TDM 04

[goldmods]

【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made on our brand new beachfront for new guests. We will endeavor to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience. Affected guests may convene with the nearest lifeguard or reception for a complimentary swimsuit, at their earliest convenience.

Please remember that beach-appropriate attire is mandatory. Guests found breaking dress code may be escorted off the beach until they return in proper swimwear. We hope you enjoy your stay, and have a beachy keen experience. 】

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY

A BRAND NEW DEVELOPMENT

As the resort moves into what it claims is summer, the days grow longer. The sun is projected well into the evening, the heat of its warmth dialed up to a level some guests complain is unreasonable. Then there’s the most excessive transformation of all – half the Cloud Dwelling Gardens have been transformed into a sparkling beach of white sands and blue waves, seemingly overnight. Statues nearby have been dressed up with wide hats and stylish sarongs. Upbeat music fills the air without any discernible source.

A section of the beach has been reserved for a collection of bungalows. These cute pastel homes open straight onto the sand, and are comparable in size and amenity to a rank 7 or 8 suite. All screens within these bungalows are fixed to a channel that airs reruns of Boobwatch around the clock, a classic TV series about blue-footed boobys running in slow-motion across the beach. Staff and long-standing guests all agree — there’s no better summer programming than this!

IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE

▷ Thanks to a classic move called “overbooking,” new arrivals are being checked in to all this wondrous new property that’s just opened up. The catch? Why, characters are stuffed up to 4 in a room, of course. Don’t worry, that’s what the bunk beds are for!

▷ Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are a light and breezy linen, patterned with tropical flowers and colorful designs. Some of these robes are more sheer than others. Watch out that the gentle breeze on the beach doesn’t reveal more than you wanted.

▷ Existing characters are welcome to temporarily take up residence in any empty slots in these homes. The staff understand that sometimes you want to pretend to be a brand new guest again, all bright-eyed and ready for adventure. They can even lock you out of your real room for an extra bit of authenticity. No need to ask! It’s all taken care of already.

THOSE WHO POUND SAND

▷ Several lifeguards have been newly hired to protect the beach and its visitors. These burly fellows and lasses all have three things in common: skimpy swimwear, rippling muscles, and seagull heads. They spend most of their time hanging out in groups, flexing and gossiping loudly. If characters approach them for their complimentary swimwear, they will provide whatever they’re currently wearing for them to use... by force, if necessary.

▷ Characters who seem particularly vulnerable or are holding something particularly tasty may find themselves surrounded by these lifeguards out of nowhere. The seagulls are relentless, pushing and shoving and pulling hair until they get what they want. Hope you didn’t like your sand castle very much. Those on the lower end of the rank scale will suffer the worst harassment, and they may even go out of their way to harass wildcards, 2s, and 3s just for the heck of it.

▷ Being new hires and fairly low on the resort staff hierarchy, these troublemakers can be easily chased off by someone of a high enough rank, or an assertive enough presence to pass as one. T-they’re not scared! They just remembered they have a mandatory group cawing session to get to! Buzz off!

FUN IN THE SUN

DON'T FORGET TO OIL UP

What’s a beach without fun and games? Dreadfully boring! That’s why all of the beach classics have been expertly set up by staff, including strip volleyball nets, giant boob-shaped beach balls, and plenty of floaties for use in the shallower areas of the temporary ocean. A row of parasols with paired lounge chairs underneath them are placed in some prime viewing areas for festivities. Any time you get thirsty, there’s always a cooler full of canned drinks conveniently nearby, courtesy of Cock-a-Doodle-Doo’s. Sometimes you can hear the staff whispering to each other, “What if it’s too perfect? We won’t be able to deal with the ratings dip once the beach ends!”

Seashells have been arbitrarily scattered along the shoreline, coming in both natural shapes and ones a little more... erotic. The sexiest ones of all are conch shells that let you hear the moans of another guest when held up to your ear; supposedly, if you hook up with the person on the other end of the shell, you’ll be extra lucky in the casino for the rest of the summer. All in all, it’s a carefully tailored creation that can be called nothing short of paradise.

THE BEACH BUNNY BARBECUE BONANZA

▷ This booth constantly has smoke billowing out the top and is manned during the entire day by one man – Steve, formerly from reception. It seems this is his punishment duty for be-bathrooming all of the arrivals, last time. Those willing to lend Steve a sympathetic ear will be entreated to bring him water, since the sweltering heat of the booth dries him out like nobody’s business. No matter how characters try to help him, though, a tragedy always occurs and the water always ends up spilled across the sand. That curse really is something, huh?

▷ The signature item at this cookout are the Flamin’ Hop Skewers. Made due to the current overpopulation in the Conservatory, these spicy-sweet — emphasis on the spicy — glazed skewers temporarily grant those who consume them the soul of a rabbit, including their insatiable desire to mate. Any rabbits that resort-goers have formed an attachment with have not been culled, so don’t worry about your precious buns!

▷ The booth also boasts several other exotic meats and vegetables that are considerably safer to eat, for guests who find themselves unable to overcome their attachment. Some of these skewers also feature fruits, including the hybrid ones from the previous gardening collab with the Dizzy Pigeon. Characters are free to revisit any of the Orchard prompts under the Smoky Nectar section of our PREVIOUS TDM.

A SHOW OF STRENGTH

▷ When the projected sun is at its highest, staff members will start bringing out tarps and watermelons, fresh from the gardens. What’s that, you ask? Oh, of course these were donated willingly! What a strange question!

▷ The goal is to smash the watermelon the staff give you until the succulent red fruit inside is splattered all across the tarp, perfect for falling comically into or... eating, if you’re into that. The rules are that you must use your buttocks to do so, and you only get two tries. Successfully cracking open the watermelon on the first try will earn characters a large payout, and if it’s on the second try, a medium payout.

▷ Failing to bust a watermelon at all won’t have any penalties associated with it, and you can always try again tomorrow! In order to keep their watermelon supplies steady for the duration of the beach festivities, the staff do ask that guests attempt this no more than once per day.

DAYDREAM PARASOLS

▷ Every umbrella set up on the sands has two lounge chairs set up underneath it, with a shared table between them. The chairs are padded and oh-so-comfy — sitting in them for too long while another person is present will result in both characters falling into a deep sleep.

▷ While asleep, characters will discover they’re sharing a dream with their umbrella-mate. The dream is always set on the same beach as the waking world, but there are floating clouds and sparkles in a range of pastel colors. Other beachgoers are faceless, if not entirely absent. It’s just the two of you.

▷ Anything the characters think of can drift in and out of the dreamscape, including but not limited to items from home, scary monsters to dramatically rescue your partner from, and strange abilities to fly or float through the air. However, characters will also be at full suit activation in the dream. Once both characters orgasm or they naturally wake up from their naps, they’ll find things are entirely back to normal, as much as they ever are in the resort.

NOTES

▶ All new arrivals have been issued four food and four clothing vouchers. These vouchers are as good as money around the resort. The staff will strongly insist on characters picking out "summery" attire with it, though.

▶ Existing characters may be booted into the bungalows or locked out of their room against their will. We leave it up to player discretion if this happens and the degree to which they're removed from their normal suite.

▶ For the Daydream Parasols, wildcards may be afflicted by whichever suit their player prefers for the duration of the dream. This will have no bearing on their suit selection when applying, and suit effects should not manifest once back in the waking world. It's just a dream, after all!

▶ The dreamscape has no explicit time limit, so feel free to make them as long or as short as desired. Dreams should also be sexy first and foremost. While you can include your mom dying in the background if you'd like, you have to be horny about it too.

TWINKLING CURRENTS

THE PARTY NEVER STOPS

As the sun sets in a cascade of colors over the water, lamps are lit and floating lights surface from the depths. Stars twinkle in the sky, and Steve is finally released from his smoky shackles. Though the daytime amenities have gone to sleep, the night promises its own set of beachy wonders sure to please even the most distinguished of vacationers.

Flyers posted in the lobby and in the hallways promise of a bar ran by the most enchanting mermaids you could ever want to fuck, as well as a fireworks show in every color, including ones you’ve never heard of. With the seagulls gone to bed, peace settles across the sands, tinted blue, yellow, and pink from the myriad of lights. For those seeking a more subdued, romantic air — this is the beach for you.

SWIM UP TO THE BAR

▷ While the advertisements promised mermaids, they were careful not to include any photos or illustrations. Wading out into the sea to the floating bar quickly illustrates why: these merfolk are fish on top, not the bottom! If asked about this configuration or accused of being unsexy, they’ll lift their elegant legs out of the water and exclaim, “How else would you be able to fuck us if not for these!” Though a few guests seem unsatisfied by this clarification, there are no complaints about the drinks themselves.

▷ HOLDING ON TO SUMMER. This cocktail brings seaberry-gin, limoncello, white crème de cacao, and freshly squeezed lemon juice over pebbled ice, wrapping you in decadent flavors accenting the season. Drinking this cocktail can cause you to be overcome with the desire to lean back and sink into the ocean itself, but fret not! It also grants you the wonderful ability to breathe underwater, no gills required! And it’s topped with a yummy little ball of white chocolate.

▷ MANGO STAR. A delightfully bright drink in a highball glass, the combination of elderflower rose syrup and seaberry-gin floats a summery pink over the orange mixture of mango juice, lime juice and honey syrup on the bottom. On top are two cute little stars cut out of mango, accented with mint leaves. Guests who drink this cocktail report some confusion in the identity of other guests, as just one drink is enough to shift perception of others. Other characters may appear to be different guests of the resort, or familiar faces from home.

▷ SEABERRY FLORADORA. This is a vibrant cocktail made of seaberry-gin, ginger beer, lime juice and raspberry syrup, highlighted by floral ice cubes and edible flowers. Despite its bright pink color indicating a level of cheerfulness for the summer, this flavorful cocktail causes guests to be quickly overwhelmed with a sense of loneliness. The longer this sensation goes on, the more guests will try to seek out company to aid in the ache, even if it means appearing quite desperate in the process. Each successive drink will increase the severity of the effect.

▷ BLACKBERRY ROSEMARY GIMLET. Blackberries, rosemary sprigs, simple syrup, and a combination of seaberry-gin and lime juice make this aromatic cocktail. It’s double strained over ice and garnished with a blackberry on a pick, giving it a regal appearance. Drinking this cocktail causes obsessive and possessive behavior, however — sometimes to extreme levels. Should your partner choose this cocktail to drink, you may not want to mention anything that could make them jealous. Each successive drink will increase the severity of the effect.

▷ JUST SOME SEAWATER? Questioning the mermaids and mermen on how they came to be the way that they are will result in them offering you an item off the sea-cret menu. Taking a glass from the bar, they dip it into the ocean and offer it right over to you. Drinking the seawater does, in fact, turn you into a very sexy reverse merman or mermaid. This occurs whether or not you drink it from the glass or take in a gulp while swimming, so watch out!

ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY

▷ Where else could you get a perfect view of the stars? Despite the sea of lights below, the artificial nature of the skies in the resort means that all guests get an unrivaled view of the galaxy. Which galaxy? Why, any of them — characters will see a shifting range of constellations from night to night, including ones they don’t recognize, ones shaped a bit like something you might find in Love Dove, and ones that are identical to those from their home. Happy gazing!

▷ A fireworks show is held every night, from 10PM until 1AM. The noises are just loud enough to block out a whispered confession timed correctly, but aren’t quite enough to inhibit conversation. Most of the fireworks are from a design series known as Matteo’s Masterpieces, and range from the standard burst to abstract shapes to... well, you know. Unlike the sloppy doodles found in the margins of books while Swan Lake was decaying, all of the boobs and dicks blasted across the sky are very well rendered. For fireworks.

SANDY SCAVENGING

A GAME OF BEACHES

It wouldn't be the Golden Peacock without a game for guests to play! All guests that wander into the beach area may find themselves receiving one of two Watch messages.

INTO THE DEPTHS

IT'S HIGH TIDE WE GET OUT OF HERE

Though the beach experience is perfect on the surface, things are less elegant behind the scenes. Wave-making machines pulse and rattle down below, shaking the ceiling of the basement suites. Water leaks from pipes, streaking across walls and pooling on the uneven floors. The maintenance levels are abuzz with staff setting out buckets and pans, shooing lost guests away with a heightened level of urgency. Someone got a little too enthusiastic with mopping, they claim. Nothing to worry about at all!

Even the ocean itself isn’t without its issues. Despite appearing as a boundless expanse from the shore, the walls of the Golden Peacock are a very real factor. To avoid any undue damage to the screens that comprise the sky, the sea stops abruptly before it reaches them, cascading into a waterfall all the way down to the depths of the resort. Gentle currents become swirling vortexes and choppy waves, sure to pull down any guests that aren’t careful about where they swim. A few gull-guards patrol the line of buoys that mark the end of the safe swimming area, but the primary line of defense the resort relies on is the utter disinterest most of its guests have.

TUMBLING DOWN

▷ Characters who stray past the line of buoys out in the far sea will find themselves caught in a riptide that sucks them straight over the edge of the water. This applies both to characters swimming, or characters in some sort of vessel, such as a small rowboat borrowed from the staff.

▷ Feel free to make up any sort of vehicle rentals in general, as long as they’re reasonable in size — they should be able to accommodate 1-2 characters at most. A waverider would be okay, but a yacht would not.

▷ While falling down the waterfall, characters will temporarily black out before hitting anything solid. They will resurface anywhere there is standing water, whether that be a flooded hallway, in the Crane’s Respite, or even in someone’s open toilet bowl. There are no limitations on where in the resort the resurfacing can happen; even the bathrooms at Roost aren’t safe from this teleportation.

A RISING FLOOD

▷ Drainage is a difficult aspect to manage. Though the majority of the seawater is recycled to maintain the ocean above, enough of it is siphoned off for deeper filtration that the resort’s plumbing systems simply can’t handle the volume. Leaks are happening on all floors below ground, increasing in depth the further down into the basement characters go.

▷ Characters living in the rank 2, 3, and 4 suites may notice that in addition to having leaks in the hallway, their own rooms are also flooding. This can range anywhere from a constant, unpleasantly damp floor, to having an entire cascade of water blow them and any other unsuspecting guests down several hallways the moment their door is opened. Life vests are recommended.

▷ The flooding will intensify as the event goes on, culminating in some of the maintenance levels being entirely underwater towards the end of the event. Once the event is over, the flooding will recede within about a day, leaving only a few water stains here and there as evidence of their presence.

NOTES

▶ Any amount of standing water is a valid target for a character’s resurfacing, even something as minor as a glass of water. For situations where a character would not actively fit into the source of their arrival, they will be violently flung out of it, knocking over or spilling it in the process if that’s possible.

▶ As always, players are free to control the level to which their individual characters are affected, and being flooded out of their space is not mandatory.

Comments

[inwolvesclothing]

--What?

[He spins to face Ali, practically snarling. But he assess himself, and -- yeah. What he feels isn't just heat. And whatever it is, it's potent, because he can't just shrug it off. Drugs usually struggle to have an effect on him...

He runs his hand through his hair, breathing heavily. Shit.]

Why would they drug the food? And -- with what? [He pauses for a moment to think. This doesn't feel like any kind of sedative, it...]

Oh.

[Right. Of course this place would use aphrodisiacs.]

[cartographie]

[ She was trying to be helpful, and probably to ensure it didn't get too weird for him, so the next time she taps him for a favor he's more likely to accept. ]

Uh.

[ She has no idea, however she's also not getting tied to the fuck pillory if she can avoid it so, better give the difficult answers and cover her bets. ]

Hard is probably better. I'm not getting screwed over on a technicality.

[armwriostle]

[You know what's going to happen when you press a palm to his lips? Look, you can't just do that and not have the man want to play around. Not when the other is acting a bit flustered.

If Lon'qu felt the wet warmth of a tongue against their palm before pulling back... Yeah, that was Wriothesley licking his hand. He's feeling particularly playful and his eyes immediately brighten at the mention of having to earn it. It's those kind of words that are dangerous to say to a man who thrives off challenges.

His grin turns something dangerous, like a wolf who has now locked onto their prey.

He isn't going to be able to strafe away in time with the way that sand will slow ones movement down, so he does what he thinks will be the best possible option in this situation: he pushes forward so he can tackle Lon'qu into the sand before the other can get the upper hand by taking him down.] Let's go then!

[inwolvesclothing]

I'm used to doing this sort of thing.

[You know. Scaring off issues and beating the ones that don't. So of course it was easy enough for him. Even if he doesn't have a reputation here.

Anyway, he looks down at Bakugo, contemplating. Yeah, of course. That's what they all want, right? He sighs, turning his gaze to the rest of the beach.]

That's easier said than done.

[inwolvesclothing]

[He knows it sounds crazy. He's woke up in only a couple inches of water. But this place is -- it pulls tricks. He knows that now.]

Mmm. [Yes, he can imagine Kleken would enjoy a dip in the ocean. Whatever. He takes a step away and then does, in fact, shake himself off.]

Whatever. I should get to the beach and warn everyone else.

[virtuesignal]

[It is tempting to throw all caution to the wind and just bundle Ali up into his arms. Carry him back into the bedroom behind them, close the doors, forget they're somewhere so far away...

No, focus, Concord... don't be so weak for him, your only weakness..........]

I'm not allowing you to go alone. This place could have unknown dangers. We already know this is all... some facade.

[vorrible]

[Her eyes track the trail of juice as it spills over her collarbone.]

It must be my winning personality.

[Haha, as if. More like she chose to ignore any fine print about how many skewers a voucher entitled her to, and good ol' Steeb was too intimidated or sweaty or cottonmouthed from dehydration to contradict her.]

Is there meant to be a limit?

[belheir]

Alright. Give me a few minutes.

[He's got to figure out how to get himself turned on enough that he's hard, because nothing about this conversation or doing it for the greater good of not getting strapped to a fuck pillory really gets the motor going.

After an unfortunately long time, however, Nami will get a little ding with an image attached of Weiss' Mr. Number 3 dick, rather nicely positioned with a hand gripping the base of it while the tip beads a small pearl of pre.

Is this embarrassing? Absolutely. But if there's no face in the picture, then no one can tell this dick pic is his, right?]

This work?

[smokeandglasses]

[Interestingly, he doesn't react at all at that first look. Ali doesn't really fear humans, which might be a giveaway that he's anything but normal. If he had been thinking clearly, he would have forced himself to react to keep his cover up.

He does feel responsible here though, since he was the one who offered up the skewer in the first place. He's a solver, he's already trying to think of solutions to this problem, but his mind is quickly being crowded with lustful thoughts and making it difficult to focus.]

Without knowing the drug or anything about it, we can't guess how long this will last either. We should-

[What can they do besides wait it out?]

-go somewhere else, like one of those beach houses.

[blastedass]

Haa? You normally get hounded by seagulls or muscular men?

[Bakugo's got a reputation as well, and a temperament that'll send a lot of people running, but those fucking birds accosting him earlier didn't seem to notice a thing! Now they do. Bunch of fried sea chickens when he left...

An ashen brow arches up into his bangs when the other man looks at him like that. He'd like to think all of them want to go home, but after talking to two people here, perhaps a few have come to be content with their lives in the hotel.

Bakugo never wants to reach that point.]

No shit. People wouldn't be trapped here if it were.

[smokeandglasses]

[Ali, confused, glances over towards the couple first. But as soon as he realizes what's going on, he gets a shocked look on his face and promptly dives behind the ridge.

When he speaks to Senku, it's with a hushed whisper.]

You're going to steal it from them? Right now?

[inwolvesclothing]

[Luckily (?) Shirou is hardly human. But that's a feature he'll keep quiet about for now.

He crosses his arms and taps his foot, clearly agitated. He just needs to think this through, but now his mind is clouded by-- well.

Being alone in a room in this state is dangerous, but maybe less dangerous than the risk of getting distracted by someone else.]

...Alright. The one I woke up in isn't too far from here.

Thanks for the starter!

[armwriostle]

[People like Rin are the most interesting people to have in the room to interrogate. Interrogation was more than scare tactics and threats. It was a mind game and feeling the other out until you can gently pry them open to reveal exactly what you want.]

Would it matter? Rights where I'm from and rights where you're form probably are different. [She's confident. Maybe even overconfident. The thing about guilty parties is that when they have something to hide, they'll do whatever they can to hide it. He's seen it countless times and has interrogated countless inmates, criminals, and innocents alike.

He rests his chin on his hand, smiling.]

Let's start easy. Get acquainted, you know. [He doesn't know her and she doesn't know him, but there must be a reason why things have manifested this way. An intermingle of their minds creating a dream unlike ones he has been in. Why though?] Do you know why you're here?

[smokeandglasses]

If Mipsie is the one who did this, she wouldn't-

[He had started to say 'she wouldn't put us in any real danger', but no. She knows exactly what they are capable of and would be just the person to design some kind of hazard where they would need to work together to get through it. He's exhausted already thinking about this.]

...no, you're right, we should stick together. Just...don't make a scene and we'll get to a clothing store.

[Ali is the one making the scene here, and yet he's telling Concord not to.]

it's true. gotta appreciate a man who doesn't mess with middle sliders

[keyeju]

[ Sorry, Kafka. None of this is your fault, but for a second Narumi's hand tightens impossible hard on reflex as his expression sharpens into something more severe. At least he seems to realize what he's doing after a moment, and does let go to let poor Kafka tend to his now tenderized nape. ]

What do you mean? What was happening in the fight?

[ And how the hell could Kafka go and show up in a place like this in the middle of a fight?

As if this is somehow Kafka's choice. ]

If you were fighting it, and ended up here suddenly, don't you think you should be more concerned about how that happened?

[ Even assuming this was a dream, it's not like Kafka took a nap mid-fight to recharge. The only one that would work is if Kafka had been knocked out cold.

... Or worse... ]

[smokeandglasses]

Let's go there then.

[Logically, he knows he should part ways with this man here. Two people, experiencing a heat, behind closed doors? It's not hard to guess what's going to happen. And yet, he'll walk along regardless, knowing what will happen. He's inwardly cursing at the rabbit meat, because normally he can keep his more animalistic feelings under control.]

[inwolvesclothing]

[Yeah, it's kind of inevitable where this is going to go. He runs his hand through his hair, debating.

They make it to the house soon enough, which is thankfully empty. Plenty of beds to share.]

I'm going to wash up.

[Maybe splashing some water on his face will help. Of course, he's gone for more than a few minutes, just stuck staring at the mirror and trying not to give into the desire to chase Ali down and pin him.]

[senku]

Not stealing. Borrowing. I'll put them back after I prove I found everything.

[His voice stays at a normal conversational tone. He doesn't think there's much chance of being overheard.]

And not right now. I'm giving them a chance to leave first. There's not even a millimeter's chance they'll remember their shoes.

[Those chances are better if they leave in the middle for a more private location, but even if they finish first, he's putting his faith in a satisfied post-orgasm haze.]

[virtuesignal]

[Concord, so very stubborn in his insistence, will reach down for his discarded robe and spread it over Ali's shoulders like a cape. At least two thin robes add up to something semi decent. For himself, he reaches and bundles his long mass of hair over one shoulder, draping it over his front. It is long enough to hang down well passed his dick so... that'll do. Better to flash his ass than his cock, maybe...]

Clothing and I need... a brush. [he really doesn't like his hair being loose like this, but braiding it while it's unkempt isn't good either! At least if they find something, Ali can help comb it out for him.... the only person he could trust to the duty.]

[blastedass]

How different their worlds are; kids in Bakugo's world went to high school for kids with superpowers in order to become pro heroes. Plenty of 14 - 18 year olds in U.A.'s classes were very much taken seriously by criminals and police officers. Some Pro Heroes gained their reputations in high school even before they became established adult Pros. Bakugo does his damnest to hide his inner nerd when it comes to superheroes and superpowers, but if someone can look past his exterior, they'll see it easily.

With the sparkler lit, he's able to see Peter's face more clearly and vice versa in the warm yellow-white glow of the sparks and streamers. He looks a bit older than the kid Bakugo initially took him for. There's something heavy about him, as if there's a weight of experience behind his almost-boyish face. Must've had an interesting life.

"No shit." Bakugo's voice drops to a wry drone. He noticed that from the fireworks and plenty of other messed-up things throughout the day. Including the people who straight up told him, much to his stunned ire. He narrows his eyes at that visible grin. Grrr. "Don't look down on me! I'll cook my own food then!"

[ It does take a while, but if anything, it just gives her more time to score another bathing suit bottom or two as she sneaks her way around the beach, in the weirdest revisit to her thieving roots she could have ever imagined. When the picture arrives, however, she stops briefly to open the message, her eyebrows raising at the sight of his cock, lips quirking in a quietly appreciative smirk as she responds. ]

Looks like it works really well, yeah.

[ What? She already knows Weiss has good taste. ]

Just fucking with you, it'll work perfectly. Still trying to get those bathing suits, though. You should have asked for a picture back instead.

[ Though might be awkward to send a naked picture to someone she knows as the cat guy, it'd still be easier, and let her get through the rest of the list. ]

[It's clear by the smile on this man's face - he means what he's saying. The desire to impress, to command attention, and to keep the show going have welled up in his chest.

Who is Charlie to burst that bubble?

He purses his lips, but can't keep the smile from his face for more than a moment.] I want.

[He taps the table with his finger, the gesture louder than one would expect. His gaze shifts to the knife, and then back to his eager entertainer.] To know how you ended up in clown school.

There's gotta be a story there. [He half expects the man to lie - but that's fine. So long as the lie is fun.]

[belheir]

[Now he's gotta deal with this problem of being hard and mildly horny. This is absolutely the worst.

(He's absolutely just gonna jerk it utilitarian style between messages.)]

I guess it would probably be easier for you? I promise I won't look, and I'll delete it after I turn it in.

[You'd never know he was a demon overlord with this goody two-shoes behaviour.]

lmfao god, THIS GUY!!!

[bountyfull]

[ Well, depending on the when, if you ask his brother he's definitely a biter. Vash himself? Just half offers Baptiste a aborted little laugh, his hands lifting up in front of himself, the prosthetic glinting in the artificial sun. ]

I'm really not the kind of guy to do any of this normally... [ But when in ... rome? Or rather, when the other option is being stuck in a free use pillory for an indeterminate amount of time. He's really keen on avoiding that. Especially in the sun. ]

But I wouldn't mind helping each other out. It's only fair, after all. [ There's a flush clear down the back of his neck, largely reflecting the embarrassment he's trying so hard to push down. ]

I'm pretty sure one guy's not going to be able to fill a whole cup though... [ JUST, SIMPLE MATH... BIOLOGY....mortifying. ]

[vorrible]

[It's a mildly interesting set of scars, though her attention is sidetracked almost immediately by the question. What is that supposed to mean?]

They did not. Care to enlighten me?

[She didn't ask what any of it was called before eating it because it hadn't seemed important at the time. Probably some local—to wherever this is—species, who cares. She supposes it's possible it might be something one needs to build a tolerance for, but if the fruit turns out to contain some kind of toxin she can always manually flush it from her system. Maximize her liver and kidney function for a while.

She'll wait for the explanation before jumping the gun on that, though. Maybe the fruit just has a stupid name.]
