[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.

[asixthsense]

[Natsume blinked as a skewer of meat is suddenly waved in front of him. It smelled delicious. He'd gotten creative with the sheer robe he'd woken up in, folding it over in a way that it looked more like a somewhat short skirt with the sash as a firmly-tied belt.

He took the yakitori with a little smile at the boy that was offering it.]

It can't be all that bad when it smells this good, can it?

[So he hopes, anyway. He's at least figured out he's not trapped on the floating city, so surely the food isn't a trap, right? Right?? He's gonna wait til the other guy takes a bite first...]

[belheir]

I'm sure the taste is great. It's the after-effects that might make you regret it.

[Which is to say.... Kazuya is not going to be taking the first bite. Like hell he's getting stuck with a hard on and an intense need to fuck with someone who looks new.

Though if this guy isn't... ]

You a new face? Or just someone I haven't seen before?

[asixthsense]

[Natsume's taking note that the other guy doesn't seem to be taking the lead, here. Coward.]

Both, probably. This doesn't seem to be part of the sky city I was trapped in. At least, I don't remember there being a resort like this. But it sounds like the food could be the same, in which case I've built up some tolerance to that sort of thing.

[Raising an eyebrow that has a bit of challenge behind it, Natsume takes a decisive bite off the end of the skewer. The way he sees it, anything edible here could have the same chance of after-effects. He can't just go hungry.]

Ah! It's... spicy.

[belheir]

No sky-city here that I'm aware of.

[But he is sort of surprised to hear that the food might be the same, and that he might have some tolerance to it? Is there seriously somewhere else like the resort out there in the multiverse that kidnaps people and drugs them and forces them to have sex?

That's seriously messed up.]

From what I know, none of us can even get outside of the hotel, even if it feels like the outdoors in some areas.

[But... Well, this guy ate some, but now he's a little worried. What if this guy does have a tolerance for aphrodisiacs? What if he's the one who ends up with the awkward boner???

The skewer remains, for the moment, uneaten. Coward.]

[asixthsense]

[Kazuya has no idea.]

Hmm... That's going to be a problem for me, then. My contract wasn't up yet, and I need to find a way back before they realize I've gone missing. Or at least find my terminal so I can try to contact someone I know.

[He isn't showing any immediate signs of being affected by anything... Maybe the food was safe after all.]

I'm Natsume, by the way.

[belheir]

There's nothing like that here. The only other world accessible to us is the one in the Roost, and there's nothing for humans there. In fact, I'd say it could be a really deadly problem if one ended up there alone.

[Especially after everything he'd seen. With the only way out to malevolently trick someone if they had no access to other abilities, and the only way to stay alive and not be completely drained to have sex.

Naturally, considering this place.

Kazuya finally takes a bite of his skewer, and while it's spicy, it's not that intolerable to him. Not that he has the greatest spicy tolerance, but he's got enough that this is just a pleasant tingle.]

Kazuya Minegishi. It's nice to meet you, though I wish it was at least under better circumstances.

[asixthsense]

For what it's worth, this place doesn't seem all that bad. Especially if we can easily avoid that Roost place you mentioned.

[Admittedly, Natsume does have a skewed idea what could be considered "bad". His hand drifts toward his neck to where there had been a collar before he woke up here. He absently takes another bite while he sorts a few things out in his thoughts. Suddenly, his eyes narrow.]

Wait... is there a Zoo here?

[belheir]

Not that I've seen? There's some birds and other harmless animals running around the Vale and the Garden, but nothing anything particularly exotic like that.

[... He's thinking of a zoo like, one that houses actual animals.

He'll take another bite too, though his is much slower.]

Though there's, uh, places around if you want to be treated like a pet or such.

[That's not really for him, though. He's already got an owner, technically...]

[asixthsense]

Oh, is that all?

[Gosh, look how much he's already perked up at the news. No monster zoo! No horny monster zoo! He'd only had to go once a month, but this was great for him now that he didn't have to go at all. Not until he figured out a way back to the floating city, anyway.]

I almost feel bad thinking this is like a vacation. I mean, it's got the beach and everything.

[He's just casually ignoring the weird seagulls. Is the flush slowly starting to creep over his face from the food, or is he just looking a little bashful?]

Well, except that they didn't give us anything to wear for swimming in.

[belheir]

There's a lot you can do here, honestly. Though most of it's pretty skewed towards sex. Surprisingly we actually got a school here recently too, and that one isn't focused on it so much.

[Which he's really grateful for. There's already enough things pushing them here to have sex, and he's already eaten one of them.]

Was it really that bad where you came from?

[asixthsense]

I suppose it depends who you were contracted with, mostly. I was a breeding Courtesan, so I had extra duties at the zoo. Oh, and contracts were only for a month at the longest, so even if you got a bad Owner, you weren't stuck with them forever.

[Casually glossing over what was probably the oddest-sounding of that...]

Everything was about sex there too. If you didn't have a contract, for money you had to do stuff like advertise the things the shops were trying to sell. It took me a few months to really get used to it all.

[belheir]

[It all sounds pretty odd to him, honestly. And he can really only imagine what the job of breeding courtesan implies when it comes to zoo.

Yeah, no. He'll definitely take this hotel over anything like that, if what is being implied is true.]

It's sort of the same here? If you end up a low rank, then you really have to do your best to survive. I was a rank 3 for awhile, only one above 2. The rooms are pretty bad, and the basement is haunted. You get chips every time you have sex, but you can also get them from the casino portion too if you're feeling lucky. You're never really out of options.

[asixthsense]

[And just think, Natsume agreed to a life like that willingly! Sort of. Nothing a little brainwashing couldn't handle, anyway.]

I haven't gotten a rank, but I hope I don't get stuck in the basement, then. You said you were 3 for a while, what are you now?

[Taking another bite, and looking thoughtfully at his skewer. He might have some resistance built up but, uh. He can feel a familiar little tingle teasing at the edge of his senses.]

There's definitely something in this.

[belheir]

King.

[The highest rank possible, and quite frankly, the rank he should have been all along, if the other Bels inside him had anything to say about it.]

And yeah, I figured as much. I haven't eaten too much of mine, but I doubt that it'll make too much of a difference, honestly. And if you do get stuck in the basement, let me know. The King and Queen suites can easily house multiple people. You can bunk with me for a bit.

[asixthsense]

King!?

[Hold up, Natsume's trying to some quick math in his head. Even with the ranking thing being such a new idea to him, that's...]

Doesn't that mean you're actually someone important?

[Unlike Natsume, who is used to being a nobody. Makes sense that Kazuya could get away with inviting someone from what's probably considered the slums to stay with him.]

[belheir]

I'm important now that I'm a King rank. They didn't care too much about me before that.

[... He'll finish off his skewer. Might as well, if he's resigned to this anyway, right? It's not like it's about to make anything worse, judging from the warmth starting to bud in his gut.]

[asixthsense]

I suppose that makes sense... Thanks, I'll keep your invitation in mind.

[May as well finish his off too. The spice in it has made his lips tingle, but it was a pleasant sensation that just made him want to lick them. Natsume wouldn't be surprised to find out it was actually the sauce that was affecting them. It had tasted good enough to be worth it though. So far the effects on him seem mild...]

So uh.. Should we head back to the cabins? How are you feeling?

[Or is Kazuya one of those types that likes to be outdoors when it hits them... Natsume would really prefer not to have sand in places it doesn't belong when the inevitable happens.]

[belheir]

I'm feeling about the same as when I usually start feeling the effects of being drugged, honestly.

[Which is to say, hot and bothered and just waiting for the inevitable ramp up the moment anyone so much as lays a single finger on him.]

I'm kind of shocked at how well you're taking this, honestly. Normally people are a little more upset at being drugged.

[He knows he is!!! But also, that's a pretty bold offer already. Maybe this guy is just like that anyway? Though then again, he is from another place like this, but apparently worse, in his own opinion.]

But yeah, the cabins are probably stocked with anything needed anyway.

[asixthsense]

I was pretty upset the first time it happened. It was... really bad, actually. Someone had to rescue me. It's been a couple of years since then, but I'd still rather not be caught out in the open again.

[He does have some sense of self-preservation! But yeah, he's. Definitely suffering from an outside influence regardless. If someone happened to have the ability to read statuses they'd get quite the eyeful looking at his. Some brainwashing to make him more agreeable about it to a certain degree, some genetic modifications for their experiments...]

I'm trying not to let it keep me from doing the things I want to do. After all, I did agree to it when I convinced them to take me instead of my family.

[Just gonna start walking back toward the cabins. People tended to react weirdly when they find out Natsume volunteered in someone else's place. Natsume knows the feeling Kazuya described all too well, and is making a pointed effort to not let himself walk any closer than he is.]

Besides, I sort of guessed what might happen when you suggested "tempting fate," but you didn't seem like a bad person, and I was hungry anyway.

[belheir]

[ Thankfully DeSu doesn't have any scan ability--

Kazuya keeps step with him as he turns to head towards the cabins, trying to think about the situation that Natsume has clearly been put into.

Honestly, he can't say he wouldn't do the same thing if it protected his family or people he cared about, so he's silent on that point until they hit the door, when the urge to bulldoze his way through an otherwise delicate conversation hits. ]

Well, if you're agreeable enough, and collect all their cards for game 52, You can always wish for the safety of your friends and family. I don't really doubt this place has the ability to do that if they're able to pull gods from their worlds and force them to submit to their whims. There's always a bigger fish, right?

[ As much as that rankles the Bels something fiercely. ]

And listen, if you'd rather find someone else to do this with, I don't mind. Other peoples comfort comes before me being horny.

You're a kind person, Kazuya.

[He's definitely going to be looking more into this 52 game. Wishing for his family's safety was one thing, but if it were at all possible he could go home he'd choose that in a heartbeat. Natsume's getting a little closer now that they're at their destination, unable to keep himself from getting into Kazuya's personal space.]

Even if I did know anyone else, I don't think I'd feel right leaving you on your own.

[It's definitely starting to get to Natsume, though perhaps not as strongly as Kazuya yet? Enough that if they linger outside the door long enough, Natsume might end up pinning the other boy to the door for a kiss. The level of consideration Kazuya's shown him is a pretty good turn-on by itself right now.]

[The comment that he's kind... Makes his cheeks flush, just a little. He really does do his best to remember his humanity despite everything, so even just acknowledgement from someone who doesn't even have a clue yet...

It's nice.]

I'd be alright.

[He has other options, other places he can go to deal with this, and other people he can bother. Natsume, he's not so sure about, what with him being new. Still, he really doesn't want him to be forced into a situation even if he's not completely alright with it.

Which means, he has to ask, before his brain ends up dribbling out his dick and all he can think of is release.]

How did you want to do it? I'm fine with any particular way.

[Hands, mouths, thighs.... Fucking him is fine too, though hopefully the other guy would be understanding enough to let him top if that's what he wanted.]

And... How are you with biting?

[asixthsense]

Biting's fine if it's not too hard...

[An increase in regeneration was one of his genetic modifications that made him a suitable test subject, so even if Kazuya accidentally bit too hard, he'd still heal from it fairly quickly. Even hickies faded much quicker than usual. That didn't mean it couldn't still hurt. Natsume did actually enjoy being bitten on the neck though, if the way his eyes darkened at the question were any indication.]

The rest we can figure out as we go? Probably.. more than once for me.

[Stamina was another one. With the way he was feeling, he could only hope Kazuya could keep up. The other boy was only a few inches taller, and Natsume was obviously sizing him up. He'd better hurry with that door, because as soon as they're inside Natsume will be pressing Kazuya up against the back of it with a firm hand to his chest and seeking out the kiss he'd been craving.]

[belheir]

[There's a strange promise in the words. "Probably" more than once. He's no stranger himself to having multiple goes, but to hear it said so blatantly is a little... It stirs the warmth in his gut a little more, and he can feel his dick twinge in his pants at it.

The doorhandle is grabbed, opened, and before he can even think, he's already being more or less jumped, pressed to the back of it and kissed fiercely. There's a hand against his chest, so warm, and he kisses back instinctually at this point as that low heat in his gut becomes a full fledged fire.

His own hands move, one wrapping around Natsume's waist to pull him more flush against him, while the other finds its way into his hair, gripping a fistful and preventing him from pulling away. Kind he might be, but placid he is not, and he's quick to try and take charge of the kiss, to nip Natsume's lip and try and deepen it with his tongue.]

[asixthsense]

[There it is. Deep down, Natsume had known they could only dance around each other for so long before giving in, but the wait had been worth it. Heat that had been building up beneath the surface seemed to flare from every place they touched. The sudden intensity coming from Kazuya was eagerly welcomed, with Natsume's mouth parting to let him in almost immediately.

There wasn't any room between them, but that only meant Natsume's other hand was free to snake behind Kazuya, finding the small of his back and using the leverage to grind himself against the other boy. He groaned into the kiss at the friction, slowly doing it again to tease them both. The makeshift skirt of a coverup couldn't hide much anymore with the way his arousal was making itself known, his cock pressing up from under the folded over, sheer fabric.]
