[goldmods]

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

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

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

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY

A BRAND NEW DEVELOPMENT

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

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

IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE

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

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

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

THOSE WHO POUND SAND

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

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

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

FUN IN THE SUN

DON'T FORGET TO OIL UP

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

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

THE BEACH BUNNY BARBECUE BONANZA

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

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

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

A SHOW OF STRENGTH

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

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

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

DAYDREAM PARASOLS

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

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

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

NOTES

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

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

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

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

TWINKLING CURRENTS

THE PARTY NEVER STOPS

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

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

SWIM UP TO THE BAR

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

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

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

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

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

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

ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY

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

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

SANDY SCAVENGING

A GAME OF BEACHES

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

INTO THE DEPTHS

IT'S HIGH TIDE WE GET OUT OF HERE

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

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

TUMBLING DOWN

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

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

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

A RISING FLOOD

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

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

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

NOTES

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

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

Comments

[endyourstory]

I missed you too! You don't have to feel bad about it.

[ she giggles, patting Stelle on the head and tugging her toward a nearby outcropping. yeah, she actually doesn't really have the patience to trudge all the way back and through the hotel, either. years of being able to punch holes in spacetime really does a number on the desire to use any other form of transportation. ]

And...it's just Kiana right now, I guess. K-423. Other Sirin. None of the fancy titles, though.

[artcritic]

[Yusuke offers no other smart-ass comment on the topic of feet, should the things turn a weird angle. They tend to do in this place.

He huffs at the question and lays fully back in bed, tempted to turn around in defiance.]

I don't know and I am not eager to find out. [If he remains in bed, whatever it is outside won't reach him. Best logic ever.]

[philancer]

You're definitely running away.

[ Long fingers wrap around her ankle when she presses her foot to his bare chest, trapping it in place and now she's really not running anywhere. Not unless she decides to suplex him or something. ]

I just don't know why you're running away. You just got here. Surely I couldn't have done something to offend you already?

[ That would be talented, even for him. ]

[flashfirefist]

[Enji pauses before the buoy where Gen has taken refuge. Hovering in midair, he remains relatively steady, assessing the other man. He guesses it likely that this person had an idea similar to his own. Neither of them met with great success, it appears, but Enji appreciates that someone else had taken a similar initiative. He nods briefly at the comment.]

I can take you back to shore.

[He dislikes the idea of leaving anyone out here, especially when the currents are so dangerous and unpredictable.]

Do you have any injuries?

[The man seems unhurt, but he should make sure, if he might be transporting him.]

[dreamunchained]

[As far as Firefly is concerned this is a dream now and no one will tell or convince her otherwise, thank you. Easier to handle that way mentally, anyways!! This bug has enough problems with her anxiety as it is.

Unfortunately, Firefly seems to be seriously contemplating her advice for that matter, and she returns her smile with a smile of her own, cocking her head a little to the side as she does so.]

Well. Gotta just take it one step at a time, right? I'm sure it'll all work out.

[malpwactice]

[When Fuuta looks at him, Aak wonders if he messed the game up immediately. It's not like he has any idea who Fuuta would hang out with normally. He constantly fell into the web of troublemakers so acting like normal felt natural. When he starts speaking again, Aak tries to pick up any little detail he can. Not like that, someone named Muu, the way she treats you...]

[He follows when Fuuta urges him closer. A part of him wants to take Fuuta's hand for the reaction but that's sacrificing the long game. Instead, he stands only a few inches away, shoulder-to-shoulder.]

N- [Not "nah."] No. I was just walking along the beach. We're not... going to get hurt here, are we?

[He tries a more shy approach. If it was someone who hung around a rougher type, if it was someone Fuuta felt protective over... Aak's mental picture is some shivering schoolgirl maiden. He's not a good enough actor to play that but he can at least sound unsure.]

[wingdoovers]

[ What a proper and slightly irritating young lady. Turning around and leaving sounds like the better option, really, but unfortunately she's wearing a very small bikini with a ponytail and he weights that kind of thing more than could be called wise. ]

I'm not accusing you of theft.

I'm just wondering whether you're going to secret our secretions away and use them for nefarious purposes.

Can you swear me one of your wizard oaths that you won't use my essence in any dread curses or homonculi or... you know, stuff like that?

[ The sound of someone who lacks relevant information convincing himself to do something he wants to for questionable reasons. ]

And I get... paid for this, right? That's how it works?

LISTEN.... XDD

[artcritic]

[Yusuke gives him a very, very long, expresionless look. Then motions with his hand at the rest of the beach and people being half naked.

Some even completely naked.]

I am sure we can find you a replacement. Not that anyone would even blink at the fact that you are naked.

eiden | nu: carnival | new (re-apping)

[silicone]

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY

[ eiden doesn’t recall the moment he became a statue, all he knows now is he’s awake, learning about the whole ‘overbooking’ causing them to end up on the beach. really, it’s not a bad way to find himself starting again - unassigned. and he was kind of getting used to it, too. damn. part of him worries - about the people he left behind, but he knows he needs to kind of process himself first, get his bearings again.

so eiden can be found, dressed in one of those light linen robes sporting some beautiful tropical flowers in blue and lilac. his hair is freshly wet from a shower and he’s just looking around, either keeping his eyes out for familiar faces, and in general just scoping everything out. with every kiss of the breeze, the robe flicks just a little higher than he’d like but… that just seems to be the nature of this place, huh?

anyways - come catch up? hi? ]

FUN IN THE SUN

Bunny BBQ
[ ok, to be fair, he woke up hungry. of course he’s taking some time out of his afternoon to have a seat and mull things over with some food. that being said, it doesn’t really take long for him to finish his meal, the heat of it lingering on his tongue, a warmth surging pleasantly through his body - limbs heavy, head heavier with a singular thought: fuck (expletive and literal).

it’s not unfamiliar to him - the idea of “mating” and knowing what all that entails. (he knows a guy who happens to be a big fan of that particular line of shaking things up horizontally.)

so his brown eyes linger over whoever might be passing nearby after he’s departed and cleaned up, maybe to find a drink elsewhere, maybe to sit beneath some shade - appreciating the human form, of course, he’s a designer with an artful eye. but… also he might just be in need, apparent from where the skimpy beachwear that’d been given to him is now betraying him. a flush over his face certainly betrays him. the linen robe is most definitely open, fallen down his shoulders,

why would he have any other thoughts? fucking? fucking sounds great. it sounds perfect. he might lean or sway a little into your space if you seem interested, tilting his head. he might just be holding up a bottle of sun screen delicately in his hand. ]

You got some time to spare? I need a little help and you look like you’ve got just the hands.

[ after that, a smaller, second tube follows. and it’s clear that’s just lubricant. because if it wasn’t obvious, you are being propositioned. ]

Daydream Parasols
[ i’m down to have some fun with dream things if you’d like. feel free to wildcard eiden into a dream or to throw us into the horny void… be self indulgent… ]

TWINKLING CURRENTS

Swim Up To The Bar
[ the swim up bar is pleasantly refreshing - reverse mermaids and all because why not. he’ll definitely be sampling quite a few of the offerings here:

holding on to summer is already a winner, because this is your opportunity to enjoy an underwater blow job? one where he doesn’t actually have to hold his breath. he certainly offers it, an easy curl of the lips as he sidles over. ]

Let's take the effects of this for a test run, hm?

[ threads could always always start mid-make out underwater because i think that’s pretty /chef’s kiss

i’m open to any of the other flavors of course but figured i’d offer this one to start! ]

SANDY SCAVENGING

Scavenger Hunt: Hard Mode (NSFW)
[ well. this would happen. eiden’s not so sure how ‘random’ it actually is, these selections, but he thinks this could have maybe happened on a way better day! in any case, eiden is down to play with anyone who happens to be caught up in the unfortunate situation, finding someone who might look eager to start filling out these requirements with a laugh. ]

You get saddled with one of these too? Take your pick. I mean, unless you’re super into the fuck pillory threat. There are definitely people into that…

[ he is debating whether or not he is talking about himself. hm. don’t mind him, he’ s just. forming a pros and cons list in the back of his mind… ]

OOC
[ it’s. been a while! hello! i have an old permissions post that has some kinks in it for your perusal, but for the most part i am fairly easy-going. all of his preferences are on there as well - in short he’s a cis gay man with a pretty high libido and that may have just been made worse by all the time he’s spent on the klein continent. that and, well, he’s been a statue for a while. so maybe he’s a little pent up? :> let’s goooooo. you can reach me on discord primarily @ gutshot. (with a period)

also 6/17 is eiden's canon birthday so. i think he deserves a treat!!!! ]

team daddy issues let's goooooooooo

[unionized]

Well, that depends.

[It's hard to tell with Rufus sometimes where banter ends and flirting begins — at least, it is under normal circumstances. It turns out it's not difficult at all when he's got the benefits of a fully activated hearts suit influencing him, tilting his remarks in a direction that blunts some of their edge, that fills in an odd sort of warmth that likely wouldn't have been there otherwise.]

Depends on how you compare to a bonfire, that is. Are you as hot as one? Do you smolder like one?

[He looks Sylvain up and down, so deliberately there's absolutely no mistaking the purpose of it.]

[starcinoma]

You're still you, though. Both of you.

[ she stumbles as kiana tugs her, following her with an eagerness to each step. and as soon as they're behind the outcropping-

-yeah, kiana's getting firmly but lovingly pinned against the wall. this is where her tail would be lashing, if she still had it. ]

And... even without fancy titles, I'm just glad you're here with me. [ a smile, and a little kiss. ] Both of you.

[swearfilter]

[Were it anyone else, he might've had to be worried about that, but Acheron? Nah, he can't see her trying to catch a glimpse of whatever he's packing (or not); he's only known her a short while, but that's definitely not the impression she gives off.]

Seems to be the case, yeah. Thanks for waitin'.

[It's said with a bit of humor, given she did show up during his shower. As Boothill said, it doesn't take him very long to finish up - and now he's sand-free! For now, anyway. It feels much better and he finishes off by wringing his hair out before pulling his swim trunks back on. Better than the flimsy robe he was given when he awoke here, anyway.]

Alright, ready. So did you just arrive here a little while ago too?

[theidlemaiden]

[ Don't be silly. It's impossible to suplex him from this position.

Her eyes dart towards the warm fingers wrapped gently but firmly around her ankle and has to ignore the way her pulse jumps at the contact. They've never been this physically close so it isn't because of nostalgia. Then again, maybe it is. She didn't know when she'd see anyone from home again. With the way she rolls her eyes and pushes lightly against his chest again it would be impossible to tell that she feels any homesickness at all.

She offers him a smile that's all sweetness and no bite. There may be a little bit of dryness though. ]

Don't be silly. If memory serves me right, I'm the one that offends you. I'm surprised you even want to spend time with me considering how spoiled you think I am. 

[starcinoma]

[ a smile. a nod. ]

If that's what works best for you.

[ perfect! nice and reassuring. just don't tell her how your first time went. ]

...was this in the script?

[bountyfull]

[ —oh.

Vash is nothing if not observant, despite the front he plays at. He blinks, eyes darting down to the subtle bruise and back to the face of the person he's bumped into. He looks absolutely, positively apologetic a moment later and he waves his hands. ]

Oh. No! That's fine you don't have to. I'm pretty sure they'll take no for an answer! Haha.

[ There's a pause as he steps forward, one hand extended like he intends on placing his hand on the other man's arm. He offers a sheepish grin instead of any actual touch, choosing to keep his hands to himself. ]

Are you hurt? I'm really sorry. Do you need to sit down?

[endyourstory]

Uh-huh. Of course.

[ another giggle once she's pinned, as she leans in to touch her forehead against stelle's. she reaches up with both of her hands, too, to ruffle the other woman's hair excitedly. as sexy as this all is, she's really more glad for the touch over anything - the time between the last dream and this one, back in isolation on the moon, was almost too much to bear. ]

...Yeah! I'm glad you're here, too. I don't know what I'd do in another place like this without someone familiar.

Besides hit on girls, I guess.

[softstoneheart]

[ she doesn't blame him for pushing. It makes perfect sense, since she was so agreeable. If she said "yes," once, why wouldn't she say it again? She's not malicious enough to take pleasure in shutting down someone who's doing their best for the vouchers and payout, but she's putting a sandal'd foot down. ]

Nah, I wannna keep these.

[ Even if sandals are non-negotiable, she's willing to make a counter-offer: ]

Do you already have the five seagull feathers?

iii - gen or nsfw, dealer's choice!

[theidlemaiden]

[ Hilda doesn't have quite the self-preservation that Rahu seems to have. Running away from seagull-headed lifeguards works up an appetite and she's not about to say no to food. Especially when it smells as appetizing as it does. She had never quite understood Raphael's insatiable hunger but she was beginning to understand.

Or maybe that's just the nostalgia talking.

Whatever the reason, she's joined the dark haired woman at the barbeque hut peering at the selection before them. They're practically spoiled for choice. And while she'd err towards the familiar (the rabbit), her eyes can't help but be drawn towards the colourful fruit on offer. ]

Your guess is as good as mine. [ She has to look up to look at the woman. ] But if you're open to it, we could share them and figure it out together?

[ The idea is that if one of them doesn't like it then the other might and nothing would go to waste. ]

[belheir]

Well, at least it's just us two here for the moment.

[Though there's another bunk bed set across from them. There really could have been two more people in here, so at least there's that.]

It could be nice out. There's a breeze from the windows. Kind of smells like the ocean.

[schmisse]

[ That's a very poetic way of looking at things, and Weiss can't help but feel envious as she looks up at the sky and sees monsters from her world and nothing more than that. ]

People born in the month of May are under the Sabyr sign.

Sabyr is a type of Grimm, much like the other constellations in Remnant.

[ It's difficult to point up at the stars when they might be looking at two different things, but she tries to, anyway. ]

That bright star over there, do you see it? It isn't next to any bright stars, but it does connect to a couple that are a little smaller below it.

[ With that, the turns on the drawing app on her Watch, drawing what she remembers of her sign. She then shifts a little closer for Acheron to see the dots she's connected with thin blue lines. ]

It's a... giant cat-like monster with two big fangs up front. [ Now, she shows her teeth and points to her own fangs before moving her hands downwards to show just how big a Sabyr's fangs could be.

It isn't very descriptive. ]

toplevel here!

[artcritic]

[It's not realistic for Yusuke to stay in bed, he's very much aware of that. But he has every right to be grumpy at all the sudden, unwelcome changes.

At the mention of the sea breeze, he sits up again and stares incredulously at the door.]

We are inside the building!

[That better be some kind of cleaning solution.]

[belialedge]

[ Please don't slap him— I mean. ]

Sangonomiya Kokomi... [ The fact that she's so forthcoming about her predicament helps him, let alone her standing with him off the jump. If there's one thing that he values, it's someone that's straightforward with him. It doesn't hurt that her voice is soft and soothing by nature. Sure enough, he doesn't recognize her, careful not to go and hitting his head with his height when he sits upright in his bed, watching her as she raises her wrist to indicate her Watch. ] Man, I figured as much.

[ That she was a newcomer as well. It's safe to say that he doesn't recognize her. Then again, someone as striking in appearance as the divine priestess would be difficult as all hell to miss. ]

My own will? What are you— [ That's when it hits him, gaze broadening some as he recalls back. ] Oh yeah... No. Definitely not.

The last thing I remember when I first got here was sleeping out in a field under the stars. Next time I blinked, I was in some cushy bed wearing a stuffy white tux...

[ He'll just omit the part where he got held at gunpoint by his "bride to be". ]

ii-a swimmies

[silicone]

[ well.

eiden expected to see familiar faces, but there's something about seeing wriothesley in particular looking like he's really in his element here, underneath the water. he's just had his own fair share of holding onto summer, and while he was planning on just floating on through, he instead swims downwards, further, towards him.

so he kicks forward and reaches out towards him - if he lets him, fingertips grazing his arm. his eyes are easy and gentle, and the grin is broad, a silent "hey" with all the warmth. ]

[bountyfull]

Getting you— haha! Maybe! Sorry. Fair is fair, right?

[ Vash has only dealt with suit activation once, and while this certainly feels similar, it's manifested differently, likely due to the kind of company. He feels more than a little impulsive, which explains the uncharacteristic habit of being in someone's personal bubble and touching them without asking. ]

I wasn't completely sure it was you, actually. [ One of those green dragonflies flicks through the air between them, hovering before darting away again, and Vash's attention is briefly drawn to track the wyrm's departure. He pulls his attention back to Sherwood, a mischievous crinkle in the corner of his eyes.

He's noticed the blush, but he doesn't say anything about it, not yet. ]
