[goldmods]

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

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

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

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY

A BRAND NEW DEVELOPMENT

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

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

IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE

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

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

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

THOSE WHO POUND SAND

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

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

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

FUN IN THE SUN

DON'T FORGET TO OIL UP

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

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

THE BEACH BUNNY BARBECUE BONANZA

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

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

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

A SHOW OF STRENGTH

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

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

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

DAYDREAM PARASOLS

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

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

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

NOTES

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

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

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

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

TWINKLING CURRENTS

THE PARTY NEVER STOPS

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

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

SWIM UP TO THE BAR

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

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

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

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

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

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

ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY

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

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

SANDY SCAVENGING

INTO THE DEPTHS

IT'S HIGH TIDE WE GET OUT OF HERE

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

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

TUMBLING DOWN

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

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

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

A RISING FLOOD

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

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

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

NOTES

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

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

[silicone]

This list is insane, I feel like asking a person I don't know for pubic hair is really awkward... I mean. There are some people who do that kinda thing, but still...

[ it's never been his particular thing unless you count pulling pubes from your teeth when giving a bj. but anyways. if they are indeed in this together it could indeed be less awkward... he hums thoughtfully at his own list. ]

... How about... A bite. To start. We can trade, if you like. I think there are a couple things on this list we could handle.

[snakelace]

…I believe the hair might be easier.

[ This is coming from a guy used to carving up pieces of himself to save his patients’ lives.

He might be entirely too soft to bite anyone, actually. At least…he can’t do it hard enough to leave visible marks. How else would the lifeguards be satisfied? ]

Heh, though I certainly won’t dissuade you from taking a bite in exchange.

[silicone]

[ things eiden has no idea about help. ]

Well you'd benefit at least. If it keeps you from the weird seagulls, I don't mind, but I get it.

[ he's not someone to snub anything at least once, and if it makes getting out of this situation just a tad easier, well he's all for it. ]

... Least with the hair, we could make it fun, if you're up for it?

[snakelace]

[ Eiden’s got enough shit to deal with without having to hear yet another crazy tragic backstory okay— ]

Oh? How so?

[ He’s not very imaginative when it comes to sex, but he’s not above trying out new experiences for science. ]

My elemental powers will be at your disposal.

[silicone]

[ surfaces from health panic attack to return to the tdm thread! ]

Elemental powers, huh? Well you're going to have to tell me at least a little bit about that...

[ he can tell him along the way as he gestures with a hand, easily and lazily waving. ]

C'mon, we can find somewhere a little more private. Maybe one of those tented situations with some pillows. I promise, it's nothing too wild... but it will be fun.

[snakelace]

[ Glad to see you’re doing better!!! ]

Just some healing and plant manipulation, nothing too fancy.

[ The rest of his fancy powers are a bit hush-hush at the moment, anyway. Not that he thinks Eiden will think to pry as Baizhu follows him along to one of those quaint little beach houses set up around here.

Privacy might still be an issue considering the lack of solid walls and the fact that it’s more crowded than usual here today, but hey. ]

[silicone]

[ eiden is nosy, but he also is pretty used to people who want to play things close to the chest. it's fine - who is he anyways besides just some guy? he offers him an easy, faint smile.

truth be told, he's got next to no shame when it comes to this place. it's highly implied that everyone is playing the house's game in some way or another. at the very least, there's a comfortable set up behind some denser decorative tropical plants and some silks providing just a little extra shade, there's even a very comfortable lounge there, and a pitcher of something icy cold with glasses. ]

Come on now... have a seat. Get comfortable.

[snakelace]

[ Surely Eiden won’t be at all alarmed if Baizhu uses some of his magic to make the nearby palm fronds a little larger, letting them crisscross together to provide them with some modicum of privacy as those sumptuous floral displays seem to grow a little brighter, even though he’s aware the latter’s bound to release some rather intoxicating scents into their cozy little hideaway.

Just a little something to set the mood, because… ]

You seem quite experienced in these matters.

[ Does he mean sex, or just the general state of things? Who knows? Baizhu settles himself upon one of the silk-laden benches lining one side, leaning forward to pour them both a glass of that sparkling concoction.

It smells fruity. ]

[silicone]

Enough to know this place likes to make things hard. It's not my first rodeo.

[ with a smile that means "in every sense of the word." he does watch as the plants seems to stretch and grow, a little surprise in his eyes as he joins him. the flowers are... no doubt partially to blame for his own ease of simply suggesting it.

that and he knows there isn't much privacy—even rooms are four to a person, so really. ]

I'm Eiden, by the way.

[snakelace]

And I’m Baizhu, a doctor. It’s a pleasure.

[ Offering Eiden a glass as he takes a sip of his own—oh, he knows it’s laced with something, and he doesn’t particularly care. He’s already interested, anyway. ]

But you’re right in that we have no need of making things more difficult here, though I’ll have you know I enjoy starting things off with a kiss.

[silicone]

[ knowing this place... yeah these are probably laced. if anything, eiden just looks down at the drink and kind of gives a little laugh before taking a sip of his own. why not...? it's good, and the company is rather nice too. ]

Then you should know that I'm a big fan of kissing... so that sounds just right.

[ a gentle tilt of the head. ]

That an invitation, then?

[snakelace]

[ The tropical displays keeping them partially shielded from view start to rustle, as Baizhu leans forward with a smile— ]

It’s a challenge.

[silicone]

Accepted, Doctor.

[ he's already leaning as he speaks, it's easy between the drinks and the warmth - not to mention baizhu is incredibly handsome, so really. no one is losing out here.

eiden's fingers are gentle, reaching out to trail along the line of the other's jaw, drawing him closer to press a kiss to his lips. the feel of it initially is soft, the barest brush before fully sinking in with the first wave of something that sparks like hunger. ]

[snakelace]

[ He can taste that bright, fruity cocktail on the other’s lips and he can’t help but think of how appropriate that is—something sweet from someone sweet. Without realizing this guy’s relationship to his good friend Olivine and his questionably good friend Rei all Eiden is to him right now is a juicy morsel he’s happy to gobble up—

And the first step to doing that is to gently ask for permission, the tip of his tongue with the Spade tattoo imprinted on it nudging at Eiden’s lips, seeking entrance, searching for deeper, more intriguing flavors as Baizhu gently pushes that table between them aside… ]

[silicone]

[ when ur friends' communal boyfriend (?) is back in town and you just happen to make out with him... truly incredible.

it's true that eiden loves kissing, could spend a good deal of time indulging in the act. a hand finds purchase on baizhu's shoulder, the other still lightly resting on his jaw. the tongue is welcome with a similar brush, lips parting. maybe there are goals to be achieved, but right now eiden's head is buzzing already with drink... so who cares? baizhu tastes good at the very first flick of his tongue, and eiden intends to indulge just the same. his fingers thread through his hair as he allows him in further, deepens the kiss. ]

[snakelace]

[ He’s already completely forgotten the scavenger hunt by now, his mind only focused on the man before him, the warmth of his mouth as he’s given access, the moan passing between their lips.

With any luck, that plant magic of his has hidden them away from the beady little gazes of lifeguards on the prowl…

And with that table out of the way, Baizhu doesn’t hesitate to lean into him, locking Eiden into an embrace as they continue to taste each other, the heady scents of the flowers filling the air between them making him dizzy with need. ]

[silicone]

[ scavenger what now? no. only kissing. that's it. eiden's mind lets it slip, instead in favor of the warmth he's indulging in now, feeling it at the base of his skull and tingling down his spine. the soft rustling of the plants behind them, providing a little more shelter, is reassuring and seems to sweep away any hesitation whatsoever.

his arm joins to embrace him back easily when he feels himself drawn into him, and eiden shifts to help press them as close as possible, a thigh brushing his as he helps with the slow, inevitable tangle. there's a soft sigh that leaves him, teeth barely grazing lower lip as he deepens the kiss further, tasting the heat of the other's mouth.

the hand still in baizhu's hair still hold fast, shift to cradle the back of his head, sliding down to the nape of his neck slowly. ]

[snakelace]

[ He shudders at the pleasant tingle of heat when he feels the hand in his hair shift, those fingers brushing down the length of it, breath catching when he feels the full warmth of that hand on his neck, resting above the collar of that open shirt that he regrets not taking off in time.

Even his modest swimming trunks are starting to make him feel overdressed.

With his arms closed about Eiden’s neck he tries tugging at him, gently but insistently, so they’ll both fall back against that nice, cushy bench already strewn with brightly colored silks and pillows to tumble around in. The space is still a little tight down there, but that’s the point, isn’t it?

But the longer their lips linger on each other, the more he’s starting to notice something…

He breaks the kiss with a gasp, eyes fluttering— ]

You…something…something seems familiar…

[silicone]

[ down to the soft bench they go. he likes how it makes them press close - the limited space adding something particularly delicious about their hiding behind the foliage.

eiden's own outfit, or rather, the sheer robe and too-short swim shorts they've given him feels almost too much, arousal apparent already. the silks against his bare skin don't help - so soft and cool in comparison to the hot day... baizhu's skin against his own is already ruining him, making it difficult to hide the arousal between his thighs. so he doesn't hide it.

the fact is, eiden doesn't notice it often enough anymore, so used to his essence lighting up like a goddamn christmas tree the moment he kisses someone like this. probably because his clan members are used to it, and here, not many people can sense the essence inside of him. it's plentiful, an unending well it seems, and as eiden pulls back, flushed, dazed, he lets out a soft "huh" while nose to nose. ]

Mmh? Good...? Bad...?

[ he leans down to kiss his jaw slowly, like a test of that very question, lips damp from the kiss, dragging essence-rich warmth from mouth and tongue along towards the lobe of his ear. ]

I could stop, doctor... just say the word...

[snakelace]

Don’t…Don’t you dare stop…

[ It comes out raspy, practically whimpering, whatever threat in it completely neutralized by the fact that Baizhu clings to him all the tighter, fingers digging into that sheer robe as though he can’t quite decide if he wants to use it to cling or tear it off so he can get at more skin.

And that teasing kiss is making it very difficult for him to properly gather his thoughts and identify the essence for what it is. Right now, all he can feel is a certain something that he finds he craves—something sweeter and richer than that drink they’d shared, something that goes beyond a mere kiss…

He can keenly feel Eiden’s arousal brushing against his thigh, and Baizhu shifts, both to rut against him and to try and reach for Eiden’s shorts and tug it off him— ]

[silicone]

Then I won't...

[ a promise as he feels hands trying to slide the shorts off of him, which isn't too difficult. well, maybe. actually yeah it clings to him—not completely his fault, just the way the suit fits, but they certainly will come off.

he should maybe feel a little more shame for being soaking wet for just a heated kiss, but the drink, the coverage from their dalliance on the bench, the silks and the beautiful, warm spread of baizhu's body all culminate into an arousing symphony of sensation. when he returns to his mouth for another kiss, his hands busy themselves with trying to get baizhu as equally divested now, fingers climbing downwards to grasp at his hips. ]

Sorry for the mess...

[ as he takes his hips in turn and grinds against him, a similar rutting motion as he thumbs the waistline of what baizhu happens to be wearing, eager to bring them even more flush than before as he delves in to kiss him again, passionately, starving. his essence flares as he presses them both into the silky confines of the narrow bench, hips rolling. ]

Eiden…

[ Baizhu does struggle with that skintight swimsuit of his, and even lets out a soft sound of triumph when he finally frees up that erection and cradles it tenderly in hand, the weight and the heat of it making him ache for more.

But he’s pinned down, restless, his mouth occupied by Eiden’s once again, and somehow he manages to retain enough focus to shimmy out of his own swimming trunks, his hands letting go of Eiden’s cock for now to slip underneath that sheer robe and press palms against nipples, to feel the satisfying friction of their bodies as they rut together.

Baizhu can feel himself sinking further and further into the pleasure with each scrape of a nipple or brush of a thigh, his long braid coming undone and the silks underneath them becoming increasingly tangled up as their pace grows ever more frantic. He’s never really been one to resist the temptations offered by this world, preferring to go along with the flow rather than actively fighting against it, his mind growing numb to all but the pursuit of pleasure…

And right now he’s far more focused on the heat of the moment than on the increasingly obvious signs that Eiden is no ordinary man, and that this is no ordinary fuck…

So his body ends up being quicker on the uptake when he breaks that kiss to beg— ]

Your essence…please…

[silicone]

You know...

[ though his words give pause as his chest is touched, explored. he whimpers a little bit, sweetly, before licking gently into baizhu's mouth. every fluid that comes from him is essence laden, and saliva is no exception. as he nibbles his lower lip, a hand winds into the quickly unraveling braid, giving it a tender tug tug. ]

You can have it... here...

[ as his other hand reaches between them, below where their hips sit aligned. he pulls their cocks together, the undersides flush as his palm wraps around and begins to stroke them in tandem, smearing his essence-filled pre over them both, the slick leaking from him aiding as his fingers catch in it as well. ]

[snakelace]

It…It feels so…

[ That’s it, that familiar warmth… Essence… So Eiden is from Klein all along, but even then he’s once again distracted from the thought as that hand gathers both their members together, drawing a heated gasp out of Baizhu once that hand starts moving.

His hair comes undone, the picks and ornaments he’d used to keep them in place falling to the floor with a gentle clatter as he buries his moans in Eiden’s neck, feeling the wonderful surge of essence intermingling with his qi, his mind racing with thoughts of how different it feels from Olivine’s or Rei’s, how…

He isn’t going to last. One hand slips around to the small of Eiden’s back, fingers inadvertently brushing past the Diamond tattoo as he reaches for the curve of Eiden’s ass to give it a squeeze. ]

[silicone]

[ the squeeze is... invigorating in so many ways, eiden lets out a soft moan from the touch as his hand hastens its pace just a little more, pre flowing just slightly more than before. his essence is a little different - it's got a sort of endless depth to it, a churning wealth that springs to the surface like a font. it overflows, spills with eiden's body leaking.

the brush to the tattoo is sensitive, makes him whisper past his teeth- ]

Bai...zhu...

[ he certainly isn't going to stop him, and thankfully between the drink and skilled fingers, he can feel that sensation in his stomach blossom warm, hot, hot, hot - a soft gasp as his hand tightens around them both further. he does try to meet his eyes, his own a hazy, warm light brown, dilated wide with passion and the drink. when he wets his lips, his tongue is almost too-pink from the drink itself, ripe, glistening as parts lips again.

he noses gently against his cheek, shifting so he can kiss him once more, open-mouthed and meeting him eager and wet. ]
