding his friend, even if he is still suspicious about what they plan to do with all these rabbits. ]
Let me apologize, I believe I may have caused you to become distrated. Then again, these rabbits are not tamed, so this outcome is only expected if they aren't secured in one of the pens.
Fortunately, there is one left.
[ The single rabbit that is far too big to be locked away, which is a problem of its own. Taking a moment to consider their options, one can see that there is one obvious path they could take. Although it is a rather delicate subject, and considering that they would need someone well versed in medical procedures involving animals... Perhaps Baizhu may know a thing or two? Or probably not. He is a people doctor, not a pet doctor. ]
Are all these little bunnies truly so terrible?
[ Let them propagate to their little hearts' content. ]
But if you're looking for a solution, I may have one. Why not take charge of keeping this guy out of trouble? If you care for him, he won't be out here causing any further problems.

[ You know him, Xingqiu. When seeing those in distress Chongyun cannot look away. Even those back in Liyue, with problems that aren't of supernatural origins—Chongyun will always stop to assist. The staff look so upset and haggard under the onslaught of baby bunnies that it had been impossible for the young exorcist to continue on his way without a care.
Still. He sighs, gazing out to where the stream of young rabbits has headed: another vegetable patch. He can only apologize to those poor vegetables in his heart. They never stood a chance.
But, Xingqiu is right. They do have this one troublemaker in hand. Chongyun hefts the mass of fur up again, refusing to let him go to romance some more lady rabbits and make even more babies to torment the gardening staff. ]
It might be the best I can do. Will you help? It may be difficult to keep tabs on him all on my own.

Of course, he can't help but pity them, even the oversized rabbit in Chongyun's grasp. Although perhaps this may be one of the main troublemakers as it seems keen on escaping to continue its pursuit of the lady rabbits. ] He is fairly large compared to the others. This is the first time I've seen a rabbit of his size. And yes, of course, I'll lend a hand. It was my suggestion to take care of him, although I don't believe I'm capable of carrying him so that task will fall on you.
[ Wait. Did they just adopt a pet together?
Huh.
Well then. Logistically speaking, he doesn't have the room to take care of a rabbit, much less one of this size, nor does he have the financial backing to maintain it. Or... Meeting Chongyun's eyes, Xingqiu smiles. Well, whatever needs to be done. ] I think we have quite a few things to figure out, but why don't we start with something easy? Would you like to name him?
