【 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.

Players will be prompted to select an option without knowing what the corresponding task is. The task will be sent to their Watch after they have selected an option. To see what your character is lucky enough to receive as their task, simply click the dropdown!

▷ 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.

[ she's already settling into position when his arms clamp snugly around her thighs and he begins to right himself. her weight gets jostled just a bit as she's lifted but she holds onto his head for balance. she doesn't really care about what he's saying too much considering she's already seated on his shoulders and he's giving her exactly what she intended regardless of his noisy complaints. ]

Do you wanna get outta here fucking laid or not???

[ she raises one arm up to shield her eyes from the glare of the sun and squints, glancing one way and then the other. ]

.........Hey- [ she starts lightly patting his head without looking where her hand is going.... which means she's gently slapping him in the face. ] I think I see the way out! [ the pitch of her voice rises a little in her excitement and her weight shifts forward as she leans over his head a little more. ] It's this way! [ she points.... her thighs squeezing his head gently. giddy up? ]
belialedge: because i can't read (that sign can't stop me)

LET'S FATE/GRAND ORDEEEEEEEEEER

[personal profile] belialedge 2024-04-29 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
NOT LIKE THIS!!

[ The fact that what he just bemoaned about could be taken both ways is not lost on him. But at this stage, he doesn't care anymore. She's one extra bratty response away from being dropped like they were performing a pro wrestling move. Think they call this one the electric chair drop. ]

I'm gonna bite suck those goddamn fingers if you don't— [ slap slap slap get angry get angry get 💢 ] —cut that out!

[ "It's this way!" Followed by squeezing her thighs around his head. ...he's too pissed to even think about how soft they feel when she's not tensing them up. But with an aggravated sigh, Ragna...abides. Because like it or not, she can finally see just over the hedges. Now whether or not she wants out or takes them farther in towards the centre? That's going to be her call as she demonstrates her Riding rank. ]

Goddammit, okay! Let's just get this over with!

[ In which Ragna proceeds to start walking. ]
moedred: (oh wow)

[personal profile] moedred 2024-04-29 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ her Riding skill allows her to tame all manner of beasts, Ragna the Bloodedge included. ]

Huh, everything looks so different from up here... [ is this what it's like not to be vertically challenged? Mordred rests her arms on top of his fluffy bed of hair- he's probably going to need to fix it once they're through. for now, though, it makes a nice comfy resting place... at least she stopped hitting him in the face?

instead, her little legs swing gently where they're left dangling off his shoulders, lightly thump thump thump-ing him in his big bara chest with the backs of her heels. not the sharp pointy kind, thankfully, she's just got whatever pair of sneakers she managed to salvage from a welcome basket. not necessarily hers, but, details...
] It's kinda nice bein' tall felt up.

[ ..... close enough. ]
belialedge: (lost but found)

[personal profile] belialedge 2024-05-02 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ Taming the Black Beast would certainly be a first... ]

No shit. [ He has no idea what this girl's deal was, despite getting the vibe that she could be significantly more dangerous than her appearance would have one think. But judging by her reaction to this, her little legs swinging and gently thudding against his chest in a non-irritable fashion, he eases up just a slight bit on his aggressiveness as he glances up to catch her in his peripheral view. ] You never ridden on somebody's shoulders before?

[ In the meantime, ignoring what she just said as he keeps a surprisingly gentle yet firm hold on her thighs so she won't accidentally topple back or forth, Ragna follows her lead as they traverse through roses, tulips, even a multicoloured pathway of forget-me-nots that used to be so much harder to find up here... ]
moedred: (judging u)

[personal profile] moedred 2024-05-02 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, the curse actually let him say shoulders instead of cock- ]

No? When would I have done that? [ ... oh, right. most people probably experience this sort of thing as children, huh? being carried around by an older sibling or a parent... her legs stop swinging. Mordred's expression darkens somewhat and she turns her head to avoid his gaze, pointedly staring at the flowers as if she found them at all interesting... and then suddenly, she actually does.

some of the more prominent flowers in this section are small and blue with a pop of gold and they remind her of someone specific...
]

...What kind of flowers are those?
belialedge: (no turning back)

[personal profile] belialedge 2024-05-03 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ The curse is like hiccups now. They don't know when they're gonna hit them. And just when you think they're gone... 💦 ]

Nnnever mind, then. [ A beat. Not everyone got to experience this in their childhood, he imagines. As he reflects on what he just said, he realizes how reckless that question was in the first place. Not that Ragna was actively trying to glean into her life or show empathy, but that thought causes him to rear back nonetheless. The question does get her to stop swinging her legs and thumping against his chest, something that earns the knight a glance up from between her legs as he catches the shift in her expression.

Thought as much... But he doesn't say a thing about it, nonetheless. It's Mordred's piqued curiosity at the flowers that also brings his mismatched hues forward and on the section of flowers. Flowers that...hold significance to him in kind, actually. They come in multiple colours. But for these blue and gold-popped blossoms in particular? ]


Didn't take you for an aspiring botanist. [ Okay. One more relaxed taunt of his own, as if he was almost forgetting she's on his shoulders as he comes to a stop for now. ] They're called Forget-Me-Nots.
moedred: (4u)

[personal profile] moedred 2024-05-03 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Tch- Hell no. I'm a swordsman not a bowman. [ that's totally what a "bow-tanist" is, right? super random assumption but okay weirdo. maybe it's cause her arms are low-key jacked?

aaanyway... Mordred hasn't ever cared much for flowers, she never really got the hype. she'd seen the other knights of the round gift roses to ladies they favored as a token of their affection during her time in Camelot. not that any of them maintained a life suited for romance but that didn't keep a few of them from trying... mainly Gawaiin her whore of a big brother. thinking of him her chest puffs with a hint of laughter. what an idiot.

she never actually spent much time around flowers herself, unless she was patrolling the royal garden, but even then she wasn't particularly preoccupied with the variety of blossoms that decorated the grounds. she'd always been focused on other things... though now that she's forced taking time to appreciate them, she guesses they're pretty enough to look at- not unlike most women in that way...? maybe that's why so many girls fawn over them??? she honestly can't be too sure and she really doesn't care enough to delve any deeper than that. she's just glad the flowers aren't making her want to fuck someone's brains out, which apparently could very well have been a real possibility in this place....

... Weird name. [ forget-me-nots... as if she could ever manage to forget the person that came to mind. though, maybe that's the irony of it? ]

No, a botanist. You even paying attention up there??

[ The subtle puff in her chest as she laughs isn't lost on him either. Did they remind her of something too? His gaze, usually so narrowed and hard holds traces of a softer curiosity to them. Still, he manages to bite his tongue. Something told him this girl wasn't about to spill the beans on these retraces of memory lane. He doesn't know her well enough to even consider prying in the first place. Ragna, meanwhile, takes a step closer to the wall of blossoms, still keeping Mordred secure on his shoulders as he reaches out to gently flirt the back of his fingers along tiny petals. ]

Yeah, but ironically enough, you don't get forget 'em if they're part of your life one way or another.

How am I supposed to know what the fuck that is? [ Mordred grumbles under her breath softly as he inches closer to the hedge to reach out and touch the flowers. after watching him a moment, purely out of curiosity Mordred does the same, leaning down a bit to extend one arm out and lightly skim her fingertips across the nearest row of petals.

huh, soft...

You some kinda flower specialist? [ botanist, Mordred, jfc. ]

[ As Mordred does that, Ragna's hands on her thighs roam down, along the backs of her legs on impulse in a bid to keep her supported while she leans down. ]

No. I just got to learn a lot about plants when I was younger. What was good to eat, what to avoid, what can be used for medicine...

[ she's listening to his words... but absentmindedly her attention starts to drift and her pulse begins to quicken as the warmth of his fingers slips from her thighs to skim the sensitive underside of her knees and drift further down the slender curve of her deceptively dainty yet surprisingly muscular calves. even though it's outside the material of her track pants it's still a strange feeling for Mordred, who isn't used to being touched or handled quite like this. Ragna's hands are so big they could probably wrap fully around her ankles- or maybe it's just that she's abnormally tiny and his hands are actually normal? it's difficult to tell, especially when she doesn't have much to compare it to.

she pointedly ignores the strange feeling in her gut, forcing herself to arrive at the most likely conclusion: that he'd shifted his grip to keep better hold of her at that particular angle. having had her fill of the flowers the small blonde urges herself to sit back upright, faint traces of heat still lingering in her cheeks.
]

That's uh... [ she clears her throat. ] Must be pretty useful. [ Ragna knows a lot about plants, has big hands, and he can reach the top shelf. noted. ] ... H-Hey, I think, the curse might be gone? [ neither of them have said anything sexual in a minute... so why does she feel so nervous all of a sudden? ]

[ For a man who spent so many years of his life keeping others at arms' length until it was time to let violence do the talking, Ragna's...actually done a remarkable job in adapting. By all accounts he should have never known what this kind of feeling was like for as long as he had left to live. Even then, the way he handles Mordred on top of his shoulders (a miracle he's putting up with this to begin with), is surprisingly gentle for just how harsh of a mouth he has. That doesn't mean he can't register how her legs feel beneath his larger touch. One wouldn't have guessed it by just looking at her, but there's some serious definition beneath what he imagines is a soft looking surface. Whilst she was contending with a particular pang in her stomach at being easily handled like this, Ragna is doing his best to ensure she keeps safe on his shoulders.

The less anybody brings attention to his actions, the better. He won't have to become Tsunderagna get snippy out of thin air. The moment he draws back once he can feel her righting herself, his mismatched hues drift up from between her legs, back to securely hooking her thighs as he catches the subtle traces of red in her cheeks. ...That's a new look on her. Flustering cheeks, blonde hair and vivid emerald eyes... ]


...

[ "... H-Hey, I think, the curse might be gone?" ]

Huh? [ ...come to think of it, she's only been mouthing off at him for the past couple minutes non-sexually now. ] Hey, you're right... Think it's some kinda proximity thing to that stupid chest? [ A beat. ] No...prolly just some shit that's worn off.

[ Great. Now they can threaten each other with a good time for real. ]
moedred: (gross)

[ look normally she wouldn't think anything of it- actually, if this were at all normal she wouldn't be straddling his shoulders with his head between her thighs in the first place. but knowing what this place is all about, she's been a little more on edge about trying to keep herself on alert mode to avoid any... unwanted advances. she's already had to deck a few fuckers in the face for trying to roll up on her when she was just trying to go about her business.

putting aside their sext-to-speak debacle from earlier, Ragna doesn't seem like the type to try and pull one over on her. so weirdly enough, he's shaping up to be one of the more semi-trustworthy seeming people she's encountered during her stay so far- which, honestly isn't that many. of course, she's still new so maybe further down the road that will change... even if her standards are pretty high.

at least for right now it seems likely they can band together long enough to find their way out of this stupid maze sooner rather than later. hopefully without anymore sexual innuendos.

I'm guessin' shit like that happens a lot here?

About as often as you need to breath, it feels like. Do yourself a favour and be careful of what you eat around here. More often than not, it's like flipping a coin whether you'll get drugged or not.

[ At this stage, it's...best not to mince his words. Sorry, Mordred. Tough as you sound, even he's succumbed under the pressure. But at least the two of them can get a move-on now, trusting in her to continue to point him in a general direction towards the front entrance of the Cloud Dwelling Gardens. If there are treasure chests? This time, he's keen on ignoring them. Knowing their luck, it was bound to be some sex toy or book neither of them were interested in.

...He can only assume she wasn't interested in them. ]

[ NOT THE FOOD!?!? ]

Damn, is nothin' sacred around here???

[ that's honestly the most upsetting thing he's said this entire time... and he said a lot of fucked up shit to her. while visibly annoyed, she at least seems to be taking his warning to heart and begins second guessing everything she's eaten since arriving...

any treasure chests get glared at in passing, even going so far as to stick her tongue out at some of them. piss off stupid cursed treasure we don't fuck w/u OR your bottomless supply of sex gadgets!! ┌П┐(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)

though now that she's thinking about food she realizes she's pretty damn hungry... enough for her stomach to start growling.

Pretty damn much.

[ Better that she be warned ahead of time rather than having it all get snuck up on her in such an ugly fashion. ...Granted, if all the toys and the explicit curse 'treasure' chest was any indicator, Ragna can tell that she's already preparing herself for the worst of it all. If nothing else, he holds stock in himself being...well. Okay. He's a "bad guy" back home, but at least human decency isn't dead with him if he's given a chance to goddamn show it. ]

...?

[ Yeah there was. No mistaking that kind of growl. Tao's stomach rumbles in a similar fashion. And when it does, he's the one that's prone to footing the bill.

Speaking of which, with a heaved sigh and a droop of his shoulders slightly: ]


You hungry?
