【 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.

A towel?

[Her eyes open, and she shuffles around to face him instead of the corner she tried huddling herself into. A gentle hand rests at his shoulder.]

If you're not done I could wash your back as an apology.

[ He'd still been fumbling blindly with the latch on the door (I've decided that yes he is wearing his eyepatch even in the shower and looking like an idiot) and gives a startled yip when he feels the touch to his shoulder. The stall door rattles from the way he starts against it, and Fuuta ... hurriedly tries to hide his body with his arms.

It's more that he doesn't like people seeing his bruises any more than necessary, rather than any concern over his chest (there's nothing there anyway), but the effect is the same. His face is red as he averts his gaze and sputters, ]


I just said -- ! [ Ugh, whatever! ] And why the hell would you wanna do that?!

[personal profile] repasco 2024-04-18 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I ruined your privacy and your wash time... it's the least I can offer for now.

[Implying that she might owe him more? Well, it's not like she's all that bothered. Having run around a dungeon basically naked for a good stretch of time seen by a whole host of people...

In the end even if her feathers are wet they serve as a suitable censor. Ah, but even with her eyes lazily lidded out of habit (from when she had poor eyesight) she can see his battered body just fine. The improved eyesight from being fused with the dragon can be both a blessing and a curse. Without even a second thought, she uses her hand on his shoulder to begin dulling his sense of pain.]

[ And idiot that he is, Fuuta doesn't even realize she's doing anything; he's honestly too distracted by the fact that a naked woman appeared in his shower stall. Like, yeah, okay, this freakshow of a place being the way it is means everyone's way more casual about nudity than they really should be, but ... like? Still? That isn't normal? ]

Are you serious? You think I'm concerned about my ... wash time?

[ The longer this conversation(?) goes, the harder it is to keep his eyes averted the whole time. Even if he doesn't intend to stare, he can't help the way his gaze drifts over to the expanse of feathers laid over her body; what is she, some sorta bird-human hybrid? (Sure, why the hell not. Like this place can't get any weirder.) ]

You just appeared outta nowhere. In a shower stall. You don't know where you are, and you're worrying about a stranger's wash time? Did you hit your head that hard?

Um, well I wasn't in the middle of doing anything important. And you seemed so upset when I got here. If you just hate being close I'll understand.

["I just want you to be happy/comfortable/etc" really seems to be the vibe she's pushing here. No care for her own exposure, the sudden relocation from where she was or how to get back. Even the message on the watch that should have given her a fright has all but become just another worry for some other time. If it even will be a worry.

Falin's desires have always been guided by others that she cares about. Why would she be all that pressed about her own inconveniences?]

[personal profile] pyrolyzed 2024-04-19 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nudity briefly forgotten, Fuuta just, like, stares dead-eyed and dubious at Falin for a moment. Girl, you are immediately getting labeled 'needs someone (read: me) to take care of her.' Because what kind of space case just ends up teleported to a stranger's shower stall and ends up worrying about them, first? ]

... I was upset because a stranger just appeared outta nowhere. It's normal to be surprised when something like that happens, okay. I'm not mad about the shower.

[ Her attitude's so weird, in fact, that it's at least helped him calm down somewhat. Which is probably a good thing? Maybe. Fuuta rubs a hand at his temples, using the other to brush Falin's hand off his shoulder. ]

Whatever. I was done anyway, just -- taking my time. So I'm gonna get you that towel now, alright? You gonna listen to me and wait this time?

[personal profile] repasco 2024-04-19 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She lets her hand fall away, and... its curiosity why she cannot fix his wounds, but she won't question it for now. Instead Falin gestures at Fuuta.]

If that's what you'd like. May I have your name first, though? Mine is Falin.

[It's rude not to provide your own name, right? Besides maybe if she has his name she can pay him back in some other way.]

[ 'Falin.' He's pretty sure he's seeing a character in some fantasy MMO or another named that, he thinks distractedly. ]

Fuuta. I'll be back quick.

[ He says as he yanks the door to the stall open. ... except it opens inwards. And it's really cramped in the stall. So he kinda. Has to. Scoot back as it opens, backing right up into her naked chest on the way.

Don't mind the flustered little squeak he gives as he feels her befeathered boobs squish against the back of his shoulders. ]
repasco: (85)

[personal profile] repasco 2024-04-20 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[It's nice, actually, to feel the body of another. The brief press of his back flush to her front is warm, and comforting, even if it's only fleeting. It's been such a long time since she has actually felt lonely, yet somehow Falin can tell she's been separated yet again from people she'd consider to be her anchors and consistent friends. Perhaps it's the supernatural feel of the resort, or maybe the dragon blood in her veins giving Falin that hunch.]

I will be patient.

[She replies without missing a beat despite his cute, startled squeak. A part of her wants to lean in and nip at his neck. To gently pinch that delicate skin between her teeth as she feels his whole body shudder under—

No. That would probably be rude.]

[ And Fuuta, oblivious to her desires, slips out of the shower stall as soon as he's pulled the door open wide enough and scurries his way out of the baths. It's silent for a few moments before there's the plap of wet feet padding across the damp shower floor, then the creak of the shower door easing open again. ]

Here.

[ Fuuta shoves his arm in, first, holding out one of the bigger bath towels for her to take. There's a brief pause before he pokes his head in afterward to confirm that it's him, though he averts his eyes from her soon afterward. Out of principle.

He's hurriedly thrown on his own shorts and T-shirt, though a hasty job toweling himself off and the humidity of the air's plastered the flimsy fabric against his skin, damp and almost translucent. ]


C'mon. Cover yourself up and you can get outta here. Can't be comfortable being naked when you don't even know where you're at.

[With the feathers she's barely even naked. Sure, Falin prefers wearing clothes because patches of skin (under bust, stomach, forelimbs) are featherless, but if push came to shove she wouldn't consider herself too exposed.

Falin grabs the offered towel, and steps out of the shower. While a normal woman might have wrapped it across her chest and worn it like a dress, Falin simply begins patting herself down and drying out her feathers. Probably to the dismay of her little White Knight determined to protect whatever honor he perceives her to have. But instead of being a proper lady concerned with such things, she's propping her leg up against a bench and patting dry her feathery inner thigh.]


Do you know where I'm at?

[ You know what. At this point, he's barely even surprised. Fuuta sighs but decides to save his breath instead of bitching at her about covering herself up properly; he instead crosses his arms and very pointedly looks off to the side as she props her leg up. Nobly resisting the urge to stare. -- purely because he's curious what the fuck is up with all those feathers! Not in any sort of pervy way!

(... okay, maybe a teeny, tiny bit in a pervy way. But mostly out of chaste curiosity!) ]


We're in the communal bathroom for the lower ranks here.

[ Pause. ]

... you do know where 'here' is, right. The resort?

[ He'd been assuming that she was already a guest here that had just ... kinda gotten misplaced by the resort's whims. But now that he thinks about it, that's not guaranteed, is it. This is going to be such a headache if she's a new arrival to this insane place that just ended up here, with him. ]

Actually, I did listen to the watch, but I'm not sure it made much sense to me.

[Once she has most of herself patted and dried, Falin wraps the towel around her waist like a skirt.]

[ Oh god don't fucking scare him like that. He seriously thought for a moment that he'd have to say "you're in a big swanky resort where the management wants you to fuck 52 different people" out loud to a clueless girl. Which could only possibly result in him looking insane, or like a creep, or like an insane creep.

Fuuta ends up giving a wobbly sigh before scuffing a hand through his still-damp hair, tugging his fingers through a tangle. ]


Well -- you should go back and read that message again, because it's all true. Unfortunately.

Again? Oh.

[Well, if she has to. She'll save that for later, though. Instead she falls in beside Fuuta like he's some sort of tour guide. His prickly but ultimately kind behavior reminds her of Chilchuck, so Falin finds herself comfortable when she settles instep with him.]

How long have you been here?

[ She falls into step beside him, and Fuuta sniffs before starting to lead the way out of the showers. ]

Me?

[ Uh. Give him a second as he scowls and looks aside, counting the weeks he can remember on his fingers. The deeper furrow between his brow makes it very obvious how he feels about the answer he eventually has to give: ]

Like ... four months.

That can be a long time for someone to be separated from their home if they didn't as for it. Have you had fun?

[Her hand reaches out to him. As if she wants to reassuringly rest it on his shoulder. However... well, he doesn't really seem all that happy with her presence. He's been kind and insistent on helping, but unlike Chilchuck he's not getting anything (like payment) from providing assistance. Falin withdraws her hand, and decides she'll wander off to try and learn more so he doesn't have to be burdened. After all, he looks so stressed already!]

[ He's just going to give her a Look for a moment at that ... though Falin might notice the way his face has gone a little red. 'Having fun' in this place is a loaded statement, after all, and there's no way he wants to answer it out loud. ]

It's -- whatever. It's a long time, but I'm stuck here, so I gotta deal with it, I guess.

[ It's a long time, but also nowhere near as long as the time he was held captive in Milgram. Complicated.

Anyway, more importantly: ]


We gotta get you some clothes. [ Sorry Falin, now that he has designated you His Responsibility (nobody asked for this???), Fuuta mutters half to himself as he scuffs a hand through his hair. The hand reaching for him might have gone unnoticed, but that doesn't mean he's planning on just abandoning her here. ] You probably don't have any chips if you just got here, though ...

If this is a place with lodging then maybe I should check in? I'm not sure if I even have a room yet.

[Well, her decision to wander off or not has been made. With him saying, "we" it seems like he intends to stay by her. How nice of him!

As they walk her hands reach up to her body. Carefully preening her feathers and making sure they settle correctly as they dry.]

Oh -- yeah, obviously? [ It's totally not that he forgot about those vouchers that he'd gotten when he first arrived here? He was totally keeping those in mind? ] But you still gotta, like, go there to get clothes, and having to go there in just a towel would feel kinda weird ...

[ He sighs before fishing his hoodie out of the temporary locker he'd been keeping it in while showering, holding it out for her to take. Truth be told, he doesn't really like wandering around without it -- it feels bad having only a flimsy T-shirt hiding his injuries -- but he'd feel like a real scumbag if he didn't at least offer it to a clearly naked and confused girl, so. ]

Here, use this for now until we get you something else. It should mostly cover you.

[Falin gratefully accepts it, but just as she's about to put it on, she pauses.




For quite a bit.



And then:]
I might stretch it out.

[ It actually takes him a moment to process what she's saying. Then his brain catches up, and Fuuta wastes no time in looking vaguely insulted, face flushing hot. ]

-- you're not that much taller than me?!

[ She's like, what ... five centimeters taller? And just a little (hm) more muscular? -- not that it even matters?! It's not like he cares??? ]

Whatever. You can just use it for now and then throw it out after, anyway, so it doesn't matter. [ Actually, it does sting at his wallet a little to have to throw out a perfectly good item of clothing, but ... right now, recouping his pride comes first. Goodbye, cheap dollar store hoodie that's served him well so far. ] So just put it on, alright?
