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.

[belheir]

[He knows this... And he's living for it. For such close contact with someone he cares about so much. For the time he's given to bask in her presence, skin to skin.]

Hm... Maybe I'll haunt your family line as a guardian deity.

[Is that something he could do? Maybe!]

Or maybe I'll wait for your soul to return and haunt your reincarnation. Could be either or.

[armwriostle]

[Overflow post]

[malpwactice]

[It was easy to get numb to the fact they had a device on them constantly that could be transmitting data back. It was easy to get caught up on the little annoyances, like not being able to take it off to shower, instead. It was exceptionally easy to get distracted with Nestflix and end up watching seven hours of smutty B-horror movies.]

[For a moment, he's not sure if the older man is following, but the more direct and contained gestures reassure him that he's not wasting his time.]

You can send a message anytime but I might be busy~ like a conversation you leave hangin' until we're both around.

[this cat has probably never posted a letter in his life]

You can write it or, [oh, hey, it's them. Aak pauses mid-explanation to grin and put his hands together to form a heart,] record it or send a vid.

[brothergoblin]

[ If Tyler had much mental capacity left to respond, he'd be pointing out loud is all thanks to Concord himself. But he doesn't and the responding groan - just as loud - is because he's completely surrendered himself to this moment. Completely surrendered his body to Concord and with it the keys to unlocking the climax that can't be all too far out of sight.

In fact with the way Tyler is still squirming on top of him, using the soles of his feet to balance so he can almost rock his hips forward to meet those fingers, it's only a matter of time before the orgasm follows. ]

I know, f-fuck. I-- I'm close.

[belheir]

[The last thing he expects is for his new encounter to lose himself so readily in his hand, before he's even done anything of note. He slows his hand, jerking him off through his orgasm a little more gently, coaxing more seed from him as he does.]

I see now why you'd be down for multiple.

[Since he cums so easy, and all, is the apparent tease.

He curls his fingers inside Natsume, maybe testing a little if he can make him do more than just gasp, but writhe, squirm, moan loud and maybe call his name, with a little insistence and patience.]

[asixthsense]

H-ha-ha. You can laugh at me later.

[How embarrassing. Natsume couldn't even defend himself when the evidence was all over Kazuya's fingers. Talk about a first impression.

Kazuya will find Natsume to be very reactive when he does that, and he does indeed moan his pleasure when his prostate is teased. Natsume pushes back against those fingers, starting to rock between the other boy's hands as his cock starts to harden again. The added sensitivity gives everything a sharp edge to how good it feels, but it isn't enough for him to want to stop. He hasn't even gotten what he really wants yet.]

How long are you g-going to tease me?

[belheir]

Just a little longer.

[Just enough for him to be sure that the pain will be minimal, that he's being careful and caring enough to not be exceedingly rough because he really wants Natsume to truly enjoy himself.

But he's also getting a little impatient himself, which means a few more thrusts of his fingers, a few more gentle scrapes of the pads of them across his prostate before he removes them and settles properly in place behind him.

He grips his own cock, gently rubbing the tip of it against the slickened hole.]

Ready?

[asixthsense]

[Natsume will be sure to appreciate all the thoughtfulness and care being put into how Kazuya treats him later. Thankfully, Kazuya doesn't seem to be the type to tease until Natsume is mindless with need.

That doesn't mean the thought of pulling Kazuya down onto the bed and riding him hasn't crossed Natsume's mind.]

Please.

[Now he's trying to push back when he feels the tip of Kazuya's cock circling his hole, impatience starting to get to him as well.]

[belheir]

[Kazuya sinks into him wordlessly after that, a soft groan rumbling up from his throat as he does. The pressure around him is amazing, and both hands find their way to brace himself against Natsume's hips, though the fact one still may be a little slick is of no consequence.

They can get cleaned up later, when he takes them back to his room.

His forehead hits the back of Natsume's neck once he's fully sheathed in him, inhaling his delicious scent as he waits for the other to adjust, peppering kisses along the curve of it. Patience. Patience and then he can claim him for real. Fuck him into submission against the mattress like the animal in heat he is.]

[silicone]

[ the sounds that wriothesley makes are ones that eiden could stand to hear all day. his palms skim upwards to frame his chest, massaging luxuriously as he licks and nips at him. he wants to wring every pitch from the man just by playing with him like this, carefully and not so carefully, leaving hungry bite marks along the supple surface of his chest.

Feeling the sudden bucking of his hips. eiden stops mid-bite to part his lips and whine as he feels a jolt of stimulation and arches, moaning, though it trails off into a laugh as he realizes what's happening.

it puts him on enough of a back foot to cling as they land backwards, fingers clutching shoulders as he playfully yelps and at least attempts to drag the other fully on top of him. ]

— Unfair... maybe that's what I want.

[ though from this position, he can still look him in the eye and offer him a giddy smile, a knee pressing gently against his side to draw him in closer, thighs spread just to situate his body between them. ]

I like how sensitive this part of you is—I remember from last time.

[ dragging fingers over his shoulder, down again to skim over his chest feather-light. the position has changed but he's still very much handsy, even with a cock deep inside of him. ]

[armwriostle]

[If he were a weaker man, he’d probably come from all this attention to his chest. Nipples thoroughly abused and the remnants of bites and the slow forming of bruises a nice little reminder of today for Wriothesley to appreciate later.

Right now though, his face is flushed and he’s looking somewhat winded. He clicks his tongue as he bows his head to sink teeth into the junction of Eiden’s neck and leaving more as he bites all the way to one of the man’s shoulders. It’s obvious retaliation. He was going to cover the smaller man with plenty of bites by the end of their compilation.]

You’re the one that started this. You can’t be claiming unfair.

[A roll of his eyes and a small snort before he tips his head up to press a kiss to Eiden’s chin sweetly.]

Today is about spoiling you, not me. I’m not the birthday boy, sweetness.

[massochism]

[cont. here]

[snakelace]

[ Why can’t Kleken learn to ease him into this— ]

Ah—

[ The sudden withdrawal of those tentacles does leave him feeling a little more wanting than he cares to admit, and he hopes Kleken doesn’t catch that brief flicker of disappointment in his eyes before the horrible bad no-good teasing begins, one of Baizhu’s hands clutching at Kleken’s hair as he tries to find his voice.

Sometimes he wonders just how sensitive he’s truly become after months of living in this place. ]

Tha—That’s not much better…

[ He sure is one dissatisfied customer! But it’s true though—all that kissing isn’t making him feel better. In fact, it’s making him crave more… ]

[lieabilities]

[ Because tentacles are either 0 or 100- ]

[ He chuckles under his breath though at the complaint, glancing up with eyes that are very well aware of what he's doing but feigning innocence. Baizhu is sensitive, he's gathered that much about him, and there's something about his tentacles that's both feared and desired. He just hasn't worked out which feeling is stronger yet. ]

[ Wouldn't it be so lovely if he made the man ask for it? ]

It sounds as if you'd like for me to pull away entirely.

[ The tentacle on his shoulder reaches out then, to trace over Baizhu's jawline to across his lips, a simple touch and not much more. ]

I do hope I'm not interpreting you incorrectly.

[silicone]

Then you're ensuring I'll bully you worse next time. Got it—

[ he cuts himself off with a choked gasp as teeth sink into the space between throat and shoulder. he throws his head back, just in time to catch the kiss along his chin.

the flush over his face deepens at that, his essence electric along his skin, sending chills along his spine. he lets fingers climb into wriothesley's hair then, a quiet promise to torment him next time said and done.

so he tips down to catch his mouth, another kiss, hungry and deep and warm as he tightens around wriothesley's cock, hips giving an enticing roll. against his mouth: ]

You spoil me loads.

[schmisse]

I have a feeling you'd annoy my brother a lot.

[ Which honestly would be so hilarious. Weiss hopes she'll live long enough and enjoy the rest of her life after accomplishing her goals of bringing back the Schnee family name's glory, but there really is that risk of not making it that long. Best to just enjoy life however she can. ]

I don't think reincarnation works that way. I think... [ A beat. ] I only know of one person whose soul transfers into another person's body when they die.

[belheir]

[Sometimes it's good to annoy siblings!

He'd be 10,000x more obnoxious if Naoya was here. He knows this about himself in his heart.]

It's how it works where I'm from. I've already told you how souls usually get scrubbed clean of their memories in the sea of souls to be reborn again. Do you think maybe that guy is just weird? Even my brothers soul doesn't do the sort of thing that you explained. He's just always himself, even if he has a new body. No body sharing for him and another person.

[theidlemaiden]

[ Listen there's a time and place to chug caffeine and sleep procrastinate. The jury (read: Hilda Valentine Goneril alone) is very much in agreement however that research and other similar boring chores are not worth it.

The answer he gives her is clearly one that she hadn't wanted and she meets his gaze with a somewhat miserable look that typically comes when there's an answer she doesn't like. That look however is short lived, quickly morphing into something wide-eyed at the bluntness of his question.

She's hardly a prude but she hadn't been expecting that and from a stranger no less. ]

What - yes? I guess that would make this experience...worse somehow if I hadn't.

[asixthsense]

[His whole body seems to be screaming finally as he's properly mounted, quivering as he takes in every inch. The sound Natsume makes in the back of his throat is needy and whining. He bares his neck for Kazuya, tilting his head to the side as kisses are pressed against hot skin.

It's a good thing one of them has patience, because Natsume absolutely does not. He wants his mate to move already, yet at the same time he's reveling in the fullness of finally being taken. Natsume tried to get the message across without words, rocking himself back into Kazuya's embrace. Natsume was only human after all; he didn't have the mental fortitude a demon like Kazuya did, to be thinking so far ahead of his next move. He'd already given in to the aphrodesiac's suggestions at this point.]

[belheir]

[His mate is already moving against him so soon. Almost too soon, judging by the way he hisses and reflexively bucks into him in turn. It's fine. It's good. It's alright. Natsume is moving, and that means he's ready, doesn't it? It means there isn't any more use in delaying both of them their needs.

His teeth clamp down harder on the junction between shoulder and neck as he rocks himself into him. Slow at first, and then picking up the pace rapidly from there. He needs to mark him, to breed him, to show off to everyone else just who this newcomer belonged to. Nothing that will make sense in his mind later, but for now that's all it does.]

[ Wriothesley's definitely right about at least one thing -- these skewers are good. The kick of spice hits in just the right way, burning a little on the way down, and Fuuta reflexively licks his lips with the next bite to catch a bit of the spice rub that lingers there. ]

Yeah, well, I'm not. [ Scared, that is. ] So it doesn't even matter.

[ Another bite of the skewer has him huffing after a swallow. -- damn, these spices are really hitting hard. He's usually pretty good at handling spicy food, way better than most of his peers back home, but the heat from this is really lingering ... ? Fuuta swallows thickly before giving out a heavy exhale, then fiddling with the front of his hoodie, yanking down the zipper to get himself a little air. ]

And whatever. We all know how this place works by now. It's probably some ... dumb bullshit, what this does. You know. Gets you all worked up, or whatever. [ Note: he's reluctant to actually say the word 'aroused' just yet, though. ] That shit's easy to handle if you know what's coming.

[bedroll]

[ He's more than keen to sit just about anywhere, between the baking heat of the artificial sun and the sea water-wet crowd they have to fight through twice just to come away with their hands full. He's glad he'd asked for the extras, then, not keen to manage that again, and is all too happy to settle into one of a pair of lounge chairs facing the surf. Complete with a wide parasol overhead and tiny table to connect them, even. ]

So you've been gone for awhile. You just hiding somewhere, or you find a way out only to get caught?

[ The question is asked amiably before he takes a swig of beer. The mango drink is left to melt in the heat for a little longer, white chocolate truffle fairing even more poorly than the ice cubes. He is curious though about whether the latter is the truth, whether it's actually possible to escape from here rather than win one's way out, even if it comes at the risk of being hunted down. The Watches probably come equipped with some kind of locator signal, making that a losing game, but if escape is possible it just becomes a matter of removing the watch. And it might be a terrible thing that he comes from a place where he has access to the technology and the financial means to make sacrificing a limb a reasonable risk to take if it means getting out of here. ]

[bedroll]

[ It's a lie to even consider that he doesn't enjoy the sound, at least a little, when Prompto finally crests that hill. Or maybe more of a mountain, for the way his whole body slumps at the end of it, enough that Gladio feels the instinctive need to immediately put both arms around him, to hold him up and in place in his lap. While only one of them pants—and maybe rightly so, given all that Gladio knows about what that feeling is like—there's still a sheen of sweat over his own skin too, a bead of it forming at his temple to trickle down. It's impossibly hot in this changing room now, between the sun and the closeness and effort in just getting Prompto back to clarity. It's a lie, too, to claim that he doesn't feel some lingering shame in it all, even if he understands it was necessary, between the unadulterated effects on his own body, giving away some small amount of interest and enjoyment despite anything his mouth might say. ]

I'm fine.

[ He says it anyway, only managing a flicker of eye contact before he too looks away. At least the curtain for a door provides some measure of an excuse to have his eyes elsewhere...as if training his gaze at their laps is any better. But he's gotten pretty good at ignoring that when it's necessary, even in situations where it's hardly been in his best interest to ignore it. Ironic, the things one unlearns in the right circumstances. ]

We all got a taste of that a few months ago, without having to eat anything. This place has some kinda switch for people, they flip whenever they feel like it, but it hits everyone a little differently. Depends on what mark you get. [ A pause, and surreptitious swallow, of more words, maybe, or just his nerves. ]

You feelin' better at least?

[cartographie]

[ On the verge of asking for more details about the mountains – she's a sucker for landmasses like that – Nami's train of thought derails when Hilda mentions flying. Both eyebrows shoot up as her eyes round in surprise. ]

Your world has airships? [ As fascinated as she is, and likely always will be, about the geography of other worlds, air travel is equally interesting.

That Hilda meets Nami's interest with curiosity of her own is oddly flattering, and she finds herself shaking her head at the question before answering with an odd sense of pride. ]

There are maps of the four oceans, but not the whole world. Almost nobody makes it all the way around the Grand Line.

Kazuya-!

[That was definitely going to leave a mark for a good, long while. The sort of genetic modifications Natsume's had are meant more along the lines for encounters that would otherwise break a normal human during the breeding process itself; it wouldn't be the first time he came out of it rather scuffed up. He's under the impression that Kazuya is human though, so he hasn't thought to mention that until he figures out something with the staff here... Breeding him isn't entirely an impossibility. Does Plan B work on demon spawn?

That aside, Natsume is moving with Kazuya to meet every thrust. At some point his face has dropped to press against the mattress, muffling the moans coming out of him as he balls his fists into the sheets. There's no mistaking what's going on in here if someone happened to walk by. Hell, the windows were open and Natsume couldn't bring himself to care, it felt so good, so right. Let the world see who his mate was, see how Natsume reveled in every thrust that pushed into him just right. He can be bashful about it later.]
