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!

    "For my sake", hm?

    [Matoba seems awfully skeptical about that, but the smile curling his lips doesn't dim in the least, given the situation. He'd been snatched as he tried to skulk about the casino walls, observing the nonsense of the games from afar and dodging other high-low couples moaning and pleasing another.]

    [The dice scatter across the table and land on snakeyes. How fitting, Matoba thinks.]

    [Drawing his single, snake-like visible eye up and down Dante's body, it catches on the tattoos spread across his upper body- and, more importantly, the sensation of power which emanated from them.]

    [Yes. He'd allow himself to be tangled up in this little game- if he can use it to examine this man.]
    Well, then. [Matoba stands from where he'd been knelt across from Dante, tongue wetting his lips. Mouth-only, it is.] Shall I suck your cock right here, or do you prefer your pleasure to be more private?
    flaminghot: (He tried to start a fire)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-08-27 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ It’s only through years of training and discipline that he’s managed to avoid a shudder when he meets Matoba’s gaze, something about him reminding him of the malevolent energies of that one villain he’d failed to subdue not too long ago. The aura is similar, and that lazy predator’s gaze isn’t terribly reassuring, but…

    He’s not a man to be so easily cowed by mere dark energies.

    His steely determined gaze is not at all hampered by that embarrassed flush to his cheeks at Matoba’s suggestion, shut up. ]


    …Why do I get the feeling you’d bite it off instead?

    [ Why does he get the feeling that this guy requires the opposite of careful handling? ]
    worldbent: (pic#15845038)

    [personal profile] worldbent 2024-08-28 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
    [Matoba, with a hunter's instinct, catches on to Dante's reluctance like a fly to sugar. It's true that Matoba's aura had a somewhat cold and oily sensation to it; his magic, despite being "purification", was less like the sort of pure blessings invoked from the gods and more akin to curses dragging malevolence down with them. An unpleasant sensation, no matter how you cut it.]

    [But it merely tickles him. His troublesome grin widens, noting the flush over Dante's tanned skin that only makes his markings stand out more. That's quite attractive, isn't it? He wonders how far they extend.]


    I wouldn't dream of it, [He purrs, inclining his head respectfully as he bows to the "god" he's been assigned to, and then lifts his head again just enough to meet eyes with the man again.] ...If you don't make things too difficult. My lord.

    [Dripping sarcasm. The man's smugness makes it clear he is not one prone to subservience.]
    Edited 2024-08-28 03:21 (UTC)
    flaminghot: (At first siren?)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-08-31 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
    [ …He does not like this guy at all, and that has less to do with his aura as it does his general demeanor. ]

    Hmph. At least you know your manners.

    [ He’s tempted to just ask for a different servant or have himself be let alone, but…that won’t do. He can’t always rely on Eiden for things like these. He’ll be fine without him.

    He’ll be fine. ]


    But let’s see how far you can take it…

    [ He extends his hand to Matoba to use his mouth on, thinking that he’d receive nothing more than a respectful kiss to get things started— ]

    [Yeah. He gets that a lot.]

    [Matoba merely smiles, charming and bright, at Dante's utterly naive read on his behavior. That's right; here he is, just a lowly 2 in service of a beloved Wildcard, a fool yet to understand what sort of realm he's been pulled into. To kindly take them by the hand, to worship them, to adore them- it is all the charade of lulling them into a false sense of security, pulling the wool over their eyes for what is yet to come upon assignment.]

    [And watching how they will handle it- that is what the exorcist is watching for. Who to keep an eye on, and who will be easy targets, both.]

    [The stubborn man holds out his hand and Matoba's hawkish eye draws down to it, a royal expecting to receive tribute. So he wants it right here on the casino floor, does he? Why not give him exactly what he wants? Mouth only. Matoba folds himself respectfully, primly next to Dante seat before his hand and leans forward, brushing his lips along the pads of a strong hand, observing the callouses brought about by swordwork or some other manner of work, warm breaths furling over skin. And then the scrape of teeth, just the slightest bit, over the inside of Dante's wrist.]

    [His eye never leaves Dante's. He is watching, even as he pays his "respects"- when lips trace back over where his teeth scraped and he draws back just enough to nip and flick tongue over the tips of his fingers, like a leoger kitten. Meow.]

    [ His hands are indeed callused from sword work—from all sorts of training, really, as well as faint burn scars here or there, some traces of his fire elemental energy simmering just below the surface. He has no intention of wielding that power right now, however; he’s heating up for an entirely different reason, and that reason is… ]

    You…

    [ He hadn’t expected Matoba to go this far, and now he can’t help but watch, furiously blushing yet transfixed, mesmerized by the motions of that tongue that reminds him somehow of Sooley, except that instead of an abrasive feline tongue, he seems to have stuck his hand into a far more dangerous snare… ]

    That’s…enough.

    [ Despite his best attempts at composure there’s no hiding just how visibly rattled he is, his skin flushed, his body thrumming heat both supernatural and mundane, both totally fixated on these profound new sensations he’d just been introduced to. ]

    [personal profile] worldbent 2024-09-14 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
    Really?

    [He says it so easily, leaning away again from Dante's fingertips to lift his chin. Crimson meets mismatched eyes- so common in these parts, myriad golds and reds and greens- and takes note of them, against the pallet of Dante's flushed skin.]

    [So easily brought to this. Matoba grins. He likes prey like this. So denying of themselves, so unsure. So stubborn. He'd like to know more of this man's story; he'd like to know the story behind the power he can feel emanating from under his skin, those markings, the aura like flames under the surface. And, his utterly naive yet obstinate personality.]


    That's all you wanted? I'd think it wouldn't even satisfy the requirements of the game........

    [It's a challenge presented demurely as a servant ought to be: if you want to forfeit, and switch ranks with me, but think of what I'll do then.]

    Or... [He continues, innocent,] ...does his lordship prefer to take me somewhere more private, after all?

    [Somehow, this all feels as though it is according to this man's plan, doesn't it?]
    flaminghot: (He tried to start a fire)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-09-15 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ His gaze hardens at the suggestion. No, he certainly hasn’t forgotten this stupid game, but he’s obstinate enough not to back down from a challenge, even if it’s purely luck-based and he has a strong likelihood to end up in a worse place because of it.

    And he most definitely doesn’t relish the thought of having their roles reversed. Not when Matoba as he is already feels like a predator in hiding—a creature that’s just patiently watching him, waiting for the right chance to strike— ]


    We’re staying right here.

    [ Even if he knows there are others watching, never mind if most of them are currently embroiled in the games themselves.

    He’d never done anything so intimate in public before, despite all those close calls with Eiden. Only now…

    He feels trapped, which is a sensation he hasn’t felt in quite some time, only instead of frustrating or frightening him, he can feel his heart racing, his skin flushing deeper, his mind turning to thoughts of…

    He loosens the sheer garments he’d been saddled with, letting them fall over his shoulders, catching at his elbows to expose a lot of those chest markings Matoba had been so curious about, as he does his best to look as fierce and nonchalant about this as possible (he completely fails at this because he can’t ever be anything but honest). ]


    Do your worst, then, while I consider a suitable punishment for your insolence in the meantime.

    [Matoba's eyebrow flits upward, amusement at the ease with which his goading stokes the fire in this man's belly. A fire of one sort, warmed by another; he knows his actions haven't left the man unaffected, either, or else wouldn't he simply be rebuffed?]

    [But this stubborn pride is charming in its own way next to the previous flashes of inexperience. Better yet than a man led easily along was a man eagerly led along, eager to prove oneself. And Matoba does not shy from that insistence, carefully reaching upward to lay one hand firmly over Dante's thigh to brace himself. "Mouth only" it said. Very well; then that hand will stay there, grounding through everything.]


    Very well. And if I manage to make you come, master, shall I think of a suitable way to use you? [Matoba purrs, tilting his head downward. Even then, his eyes don't leave his "master". When fabric falls to reveal more of those proud markings, his eye scans across them with curiosity, taking them in, taking in the hard, worked muscle of his shoulders and chest, down his torso on his way to the point of interest below the belted tunic. His ponytail slips from his shoulder and hangs brushing against Dante's inner thighs as he shifts forward, teeth nipping at spots along them and nosing his way into the Wildcard's groin where he feels out the heat and shape of him beginning to stir under thin fabric with his lips.]

    [Only a tease, since these tunics and togas left little to the imagination to begin with. Matoba, a lowly 2 and the lowest rank "servants" available, had been given barely a swath of fabric to wind about his pale waist and torso, easily tugged away for the easy access to intimacy that any royal or Wildcard wanted of him. But there was no self-consciousness about the man, about the acts taking place all around them, and least of all about the act he was about to commit, nosing his way under the skirt of Dante's tunic to mouth soft lips along the hot beginnings of a erection.]
    flaminghot: (But his plans went up in smoke)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-09-27 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ He watches Matoba, heart pounding, half-expecting the man to simply bite his member off, and that little soft noise of surprise he fails to suppress in time is the only indication of where his thoughts have run in that one moment.

    It’s times like these that he feels truly helpless in the face of his own inexperience… ]


    You wouldn’t dare—

    [ Dare to do what? Imagine him in a submissive position? Challenge him? Actually get his mouth all over him? But Matoba’s breaking past his barriers with such disturbing ease that Dante’s tempted to call off this game, but…

    But that’s tantamount to losing.

    And he doesn’t want to consider that perhaps he might even enjoy having their roles reversed, that he might even be just a little…afraid of this man and the malevolent energies surrounding him. It brings to mind certain old legends of Solaria about evil spirits, to say nothing of the ever-present threat of the Dark Zone…

    But Matoba is quite corporeal, quite human, and too painfully skilled with his mouth for his own good, and in spite of himself his cock is most certainly enjoying Matoba’s attentions, while Dante’s hands grip at the lounge cushions as he fights off the urge to simply pick up this man and ram him face-first into the pillows and—

    This is bad. He can’t think. His thoughts are melting away with the heat of Matoba’s mouth, and the bastard has barely just begun. ]

    [Pick him up and what, Dan-dan? ♥︎]

    [It's very unfortunate for Dante that he wears his frustrations and his arousal both on his sleeve, the flush of his skin adding an attractive glow befitting a man contracted to spirits of fire. It spreads down his navel, up his thighs and fills out his cock, twitched and stiffening against Matoba's lips as he feels and tastes out the shape of him. Still a little soft, it's easy to take him in his lips and nurse in patches of wet along skin, feel the thrum of heat as blood rushes down, stroke his tongue along a vein and follow it as it runs to the tip.]

    [Every playful touch and kiss is tempered by the sharpness of Matoba's gaze that does not lift from Dante one bit in all that time. He's watching, cataloging every flinch, every bob of the man's adam's apple when he swallows, when his lips touch a sensitive spot or a shiver runs through him, watching from below as the man's ample chest begins to heave with breaths under the rushing of blood. The tattoos stand out even better now that sweat begins to gather over the flush, an attractive expanse from a man who seems very married to denying all of this.]


    No? [Matoba offers casually, tinged with mock-surprise. His lips lift away, threatening to abandon his erection in its time of need the moment he's gotten the man as hard as can be, still glistening wet.] Does his lordship prefer to forfeit, and hand the reins over to me now?

    That'd be a shame. [The wicked exorcist leans in again, and drags the full, wet cradle of his tongue across the swollen head of Dante's cock, warming its slit to contact- but short of taking him into his mouth in earnest, what with his denial and all.] We've yet to even begin.

    [ Sh—Shut it…! ]

    You…!

    [ He never thought he’d to run into someone actually worse than Eiden, but truly this world is full of surprises. It’s only years of strict discipline that’s even kept most of his reactions out of Matoba’s predatory gaze, but even that is making his skin tingle in ways he’d rather not think about right now.

    But Matoba’s successfully reduced him to a flushed, panting mess, Dante gritting his teeth to bite back an actual plea as Matoba pulls away before he comes, his nerves taut, his heart racing, every inch of his body crying out at him to flee—at least metaphorically.

    This is not a man to be toyed with. This is completely dangerous, uncharted territory.

    This is, somehow, extremely fucking sexy, but Eiden’s already proven that he has a thing for defiance, hasn’t he?

    So maybe Matoba denying him his climax is a blessing in disguise, for he surely would have lost then and there, unguarded and unprepared as he is for a truly dangerous and unpredictable foe. Right now he knows he’s being given a reprieve, knows that this is all some insidious trap, knows that Matoba’s just somehow going to win this encounter no matter what, but…

    He’s defeated impossible odds before, hasn’t he? And he’s still not going to back down from a challenge, trap or no trap! ]


    You utter fool

    [ He grabs Matoba firmly by the chin then, glaring down at him fiercely for a moment before he wrenches Matoba up onto his lap to kiss him senseless, his tongue eager but sloppy in its technique, tasting the remnants of his own burgeoning arousal on the other man’s tongue. ]
    worldbent: (pic#15912340)

    [personal profile] worldbent 2024-10-08 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
    [Wow, the frightening Sun Lord already about to burst after just a little teasing from a wet mouth? Matoba could make a comment about his stamina here, but he doesn't get the chance. He's too busy, shoulders shaking, cackling at the man's sputtering reactions. He's just too easy.]

    Ufufu--

    [Matoba barely gets a chuckle out before Dante is reaching out to grab for him, eye widening slightly just as his roughened palm grips at his chin and leads him upward. The servant is obliging none the less, raising himself up from his knees to straddle Dante's lap instead; their cocks brush, Matoba no less aroused by their activities, and brushing past the wetter cock in Dante's lap, his mouth opens with a shiver to the invasion of Dante's tongue, heat passing between their mouths, between their bodies.]

    [He allows Dante to plunder and bully as he likes, this time- and as much as his hips tempt to buck, as much as his fingertips itch to wrap around them both and stroke, he keeps to the rules of the game. Mouth only; so he focuses instead on pushing his tongue against the other man's, sucking on the one that invades his mouth, each movement slow and precise and mechanical, a conniving contrast to Dante's sloppy enthusiasm.]

    [It's only when they finally break for breath that he rasps out a chuckle again, tracing Dante's mouth with his own.]


    The rules say that I may only use my mouth, [Matoba purrs, his voice warmed with his own arousal,] but I suppose they said nothing about what you can do to me.

    [If Dante is reading that wicked statement as an invitation, who could blame him?]
    flaminghot: (I lava good fire pun)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-10-10 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
    I make my own rules.

    [ Honestly, it’s a miracle that he can even manage that particular retort considering how…bewilderingly talented Matoba is at simple kissing. The things one could do with one’s tongue… Or maybe it’s just that he hasn’t had much experience? Ugh. He won’t lose!

    Never mind if his voice comes out raspy and breathless! He’d like to think he has the upper hand right now! ]


    And I require silence.

    [ He might learn to regret making that order even as he dives back into that kiss, maneuvering them both with some awkwardness until Matoba’s back hits that couch and Dante’s straddling him for a change, stripping away what little clothing Matoba had been made to wear as he does his very best to search for a weak spot and avoid—with a mighty show of discipline—grinding down, because Matoba doesn’t deserve that kind of honor just yet— ]
    worldbent: (I feel the love feel the love)

    [personal profile] worldbent 2024-10-12 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Dante has a certain romance actor to thank for that- although Matoba's "skill" with kissing, mechanical and devoid of passion as it is, felt like it was more intended for something other than enjoyment, akin to music played straight from a textbook. Rote movements and careful attention to Dante's reactions dictate Matoba's own, toying with him still even as he huffs and puffs furiously in the wake of their clash.]

    I do not think that's how the game wrkph--

    [The dry, sassy remark is muffled by Dante's fiery insistence, pushed down onto his back and maneuvered into the crevice of the couch. His breath stutters, mostly because he's being practically crushed in half by Dante's weight setting upon him, but his body is easily revealed by the pushing away of the silky toga that had been foisted upon him, revealing easy access to pale skin.]

    [And, certainly, he isn't without his own interest- though not nearly fully hard yet, with a lack of attention and having barely gotten started on Dante when he'd been given access with his mouth, torn away before he could truly begin to appreciate the Fire Lord's flavor. Truly a shame, that, Matoba frowns to himself as the man's hands begin to roam his body.]


    I do believe that this constitutes a forfeit, [He says cooly instead, the gleam in his eye taking on a touch of annoyance and venom. Something about his smile said that Dante was in dangerous territory.] If you are refusing my service.

    Well? Is that right?
    flaminghot: (Burn this way)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-10-19 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ That look actually gets him to pause.

    Very few things in life have gotten him to do that. He’d been swift and decisive since that time he’d made a pact with the fire spirits, and…

    Matoba had managed to reach deep, deep down into some hidden primal instinct that he’d long since though buried.

    His hesitation doesn’t last, though. But still, however brief that pause was, it’s enough to rattle him, and he hates that.

    Just who—or what—is this man, anyway? ]


    …I ordered silence.

    [ Not that he expects Matoba to obey at this point. He’s not even sure he can actually stop him now. He’d lost control long ago and even like this he feels like he’s teetering on the edge of some steep precipice, and falling off a cliff still sounds a lot better than having to deal with whatever schemes this one is hatching.

    It’s aggravating.

    It’s intriguing.

    The part of him that loves a challenge can’t help but respect Matoba for posing a genuine challenge. And he can feel all the telltale signs of it—the racing heartbeat, the rush, the promise of pushing his physical limits…

    So he can’t help that grin of his, one that’s near-maniacal with desperation and extremely confused lust— ]


    You still have the opportunity to impress me.
    worldbent: (pic#16252313)

    [personal profile] worldbent 2024-11-02 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
    And you're accustomed to having your orders followed,

    [Matoba agrees silkily, tongue running along the rim of his upper lip. Peas in a little pod, aren't they?] No, rather, you're accustomed to only encountering those who will follow you without question? You need to work on your negotiation skills.

    [Matoba sits, back straight with his own strange nobility, his unflinching smile. "Negotiation" isn't the only way to put it. But he doesn't expect that this is a man who is clever enough to wind himself around another's neck like a snake.]

    [His hand slides up the front of Dante's torso to feel the hard muscle beneath, and then up over a thick pectoral to cup his hand there. He gazes upward through his lashes with his one visible eye, contemplating, while his back is crushed into the sofa by the weight of the man straddling him between his legs.]


    But I'm meant only to use my mouth. This is a pretty inconvenient situation for me. Are you going to submit to being pleasured by me, or not?
    flaminghot: (It was in tents)

    [personal profile] flaminghot 2024-11-08 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ That smile goes back to his usual frown at the thought of being made to submit. ]

    Fine, then. I’ll grant you a boon for having entertained me this far.

    [ He’s not sure this man could ever bore anyone. He’s not sure he even wants to be asleep or have his back turned to this one. And that’s kind of hot a challenge he intends to face head on, no matter what the consequences. ]

    I lift the restrictions upon you. Use whatever you wish to pleasure me. If you can.

    [ It’s a bold challenge, especially for someone as inexperienced as Dante, but in some strange way he can’t help but want to prove himself in front of this completely annoying and utterly fascinating one-eyed stranger.

    Who knows? Maybe he’ll learn the secrets to conquering the Dark Zone by conquering this one’s foul aura, and he’s not talking about the clearly malevolent energies swirling around this man and making Dante’s flame tattoos itch something terrible. ]
