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.

HELP...

[erbe]

[...How unpleasant to be mistaken for someone else. The arm around his waist falls away, and she takes a step back away from the previously bullied man.]

You have mistaken me for someone else, I believe.

[erbe]

[The expression on Tohsaka's face sours the moment she hears him.]

Magecraft is my life's work. I wouldn't lie about it like that. Blood and saliva work just as well, but the concentration is lower. My reading won't be as accurate with those offerings.

Re: truly-

[snakelace]

…Does it involve your little friends, then?

[ Because he’s not sure he wants to get freaky with tentacles anytime soon. Even if he’s perfectly amenable to sex otherwise. ]

[dreamunchained]

So it all ultimately doesn't matter, huh... I see.

[Firefly nods in the next best thing to understanding she can muster, given she still doesn't understand a single damn thing.]

Soooo, was it... the same kinda stuff as this?

[She ventures carefully, trying to gauge what in general "stuff" was without prying too deeply into Stelle's business. From the way she's been speaking, it sounds an awful lot like she's been in this exact same situation before... which means, uh... the same basic requirements?]

YUSUKE.................

[izanagis]

[He drives a hard bargain, that's for sure. Yu has to think about his options, here.

>Refuse, maybe ask someone else
>Strip right here on the beach
>Say something dumb, I guess

Who is he kidding, of course it's that option. It's always going to be that option.]

You'd really have me go practically naked like that? I wouldn't want to get in trouble.

[Of all the places where that would be allowed or even encouraged, saying that in this place may be the dumbest thing of all.]

[wray]

[ Six doesn't know what to do with so much room, so extending the offer to someone who needed it only made sense. He doubts these arrangements are permanent anyway. More than likely, they'll be forced out one way or another, or maybe the resort will find a way to mess things up again. Who knows.

That said, he was currently busying himself with looking outside the window to admire the sunny view when Rin comes back from wherever she went. His ears perk up, turning to look at what she brought with her. ]

You didn't need to bring me a treat, [ he didn't extend the offer because he wanted something ] but I appreciate the thought.

[ He comes to stop by the tabletop. ]

Do you know which drink this is?

[flashfirefist]

Touya.

[He can't help saying it again. And maybe it is a prayer. He had prayed for Touya for so many years. In memory of Touya, for his guilt over what he had done, and for Touya to return. Now that Touya is back, it's like an answered prayer, even if it's a cruel one. And as ashamed and miserable as he is because of his actions in the past, Enji can't help but feel a small but undeniable delight at the fact that Touya is alive.

Because he is alive, in spite of what he says on the matter. Touya isn't that child anymore, but he's still Touya. It doesn't matter what state he's in: to Enji, this is still his son.

He stares up at Touya. He makes no move, offensive or defensive. He sits still, looking at his son. There's agony in his expression, but no disgust. Instead, there's an openness, a flicker of vulnerable softness—a mixture of sorrow and something else. He can't school his expression when he looks at Touya. He can only watch him, studying his movements, listening to his laughter.]

I am, somehow.

[If Touya wants to mock him, that's fine. After fighting All For One, he's sure he doesn't look his best, even after the suspect medical treatment he's received here. The loss of his arm was only one of the injuries he'd suffered in battle. He hasn't had much time to rest or recuperate, coming directly from his conflict with the villain.

At the sound of the word father, he clenches his jaw.]

I don't know. I didn't ask to be here.

[He doesn't want to be here. He wants to go back, to continue fighting until the end, although he doesn't know what that end will be.]

your wish is my command

[starcinoma]

[ there are people in her room.

she really should expect this by now. it happened in her last dream. it happened in penacony. and from the looks of things, it's going to happen in the third... hedonism hotel.

at least she's in good company...? ]

I feel like we've done this before.

[nonvoting]

[ ah. rufus crosses one leg over the other and tseng's mouth floods wet and ravenous with desire. he is beginning to lose the battle with himself, the battle to keep himself from visibly hardening under rufus' scrutiny. he can feel his cock twitch and begin to swell, despite the slow, calming breath he takes in an effort to tame his body again. he is a wild thing, untethered; he is leashed to rufus' whims. ]

Sir. [ tseng takes a step closer, and then another, until he's slightly to the left of rufus' crossed legs. close enough that rufus could reach out and press the palm of his hand flat to tseng's chest if he wanted to.

at this distance, and in this light, it would be impossible for rufus to miss the way that tseng's eyes blown dark with arousal. he fixes his gaze on rufus, and then allows it to trail slowly down the long, pale line of rufus' throat, over the dip where his clavicles meet, over the exposed plane of his chest and stomach—and then up again to meet his eyes again. ]

Permission to speak freely?

[flashfirefist]

[Enji glances at Childe, with a nod. He's unused to the way things go here, and he's also extremely stubborn about not doing things other people's way. He despises the sense of invasion apparent in the fact that pieces of his furniture are here, as if someone's been rifling through his possessions. He's a private person, and he takes it as an insult.]

New is one word for it.

[Everything here is new to Enji, but in the least pleasant way possible. He can only hope that at least this isn't a delusion his enemies have trapped him in to render him unable to fight, powerless to protect his colleagues and the citizenry. Yet even if it isn't... that doesn't make things much better. He still isn't where he's supposed to be.]

Not that I've seen, either.

[There's just furniture, and the sand and sea... Though he doesn't deny that he himself can be dangerous. Not that he has any intention of being so to the other people who were brought here. No, he should be able to help them, and he's frustrated that he hasn't been able to, thus far.]

It's the place itself that's treacherous.

i-b.

[hasode]

[ why everyone is so intent on breaking watermelons open with their buttocks alone is honestly beyond chiori, who finds herself sitting next to him while sipping on one of those canned drinks. with the wide brimmed hat and sarong she'd borrowed from one of those statues, she almost looks as if she'd planned to come here all along rather than finding herself waking up in one of those bungalows. not the best experience by far, but certainly not the worst.

there's an amused chuckle at what he says as she watches the current challenger walk up to the watermelon. ]

I'll have to respectfully decline, Your Grace. I'm afraid my assets [ hah ] aren't quite up to par. But perhaps you could give it a try. I'm sure yours are more than adequate.

[keyeju]

[ Even? For...? Ah, for saving this kid from the dildos, huh? Technically speaking it was Narumi who had unleashed them in the first place, so he'd never considered any of the people he 'rescued' from them as having owed him much of anything. In all honesty, if he saves someone from something attacking them, he doesn't consider them in his debt either, regardless of whether the attacking thing is his immediate responsibility or not.

He's not going to correct him about it though, because it means that he got away with having sticky fingers to take care of a burning tongue.

Speaking of, while Narumi not so subtle breathes through his mouth, like the air is somehow going to help cool off the burn, he gives Fuuta a sharp look for daring to question him on this one. ]

Clean out your ears sometime. I just said that myself, didn't I?

[ He forces his mouth shut with a small grimace, before pulling off an unpleasant smile. ]

But why not try them yourself and tell me what you think instead?

[ He has no idea what Fuuta's spice tolerance is, and if the kid can handle more than he can. He's hoping not, but he hopes that Fuuta's the kind of guy to fall for goading.

Just to really drive it home though... ]

I mean since it's not that spicy, I'm sure you could handle it too.

[starcinoma]

[ for a moment, stelle doesn't say anything. maybe she won't even elaborate. maybe this is just one step too far for her delicate constitution...?

and then she says: ]

Yeah. Sex, mostly. [ a beat. ] Some other stuff, too...? You got to choose that part, though.

Penacony reunion 2024

[emeinator]

Oh.

[Yeah. Oh. They've definitely done this before, hadn't they? She was resolutely sure that this was her room, but now that the familiar scene is unraveling before her...] Is this your room? [:( Is this not her room? Where is her room???]

I was outside earlier. I was returning to my room to rest for a moment. [She looks at Aventurine before turning her gaze to Stelle.]

This isn't my room is it?

[izanagis]

[It would be easy, he thinks, to get lost in this feeling. This place. Yu could spend hours or even days here looking for people he knows, searching for people he misses...in this moment, more than he can really put into words. He has seen exactly none of them, though, and somehow -- it hurts more than it probably should.

Instead he finds--] Akechi?

[And alongside, or maybe even instead of, the trepidation the Detective Prince's presence make him feel, he's almost relieved. The solitude felt almost absolute, punctuated by memories of home that have been frustratingly insistent.

So-- at least he's not alone.]

This is a surprise, [but at the same time, he quickens his pace to bridge the distance between them.]

[macaronage]

Sylvain?

[ She remembers him. He'd done some incredible things to her in a closet.

Grabbing his shoulders, she pulls him down and crushes her lips to his, her body burning up with need.

So, y'know. Hope that answers his question. ]

[erbe]

Don't be ridiculous.

[A hand lifts up to push back her glasses into place using the frames.]

I'm clearly not stealing anything. This is all voluntary, and if you're not interested you can leave.

[Ah. This is exactly why (other than the glasses) Rin strives to make herself a picture perfect example of conventional attractiveness. Because her attitude isn't all that great, she strives to look good. Which is obvious in the way her hair is carefully styled, her skin well cared for, and her nails diligently manicured. A good image to make up for a nasty personality.]

[lieabilities]

[ He'll glance down at the wary inquiry, as if noticing said tentacles for the first time. How did those end up there! Said tentacles seem to perk at the mention, but slump again upon hearing the caution in his tone and a few more disappear back into the shadows, leaving only a couple visibly left out. ]

[ For his part, Kleken offers his best 'reassuring type' smile, waving a hand as if to dismiss their obvious presence. ]

Only if you are so inclined. But I wouldn't do anything you didn't ask for.

[ Kiana's not one to shy away from strange circumstances, especially not now that she's transcended humanity and all - really, her whole journey and the story she's told along the way could be said to have all led up to this:

The moment where she has to compliment a bunch of really sexy seagull lifeguards on their amazingly sculpted bodies. Though it's really less "has to" and more "she simply could not let beautiful things go unpraised", something that she has spent the past five minutes deciding is definitely her duty.

But as she doles out the compliments, more and more guards appear to receive one or two or three or twenty. While time and speed aren't issues for her, she's definitely running out of things to say - there's only so many times she can tell people the same things about how good their six pack is, you know? And as she falls behind, the gulls become more and more ornery, crowding her even more...so she does what any self-respecting baby goddess would do.

Points at the nearest non-seagull passerby and/or gawker and starts yelling! ]

Hey, you! Help me out here! I'll take the ten on the left and you take the ten on the right!

II. Beach Bunny (potentially NSFW)

[ Being stuck on the moon with only one's own (very subpar) cooking and the occasional gift from distant friends really leaves a person with a deep hunger. Most people in Kiana's situation, of course, would just be happy they don't actually need to eat - but those people don't understand living a life where food is the second or third most amazing thing in the world.

So of course the first thing she does on hitting the beach is beeline for the barbecue. Without any reservations she tears into a skewer, barely noticing the effects it has on her as she gathers even more food to arrange in front of herself and admire - food that she has trouble eating because every time someone else walks by she instantly gets distracted and shouts a compliment at them. For anyone who looks masculine, it's just a general compliment - nice hair, nice clothes, nice gains - but for anyone feminine-leaning she just crudely shouts out a rating, the same one for everyone - ]

Eight point five out of ten!

III. Scavenger Hunt (Also The One Where She's Mean)

[ Later, Kiana's lounging on the beach beneath a parasol - unlike the carefree and adventurous way she was carrying herself earlier in the day, she now seems cold and distant, with sort of an imperious aura about her. Her eyes have also changed from blue to gold, and far from sleeping or dreaming - she's scanning the beach as if hunting for something, like a predator lying in ambush.

Eventually, she seems like she's found what she's looking for, pointing: ]

You. Your queen demands your service.

IV. Wildcard + OOC Notes

Hello, everyone! Kiana here is a CRAU from another smut game by the name of Sweet Suite. She's not particularly different from canon, however, beyond being more able to roll with the punches presented by being in a Sex Hotel™. I won't have her recognize any characters without explicit permission, so no worries about that!

Though as a note for Star Rail people because of HYV's HYVness she will see similarities between many of those characters (like Seele) and people she just knows in canon (like.....Seele). Of course, if you also want to opt out of that just let me know!

Also: for prompts 1 and 2 she is Normal Kiana and is wearing this, for 3 she is the Herrscher of the Void and wearing this.

[Jokes on you, the only delicate part of Firefly's constitution is the Entropy Loss Syndrome! In fact, the comment makes her blow air out of her mouth in a sort of sound akin to a raspberry, expression knit with exasperation. This wasn't exactly a topic she was well versed in practically speaking, all things considered, but considering the things she did in the name of the script and the amount of blood on her hands, this is really the bottom of the barrel of horrible things to ask her to do.]

Well, that's no good.

[She puts her hands on her hips, sighing. There was time to feel embarrassed about the situation later, when she didn't need to figure things out.]

And this is non-negotiable?

( It's a relief that he wakes so easily. If she had been left with silence, who knows what she would have had to do to stir him. As it is, though, she finishes her descent from the ladder, a gentle hand over her own chest showing her nervousness at the situation. Despite that, when she speaks, her voice is calm and soothing. )

I am Sangonomiya Kokomi, and I'm afraid I've found myself here without a realization as to why...

( There's a pause, and then a shift, as her hands move to indicate her Watch. )

Aside from the message sent to me on this, that is. Did you really enter this place of your own will?

[sleepyone]

[Then perish-]

Well said.

[Marina unloads the whole water pistol between the eyes and all over his hair. It's not sea water, but ice cold fresh water from one of the drinking stations. An upfront shock, but ultimately pretty refreshing!]

[ Kyoko's somebody with very little sense of shame to begin with, so the swimsuit is doing just enough.

She's been here long enough to not trust the random assortment of foods that've been set out for them, choosing to eat elsewhere before checking out the beach.

She observes the blush on this woman's cheeks and wonders if it's the heat or if it's something she consumed here. ]

It's the first time we've met. My name is Kyoko.

[starcinoma]

...I guess I still need to take the intro tour.

[ that's as close to a "yes" as you're going to get, topaz. guide away - she's listening. ]
