【 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 LOBBY ▷ A 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 LAWN ▷ Guests 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 GAMES ▷ All 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. 】

LEVEL ONE

▷ 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 DISEASE ▷ A 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 DECK ▷ Without 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

▶ 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.

You wanted to sleep with me first?

[ She takes no blame! He suggested this! She's absolved of her sins she did not commit! And yes, the poke war has recommenced. His faceplate's going to be covered in her fingerprints at this point, on top of all the smudges from that kissing she did earlier.

...Wait. Is he trying to deny her double cuddles? No, not allowed! ]

Don't fix the bed yet! [ Now she huffs. ] I'm getting all the cuddles I want before you go and ruin it.

[ Just like her poor couch, the bed's still usable. Probably? It was already pretty plush, but some parts of the frame are poking through in weird ways. Also, it's leaning steeply on the side where his real body's been lying. What a predicament...

Oh, well. Doesn't matter, had cuddles! And she will continue to have cuddles! Or pokes, it seems, which just makes her giggle all over again. ]

You never know what's going to leak out! Things have a way of getting around here, unfortunately. If I say this happened because of cuddling, people will just think I'm weirder!

[ As if she's making it difficult for people to think that... ]

I'll seem way cooler if I say a giant mech rocked my world and broke my bed. Like, don't worry! I'll keep things anonymous. [ Because there's definitely more than one giant mech in the resort. ] And it's not like you haven't done it to me before~

[ Hint hint. She would like that again. ]

[Yeah, he suggested this, and Monika accepted it! She should've had the cooler head and prevented him from climbing on the bed!]

Fine.

[He'll stay on plush but maybe ruined bed for her. Cuddling, it is. The poking stops and both forms hugs Monika, the avatar around her neck and the mech around her waist. His heads lean in to press on both sides of Monika's head. Now, they can get a little comfortable despite this little predicament.

.... He doesn't think keeping things anonymous would help not identify him in this case. How many other giant mechs are there in this resort other than him? None that's what! Still... Honestly, if he had to choose between the bed breaking because of cuddling or bed breaking sex, he might just choose the latter. Both are embarrassing, but one moreso than the other.

But before he could even say a single word about that, he gives her yet another dead-eyed look. At least he isn't sputtering anymore when she brings up that topic or say something shameless.]

No, we certainly have. It wouldn't be a lie to say that you have.... experience. Speaking of, I won't be giving you any of that experience today.

[He gets the subtle hint, there. Okay, he would like the same again. And he thinks he's said as much to her earlier. However, he would still like to go on their friend date tomorrow instead of seeing Monika incapacitated in bed because of their wild sex! Time may potentially be limited for him, but he's confident he'll last for at least a couple more days, here.

A sigh from his avatar as he makes himself comfortable hugging Monika.]

I suppose in this debauched resort, it might seem.... cooler.

[ Bossing someone around and getting everything she wants, plus cuddles as the perfect cherry on top? This is the life! With the amount of comfort she's getting from all angles, she's finding it difficult to keep to her plans of staying awake with the questionable drinks the resort can supply. She's so secure and comfortable, even on the remains of her bed. And after a bit of wiggling, everything's just right. She'll rest her eyes for a few minutes or so as a reward. ]

Jerk. You know I can handle it. [ She swallows down a yawn so he won't try to call it out. ] It's not like we can break the bed any more than it already is!

[ ...Probably? Maybe if she were on top this time, things would stay tame. He'll just have to excuse himself to the bathroom when it's time to unleash his load, because she is not ruining her entire bedroom! At least he could aim everything into the bathtub. And...probably clog the drain, but that's easier to fix than a whole room!

There's another attempt at stifling a yawn, but she's not as successful this time. Add that to the list of things that are his fault. Who told him to be so comfortable? ]

'Sides. Can't be that much of a "debauched" resort if it has you in it to drop the coolness levels.

[ This yawn escapes completely, but she doesn't seem to mind it at this point. Her head turns so her cheek's resting against his faceplate. ]

That's why I'm here. [ Her laughter's a bit distant as she starts drifting off. ] Gonna...make sure you're the coolest. Coolwave...

[ Aaaand she's out. ]

[Well, he can't deny that the bed likely wouldn't break any more than it is if they make love right now, but again he's firm on nor giving her that today.

Don't get him wrong. He loves making love with Monika. That one experience is still an incredible and unbelievable memory, but he's seen the aftermath of their lovemaking. It's best they scheduled for that sort of thing so Monika could be out for a day or two to recover. Of course, that assumes if they do it the same way as before where he was on top.

And besides, he doesn't want her be addicted to his spike. Primus, she had really enjoyed his cock back at that night. There is need for moderation, here.

Before he could make any more argument though, Monika falls to slumber. Huh.... And she hasn't even eaten anything yet. Silky girl. He gently pokes at her cheek with his smaller hand.]

I know you can handle it. But you'll have sore legs even if I pulled out, idiot.

[Not that Monika can hear him since she's passed out sleeping. Oh well. She looks so peaceful sleeping, though. Ah, why can't she always be like this, nice and quiet and not a brat.

He's getting tired, too, surprisingly enough. Maybe being around Monika is exhausting. Ina good way, mind.]

Good night, my Monika. [A languid kiss to both her cheeks, then he shuts down. He'll keep the avatar running so she'll be warm on all sides. It'll be a waste of energy, but he'll just refuel at the clinic tomorrow morning.]

[ Her lips pucker up into a pout while she's sleeping. Did she hear that "idiot"? Probably not. But it's still rude! There's nothing wrong with wanting to do things that might cause irreparable harm! #yolo!!!!!

Some part of her knows he's right, though. She'll never say it out loud or anything, but she absolutely knows she has to be careful with this second chance at life she's been given. How dumb would it be if she made it this far only to die doing something stupid? Anything's better than video game hell, but wouldn't it be nice to have as much time as possible in real life heaven?

Her dreams are quite pleasant, at least, and she's not the squirmy little thing she typically is when she sleeps. For one, she's comfortable. For two, it's not as if she can move. That might be frightening otherwise when she's stuck during her least favorite time of the day, but his presence has a way of calming her, even when she's unconscious. The same happens when she stirs awake the next morning.

Her momentary fear of him disappearing has no chance of waking with her, having his bodies around him to immediately calm her. She lets out a soft noise of relief when she feels him there. Each of his foreheads get tiny kisses (well, the equivalent of his mech forehead?), then she smiles while admiring them both. She even takes some time to carefully snap a few pictures of their sleeping forms with her Watch. It's probably no shock, however, that she eventually focuses more on the giant bed-breaker side of this perfect sandwich, taking the most pictures of him.

She suppresses a giggle. Even asleep, or whatever he'd call it, he looks like a grump. Is he going to wake up and make grumpy grumbles and fill the whole room with grumpy energy? Probably. But it's okay. That's what she likes about him. It keeps her on her toes, just so she's always the best brat she can be.

One hand comes up to lightly poke around his darkened visor. Sometimes, she wonders if she's been imagining him having eyes under there. Wouldn't it be nice to actually stare into those for once? Especially if she can fully see something like a grumpy glare from him the moment he wakes up. Maybe there's a hidden button she can press to get it open...

Yes, she's woken up and chosen mischief, sneakily prodding around near his visor for a coveted partial face reveal. It's sweet mischief, so it's fine! If he says anything when he wakes up, she'll say she found that part of his head really interesting. Plus, she had to wipe away some smudges from her kisses the previous night. Can't have his metal getting too dirty!

Let her see! She's earned this! ]

[Another peaceful night has passed. He doesn't dream often, and if he does, it'll normally be a nightmare more than anything pleasant. Not tonight. Tonight, he has quite the pleasant night, though he does look a less peaceful than when he was sleeping back at the flower field. Evident on the avatar's slightly frowny, grumpy face.

Best of all is that he has Monika sleeping with him. With what he has lost before arriving in this resort, he would've thought he'll be waking up to nobody by his side anymore, but... whether it'll be fate, coincidence, or a gift from above, he's secured knowing that he has a beloved friend by his side.

There's just the slightest of movement when she first touches his helm with her lips, then a soft sigh leaving his vents. He must've felt that in his dream. Though he doesn't seem to feel much at all when she's touching his darkened visor. It does at least lead to the believe that the visor is simply an accessory instead of it being his singular eye.

Soundwave's the type to stir awake at the slightest of sound, on account of his sensitive hearing and being alert all day. Especially touches that are so close to his head? He would be waking up. However, he's not in alert at all times lately, and... he's still sleeping.

It's probably a testament on how safe and secure he feels sleeping with Monika if he's not immediately stirring awake from the touches to his face. Unfortunately for Monika, there doesn't seem to a button on his head at all. No automatic removal of the visor or faceplate. However, she may get the sense that it is removable instead of it being something that's part of his face. Unfortunately, it'll require a strong hand than Monika's to remove it, as it is securely locked in place.

That said, all the touching does eventually stir Soundwave awake.

It's not exactly what she wanted, but, for a few precious seconds, she might see some sort of glow behind the darkened visor, vague shapes that resemble eyes before the visor comes back online and hides them behind the bright red glow. He stares at Monika for a moment, and if she still has her hand on him...]

What.... Are you doing?

[Look at that, he's waking up grumpy.]

[ The hand's definitely still on him. She's frozen, though. Oops. Busted...

But not entirely busted! She values her ability to put on an act. She can make people believe anything, since she's such a great actress. In other words, she's, you know. A filthy liar. It's all a part of her charm. ♥ ]

Morning, sleepyhead~ [ Her fingers rub somewhere above his visor, as if she's been focusing her "cleaning" efforts up there. ] Sorry, I think I kissed you so much last night, I made some parts your pretty metal super dull!

[ At least she's learned some valuable information through her mischief. There is something under that visor. Who knew she'd wake up and find herself with a new goal to deviously work towards?

This "explanation" of hers probably won't be enough on its own, so alas. She must throw in being a brat to distract him. On the bright(?) side, she'll be sweet about it, just to make cutting through all the grump more effective. ]

Or maybe I wanted to make sure you were awake for your good morning kisses~

[ The love doctor has decreed his faceplate needs lots of kisses! Enjoy about twenty of them, as his prescription requires, soft and gentle. Unless he stops her, anyway. She has faith, however, that he won't. She'll tame the grump, as she always does! ]

Really.

[Can you hear the disbelief in his voice? It's a bit difficult to lie to an empath, but Soundwave still doesn't know what exactly is the lie, here. Even if there is truth to her kissing him so much that it dulls the shine on his faceplate's metal, he knows that isn't the entire truth.

But alas, her distraction strategy works. Whatever lie she's trying to hide, it's probably just something benign with her. Even if it's some stupid prank she's cooking up, he won't ever assume she has malicious intent, and the kisses... They are as good and pleasing as ever.

As she's hoped, he doesn't stop the kisses. Twenty might've been excessive, but who is he to complain about excessive when he kissed her for so long that she was entirely out of breath. So, really, another thing Monika can get away for free.

During the kisses, he'll recall his avatar. Sandwich over, he's preserving what fuel he has left for a small trip to the clinic. Right after they're done with whatever they needed to do in the room, he very, veeery gently grasps her shoulder and pulls her into a big embrace, encouraging more of her good morning kisses to her heart's content, if she so wishes.

Once the good morning kisses are over, he asks.]

What would you like to do now?

[He wont' get up straight away, waiting for Monika to do so before him. In the meantime, one of his metal fingers traces over her back, drawing shapes.]

[ Lalalala, she heard nothing resembling disbelief! She's telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth! But no worries, it seems. Her tactics work, just as she knew they would. She's just that good, and he didn't suspect a thing. All as according to plan!

It wasn't a terrible plan, anyway. Kissing him is becoming one of her most favorite things, no matter if she's tasting his avatar's lips or the tang of his metal. And while she's lost the extra warmth of his avatar, she's got the warmth she loves--LIKES the most. Tons of it, really, because with him pulling her closer to his larger self, it's like she lost nothing at all.

Is she dreaming again? She fell into the trap of kissing him endlessly, almost to the point she forgot what her intentions were. The idea of staying in bed, broken as said bed was, is beginning to float back into her mind. ]

I could kiss you for the rest of the day, maybe? I don't have to get cleaned up, since I did that when we got back yesterday. So... [ A kiss. ] Maybe I'll just...

[ As she goes in for another kiss, her stomach wins the award for best comedic timing ever and rumbles loudly. Ahh, right. She'd forgotten about that pesky thing called hunger, didn't she? If only her human fuel tank was as efficient as his mech one!

...He probably didn't hear the noise. She clears her throat to cover up any continued pleas for her body to be fed. ]

We'll kiss all day, and maybe make lots of love in between~? Especially if, ahaha... [ One of her hands trails below, seeking the area his amazing spike is lurking under. ] I get a kiss from another part of you?

[ Think with the lower head, Soundwave! Forget the higher one! Use your dick's auxiliary power! ]

[Kiss all day? Weren't they planning to do things today? Not that they couldn't kiss in between their wandering around the resort- Primus knows they're bound to have their lips together- or in this case, lips to steel faceplate -sooner than later.

He's about to remind her of their plans until he heard the rumbling from her stomach. Right, he may not know why her stomach made such a disgusting sound, but he can take a guess that it's a plea for her to fill her stomach. If his avatar is still around, he'll be giving Monika his trademark dead-eyed stare. Actually, his real body is giving off that energy, too.

Dumb girl, she should eat! There's still that meal she left on the table!

But Monika's seduction is working to distract him. Whole lots of kissing and love, huh. The idea is tempting, but she should be taking care of herself first! At least eat before fully focusing on him!

A kiss from another part of him? O-oh.... His body twitches at the moment of contact. Not that he minds it also, but he's already said that her legs will be sore if they made love in that manner... Oh, right. She fell asleep when he said that.

While his head is having doubts, it's clear what his body wants. The little twitch at the area where she touched him. How one leg parts slightly to encourage that hand to go under his crotch. How he's pressing towards her hand.

The body doesn't lie. But she may have to clear his doubts aware before he fully succumbed to her hands once again.]

You should get something to eat first.

[He's not saying no.]

We have all day. Shouldn't we go outside the room?

[He's not saying no.]

[ Dammit. He heard her stomach. Or is this just him being him? He'd been so insistent about it last night, too, the fussy dadbot he is. Ughhhh! Maybe she needs to teach him that humans can ignore eating! The consequences aren't so bad. Everyone can handle some dizziness and discomfort and low energy!

Oh. He's receptive. That excites her. Shut up, stomach! She's got a mech to fuck! ]

I can eat later! It's not like I'll die if I don't eat right away. [ That receptiveness below is only making her bolder. He wants this! He hasn't said no, not once! ] And...I have my favorite meal right here in front of me.

[ It's not like being without a meal for over...how long has it been since she last ate? Who knows. Probably not important. The point is, she needs only romance and love-making to feed her. Her fingers dance over the plate keeping his spike covered and WOULD HER STOMACH SHUT UP!!!

Her eyes briefly press closed. Dammit... ]

But. Maybe I'll...have a cookie first.

[ She is determined to make that a meal! ]

Stop saying those things.

[She's making his faceplate blush blue again. Gosh, favorite meal right in front of her. What, is she trying to make him love---- like her more? Whatever mood she's trying to get into obviously isn't working with her growling stomach interrupting her.

That just intensifies the hard lineface he's making behind the mask.]

.... Go eat a cookie.

[See? He's not fussing over her.... meal choice, and didn't call her an idiot. That's improvement, surely.]

[ She may have to satiate her hunger, but nothing can truly satiate her need to annoy the hell out of him. Her giggles flutter against his neck before she plants a kiss there. ]

Make me, Mister Yummy~

[ ...Hmm. Not one of her best. She does need something to eat. Sighing, she wriggles herself free of his hold, then moves to get off the bed. There's a thumping noise followed by a loud squeak when she's forcibly reminded that there's no longer a high drop down to the floor for her to worry about. He saw nothing! She's back on her feet and walking normally!

Soon enough, she finds the picnic basket from yesterday, making a face while poking through it. Whoopsie, a lot of the things in it probably should've been refrigerated. The cookies are still fine, though, so she munches on a few. There, hunger satisfied!

Her stomach growls more.

She grumbles in a way that he probably would, and she finds herself wandering out of her room and to the tray of food she got last night. It's probably fine? Veggies are usually kept at room temperature, so...

He'll probably need to come check on her. Hunger's winning, and she's eating wilted vegetables to quiet it. But hey! She's eating! Dadbot got his way! See what happens when he's not a jerk about it? ]

[...........

She's so embarrassing.

Also, "Mister Yummy"? Yeah, not one of her best. It doesn't even get much of a reaction from Soundwave, aside from utter confusion.

Anyway, he pushes himself up to sit upright, but doesn't move from his spot, waiting for Monika.... Waiting... Waiting....

He can hear her eating, but she sure is taking her time eating a cookie, huh. Eventually, he'll get up and comes check on her. Ducking down to enter the dining room, Soundwave tilts his head at her upon seeing her eating last night's meal. Those... leaves? Greens? Things on her plate look wilted. He doesn't know anything about organic food, but seeing that she's eating them no problem, it's probably safe?]

Ran out of cookies?

[Oh, of course he's going to give her a little bit of snark in the morning. Soundwave leans his back against the wall, arms folded, legs crossed. So casual.]

[ Her munching pauses, then she glares at him over her shoulder while a baby carrot pokes out of her mouth. She didn't ask for her vegetables to be seasoned with snark! ]

Shut up! I'm trying to keep from wasting food!

[ Which is to say, she was really dang hungry. She gives a pout before turning back to her food. The trail mix is fine, at least, and the peanut butter helped cover up how wilted the celery was. The parfait remains untouched. She's not that brave.

After snatching up the bag of trail mix, she stomps her way over to him, swallowing down the carrot so she can properly snark back. He shouldn't be allowed to look so...cool! He gets a cashew thrown at his faceplate. ]

You should be happy! Now you can't say anything about me needing to eat! Because I've eaten!

[ She pauses to eat some of the dried fruit she keeps picking out of the bag. Ahh, so good... ]

No more lovemaking for you. [ For emphasis, she pokes his spike area thing, since it's out in the open and unprotected. Congrats, it's officially now the "spike area thing". ] I think I'll make you pet bunnies instead!

[ How...awful...? ]

[It's so amusing to see Monika gets all petulant whenever he gets to snark back at her.

Really, she threw that... whatever that small thing is. How are there so many different food for human? It's confusing...

Anyway, there's no expression to read on his face, but there's a huff of satisfied amusement out of breath. Yup, he's happy that Monika has finally eaten. But he then tilts his head to the side when she... threatens him to not do lovemaking and pet bunnies instead?]

So what we originally planned?

[Like... Sure? He would like to make love to her again, but 1) it wasn't him who tried to rile his own spike up 2) he was the one who wanted to steer her away from that because they have plans today that almost didn't happened because someone here wants to worked him up! So... works for him, really. Lovemaking can come later.]

Not "we"! [ She pokes again. Apparently poking has become their main form of communication. ] It was all you! You planned everything!

[ Because she asked him to do that... ]

And now I have no choice but to do it, because otherwise, you'll be totally grumpy, and that's bad!

[ Seriously... ]

I'm going to get ready. [ Huff! ] And don't go touching your junk while I'm doing it. You're not ruining my stuff with your alien spike jizz!

[ Seriously......

Triumphant, she tosses more fruit into her mouth, then lifts her chin and strolls back into her room. Shockingly, it doesn't take her much time to get ready after that bout of dumb. Part of it is not having to wash her mounds of hair, but also...well, she's excited, okay? He doesn't need to know that!

(Mostly, she doesn't want to be around when housekeeping comes in and sees the broken bed. That's an awkward conversation she's not ready for.)

She's nibbling on another cookie when she wanders out to him, surprisingly not in a dress today. It's a comfy tee and leggings sort of day. If they're going to be getting down and dirty with a bunch of animals, a dress might make that a tad bit difficult. ]

Well? Were you a good bot~?

[ No matter what he got up to in her absence, she'll ask that. It'll probably annoy him, and it's what he deserves. ]

[Alas, basking in his victory over annoying her was short-lived. And now it's Monika's to turn things around and annoy him back.]

I do not--

[Primus, this dumb girl......... Really knows how to grind his gear with the weird assumption that he'll even do something as uncouth as that. With a huff, he stays leaning against the wall while he waits for her. At least he doesn't need to get ready like Monika have to. Most he'll have to do is take a napkin and wipe off what drool she left on his faceplate from all the kissing and probably from her sleeping against him.

At the question, there is no verbal answer, but she'll receive a poke to her forehead. He does take a look at her outfit for today. It's certainly different than what clothes she typically wears.

He huffs.]

We're stopping by Broken Wing first. I need to refuel. Last night depleted most of my fuel.

[Because he wanted to keep Monika warm and comfortable. See how nice and thoughtful he is, keeping Monika warm in that sandwich at the expense of his own energy.]

Edited 2024-06-04 04:54 (UTC)

[ Ah, of course. The poke of doom. She huffs back, carefully rubbing at her forehead under her bangs. Now that her hair's properly done up, she's not going to destroy her hard work. ]

What happened to one whole week, huh? Not very fuel-efficient, are you~?

[ As if she's one to talk. Good thing she's not the focus, though! After finishing up her sweet treat, she brushes crumbs off her fingers then reaches out to take his hand. ]

Fiiine. And...I guess I can get them to do a better job of patching me up while I'm there. It'd be nice to not have all this gauze poking out from under my shirt.

[ Her depravity needs to be hidden from the world, thank you very much!

She whips around, her ponytail smacking against his leg from the speed she does so, then she tugs him along and out of her room. He very obviously requested that she take control of the situation since he's running on fumes. For shame, having to get tugged around the resort by this tiny little human!

...If he doesn't get annoyed and throw her over his shoulder at some point, anyway. It's what she deserves. ]

So... [ Oh boy, there's that devious energy again. ] Can I feed you?

[ Let her touch the forbidden thing! ]

I haven't refuel for days, and I used up too much yesterday for you.

[Hmph!!! Despite being all huffy at Monika, he does accept her taking his hand, very gently wrap his fingers around her hand, squeezing very, very lightly.

...........

Whatever nice feeling he's getting from the hand holding immediately lowers when her ponytail smacks his leg. It doesn't hurt, obviously, but it sure does the job of irritating him. She'll get a light, gentle knock on the head for that. Hmph!

That said, he does let the tiny little human tugged him around, so he quietly follows her for now, until she annoyed him enough. The question earns his head tilting down to her.]

................ No.

[Deal with it.]

I do not want you drinking Energon. [Yeah, he's going to assume she's gonna do something as dumb as that. If not....] I am certain that it'll melt your insides if you try to consume.

[Again, he's assuming she'll do something stupid if she has her hands on it. Her fault for showing him how she's dangerously lacking in any self-preservation!]

[ Her eyes narrow at him. ] I feel like you're trying to blame that entirely on me. Jerk. [ But then, she quietly follows up with: ] Thank you.

[ It's sunk in that it probably took a lot of work to keep the avatar going all night, since he's hinted at that being a strain on him sometimes. How sweet of him...

The appreciation dries up when he talks to her like she's a toddler trying to break open a bottle of pills. Huffing, she pulls her hand away, stomping ahead. He can walk on his own if he wants to bonk her like a toddler, too! ]

I don't want to eat it, you asshole! [ Oooh, his insult's been upgraded again! ] I wanted to learn more about you! It's not like I know much. Maybe if I helped a little with the process, I could learn something!

[ And maybe she wanted to find another place on him that'd be annoying to poke at, but that's not important! She wanted to be nice. Too bad; all ruined! Now he gets to watch her walking away. Bye!

...She also flips him off over her shoulder. The resort's corrupting her, and it's not code that's getting messed up. Blame the people she's been hanging around. ]

[Ah, there she goes. Walking away. Sometimes he wonders why he put up with her, but he has enough self-awareness that maybe his snark can get a little too into asshole-ish territory. And this is one moment where it's warranted.

Also, geez. Who taught her such an uncouth gesture.

With a huff, he follows after her. With how much longer his legs are to her, he could easily catch up to her from behind. With the silence hanging in the air above them, it does give Soundwave some time to ruminate. The more he thinks, the more he's feeling bad about what assumption he made towards her, and knowing that she wanted to learn more about him, it does touched him a little deep inside. With another huff...]

Perhaps what I've said was unwarranted. I apologize.

[There. She managed to make him feel bad all on his own. Though, honestly, if he knew that she's also doing this just so she'd find a place to annoy him, he probably wouldn't try to placate Monika.]

[ She grumbles once he catches up. Go figure, it barely took him any work to do that. But...that's to be expected. Stupid giant mech with his stupid giant legs that she stupidly likes so much...

Soon enough, they're nearly to the clinic. Her arms have been crossed out of petulance for most of their quiet journey, but it's easy enough to tell she's not entirely upset. Just a bit disappointed. ]

You don't have to apologize. [ Pause. ] Well, no. I like that. You should do that more often.

[ What? As if she's going to turn down something so rare! ]

Just...let me learn a few things? Pretty please?

[ They've arrived. Ever so polite, she gestures for him to enter first. ]

I'd like to know more about my best friend. That's all.

[ "Best friend", huh? Another upgrade! A mild one, since she can't use a stronger word and all. ]

[Wow, now he's not going to apologize so easily and often next time! Okay, he probably will. He's humble than He could probably say something about her wanting him to apologize more often, but he's not going to give her another snarking when they finally arrived at their destination.

Knowing that it's a genuine desire to learn about him, it just makes him feel even more terrible about the comments he made earlier. But he swallows it down. Monika seems to accept his apology, and that's all that matters. Best friend, though? That... Definitely fits their mildly friendly relationship. Right, mildly and friendly. He not only struggle to use a stronger word to describe this, but he's still refusing to acknowledge it.]

I am... fine with that.

[Before he enters the clinic first, he extends a hand out towards Monika to take.

Either way, he meets up with the receptionists and gives them only two words. "Energon". "Fizzy". And seems like they know what he wanted and quickly excuses themselves. The clinic seems awfully busy today, but Soundwave pays no mind to the surrounding whatsoever.

He needs his sustenance, and it looks like they procure his needs rather quickly. Nice, quick service! The nurse comes back to him with what appear to be three bottle flasks. After taking them off their hands, Soundwave gives them an appreciative nod and leads Monika out of the clinic. One of his forearms' metal slides open to reveal a port hidden underneath, exposing the grey and black wires and exoskeleton underneath.

Then, mechanisms whirring, the metal inside starts to move and turn, the port extends out, and and out comes what appears to be some sort of funnel poking out of his arm. (~~Left side of the img. mun's too lazy to crop~~). Letting go her arm, he's about to pop open one of the big flask, only to pause and looks down at Monika.]

We should find somewhere to sit first. Perhaps a cafe?

[He knows she already ate a meal, but it would be nice to share a drink with a friend.]

[ The rest of her irritation fades away, and she gives him a smile as she takes a hand. ]

Good, you jerk. But at least you're a sweet one.

[ In they go! Not being one who visits the clinic often, she doesn't take note of how busy it is for different reasons. Maybe all the flowers have caused a spate of allergies? Who knows. She focuses instead on watching and listening curiously as he makes his request. What'll it look like, this Energon stuff? She'll have to find out in a bit, because she has her own task to complete.

It's rare that she actively uses her rank to her advantage, but she does it today, not wanting to take away from the time she has with her sweet jerk. She works her way past most of the queue and gets some of the same nice, quick service for all the wrong reasons. Before long, her wound's patched up properly, and there's hardly a sign of her insanity visible when she's back at his side.

And--oh. That's something. She blinks rapidly at the sneak peek behind the curtain he gives her of his arm's inner workings. If she'd seen the movie, she'd probably be cracking Terminator jokes by now. As it is, she's fighting the urge to comment that this is giving her strong Soylent vibes, because imagine your main form of sustenance being so same-y! Then again, maybe Energon comes in fun flavors for some variety. ]

Sure~ I wouldn't mind a little pick-me-up! [ The caffeine withdrawal headache would suck if she didn't get her daily coffee in her, anyway. ] Off to Birdbucks~

[ Which doesn't take long at all to find a location of, considering how much she frequents them. Again, she throws her rank around, just so she can get her drink order brought out to her table instead of having to wait for it at the counter. Time is precious! If only she could've found mech-sized seats, though. She chose some seating outside to give him plenty of room on the floor, at least? ]

Question! How does it feel when you do that? You know, when you let your arm-mouth out. Is it sensitive? [ Then, after the barest amount of hesitation: ] Can I touch it?

[ It's as close to a mouth as she can get right now, okay?! ]
