【 Hello, dearest guests. We hope you have been enjoying your time in the Golden Peacock and utilizing our many amenities.
Reception would like all guests to be aware that some new arrivals have been misplaced. Due to the nature of the resort, new arrivals may have been misplaced in unexpected locations. This includes your personal suites. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.
Please do not be alarmed if you come across a misplaced new arrival. We kindly request that any guests that find a misplaced new arrival escort them to the main hub, where we have arranged a central meetup where all new arrivals can claim their complimentary robes and welcome baskets.
All guests are invited to come mingle at the main hub and meet new arrivals. As always, we hope you have a pleasant day! 】
DEALER'S CHOICE
STEVE, WHERE DID YOU PUT THE NEW ARRIVALS?
The Golden Peacock has swept away the hues of winter and welcomed vibrant pops of color for a change of pace. Gone are the snow whites and cool golds. Vases of bright florals have been staged all throughout the general hubs and hallways. Statues have been cheekily decorated with bright clothes, such as charming hats and billowing dresses with cheerful prints. This peacock has cleaned up nicely, its brilliant feathers shaking with a warm palette to please the senses.
Staff are bustling during the decor turnover. While some diligent employees are steadfastly decorating the hallways with sprawling vines and spectacular blooms, others are darting back and forth in search of something. Or rather — someone. Several someones. Front reception is in an outright panic while flying over the phones and furiously slamming their hands on keyboards.
"Steve, I know you're new, but you can't just press any button that pops up on the computer screen! The new arrivals are supposed to go into temporary suites." Deborah, the head receptionist, sighs, "Now who knows where they are. I hope they're okay... I'm sure they're quite confused, wherever they wound up. Steve, stop crying. The house won't fire you for this. Probably. How's your resume looking?"
In the end, Steve didn't get fired. But he did get reassigned to trash duty.
FLORAL RIOT
A STRIKE OF COLOR
【 🌸🌸🌸 Come experience new floral delights! Prepare to be ravished by a symphony of color and aroma. Romance, love, and pleasure all await within corridors of beauty. 🌸 🌸 🌸 】
Days before the grand unveiling, the gardeners of the Cloud Dwelling Garden distribute flyers announcing that their special floral exhibition is now ready for guests to enjoy. Long-standing guests vibrate in anticipation, eagerly stomping around the gardens until the ribbon is cut and the newest resort amenity has been revealed. The gardeners make a point to approach new guests and encourage them to join in on the fun, explaining that the house likes to create a new floral experience for guests every few years or so.
Exhibition opening is set for mid-month. On the 15th precisely, the gardeners line up in front of the white sheet hiding the project, each taking a turn to bow and say a few short words about how grand and generous the house is for giving them such rewarding jobs.
The curtains fall away to a wall of shockingly bright florals. Guests ooh and aahh at not only the array of shades but at the luxurious meld of so many different kinds of flowers. Wisteria and roses, lilies and carnations. Lilacs, peonies, daisies, daffodils, sunflowers. More and more and more and more. The staff explain that this flower maze is perhaps their most intricate piece of work yet and that there is grand surprise waiting at the heart. Additionally, as part of the festivities, several prizes have been hidden around the maze at dead-ends. Long-standing guests clap and cheer before charging inside.
The flower maze will only last as long as the most fleeting flowers do. The flower maze will remain open to the public for several weeks, after which it will close for further remodeling.
"We'll be open again with another complex arrangement," one of the gardeners explains cheerfully. "A maze isn't fun once you've learned the layout. We'll open again after creating a whole new design for guests to enjoy. Maybe even some new flowers, too. A lot of the ones on the lawn got funky after guests came all over them..."

SMOKY NECTAR
DRIBBLE OF SWEETNESS
The conservatory is even busier than the gardens. Unlike the easygoing staff in the garden, employees in the conservatory are busy zooming to and fro with brooms while trying to get a handle on the unexpectedly huge amount of pollen. From flowers, from trees — so much pollen. The ground is coated and the air is thick. Several long-standing guests visiting the area have fallen into sneezing fits. Even with cleaning efforts to mitigate the build-up, the pollen becomes thicker as the weeks go on. Staff eventually give up on trying to sweep it away.
This pollen is not standard. Guests that inhale this pollen will begin to feel feverish and strange. Continued exposure to this pollen will heighten a desire for sex to the point of all-encompassing need. Orgasms become much more intense. Nipples are constantly hard. Guests may also be overwhelmed with the urge to "fertilize or become fertilized" — to aggressively deliver or receive cumshots. Gardeners soon realize that normal pollen has been tainted by the cross-breeding of their new spectacular fruits, resulting in an extremely potent sex pollen that affects people and animals. This sex pollen is stronger than any of the current aphrodisiacs in the resort, baffling the gardeners. They weren't even trying to make horny fruit!
The effects of the sex pollen will ease after a few days unless exposure is continued. Guests with too much exposure to the sex pollen may find themselves passing out from violently intense successive orgasms. Any guests found unconscious post-orgasm will be delivered to the Broken Wing clinic for recovery.
The sex pollen will fade out within a few weeks, when the new breeds of fruit have all been harvested and delivered to restaurants. The gardeners collectively agree to be more careful when engineering new breeds in the future. "I do think," reports one worker in the conservatory, "the house will be impressed that we've managed to engineer an even stronger aphrodisiac. Great things happen on accident!"

PETAL-STAINED LIPS
A BLOOMING DISEASE
👩🦰 "Hack hack, hack hack... what do you mean, 'please cover my mouth when I cough'? I'm a rank nine. Nine! You can't tell me what to do. Now, clean up this mess. I've been coughing up flower petals all day." 👩🦰
Wet, smudged petals scatter across the floors of the Peacock. The source is initially unclear, since the perfectly groomed flowers in their decorative vases are in perfect condition. Soon the number of guests coughing into their fists begins to rise and more soggy plants plague the hallways.
After the garden and conservatory unveil their Spring additions the clinic will begin to over-run with guests complaining of various symptoms. There aren't enough beds and there certainly aren't enough doctors and nurses to meet rising demand. Guests continue to visit the clinic complaining of some sort of flower cold while spitting up petals and leaves. Advanced cases involve a deeper spread of vines through the patient's body.
Though this illness manifests in many different ways, the head doctor in charge is quick to clock that it's the Blooming Disease working its way through the resort's population. Not an especially dangerous disease. More troublesome than anything and a mess to clean up. Luckily, there are extensive notes in their files about this particular disease and how to treat it.
The height of the disease will hit toward the end of the month. Thanks to the hard work of the doctors and nurses in the clinic, cases will begin to decrease as the days pile on, with the majority of the affected guests treated and sent on their way by the beginning of May. Activity in the clinic will begin to decline as patients fuck it out and cure the disease, with only a handful of scattered cases heading past the first week of May.

We're the Lord and Lady of Bunnylandia! And you! [ His boop from earlier is finally returned. ] Are the cutest of us all!
[ With a wink, she cheerfully takes a bite of this new offering. Again, she jerks back in surprise, then follows it up with a big smile. This one's even better! ]
These are so neat! It's hard to describe them... [ She munches thoughtfully, then: ] I wonder if I can take a few to make a fruit salad?
[ Maybe she should ask some of the staff for guidance? Nahhhh. And so much for silly things like permission, because now she's tiptoeing around rabbits, hopping up to pluck fruits out of trees, using the front of her t-shirt as an impromptu sack. ]
Ahahaha! This is so fun! [ She darts back over to him, then nuzzles against one of his cheeks after chomping on more pearapple. The bunny on his shoulder is getting some nuzzling too, seeing as she didn't want to move it. ] Every day's the best with Lord Bunny~
[ Prepare yourself, Soundwave. Things are only going to go downhill from here. Public affection is merely the tip of the iceberg. ]
no subject
I am afraid you got that wrong. That would be you.
[She's the cutest of all in Bunnylandia! Not him! Never will!
Soundwave tilts his head at her reaction after chomping on the pearapple. Either Monika's overreacting, or the fruits really are that good to earn that sort of reaction. Either way, it must means all the fruits they grew here must be really good, then. Now he wonders how the fruits taste....? Alas, he's feeding a group of three, not including himself in there. They'll benefit more from the fruits than him. After all, the body is still a fake, at the end of the day.
A smile doesn't creep up on him, but his stoic expression softens up a little after seeing how happy Monika is now. And the nuzzling? As expected, such a public affection gets Soundwave's cheek to fluster red, but he finds it cute when Monika gives the bunnies on him some deserved nuzzling, too. And here he thought Monika hates the bunnies.]
So long as you are enjoying yourself, Monika. But do care not to fill up your stomach too much, I see more new fruits.
[That said, he'll hold any pearapple to her mouth if she wants to chomp on another. If only he knows. If only he knows he's contributing to things going downhill.]
no subject
[ Suddenly, all the fruits she'd gathered tumble down and scatter on the ground. New bunnies swarm them almost immediately, eagerly devouring their unexpected meal. Monika pays it no mind. Soundwave is becoming her sole focus, and that was made obvious by how she'd wrapped her arms around him and pulled him against her. She giggles, having another bite of the pearapple, cheeks flushed with excitement as she swallows it down. ]
...Because I've got a better meal right in front of me! So sweet and cute and scrumptious! In fact~ [ Because she can make it better! ] You're the most sweetest and most cutest and the most scrumptiousest!
[ Ignore her bastardizing a language that didn't deserve it. Maybe the sweetness counteracts the bastardization, though.
After shifting one rabbit to the top of his head, she nibbles on his ear and neck (or at least makes an attempt at nibbling on the latter). For someone that's already a noisy person, she's being exceedingly noisy, letting out quite the assortment of happy, giddy squeals. She can't help it! She's just! so! happy! And she wants! to do! all! the things!
One of those things she wants to do is carry him like he carries her when he's in his real body. One of her arms drops lower to hook under his knees, then there she goes, trying to lift him up to be the beautiful bride he was meant to be. ]
Come on~ I wanna show off my sweet Soundwave to everyone~
no subject
What she does next, though? Too much affection. Each words, even when she repeats them, gets him to fluster, cheeks getting brighter and brighter.]
Monika, calm down.
[Oh Primus, she's nibbling on his ear and neck, body shivering and Soundwve holding down the pleased noise that nearly escaped his throat. Please, she's so sweet. Oh, he's too weak to this much affection, fighting between wanting more and pulling the giddy Monika away. At least the only audience around them are mostly rabbits and probably a few other people either busy or enjoying.
No, no, no. That's still too many people! It has to be zero people for Monika to be this affection to him.]
What?
[Show him off? W-why? Before he could even protest the idea, Monika is already dropping down to... lift him up?]
Wait, Monika. Hold on-
[Can... Can she carry him? His avatar is tremendously lighter than his real body obviously, but does she has the strength to bridal carry an adult woman the same height and weight as her? Plus, there are still the small rabbits sitting on top him?
However, if she does manage to lift him up, the rabbits hop down onto the ground and Soundwave has enough self control to not make a sound but his face- so fully red as a tomato and looking panicked over the dumb thing she's about to do.]
Put me down, Monika.
no subject
If only she had the strength she needed for this endeavor. While she does keep fit, she's not exactly getting jacked in the gym every day. The moment she tries to lift him, a loud oof! whooshes out. His feet get maybe an inch off the ground before she drops him back down.
Hmm.
...Okay, new plan! The rabbits are definitely abandoning their perches, because Monika's going for hefting him over her shoulder next. This struggle doesn't seem to be bothering her, however. She's laughing like it's going out of style, louder yet whenever she hears him protest or reacts the way anyone being treated like a sack of potatoes would. ]
You'll be fine! I've got you! Ahahaha~
[ She, uh, probably doesn't have anything. But something being impossible has never stopped her before. He's getting thrown over her shoulder if it's the last thing she does! ]
Put on a smile, okay~? I want everyone to see you at your prettiest~
no subject
Whatever protest he's making at her new dumb plan gets drown out by her laughter. At this point, Soundwave is seeing something strange is going on. Monika being happy isn't too strange, but she's being so obnoxiously giddy and loud that there must be something in the air affecting her, this way.]
What is happening to you? We haven't done much and yet you are... enjoying yourself too much.
[She gets a light bonk at the back. That's for carrying him like he's some sack of potatoes!]
I do not smile for anyone. Put me down, Monika.
[Ok, maybe for Monika he does, but everyone else doesn't get to see this part of him!]
no subject
[ There's nothing weird going on in her eyes. She's having fun! She's happy! No amount of his grumpiness or fussiness is going to put a damper on that. Nor will her inability to walk very far now that she's got him on her shoulder. No one ever told her lifting someone was so hard...
No big deal! She giggles some more, though it's pretty jittery from how much her body's shaking from the effort to keep him on her shoulder. The struggle does nothing to keep her from giving his butt a playful spank to counter his bonk. Now they're both having fun! Have tons of fun with her, Soundwave! ]
Don't you want everyone to see how much you mean to me? Hmmmm~?
[ It'll be a slow journey. While she's moving, it's at a snail's pace. People are definitely paying attention, though! She cheerfully greets them, then adds on something quite suspect as much as she possibly can: ]
Meet my alien boyfriend! He's the bestest!
no subject
Soundwave grumbles as she struggles to carry him on her shoulder and move and continues to grumble some more, until she spanks him! He squeaks, cheeks flush brighter.]
Don't ever do that.
[He huffs.
Soundwave could've struggled his way out, but instead he resigns to his fate being carried by Monika, waiting until the natural consequences of carrying him comes to bite her in the butt. She's clearly struggling to hold him up, struggling to move faster than a crawling snail. Sooner rather than latter, she's going to drop. Till then, he'll just quietly being carried off and-- What did she say.]
Boyfriend? [Oh Primus, the flutter he's been ignoring is churning his stomach.]
no subject
This is why he gets another smack to the butt. The squeak was adorable! ]
Whaaaat~? Aren't you having fun, my sweet, grumpy boyfriend~? Isn't it nice to be the one carried for a change? I have to show my appreciation for all you do for me! All the kisses and cuddles! The hugs and, ahhh~ The making love! Because I lo--oof!
[ And there she goes! She yelps as her legs give out and they end up on the ground in a heap. Thankfully, no bunnies are harmed in the process, but one does come over and sniff at her hair. Of course, she giggles excessively at this.
Oh, yes! The thing she was going to say before they fell! There are a few readjustments made to their bodies, because it's very important for him to see her face as she says this. There's a fluttering of her own in her chest, apparent in all of her happy squirms and the never-ending smile. In this moment, there's no fear over her feelings. They're the truest, strongest ones she's ever felt, and she knows she's feeling them with the right person.
One of her hands comes up to hold his flushed cheek. Unlike the past, there's nothing that's going to make these words go unheard. No sudden sleepiness, no self-corrections or careful euphemisms. Though the source of her intense devotion is actually artificial this time, she's freely uttering the verboten phrase they've both been dancing around.
(This fruit is going to turn their already huge mess into a complete disaster.) ]
Because I love you!
[ And everyone nearby is going to know that! Hooray! ]
no subject
Stop that!
[Soundwave is a little too flustered to take notice of whatever's coming out of her mouth, still grumbling and groaning. Maybe he's even entertaining the thought of struggling and bonking Monika for all this sudden bullying. Alas, it seems that her legs has given up before he could do anything. There the go collapsing onto the grassy field, as predicted. Another rabbit decides to hop over at the commotion and sniffs Soundwave's hair, too, though he isn't as giggly as Monika.
Soundwave had fallen from greater heights before this and survive, so he isn't immediately checking himself for injury but he should be checking up on Monika. No bunnies are harmed, too, thankfully.
Before he could though, Monika cups at his cheek, the warmness of her palm has him automatically leans against her palm. The face she's giving him... The smile... Something about them feel intense, but he couldn't pinpoint why exactly that's the feeling she's giving off and why he couldn't take her eyes off her, despite the flush on his cheeks.
The answer for the former becomes immediately obvious when she utters three words to him. His eyes widen in surprise. Did she... Actually? Those words he's been unknowingly waiting to hear? Is this some sort of trick she's doing?
Soundwave clearly doesn't know how to react. His mouth gapes open, wanting to say something but his words are unable to leave his throat. And even when they do manage to leave, he jumbles his words.]
You love--? But, no-- You. We-- I- What...
[It is possible for his face to get redder than he already is? Because man, he is very red. He's stumbling all over himself, unable to make a sentence, or even a word. She shouldn't be looking at him like that. Not with that smile. Not with that face of devotion...]
no subject
Oh noooo. Did I make you short-circuit? Do I need to go to my room and hit your reset button? Ahahahaha!
[ No, no. That won't do! He needs reassurance of her feelings! She takes advantage of his frazzled state to push him down and be the one on top. Again, no bunnies are harmed in the process. They scrambled out of the way thanks to her sudden movements. ]
I lovelovelove you, Soundwave! You're the only mech for me, and you always will be! [ He gets another shower of kisses to his red face. ] Not even the Mariana Trench can compare to how deep my love is for you. Olympus Mons isn't high enough. Nothing in the universe can describe how I feel!
[ She gasps as an impulse whacks her like a sledgehammer. This is going to get even better! (Note: better means worse.) ]
In fact... [ Her body drops down as she pulls his arms above his head. It's not so much to pin him there, but more to hold his hands. ~Romance!~ ] Let's go to the casino. Right now!
[ Her next kiss is the softest yet, and the look she gives is so full of devotion, it's almost scary. ]
I wanted to marry you when I first saw you, didn't I? Let's do it. For real this time.
[ She breathes the next words as if the Player was there before her now: ] Will you marry me, Soundwave?
no subject
Alas, reality comes crashing, literally in this case as their lips meet. And reality is far tastier than dreams, as it turns out. It's not the first time they kissed. It's not even their first passionate kiss, but the intense emotions coming from both him and her makes for a fiery passionate kiss that feels like burning on his lips, lips and tongue playing along with Monika.
His frazzled state combined with the kiss that nearly puts him in a daze is a perfect recipe to have Soundwave's guard fully down. Which means that, unlike normal, Monika can easily push him down, toppling the iron wall.
He lets out a groan when he falls on his back, opening his eyes to see... Monika. His face is still a deep shade of red, but his eyes are wide open like dinner plate as he stares up at Monika straddling on him. Yet again, this is an amazing view with Monika being on top.
Soundwave doesn't even get a chance to even say anything when Monika starts to reassure her feelings to him, making him once again stumbling his words. Literally shortcircuiting his head. Her love for him is real. He could always sensed it from her, but he figures it's a platonic love. A friendly love. Or, that's how he wanted to see it. Her words right now is making the flutter in his stomach excited.
However, this level of devotion coming from her... It's scary. Something strange must be going on. Did she somehow sneak in an alcohol and drink it before they entered the conservatory?]
Right now? No, not right now.
[Scrap, this is going to be the worse case scenario. Nobody needs to know about the state of their relationship. Though her next soft kiss does softens his panic a little. It's too nice. Her love, that is. Then she strikes him at his core at the question.]
Yes. [N-no?] Monika, wait- You are going too fast. We should... Take it slow before we marry. Before we become Conjunx Endura.
[He's not ready to be a spouse! Ugh, Monika has put his mind in chaos. He should devise a plan of sort, to prevent something they'll probably regret!]
Let us... Continue with our- [This is so hard to say. It's clear on his face he's physically struggling to say the word. It's not like before in the treehouse where he wasn't thinking but managed to stop himself in time. This time, it's intentional.] Our d.... Date. Make a lot of love, first.
[That... That's normal?]
no subject
But that's not even the worst of it! He willingly and audibly used the word date. This is bad. These feelings are badbadbad. This is--
Good! Still good! This is the haphaphappiest moment of her life! ]
There's no such thing as too fast with true~ love~ Waiting is only going to delay the inevitable! [ She doesn't need weird fruit to say that. She'd say that on a normal day. ] But sure, we can continue our date. And we can make a lot of love...
[ After a parting kiss, she pushes herself up and stands, holding her hand out to help him up. And now, a new reason to freak out, because everyone in the vicinity with some idea of her kind of marriage traditions will know what's going on. Even if they don't, it's going to look weird for her to be doing this, but since when has any version of Monika known shame?
The moment he's on his feet, she drops down to one knee and...holds out a rabbit to him? ]
..only if you'll take my hand in marriage! [ She giggles excitedly. ] Pretend this bunny is your ring, okay~?
no subject
As Monika lifts him up to his feet, he mouths a silent thank you to her. Only to then be surprised by her sudden kneeling and.... offering a rabbit. For a few seconds, he just stares down at Monika then the rabbit- his ring -and then back to Monika]
I.... [Wouldn't this greatly change the course of their friendship? He should no. That's right, he should reject reject reject] I accept.
[Oh Primus, that's the opposite of what he meant to say! He's digging his own grave, here! Alas, while he isn't fruit-addled, he's still deeply in love with Monika to reject her advance. This is what he wanted. What he had been refusing to acknowledge since the flutter first appear in his stomach.
No no no. This is still pretend marriage! No real ring is involved!
But he accepts to take her hand. Lest he wants to upset Monika, which he doesn't ever, he can't back out of accepting her hand. So, he holds his hand out, ready to accept his "ring".]

Thank you, Soundwave. You've...made me the happiest girl in the universe.
[ Moments later, she's leapt up to give him the kiss to end all kisses, soft and intense at the same time, alternating between long presses of her lips and hungrily tasting his mouth and tongue. Carefully, though! Their rabbit-y treasure can't be harmed! Ringabbits are very valuable, you see.
When she's had her fill, she pulls back slightly, rubbing her forehead against his. Her smile's warm (and demented) as she looks into his eyes. ]
We'll stop by my room so I can get my dress. We can use a sheet to make you a tie, since we probably can't find a tuxedo your size so fast. [ Because the real him has to "kiss" his bride! ] Then we'll head to the casino and have the most beautiful wedding ever.
[ Never mind something like this is too disastrous to be anything like "beautiful", but everything's beautiful when you're crazy! ]
But first...what should we name your-- [ She has to pause to laugh. ] Your ring?
no subject
It doesn't help that when she gives him a kiss, whether it's soft, hungry, or alternating between the two, he kisses back, somehow being in tuned with her to return as much as she's giving. Clearly he enjoys this, even as he nuzzles his forehead against her lightly.
Beautiful wedding ever, she says.... honestly, he sees nothing but disaster in the future. He needs to delay that as much as possible, which means he'll have to distract her with a bunch of things they could do. He hopes there are more to do here in the conservatory than looking at fruit and plants.]
The... Wedding is an important event, is it not? Shouldn't we plan it out first. I do not want for it to go wrong and... Ruin the most beautiful and important event of our life.
[Please agree with him so that Monika can return to herself from whatever this is. Though when Monika brings attention to his ring, he looks down at the ringabbit. The task he's given to name his ring is... Something he's taking seriously. About half a minute has passed when a name comes up in mind.]
Stampy? ... Hm, perhaps not. I am... Not good with names. [His eyes shift up to Monika, expecting her to help brainstorm with him. Or they could stick with Stampy.]
no subject
She's begun to eagerly tug on his arm, trying to lead them back to the entrance. ]
Who knows if things will be available when we need them? Now is the time! Then, even if you leave again, we'll be...
[ Oh. That's a sad thought. Where'd that come from? She makes a face, then shrugs it off. Marriage! ]
Never mind that. I've dreamt of this for too long! I'm not going to wait anymore! Do you know how sad it is to only have your own thoughts to keep you company? [ Ack! Where are all these bad thoughts coming from! ] Er. What I mean to say is...
[ Suddenly, she realizes her wild impulses made her forget something. The ringabbit! She stops her tugging to peer down at the little fluffball. ]
Stampy... [ Her lips purse thoughtfully, then she smiles. ] Nope! Stampy it is! It's perfect! Because...
[ Gently, she lifts Stampy and rubs his? her? fuzzy face against Soundwave's cheek. They'll figure out the sex later. ]
Look at that. Stampy and Soundy, my two hunny bunnies ready to be loved forever~
no subject
However, when Monika brings up him potentially leaving again, it brings a slight frown on him. That frown deepens when she brings up her loneliness, too. He can't say he understands how sad it is to only hear your own thoughts- it's not a privilege given to him in life. However, he knows how dreadful it is to be alone.
His face is still a deep shade of red, but--]
Have faith in me, Monika.
[That's all he'll have to say to her. No matter if the resort makes him disappear, he'll always come back to her. So long as Monika keeps his faith strong, he'll show up again, if he ever leaves again. He promises Monika that he'll stay by her side. Even if there's an outside force preventing them from seeing each other for a lengthy amount time, he'll come back.
The cheerless atmosphere is shortlived when Monika remembers the ringabbit. Having Stampy's fuzzy cheek pressing against his helps to bring the mood up a little, and even if he's shy to show open affection to his loved ones, he gives their rabbit a little nuzzle.
Ah, and of course Monika gets some cheek nuzzling, as well.
With Stampy no longer in his hands, he gives Monika soft and gentle headpats, hoping it'll help to comfort her from all those bad thoughts entering her mind.]
Are you... We planning to keep Stampy, then?
no subject
The fruits's effects fight to remain in control. There's another string of giggles, then she settles Stampy onto Soundwave's shoulder. In no time at all, their new friend is getting comfortable. Being there beats fighting against the other swarm of rabbits, it seems. ]
Why wouldn't we keep them? We have to have a symbol of our union! This one just happens to be super adorable and not made of metal~
[ Not that she hasn't been trying to steal all the affection for herself again. She leans up into the headpats, as usual. They're helping her feel better. They're reminding her that she may lose this again. Marry him marry him marry him!
She backs away. Her mind's become jumbled, a million scattered thoughts racing in a million directions. The future bride is gearing up to become a runaway one. Her insane goal has to be the only way to fix this. ]
I'll give you two some time to get acquainted! While you do that, I can go get my dress on, and whenever you're ready, you can meet me at the altar! Maybe I'll even get the ceremony started, so by the time you get there, you just have to say "I do" and we're done! Y-Yeah!
[ Off she goes! Not as quickly as she'd like, though. She's not trying to hurt any rabbits, even if it'd be more efficient to toss them out of the way. Tempting... ]
no subject
Otherwise.... Wouldn't she be hurt greatly when he disappears? It's difficult not to dwell on the negatives.
At least, if there's anything he could be relieved about is... Knowing that Monika feels the same way as he does to her. Perhaps it's always been obvious that Monika loves him, but thanks to her confession, she actually saves him from the embarrassment of having to spill his own feelings out, which.... he might still have to at some point. Simply agreeing to a marriage doesn't contained all he feels about her...
Honestly, where did Monika even get her confidence and energy from... Wasn't she avoiding the obvious the same as he does? He stares at Stampy for a good second.]
She's a silly girl, isn't she...
[Stampy clucks in response. Is it in agreement? Disagreement? Who knows, he doesn't speak rabbit, but it gets Soundwave to chuckle. Oh well, he'll take the alone time to get acquainted with their new pet ringabbit and prepare for what possible disaster will come from this shotgun wedding. She wanted him to be in his real body there, too....
Speaking of... Right, his real body is still in her suite, deactivated. Is she going to "dressed up" his deactivated body? Maybe he can- no .... He can't because he has Stampy with him, and he doesn't want to leave the critter alone. Well, guess he isn't transferring his consciousness to his real body then. He'll just stick around with Stampy for a little while longer, then he'll go to the alter to.... meet his bride, as his mech self. For now, he's just going to let Stampy cuddle him. So soft....]
no subject
Nooooo. No no no no noooooooo. She's said so many disturbing, friendship-shattering things that are weighing on her heavier than the leaden wad of anxiety in her gut. Love? Marriage? Conjunction Endurance?! None of that can happen! Even if she felt some...some things for Soundwave, they were never supposed to leak out! Because--
Nononono! The Player.
What if they've seen this? What if word gets out? She grips her head, panicking more. If she actually went through with this, everything she'd worked for would be done. Her life would be over. All she would have left is...
She glances over her shoulder. Maybe she won't go back to her room again. She can find someone to stay with indefinitely, then Soundwave will eventually leave, and she can sneak back inside and never come out again! By doing that, she'll prove her devotion to the Player, and all will be forgiven! Yes, this is perfect! It's bound to work! Once again, her galaxy brain ideas save the day! She just has to move!
Any minute now. She's going.
She's leaving!
Yep. Totally gone. Never to be seen again! ]
Ughhhh! Come on, feet! Just move! You'll be saving the both of you tons of trouble!
[ Her bad habit of talking to herself strikes again! Not that he can hear it from this far, of course, especially with the din from the rabbits crunching on vegetables. She's not worried about any other guests hearing, either. It's not like her reputation for being weird can get any worse!
She whimpers, holding her head once more. Why can't she have a little normalcy for a change? ]
Come on...just leave him already...
no subject
Oh, is she still around? He thought that she'd run to her room by now. Is something stopping her? Whatever it is, he urges himself to go see her and maybe convince her to call off this whole marriage thing. While he... does have feelings for her, he's not ready for such a commitment. Ah, and of course, he brings Stampy along in his arms.
He's able to wade through the sea of rabbits faster than Monika did. Silent footsteps brings him closer to the entrance, and thought he's a fair bit distance away that any normal person wouldn't be able to hear her whimpering. This is Soundwave, a mech with sensitive hearing, he hears her just fine and just in time to hear Monika say: "Just leave him already..."]
Monika...?
[He stops in his track, eyes wide and a little hurt cracking through in his expression. After everything she said to him mere moments ago? He must be misunderstanding something, right?]
no subject
She rearranges her own expression into something more neutral, bordering on positive, thanks to a small smile. It's not because she thinks he's heard her troubling words, because she has no idea how long he's been behind her. (Totally his fault for being a ninja!) Instead, it's more because she's trying not to let off how much turmoil is banging around in her skull. That might not be any better, though. ]
Yeah?
[ Hmm. How can she seem less suspicious? ]
Sorry! Just taking a break. All the bunnies slowed me down so much! [ With a grin, she leans forward playfully. ] I hope you're ready for a lot of fun~ We're going to have the best wedding night later~
[ No need to say it'll be imaginary, since she's going to do her best to be invisible for the foreseeable future, as a normal person does when faced with a situation like this. ]
no subject
The resort separating them is nothing they could about. But if it's Monika instead who wants him to leave.... He pulls his mask back up to hide the hurt threatening to spill through his expression, visor materializing his watery eyes.
At least he has enough self control to not let any emotions out, tone entirely neutral.]
About that.
[He awkwardly shuffles in place, hugging Stampy closer, leaning his weight on one foot at then the enough. It's clear for her to see he's still discomforted by her words he caught.]
I think it is best that we do not get married tonight, or anytime soon, truthfully. I feel... You are going too fast. I... apologize, but I may need time to think first.
[About marriage. About her confession.]
no subject
O-Oh.
[ Disappointment becomes clear on her face, and in the way her shoulders droop. She should be thrilled to hear this! It's what she wanted! But... ]
You don't want me?
[ Her mind's warped what he's said into a rejection. The stinging in her chest grows into a steady burn. Indeed, she's back to normal, enough that she's having her typical reaction to being told she's unwanted by someone she cares about. Swallowing hard, she glances down at Stampy, then up at his face with a narrowed gaze. ]
You accepted. You said you'd marry me. Why would you say that if you didn't want to?
