【 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.

Flower Maze
Someday. Until then, she'll keep showing up.They had found out about that. Just as they found out the truth of the honeymoon suite mix-ups from earlier. ]
I haven't, actually. Would you like to go through together?
no subject
His wife!
Shock fades to relief, then twists into guilt. He spent some time trying to find her again, his search even bringing him into the darker side of the resort, nothing to any avail. Yet could he say it was long enough? Did he give up too easily and let himself be distracted by life in this place?]
I...
[His mouth opens and closes soundlessly, before it forms a pained smile.]
Yes, I'd like that very much.
[He can say more when his emotions settle some more. For now, he lifts a hand with a slight tremble for her to take.]
[ooc: I was delayed I am sorry ;;]
no subject
And taking the further step to wrap an arm around the waist in a hug, resting her head into the crook of his neck.]
Somehow, I think I got lost? I hadn't even realized so much time passed. First I was in one of those baths with salts and oils after this contest where I was covered in whipped cream, then I was showing up like all of the new arrivals in a different bathroom.
[ Meaning she was still a wildcard, but one that was around again. ]
Have you been doing well?
no subject
That happens to be an ordinary day in this place.
[One hand holds the small of her back, the other near the base of her neck. Touching another with such familiarity still does feel novel - even after what else has transpired - but it surely isn't unusual for a man and his wife. He had always been one more tactile with people, and being so close to another feels good.
Is that why it was easier to let his guard down against this place?]
Yes... I've been fine. Our "hosts" moved me to another place to stay, however.
[He isn't the kind to tell anyone otherwise, no matter the circumstances, but it is mostly true. Compared to the dangers from where he lived, it's still relatively safe. He's also been well-provided for, which he can't help but feel a bit embarrassed about.]
I'm only relieved that you're all right. I feared that you had disappeared from here entirely...
no subject
Is that right? You were checked in properly, then. Have you been eating and sleeping well?
[ He looked to be in good shape, which she was glad for. All these little questions ultimately were a means of affection in their own. Steadying with a deep breath, Jisu released one of her arms to at least reach up and brush fingertips through some of the hair framing his face. He really was quite sweet and easy to look at. Surely he had no troubles going along with this 'game' that was going on. ]
I think I can be stubborn enough to keep around in some way until they fully check me in. So if I disappear again, just wait a little while again, okay?
no subject
There's no need to worry about food here. This place has more markets and places to eat at than many cities. Even if someone doesn't take part in the game too often, we're all given some of their currency now and then.
[Well, he never stayed for too long in a large city, though this resort feels like a large, enclosed one all the same.
Hearing that she will stay around lightens his heart at first, but memories of the recent past flood back to him. Even if she sounds capable, nothing could have prepared him for those "springtime activities"... and that's not even addressing his own actions.]
When you do, you must know that this place makes people act... unlike themselves.
[His expression becomes more troubled again. After all, he would want to protect her from the bizarre "games" the hosts like to play... but how can he be sure of that with the tendencies that take hold of him?]
no subject
[ Which meant he was being well taken care of, given everything else about the resort. Honestly, she hoped he never got to the lower levels and met some of the creatures that were around. With so much probably being a new experience, Jisu didn't want him to get overwhelmed and pushed to a breaking point, even if she learned that this place will push.
Which is why there's both a sympathetic and understanding smile on her face at his warning. ]
Because it takes away or makes you push aside any inhibitions?
[ It didn't seem that she was going to pull out of the hug anytime soon either, tracing her cool fingertips along his features after seemingly content with his hair. She probably should pop that bubble on what his wife was. ]
I remember some of the things from before, including the slot machines. For right now... Remember how I said I was 'special', in the sense that you wouldn't hurt me? For the same reason, I can smell something lingering on people that have walked around, and because of it I can guess that there's a link to the heavy scents of fruit, pollen and sex.
[ She can also smell and feel just how spring they made it feel, which, after having been in those cold tunnels... She won't exactly have the excuse of things doing that to her. ]
No matter how it might make you act, I'll still consider you my husband.
[ Though she realized after that it sounded like she was 'taking responsibility' for taking his virginity or something. ]
no subject
But just as he had realized when he reunited with his friend, questioning others over and over will do neither of them any good. He will only have to trust in his wife's words. If he does anything beyond forgiveness... he'll just have to consider what to do with himself at that point in time.
He gives a small nod.]
Mn.
[Her hints at some other matter about her nature do pique his interest, but he will let her continue speaking about it without pressing further. He isn't the kind to pry into secrets... and he also has to consider the situation of being married yet having had relations outside of it.
For now, he finally takes his arms from around her.]
If this place will separate us once more, let's enjoy the time we have together until the next. I can hear the other guests walking by us...
[Not that such affection is something to be embarrassed about, but he's sure that many of them are noticing their emotional moment.]
no subject
Then we should have that walk into the maze. I should tell you more than little pieces that I have so far...
[ It's just not exactly something that's been expressed to anyone directly or blatantly before. Clearly Jisu wasn't going to go immediately into the subject, wanting a bit more privacy, and also focusing on some of the flowers. She didn't know flower species that weren't used for medicine, so it was mostly about the colors and shapes, and being able to tell the different notes from them all. It's an easy distraction, especially with hearing others on the other side of the hedge, when trying to figure out how to start the conversation.
Eventually it was going to be private enough. ]
Honestly, I'm not sure how to start this without it being a big shock. The closest I've gotten was that a long time ago, I learned a technique on how to change my shape...
no subject
Though even he can't ignore that his wife wants to tell him something, even as she hesitates.]
You do not need to tell me anything that you would rather not. But if you believe it's for the best, I'm certain that it will do nothing to change how I feel about you.
[Turning his face towards her, he gives a smile.
He's quite fine with them both keeping any secrets. Even with his closest friends of the past couple of years, he knows little about their past, never one to bring it up.]
But I must say, that is quite a shock. To change your shape... you must be quite powerful.
[As uncommon as it is, the concept is not unfamiliar to him--but he certainly never expected to marry someone with such a capability!]
no subject
[ However she knew that it would eat at her to have all these things that were part of her nature just being... danced around. It would feel like she was lying to someone that she also wanted to stay by the side of. They were all truths about her that wasn't shameful, and with someone that was more than an average human, it felt like she shouldn't have to hide it. ]
It takes a long time of cultivating, because doing so is so slow... When you were originally a snake.
[ That was it, the big revelation. One that has her nervous enough to rub her fingers up and down against Xiao Xingchen's arm. After all, what she was was considered the same as demons and monsters, as something to be hunted, where she was from. ]
I'm still a person, it just took a different way to become one.
no subject
Is that so? That... that's wonderful! It's quite the accomplishment. [His laugh is warm.] A feat like that must have taken great dedication.
[Though he did not expect it, he truly is in awe, almost feeling as if he's been too informal in the face of someone who must have struggled hard to get to such a state. This wasn't what he expected earlier, but he's heard of such cases as well.]
It does explains something that I noticed...
no subject
Really... How did I get paired with such a sweet and wonderful husband?
[ There's a soft sniff sound as she pushes back the tears that almost formed from that bit of happiness. He didn't see her as a monster- Her hand linked fingers with his in a soft squeeze. ]
Ah, so there were already signs you picked up? I admit, I didn't know much about humans when developing this and the male form. Some things were done with assumptions and others I filled in the blanks with something closer to my original anatomy.
no subject
When he left his place on his master's secluded mountain, he knew he was descending into a world full of cruelty and injustice--his mission was to set what he could right. It isn't difficult for him to understand why this must be painful for her...]
It's nothing all too noticeable. Only that you feel as if you've come in from the cold.
[As if to punctuate his point, he lifts his other hand and clasps it over hers, trying to transfer more warmth to her.]
You've likely figured that I don't know very much about-- ah, "male form"?
[He tilts his head. In the midst of everything, he almost missed that part.]
no subject
[ That does become a rather clear sign, doesn't it? Though, while she could soak in the warmth from his hands and everywhere else, that wasn't the kind that she was valuing the most right now. Briefly, Jisu thought of offsetting the feeling by saying he could try to warm her up even more, but kept it as a thought. Something that her reptile brain thought of, thanks to the season.
Making a confirming sound while nodding, Jisu ran her other hand over the one that clasped over her other. ]
I'm not sure if it's the same for your world, but there are some human experiences that are quite... frowned upon and discouraged for women. So I learned to change my form further; it takes even more energy and I can't maintain it for longer than half a day. Appearance and anatomy just seemed to matter for convenience.
[ There's a pause, softly clearing their throat. ]
I admit, my hesitation in offering that is more because I'd be afraid of hurting you. It's a bit much, you seemed very new to sex when we arrived, and I've never...
[ Been with a man that way, for all Jisu could easily imagine and desire it. Her husband coming apart so easily, maybe even multiple times? Even like this, she wanted to just push him down and ride until- She has to laugh to get her thoughts away from that. This season really was dangerous. ]
They really made this spring effective. I feel like there's a list of things I need to go over before I lose control, or something.
no subject
He briefly considers asking her more about this power. Could this be taught to a human? If so, could he learn it and take on another form with intact eyes?
However, that might be a bit selfish at the moment, as he notices some sort of discomfort within his wife.]
"Lose control"? [It takes a moment before the realization, and his face flushes pink again.] Ah.
[He clears his throat, giving her hand a slightly firmer squeeze. If no one's around... is it fine to suggest this place? As pleasant as the surroundings are, it's a far cry from the marital bed as far as comfort might go.]
Well, you wouldn't have needed to worry about that with me. I don't have anything... um, it can go inside.
[He might be lacking some information, only having used his hands with other men so far.
It's been the anal sex virgins leading the anal sex virgins.]no subject
Instead, it's his purity that's really brought into her focus. He really was something to be cherished. At the very least, she's seen some of the books that were drawn to learn how things could go between them. ]
Ah, there's a couple... One requires some work, though.
[ Jisu paused for a bit, looking at the rather secluded place they were able to get to. ]
I could demonstrate the other for my husband, here. It's something that could be done with anyone, no matter what they are.
no subject
Well, I defer to what my wife prefers to do. Though perhaps simply means you have more... ideas to choose from. And I suppose I haven't learned all very much since we last met.
[He lets out a light laugh at that, looking a bit embarrassed. Despite being surrounded by sex everywhere, he hadn't yet adjusted to the idea of actively seeking it out. Even if there is a prize involved and he knows of consequences...]
Is it really fine here? I can take you to my new room as quickly as I can.
[Though they would have to go back through the maze.]
no subject
[ With a deep breath in, with both the nose and mouth, Jisu could just taste the spring in the air. Enough to lean over to kiss the corner of Xiao Xingchen's mouth, then just below the ear and behind the jawline. ]
It's probably this time of year where I'd be least concerned about someone catching or watching. If you're not comfortable with it, though... We'd just have to get back through the maze again.
[ They were both types that would like to make the other happy. Having such consideration is what kept the line between instincts and actions enough in place to maintain control. Even if the desire and truth in what she said about losing control wasn't necessarily an exaggeration. The fuse could just be stretched out a little longer with a promise at the end of it. ]
Even if you haven't learned or experienced it before, if you ever want to try something or bring someone in, you could always let me know. This place both encourages and pushes us into trying new things with as many people as possible.
