【 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. 】

▷ 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.

[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?! ]

[Soundwave doesn't comment on her taking advantage of her rank, but he does make a mental note. Rank sure does make a difference with the treatment around here, huh. While he might just let Monika get away with it all, others who are around rank or higher would probably pissed him off if he saw them walking passed the queue like she did.

It's not something he'll chastise her, so she's not getting any criticisms whatsoever for taking advantage of her status. At least she wasn't being an asshole about it, so that's maybe a plus? And besides, this is the first time he's seen her using her rank that way, too. It makes him wonder..... If the resort ever accepts him as a permanent guest, just what rank would they give him?

Oh well, answer for later, perhaps. Right now, Soundwave makes himself comfortable on the floor, Not the best seating place but who would've expected to accommodate a being of his size and weight, he might grumble but he won't lay any blames on the staff for this. He won't wait for Monika's order to arrive on the table, before he starts pouring Energon down into his port. Bright pink-purple, much like the color of his blood. Notably isn't as thick as his blood, but she might see fizzy bubbles in his "drink".]

It's called a "port". Not an arm-mouth.

[Geez, she couldn't have used less weirder words to describe! He has an actual mouth behind the faceplate though, but she doesn't need to know. Nobody needs to know that information. As of right now, this 'blank' face is his proper face. That aside, he answers the question while he empties up the flask.]

It isn't sensitive. And not while I am pouring Energon.

[It's dangerous! .... But he'll give into her harmless request eventually. Taking a napkin out of his subspace storage (as in it literally just appears in his hand), Soundwave wipes the funnel to clean off any leftover Energon on the plastic funnel and the napkin disappears in a flicker of purple light. After ensuring there's no Energon leftover on the funnel, he extends his arm out towards her.]

I doubt it's interesting to look at.

[ Urge to continue calling it the arm-mouth rising...

She'll be good. She doesn't want to ruin the peace for once, because she's not going to lose out on the gift she's being given. Her drink's brought over as she watches him fill his arm-stomach, and she cheerfully thanks the employee, adding in a tip through her Watch. Sure, she abused her rank, but as he's noted, she's nice about it.

With a little hum, she drinks down today's sugar bomb, doing a little dance once the sweetness hits her tongue. ]

Okay, then, your "port". It could be a proboscis, too...

[ At least it's not arm-mouth? She compared him to a moth before, anyway. It's fine to use that term! She does make a grumbly little noise around her straw when he veers towards dadbot territory again, however. She said she wouldn't drink it! She won't touch the Energon, even if the bubbles make it super tempting to!

He does shock the annoyance away quickly, however, by pulling a Houdini on her. Since when can he do magic tricks?! Actually, no. Not questioning it. He's done weirder things. What's a magic napkin? ]

Hmm... [ With genuine interest, she leans forward and peers into his port. ] So I could pour some of my drink in here and share with you, right?

[ She won't! She vaguely remembers him saying that'd be bad back when they were drinking buddies of a different kind. Besides, it'd be rude. Who would want something randomly poured down their arm-mouth? ]

Ahaha, just kidding! Don't blow a gasket. [ Setting her drink down, she leans forward further, poking at his port with one finger. ] Oh, that's a little weird...

[ She feels like she's poking at a bone in someone's arm that's been ripped open. Neat! She glances up at his face after a few more exploratory touches. ]

Why wouldn't I think this is interesting? It's fun learning about you. I bet if you could poke around inside of my body, you'd find it neat, too!

[ If only that wouldn't kill the Monika. ]

But, um. Is this, you know. What comes out of you? When we...do things?

[ She's attempting to be prim about those "things" since they're in public now. (For once.) But it'd be fun to know if she's been cheating the system and guzzling Energon already. Take that, dadbot! ]

[He'd rather she calls it a port!

Good thing she said it's a joke, otherwise he might just remind her that he probably still can't and won't drink these sugar bombs with his real body. Maybe there are some drink out here his tank can probably digest, but Soundwave isn't the reckless type.

What if he can't digest some of the drinks here? He's not going to do something that may potentially give him a stomachache at best, or probably something worse.

Now he said he isn't sensitive to touch, it's true for the funnel, but when her finger pokes at the port. A shiver runs down his whole body, but he tries not to show it.]

Wouldn't that kill you? Besides, that is.... Gross.

[He's not so morbid he wants to see and poke what's inside his friend and thinks it's neat! Keep all that gross things inside!

The question afterward gets a slight pause from Soundwave.]

Ah.... Yes. It did not seem there were any harmful or negative effects when we... Do things. Or you drinking it...

[If you don't count rearranging organs and bulging her stomach mildly as negatives, then sure. Energon is his fuel. It is his blood as well as it is sustenance. It's no surprise that his gunk is Energon with the only difference is the thick consistency.

Soundwave hums in thought now that he realizes she has drank Energon before. He could explain the avatar's blood not being actual Energon, but coming from that part between his legs...?

Does Energon entering his body and coming out as... Well, that thick gunk made it safe to consume? Or, is there something strange in the hotel that made so that fluid to not be harmful to organics.

Now if she's hoping that this realization ks what will have Soundwave change his stance, she'll have another thing coming...]

I still would not recommend you drink Energon in liquid form, except from....

[Well, she knows where from. He doesn't need to spell it out to her given she brought up the topic first!]

[ Good luck hiding those shivers in that giant body. If she were dealing with his avatar, he'd probably get away with it. Why does he keep tempting her like this? It'd be so fun to see if she could get him shivering harder. If only she hadn't agreed to be gentle with giving him affection in public!

Woe is her. It sucks so, so much, only being a friend. ]

I'm not gross! [ He gets one last poke before she goes back to her drink, giggling. ] You're gross!

[ Okay, it's gross, and she does enjoy living. Besides, blood's hard to clean up, and human blood doesn't look nearly as pretty once it's dried up. He's got that going for him!

She won't say anything about his realization. Not verbally, anyway. That smug smirk as she sips is speaking volumes. Just like the volumes of Enerjizz that come out of his--

Ahem. Being good! ]

It's not my fault you taste so yummy. [ Sipsipsip. ] It's a good thing your Energon stuff isn't coffee-flavored, because then I'd never let you out of my sight~

[ Curiosity gets the better of her, though, so she pauses her sipping to see how he'll react if she voices some things that are likely to set the dadbot off. It's that darn "being truthful" thing she's trying to do more of. ]

It's probably for the best that you're not made of coffee, though. Your blood does make me feel a little sick after a while. Your spike juice, not so much. But I can handle it!

[ So no cutting her off from her sexy sweet treats, thank you! ]

I'm already feeling that you'll never let me out of your sight.

[Not without a good reason. Seriously, it feels like he's only ever been attached to her and goes wherever she goes. Maybe it's him that would never let her out of his sight.

Anyway, he's not going to voice that and goes back to refueling.

It's a good thing he hasn't start pouring Energon in the second flask when she makes the remark about his spike juice. Because that nearly gets some chocked noises from his vents, and if he had opened the flask bottle, Energon'll spill everywhere.

His head whips to her, and she can probably just imagine the lineface he's giving her.]

Monika... You've been wanting to get to my spike, don't you...

[Ever since this morning! She'll get her lovemaking, but now now!]

We have... Small creatures to meet.

[Again, he's not against the idea, but they have things to do...]

Someone has to keep an eye on you, you know~

[ As if he's going to get up to trouble. He could kick trouble in the face, then pound it to a pulp a hundred times over. That's kind of hot, if she stops to think about it. Imagine what he could do if someone around here tried to escalate past calling her crazy and got violent? Or maybe she doesn't have to wait for things to get that far. There are plenty of people who've upset her enough that a tiny stomp or two wouldn't be so bad for them...

She blinks at his stare, wide-eyed and innocent as ever, daintily sucking on her straw. That's another innocent thing, by the way. The straw-sucking is not suggestive. It's keeping her from laughing, at least. ]

What~? I dunno what you're talking about!

[ Her hand wandered down to his crotch on its own earlier! And clearly, he wanted it! She had to stop for his benefit, and not because she was hungry. ]

They have places we can do things before going to meet those small creatures, or we can see the small creatures later today. Just saying!

[ She's going to wear him down! He's going to give in! Spike her like a volleyball!!! ]

You speak as if I would cause trouble...

[Between the two of them, Monika's likely to cause trouble. Hmph! That said, yeah.... he's likely to pound trouble away, but Soundwave has long since rejected his violent past and strives to be better. He may not be up to stomping people nowadays, but he can still threaten that and he's there to defend his friend if called.

Now back to Monika's trying to make him give in....

Stop tempting him! He's stubborn enough to still argue for seeing bunnies, but not so stubborn that he wouldn't want to get up to things with Monika, either. But it's for her own benefit that he doesn't start fucking her right away in the morning! Primus knows how long she'll passed out for!

Whether it's intentional or not, seeing her sucking on her straw is suggestive and has him remembering how she tried to suck on his spike.

That memory is pooling heat inside him. It's a good thing his spike wouldn't just spring out of him, no matter how hot and bothered she's making him, unless she starts touching his crotch again.

He can find his boner.]

You know you will likely have difficulties walking after we are done. Do you want me to carry you everywhere?

[.... That last idea doesn't sound too bad, actually. And that kinda implies he wanted to be inside again, even though that isn't something that was brought up at all. Curious!

His vents huff hot air as Soundwave starts pouring Energon into his arm.]

We are still seeing those small creatures. We can do things after the visit.

Edited 2024-06-05 05:13 (UTC)

You would! I'm the only reason the resort's safe from you and your mischief!

[ Mostly because she would seriously harm anyone that touched him or looked at him or thought a single thought about him. A little murder never hurt anyone, especially if it's for very intense love-like!

Does he want her to tempt him more, then? Yeah? Okay, no problem! It's sooo weird that her straw keeps slipping free of her mouth and she has to get it back inside with her tongue. Over and over. Remember how that felt on his spike? Not that she's trying to evoke such a memory or anything. ]

I trust you. As long as you follow the "picking Monika up" rules, I'd love to be in your arms all the time! [ There's another attempt to tongue her straw, then: ] But if you're so worried about a little bit of pain, there are these virtual reality pods I've heard of...

[ Just throwing that out there for no reason. ]

We could do things in a forest full of small creatures, just for you! And it's not like we'd have to stop as much because you're such a worrywart~

[ For effect, she pulls the straw deeper into her mouth while locking her eyes on his visor. Is she trying to get him to spill his Energon for giggles? Yeah, probably. ]

[Yeah, sure. Him and his mischief. That's definitely what he's known for. Definitely not a bot who prefers to stay away from people and any spotlights. What a troublemaker.

Internal snarking aside, he should turn his head away from Monika. But he couldn't. He's watching her intently as she plays with her straw, clearly pretending to slip out of her mouth so much. Ugh, this brat... Now he knows for sure she's doing this intentionally.

And the worse part is that it's working. Merely watching her has him recall how her mouth and tongue felt on him, the incredible pleasure he got from her. Slowly, he's imagining his big spike replacing that tiny straw.]

What virtual reality pods...?

[He hasn't heard anything about that. Just curious for the of curiosity, that's all. He's certainly not getting hot and bothered and wanting to unlock the panel locks in his crotch.

After a moment of deliberation, right around after he finishes up his second flask of Energon, he gives up. With a huff, he finally turns his head away like the petulant tsundere that he is.]

Fine. You get your... Sweet treats, Monika.

[In the end, Monika's allure wins out his stubbornness.]
