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

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.

[Who would like to be a punching bag? Aak thinks to himself. The lie of that one doesn't get deeply probed because of course it's a lie. He can't know the extent to which Kleken wants to secure his place, though. There was a hierarchy of this place over an endless labyrinth abyss but there was also the idea of getting back to where they came from safely...]

Well, you know, this place should hopefully be a lot more comfortable for you. Plenty of entertainment, some pretty funny people, oh, and even a seedy underbelly! I'm not too familiar with it myself but it's reassuring when a place is big enough to have its own shadow, isn't it?

[He chatters on with a similar pace to before, dropping little tidbits but keeping his tone airy. A part of him, the outside influence of the drink, really thinks that pushing the conversation this way is good. He didn't want to get too deeply entwined with those illegal dens, or the ghosts, or hidden areas, but having someone else to do it? And for him to catch the benefits from under a clever tentacle? That's not bad!]

[ It's a bit amusing, to have someone talk so openly about a 'seedy underbelly' with him. The lack of tact surrounding such matters was refreshing, in fact, and he rather welcomed it. Surely it had nothing to do with the idea that he looked and acted as if he belonged perfectly within such a place. No, not at all. ]

Oh, I had thought most didn't like to know about the existence of such a thing. Much less admit to it.

[ That had always been his impression, when amongst people who were loathe to admit the existence of Umbraton back home. He'd never really been in the position of 'the guy someone knows' with a connection to the underworld, mostly because most didn't want to know him specifically, but it could prove entertaining if approached right. ]

[ And Kleken was simultaneously easy and ridiculously hard to please. ]

[Talking about a seedy underbelly was sort of like talking about the "dark web." People immediately had reason to doubt the speaker had any actual knowledge. Still, Aak's confidence in how he speaks is unwavering.]

Ah, well, good and proper citizens may never have to come in contact with such things. More interesting people, though, [he draws a spiral in the air with his free finger,] can end up looking there.

I'll be doing a basic examination for you, Ah Sir, but the forces at the top limit how many medical tools us "guests" have access to! So I have to get a bit of dirt on my hands to properly practice my craft.

[He smiles, completely certain in his logic. A real goody two-shoes would still have to admit that wanting to practice medicine, help people, was a proper motivator. And anyone with a more selfish mind would be more aligned with him anyways.]

[ Aak's show of bravado was enough to impress Kleken in... some sort of manner. An entertaining one, at least. Not enough to call him out on how oddly he was referring to the whole matter, but certainly enough to tease him over it. ]

Ah yes, good and proper citizens like us.

[ One of them was definitely not a good and proper citizen. ]

[ The information Aak provides next only fuels Kleken's desire to tease, an itch he more than enjoyed scratching in the worst sort of ways. ]

I do hope I'm not the dirt in this case.

Eh? [he glances up, taking a moment to reply. The conflicting feelings of of course, I'm hoping you'll be the dirt and maybe it'd be nice if you were totally clean. A whole part of it could possibly be resolved if he were more direct... or it could be impossible if Kleken continues to dance around it in return.]

Well, [he decides, glancing aside coyly] if I were to ever get a gift from you, I wouldn't think of questioning where it came from.

[It could be the results of the drink he had that are warping his sensibilities. It could be, though, that he does just look so pleased at the idea of getting an illegal gift.]

But, nah, seriously! You can't be doing anything wrong as a patient! [he pulls his hand back as if to sharply smack the man's back- before thinking better of it and adjusting it to a light pat]

[ Dancing is Kleken's forte, unfortunately, and as much as he enjoys goading someone into being direct with him, his own desire to do so is... spotty, at best. Nonexistent at worst. The subtly unsubtle suggestions aren't lost on him in the least, but he's already made his decision on how to run with Aak's words. ]

Wonderful. I'll have to do some souvenir shopping later.

[ Whether that means figuratively or literally doesn't matter, there will be actual silly little beach souvenirs in Aak's eventual future. Likely when he least expects it, and likely just as annoying as the conman himself. It needed to be a most wonderful reminder of him, after all. ]

[ The pat pulls him out of his future plotting, smiling over once more as if he hadn't been deciding what sort of beach paraphernalia to get him. ]

That is a relief to know. Hopefully nothing is wrong with myself.

[Eventually he'll learn how Kleken likes to twist things around. Then, once he's learned, it can twist again. For now, though, he just thinks that any gift is a good gift and he can change his mind when some tacky figurine ends up on his desk.]

Somethin' could have slipped in under symptoms of exhaustion, sure, that's the nasty part of it. Considering how long you were wandering there, it might take a long time to recover anyways...

[At least from a visual standpoint it seems like most of the physical stuff was covered. And he was no good for the psychological damage of months of wandering.]

Might have to stick to more relaxed positions, [he grins, crossing his fingers back and forth to imply screwing] at least for a lil' bit.

[ Understanding the twists of Kleken's mind is the best bet to protect yourself against his shenanigans, it's true. Aak simply needed more time and experience to learn how to read the man, and unluckily for him, Kleken was more than happy to provide as much. ]

[ Case in point, the way his eyes dip to Aak's hands then back up with the most falsely innocent of smiles following his analysis and advice. ]

What sort of positions would those look like?

[At least he wasn't caught aback by that one. There's too much sex around them, the air was thick with it, he wasn't gonna back down from the question.]

Eh, well, depends on if you like pitching or catching, you know?

[He doesn't even wait for the follow-up question, if the innocent smile was continuing,]

Even if you prefer to be assertive you may wanna minimize how much ya' move. I'm sure someone could take care of that for ya'.

I prefer to play to my associate's preferences.

[ An absolute lie, Kleken was far too much of a control freak to easily let go of power in intimate situations. Though he may not have the stature that most people may think of for someone who tops, he's found that his tentacles are ever so helpful in coercing things into his preferences. ]

[ He also has no fucking idea what pitching and catching refer to specifically but the assumption there is sex stuff. ]

Ah, but that is very sound advice. I'll have to be sure to convey that to my next associate.

[Aak completely understands both lacking the stature or the ability to let go. In this case, though, excited by the drinks, he's willing to favor a radical lack of control. If he chose to throw himself to the octo-wolves then it's not really like he lost control, right? Tactical move.]

Associate, huh. [he grins]

You know, people who jump right to "lover" just for fooling around are one thing, I don't know anyone who sticks with "associate"!

[a little squeeze of his arm against the other's side]

[ A total tactical move, Kleken would agree. ]

I do like to set expectations ahead of time, least I leave someone disappointed.

[ Whereas Aak approaches with subtlety, Kleken figuratively barrels forward, reaching out a hand to curve against Aak's cheek, leaning in alittle to flirt with the lines of intimacy. ]

[ As if he hadn't been doing that since he'd first met the other- ]

But I do try very hard to ensure my associate is very satisfied.

[There is some delight to be found in the directness. Despite being the kind of person who could dance around a subject, there was the lack of knowledge about Kleken's exact status. It's far too easy to imagine getting strung along with a will he or won't he kind of attitude.]

[and normally he might enjoy the ambiguity and feel pressured by the decision to make- but it was all too obvious right now what to do]

Then, [he nuzzles into that touch, the fur of his face tickling Kleken's palm]

I'm looking forward to working with you, hehehe!

[ While Kleken might normally be the sort to dance several different directions all at once around a topic, he's found things to be far more interesting with Aak when he aims straight for the heart of the matter. ]

[ How else could he do things now, when that forwardness of his had Aak literally nuzzling into the palm of his hand, an action he finds rather cute admittedly. Enough so that he doesn't pinch Aak's cheek to single-handedly destroy their flirtatious mood. Simply curls his fingers under his jaw to draw the other man closer in, suddenly intensely curious about the extent of that fur. ]

I believe we should find somewhere more comfortable to... work then.

[The good news was that the effects of the drink would let Aak tolerate a certain degree of otherwise mood-destroying teasing. The effort to keep the atmosphere is rewarded in its own way. There's no more hurdles to hesitate over, simply the goal in front of him of securing this person's favor and protection by any means necessary.]

[(Well, ideally by one means necessary.)]

[Despite being a fake beach, Aak still was dressed modestly. It was clear to tell that there was fur on his forearms and calves but otherwise there was a lot of potential skin and fur tucked safely away. Kleken could explore that with the same intensity Aak did those tentacles. The beach accommodations are in sight,]

Which one's yours, then? [He glances over to the casino's glamping set-ups. No sound proofing but, well, who should be surprised if noises are coming out?]

[ Kleken's only regret here would be not storing some of those drinks from earlier within the empty wine bottles he carried so that he could use them again in the future. ]

Let me show you the way.

[ Whether Aak would end up regretting letting his drink-distracted self slip away into a private location, one of those further back glamping set-ups that is thankfully unoccupied, well. That was a problem for future Aak to deal with. Current Aak would probably be busy enough as is with his problems, by the name of Kleken's tentacles sliding partially around his waist as they walk, tickling against his sides and thighs as they go. ]

[It was strange, the mix of eroticism and fear in his head currently. As the tentacles started to brush against more parts of his body, there was a brief flicker in his head of his legs being restrained and being tugged to the ground if he attempted to run. It's a jolt of panic but his reaction is still tainted. If he could do that, then it was important Aak make sure he never does.]

[The hand not supporting Kleken brushes against a tentacle. The pad of his fingers press against one, drawing a small and close circle on the surface. It's reminiscent of the careful motions he learned trying to get a plant off all those months ago when they first crossed paths.]

[another nuzzle is given, too, a sign of being cute and obedient]

[ How odd, seeing Aak being so adorable. ]

[ Well, he did already think the younger man adorable before. But in an entirely different way than now. That charmingly skittish nature he'd seen during their first meeting is gone, replaced by something more like a little street kitten's behavior. Both terrified and too overwhelmed by its own curiosity to resist pawing at its current object of interest, however dangerous it may be. ]

[ In the case of this object of interest, the tentacles paw back. The tentacle under his finger twitches in a way that mimics an appearance of pleasure, as if a silent moan were sweeping through its form. And others press in to tangle themselves over Aak's fingers and wrist, eagerly demanding more of his touch. ]

[ They clear the way though when Kleken moves in, taking Aak's freed hand into his own as they approach the glorified tents. Because once they step through the door, he'll be drawing Aak right up against his body that does nothing to help that fear reaction of his. ]

Do tell me one thing you'd like of me.

[ Whether it's one free gimme card for the younger man or simply Kleken's curiosity, it's hard to say. But it is the one and only time he'll be placing such a question on the table. ]

[His attention is briefly split between the man and the tentacles. It's strange to feel so many little inhuman touches. While Aak would argue anytime he's demanding attention it's cute, anyone else is a little annoying. He doesn't hate their demands for his attention but it is pulling his attention away from the person he's with.]

[Aaand the attention is rapidly pulled back. Once they enter relative privacy the gap between their body is gone. Kleken pulls him close in a way that's almost funny, considering the lie of being exhausted from earlier. Aak's tail curls and flicks while his brain catches up. The fingers that were toying with the needy tentacles briefly go slack.]

Ah. [One thing, hm? Aak's lips purse as his brain starts crunching the numbers. There's a temptation to try and flatter, try and be coy, act like there's nothing he wants that Kleken wouldn't just do.]

[Not even the power of the drink can convince him to do that, though, that's a step too far.]

Keep it a lil' sweet, huh? Nothing that's supposed to hurt on purpose.

I'm always sweet.

[ ... Aak already knows whether that's a lie or the truth. ]

[ But whatever way he wants to call it in this moment, it doesn't change the fact that Kleken in all of his very healthy and unharmed or sick state is tilting Aak's chin up to lead him into a kiss. One that is... surprisingly sweet? ]

[ Maybe sweet. ]

[ It's light, the soft press of his lips against Aak's, and rather than a singular meeting of their lips, it's soft kiss upon kiss. The angle shifts just a little with each one, so the repetitiveness of the action isn't fully felt, but each kiss begins to linger a little longer. Steal a little more of Aak's breath away. ]

[From having his first kiss here at the hotel, Aak had gone around a few times on whether he liked the act. His impulsive, pleasure-chasing nature was exposed to too much at once. Kissing seemed to be at the bottom of the list of pleasurable things he could now grab. A few people had changed his mind, though. A good kiss was a mix of skill and emotional satisfaction for him.]

[And the kisses he were given were certainly sweet. Each little press would feel tame if not for the frequency and the air of danger the one giving him had. It fulfilled the little need he had to feel like a precious possession of someone who could keep him safe.]

[A couple kisses in, Aak starts rising to meet them. Rather than just being doted on he shows his own acceptance of them. He'll also leave a little flick of rough tongue against the others' lips.]

[Outside of the surprise, Aak wriggles his fingers to see if those nosy tentacles were still looking for attention. He would rather direct all his attention at Kleken but it couldn't hurt to have the wandering limbs on his side, too.]

[ Inch by inch, the sweetness of those kisses lure Aak in, gently lower his guard in the face of a man who would metaphorically eat him alive. Perhaps physically as well, that was still up in the air. ]

[ The flick of a rough tongue against his lips is intriguing though, and has him deepening his next kiss, lips just parting in invitation to the shorter man. While Kleken may enjoy kissing, he's not necessarily out to change Aak's mind on the matter with fancy techniques and the like. He's a good kisser, certainly, but not the best. ]

[ He does, however, want to keep him distracted from noticing what his tentacles are up to, which Kleken does like to think of himself as the best in. A few move immediately into Aak's waiting grasp, bumping against those fingers and tangling themselves in them out of curiosity, but others are making their way around the pair, curious tips seeking out the ends of Aak's clothing to sneak under. ]

[It's a good distraction. Even when Aak is being placatingly, cloyingly sweet it doesn't mean he's not pushing it. He likes getting further access, getting to dart his tongue against the other's.]

[The other little bit of his attention were gobbled up by the tentacles in his hand. With them interwoven with his fingers it's difficult to tell just how many are toying with him in a single space. One that wriggles next to his thumb actually gets a light pinch for its interest. He can't help it, there's a bit of him that just likes to hurt things that appear to like him.]

[So, really, it's not like Kleken's proclivities are any worse.]

[Little tendrils can slowly find points of access. The jacket he's worn has pockets that contain several small paper envelopes. Underneath the jacket is a wetsuit. The delicate ends of tentacles could probably find the zipper to peel it loose or forsake the zipper entirely. The closeness of the fabric to the skin meant just about anything that could be fondled could still be fondled. Or a tight squeeze just meant that not even the neatest fitting clothes would keep him safe.]

[ Oh the tentacles are quickly finding Aak's clothes to be a much more interesting challenge than usual, and bearing further study. They're tenacious little guys, trying to squirm their way underneath the wetsuit, a few inches in at most, just to see how tight it really is. Some are quicker to move on, to search for the way to get this extremely rude barrier out of the way, while thinner tentacles continue their struggle to slip under. ]

[ Hopefully Aak can survive all that while Kleken is actively exploring every centimeter of his tongue with his own, curiosity about the rough appendage far from satisfied at the moment. His hands have moved up to cup at Aak's cheeks, brushing his thumb lightly over them to layer another light distraction on the very long list of distractions he has going on by now. ]

[ At this point the only well-behaved part of him are the tentacles under Aak's hand, continuing to curl and lightly tangle. ]

[With the zipper up by his throat, the tentacles have a wide expanse of body to explore before the find the right way to get rid of the material in their way. The wriggling pressed up against his skin does start to catch his attention. It's intrusive and yet some part of it does excite him.]

[While one hand is distracted with the most polite of the tentacles, his other does wander a bit down the other's side.]

[While the medical assessment was obviously being postponed, he was still curious about how those tentacles related to the man's anatomy. His hand is tracing across the other's lower back, a place he'd seen some Terrans with tentacles before. Hm, maybe lower? He isn't even intending to grope but it's certainly happening.]
