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.

    [personal profile] unionized 2024-11-25 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
    [The first time Tseng had fucked him, there had been a definite level of care to his movements — oh, the passion had been the same, the desire equally fervent, but he'd been attentive, watchful, utterly focused on ensuring that every bit of it was good for him. This is still just as good for him, but in a thoroughly different way — because Tseng's not being careful, because he knows that Rufus can take what he gives. Because he knows Rufus would sooner have the whole room come down around them than have him slow down or relent, and he could stop them at any moment but fuck, why would he ever want to.

    Tseng drives home inside him and it knocks the air out of his lungs, and he doesn't even wait for it to come back before dragging him into the rhythm of it, pulling on his hips as if the extra force would help him get even a fraction deeper than he is already. It's so rough and so good that he finds himself clawing at the bed so that he doesn't claw into Tseng, and maybe it's lucky that he didn't because now it's not just the sheets that are parting beneath his fingers; full gouges are torn into the padding beneath in the shape of his desperate hands.

    In any other circumstance, the fact that he comes a second time before Tseng has even spent once might rankle; now, he can't be fucked to care as the orgasm feels like it's punched out of him, the thrusts driving into him so relentlessly that there's no space left to keep it held inside. He throws his head back and howls, and rides it out, and before the oversensitivity has even start to set in he's grabbing Tseng and throwing him down to the mattress in turn, rolling them without ever letting his cock leave him.

    No one pins Tseng for long, but he doesn't have to — he just has to keep him down long enough to fit his hands onto his chest and ride him hard, trying to get him to come before he can gather up enough wherewithal to snatch control back again. The springs of the bed are groaning dangerously from the bouncing, bolts rattling as their fastenings start to come loose, but he doesn't care, because what does it matter, what does anything matter but this.]

    [ no one pins tseng, but rufus does for at least these few insane, wonderful seconds. rufus pins him to the bed and rides him with a singleminded fervor, a feverish brightness in his gaze and in his cheeks, his hands solid against tseng's chest and his body hot and slick and so perfect it makes tseng's teeth hurt. he wants to dig his fangs into the softs insides of rufus' thighs and drink from his femoral artery, drain him dry, taste it from right there as he makes rufus come again.

    and maybe he will, soon enough. but first: tseng's hands grip rufus' hips with bruising force, and he pulls rufus down onto his cock and comes inside him with a cry that's nothing more than raw pleasure made into noise. louder than tseng usually is, in bed—in fact he's usually near silent, save for the errant moan or grunt when he approaches climax—but now, for rufus, he is utterly undone.

    tseng doesn't let himself start to soften. he sits up to kiss rufus again, messy and aching, and then rolls them over again before he pulls out of rufus to rearrange their bodies entirely. rufus on his belly, his ass up and his hands on what remains of the headboard, and tseng fucks him hard enough his hips slap against the skin of rufus' ass and leave pink marks behind.

    he could come again, like this. the only thing that stops him is how badly he wants to make rufus come first, at least once—but when he does, when rufus shudders into orgasm beneath him and makes a royal mess of the sheets, it's not enough. for that, tseng hauls rufus back up to splay across his lap, one arm around his waist and the other coming up over his chest, his throat, thumbing affectionately over the shape of his adam's apple before tseng puts his fingers in rufus' mouth to suck on while tseng fucks him again. ]

    [Time passes like the whirlwind they've become themselves. Maybe this really is a brand of insanity, what's passing between them, because Rufus can't rightly remember the last time he's had a conscious thought, or taken an action that wasn't driven by a lion's share of instinct. He notices when he comes in that each one comes with a pulse of blinding pleasure before it fades; he notices when Tseng does because of the way the wet sound of skin meeting skin changes in the brief lull before his intensity redoubles. One moment he's on his back; the next he's on his stomach, and that makes him snarl and thrash for all that he's pinned, biting a pillow to shreds with his fangs in his sulky ire that he can't dig them into Tseng instead.

    By the time he's hauled back up, fingers come as a consolation prize; tempting as it is to cut them and lap at the blood, he finds their presence strangely mollifying and sucks at them eagerly, keeping pace with the drive of Tseng's hips up into his. One hand finds its way to Tseng's thigh, beneath him; the other comes up and behind his own head in search of Tseng's, snatching at his hair and pulling the tie loose to fist in the freed length of it after.

    He's lost track of how many times he's come, by now. More important is keeping up with how many Tseng has, less out of any compulsion to keep them even and more because those few moments are his windows of opportunity, those sparse moments when he might stand to wrest a little bit of an upper hand — and inspire Tseng to all the more possessiveness from having slipped free of his hold for the interim.

    One comes shortly after Tseng does; he feels it fill him, hears Tseng groan, and sets his heels into the bed before pushing them both back, trapping Tseng between his weight and the mattress only long enough to take his own turn at rearranging them. His cock slips free and Rufus can't help but mourn its loss with a whine, but the prospect of getting his own turn at dominance is heady and potent, and he seizes the opportunity as soon as it arrives.

    It's less elegant than when Tseng had rolled them over, but he gets them similarly positioned: Tseng flat on his belly, Rufus draped over his back, their hips fit together. No one, no one gets to do this, but he's reckless and manic and just enough of a brat to grasp for it anyway.]


    You said you'd give me anything —

    [He purrs the implication, throaty and hot, against Tseng's ear from behind, and grinds his dripping cock into the cleft of Tseng's ass — letting him feel it without seeking penetration.]

    Someday you'll be mine, too.

    [He times his moment perfectly, letting his guard slip in the same moment he knows Tseng will move to throw him off, and as their positions reverse again he reaches up and takes Tseng's face in both of his hands, pulling him down to kiss him filthy in the sparse span of seconds he has before Tseng's cock shoves back into him again.]

    [ in the dizzying instants just after orgasm, tseng finds himself upended, rufus applying his strength at just the right moment to buck tseng off him and onto the mattress instead. by the time he regains control of his limbs, rufus already has him stretched out on the mattress, is already draped along him from behind—tseng can't see him, like this, but imagines the look of smugness on his face, the benevolent self-assurance of a young god taking his due.

    rufus' cock slides between the cheeks of his ass and tseng shudders, tense all over, not a rejection of the notion but shocked by his body's immediate hunger. he would let rufus do it, tseng thinks, if not for the fact that he think he'll lose his fucking mind if they have to wait long enough for tseng to be prepped. another time. ]


    Another time, [ tseng promises. he arches his back, rolls his hips back in a mimicry of how he might move if rufus really were fucking him just like this—and then uses the larger bulk of his body to push up off the mattress and fling rufus down onto it instead.

    the kiss comes at just the same moment as tseng shoves his cock back inside rufus, a long perfect thrust that steals the air from his lungs just as surely as rufus' lips do. tseng's hand slams against the headboard with such force that the wood splinters; his fingers curl against the plaster of the wall and leave long, even furrows behind. he leans over rufus' body, proprietary and possessive, and fucks him rabbit-quick in short brutal little thrusts, rufus' hips upturned to take him, to take all of him.

    the other hand, the one that isn't doing violence to the interior decorating, comes up to curl at the base of rufus' skull, the back of his neck. holding him close and unyielding as they kiss and kiss again, messy and through and so erotic tseng can hardly stand it. when they pull apart it's by scant millimeters, their noses still pressed together and lips brushing as tseng says, low and emphatic, ]


    I need you.

    [ rufus asked. tseng promised. and it's just as true now as it had been at the start: tseng is ruined as a certain fact, and rufus is as necessary to him as air or water or the blood in his veins. ]

    [It's not just that the position Rufus finds himself in when Tseng pins him again is intimate; it's that it's vulnerable — bent nearly in half, all his weight distributed between his the small of his back and his shoulders, with even his hips upturned so he's got no real leverage to squirm away. Tseng's arm brackets him on one side while the other holds him at the nape of his neck, and there's nowhere to go, not with his lips above and the bed below and his cock inside, so deep it's like he's feeling each thrust in his lungs. He's trapped, he's pinned, and Tseng —

    Tseng needs him. Needs him like he needs this. Needs him like Rufus craves to be needed.

    His body shakes; for an instant he thinks it might've tried to climax again but found it too soon. Or maybe it's just so much better like this, pressed in as close as they can get, as close as it's possible to get, when he still remembers the ache of that few inches of distance Tseng had been determinedly holding himself at before.]


    You have me.

    [His nails dig into Tseng's back, close to his spine, clutching with a fervor that eerily isn't echoed in his voice — because his voice, for once, is soft. Softer than he'll ever let himself be anywhere else, softer than he can be when he's not so protected as this.]

    You're the only one who can have all of me.

    [ it isn't the ache of rufus' nails breaking skin that undoes tseng—those are wounds that will heal nearly as soon as they're opened. and it isn't the sex, although the pleasure of the sex is blindingly good, so perfect it feels as though tseng must have been made to be inside rufus this way. what it is, in the end, is the softness of rufus' voice as he speaks: a softness that tseng knows on instinct no one else will ever see from him, that no one else will ever deserve. this brief moment a secret tenderness that both of them will carry in a corner of their chests as long as they both live.

    tseng comes almost silently, this time. he gasps, presses his mouth to rufus' in a deep, unhesitating kiss, and shudders as his cock throbs and he empties himself into the willing heat of rufus' body one more time. it hollows him out, this orgasm, leaves him feeling oddly off-kilter, almost bereft for want of more to give—as though he hoped to fill rufus with as much of him as possible, so rufus would never stand a chance of scrubbing himself clean.

    into the narrow gap between their bodies tseng slips his hand and curls it low around rufus' cock. he jerks rufus off much like he'd fucked him, in quick, firm strokes, less coaxing than he is shoving rufus bodily over the edge of his next climax. this, too, is a need: the need to feel rufus come apart just like tseng has come apart, fragmented and scattered to all corners of the room, his awareness little more than this ruined bed and the beautiful man underneath him. ]

    [All of Tseng's vows come true, then. There's no better word for how Rufus feels in that moment than ruined, as Tseng fills him again for what feels like the hundredth time; there's no greater certainty in his fuck-addled mind than that he's always going to feel like this, that the stretch and girth and sensation of it will never, never fade. Deft fingers close around him and drag him to the verge of the orgasm that'd escaped him before, and no one else can make him feel like this, can do this to him; anyone else, truly, would pale by comparison.

    There's a certain poetic symmetry that he'd been the first to come when they'd started, and he's the last to do it now; it quakes out of him and spills over Tseng's hand more weakly than many of his others, leaving him moaning low and exhausted as euphoria rushes in to fill the places where his strength had once been. With his eyes closed and his body still but for the involuntary trembling he couldn't suppress if he tried, Rufus simply holds still and silent and floats in the sensation that envelops him, still curled in on himself and pinned tight beneath the drape of Tseng's body, panting and wet and a tempest of emotions he couldn't put a name to if he tried.

    What he can do, he finds, is run his fingers in light, compact circles against Tseng's skin, feeling the tips dampen with what might be beads of the blood his nails had clawed out.]


    Is that —

    [His voice cracks; he realizes, belatedly, that it's because panting for air has made the back of his throat go dry, and he has to swallow hard to wet it before he can go on.]

    — that's how I make you feel?

    [He shudders all over, trapped between Tseng and the last bit of mattress that isn't hopelessly shredded, and sighs in exhausted contentment.]

    [ for several long moments they're both silent save for the ragged sound of breathing. even the silence feels intimate in a way, a shared stillness that is in its own way an indulgence—no need to disengage and pull apart, not yet.

    and then rufus speaks, and tseng finds himself laughing weakly, an unexpected and rough sound that illuminates exactly how dry his own throat is as well. ]


    It seems my— [ he pauses, swallows. they'll need water. there should be some, somewhere in the room—tseng swallows again and turns his brain off for a second. ] My demonstration was as effective as I'd hoped.

    [ slowly, he pushes himself up enough that he can look down into rufus' face. he looks destroyed, every bit as wrecked as tseng himself feels—his face flushed and glistening with sweat, slick at his temples, his hair sticking to it in its wild dishevelment. he's beautiful. tseng leans down to press their mouths together in a slow kiss, this one less needy but no less full of desire. ]

    I'm going to get water. [ they can't just keep drinking each other's blood. tseng pulls back, pulls out slowly, letting his cock slip from rufus' body with a sound of disappointment that he can't quite stifle. ] I'll be right back. Leave room for me.

    [ he doesn't say it aloud, but it's there in his expression: tseng doesn't want to leave this bed any more than rufus wants him to leave it. but they do need to at least wet their throats, and having it at the bedside will make it easier for them to—what? curl up together and bask in the afterglow?

    if that's what rufus wants then tseng will do it. it is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, exactly what tseng would like to do. ]

    [For just a fraction of a second, Rufus thinks of saying no — unmindful of the fact that Tseng's decision to fetch water wasn't presented as a question, knowing full well that he could still veto any course of action and have his whims heeded just because he said so. But really it's just that he doesn't want Tseng to draw back even an inch from how they'd been; it's betrayed in the noise he makes himself, halfway a whimper and not quite a whine. The sensation of him pulling out must be, he decides, the worst thing he's ever felt — to have felt so good and have it taken away is intolerable, agonizing.

    He doesn't mean to let it bleed through their connection the way it does, but it does: the world's softest, tenderest reproach at the unthinkable suggestion of being separated from him for even an instant, much less leaving him there by his lonesome.

    It's childish. He makes himself focus on the promise to return, rather than the tragedy of the departure, and rolls over onto his side in search of a stretch of pillow that isn't obliterated and the soft oblivion of the still-warm mattress underneath him.]


    Hurry back.

    [There's still cum inside him. Turned over, he can feel it start to drip, and it ought to leave him feeling a little filthy but there's an odd preternatural solace in it, too. Like having Tseng's bites in his skin, his blood in his mouth; he'll take all the echoes of his presence that he can get.]

    [ of course rufus could order him not to leave, and tseng would obey without question—and then where would they be? right back at the beginning again, superior and subordinate, three inches of space a chasm between them. instead, what tseng gets through their emotional bond is something not unlike chiding, but gently, like rufus is sulking about being abandoned and bereft and trying his very best not to show it.

    tseng can't help it. he smiles, leans down to press his lips briefly to rufus' shoulder, right at the outermost curve of it. ]


    I will.

    [ and he does. the bathroom juts off the bedroom only a few paces away, making it easy for tseng to retrieve a damp cloth and two cups of water; less than forty-five seconds and he's back, setting both glasses on the nightstand and climbing back into bed to rejoin rufus in bed. the mattress is still warm. tseng kicks the damp comforter down the bed and tugs the unspoiled topsheet up to cover them both to the hip, then slides an arm over rufus' waist, a reassuring presence. ]

    [His eyes are closed when Tseng's lips find his shoulder, unbidden and affirming; it's just enough to transmute his sulking into patience, and a soft noise of appreciation escapes his lips at the brush of contact. It's not as though Tseng is ever really gone, after all; he can hear his footsteps cross the room, can hear the water run and the clinking sound of the glasses touching down on the nightstand, but still he doesn't really relax until the weight of that arm falls comfortably over him and the heat of another body is close enough to be unmistakable.]

    I do, [he says, quietly,] Need you.

    [The powerful vampire king that had preened in the club would never admit to being anything less than strong, anything less than perfect. The new president of Shinra would never have, either, walking as he did in the shadow of the old.

    Tseng deserves better than that. Deserves to know that he's special, he's different, that he's wanted right where he is and not a perfect three inches of space held separate.]


    And even if I didn't I would still want you. You know that, don't you?

    Mm. [ tseng's arm drapes over rufus' waist, his palm pressed to rufus' lower belly. thumb moving back and forth over the fine trail of hair leading down from his navel, a gesture that could be nothing other than residual possessiveness. even though they've fucked it out, more or less, there's still a burn somewhere inside tseng's chest that tells him to keep his hands on rufus, to stop him from getting swept away.

    across the bond between them tseng can feel that rufus means it. to admit to feelings when they're like this, unable to hide much of anything from each other, is an act of absolute vulnerability; tseng knows how much it means for rufus to offer so willingly. ]


    I'm beginning to believe it.

    [ if tseng were to tilt his head just a little bit forward, he would be able to press his lips to the uppermost knob of rufus' spine, right at the nape of his neck. along with all the other complicated emotion he's sending right back across their sympathetic link, perhaps rufus will also be able to sense how badly he wants to do exactly that. ]

    [It's a dangerous thing, that connection; it means that Rufus can feel the weight of Tseng's ache like a phantom kiss in and of itself, stirring up distant memories of a time he was pressed facedown to his desk and a hot tongue ran up his skin in much the same place, prompted by much the same desire. His own body becomes a conduit for Tseng's desire, cycles it and adds to it and reflects it back magnified by his own — a reciprocal loop of spirit far too potent for the exhausted flesh, too much want for one body to hold. His arm settles over top of Tseng's, answering possessiveness with approval in turn; Tseng doesn't want to let him go, he knows, and Rufus doesn't want to be let go, and he's the one who's spent his life learning to want things with the force of an exploding star.

    Behind closed eyes and slow breaths, for once, he lets his desires do the talking — a language not dissimilar to the way they can converse with gestures and microexpressions, only this time it takes no movement at all, from how some phantasmal part of each of them has kissed up against the other, has braided together and refuses to let go.

    All of me, it croons, a faint and tantalizing echo of the words he'd spoken before. Only you can have all of me.]
