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

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.

[massochism]

(hehe, I'm happy to provide! I hope I do the goodest boy justice)

[bright green meets intense blue, and he's taken... only a little aback by the showmanship and exaggeration. this man certainly lacks not a shred of audacity, indeed.

he reminds him of some of the idol groups from those years ago, boisterous and entertaining in a way he doesn't think he ever could be. someone fair, he says, and it turns that smile a little more shy. Olivine is... getting more used to such assertions, but it's still embarrassing sometimes. delicate fingers take his proffered wrist to take a look.

it doesn't take much more than a glance at the Watch to understand what's going on—as expected, the resort continues to take no prisoners, as it were. well, or tries to take prisoners, maybe? anyway. the priest releases him then, humming softly.]

I see. It's... certainly more like coercion here, more often than not. I'm glad it doesn't seem to have dampened your spirit any, though—and the pillory is more or less exactly what it sounds like.

[Baptiste's gaze doesn't seem to bother him too much either, and he's soothed more by a returned smile. if he didn't want to be looked at, he... probably would have chosen a different outfit. probably.]

Oh— [he's about to answer when the taller man leans in closer, eyes widening just a touch. there's no fear there, just a touch of surprise in his gaze. should he be surprised? doesn't matter. then his eyes squeeze closed with the following smile, just briefly.] I would be happy to assist however I can, yes. Have you collected any of them yet?

[belheir]

[Like always, it's the small gestures like that that really help him along. It feels a little weird, but that's probably only because of his situation and the way he's getting it while bent over and rather vulnerable.

The hand stroking his spine feels hot. Hotter than the fabricated sun, that's for sure, and it buds anticipation in him. No, he's not worried about being hurt or made a fool of or anything like that, more that he doesn't like being restrained. So any little gesture like that is doing wonders in keeping him calmer, despite all his big talk and feigned nonchalance.]

As much as you're willing to give. Since you're the first, and hopefully the last.

Ah, thanks! Same tbh. Good luck with apps!

[tfy]

Nope! I was just hoping you'd use different language, that's all!

[Prettier language. Politer language. But he can already hear the other boy saying "You expect ME to be polite?" or "You expect ME to talk pretty? I'll kill you!" so he won't say that. He doesn't have a death wish! Explosions are only good news when they're happening a safe distance away from him!

Though he does laugh in response to Bakugo's shouting. So on second thought, maybe he has a death wish after all.]

Fufufu! ♪

[Yeah, this probably does not quell Bakugo's rage. ... at least his next words are complimentary?]

You certainly sound it! Very well, I won't doubt your skills again! Now I want to see you have a cook-off with Jun-kun, actually. Do you ever use that power of yours for cooking? It seems to me like you could use it to fry birds, at least. Though seagull is not considered a delicacy, so I'll pass on ever trying that.

[Fortunately, Jun is not as talkative as Hiyori. He's not as quiet as he used to be! He can hold a conversation now. And you might even get him to talk a lot if you get him started on one of his interests, like exercise or manga. But he's not an irritating chatterbox (or a gay little green parrot), and he's had to tell Hiyori once or twice to put a sock in it.

Unfortunately, Hiyori's not done talking yet, because now he has to explain the rank system.

First thing's first: he is not going to explain that the only (or at least the most effective) means of raising your rank. Maybe Bakugo would be fine with it. He is a boy, and he's at that age. But Hiyori finds the whole thing distasteful, and as an idol, he'll pass on the whole competitive-sleeping-around thing himself. It'd be a betrayal of his fans if he did that. He's hoping to bust out before anyone can force him to properly play Game 52.

Though the rank system is still something he finds distasteful, even putting aside how you change rank. He predicts more swearing to follow! Time to brace his delicate ears.]

Alright, here goes!

[He takes a breath, straightens up, and then begins another tl;dr infodump, wagging a finger in the air as he explains stuff.]

After you've been here a week or so, they give you a rank. The rank is based on playing cards—that's another thing they're obsessed with here—and the lowest is two, while the highest is King and Queen! Or at least I think those are the highest. Ace and Jack also seem to be treated like "royalty," though.

Basically, your treatment and accommodations depend on what your rank is. So if you're a so-called "royalty card," the longer-term guests will all gossip excitedly about you and worship the ground you walk on. You'll also be given a grand room—I visited a Queen's suite last month for a birthday celebration, and her "room" was more like a private villa. There was another fake beach inside like this one, and she even had her own private pool with a waterslide. She had her own elevator, too.

[Then his expression darkens.]

But if you're a low rank, like in the two to four range, you'll be stuck in a shabby room without its own bath. The staff will treat you like you're invisible, or so I've heard. And those rooms are located on the lower-level floors, where there's all sorts of unpleasant stuff going on: ghosts, monster attacks, chemical spills, you name it! It's that kind of corrupt system: the kind where they take one look you and decide whether you're somebody worthwhile. And everyone's meant to accept it as "just the way things work around here."

[His tone and the negative framing should let Bakugo know what he thinks of that. Though it's not like the world he comes from doesn't also have similar hierarchies in place. Some people are at the top of the food chain, some are on the bottom!

But he, Hiyori Tomoe, has never been anywhere close to the bottom. Not even in this place, though he's also far from the top here.]

[armwriostle]

How mean. I've done nothing to deserve such treatment. Since when did you become such a bully, hmm?

[He only deserves kindness???]

Taking peoples' swim bottoms. What would Fontaine's people do if they knew you were doing such a risqué thing. Alright, alright. You can have them though. Do you need anything else on my person while we're at it?

[virtuesignal]

[Steve protests them giving up for about three seconds, before Concord begins pumping the watergun again for a second attempt. Then the man is waving with a "No! No! That's enough!" ...

Concord lowers the water gun with a sigh. Well. At least he's free from his stubborn insistence on this, if Steve is finally calling him off the task,]

I only wished to help. Perhaps I caused him more trouble than relief. [at least he got sprayed with some water to cool down, even if he didn't really get to drink any of it. That's.... something!]

[virtuesignal]

What other ways? [Concord cuts through the rest of what Akechi is saying to ask that, abrupt and firm, despite his voice not raising. He always speaks quietly, but there is a military strictness to his tone in that question.

It might read as desperation, seeking an out from this whole thing. Concord doesn't think he'll be good at this game. The need to play it, to get home, cannot be delayed... but he's picky. Stubborn. Ali is going to absolutely smoke him one card collection if he cannot get it together.]

[virtuesignal]

I don't wish to worsen his plight by continuing to spark a curse... [Concord is very, very weary of curses. Not that he's going to share why, feeling like the massive scar on his back and front says all it needs to. He doesn't realize that such a thing doesn't immediately read as a cursed injury- he's used to people knowing just what he is at a glance. Concord was not one to really blend in back home, people understood he was a unicorn. Hid kind don't just get scars like that,]

As for this... place. To run off the energy of those within it is not unique. That is every place, when one gets down to it. [that's just an ecosystem to Concord, every place runs off the energy of what is in it, somehow]

[emyoji]

[ He's definitely an attractive man. Whether it is some spell from the resort's food or not, Eiden looks delicious to Seimei. The fox reaches out to take the sunscreen and lubricant from Eiden's hands, giving him a thoughtful look as he slips his fingers under the man's chin and tilts it up so he can see that flushed face. ]

How impatient. Is it because of the heat? Look how red you are... All right, young master. If it's what you need, I can lend you some aid.

[ He squirts out a bit of the sunscreen onto his palm and begins rubbing it over the exposed collarbones and chest muscles where Eiden's robe has fallen. His fingers massage in the lotion, then carelessly seem to circle his nipple, tracing the soft pink before he brushes his thumb over the nub. ]

Are you worried I can't satisfy you? How hungry are you today, hm? It's all right. You can tell me.

[noholdsbard]

I’d never lie.

[ Actually, it’s more like he’s pretty terrible at it. ]

I—I know I can’t prove it without my Noble Phantasm, and I’m not sure why I can’t summon Failnaught right now, but I would certainly never lie to a lady, let alone a dear friend—

[ How badly is it going to kill her that he’s completely in earnest, anyway… ]

[emyoji]

Could I? But they're so big. I'm only one person and they always have so many other helpers with them.

[ What sort of powerful mage does he look like, sir? Help him! Even though he just had the same experience with Charlie, playfully teasing him about being strong. They both seem to be getting on fine and Seimei can feel the stranger assessing him. That's okay. He wants to play with this one some more. ]

One question?

[ The fox watches as those fingers tease the frost he left on the edge of the glass, smiling softly as one points his way. A trade alone is enticing, but one with this crafty man feels particularly exciting. It makes him want to get closer to him and see just what the other can do. ]

That sounds fair to me. Take good care of me, and I can answer your question however you like. I'll make sure to be thorough.

[ He raises his hand, tracing his fingertips teasingly over the back of Charlie's before sliding his palm against the other's skin smoothly. ]

Shall we shake on it?

[ ooc: Fox immediately and enthusiastically trying to bed the vampire. ]

[theidlemaiden]

[ When Edelgard agrees with her, she can’t help the wave of disbelief that she feels. While it’s mostly directed at that fact, it also has to do with an odd certainty that Edelgard means what she says.

That they agree on anything is hard to wrap her mind around considering their previous circumstances before arriving here. Then again, that they’re agreeing on something so ridiculous is somewhat fitting. There’s a brief pause where she regards her, not having missed the slight crease between the woman’s brows before slipping her sunglasses onto her face again. She’d give them to her later. ]

Just so you know, I prefer sweet drinks.

[ If she's going to get something out of this, it might as well be something she likes.

She’s quick to gather the items she’d collected thus far into the little bag that she had managed to pilfer from one of the lifeguards. It’s a tote bag with an absolutely ridiculous design on it (three lifeguard seagulls are printed on it, flexing in various forms with jaunty text underneath it reading: ‘Suns out, guns out!’) and while it's hardly the fashion item of the year - but it was growing on her. ]

We can keep an eye out for any sandals that have been left out. Some people just seem to run off to swim or disappear to some other part of the beach and not come back for them.

[silicone]

Haven't heard that name in a while...

[ there's something perhaps a little... nostalgic-looking in his expression the moment he calls him "young master", head tilted up makes it very apparent that the words bring a little shade of pink to the tips of his ears, and a kind of far-off longing to his eyes. though, he quickly shifts his attention back to the present. that'd be rude, to think of someone else, wouldn't it?

he doesn't exactly have to think, however, when a hand works slowly at his chest, draws slick sunscreen over his body. the catching along his nipple earns a soft sigh from him, a little moan that he bites back on inside his mouth. his body responds in kind, with a flood of something effervescent, warm, heady underneath his skin. he can feel his own essence quivering with the stimulation, sending his skin prickling in delight. he leans into that palm in particular, not enough to put full weight, but to show interest keenly.

he's handsome, he's really handsome, and eiden just reaches forward to slide a hand up along his thigh, higher and higher to frame the space where leg meets hip with his hand. ]

Hungry enough that if we don't find somewhere else to do this, I might just have to make do right here, right now. Granted... the things I wanna do might be best done without a full audience.

[ because eiden does enjoy sex, he won't let this place ruin it for him just because he accidentally drugged himself. it's happened before, it no doubt will happen again - he's used to his essence fluctuating unfairly. in any case, his eyes cast themselves over seimei pointedly, raking over the other, drinking in every muscle and curve with a flooding appreciation. ]

[bleakdecember]

[Ah, well. Luckily for Concord, Akechi loves explaining things to people and showing off. So he's not too upset about being ignored.]

Sex is obviously the main point of the game, but... Who you have sex with matters. The game of forming connections. And, of course, there's the gambling -- if you're just looking for resources, you could theoretically just win enough chips to support yourself.

[He shrugs, teasingly.]

I suppose it depends on much you're willing to give up and settle.

[laserguy]

[What were they talking about again...? Oh, right, Kazuya's ability to set his own boundaries and everything. He's made it clear. So, Scott should just leave it alone now. ...Yeah, just leave it alone so that he can shove his hand inside his swim trunks and give himself the relief that he definitely deserves... sounds great. He shifts uncomfortably, throat visibly bobbing, gaze starting to become a little unfocused.

He'll just... blame his suit too for this overall reaction. Yeah, taking responsibility for himself, but.]

It's not thinking that you can't take care of yourself. You're the demon lord, as you have made clear. But... [Scott's eyes squeezes behind his shades, mind slowly turning off track once more as another surge of that nearly overwhelming sensation rips through him. Okay, maybe this conversation can be wrapped up soon. He lets himself settle on a nearby longue chair, not thinking how he looks as he keeps his legs spread to show the obvious bulge pressing against his swimwear as he gazes at the young demon.]

Everything here happens at a fast pace. Not to mention how the casino itself influences people-- and don't say that it doesn't affect you at all, I know it does. [...] Did you want to do anything in particular with me? That we weren't able to?

[armwriostle]

[Eyelashes flutter and Wriothesley can't help the shiver that runs up his spine. Good boy. He really should be more embarrassed by the way those words affect him so easily, but his mind isn't thinking about that at the moment. He's too caught up in the sensations. The sudden need to please the other and get more of that sweet praise burned under his skin.

And he does his best to be good, continuing to stretch Eiden open, pressing fingers deep inside the other, letting the tips rub against the man's inner walls as he thrusts them in and out. When the other climaxes, he swallows ever drop offered to him. He gulps the salty spend down his throat, a guttural sound as he feels Eiden's erection twitch in his throat.

It's only when he's sure the other has released all they can offer that he pulls off their cock, licking it clean.

Wriothesley looks up at Eiden, face slightly flushed, gaze hazy with a pleased smile.] I promised you the whole package deal. We're not finished yet, sweetheart. I'm sure you've wanted more than just my fingers inside you, right?

[virtuesignal]

I don't care about wealth or status... I just need to get home. Preferably with Ali and not after.

[If Ali can get home before him, the dragon might just take the opportunity. Especially while they are still cross with one another. Then what would happened to home? Ali's policies for the country allowed to run unchecked-? Concord might perish on the spot when he returns... a merciful death compared to needing to clean up after a dragon's rampage- even if that rampage only comes in the form of tax reform and union busting-

Concord downs the rest of his drink. Two gulps total,]

Settling isn't my strong suit.

[silicone]

[ he watches his throat work as he swallows down the load and just shivers as he does so. shamelessly. that's the best part - this man matches his shamelessness to an absolutely t and all he can do is melt a moment as his body catches up with the sensations at hand, with the fingers inside of him, keeping him soft and ready. ]

Read my mind...

[ with the gentle press of the ball of his bare foot against wriothesley's leg, he nudges him open wider, then shifts, lets the top of his arch push against the apex of his thighs where his cock rests. ]

So will you let me have a seat? Or should I grab you by the dick myself and take it?

[ fingers in his hair tightening a little more, tilting his head back now that he's not sucking him off. the tone is playful, and he tilts his head a little bit to check his reaction. ]

[belheir]

[He almost feels a little bad for requesting this of him, but in that same vein... Well, Scott is just one of those people who'll do anything to help others it seems. Feels very demonic of him to take advantage of that, and he's not sure he really should feel a little pleased about it, but here he is, he supposes.

Kazuya moves, settling into the beach chair only slightly across from him, keeping his gaze respectfully upwards, and not at all paying any attention to what Scott's hand is doing out of the corner of his eye.]

No, I've definitely been affected. I won't lie about that. I've been drugged plenty of times here already. [But other than the annoyance about it, he's come to terms with it, doesn't really mind it so much anymore so long as he knows what it is he's getting into and can make a plan of action to deal with it.

He opens his mouth to continue, but gets cut off when Scott asks him if he wants to do anything particular with him, that he wasn't able to before. He seems mildly surprised for it.]

... Is that the normal you asking, or the you currently affected by the food and has his hand down his swim trunks?

[There's a distinction there! A small one.]

[silicone]

I know you're not the kind of give up hope so fast, either. You're one of a kind.

[ a laugh as he just brings him to touch their foreheads together. there's part of him that wants to put on decent clothes and have a meal and catch up, but the fact that olivine is right here and just as ready for him as he is push the thought to a later time, maybe after a long shower... after... well. you know.

so he leans in and kisses him again, this time deeper than before, wrapping arms around his waist. ]

[armwriostle]

Are you trying to seduce me again? You seem to have a knack for it.

[And Wriothesley is happy to play along. The sentiment seems less sincere and more just playful flirting and he's happy to pretend with the other regardless of its validity or not. It's all in good fun.

Satisfied that the other looks no worse for wear, he finishes dusting sand off the other.]

You don't have to apologize. They shouldn't be bullying people around like they are. [A click of his tongue as he glances out where he's sure some of them are looking for a new target to bully.] I'm glad that I could help before things got any worse.

[emyoji]

[ That soft, gentle look of longing doesn't go unnoticed by the fox. He sees the warmth behind it and wonders what lucky person it might belong to. Someone that managed to catch quite a handsome man, it seems. They must be special.

He hooks his free hand behind Eiden's neck, pulling him in for a kiss as he rolls the flushed nipple between his fingers, arching into the way Eiden touches him, showing off the hardening bulge between his legs so that the younger man knows just how interested he is in satisfying that restless need of his. Seimei's tongue explores the hollow of Eiden's mouth, stroking it with his tongue and leaving a sharp bite on his bottom lip as he pulls back again, only to find his ear and hum softly into it. ]

That's all right. You can imagine anyone you want to. I'll make sure to give you a sweet dream that satisfies every part of you.

[ Even if it's only a nostalgic illusion. He doesn't mind playing into that desire. Seimei bites the edge of Eiden's ear, teasing it as he lingers close to him. ]

Just give me your name. I'll hold it for a while during our play. I can even satisfy that, little pet, if you ask me to. Don't worry about anyone else. All you need to think about is what you want, mm?

[ He can feel the spirit inside Eiden. Perhaps not completely clearly, but the fox can smell the urge to mate on him and he's possessed people enough to recognize when it's in front of him. He goads the soul inside of Eiden as much as he teases Eiden's physical body, his magic building with the desire to dominate and claim his prey. ]

Don't worry. I won't let them see you. Not unless you want to be seen.

[armwriostle]

[Hung is so cute, the tail thumping against the floor like it is, he thinks is quite endearing. He continues to pet the other since they seem content.]

They could force us, but it would probably mean they would go through people faster. Assuming that they need us here for whatever reason, would it not be better if they tried and have us enjoy out time here? We're probably of better use that way than if they just continued to force us in a more merciless way.

[Wriothesley understands this well. If people are happy, then they're more likely to work. Never underestimate the value of people.]

We don't know how long this place has been here, so maybe they had different methods before and this method gives them some of the best results. [He does recall the maintenance levels and the word 'PUNISHMENT' so clearly plastered.] Well, I would rather them not decide to change their methods, even if I'd prefer not waking up in a new bed every other month.

[silicone]

[ as he's kissed, his eyes flutter closed and he returns it in kind, eager as his other hand comes up to clasp seimei's shoulder and leverage himself a little further into it. tongue brushing tongue briefly to stroke back in turn. as the bite lingers, the small sting of it, his own tongue draws across it briefly. ]

How about I just imagine you. Because that's who I want—you.

[ and he means it, because eiden puts a good amount of faith in the unique experiences brought on by partners - new or old. it's not said flippantly, rather, maybe an easy reassurance that the other doesn't need. maybe it's for himself. the teeth against his ear stop him from saying much else a moment, just listening. his eyes glaze a little bit because it feels good, a sensation that draws down his sides as his back arches just a bit from where he's seated.

eiden definitely knows better when he starts feeling something distant, a twinge of magic that his own essence clings onto a little. the stupid rabbit in him jackhammers his heart, blood rushing to every part of his body with thrill and excitement so he doesn't even blink twice— ]

As for my name... Eiden. It's Eiden.

[ said as he slides fingers against that bulge, a palm skimming along it as he speaks. ]

I want this... and this... [ that same hand skimming up his torso, to his chest. he murmurs softly at his ear: ] and I want you to fuck me until I'm full of your cum, 'til I can't hold anymore. Every load you have, I'll take it. I'm real good at that.

[laserguy]

[...Shopping without thinking, huh? He's unable to disguise his amusement at the very idea of teaching something like that, but the warm chuckle that leaves Scott is far from cruel or mocking. Honestly, it's charming what she just said. Maybe Jubliee would like to teach a class like that.

He's almost afraid of making that proposal even in jest back home.]

I believe a class like that might be too dangerous. [Sure, her answer may sound silly, but without having any context of what a car may be, Scott isn't going to blame her.] But it's fine. I'm sure there's many things from your world or time period that I don't know about.

[...] It makes the universe just a little larger.

[icequeenly]

[ It's an all to familiar feeling, that creeping warmth within and the way she feels strangely restless... For heaven's sake, not now. Not when she's just trying to have a nice, normal conversation with someone she's only just met properly for the first time!

The mention of Kotone at least puts reality sharply back into focus again and even for someone as normally stoic as the redhead is, the look of sadness is clear on her face for a moment. She glances down at her hands where she rests them elegantly in her lap, apparently deep in thought. ]

I am. [ Or at least, she was. Like Scott, Mitsuru is all too conscious of what leaving this place must mean for Kotone. ]

I take it you are aware of her disappearance?
