TDM 06



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

On behalf of the house and resort, we would like to advise all Game 52 players to exercise caution around the Golden Peacock for the next few weeks. The veil between 'what is' and 'what has been' grows thin and the threads of fate have tangled in unexpected ways. We are currently observing how these two phenomena behave when they occur simultaneously and act in concert.

We advise that all guests monitor their physical states until the veil thickens once again and the threads of fate return to running parallel. If you find yourself undergoing any strange transformations, please report to the Broken Wing clinic for observation. We will do our utmost to make sure you are comfortable during this time.

You may also notice other strange phenomena around the Golden Peacock while the veil is thin. Please continue to exercise caution. New wayward spirits have joined us during this time. While spirits are crossing, it is possible for guests to get swept along into the ghostly realm.

As always, please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your stay. 】



HEADS
BASEMENT SUITES
SQUEEZING IN ► Thanks to a classic move called “overbooking,” new arrivals are being checked in to the rooms that have the most overall vacancies — the basement suites. Despite their small size and narrow twin beds, characters are stuffed up to three in a room. Don’t worry, that’s why the staff have thoughtfully removed the doors of every new arrival's room. It's easier to stuff inside that way, isn't it? More space for everyone!

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are warm autumnal plaids made of thick flannel to help keep warm through the supernatural chill. Some of these robes are more elaborate than others, with seasonal patterns like apples or pumpkins.

Existing characters currently living in a basement suite may find one or two new arrivals taking up residence in their room. The staff appreciate your understanding and willingness to share during this influx of new guests and spike of supernatural activity! There's safety in numbers. It's to everyone's benefit, really.
ICY HALLWAYS ► The normally dirty and forgotten hallways of the basement suites are in even worse shape than usual. Yellow stains ripple down the walls, the floor is coated in dust, and there are suspicious globs of something in the corners. Their standard chilly temperature has taken a sharp plunge to freezing. Guests without any resistance to cold will find it challenging to walk around the hallways without bundling up. For those that don't have the proper clothing, the staff suggest sharing some body heat and fucking to make do. They probably shouldn't have removed all those room doors, huh...

► Don't even talk about going out and about without shoes! Stepping in one of those gloopy puddles may unexpectedly trigger a fever or other similar illness. As time passes and the supernatural grows stronger, these goopy masses will crawl the walls and drip from the ceiling. As they grow stronger, so will the physical reaction to touching them. Guests may experience any of the CLUBS effects when the sludge is especially potent.

► When walking in any of the basement suite hallways, characters may hear the ghostly whispers from the maintenance levels. They are stronger than usual and can be heard on even the rank 3 and rank 4 floors. What's more, these whispers, if directed at a particular guest, can be heard by everyone in the vicinity. Whispers may provoke, accuse, and guilt characters by targeting their insecurities or regrets. These whispers will slowly turn to screams the closer the date creeps toward October 31st.
COMMUNAL BATHROOM GHOULS ► The ghouls in particular start becoming audacious as supernatural influence strengthens. A pesky group of water ghouls have marked the basement communal bathroom as their territory. Characters who seem particularly vulnerable or aren't paying attention to their surroundings may find themselves cornered by water ghouls in the showers. The ghouls are relentless, pushing and shoving and pulling hair for shits and giggles. Those on the lower end of the rank scale will suffer the worst harassment, and they may even go out of their way to harass wildcards and 2s.

Some especially raunchy water ghouls have taken to haunting the toilets, showers, and baths. The toilet ghouls have especially long tongues, which they stick out to get a lick of some unsuspecting ass. The bath ghouls, the most attractive of the lot, pretend to be guests and try to lure new arrivals and low ranks into a clandestine affair. The shower ghouls hide and outstretch their arms to shamelessly grab and squeeze whatever their grubby claws can touch.

► Despite the bravado, these water ghouls are not very strong and can be easily dealt with. They will run if someone overpowers them. They will flinch and hide if someone screams too loudly. And, most importantly, they're absolutely terrified of dry towels. They're supposed to be wet, damn it! Don't threaten them with being dry. Aiming a hair dryer at them is enough to get them curled on the ground in agony.
TAILS
BROKEN WING CLINIC
THE MORGUE ► Did we mention that we had some overbooking? Some unfortunate new arrivals won't be waking up in the basement suites with their peers. These guests, with a stroke of bad luck, will find themselves waking up in the morgue of the Broken Wing clinic. The morgue has never seen a real dead body before — so when waking up on morgue tray sliders, they thankfully won't be assaulted by any rancid smells.

► New arrivals waking up in the morgue will be covered with a white sheet. They will also be dressed in a standard white hospital gown, each of their big toes tagged with a cause of death. These causes of death, however, all seem to be a bit unusual. They range from 【 DIED AFTER SIX CONSECUTIVE ORGASMS, ABSOLUTE KING 】 to 【 DIED OF LITERAL EMBARRASSMENT, WHAT A DORK 】... it's not like the doctor expected you to see them!

Some especially unlucky guests will find that the door to their tray slider is locked. The keys to all of the tray sliders, as well as several mortuary tools, are available around the room for those that are kind enough to lend these poor souls a helping hand! It's just a matter of finding them. The desk and tool areas of the morgue are shockingly messy, as if the doctors and nurses left in a rush. Wonder why that is?
ABANDONED CLINIC ► Exploration of the clinic will yield some interesting results. Despite reception advising that those affected by the veil thinning should report to the clinic for observation, Broken Wing is completely void of any medical staff. The hallways are in ruin. Cabinets with medical files are empty. The beds have no patients. Even the air is musty. Broken Wing appears to have been abandoned for a long time.

► A small stroke of good luck — even if the doctors are gone, medical and general supplies can still be found scattered throughout the clinic. Guests can utilize staff clothing if they don't want to run around in those open-back hospital gowns. Over the counter medicines and bandages are available. Guests that may have had their eye on the harder prescription stuff can take this opportunity to scrounge through the clinic's pharmacy, now that there is no pharmacist to guard the goods.

► As exciting as a clinic free for all is, guests should be careful...
WALKING UNDEAD

Loud noises echo from the clinic's basement. Thud, thud, thud — heavy footsteps resound through the otherwise eerie silence. Muffled voices come in strange breaks, as if the speakers are having difficulty moving their mouths. Slowly, from around the corners and up the stairs, a group of long-standing guests drag their bodies awkwardly toward the sounds and warmth of any "living" guests in the clinic. Blue lips gape. Their skin is waxy and strange. They stare with red and yellow eyes. Then, slowly, they begin to drag their bodies forward...

► Zombified long-standing guests have been lurking in the clinic. These zombies are hungry for flesh in all meanings of the word. Some want one, some want the other, and some want both. Though they move slowly and have little control over their dead appendages, they are relentless, and will chase any non-zombie guests through the clinic.

► However, these zombies will not leave Broken Wing. Leaving the clinic is akin to a safe getaway. Those that want to fight will find that these zombies are fairly traditional: destroying their heads will kill them.

A bite or scratch from a zombie is a potent aphrodisiac. The guest that is bitten or scratched will similarly begin to hunger for flesh... mostly in the horny way, but if you want to play it in the hungry way, we support you. Guests will not transform into zombies from a bite or scratch. The aphrodisiac will continue to burn through their system until sexual satisfaction is achieved. Going without "the cure" with result in fever, hallucinations, chills, muscle pain, and other extremely uncomfortable symptoms.


MAIN LOBBY
THE VEIL THINS
A STRANGE MOON & ENDLESS NIGHT ► Darkness pervades the main lobby despite clocks claiming that morning hours have come. The grand chandeliers and fixtures are not working, so staff hurry to light lanterns around the central hub and connecting hallways. A strange full moon floats in the center of the lobby. This moon hovers silently, always staying close to the high ceiling, and never changes its phase even when passing days begin accumulating.

Those that bask in the pale light of the moon for too long may begin to feel an itch of strangeness... this itch will go away once farther from the moon. Once a guest basks in the moonlight, they might feel the overwhelming urge to continue doing so. It's inexplicable how this gentle moonlight feels like it can help them become their true self.

► An endless night will continue to accompany the moon. This night covers the entire main lobby, front reception, the elevator bank, and several hallways that deposit into the lobby. While the endless night is in play, all affected areas will feel the cool breeze and unique weight of a genuine deep night. Unlike the weather and time simulations offered in the garden and vale, this night is poignantly real despite happening indoors.
THE ROOKERY SETTLES DOWN

The Rookery, the elusive wandering night market, settles down beneath the moon in the main lobby. Construction of wooden stalls takes no time at all, offering a proper shopping experience compared to their usual tents and makeshift sheets. The sellers of the Rookery are more lively than usual, their ghostly faces illuminated by the light of the moon. They aggressively boast about their wares and try to hook customers over to their booths.

► Worthwhile treasures to be found in the Rookery. Truly useful items worth haggling for.
  • WOODEN MASKS: Charmed wooden masks that allow the wearer to blend in seamlessly with the supernatural. Come in fox, wolf, and tanuki styles.
  • MAGIC TALISMANS: An assortment of talismans with elemental capabilities. A snap of fire, a dash of light, a flash of ice, and so on. Useful in a pinch.
  • WARDING INCENSE: A lovely scent of Jasmine that keeps the ghosts and annoying exes away. Calms even the ghosts in the basement and maintenance levels.
  • ZOMBIE PILLS: Another cure for the symptoms to the above Zombie bite, found under our TAILS prompt above. Will completely cure the bitten party. Unfortunately, these pills must be administered rectally.
  • GHOST BELL: Helps the living find a wayward ghost. Particularly useful for finding those that have been separated from their bodies when getting mixed in to the ghosts crossing.
  • HOLY WATER: Burns the flesh of demonic and monstrous entities. Also clears the skin of any blemishes.

  • ► Cursed treasures to be found in the Rookery. Scam artists boldly lie about how these items are blessed despite knowing full well that they're not.
  • BLACK CANDLE: Burn this candle and make a wish, it will come true. In actuality, the wish will be fulfilled but in the worst way possible, a la the classic monkey's paw. It also smells bad, like cheeto feet.
  • BLESSED TUNIC: A tunic that will ward off any attacks from the living or the dead. In actuality, this tunic does keep people away ... but only because it makes the wearer smell pungently of body odor.
  • VIAL OF POWER: A draught guaranteed to improve your strength and make you more appealing, sexually. In actuality, all this liquid does is make the drinker gassy. Best guarantee is that you'll fart every three steps.
  • LUCKY PENNY: A significant increase in luck! Technically true... but in actuality, the luck is bad luck. Small things, like stubbing your toe or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
  • A REAL SOLID GOLD RING: An exquisite piece from the ancient ages, made of pure gold that holy virgin priestesses wore when bathing in celestial light. Fake ass ring made of tinfoil. Makes your finger green.
  • 1000 YEAR OLD WINE: The most delicious wine to ever exist! Coveted by emperors and gods alike! Tastes okay, and the alcohol content is high, but changes the drinker's voice into an embarrassing high pitch that cracks often. Also, can potentially make your ass hair grow long. Like, really long.

  • Plenty of junk, knickknacks, and used clothing can also be found for reasonable prices. The sellers in the Rookery prefer to trade but will take chips since they're in such a good mood thanks to the influx of yin energy.
    BACK HALLWAYS & STAIRS
    OUT OF SERVICE
    A LONELY GHOST (EASY MODE) ► While the moon is full in the main lobby, the elevators are out of order. Staff will ask guests to kindly use the stairs and, due to the urgency of the situation, allow them to use the special back hallways usually exclusive to staff. Back hallways have the ability to traverse great distances in the stretch of an average hallway. The downside is that these back hallways and all the stairs around the main lobby are plunged into the darkness of the moon's endless night. While there are candles, their light doesn't travel very far.

    Well. That isn't the only downside.


    ► Though there are numerous wayward spirits passing through, one stubborn ghost sticks around to haunt the hallways and stairs. The lonely ghost takes on the appearance of a charming young man or woman before approaching guests to ask, "Am I pretty? Will you kiss me?" A negative response will result in continued persistence and sobbing while a positive result will result in frenzied joy.

    ► No matter the form the lonely ghost is taking, when it steps forward to try and initiate a kiss, its mouth will trisect open and unfurl several slimy tubes. Even with this hideous transformation its eyes will glitter with adoration and hope as it leans in for a passionate smooch... it can't help that it was born this way! It just wants love too!

    ► The ghost will chase would-be lovers through the hallways, a la Scooby Doo. However, escaping the lonely ghost isn't difficult, and it will change targets when it spots someone else to pursue.
    A LONELY MONSTER (INTENSE MODE)


    ...drip... drip... drip...

    ► In the deepest corridors and the darkest corners lurks another creature. It scuttles across the ceiling, dripping slime from its maw and curled tentacles, waiting for unsuspecting guests to pass by with delightful anticipation. This tentacled monster is more aggressive than the lonely ghost, looking to snatch up anyone it can find and steal them away to its sticky nest. This monster is greedy and willing to snatch up as many guests as it possibly can.

    ► This tentacle creature is extremely fast and aggressive. It will chase its prey through the hallways with incredible speed. Its flesh is difficult to pierce, though not impossible. Bloody it up enough and it'll scuttle away to tend to its wounds before heading back out again looking for prey.

    ► However, this monster isn't looking to eat its captured victims. No, no, no. Stop crying, beloved captured prey. It just so happens to be this monster's breeding season. The lonely monster will use its tentacles to pleasure its captured prey and, potentially, lay its eggs inside particularly suitable guests. Don't worry — if you like tentacles but not so much the eggs, this monster is particular about the mother(s) of its monster cubs. It won't take anyone. Only those that especially catch its eye.

    ► Not that there will be any monster cubs. Unfortunately, this tentacle monster really needs another tentacle monster to properly raise a family. Any guests imbued with eggs will be left to shit them out. Thankfully, they're on the small side.
    THE ELEVATORS
    Wait... weren't the elevators out of order?


    ► Throughout the next few weeks there will be clear signs and posts around the elevator bank that the elevators are not currently in service and that guests should use the back hallways and stairs. However, at random times, the elevators will appear to be fully functional. Their doors will slide open in front of guests, emitting an inviting glow out into the darkness. The door will remain open until someone steps inside.

    ► Any guests brave enough to ignore all of the classic horror movie signs that these elevators are possessed as hell will be locked inside once the door closes. A childish giggle rings inside before the elevator plunges into darkness and everything jerks wildly. Elevators will play the classic tower of terror prank of plunging for several floors before spitting guests out in a random location. If the ghost is feeling particularly cheeky, it may spit its prisoners out somewhere they would really hate to be.




    MONSTER MASH
    ITCH BENEATH THE SKIN
    OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE ► Guests that spend too much time amongst the wandering spirits or who end up swept along with a group of them hurrying into a wall may find themselves knocked out of their bodies and forced into ghost form. Their bodies will collapse while their spirit is swept away into the resort.

    While in spirit form, guests can do everything a ghost can! They can walk through walls, possess or haunt their friends, and even infiltrate the dreams of other guests. Whatever ghostly tropes you would like to lean into, including the Patrick Swayze love experience, are at your disposal.

    ► The longer they're away from their body, however, the harder it will be to readjust to the flesh. There's also the small issue of staff picking up any "dead" bodies and shipping them over to the morgue. If they spend too long playing outside, wayward spirit guests may have to head over to the morgue to find their body (please see TDM prompt Arrival, Tails for details on why this sucks for them).
    MOONFLUENCE ► The moon grows stronger after several days of gathering strength in the main lobby. Those that have basked in its light, even if it was only for a short while, may begin to feel that itch again... only this time it does not abate. The sensation becomes maddening, rippling beneath the flesh without restraint. Then — suddenly — it breaks free.

    Guests are transforming into monsters of all kinds under the influence of the moon. There is no limit on the type of monster that guests can transform into. Some guests may transform into vampires and weres while others may turn into dragonkin and tentacle monsters. The moon does not discriminate. Players are welcome to turn their characters into any kind of creature or monster they would like.

    ► Transformations do not need to be complete. Guests may have half or partial transformations. Transformations also vary in duration; a guest could potentially turn into several monsters over the course of the moon's rise in the main lobby. A guest could be a werewolf for an hour and shift into a vampire the next. Of course, a guest could also remain a werewolf for the entire duration of the moon's influence. This moon really loves some chaos.

    Any guests undergoing monster transformation may also utilize any of the DIAMONDS effects. In typical Golden Peacock fashion, transformations can also automatically come with intense arousal to get these guests into the freaky monster fuckin' spirit.
    THE VALE
    OVERGROWN WILDS
    INFLUX ► In an effort to keep the monster situation under control, and to avoid mass destruction of the Golden Peacock, staff are attempting to corral any transformed guests into the vale. Of course, there's no way for them to get nearly half of the transformed guests in there, but some of the monsters seem to enjoy the more natural ambiance the vale provides.

    As more and more guests transform into monsters, the staff have little choice but to place advertisements for monster hunters. The job is easy enough: anyone who has not been transformed qualifies and the job description is to drag monsters into the vale for containment. Monster hunters will earn a medium payout for every transformed guest they toss into the vale. Monster hunters that fuck the monster before tossing them into the vale will receive an additional large payment.

    ► Transformed guests that turn back to their normal form will be allowed to leave the vale. Not that the staff can actually do much to stop them from leaving when they're monsterized, to begin with...
    TERRAIN ► The vale has been shifted into night mode for the next few weeks to accommodate the newly turned monster guests. A full moon hangs overhead, though unlike the monster moon in the main lobby, this moon is digitized on the overhead panels for the sake of ambiance.

    ► A thick fog perpetually runs through the forest and weather simulations such as rain and snow rotate on a timer to provide a realistic experience. Every type of weather common during autumn/winter rotates through the vale.

    ► Caverns, caves, alcoves, and other earthy terrain stretches across the base of the vale. Tall trees with giant gnarled roots provide shelter. Bioluminescent mushrooms light the way in the darkness of simulated night. A long river runs through the vale. There are also several small ponds where these rivers lead to, as well as a couple of small waterfalls.
    PACK MENTALITYMonsters of the same type may experience a resonance, or pack mentality, triggering any of the HEARTS effects between them. For example, canine-based monsters may feel unexpected fondness toward each other and be inclined to create a pack or share a den. Feline-based monsters may feel affectionate and groom one another. Aquatic-based creatures may feel that lightning shock of love at first sight. You get the idea!

    ► Resonance that triggers a Hearts effect can occur between monsters of different types but it's less common. Like calls to like, and monsters of the same or similar types will be naturally drawn toward one another.
    SMOKED EGG
    DEN OF THE BLOODTHIRSTY
    THE COVEN ► Some of the civilized monsters refuse to be caught in the vale. Particularly, a coven a vampires has flooded into the Smoked Egg and transformed it into a den of debauchery. Gone are the gauzy curtains and pillows, replaced with stark red and black upholstery that lends itself to the vampiric aesthetic. The smoke, however, remains a haze over the lounge. This smoke is imbued with a relaxant to help loosen up any "prey" that wanders into their den.

    ► As far as prey goes — any creature that isn't a vampire applies. Prey will be doted upon and coaxed with the hopes of being fed upon. All those who come to the Smoked Egg will be encouraged to dip into hedonism with the coven and join in the sensual vampire orgy. Clothing in the lounge is optional, with many couples making love right in the open where other guests can watch.

    ► Guests that have turned into vampires, or were vampires to begin with, will be warmly welcomed by the coven. All vampires are capable of turning other guests into vampires through siring — this ritual involves exchanging blood between the master and sire, and will create an empathic bond between them. Vampires of the coven are happy to teach newly turned vampires how to do this trick if they don't already know. While guests can still shift from a vampire into another monster under the moon's influence, or return to a normal human, this empathic bond with their "creator" could potentially remain indefinitely.
    VAMPIRIC LUXURIES ► The bar is stocked with numerous blood-based cocktails. Some blood has been collected in bottles, while other drinks are made from the blood of live and willing donors. The cocktails run the gambit of accompanying effects — players may select any SPADES effects for drinks at the vampiric bar.

    ► Though the core coven that have taken up residence in the Smoked Egg seem to be exhibitionists, there are numerous back rooms for those that prefer some privacy. Rather than traditional beds, however, guests will find luxurious coffins. There's nothing quite like fucking in a coffin, is there? Especially an upright one!

    ► We can't forget the vampire's pride and joy: the blood pool. This pool is filled with 100% bona fide blood, perfect for a round of fucking or just some relaxation. This pool is kept at a warm temperature because cold blood just isn't as good. Non-vampire guests will be encouraged to add some blood to the pool. It's the least you can do after being waited on hand and foot, after all.


    BALANCE RETURNS
    TIME TO TAKE THAT PTO
    THE HOUSE TAKES A VACATION ► Between getting pummeled by guest shenanigans earlier in the month and then managing an invasive monster moon, the house is exhausted. Even near-omnipotent manifestations have a bottom line. Since the house isn't really going anywhere it's more accurate to call this a staycation, but either way, it's not taking any calls for a while.

    ► A general notice will flash on the electronic bulletin boards that due to overwork, the usual staff have also been granted paid time off by the house. Given how haggard the receptionists, bellhops, and cleaners all look after cleaning the Peacock from head to toe after overwhelming monster mischief, it's a much needed break. The Golden Peacock, after great efforts, is restored to semi-normal from most monster-caused damage. Some reminders remain, like those scuff marks that won't come out no matter how hard the cleaners scrub.

    ► During this time, the house will not be causing any mischief and harassing guests. It's a time of decompression for everyone. Right about now it's sitting back with a glass of whiskey and wondering why these recent guests have been such a handful compared to years past. It's almost like they don't want to lose themselves in hedonism and debauchery!
    THE B-TEAM ► Of course, the house won't leave the Golden Peacock totally unmanned. The guests still need tending to! During this rest period, temps and back of house staff that don't typically work front of house are filling customer service roles. You know what that means: minor inconveniences abound.

    ► The B-team is nowhere near as good as the usual staff. Simple mistakes are more common during this time. Deliveries are sent to the wrong suites, the wrong dining service arrives, the towels aren't washed, and the front desk knows literally nothing outside of the basic function of checking guests in. It's not even worth asking when the house will be back, let alone asking for some other manager. But after the chaos of the past month, maybe these small annoyances aren't all that bad?

    ► The house will be back! ... Later. For now, the Golden Peacock is quiet, even the most party-hard guests fatigued from the past year of fun. What's to come? You'll just have to wait and see.

    frozen ground

    [personal profile] eaudevamp 2024-10-19 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
    [ When Reign had gotten a message from Tseng, he'd instantly made his way towards their rendezvous location. Either the man wants to have a chat with him, or — considering the proximity of Naked Yolk — has something else in mind other than mere conversations. The new decors of The Smoked Egg isn't surprising, nor is the scene of debauchery within. But what catches him off guard is the heavy scent of blood in the air, and the number of vampire conglomerated into one place. Never has Reign seen so many vampires, especially when he'd only come across a handful of them in his many months at the resort.

    Regardless, he's here to meet up with Tseng. Despite the thick haze of smoke, Reign easily spots the man himself, standing tall and unassuming, yet easily drawing the attention of one particular vampire. Sidling up to Tseng's side, Reign tilts his head and gives Tseng a cheeky smile. ]
    What made you decide to meet here?

    [ A metallic scent catches his attention, and his gaze drops to the cocktail in Tseng's hand, brows furrowing. ] I don't think you should be drinking that. [ Did Tseng not know there's an additional sanguine "liquid" in his drink? ]
    nonvoting: (just how much i miss you sometimes)

    [personal profile] nonvoting 2024-10-20 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
    [ tseng senses reign the instant he comes through the doorway of the smoked egg, of course; there's a strange... not pack sense, but something like it, an awareness of other vampires that pervades the space now. it's a little uncomfortable, given how many of those vampires are engaged in carnal relations with others, but over the last few hours tseng has managed to more or less put it from his mind.

    now, when reign approaches, tseng nods and then lifts his cocktail glass in acknowledgement. ]


    Hello, Reign. [ indeed, the cocktail is made of blood, and it's sweet of reign to worry about tseng consuming it. he does, however, lift the cup to take a sip, and then when he's swallowed he bares his teeth to let reign see the long, sharp incisors that now protrude from his teeth. ]

    It seems the house has given me a gift I think you know best how to use, [ he says. ] As it turns out, I've become a vampire.
    eaudevamp: (sᴛᴀʀᴛʟᴇᴅ sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇ)

    [personal profile] eaudevamp 2024-10-23 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
    [ If it hadn't been for the scent of blood and the sight of fangs bared when Reign spots them, he wouldn't have been able to tell that most of the people at the lounge are vampires. The way he could sense his own kin are always through pheromone, and the ones here lack it. At least all variances share a similar penchant for blood and general carnal activities.

    Which is why he's utterly surprised to see Tseng taking a sip of his cocktail, eyes widening as the man reveals to him the reason behind it. ]
    Oh, wow...! You really are!

    [ Of all the strange creatures to turn into, Reign has to admit that Tseng makes quite the sexy dashing vampire. It brings to mind the idle chats he had with Tseng many weeks ago, discussing roleplay ideas with the man. One of it involving two vampires embroiled in a taboo D/s relationship. ] It suits you amazingly well, Tseng! Were you turned by the moon's influence?
    nonvoting: (it's a reckless abandon)

    [personal profile] nonvoting 2024-10-30 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ it's not that tseng has been upset about being turned into a vampire, nor has he been panicking—but the fact that reign seems to find it more interesting and fascinating than alarming eases some tense part inside him. tseng smiles, a little, although he's finding that the shape of it is different when he has fangs to contend with. ]

    No. I was changed by another resident, who was changed by the moon. [ and what a complicated thing that is. rufus the sire, and tseng the fledgeling. at least for now they're avoiding each other, so tseng doesn't have to split his attention away from reign.

    he, too, remembers the things reign had told him about things he'd like to try, including roleplay, including vampirism. and while that wasn't entirely why tseng texted reign, he can't deny that it's on his mind, especially with all the debauchery going on around them. ]


    I think I've more or less gotten my feet under me now, though, [ tseng adds. ] Still, I'm happy to hear any... ideas you may have.

    [ When there are so few vampires as it is already in this resort for Reign to meet, seeing so many here scratches an itch in him. As if filling that lonely part within. Already he fears the sweet song bird that is Robin no longer remains here, and Reign wonders if he'll ever see the young vampire again. ]

    That must have been quite a startling change for you, and for the person who turned you. [ Reign can't imagine what it's like to be a different creature, attaining new traits, getting used to the unfamiliar body and all. It has Reign wondering what abilities Tseng may have gained that may be different from his own. ]

    Oh? [ A mildly confused tilt of his head, though he's relieved to hear that Tseng is getting the hang of being a vampire. Then it clicks in him. ] O-oh! Ideas, eh? Ahem... I do have some.

    [ Reign clears his throat as he glances at Tseng from the corner of his eyes, hands behind his back as he leans against the wall. ] Remember the scenario I told you recently? About two vampires in a— [ Twisted. ] —forbidden relationship, where one is being trained to rid themselves of such submissive desires.

    [ it was a startling change indeed, and tseng nods slightly in acknowledgement, but for the time being he feels it's better that he not think too deeply about why it feels so complicated to him—it's a train of thought better indulged in private, most likely. better to focus on other things, like his newfound strength, his hunger, the way he can somehow better appreciate reign's sensitivity to temperature now that his own skin runs cool.

    tseng smiles slightly as reign seems to put two and two together, following the suggestion to its conclusion, and as reign leans his back against the wall, tseng shifts to lean his shoulder as well, a position that lets him watch reign (and a position that is frankly possessive, should any other vampires start getting ideas). ]


    I remember you mentioning it, yes, although I'd still like to understand in a bit more detail.

    [ partly so he has a clear idea of what it is reign would like, and partly because he thinks it's a little sexy to watch reign get flushed about admitting his wants. ]

    [ Reign is undeniably curious as to the kind of changes Tseng went through. Can Tseng still eat/drink normally? Is his heart beating? Or has it stop and turn the man into one of those undeads Reign had once read about? What vampiric abilities has Tseng gained?

    Those questions, Reign push them aside, deciding to shelf it for the time being and ask later. Or perhaps discover for himself. Right now, he nods at Tseng's request, organising his thoughts on how best to explain to the other. ]


    Here is what I've in mind for the scene. Vampires by nature are a domineering species, but there's one who isn't like them. Thus far, he has managed to keep that part of himself a secret, pretending otherwise, for it's a punishable sin. Except he got caught by another who had been keeping a close eye on him. Perhaps in a compromising situation, or in the act.

    [ So focused is Reign, that he barely notice the interested looks he has been garnering since his arrival, though the other vampires wisely stay where they are, their wary gaze on Tseng. ]

    I haven't decided on their roles yet. Two noblemen? A patrolman and a civilian? Co-workers, one of them a subordinate...? [ Reign drops his gaze briefly, fingers fidgeting behind his back, before he returns his attention to Tseng, a look of cautious anticipation on his face. ] What do you think?

    [ If anything, Reign wants Tseng to be involved in some of the decision making. ]

    [ it's exactly the kind of fantasy that tseng would expect from someone like reign—someone who enjoys being dominated, who has expressed an interest in cnc, who likes a little bit of humiliation and a lot of discipline. and it skirts close enough to tseng's professional expertise that the fantasy would be easy to fulfill, although it's for that exact reason that tseng thinks he will need to ensure they're both clear on boundaries.

    a glance around shows that there are more than a few gazes lingering on reign. perhaps it's only the force of tseng's presence that's keeping their hunger at bay. as if to drive home his claim, tseng reaches out to gently curl his fingers around reign's throat, then slips his hand upward to cup his jaw instead, an unmistakably possessive gesture. ]


    I find the idea appealing. [ tseng's gaze holds reign's for a moment, thoughtful. ] I think... coworkers. One of them a security guard, maybe, and the other a salaryman who occasionally engages in certain behaviors after hours when he thinks all his colleagues have gone home?

    [ it would allow tseng to exercise some of his skills—restraints, for one. but he's nonetheless careful to frame it as a question, because reign's input for this scenario is just as important as tseng's, and he wants to be sure they're on the same page. ]

    I think we should move elsewhere, [ tseng adds after a moment, his voice low. ] Somewhere more private.

    [ One of these days, Tseng will have to explain CNC to Reign. It's a kink and term unfamiliar to him, despite having an interest in it. There are so many things unknown to the vampire, even if he wants to try them all. That Tseng has some experience, or at least the knowledge, is a boon for Reign to learn from.

    Now is one of those times, and as Reign feels Tseng's fingers around his throat, then at his jaw, the vampire tenses. But in a good way, with him straightening his spine a bit more, lips parting slightly, pupils dilating a smidge. It's frightening, how easily Tseng could have him in a chokehold with that simple gesture. ]


    A security guard and a salaryman? [ Reign gives that a thought. It's not too dissimilar to his line of work. He's a businessman himself back home, being a perfumer and all, selling his wares to those bourgeois vampires, or anyone showing interest. After hours behaviour, eh? ] Yes, I can work with that. [ Already there are a few ideas popping into his mind.

    And at Tseng's suggestion, Reign lifts a hand to cover the man's before slowly shifting it down to his throat once more, as if the fingers become the collar, and the arm a leash. When he speaks, his voice is just as low, a touch breathy. ]
    Lead the way, Sir.

    [ that day might even be today, depending on how the rest of their conversation goes. for now, though, tseng's primary concern is getting reign out of sight of all the other hungry vampires in the smoked egg, especially when he responds to tseng's touch at his throat the way he does—his pupils dilating, his lips parting. submission truly does look gorgeous on him.

    it's therefore no surprise that reign gently guides tseng's hand back down, to wrap his fingers once again around reign's neck. the touch is still careful, but tseng does very slightly tighten his grip, not even enough to make reign dizzy but certainly enough for him to feel the intent in the gesture. ]


    Very good. [ tseng's eyes darken a little, a flicker of desire lighting them up. ] This way, then.

    [ he shifts his grip so that he's holding the back of reign's neck instead, then guides him away from the crush of people occupying the main lounge area and back toward the hallways branching off into private rooms. some of them are already occupied, but tseng easily manages to find one that isn't, and he guides reign inside before closing and locking the door. immediately the sounds of music and conversation and debauchery outside are dulled somewhat, making the space feel that much more private. ]

    Sit down, Reign. [ there are two chairs tucked into a nook in the corner of the room, along with both a large bed and an almost comically padded coffin. whoever decorated this place really had the vampire thing on lock. ] I want to hear everything you want, every idea you have.

    [ There's a subtle intake of breath as those fingers tighten around Reign's neck, and the vampire's pulse skittering for a brief second. He has not experienced what it's like to be choked, though it had come close to it when he encouraged Esikko to freely use his mouth. No doubt it's not the same, and Tseng had told him that he'll only indulge in such kinks with experienced subs. Reign is aware he's not one of them. But the interest is clear in his eyes as he looks into Tseng's darkening ones. Perhaps in time, he'll get his chance.

    With a nod, Reign lets Tseng guide them both away from the crowd and towards whichever room that Tseng decides on. The hand at his neck is less warm than when Tseng was a human, yet the grip is firm, the weight almost a comfort to Reign. It strangely settles any nerves that threaten to rise, quells the little anxiety that sometimes poke through, and Reign finds himself gradually filtering out the noises surrounding them. Instead, his attention is on Tseng's hand and presence, remaining in that state of mind until a room is found.

    Once the door closed (and locked) behind them, the outside sounds now muted, focus returns to Reign in a snap. ]
    Yes, Sir! [ Did he sound too eager? Either way, Reign goes to grab the two chairs and place them where Tseng is, then sits as commanded and waits for the other to join him.

    If Tseng remains standing, Reign will get the hint. Otherwise, he takes a deep breath, reorganise his thoughts again and begins to share them with Tseng. ]
    What I want out of this is to experience what it's like to be caught having desires that are considered... wrong. I'm found out and punished, made to admit my crimes, to be then disciplined and trained out of my submissiveness.

    [ Reign goes quiet for a moment, taking a break before continuing. ] How the ending turns out, I'll leave it to you, Sir. As long as it ends with us satisfied. I do have a question, though... [ Uncertainties make itself known in the hesitance of his tone, but he forges ahead. ] Seeing as this is a roleplay, using a safeword doesn't feel immersive to me. Is there another way to incorporate its usage? Or should I still use it?

    [ There remains the discussion of limits between the both of them, but he'll come back to that in a bit. ]

    [ the closed door and the muffled conversation outside eases something inside tseng, too, some possessiveness he hadn't even been fully aware of feeling until the moment it subsides. although he certainly wasn't the vampire that turned reign, and therefore he has no direct claim to him, there's something about the trust reign places in him that makes tseng feel fiercely protective of the other man; the possessiveness, then, must have come from the threat posed to reign by the other hungry vampires in the smoked egg.

    all better now, though. tseng waits until reign has retrieved the chairs, then joins him, sitting across from each other with only a small distance between them. he listens carefully as reign explains, filing the information away, arranging it loosely into potential scenarios in his mind. ]


    Should I punish you by forcing you to submit to me, or by forcing you to behave dominantly? [ by nature reign seems the submissive type, and of course he knows that tseng is much more dominant, but if reign were interested in trying something more dominant himself, tseng wouldn't mind finding a way to incorporate that. ] You can ask any questions you have freely, Reign. I appreciate your honesty.

    [ and the question he's asked does make sense in a way, even though it briefly gives tseng pause as he considers. ]

    The idea of a safeword is that it is a word you would never use during a sexual encounter, so if I hear it I know to stop immediately, [ tseng says slowly. ] And a scenario like this will likely involve you resisting, telling me no, telling me to stop. We don't have to use a safeword per se, but I would like at least a gesture that I can use to know when you're saying "stop" and want me to continue, versus when you're saying "stop" because you need me to stop. For example, if you tap your ear twice, or pinch my shoulder—something like that. Is that a good compromise?

    [ When it comes to his partners, Tseng has known by now that Reign enjoys it when they're domineering. But he also likes it when they get possessive, as if they can't get enough of him, as he does with them. It makes him feel wanted, coveted. To the point that he's almost smothered by it.

    It all feeds into his submissive desires.

    So when Tseng presents to him the two options, Reign knows which he wants. But he listens to the rest of what the other has to advice regarding the safeword, knowing that he can put his trust in his Sir. As Tseng has said, it's certainly safer that he has some form of safety mechanism for when he really wants to stop, or at least a break from the intensity, even if it's not verbal. ]
    It is, yes. Then I will snap my fingers twice if I want you to stop. As for what you asked me earlier...

    [ Again, Reign takes a breath, trying to quell the nervousness that threatens to bubble up, reminding himself once more that Tseng is here to make sure everything is safe. ] The former, please. The idea is that the salaryman resists the punishments in every way, though ultimately made to submit and admit to those desires. This relationship of theirs could morph into something darker, or even ambiguously romantic, which I'm more inclined towards. That's the gist of the scenario I have in mind.

    [ tseng nods, relieved that reign had agreed to his compromise. the idea of going wholly without any kind of signal makes him nervous, mostly because it's important to him that reign always enjoy himself even when he's pretending not to—the idea of causing him real harm is unconscionable. ]

    All right. Snap once if you want me to slow down a little, and twice if you want me to stop completely. I'll make note.

    [ that way they can both lose themselves entirely in the scene, knowing that they have a way to communicate if things get too intense.

    it's not surprising to tseng that what reign wants is to be completely dominated, to be punished and tormented. there have certainly been indicators of this kind of desire, things tseng has noticed about reign's preferences and behaviors. he nods, noting the inhalation, and reaches out to rest a hand on reign's knee, rubbing his thumb idly back and forth to reassure him. ]


    This is called CNC, [ tseng says. ] It means "consensually non-consensual." Essentially, a roleplay scenario that we agree on, but the scenario is one of a non-consensual encounter—me forcing myself on you or forcing you to submit to me.

    [ tseng's hand leaves reign's knee then, and he turns both of his hands palm-up, holding them out to take both of reign's hands in his. ]

    I will be degrading towards you, maybe even a little humiliating. I may call you names or make you kneel or put you in compromising positions so I can see you blush. If there are any names you don't want me to call you, or anything you don't want me to do to you, please tell me honestly—I want you to enjoy this.

    Once for slow down; twice for complete stop. [ Reign nods as he repeats, once again relieved that Tseng is here to ensure their scene can run smoothly, as well as making certain that everything is safe. For the both of them. He may be fairly new to this, and though Tseng has more experience and familiarity, this will at least ensure that things wouldn't get out of hand. Reign doesn't want this first time of theirs to go wrong.

    Even so, he can't help the slight jolt when he feels Tseng's hand on his knee, though the idle thumb rubbing through his trousers instantly soothes him right back down. Reign isn't sure why or how, but it's as if Tseng knows just when he needs some reassuring. Whether it be through words or a touch, Reign always finds himself relieved right after. ]


    I didn't know there's such a term for this kind of roleplay scenario. [ Looks like there's more for Reign to read and research, to educate himself, at least. ] It's... admittedly one of my fantasies. [ He continues in a quieter voice, his cheeks heating up a bit as he slowly places both of his hands in Tseng's, blue eyes glancing away briefly before returning to the man as his Sir further explains.

    Now onto the meat of it. Sitting a tad straighter, Reign slightly squeezes Tseng's hands before he nods. ]
    Dirty talking and being mean is fine. You can call me "abnormal", in addition to the other names you've given me before. It's used to describe vampires who are submissive. A bit of bloodplay is all right as well, as is biting and scratching, but nothing that leaves a permanent scar or heavy injury. [ There's a pause, a furrow of brows, before he continues. ] I know you said you wouldn't do such kinks unless with someone experienced, but I'm curious about choking. Or at least, the idea of it.

    [ There are more details to discuss between them, of course. Reign also makes sure to elaborate on the world of their roleplay to help them both get in character. As much as this is a fantasy of his, Reign wants not just himself to enjoy it, but Tseng too. ]

    [ everything reign says, tseng notes carefully. he hadn't been intending to injure reign or leave permanent marks regardless, but it's still important to have the boundary stated out loud; this is a delicate kind of scene, after all, and tseng wants to be sure reign knows his limits will be respected.

    abnormal is a good word to have, too—tseng wouldn't have arrived at that one on his own, but he files it away in the back of his mind. the concept of a world where vampires are so naturally dominant that having a submissive nature is considered freakish is... odd, to him, but he can understand how reign would take that experience and sublimate it into a kink like this. ]


    Mm. [ tseng considers that for a moment. ] I'll do it just once, and only enough to make breathing a little more difficult, not enough to restrict it entirely or affect your consciousness. If you enjoy it, we can explore that more later.

    [ experimenting with breathplay seriously should happen as its own session, not as part of a cnc scene, but it isn't entirely off the table for tseng. he and reign have done this at least enough times by now that tseng feels he can trust reign to be honest about what he's feeling.

    tseng squeezes reign's hands lightly and brushes his thumbs over the backs of his knuckles. carefully and precisely, he explains how he'll start the scene: that he'll leave, and wait for three minutes for reign to undress and get in bed, and that when tseng comes back into the room it will signal the beginning of their scene. while he intends for much of their play to be left up to the natural flow of the evening, tseng also explains that when they're done, he'll say, "i think that's quite enough," and that will be reign's signal that the scene has ended.

    when the explanation ends, tseng asks, ]
    Anything else before we start?

    [ If there's one thing Reign has learned when it comes to kinks and scenes, it's to be upfront about his limits and boundaries, to state what he has in mind, scenarios he wants to experience, and the such. He knows how imperative it is for his and Tseng's safety, both physically and mentally.

    It's why Reign had brought up breathplay. He wouldn't be disappointed if Tseng were to decide that it isn't suitable for today's session, but it pleases him nonetheless that his request is considered, allowed a taste of it as well. There's a brightness in his blue eyes, the barely held back elation in his expression, as he nods in agreement. ]
    I understand. Thank you, Sir. Truly.

    [ Who would have thought that a chance encounter with Tseng all those months ago would lead to this, to him finding a dom that would meet his needs. So as Reign listens carefully to Tseng's instructions, he nods here and there, taking note of the cues that Tseng has set up for them, and so forth.

    At the end of it all, Reign shakes his head in response to the question, more at ease and confident now that there is a plan in mind, and steps taken to ensure they'll enjoy this roleplay. ]
    None at all, Sir. I'm ready. The safeword used is a finger snap for slow down, and twice for stop. The scene starts when you leave the room, and ends when you say "I think that's quite enough."

    [ as reign repeats their guidelines back to him, tseng allows himself a small, warm smile. what a pleasure to have a sub who's so eager and obedient, yet not subservient—an active participant in their play just as much as tseng is, willing to contribute his own desires and ideas. ]

    Exactly. Very good, Reign. [ tseng squeezes reign's hands lightly, then leans across to kiss him at the corner of the mouth, soft and affectionate. ] I'll go out now. Three minutes begins when the door closes.

    [ and assuming no more questions or comments from reign, tseng will do exactly that. he lets himself out into the hallway and closes the door behind him, then leans against the wall directly to the right of the door so he can prepare himself the same way reign is surely doing inside.

    he's only ever been a witness to a scene like this, never a direct participant. tseng uses the three minutes he's allowed to breathe deeply and clear his head, slipping a little further into the businesslike headspace he uses for his missions as a turk. never before has tseng seen the difference between tseng, director of the turks and just tseng, of the resort laid so starkly bare as he does when the three minutes have passed and tseng turns to ease the door open soundlessly, slipping inside as silently as a shadow.

    the lights are off, but in the scant light from the hallway tseng can make out the shape of reign in bed. not asleep, obviously, but faking it well. the door closes behind him, hinges well-oiled and latch silent as it closes again; the only sound at all comes from the ominous clack of the deadbolt being engaged.

    from there, tseng makes his way across the room, his footfalls equally silent on both hardwood and carpet. this is not his first time breaking in to someone's living quarters, after all; he knows how to feel a soft place in the floor and avoid it, how to stay close to walls but far from furniture to avoid being heard before he wants to be.

    onto the bed next, careful and measuring his body weight carefully so that the mattress barely shifts. although the sleep is false, reign looks peaceful, eyes closed and lying on his side. for a moment, tseng just looks—and then he reaches out to cover reign's mouth with one palm, pressing his head back into the pillow as tseng shifts in an instant to straddle his body. ]


    Don't scream, [ he says, eyes glittering with malice and his lips curved in a mean little smirk. ] You'll only make this harder than it needs to be, and we don't want that, do we? Blink once if you promise not to scream.

    [ Nothing else is further brought up, and Reign waits for Tseng to leave. Once the door closes, the three minute countdown begins, and Reign knows he has to use those three minutes wisely to get into a mindspace. He has never done this before, and reading from those handy guidebooks is vastly different from a practical and hands-on means. But it does help that he already has a plan in mind when he and Tseng discussed their roleplay, though he realises belatedly that he'd forgotten to mention his pheromone. He'll have to remember to bring it up with Tseng later when they're done.

    Either way, first things first, he goes to a shelf and gathers a few items, placing them carefully into an unassuming looking black box he found. He then ties the ribbon to secure it, before pushing said box under the bed. Once done, he quickly removes most of his clothes, save for the shirt and trousers, folds them, and neatly place it all on a side table.

    How long does he still have? A minute? Good enough.

    Moving to sit on the edge of the bed, Reign closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths to calm his nerves. He's tired. He needs to rest. Today has been another long day. Loosening the hair ribbon from his hair, Reign drops it on top of the stack of clothes before sliding into bed. Best to get a good rest so he could wake fresh for the next day. He turns on his side and his eyelids flutter close. The bed is soft, the pillow and comforter softer still. And warm.

    So warm and comfortable that Reign thinks he could easily doze off. And he nearly does, his pulse now calmed down, when he hears the "clack" sound. Just barely. Of what, he doesn't know. But he continues on to pretend, keeping his eyes closed and breathing even. Is there someone in his room? Maybe it's all in his head. A mere dream?

    What then, of the hand covering his mouth? The heavy weight straddling his body? Reign's eyes snap open, panic filling his entire being as he glances up to stare at the face of the intruder. He could barely react, trembling at the threat hanging in the air before him, his heart beating heavily in fear. Why? How? A multitude of questions run through Reign's mind, but first, he needs to respond.

    He blinks once. ]

    [ although he recognizes reign's blink, tseng doesn't immediately release his grasp on the other man's mouth. he can feel the warm, quick pace of of reign's breath against his hand, can feel the tension that wends its way through his body in response to tseng's sudden presence in his bed—things that speak to his fear, and therefore his pliability. after all, people who are afraid will do all sorts of things to feel safe again, won't they? ]

    Good. [ it's a different tone than the way tseng usually says good boy. this time it's cold, derisive. he removes his hand from reign's mouth and admires the slight pink marks on pale skin left behind by tseng's fingers. ] I'm sure you thought you were being so sneaky, didn't you?

    [ the secret of his abnormal desires, of course, a desire for submission that hardly befits a vampire like reign. tseng stays where he is, pinning reign under his body weight, but he lets his fingertips trail along reign's jaw and down his neck, a touch that would normally be affectionate taking on a darker edge when paired with the way tseng looks at reign. ]

    Abnormal little freak, [ he murmurs, crooning the words. ] Did you think nobody would ever find out your secret?

    [ This room of his, small and modest it may be, is still "home" tom Reign. A place where he could feel safe and be himself. And yet here is Tseng, having him pinned in his own bed, with a threatening voice that sends a chill down his spine. Reign can't help the trembling that course through his body. He has never heard Tseng speak in such a cruel and detached manner before, and the strength in which those fingers dig into his cheek has him wincing, even after it's removed.

    The feathery touch trailing down his neck has Reign tensing, his nervous gaze darting from Tseng to the man's hand and back up. ]
    I've no idea what y—

    [ Upon hearing the derogatory insult, Reign flinches before he could stop his reaction, pupils dilating and his heart pounding loudly in his chest. There's no way. He has made sure to be careful, watch how he acts in public. Eyes narrow as he glares up defiantly at Tseng. ] I'm not an "abnormal". That's quite the accusation coming from a mere security guard of the company.

    [ Back home, it had been so long since he allowed the word itself to affect him so. But like this, with Tseng bearing down on him, with a sharp gaze that could peel away the layers and see through him, has Reign's anxiety skyrocketing. He'll have to play it cool and throw Tseng off his trail. ] Get off me. I'll pretend this never happen. Otherwise, I'll be reporting you to the head of security for intrusion on private property.

    [ despite the firmness of reign's tone and the defiance in his expression, even reign can't hide the tell-tale signs of fear: the dilation of his pupils, the quickening of his pulse. tseng has him dead to rights, he knows, even if reign won't be willing to admit to it so easily. well, that's all right. part of the enjoyment is the thrill of the hunt, after all. ]

    Oh, no, Mr. Fear, [ tseng says, widening his eyes a bit as though to pretend he's worried, although after a moment the smile at the corners of his lips makes itself known. ] Please don't report this, I wouldn't want that at all...

    [ he shifts, a little. his toe makes contact with the box tucked under reign's bed, right where he knew it would be. tseng withdraws, slips off the mattress, and then kneels so he can pull it free of its hiding place and rattle it a little. resting his elbow on the bed and his chin in his hand, tseng looks up at reign and says, ]

    Otherwise I'd have to report your little collection, and then we'd really be in trouble, wouldn't we?

    [ the fake-worried expression melts off of tseng's face, replaced by a smirk of self-satisfaction as he rejoins reign on the mattress. placing the box on the bed between them, tseng then flicks the lid open to lay its contents bare: a cockring, a vibrator, a nice thick dildo. not the kind of thing that would be hidden under the bed of a proper, normal vampire. ]

    What do you think? [ he asks. ] Still want to make the call?

    [ It's almost funny how his family name of "Fear" is exactly what Reign is feeling right now, instead of imposing that very emotion on other beings. But in that fear is anger. Anger at Tseng for belittling him, for being so demeaning and crass with his words. Taunting a vampire whose social standing is higher than one such as Tseng. Not that it matters when he has been disowned by his father.

    He watches Tseng carefully as the man moves off him, and then off the bed, wondering what the other is up to.

    Oh.

    Oh no...

    Reign turns his head just so as he stares into Tseng's face, watching with an impending doom as the man's vernier of concern slips away into a self-satisfied smirk. ]
    That...!

    [ He immediately bolts up, but finds himself unable to move away as Tseng places that black box between them and reveal the contents within. Try as he may, Reign couldn't very well hide the subtle tremble as his mind races to come up with a reason. An excuse. Anything. To explain why he has these things with him. ]

    S-so what? [ Damn his wavering voice. ] It's not for me, but the human partners I occasionally play with. [ Who is he kidding? As if he has any.

    But this time, Reign makes certain to keep his tone steady. ]
    There's nothing odd about me having toys and keeping them where they are. [ Even so, his fingers clench by his side, his gaze not quite staring at Tseng less he's seen through. ]

    [ it's a flimsy excuse and they both know it, which is why tseng shows no signs of wavering in his determination. he picks the cock ring up and twirls it around his finger playfully as he says, ] Do you think they'll buy that? How many human partners have you brought home in the last week? Month? —Year?

    [ the cock ring drops back into the box. tseng moves up from kneeling on the floor next to the bed to sit on the side of the mattress instead, the box now safely settled between him and reign as he leans over, bracing his hands on either side of reign's legs to crowd him back against the headboard. ]

    Let's do a little experiment, if you're so confident your story will hold up, [ tseng says, lifting both hands to casually undo the knot of his tie. he slips it from his collar, silk whispering against fabric, and wraps it lightly around his hand. ] It goes like this.

    [ and then without warning, he yanks reign several inches down the bed and gathers both of his wrists in one hand, then pulls them up so he can use his tie to tie them both firmly to the bed above him. it's a sturdy knot—an easy one to undo, too, in case he needs to make a break for it.

    once it's done, and reign is restrained and helpless, tseng leans over him again and continues, ]
    Now I fuck you with these toys, and if you don't get hard, I'll turn myself in. But if your pretty little cock betrays you...

    [ he slides one hand up reign's thigh under the blanket to cup him through the thin fabric of his pajamas. ]

    Then I get to have all the fun I want.

    [ The number? A lovely egg-shape. What if Tseng puts one inside him? Not that it matters whether it's zero, ten, or more, as Reign tries not to stare too keenly at the cock ring being toyed with. Thank goodness it's soon out of sight, because there's something — someone — more important taking up his vision.

    Namely Tseng, leaning over him, and forcing the vampire to put some distance between them out of reflex. ]
    Why do you care? I've no obligation to answer to you anyway. [ Because that must is true. It's not as if Tseng is one of those officials who keep tabs on "abnormal" vampires. He tenses as his back hit the headboard, his heart pounding loudly in his ears as his gaze drops down to the silk tie wrapped around Tseng's hand.

    Reign just about open his mouth to ask what kind of experiment Tseng has in mind, when he finds himself bodily manhandled. His fight or flight reflex instantly kicks in, more flight than fight, though by the time he manages to register what is really happening, he's already firmly tied up. It's not overly tight, with a little give that ensures that blood still flows properly through his arms. But Reign is certain there will be marks on his wrists by the time Tseng is done with him.

    What is it that Tseng plans to do, Reign wonders as he stares up at the man with a wide-eyed look. And he soon got his answer, and try as he might, Reign couldn't stop the light flush of colour tinting his cheeks, nor could he stop the gasp that slips out at the touch of Tseng's warm hand through the thin material of his pants. ]


    That's not f-fair! [ Comes the protest as he tries to squirm away from Tseng's oh so very tempting touch. ] Anyone would get hard if you do that!

    [ All he needs to do is not get hard, right? But how is he going to keep his wits to himself when his cock had already twitched in interest from the moment he was tied up?! He squeezes his eyes shut briefly, then throws a glare up at Tseng. ] Fine! Do your worst. I'll prove you wrong.
