TDM 05



【 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 in our KING SUITES for all new arrivals. We will endeavor to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

As a token of our gratitude for your understanding, front reception has arranged for a GRAND FEAST to welcome our newest guests. The attendance of all guests is required. The house will enforce compliance.

Please note that rank-appropriate attire is mandatory. Guests found breaking social code may be disciplined. We hope you enjoy your stay! 】



ARRIVAL
DIVINE AWAKENING
A cool breeze lofts across the room. Gentle, soothing. Cotton sheets and silken covers slip with the tired stretch of limbs. New arrivals dozing in the comfort of their king-sized beds wake to the balmy warmth of a hazy sun and the rhythmic lap of waves on the shore. Clouds mist around the floor, granting ethereal ambiance. Gauzy curtains flutter, revealing a majestic stretch of sky in all directions. This temple is nestled at the top of a mountain, one where the sea somehow meets its edge.

All King suites have been set to the Heavenly setting for the comfort of these new Wildcards. To call this place a room feels like a misnomer; all of the senses scream that this is a real temple at the top of a crisp oceanside mountain. The only clue that this place isn't what it seems is the door in the distance. It stands dark against light, a stark rectangle distinctly out of place.

New arrivals aren't waking up alone. Reception would never expect their guests to wake up in a cold bed. All new guests will be waking up next to another Wildcard or a current guest snatched up from the hallways. Guests waking up in these heavenly King suites will wake dressed in sheer white tunics and togas that leave very little to the imagination.
MARK OF THE GODS None of the traditional suits have manifested on these Wildcards. Instead, all new arrivals will discover intricate patterns winding their arms and legs, each one different from the next. Thorns, vines, stars, or moons — the commonality of these marks is that they come in either glittering gold or shimmering silver.

► BENEVOLENT DIVINE: Those with marks of gold running along their skin have been identified as benevolent deities. The powers that be have sensed the kind spirit within. All benevolent Wildcards may experience the effects of any RED SUITS over the course of the next two weeks.

► MALEVOLENT DIVINE: Those with marks of silver running along their skin have been identified as malevolent deities. The powers that be have sensed the muck that lurks beneath the surface. All malevolent deities may experience the effects of any BLACK SUITS over the course of the next two weeks.
MADDENING HUNGER Itchy throat, dry mouth. Headache. Hungry. It comes on slow, at first nothing of note. But, surely, it begins to deepen. Grapes don't feel filling. Water barely quenches thirst. All new arrivals will wake up in a state of hunger. They will find that despite the complimentary snacks left in their room by room service, nothing hits the spot.

No matter how much food they eat, these new arrivals, who have been dubbed as divines, won't find any satiation from food or wine. This gnawing hunger is exhausting; as it increases, their strength decreases. They cannot continue on like this for long.

All Wildcards, regardless of divine differentiation, will need to be worshipped for sustenance. Otherwise, they risk falling into a frenzied state.

There are many ways they can be worshipped. While having their bodies worshiped through sex is the most effective, they can find minor relief in acts of praise, affection, offerings, service, and so on. The longer a Wildcard goes without being worshiped, the more their god mark will leech their energy, and the faster they will lose their sanity. Loss of sanity can result in any kind of frenzy, from general mania to breaking from reality.
GILDED CAGE
AN ENDLESS FEAST
Doors to the grand banquet hall of Gilded Cage have been opened. A singular massive table stretches throughout the entirety of the restaurant, every available inch loaded with trays of food and goblets of wine. Waiters seamlessly dip in and out of the kitchens with platters over their shoulders, bringing delectable cuisine from all avenues of every earth around for guests to enjoy. Vibrant fruits, roasted meats, and decadent desserts funnel into the hall without end.

Rugs and cushions have been laid out for low rank guests. All high rank guests have thrones and benches covered in crushed velvet and delicate linens. Wildcards have a seat of honor amongst it all, each fresh new divine lead to the grand dais for their own semi-private tent with daybed and eager servants.

Low ranks are carefully watched by security and wait staff. Some low rank guests may even be dragged in by resort staff to assist serving high rank guests and Wildcards. All high rank guests and Wildcards are revered and catered to during the feast. Low rank guests are expected to feed them, rub their feet, and comply with any whimsical demands. Any low rank guest that defies a higher ranked guest is at risk of being shackled, forced to scrub chamber pots, and other humiliating punishments.
ROYALSRoyal cards are King, Queen, and Jack ranks. All ranks beneath them must comply with their demands, no matter how whimsical or stupid. They are waited on hand and foot, with low ranks throwing themselves forward for the honor of pleasing them. Royals do not need to obey the commands of anyone aside from Wildcards. While it is good manners for a lower royal card to defer to a higher royal card they will not be punished if they decline.

► Royal cards are encouraged to eat, drink, and be merry. Be selfish! Be greedy! Take everything you want! There is no end to the pampering and indulgence offered to royals. Long-standing guests line up to flatter them and give them gifts. Resort staff are desperate to make them laugh or smile. A royal card frowning strikes terror every servant. Resort staff will insist that they seek their own pleasures and not worry about the feelings of those lowly cards. All numbered cards exist to satisfy the royals; being concerned about their peasant feelings is unnecessary.

Royals can command any numbered rank. If they find a numbered rank they particularly like they may monopolize them for their exclusive use. The word no does not exist. Whatever a royal wants, a royal gets. They can also issue punishments to numbered ranks that do not please them. There are guards prepared to discipline servants at their command. They may also dominate unruly servants with their own hands if that pleases them.
SERVANTSServant cards are ranks A - 10. Hierarchy exists within the servants as well. While a rank 10 servant must flatter and please the royals, they may issue orders to any servant rank beneath them. This continues down the line — a rank 6 servant must obey and adore any rank above them but may command and bully any rank below them.

The Ace rank shows its fickle nature. All Ace cards are bottom-barrel servants sitting at Rank 1 that anyone can bully. They are automatically ordered to clean up trash, scrub sticky floors, and dance provocatively for any rank that demands a show.

Servants must obey anyone that outranks them. There are guards standing along the walls waiting to discipline any servant that defies the hierarchy. However, the guards are mostly for show — suits enforce real compliance. Any servant that disobeys an individual who outranks them is at risk of their suit flaring. If their suit does flare, submitting and obeying or an orgasm can abate suit effects.
WILDCARDS ► Wildcards are akin to deities. There is no greater honor than to serve or possess a Wildcard. Royals want to own them and servants want to please them. All Wildcards are showered with endless adoration. Fights break out for the chance to feed them grapes or rub their calves. Wildcards may do whatever they want without consequences, even toward royal ranks.

► Wildcards are encouraged to indulge in the finest of everything. Servants must tend to them and obey their commands. While royals do not need to obey them, there is great prestige in claiming a Wildcard’s affection. Wildcards are encouraged to be selfish and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

► Any royal or servant that satisfies a Wildcard can collect a Wildcard token. This is an electronic token that appears in their bank account once a Wildcard has climaxed during sex. Physically pleasing two Wildcards bring about great blessings. Players may submit two Wildcard tokens under their rewards thread to collect a small item voucher.


PHOENIX CASINO
ALEA IACTA EST
Phoenix Casino has been reborn in antiquity. Stone pillars line the aisles and embroidered linens cast a gauzy filter over every corner of the gambling center. The number of statues has increased, with every corner decorated with marble figures in provocative poses. The feast continues into even here; scantily clad servants and waiters carry around platters of succulent fruits and pitchers of wine.

The game tables are abuzz. Special games have kicked off in honor of the new godlings that are waiting to check in. Even here, those of different ranks are distinct from one another. The lowest ranks wear small slips of clothing. Some are even collared to show they belong to a particular royal or Wildcard. Royals and Wildcards dress luxuriously in thick robes and golden jewelry.

Game managers clap and encourage guests of all ranks to join in on the fun. While there are numerous card games, slot machines, and raffles happening around the casino, staff are promoting three events in particular.
WILDCARD AUCTION ► All shiny new Wildcards have a unique number pinned to their robes. Early in the night these nubile virgin Wildcards will be paraded across the stage and asked to introduce themselves to the crowd. After, the bidding will commence. Don't miss this opportunity to claim a resort virgin and beloved divine!

► Bidding for a Wildcard can get intense! Numerous long-standing guests are already obsessed with these stunning new arrivals and are quick to bid high. Bidding wars can break out at any time. Some very eager long-standing guests are willing to get violent if it means they get to monopolize one of these Wildcards. Security is on stand-by for cases of Wildcard theft; some guests are so desperate for these Wildcards that they'll even try to kidnap them if they see the chance.

► The hierarchy is temporarily set aside for auction purchases. Any rank can dominate a Wildcard if they have the means to bid high enough and buy. In the case of Wildcard purchases, their god marks will force compliance to whoever buys them during the auction.
CASTING LOTS ► This special game of lots is designed for a high rank and a low rank to play together. In the case of guests of the same rank playing together, a coin flip will decide who plays the "low" rank for this game.

► The high rank guest will roll a six-sided die. The number rolled will reflect the game rule by which the low rank guest must try to satisfy the high rank guest. If the low rank guest manages to satisfy the high rank guest they will receive a large payout. If the high rank guest is not satisfied they may discipline the low-rank guest in any way they see fit.

  • ONE: Without using hands.
  • TWO: Using only mouth.
  • THREE: While blindfolded.
  • FOUR: Using only butt cheeks.
  • FIVE: Using only legs.
  • SIX: While remaining on knees.

  • ► The high rank decides if and when they have been satisfied. Work hard, low rank!
    HEADS OR TAILS

    ► What's a casino without a bit of risk? There's a special game of Heads or Tails happening at the game tables. All guests must bet their rank in order to play. Winners of the game will have the option to either swap ranks with the loser, or keep their rank as is and move on to another game. With a little bit of luck, even a Rank 2 can experience living the high life.

    ► All rank swaps are temporary. Winners that choose to swap ranks with the loser of their game will have 24 hours with their new rank before they revert back to normal. They may continue playing on with their "new" rank if they want to test their luck.

    ► Heads or Tails is played with a physical Golden Peacock coin. Players will take turns as the coin flipper, with their opponent guessing if the outcome will be heads or tails. The first guest to reach three correct guesses is the winner.

    BEAK
    ENTERTAIN YOUR BETTERS
    A massive circular arena has been erected in the middle of Beak. Staggered seats rise up to the ceiling, where royals lounge in luxury viewing boxes. The gaping mouth of the arena is wide and desolate. An assortment of weapons, such as spears and shields, hang along stone walls. It waits for the taste of blood and stench of battle. The sound of the audience cheering and booing echoes throughout the Wellness Quarter.

    Beneath the open arena is a smaller closed arena and the warrior’s bunk. Warriors will find cold showers, rustic wooden benches, and training weapons available for their use. Deep in the earth is a grimy prison where servants who refuse to battle are thrown to wait for their turn. There are also cages where the hungry “animals” wait to go out and entertain the masses.

    A long track rings around the perimeter of the arena. Gone is the standard green fuzz and white lines, replaced with stone and dust to elicit the real feeling of running beneath the hot Grecian sun. Foot and chariot races take place throughout the day.
    BATTLE ROYALE ► Numbered ranks have been conscripted into battle for the amusement of the Wildcards and royals. While high ranked servants may be able to wiggle their way out of a fight, low ranked servants will be thrown into the arena without mercy. Warriors that win their battles will be showered in accolades and payouts while losers will be mocked and pelted with rotten tomatoes. Warriors that try to forfeit their match will be stripped naked, strung up on a pole, and mocked for 24 hours.

    ► Battle rules are simple. Any means and methods of fighting are acceptable when in the arena. The arena’s overseer will decide if a battle will end when first blood is drawn or if it will continue until one side can no longer continue. There are rare instances of battle to the death, typically reserved for warriors who have deeply offended a Wildcard or royal.

    Royals and Wildcards are welcome to join in the royale if they wish. They will not be forced and they will be given any armor they want before stepping into the arena. Low rank warriors are given no armor — some may even be forced to fight nude.
    SUBDUE THE BEASTAny numbered ranks that have displeased a Wildcard or royal will be thrown into the arena to fight barehanded against hungry tigers and lions. If there are no troublemakers on hand to throw into the arena for entertainment, low rank servants will be forcibly volunteered instead.

    ► Those alleged hungry tigers and lions? They are other servants dressed up in sexy animal costumes. While staff will take genuine volunteers for this role first, they will forcibly volunteer low rank servants into the role if needed. All costumes are revealing and offer little protection. There is an assortment of looks to choose from, not just tigers and lions, though whether or not a servant gets to pick their outfit depends on how charitable the arena master is feeling.

    ► Matches will end when one party can no longer continue or the audience is sufficiently amused. Royals and Wildcards are permitted to partake if they please, and there will be no consequences if they decide to withdraw.
    RACE TRACK ► Royals and Wildcards are invited to participate in horse racing. Only, there are no horses to be found — all the “horses” are servants! Any chosen servant must carry their master over the finish line. While piggyback rides may make the most sense for a race like this, many of the high class prefer more elegant positions, so anything goes. Horses are required to wear a bridle at all times during the race.

    Servants are also allowed to participate as jockeys as long as they observe the hierarchy. Servants may ride any servant of a lower rank. Aces are ordered to walk around with a poop shovel and bag, even if there won’t be any real horse poop lining the track (probably).

    Royals and Wildcards are also invited to participate in private horse racing. These races involve no track, taking place in the back of Beak in private rooms furnished with cushions and silks. Like with the public races, royals and Wildcards may select any servant that catches their eye. Unlike the public races, the goal here is to make their ‘horse’ orgasm as quickly as possible. Times will be saved on their Watches. The faster a master makes their horse come the more bragging rights they have.

    Servants are once again allowed to participate as jockeys as long as they observe the hierarchy. The higher ranked servant must make the lower ranked servant orgasm as quickly as they can. While the ‘horse’ may offer mutual comfort they will receive no accolades for their skills.
    TALON
    SHOW OF STRENGTH
    Talon is bustling with warriors training for the arena. Several strength building stations have been set up, including benches for royals to perch on while warriors bench press them. Additions have been made to Talon as well; multiple mud pits have been dug for warriors to participate in some mud wrestling between arena battles.

    Servants that appear too fragile to handle mud wrestling have been conscripted into the oil bearer role. Their job is to slather the warriors in oil from head to toe, and otherwise prepare them for their matches in either the arena or in the pit. This includes styling their hair, tending to their wounds, and wiping the sweat off of their bodies if so desired.

    The locker rooms that connect Beak and Talon have been fully stocked with first aid kits and luxury bathing supplies. Warriors that have won their matches get first pick, leaving the dirty towels and shampoo that smells like ass for the losers to sift through. Those sneaky ghost hands are having a field day, snapping rat tails at unsuspecting bathers and locking naked warriors together in the supply closet. Guests lacking vigilance may find their bottoms unexpectedly pinched.
    MUSCLE CONTEST ► Who can appeal to the royals and Wildcards most? It’s a competition based on aesthetics! Strip down, oil up, and flex your muscles to earn a high score from the judges. Royals and Wildcards may issue a score between 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.

    Wildcards and royals are welcome to join in the competition. For some reason, their scores always end up being 10 no matter how skinny or noodly they may be! The flattery and praise for their stunning looks and bodies is endless. No need to work out, my lord, my lady. You’re stunning as is! Truly no body is more perfect!

    Servants are not only allowed, but encouraged, to bribe royals and Wildcards into giving them a high score. While chips and gifts can certainly be offered, isn’t the most compelling argument some hands on experience? Staff will hint to competing warriors that offering sexual favors to the judges may help improve their scores. What better way to prove their physique is the most superior than to put it to work?

    ► Royals and Wildcards may purchase warriors for their exclusive entertainment if they so desire. Staff are eager to impress these nobles and make a pretty penny in the process. While this isn’t an official auction, these sneaky staff aren’t above making sure the elite and their requested warrior are left alone in a locked room. You grease my palms, I’ll make sure that sexy warrior greases yours.
    WRESTLING MATCHES ► Guests will find that a deep mud pit has been added to the front hub of Talon. Servants are stripped and oiled down before being thrown into the pit to wrestle for the entertainment of the nobles. While staff will take volunteers for wrestling matches, they will also grab whoever looks good, even if they’re just passing by! On-lookers place bets during the matches. The winner of the match will receive a small cut of the prize money.

    ► Wildcards and royals may enter as well. Servants are expected to throw their matches if they’re facing a noble… and if they don’t, they may be facing some unexpected consequences! All suits are sensitive to the hierarchy and will suddenly flare if a servant starts thrashing a noble.

    ► During a match-up of nobles, it is expected that the lower ranked noble will throw the match in favor of the higher ranked noble. While royal suits will not flare if this isn’t adhered to, discipline between royals isn’t unheard of!

    Some matches are held under “Special House Rules” — which means that the winner of the match gets to claim and fuck the loser. On-lookers will jeer and demand that the winner publicly fuck the loser where they can watch, but private rooms are available for the winner to claim their spoils of war without sharing.
    WAYWARD ARROWS ► An archery range with targets has been established for warriors to show off their shooting skills. Like the arena, there are benches and boxes for the audience to admire this graceful art — or to throw tomatoes from when a warrior misses the mark! Both servants and nobles are welcome to participate as archers.

    Servants have been conscripted to act as moving targets across the range. They are told to heckle the archers while avoiding their arrows, and only advised that the arrows won’t pierce their bodies if they get hit. It’s all fun and games. We can’t have all of our servants dying en masse!

    During this portion of the games, archers will be given an assortment of charmed arrows with chalk tips that elicit different effects:

  • RED ARROW: Chalk powder from red arrows will trigger an intense need for physical release by grinding, humping, or frotting.
  • BLUE ARROW: Chalk powder from blue arrows is pure aphrodisiac. Inhaling this powder will cause close spike to near-orgasm, one that the target will find that cannot be completed by their own hand.
  • GREEN ARROW: Chalk powder from green arrows will stir neediness. The hit target will suffer cravings to be sticky and hug, climb, and generally latch on to another person.
  • PURPLE ARROW: Chalk powder from purple arrows will cause a bad case of loose lips. This may manifest in a compulsion to loudly speak in pretentious purple prose, dirty talk, or say otherwise hilarious things for the amusement of the audience.

  • ► Effects from the arrows will wear off within the hour. Multiple hits from differently colored arrows can create fun new effects so feel free to get creative!




    INDULGENCE
    DESIRES FROM THE VOID
    The spirit of the festivities rouses something primal. With emotions heightened, the core of the Golden Peacock responds in kind. It drinks in the sweat of the warriors in the arena. Inhales the laughter of the royals using servants as furniture. Basks in the brilliant glow of fresh Wildcards. The portraits in the elevators are rowdier than usual and the chandeliers lining the hallways gleam with new vibrance. Energy is palpable.

    Things begin to move around the resort. The forgotten and the old exhale a dusty breath. Like the hunger that the Wildcards woke up with upon arrival, as its heart begins to beat quicker, there is a tension in the air of those things hungering to feed. To join in, and indulge. To get what they want.

    And they’re coming out.
    GALATEA ► Statues around the resort begin to stir. First it’s with a hazy blink, moving to the slow creak of their stiff mouths. Eventually they break off of their pedestals and out of their poses before clumsily making their way down the hallways, stone feet an emphasized thump with every step. They tremble, their cold stone bodies aching for warmth and human embrace.

    Statues around the resort have begun trying to kidnap guests for themselves. Once they’ve spotted a guest they want, they will stop at nothing to try and drag them back to their pedestal to spend forever locked in love’s embrace with them. They do not need food, drink, or rest.

    There are two ways to put a statue to rest. One is to engage the statue in battle and break off its head. Once the head is broken off, it will cease to have a spirit and crumble to dust. The second is to involve the statue in a physical act of intimacy — have a threesome with it! Or twosome, if someone is willing to watch. In the case of the second, statues will return to their pedestals satisfied upon completion.

    ► Statues that end up destroyed may drop a small lore hint. They will wheeze as their stone begins to disintegrate, their stone eyes dripping liquid gold tears. “I just wanted to feel alive again… I wanted to feel like you again… to be whole,” will slip past their marble lips before they crumble away.
    NARCISSUS ► Gaze into the water. Admire your pretty face, the curve of your lips, the squint of your eyes... wait, are you winking at yourself?! Over the next few weeks, water-based reflections will begin acting of their own free will. They have the ability to move within the scope of the water and speak, their voices muddled but understandable.

    ► These reflections are extremely flirtatious and charming. They smile and bat their lashes, pretending to be innocent while drawing the original owner in closer. How about a smooch? How about more than a smooch? Their whispered promises are sweet. Salacious. Loving. Anything to get closer to you. Leaning in too close to the water is dangerous — these reflections will reach out and try to drag unsuspecting guests in. Whether this is out of malice or affection is unclear, but how can they possibly make love to you unless you join them in the water?

    Once caught, it is challenging to escape from their phantom limbs in the water alone. Several long-standing guests need to be saved from The Nest’s decorative fountain because they keep coming close to drowning after trying to kiss their reflections. Unfortunately, not every location with water is as prepared to save unsuspecting would-be lovers. No body of water is safe — not even a cup of it!

    Reflections will become increasingly indignant if they're ignored. Their sweet words will take a sharp turn into insults similar to, "I'm the better looking one between us anyway!" They may also let slip some personal secrets like, "This is why Johnny will never love you back! You're so cold, ignoring even yourself!"

    Any mention of the fact that they'll end up drowning the character in question will earn a scoff and another small lore hint along the lines of, "Why are you being such a baby? Only the resort can really kill you anyhow. It's not like you'll die forever if I fuck you in here for a while!"
    PANDORA’S BOX ► A spider's web threads through the resort. Invisible, but audible to those that are willing to listen. One of the Punishment Rooms on the maintenance levels is unlocked. Without the padlock on the door to keep them silent, silvery whispers drift up from the basement. A brush of thought, a tickle of an idea that won't quite go away — come down… come down and see… what is inside… don't you want to know?

    ► Those that heed the call and explore the maintenance levels will find the unlocked Punishment Room. The closer one comes to this door, the stronger these voices grow. They will continue calling, eagerly encouraging whoever stops in front of the door to step inside.

    ► The inside of this Punishment Room is plain. White walls, a single card table, and two plastic chairs. A single lightbulb offers a dusty glow. There is nothing particularly interesting upon first glance. Slowly, the door behind will creak closed until it is closed, locking itself in the process. That small lightbulb will begin to dim until everything inside the room is plunged into darkness.

    This Punishment Room senses the worst memories and fears of one of the captives inside and forces them to experience them in real time. The manifestation of memories or fears inside this room are realistic, to the point that it's impossible to discern whether or not this takes place in reality or the mind. The Punishment Room will randomly select which prisoner to dig from if there is more than one, but all guests inside will experience the room's effects.

    ► The door cannot be unlocked from the inside. Someone must either open it from the outside or captives must wait until the punishment is over and the door unlocks itself. How long that takes is random, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. That’s what you get for listening to disembodied voices!

    tonguetoxicity: (mulling)

    Nara Tsukikio | OC | New!

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
    Arrival:

    Nara felt his consciousness come to him slowly. It almost felt like a hangover; like he was slowly coming to shore after a long swimming from a distance.

    Slowly, Nara sat up in his too short tunic, showing his legs, his arms. Vines of gold clamped onto his limbs like shackles, and he couldn't see them. Not yet. He was squinting, dark eyes slowly taking in the surroundings. But looking at it all, blinking and taking in slow breaths of air, Nara had to wonder one thing.

    “...Am I dead or just hungover?”

    Auction: (NSFW possible)

    “Yes, my name is Nara. Yes, I am a dragon shifter. No, you can't get on my dragon sized dick. That can't fit in any human and I will not try.”

    His voice was bored, but his eyes were quietly furious. This was something of a nightmare for his people- something of a bedtime story. But more then anything he hated- oh he hated- that he would have to obey whoever bought him.

    So he bared his teeth as the auction started off. And he felt as if he had to offer a warning to anyone interested, loud over the shouts.

    “I bite. You fools.”

    Narcissus (nsfw altered body stuff possible)

    He'd been, foolishly, looking to see what the water was all about. It was just something in a pond- something that seemed off that he wanted to sniff carefully. Which was how Nara had been snatched up. Snatched up and Nara was scrabbling for the shore.

    “Damnit!” Claws formed on his hands, and black scales went up his arms, down his legs. Nara cursed up a storm as he strained and tried to pull himself free. The more he struggled, the more dragon like- with horns and a functioning tail- would form in his effort to get free. He'd even form wings if that's what got him out of this.

    Wildcard

    Have Nara in other prompts or locations! He's a dragon shifter OC and yes he is a grumpy boy. Also hey I'm Nammah. Hoping to see how well he'll click here before asking for an invite! And yes. Yes you can have a human sized dragon dick.
    eaudevamp: (sᴏғᴛ sᴍɪʟᴇ)

    [personal profile] eaudevamp 2024-08-17 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Reign hadn't intended to partake in the auction, but he knows what it's like to be paraded around before and be made to partake in such displays. It's only through the goodwill of another guest that he managed to get off the hook that time. This time around, he decides to see if there's any of the Wildcards that look out of place, seeking to be freed from being stuck here.

    His interest is piqued at the mention of a dragon shifter, more so a d-sized dick. Not that he has ever experienced one before. A dildo, yes, but that doesn't compare to the real deal. Then again, he isn't human, so the stipulation doesn't apply to him.

    But the dragon shifter bites? Reign tries not to let his imagination run wild, and instead focuses on at least plucking the poor shifter out of this obviously uncomfortable place. So when the bidding war begins, there are already a few interested party, all eager to get their hands on a grumpy dragon shifter. Reign waits for the appropriate timing, then adds his own bid at the last second, nearly double the amount of the previous number.

    And done! Once everything is finalised, Reign is quick to approach the dragon shifter and lead him offstage, all smiles at his new purchase. Though the moment they're out of sight, his smile turn softer as his attention pivots towards the Wildcard. ]


    Some people like being bitten, you know, so your threat wouldn't work. [ This close, Nara may notice that this Servant guest who just saved him isn't quite human. There's a delectable calming scent surrounding the brunet, as does the slit pupils of his blue eyes. ] Ah, my name is Reign. Now, let's get you out of here first.

    [He felt little more then a big slab of meat. Okay...a medium slab of meat, on the hook and waiting to be grabbed up. If he had been aware of how things went, how people really wanted it- to be rough, bitten, all of it- he would have shut up. Been silent and only snarled, like something feral. Not like the creature used to working hard and having the finer things in life.

    It was a high number. He supposed it was a bit of a compliment that he went for something better then pennies.

    Nara follows, silent, clearly resentful but obedient. It's only away from the others- those that had been leering and clearly enjoying looking him over- that he relaxes, and takes Reign in.

    It part, it was the scent that helped with it all. He wanted to keep smelling it- like it was a candle lit in the room. Something new, that he could not quite place.]


    Well...I did mean that it would be bitten off. Eventually.

    [Which is also a kink he has no idea others might like. Finally, he brushes his hand through his hair with a shaky sigh.]

    Nara- but you heard that. Where are we going?

    [Now that he was away from the stage, he was tired, and a little shaky from the anxiety. Maybe he could just have a chance to shower- or find pants.]

    [ The Golden Peacock may be a resort and casino, but it's undeniably a fuck hotel at the end of the day. A place of indulgence and debauchery, though that isn't only about sex.

    Regardless, at least they're now further away from prying eyes and curious ears, and the security no longer gives them a second look seeing that Nara has been auctioned off. Reign just need to make sure that no other bidder attempt to kidnap the man away. He has seen it happen before. Scuffles and all-out brawl, fighting over a guest they'd their eyes on.

    For now, there's a tilt of his head as he rewinds Nara's implication of what would be bitten off. And then his eyes widen, before he leans in and whispers. ]
    All right, so others might have a thing for that, and though I don't mind a little pain myself, I rather have my dick intact. [ Is he revealing more about his own kinks than necessary? Anyway...

    He clears his throat, stepping out of the casino and looking around, having noticed the weariness in Nara's eyes, the way he seems to fidget nervously. ]
    Well then, Nara, we can head back to your suite to rest, find clothes for you — unless you don't mind what you're wearing now — or grab something for you to eat. Have you eaten?
    tonguetoxicity: (hurting)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-17 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
    [The Golden Peacock was a very fancy fuck hotel at least. If it had been seedy and all kinda of run down- well Mara would have pitched an icy fit. He had standards.

    And clearly no idea that he was such a prize- or that someone could try to snatch him up in the first place. Bad attitude or not? The shifter was in way over his head.

    Still, he leaned in to murmur his reply.]


    You've behaved. I won't bite yours off.

    [He's behaved? Nara, you're the one who's been bought, not him.

    But it could be blamed on the lack of food. He shook his head, straightening up. Still trying to project some strength.]


    Not since I arrived. It just didn't appeal.

    [Aka he was too nervous and resentful to eat.]

    But I'd rather get dressed. I feel like a sex toy in this thing.
    eaudevamp: (ʜᴇʏ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ)

    [personal profile] eaudevamp 2024-08-17 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
    [ It's the grumpy attitude that certain guests love to tame. Not Reign, though. Not when Nara said he has "behaved", and he tries not to let that simple statement affect him much. There are more important matters at hand to handle.

    But hearing that Nara has yet to eaten has Reign worried. ]
    Not even at the feast? Or does it not meet your diet...? [ He's careful with the way he worded it, wondering if Nara perhaps require a different kind of sustenance for his meal. After all, Reign himself can't eat normal "human" food. ]

    Clothes it is, then. I know a few stores with attires that would look good on you. [ Not that Reign has any idea what kind of fashion Nara tends to wear. He just hopes his choices aren't too far-fetched. Regardless, he waves for Nara to follow him, keeping stride as he occasional introduce some of the locations of the resort. Fortunately, it doesn't take long before they arrive at the Nest where the main shopping district is situated. ]

    Let's see, what do you think of jackets or waistcoats? Something like what I'm wearing? [ He asks as he waves a hand at himself, his attire one of a style reminiscent of Victorian fashion, sporting a cream coloured dress shirt, a light brown waistcoat and matching trousers, with an red ascot tie around his neck. ] Or do you prefer something more contemporary? Modern?
    tonguetoxicity: (I knows my business)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-17 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
    [He'd be the type that others might love to see break down and beg. Thank goodness Reign isn't interested in such things.

    At the question, Nara shook his head.]


    I didn't want the food at the feast.

    [No special diet, even for his kind. He was just being fussy.

    But he follows, not realizing the compulsion in place as he does. He merely thinks it's a good idea to follow his rescuer.]


    The modern suit is more what I'm used to. But I'll take anything that's not overly sexual.
    eaudevamp: (ᴄʜᴏᴏsɪɴɢ ᴛɪᴍᴇ)

    [personal profile] eaudevamp 2024-08-17 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
    [ If nothing else, Reign rather be the one to break down and beg. Maybe on his knees, blindfolded and bound. Or perhaps tied up in bed.

    At the negative response, Reign nods in understanding. ]
    All right. We can always grab a bite after getting you clothes.

    [ Hunger makes people cranky. And cranky people are easily manipulated by the resort for its own entertainment. Reign rather have Nara at least enjoy his time here, regardless of whether the man ends up registered as a guest here. ]

    Got it! Give me a moment. [ Reign leaves Nara standing amongst the rows of suits, some intricate, others more simplistic, yet still stylish. Soon enough, he returns with two selections. ] Here... which do you want to try?
    tonguetoxicity: (mulling)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-17 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
    [If nothing else, Nara would enjoy Reign on his knees, pulling his hair and whispering into his ear. If they had time to get to know each other- and if Nara didn't feel so cornered, that is.]

    Of course.

    [Reign might have to coax him, because he's a stubborn cranky boy. The clothing at least, he's open to.

    He stands among the suits, peering at them, leaning in to smell one, touch another. When Reign comes back, he has to jerk his head away from one of the suits.

    Just smelling as a way to ground himself, see if there is anything familiar. Something that would make Reign's scent to make sense to him.]


    The first, I think. If there's no changing rooms, that's fine.

    I'll just get changed quickly.

    Narcissus

    [personal profile] blastedass 2024-08-19 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
    [Dodging away from the majority of the resort's shenanigans this time around has kept Bakugo very busy. From posing (working) as a bouncer in the casino to getting roped into battling in the arena (at least he was game for that crap) to blowing up a few damn statues trying to grab people. Escaping from all of that for the time being, he makes for the showers to get washed off from the last skirmish in the arena. Not the showers in the locker rooms, but one in the apartment floors.

    Cutting across one of the Grecian centers to get to the guest wing, Bakugo pulls to a stop at the cacophony. What the hell? Flapping, scraping, splashing, screeching, sounds like a fucking monster's stuck in a trap. He pivots on his leg and abandons the previous path, moving to the railing to look down at the small pond centered in the crossway. Holy shit! For a second, he's torn between what he sees, one part obviously human, the other part rapidly melting into scales and claws.

    It reminds him instantly of Ryukyu when she transforms into her dragon form. Except this guy doesn't look like he's able to do it in one go. Without a word, he vaults over the railing, dropping from the upper floor straight towards the pool. Heat and light charge in one hand, eyes narrowed as he judges the depth of the pool, the distance that tail reaches, and the area around them. No injury or collateral damage asides from getting a lot of shit really wet-

    KA-BOOM!!

    Like a depth charge going off in the water, Bakugo slams his hand into the pool's surface and detonates the explosion simultaneously. Liquid rushes outward in a wave, blowing the black-scaled half-dragon over the rim of the pool, along with half the water in the body of water. What a soaking mess. Luckily, this is Grecian theme! Most of the decor around here is stone and the water will run off into drains around the room. Not that he gives a shit if this place is gonna get wet.

    They shouldn't have watery death traps!

    Bakugo already rebounds from the recoil of his explosion, flipping backwards and landing on his feet near the dragon, but out of claw reach.]
    What the hell? Can't you swim?
    tonguetoxicity: (lone wolf)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-19 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
    [It was smart to stay busy, do things. Honestly, Nara would have loved to have been doing things, rather than having to transform to get away from drowning.

    He'd been struggling, seeing that someone, finally was coming to the rescue- not that he expected to be rescued in such a dramatic way.

    Up Nara went, going butt over head, his back, tail- wings, the most painful part-slamming down onto the lovely Grecian stone floor. He'll heal quick, but wow that hurt.

    Now freed, he flipped back over, ignoring the fact that he was in robes that left nothing to the imagination. They were pretty wrecked in the back anyway.]


    Fuck yes I know how to swim.

    [Onto his hands and knees, his tail thrashed, clearly irritated. But he's not about to attack the person who just did some sort of explosion. Won't stop him from swearing at him though.]

    No one told me the water here tries to drown people.
    blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Fuck it. We're dead.)

    [personal profile] blastedass 2024-08-19 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
    [He'll have the opportunity to do those things if he ends up being a "lucky" one. Unfortunately, that also includes getting almost drowned by some damn water trick. Or in this case, blown out of the water like a lizard riding the wild surf. As the water washes over the floor, Bakugo avoids looking at it, focusing on the other guy now that he's out of the water. Even if the reflection showed up again, no one's going to drown in 1/4 an inch of water.

    So maybe he could've been less explosive, especially after hearing the dragon land on his wings with a painful layered thud. Ewugh. Does it hurt worse to spread them out before landing or tuck them close together? Mental note: don't ask Ryukyu that.

    Bakugo gives the guy a once over, ignoring the state of his frayed robes. He himself is in little more than a pair of distressed black jeans and an open button down shirt that's practically see-through due to the sweat from his previous activity.]


    Then what the hell were you doing in the water? [Looked to him like the dragon was trying to climb out after falling in! OR something pathetic like that. Bakugo jerks his thumb over his shoulder towards the half-empty pool.] Haa?! Drown you?

    [Sadly, that eerily tracks...]
    tonguetoxicity: (mulling)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-19 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
    Do you think I wanted to take a bath? What do I look like, a bird?

    [His gaze is sour as he made to pull up to his full height. No strange legs, no clawed toes, so he's still at his usual, five ten of height. Well, unless one counted the horns.

    His wings flapped once, irritated, and he looked Bakugo over. He never thought that he would be jealous of black jeans. Distressed black jeans, no less.

    He might have intentionally tried to sprinkle the blond with water. Who's above petty? Not Nara.]


    I got pulled in, genius. The water was acting weird, I tried to smell if it was magic, and it snatched me.

    [His tail thumped again, annoyed, and he flapped his wings again, and spread them. He was really trying to dry them off a bit, not get Bakugo wet.

    Mostly.]

    [Well if you ascribe to the dinosaurs had feathers... maybe?]

    Try a half-drown lizard.

    [A winged lizard. Bakugo watches the guy stand up, noticing the draconic extras have retracted back to the normal human guise. Minus the horns and wings and tail. Is this guy a human who can turn into a dragon or a dragon disguised as a human?

    These jeans are shit. They're tight, compared to the usual baggy jeans he prefers, and the tears and rips in them are stupid. Eve the hems bite into his pelvis. He's starting to envy the boardshorts he got a month ago at the beach.

    Red eyes narrow when those flapping wings end up getting water all over him. One, he's already a sweaty mess from the arena. Two, he just blew half the pond into the air. This isn't making him any wetter... But his hand sparks again, threatening.]


    The water? [Bakugo looks at the pool. Statues were attacking people. Is it a strange idea the water would too?] Move. [With that, he heads forward, stalking past the guy and indicating he should follow him. If the water pulled him in, then they should obviously get the hell away from it.] You can dry off somewhere else.

    [He'd look so cute with feathers. Really, he would.]

    Don't. Call me that.

    [He really did not being called a lizard! Even if he was letting his scales turn back to skin, his horns retract, he is of half the mind to give Bakugo a head butt or something similar- despite how he saved him.

    But he's settling for being petty and cooling off with a few droplets. The sparks are just sparks.

    Despite the snapping, he follows Bakugo away from the water, letting his body become more and more human as he walks.]


    Where to? Your place?

    [Annoyance is shifting over to curiosity.]

    Because I have no idea where anything is in this weird hotel.

    [What if it's just one dorky one out the top of his head...]

    Shut it. Don't tell me what to do.

    [He'll call him whatever he fucking wants. Dragon, lizard, gila monster, legged snake. Bakugo either doesn't believe the guy will go for petty revenge, or he's ready for an attempt as he walk ahead of him.

    The water sprinkling from earlier was already an attempt. Even if it makes him wonder whether that'll come back to bite him in the ass later. That was apparently "tried to drown me" water this guy just tossed all over him! Sprinkled...

    Best they leave the body of water behind before something else tries to grab them. He'd rather deal with the statues.]


    You think I wanna get water all over my room?! I'm going to the showers.

    [He assumes this guy is new here...]
    tonguetoxicity: (relaxing)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-19 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
    [He'd pull it out. Every time. That's too cute to handle, with a tiny feather.]

    Call me that again, and I'll bite your ass off.

    [He might. Or he might not. Maybe all the swearing and growling is just all bark.

    At least the wings were going away, and the tail too. Man or dragon, he just looks wet and grumpy, like anyone else would be after an unexpected soaking.

    And, well, he hasn't even heard of what the statues are doing. Fun!]


    Showers? Just like...gym room showers, or weird showers?

    [Because this place was so weird. And he was starting do suspect those showers might have...gross wall hangings.]

    Narcissus

    [personal profile] tohell 2024-08-20 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
    Having some trouble? [ Obviously this is a purely rhetorical question, asked with the air of a casual observer commenting on the scenery. Statuesque and littered with as many fantastical attributes as Nara, J steps into view with an unhurried stride that gradually brings him closer to the ruckus.

    Anyone within earshot would be able to tell the disturbance in this particular pond isn't merely a bout of playful frolicking. The tight embrace encircling Nara's upper half might as well be a steel trap for how it holds fast no matter his valiant struggle. There's no indication of it being any less deadly either, with how the arms around him continuously try dragging Nara down into a watery grave.

    J hardly seems bothered. Either by Nara's predicament or the very real possibility of watching someone meet a grisly end. ]


    Wish I could offer a helping hand. But you see, if I approach— [ The water shimmers as J's reflection begins to take shape. It winks in and then out of existence as he slips away from where his steps had taken him nearly to the shoreline. ]

    You would have more than your own reflection to contend with. [ In actuality, the problem would likely be J's. The recent water-based replicas tend to target their original selves and he's not eager to join Nara in taking a scenic trip to the bottom of those murky depths, getting lungfuls of algae and pond water. ]

    Then again, there are other ways I might be of assistance. [ J offers the suggestion with a thoughtful tilt of his head, as though the idea had simply come to him on a whim. Hopefully Nara still has enough wits about him and air in his lungs to strike up a deal with a demon. ]
    tonguetoxicity: (I will eat your face)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-20 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
    [He's pretty sure he's being taunted. His head jerks up, all amber eyes and fangs. If he could get out, he would have; he was using his talons to try to dig into the ground and anchor himself. But he's losing. He could feel himself losing and getting closer and closer to drowning.

    And here was this...man...was having far too much fun about it. Sure, there was the risk from the other reflection- but at this rate, it was worth it, least to him. Misery loves company and all that.

    But...also...a deal. This was nasty, and would likely bite him later. He felt himself duck under briefly, and he ended up struggling up, spitting up water.]


    If you get me out-

    [He hissed. Wings flexed as he tried to regain ground.]

    I don't care how. What do you want?
    tohell: (pic#16430186)

    [personal profile] tohell 2024-08-22 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Nara may be very preoccupied with the business of not becoming a permanent fixture decorating the lake's muddy floor, but J doesn't allow the dire situation to influence the speed pace at which he lays out his terms. Relaxed and leisure, the negotiations continue on, with J striding along the perimeter of the pond. J remains at precisely the right distance to keep his gaze from meeting any ripple of a watery reflection upon the surface and prevent against summoning his own lookalike. ]

    Just a favor. [ The word hangs in the air for a moment before J continues. ] One teensy little request that you'll fulfill for me.

    Some other time, of course. I don't expect your end of the bargain to be satisfied immediately after getting yourself into, well. [ J sweeps a hand out to gesture vaguely to the life-or-death struggle taking place just a short distance away, the expression that settles over striking features is apathetic beneath the gossamer veneer of a paper-thin smile. ]

    This little predicament.
    tonguetoxicity: (knee jerk)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-22 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [J was having a great time and Nara was being so attacked right now.

    His body was starting to shake. But he was also becoming less human. Larger, to try and escape. More dragon, less human, to give his back legs anchors.

    But he knew he was seconds away from being the latest corpse of the lake. He slipped, cursed, and scrambled to dig talons into the soil.]


    Damnit. Fine. Deal.

    Now get me out!

    [He has a feeling this will be more of a rescue when he's half drowned but that doesn't stop him from snapping the demand.]
    tohell: (pic#15864485)

    [personal profile] tohell 2024-08-25 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
    Nice of you to be quick about it. [ J idly rubs his forefinger and thumb together, coolly examining the press of two fingers without paying Nara's attempts to anchor himself to the shore any mind. ]

    These things are much easier when the other party is the obliging type. [ In other words, someone desperate enough not to demand any stipulations or limitations that might protect their interests. Which is ideal for him, when J prefers to take some liberties with how his contracts ultimately pan out in the end. Just ask the demon's ward about how J had twisted their arrangement around to suit the demon's self-interests. ] 

    [ By this time, a half dozen scattered sparks have condensed into a single palm-sized flame. Flickering with the breeze that wafts off a cooling pond, it hovers above the pinch of fingers that have coaxed it into being. ]

    Now that all of that's been nicely squared away, you might want to duck. [ The suggestion rolls off his tongue like a passing thought, absent the gravitas of a dire warning or weighty reprimand that should proceed in the manner of assistance befitting a rescue. Help comes with a cursory glance at the pond's occupants and a quick flick of his wrist towards the watery altercation. With this and a snap of his fingers, J releases the rapidly growing fireball from whatever magical tethers keeping it within his clutches. As it hurls at the struggling pair, that roiling mass of flames seems aimed directly for the head of the watery specter wearing Nara's face. ] 
    tonguetoxicity: (hurting)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-08-25 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
    [Yeah, he was going to be royally screwed over with whatever favor that J wanted from him. From that taunt, the casual way he went about building up his flame- something about this favor was going to go into another favor, and another.

    He'd taken the collar and latched it onto his own neck.

    Such was the way with demons and contracts.

    But Nara still dropped his body, hugging the ground with all the strength that he could muster. And the fireball got a soild hit into the watery reflection of the dragon. There was a scream, and it dissolved into a scalding puff of steam-or so Nara assumed.

    As soon as he felt the grip let go, he skittered away from the water, chest heaving and eyes wide. He was all over scales, horned and long-tailed, talons digging into the soft ground.

    Who knew. He might have looked more demon than dragon currently.]
    tohell: (pic#16361724)

    [personal profile] tohell 2024-09-26 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Who knows how long J's fiery assault would interfere with whatever influence the resort held over the lake and therefore Nara's doppelgänger. With how quickly anyone who happened to peer into recently enchanted waters encountered a startlingly accurate duplicate, the demon has to assume his efforts have only provided a temporary reprieve. If luck is on their side it might keep the clone at bay for just long enough to put this, and any other areas with standing water, behind them.

    In stories old and new, a valiant rescue set against the backdrop of a dire situation typically turns into a hasty retreat. But their encounter so far has hardly been a fairy tale, despite the fact Nara has played the part of both dragon and the damsel-in-distress. Meanwhile, J is anything but a knight, armored or otherwise. His lack of chivalry is more than apparent as he pads over towards the fearsome-looking creature that's more wings and scales than soft skin without offering a word of consolation. ]


    Shall we go before your drippy double reappears? Should he decide to come ashore and join us, I doubt the kind of threesome he'd be gunning for would have a happy ending. [ The Archduke isn't the patient sort under normal circumstances. Now that he's taken Nara under his proverbial wing, the shifter's problems have become his own, making him eager for a change of scenery. He may be impervious to harm and unfazed by the threat of death, but sometimes there are more ghastly things to fear than maiming and murder. Like slimy aquatic weeds tangled up in his freshly washed hair, should he wind up at the bottom of the lake.

    Pale wings spread wide to catch a breeze that ripples the lake's surface, momentarily absent Nara's unnatural twin. Demons don't depend on the weather to manipulate elements that bend to their will. As his companion witnessed earlier, the Archduke can summon up a flame with merely a snap of his fingers. The same is true for the wind, building beneath a sudden beat of wings that begins to lift the pads of his leonine paws off the sandy shoreline. ]


    There's a quaint little pavilion a short distance over behind the grove there. [ A graceful nod of his head signals the direction he plans on heading. One might think J has entirely dismissed the notion that his company could have opinions on their travel plans, but he does manage to cast a glance back at the other man with an impish curl of his lips to offer him an ounce of acknowledgment and a hefty bit of ribbing. ] Can you make it on your own, or will you need to be carried over?

    tonguetoxicity: (knee jerk)

    [personal profile] tonguetoxicity 2024-09-26 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
    [To call this a fairy tale would be considered a joke. Or at least one of caution. Do not let curiosity fuel being lured in, or the demons may get you.

    Hopefully Nara will take this lesson to heart.

    But flapping his own wings, he grimaced. They were sopping wet. If there was wind acting like it was a blow dryer, maybe it would be possible. Still, with the possible threat of the watery grabber, they wouldn't have time.

    Nara sighed, and moved to tuck his wings back in. Where, hard to say. It was magic. ]


    If you want to fly over together, then I will have to carried over.

    [His tail lashed. It annoyed him.]

    But I can walk. Even run. I'm not in a threesome mood either.
