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 MENTALITY ► Monsters 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.

✦ walking undead
( mona helps a zombie victim. potential nsfw. )

Stay still. I only have a handkerchief on me, but this will serve as a bandage for now.

[ investigating the abandoned clinic had led to the remarkable discovery of the walking undead. to think such ghoulish creatures were lurking in the basement... if it weren't for her restored vision, mona would not have had the ability to save the poor individual that had been cornered down there. upon locating them, she'd immediately cast an omen on her targets and ran forward to grasp the arm of the victim. it was as they fled the scene that the handful of zombies chasing after them exploded in a burst of hydro.

one would think they made it out unscathed, but unfortunately that was not the case. it was just as they rounded the corner and approached the stairs that a lone ghoul surprised them—and subsequently bit into the forearm of mona's rescuee. ]

That should do.

[ she finishes tying the knot and huffs, dissatisfied. what will they do now? ]

✦ influx
( monster hunter mona prompts! femdom and tentacle play or domination loss; pick your poison. nsfw. )

( a. ) Careful. Take another step and I’ll have to act.

[ both of mona's hands are poised in the air in preparation to summon her offensive magic. however, rather than reacting cautiously to the beast in front of her, mona is smiling. how unusual. it almost appears as if she is enjoying the hunt. perhaps the air of excitement has gotten to her; it's been quite some time since she has last been in combat. there's nothing wrong with a bit of playtime, is there?

her objective does not heed her warning, seemingly edging back with the intent to flee. she won't have that. ]

Fine, [ mona says, flourishing the fingers of her left hand. glimmering tendrils of hydro manifest in her open palm, visibly lengthening and thickening until each one has a familiar, bulbous head. the shape should make her intent very clear—these water-based tentacles will not be used to harm, but to subdue. ] I'll be capturing you, then.

[ she arrogantly lifts her chin and sends the tendrils rushing towards her desired little beastman. they instantly coil around legs and arms, nudging away at her target's clothes and drenching them in the process. soon, the beast is completely immobilized.

this is where the fun begins. ]

( b. ) [ the beast is more capable than she thought.

held in their grip, mona realizes now just how far her opponent's strength exceeds her own. after all, they are of supernatural creation. how could she, a human, hope to fair against something so monstruous? her vision had allowed her to put up a brief fight, but in the end, she is now in their clutches. ]

You—let go. Are you that eager to have your way with me?

[ somehow, she still has it in her to be bratty. ]

✦ the coven
( mona visits the smoked egg. fine with wherever this goes! vampirism, siring, nsfw, regular conversation, etc. )

[ seated at the bar, mona speaks to the person sitting beside her. ]

They are strangely friendly, aren't they?

[ the vampires mingling about, that is.

honestly, she isn't sure why she decided to stay after catching a glimpse of the activities going on here. curiosity, maybe? these creatures seem very adamant on turning others into them, dragging their pointed teeth over the smooth, unblemished flesh of their victims' necks. in contrast, mona isn't interested in drinking blood at all. the beverage she is currently nursing is something average and fruit-flavored. peach, specifically.

but still. what a sight.

a short distance away, the coven of vampires are feasting on each other—both literally and metaphorically. mona hesitates to watch, occasionally sneaking glances over at the orgy as she sips from her glass, a small, somewhat noticeable flush coloring her cheeks. the shamelessness of it all is baffling. ]

✦ wildcard & ooc

( these prompts are open to anyone, both new and old players! for nsfw, mona's preference is 18+, but i can make exceptions to that if we chat about it first; don't be shy. if you have something else in mind, you're free to hit me with a wildcard. i can also write a closed starter if you prefer.

you're welcome to pm me or contact

himejoshi to plot out any specifics! )

( he's not all that pleased about being here--it's more that it feels like one of the only places here where he isn't about to end up in some wayward hunter's net, or corralled into some small space 'for his own good'. for whatever reason, for whatever paltry comfort it brings, the vampires in this place seem to stick together; after being ushered into the smoked egg, he's starting to understand why. there's plenty of blood here, enough that it peaks his nerves, twists his stomach in interest at the smell--there's plenty of prey here, feasted and doted over by the many other vampires scattered around the seats and cushions. he hadn't been particularly interested in diving into all that: it had seemed better to observe it at a distance, tucked into the bar, trying to wrestle with this new feeling.

because it's weird, isn't it? the resort's done plenty of things like this before, turning people into animals, monsters, fucking with their senses, fucking with their bodies. but there's a small part of him that wonders if the teeth he feels over with the tip of his tongue will remain with him long after this--if he'll be relegated to spending nights awake in a hungry rage, rather than stretched out on the grass of the gardens up top, feeling the fake sunlight. everything he knows about vampires is from silly folklore, and none of it is real, none of it is the buried truth, like sorcery: or rather, at least at this point, he's never met one on his missions before.

the girl seated with him is human. well, as far as he can tell, anyway, and as far as the six eyes want to tell him: her embarrassment is something of a comfort, watching the way she darts to look at the debauchery around them like she can't quite find her footing, can't quite admit her interest. with a sloping grin, he turns his gaze back to the blood bottle between his fingers: tilting it back and forth, watching it slosh around on the inside. )

Too friendly, for you? ( with a warm grin, a glint of a sharp canine tooth. ) Bet they'd welcome in a pretty thing like you real quick.

( so had been his experience, anyway. without his sunglasses, the room feels too in-focus; his bright blue eyes dart to look behind the bar, considering. )

If it's scary, though, I can go with you. ( his shoulders straighten, swinging his head sidelong towards one to give her a playful wink. ) Bodyguard duty, you know~.

They've made their attempt already. The instant I arrived, I was surrounded. It took considerable effort to pave way to the bar and order my drink.

[ mona is used to attention; she is a notable figure in her world, someone who has gathered fans all over teyvat through her astrology column, presentations, and teachings. however, it is definitely... different attention down here.

the swarm of vampires had greeted her by sliding their hands up her arms, caressing her waist and tilting her chin to meet their dark, lustful gazes, silently challenging her to resist temptation. the scent of iron was heavy between them—she knew instantly what they were. if mona weren't as domineering as she is, perhaps she could've been swayed by the atmosphere and drowned in debauchery together with these creatures of folklore. those around her certainly have.

but that wasn't the case.

instead, she ended up perched in the corner, not-so-discreetly peeking at others as they lost themselves to their newly-forged desires. it'd be impossible not to find interest in it—the sight of naked bodies converging together, twisting, grinding, as those above lavish their punctured necks with attention. and should the sight of a vampire orgy not be intriguing enough, mona is conversing with one, too. ]

You're not very subtle, either. [ she pointedly glances down at his pointed teeth and the bottled blood in his hands. ] Were you looking to turn me, too?

[ mona is naturally very curious, so she does seriously consider his offer to shield and guide her. ]

( there's a laugh, pressed through his nose, lips curling up into a grin. )

Yeah, I've heard that may~be once or twice. ( that he's not subtle. he's more the type of person to crash through a wall than climb his way up and around it. )

But you know, if I wanted to turn you or whatever, I could have done it already. Seems kind of weird to be biting people without permission, right?

( his gaze moves back to the bottle of blood, watching the insides slosh against the plastic; sure, in some other situation, in some other tangle of nerves, or arousal, it would be easy enough to excuse, but dragging in some poor girl from the bar to lay his teeth on her just doesn't seem right, for all that he might be one that relies a little too much on selfish desires. he's supposed to protect humans, isn't he? protect the weak, or whatever suguru said? isn't this the exact opposite?

with another breath, his eyes wince, glancing up at her, and then back behind her towards the bulk of the 'party'. )

We can play pretend pretty easily, though. I'll just tell them not to bite you 'cause you're mine. ( a delicate little shrug. ) If you wanna get close to all that.

( who knows? maybe her kink is watching people. he's not going to judge--but he is going to pull his gaze away from her neck and jaw, as though the delicate skin there is just a little too tempting to be so focused on it without relief. )

Yours, hm? I'm not sure about that. They appear very eager to share.

[ since taking her seat, mona has seen it happen maybe three or so times already. an unsuspecting person walks in and is quickly brought forward into the arms of mingling vampires. they coo praises and whisper promises of pleasure, and then, when their victim is flushed and wanting, a single vampire within the group will bite them. those cradling their new consort's arms and legs follow up by swarming forward and taking turns lapping up the blood, tongues swiping over the open, tender wound. sometimes—and to mona's embarrassment—they'll lift their faces to share deep, open-mouthed kisses with each other.

so, yes... sharing doesn't seem to be an issue here. but perhaps she can encourage the man beside her to behave a bit more possessively. it might discourage other predators from claiming her. as it is with humans, taking someone else's belonging is seen as a criminal offense. ]

We will have to make amends to our plans, [ she continues, pausing to sip her drink. the peachy flavor spreads on her tongue. part of mona wonders that if she did kiss someone they'd taste it, too. but almost as quickly, she chases the thought away. ] Rather than simply telling them I belong to you, I'd like you to make it more well-known.

[ she finishes her drink with a final sip. her glass is then placed onto the counter in front of her. the alcohol in her system has caused a delicate pink hue to have blossomed in her cheeks. ]

You can do that, can't you?

[ how gojou goes about it is up to him. ]

( the mission here is obvious--if a little unclear, now that the girl turns towards him, now that he can see the flush of alcohol in her cheeks. it's not that he thinks she's going to come out of her comfortable haze and accuse him of doing something she didn't ask for; it's nothing like that. but another glance over his shoulder at the obvious debauchery makes him acutely aware of those teeth again, the way they prick at his tongue when he runs over them again, obsessive, as though hoping at some point they simply won't exist there anymore at all. if he bites her, it's all over. that seems to be the theme, at least as much as he can tell: if the rest of them smell her blood, sweet enough, they'll clamor over her for a chance to taste it, to sink their own teeth into her skin, pleasurable enough but again, not the thing that he's supposed be doing here. wouldn't be a very good bodyguard--fake or not--if he just threw her to the proverbial wolves.

so he lets out a playful sigh, as though she's stuck him with a conundrum--and for a lick of courage, he wrenches open the bottle in his hands, tipping it up to his mouth so that he can swallow down a mouthful. blood, as he figured it would, doesn't have the most pleasant consistency: but it tastes good, despite the obvious metallic tang, despite the curling scent of it. and it warms his stomach much better than anything else he can manage, now; even if he thinks the distant smell of her peachy drink is sweet enough that his mouth nearly waters for it.

the rest of the blood in the bottle sloshes, as he caps it again: and sets it on the bar, so that he can slide down out of his seat; with his long legs, they're nearly the same height, with mona seated on the stool still. )

Al~right. Step One. ( both of his hands, bold, come in for her knees: but only so that he can push them together, get one arm up around the back of them and hoist her up off her seat--he bends, bracing her stomach against his shoulder, and with her petite little form draped over him, he straightens up again. ) Transport.

( with her thrown over his shoulder like a hunter carrying prey, that should be easy enough: the problem seems to be with his careful approach to the cushions and blankets and bodies spread out behind them, and after a moment, he finds a spot to duck in towards the edge, gently tipping down onto his knees to let mona drop onto a safe barrier of plush cushions.

near them, a group of three vampires and two--seeming--humans glance up, but it's only a knowing sort of gaze before they return to their 'work'.)

Step Two. ( he says, from where he's settled onto his knees in between mona's legs--his large palms grip either of her slender thighs, squeezing them, keeping her in place. ) Close your eyes.

[ seemingly amused by her demand, he takes to finishing off his own drink. mona observes him silently, distinctly aware of that sharp, familiar scent of penny permeating the space between them—or mora, in her case. it tickles her nose and has her wondering how it must taste to those destined to drink it. is it as delicious as vampires make it out to seem? can gojou stave off his desire for more? the vampires joined around them are zealous in their pursuit of blood, giving way to acts of pure self-indulgence. and with the way that gojou is savoring the bottle, she must assume he finds pleasure in the flavor, too.

well. she supposes the coven's intentions aren't too far off from her own. somewhat eager to join the swarm, mona will be using gojou to indulge in her own selfish curiosity. at least he appears to be happy to play along. mona is a researcher, so it's only expected of her to want to explore and conduct a study. this study just so happens to be a little more... hands-on. but what is an astrologist without some flamboyancy?

gojou sets down the bottle and rises to his feet. he is able to squarely meet her gaze despite no longer sitting on the stool, surprising her with his height. mona only gets a small glimpse of his playful smile before he is leaning forward and hooking her beneath the knees. ]

Transport? You—oh!

[ she makes a terribly undignified squeak as she is effortlessly hoisted up and over his shoulder, her long, tousled black hair fluttering out around her with the movement. mona can feel a fierce blush rushing up her neck as gojou meanders over to the mingling vampires. she doesn't struggle any; after all, mona did ask for this treatment. but that sentiment doesn't prevent her from flushing hot the instant gojou deposits her onto an array of cushion and pillow.

a bit disheveled, she makes a little ahem. mona then adjusts her bangs with her fingers. ]

G-Good, [ she mumbles, embarrassed. ] Yes, of course.

[ mona closes her eyes just as he requested of her. ]
