TDM 04





【 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. Some very special guests may even receive both challenges — or continuously receive a new challenge when the last 24 hours is up. The resort just wants you to have the most fun possible!

    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.

    BLANKET CW: alcohol; altered states; aphrodisiacs; breeding urge; delusions; forced clotheswearing; hallucinations; harassment and bullying; jealousy; thalassophobia; transformation; unreality

    ▶ All characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. The house is still observing and deciding. As rank and suits are assigned upon acceptance your character's suit will not manifest until they are accepted into the game.

    ▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's June event. The beach will ICly be present from June 15th - June 30th.

    ▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.

    ▶ The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are prioritized and receive attention!

    ▶ If you aren't satisfied with these prompts, please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort! There are recent additions to the locations page as well, for those who have yet to see them!

    ▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!

    ▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.

    ▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.

    ▶ Don't forget your sunscreen! We'd hate for any chicken wings to come out burnt.

    stelle gets in a flex-off despite being woefully unequipped.
    [ there's a bit of a disturbance on the beach - one the lifeguards have flocked to. nobody's drowning, and nobody's fighting. so what is it that's causing the commotion...?

    getting close enough to see (a rough task with the mewing gulls all around) makes it clear: a challenge of strength has been issued. an impromptu flexoff. tickets to the gun show. a swolegull is striking poses, flexing and making shrill calls, and in front of him-

    well. a silent, blank-faced woman is mirroring his poses, to the amazement and delight of the still-gathering crowd. what has caught their attention so? is it her toned, slender figure? the gold-lined scarring under her top? her audacity in merely issuing this challenge? or is she simply the first person to play along with a bunch of birds for this long?

    she doesn't show any signs of stopping. this is getting stupid. please help her.

    stelle shoves a bunch of aphrodisiacs into her mouth at once.
    cw: drugs/aphro, likely sex, possible dubcon
    [ if there's one thing you need to know about stelle, it's this: free stuff is free stuff. that includes quest rewards. that includes garbage. and it absolutely, positively includes spiked food.

    she has made a whole platter of delicacies, and she appears to be trying them one bite at a time mix-and-match style. her cheeks are red. she's shifting from foot to foot. some of the "food" may be rocks she picked up along the beach, and it looks like she's about to the point where she wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    approach her at your own peril, guests. she can't be held responsible for what happens at this point.

    a bea[c]h and a fairytail
    stelle looks a bit different in her dreams.
    cw: possible sex, possible animalistic genitalia
    [ wherever you've chosen to sit, it looks like stelle's beaten you to the punch: she is out by the time you take your seat. at least she's not the worst sleeper - she murmurs a few sounds, her lips stay faintly parted, and her feet shuffle in a way that doesn't look quite right on a human body, but there's no snoring or anything like that. just normal stuff. you know.

    and then you arrive in the dreamscape, and a whole-ass fairy is waiting for you. she is easily six-foot-something. she has wings. there are flowers throughout her hair and tail, and little gold tips to her hooves. she looks up, her expression as calm as ever, and just asks-

    First time?

    ooc information
    [ hey there, guests! stelle is being taken with crau from a previous smut game, sweet suite, which has changed... surprisingly little, past the third prompt. she will never recognize characters without express permission and is honestly just here to complete as many quests as is humanly possible. if you want a custom starter or just to ask things, feel free to ping at either beelzebae/nebellung on plurk or discord (whichever one appears online!).

    also my only no is dental trauma so go wild.
    also also she's wearing this in each of these.
    also (x3) i'm playing her as a trans girl, which - given her own circumstances of "birth" - will really only affect smut threads in any meaningful way. more information can be provided at request.

    [ Aventurine had mentioned that the Nameless were here, and he name dropped Dan Heng. And now Stelle is here.

    In true Stelle style, she's as audacious as ever. Although a flex off with seagull-headed lifeguards is better than finding her waist deep in a trash can, so she'll thank the Aeons for that.

    Considering her options, the reasonable thing would be to stop Stelle, but who can put the breaks on such an unstoppable force? Furthermore, when the seagull lifeguards have been such a nuisance, why should they be allowed to win? Choosing chaos is the answer. ]

    one second, stelle is impassive, impartial, impressive - like a rock with a scar on its weirdly human chest, or a statue except-actually-it's-a-person. the next, that facade cracks as she turns away, and the gullmen swarm. she is covered in an instant, blocked beneath a solid layer of coo-ing and shoving idiots in speedos.

    [Her SAM suit denied from her for the time being, Firefly was significantly on edge despite the sunny and fun atmosphere this place was trying to forcefully promote. Her fingers clenched and unclenched at her sides as she walked along the beach with a serious expression and narrow gaze, eyes rapidly scanning around her for any sign of someone she knew-- Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf.... Stelle. Anyone would do, really, though she had an order of preference given the circumstances at hand as far as she understood them, albeit still being in the denial stage about it all.

    It doesn't take long to come across the commotion, though. It was hard to miss visually or audibly, with how much of a cheering crowd had come to form around whatever it was that was happening within. Worth investigating, she supposed, given the lack of anything else noticeable around at the current moment. Luckily she was far from short (that was Silver Wolf's job) and was able to poke her head through the crowd with ease, expression of vague curiosity morphing into one of vague exasperation mixed with intense relief when she realized just what exactly was going on. Of course Stelle was here, and of course she was immediately going along with whatever shenanigans were thrown her way, always as endearing as she was completely and utterly silly.

    Should she... say something? She didn't want to interrupt, maybe Stelle had a plan behind all this? Winning information of some sort, perhaps? She was just going to navigate the crowd to angle herself where Stelle could see her, tilting her large floppy hat back to make her face more visible as she stood towards the front of the crowd, arms crossed. There.... surely she'd see her now, and she'd be able to silently call her attention? Firefly tilts her head back and to the side as she looks at Stelle, almost a sort of "let's get a move on" gesture, but offers a soft smile alongside it.]

    [ you never know what sort of twists the path of trailblaze will throw your way. one moment, stelle is having a perfectly reasonable time in a muscle-off she is sorely underprepared for, and the next you see someone that leaves you at a loss for words.

    still, she recovers quickly enough, giving one last flex - an extra vigorous one, just to make her point - before walking off to firefly. the gullmen scream behind her, as if she's just delivered some terrible blow to the man she was facing off against; he falls to his knees, balling his curiously muscled hands into fists and punching the dirt with a plaintive coo.

    and stelle, coolgirl that she is, doesn't bother looking back. she just jogs over to firefly, murmuring quietly-

    [Damn.... cool girls don't look at explosions. She can't help but cover her mouth with her hand to try to conceal the larger smile and slight giggle that escapes at the whole display, the first time she's actually felt at all relaxed or otherwise normal since she got here. When Stelle approaches and speaks, she looks up at her and gives a nod of affirmation.]

    I'm here, and so are you.

    [Firefly offers another smile, expression gentle. Something feels a little different about the Nameless in front of her, but she can't quite put a finger on it... though ultimately, it didn't really matter.]

    Though I'm still a bit confused as to what "here" is, entirely.

    Seeing someone I know change their appearance in the dreamscape? ( well. ) Isn't that what "paradise" is for?

    ( no shade, though, mr. sunday.

    the very obvious, well, fairy in the room, aventurine prefers to take in their surroundings, first. at least the dreamscapes of penacony were more flexible, even the ones provided by dr. edward. it's the same beach, seems like, with faceless guests and staff, when they were actually around at all.

    when he had found his trailblazer friend laying asleep under the refreshing shade provided by the umbrella above, aventurine decided to keep her company, wait until she rose... only to find himself dozing off. the rest is still to be written, though he can tell one thing, at least: the uncomfortable feeling of wrestling control over his own emotions is back, because of course it is. isn't this kind of thing just on par with how the resort runs?

    at least, ironically - no. this isn't his first time, in any way. )


    So, tell me more, my friend. ( addressing the fairy in the room - haha get it. ) Is this your "ideal self", or maybe close to it? A hobby? I won't judge.

    [ a chuckle - or, well, what passes for one from the taciturn trailblazer. a quick breath, an exhale through her nose, a slight upward turn to her lips. it's not like he's wrong, exactly. she's even tried it out a few times before. listening to pom-pom berate her, asking the front desk for potions on a whim... it's fun. a little minigame to play in these dreams outside the dream.

    right now, though, she has better things to do than correct him on minutiae.

    ( the parasols fill up fast, as it turns out. maybe today is simply a day of napping; maybe in the high heat of the pseudo-noon, nobody wants to be out in the sun any longer. whatever the truth of it is, kirma thinks little of taking the seat next to stelle, doing his best to stay quiet and avoid disturbing her. he’d only meant to sit for a bit, not sleep, but—

    there he is in the dream, squinting upwards at someone better recognized by scent than appearance. a glance around at their surroundings hardly helps clarify things. clearing his throat, he can only think to ask: )


    A girin?

    ( the answer is no, not quite. the word fairy would be a new addition to his lexicon, though, and while he’s never seen such a mystical beast in person, he can only shrug and say that it’s possible all the depictions he’s seen have forgotten the wings.

    [ look, here's the deal: stelle doesn't know a girin from a qilin from a kirin. possibly more importantly, she also doesn't know who the fuck this guy is... not that that's a particular issue for her, historically speaking. but most importantly of all?

    he's asked her an easily provable question where any lie would be utterly disbelievable. and that means-
    ]

    Yes. [ a beat. ] Maybe even taller.

    [ -that she's just been given free reign to be a dumbass. ]

    [ dan heng feels very much like a fish out of water-- especially considering the swimsuit that was forced upon him with little regard for his own comfort or taste for that matter. this is already not the type of scene he prefers to find himself in and now with his decidedly silly swimwear, he finds himself even more hyperaware of his surroundings.

    everything is far too loud and lively, he finds, overwhelming with all the festivities. it is while he's trying to find somewhere to take a moment of reprieve that he spots a familiar head of grey hair, standing with rocks in hand as if she's about to eat them-- ]


    Stelle? Don't eat that.

    [ he approaches her quickly, holding onto her wrist to stop her from shoving a rock in her mouth-- she can't keep eating everything she finds wherever she goes..... ]

    [ at first, stelle says nothing - but even then, between her relieved smile and the way her gaze lingers on his hands, she's getting plenty across. it's only after a moment's silence that she finally speaks: ]

    Why not? They help with digestion.

    [ that's. that's ostriches, stelle. that's crocodiles and land fowl that eat rocks. but joking misunderstandings aside, she doesn't seem particularly upset by his intrusion, and after a moment she adds- ]

    ...I'm glad you're here.

    [ it wouldn't feel right without him. ]

    [ with all the ruckus, it's hard not to look. already leisurely steps gradually slow, blade's gaze drifting from the scenery to the commotion in his peripheral. given where they are, he expects to see a very different scene before him. it takes a moment for him to even register what's happening, but once he recognizes who is at the center his expectations shift and all that's left is acceptance.

    this is exactly who the trailblazer is. a person who is incomprehensible in every way, yet possessing an undeniable presence.

    for a while, he simply watches the spectacle. but his attention eventually shifts to his side, and when he finds nothing he turns to approach stelle instead. ]


    It's you. [ sorry, he isn't going to tell her to stop! ]
    starcinoma: (062)

    so sorry for delay, i'm. trying to force myself awake with more caffeine

    [personal profile] starcinoma 2024-06-30 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
    [ it's you.

    there's a lot of things that can be said in few words - and stelle is, arguably, the master of this silent communication. a nod can signal excitement or resolute acceptance; a quiet exhalation can mean contentment or frustration. and it's you can mean-

    well. recognition, for one thing. faint amusement, perhaps. maybe even a mild distaste for her antics. but even as the subtleties remain shrouded in mystery, there is no doubt left to any onlooker that the two of them recognize one another. and so, she makes a gesture of her own to emphasize their shared past. a gesture to say "neither of us can remember, and yet we share that connection nonetheless."



    nah i'm just fucking with you. she turns to blade and just. continues to flex while she stares dead on at him.

    [It's been long enough that the sight of an "old" friend is welcome as it is surprising. Jing Yuan isn't immune to the draw of a crowd, being a man who was always observing everything around, so he ends up in the midst of the crowd while idly eating his newly acquired sweet ice cream treat.

    He smiles at her over the heads of some other shorter guests, gives her a friendly wave, and raises his voice:]


    Do a flip!

    [He licks the ice cream in his hand.]

    [ she knows that voice. she even knows that tone. these are familiar things, things she could expect.

    what she isn't expecting is seeing the general of the xianzhou luofu, in a bathing suit, idly eating some ice cream.
    ]

    General...?

    [ the gulls sense weakness. the mewing grows louder. stelle glances back, fear crossing her expression - but only for a moment. it's about establishing dominance, after all. and she knows exactly what to do:

    a flip.
    ]

    Yes, sir!

    [ she crouches. she flexes her skinny arms. and with a mighty push off the sand, she leaps into a front flip.




    and then she absolutely wipes out face first into the sand, just like everyone involved expected. sorry, stelle. that wasn't the correct choice for that conversation branch.
