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

Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our parking garage for all new arrivals. We aim to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience!

All are invited to There Is No Tomorrow, a Phoenix Casino soiree to celebrate our beloved guests. The festivities will begin at 1800 hours on January 20th and end at 1800 hours on January 27th. Please look forward to 168 hours of delight.

In an effort to raise happiness and encourage better guest relationships, attendance is required. The house will assist guests that are too shy to appear of their own accord. Please note that black tie attire is mandatory. As always, we hope you enjoy your stay! 】



PARKING GARAGE
ANY CAR IN A STORM
WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN PEA... CAR? ► Thanks to a classic move called “overbooking,” new arrivals aren't being checked into rooms — the front desk and concierge have made an executive decision to temporarily house new arrivals in the parking garage. This may actually not be as bad as one may think! All of the vehicles in the Golden Peacock's garage are luxury; some are even bigger than the basement suites. There are, however, a limited number of cars available. Guests are booked into cars in pairs or sets of three.

► All vehicles in the Golden Peacock's parking garage are top of the line models. While the body style and year vary, their common denominator is that they are expensive. New arrivals may wake up in any kind of luxury vehicle from a zippy little Maserati to a SUV limousine. Guests waking up in larger, party-style vehicles may find the inside bar stocked with booze and snacks. Due to the nature of waking up in cars, they may wake up anywhere in their new ride. Even the trunk!

► New arrivals wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are dramatic sets bedazzled with precious gems. These robes are inspired by the 1920s. Some are silk, some are sheer, some are lined with fur. All are over the top. If it has the flavor of old Hollywood or wealth your character can wake up in it. Some lucky guests may even find old fashioned smoking pipes or extended cigarette holders in their robe pockets.

► After briefly being dumbfounded, the valet, who normally has nothing to do, will scurry down with a few racks of clothes. All articles on the racks have been dragged out of storage; the majority of the pieces are old-fashioned or mismatched. All he can do is continue to bow deeply and apologize for the lack of amenities in the parking garage. No one ever comes here!
SUITES DON'T DO THIS!The cars in the parking garage are temperamental. Guests may find doors locking and unlocking of their own accord when they're trying to exit the vehicle. When inside with someone else, the radio will change to a channel playing romantic music. The lights will flicker, dim, or turn off to create some sexy ambiance. They've been in the parking garage for a long time and haven't seen any action in decades. That famous car that starred in Titanic got people to have sex in it. Why can't they!

Some of the cars may act strangely in other ways. The AC or heat will blast unexpectedly, the horn will go off at the least opportune moment, the engine will steam, the seats will spring back without anyone pressing the lever... if it can go wrong in a car, it can happen.

If asked, the valet will explain that over the past few months parts have gone mysteriously missing from some of the cars. Stolen, by no good dirty thieves! But what kind of ragamuffin would snatch car parts in the Golden Peacock? Regardless, he will apologize about the issues. They will continue until those missing parts are returned or replaced.

He will offer a monetary reward to anyone that can bring him any information about the guests that have been stealing car parts. It makes him look incompetent at his job, you see. All he has to do is watch these cars that don't go anywhere! If the house catches wind that they're needing repairs on his watch he's liable to lose his job. He's got four engaged daughters and he's got to pay for their weddings. He can't afford to get fired!



PHOENIX CASINO HALL
WELCOME TO THE NEXT 168 HOURS
Phoenix Casino is a-flutter with activity and packed to the beak with guests. As a famously ever-changing space, the staff would be remiss if they didn't deck the crown jewel of the Golden Peacock out. The casino glitters from top to bottom, shining brighter than diamonds, rubies, sapphires, opals! Party-goers are shiny and glamorous with picture perfect makeup, fluttering gowns, and sharp suits. Card tables are packed and the slot machines are a-ringing as guests play, play, play! Prizes, luxury, booze, attractive people, it's the place that everyone wants to be at.

Those people being dragged inside by some invisible force...? Silly, they were so excited to come that their bodies moved before they realized what was happening. Those are struggles of joy and definitely not the casino's infamous ghost hands dragging unwilling guests to the party at the behest of the house. Look, they're literally hurling their bodies at the card tables with unrestrained glee!

All clocks indicating day hours and night hours have been removed from the casino. Once a guest has entered, their Watch will jam, making it impossible to keep track of the time. You don't need to worry about that tonight.
AT THE DOOR ► Guests must adhere to the black tie dress code to enter. Those that show up in less than their best won't be turned away — but they will be stuffed into a rental outfit provided by the staff. All provided outfits are gaudy, flashy, and encrusted with jewelry. Also — itchy. Too much starch.

Guests that do not want to come will be "helped" to the party by the casino's favorite ghost hands. They will be dragged, levitated, and thrown across the resort until they've "joined" the party. Those that wish to opt out will be conveniently overlooked, completely forgotten by both the house and the hands because they, "lack presence." Ouch!

► Guests that wish to leave the party before it reaches its official end 168 hours later will find obstacles getting in the way of exiting. Staff pop out of nowhere to cheerfully guide them over to this new game they must try. Waiters stop them with trays of steaming food that they think they'll really enjoy. Long-standing guests stumble directly into their path and drag them into some drunken shenanigans. The doors will randomly get stuck. While guests can certainly escape the party, the forces that be are determined to make it difficult for them to call it a night.
REFRESHMENTSWHAT THE RICH FOLK EAT: A massive buffet table lines the back wall of the casino. This nod to overconsumption and gluttony features expensive and exquisite eats from land to sea. Everything on the table is decadent; only the best for guests of the Golden Peacock. The servers working the table encourage guests to eat and eat and eat, even going so far as to help them load up their 16 inch plates until they're overflowing. Less is more? Nonsense. More is more.

IT'S GETTING BUBBLY: While there are plenty of libations to go around, there is one special champagne that's guaranteed sweep you off your feet. A few sips of the bubbly will have you floating in the air like you're the grandpa from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Guests that drink the bubbly will become like a bubble themselves, rising to the ceiling and swimming through the air. Unlike Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, however, burping isn't the answer to grounding safely. The bubbly wears off randomly and without warning, so be careful of falling on another guest or someone's game table.

JUST A PUFF OR TWO: There's a new smoke that's captured the attention of party-goers. This popular new drug is called twig. Smoked from a very thin joint with an earthy taste. Need to add some pep to your step? Twig is the smoking equivalent of two hundred cups of coffee. Who needs sleep? With twig, it's possible to stay awake for upwards of three days without feeling tired. Guests report feeling "brilliantly energized" after smoking twig. However, reports also note that once the high wears off, the user might feel like a deflated balloon that's been run over by a truck. Long-standing guests will encourage newer guests to give it a try. You can sleep after the party, bro!
GAME ROOMS
TRY YOUR LUCK

DIRTY DICE: EVEN DIRTIER A crowd favorite — Dirty Dice is BACK and now it's even dirtier. The creators put their heads together to come up with funnier and more dynamic dice options to keep things interesting for players. While the original game used a pair of standard six-sided dice, Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier debuts a pair of hefty twelve-sided dice.

► The rules for Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier remain the same as last year. Players will be seated at a two-top (though group Dirty Dice games are also encouraged!) with a set of dirty dice. The starting player rolls both dice. The action created with the dice must then be done to the opposing player — however, the rolling player does have the option to turn down the action if they're chicken. The second player will then roll the dice to create an action, similarly able to turn down the action if they're also chicken. Players continue to take turns until there is a winner.

► The first player to complete four actions will receive bragging rights, an extra large chip payout, and the resounding applause from the audience. For low rank guests, winning Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier may also come with an invitation to one of the exclusive lounges.

SEX TOY ROULETTE Come one, come all, step right up and try your luck with Sex Toy Roulette! Several giant roulette wheels (an ode to our favorite morning TV show, The Price Is Right) are waiting for those brave enough to give them a spin. Sex Toy Roulette is a game of chance that comes with risks and rewards. Are you daring enough to give it a go?

► Sex Toy Roulette is very easy to play. The player steps up to the wheel, grabs the handle, and gives it their best spin. Whatever the needle lands on when the wheel stops is what the player wins! Lucky ducks might land on one of the fabulous instant prizes which can be claimed immediately. Less lucky ducks land on one of the sex toy options.

► If the needle lands on one of the sex toy options the roulette manager will give the player the corresponding sex toy. The toy will sync with the player's Watch and begin a countdown of 4 hours. The instructions for further steps are also transmitted to their Watch: Use this sex toy in a sex act with another guest within 4 hours.

► Players that complete the game and use the sex toy within 4 hours will receive no penalty. They also get to keep the sex toy. Yay!

► Players that do not complete the game and do not use the sex toy within 4 hours will be penalized. Not only will a substantial amount of chips be drained from their bank account, guests may experience a sudden and intense suit flare. Wildcards may randomly experience symptoms of ANY SUIT.

  • The royal experience. Travel around the party in the coveted Pure Gold Peacock Palanquin. Enjoy 24 hours of topless servants and constant hand-and-foot service. All of your commands will be obeyed.
  • Select from an assortment of luxury watches, necklaces, earrings, and other expensive articles of clothing. Cashmere, pure silk, Mongolian wool — high quality items for keeps. May also select from appliances that would not be normally found in low rank suites.
  • A brand new car or motorcycle!!! Yes, the car will have to live in the garage, but it's all yours. Winners who choose a motorcycle may ride it around the hallways of the resort.

  • ► The specific details of the sex toy a character is given is left to OOC discretion. For example, if you choose to land on "vibrator", you may have your character given any kind of vibrator. Have fun!

    1 or 11 Down the hall from the main hub guests may find a clandestine room with a silvery sign on the door — ARE YOU 1 OR 11? Crossing the threshold brings a different atmosphere from the card tables and slot machines. The game manager stops every person that comes inside, offering four cards and asking the new player to select one.

    "This will be your role inside Lovers' Hideaway," she explains with a smile. After selecting a card, the player will be guided past the velvet curtains to join in the amorous atmosphere of a silver-studded lounge with several private bedrooms.


    1 or 11 is a game of dominance and submission. The four hidden cards offered at the door are all Ace cards. The specific Ace card that the player draws indicates their role of either Dominant or Submissive. For the rest of their time inside Lover's Hideaway that is the dynamic they are expected to play. Players will win a large payout after any intimate D/s encounter.

    ► A player must redraw every time they leave and return to Lovers' Hideaway, so it is possible to play both dynamics.

    A♦: ACE OF DIAMONDS — 1, Submissive.
    A♥︎: ACE OF HEARTS — 11, Dominant.
    A♣: ACE OF CLUBS — 1, Submissive.
    A♠: ACE OF SPADES — 11, Dominant.


    ► The rules of 1 or 11 are otherwise very relaxed. Doms and Subs seek one another out inside Lovers' Hideaway and find mutual satisfaction together. The staff of Lovers' Hideaway are happy to provide any amenities that the couple would like to use in their play.
    HOUSE OF CARDS Ladies and gentleman! Do you dare to test how steady your hands are? Are you ready for a new challenge? Come play our new game, House of Cards. Step up to any table with a house of cards and prepare to go head-to-head with another guest in a game of strategy and luck.


    ► Players take turns removing one of the cards from a house of cards. Similarly to Jenga, players must be careful not to knock the house of cards over when removing a card. The player that causes the house to collapse is the loser. A large sum of chips will be transfered from the loser to the winner after the house falls.

    ► Each card has a question. After successfully pulling a card, the player must then answer the question honestly. Questions vary in intensity, ranging from simple inquiries such as, What is your favorite color? to more complicated, Would you betray a loved one for financial gain?

    ► Failure to answer the question or to answer it honestly will register as a loss on the player's Watch. The player will then be flagged as the loser and a large sum of chips will be transferred to the winning player.
    EXCLUSIVE LOUNGES
    ONLY FOR THE FEW

    HIGH CLASS OASIS Being a high rank in the Golden Peacock comes with perks. 168 hours is exhausting, so staff have arranged a luxurious respite for the high rank guests that need a break from the party. Guests ranked 10 - King are invited to come relax in the High Class Oasis. Suit-clad and sunglasses wearing security stand at the door and check each guest's credentials before they're allowed to enter.

    Security are strict about monitoring who is allowed to come into the oasis. They won't even allow a high rank to bring a mid or low rank with them; they won't risk upsetting any of the other high ranks. However, while these security guards are loyal and diligent, they aren't especially smart. It is possible for low and mid rank guests to sneak into the oasis with a bit of ingenuity. But be careful — if you don't walk the high class walk, one of the royal long-term guests might call for security to drag the peasants away.
  • Private bedrooms and sleeping pods.
  • Bathroom featuring showers, bath tubs, hot tubs, sauna, and steam room.
  • Racks of complimentary clothing.
  • Top-shelf bottles of wine, champagne, and spirits.
  • Complimentary cigarettes and cigars.
  • Full body massages and masseuses on call.
  • Birdbucks baristas serving up any and all coffee drinks, on the house.
  • Peace and quiet away from the peasants!


  • HIGH ROLLER CLUB Guests that are willing to bet high and gamble hard are invited to play in the High Roller Club. The High Roller Club isn't for the faint of wallet or heart; everything played inside this exclusive club is high risk and high reward. Guests that refuse to match the high risk energy of the club will be escorted out immediately. Entrance to the High Roller Club is dependent upon the means to bet high. If the dealers judge a guest to be broke and/or a coward, unable to put forth chips and unwilling to bet their bodies, they will be denied access.

    Guests that have been denied access but are caught trying to sneak in will be conscripted into drink service. They will be dressed up in a sexy bird costume and made to serve drinks to high rollers. Think sexy casino bunny, bird edition. Hey, at least that gives them a bird's eye view of how the extremely wealthy (and gambling addicts) play?
  • All games require large bets, either monetary or bodily.
  • Sex acts may be offered in lieu of chips if the player has no chips left to bet.
  • All drinks are complementary when playing in the club.
  • Wins and losses must be large enough to be impactful on a player's daily life.
  • Players can end up in the red, which triggers instant conscription. Players in massive debt will be forced to work in other areas of the party to begin paying back the house.
  • Any kind of game may be played in the club, including games under the "Game Rooms" tab.


  • WOMEN'S PARLOR A pair of eight foot Amazonian bouncers guard the doors to the Women's Parlor. Only guests that identify as women will be allowed to enter the parlor. Guests that identify as men will be blocked by the bouncers' crossed spears. This lounge is a private space for women to relax and refresh during the festivities.

    Like the other lounges, it is not impossible for guests that identify as men to sneak into the Women's Parlor. However, these Amazonian bouncers won't move an inch from the door and refuse to engage with men, leaving little room for persuasion or sneaking. Men who wish to sneak into the Women's Parlor will have to crossdress as women in order to pass the bouncers. It's important to keep up the act, too, lest the long-standing guests inside the parlor realize that men have snuck into their haven and call the Amazons to come catch them.
  • Comfortable couches and sofas; blankets and pillows.
  • A few showers stocked with amenities.
  • Quick laundry service for gowns and pantsuits.
  • Exclusive dessert bar, featuring limited edition pastries.
  • High tea at all hours, featuring limited edition tea blends and mini sandwiches.
  • Running chocolate fountain and numerous dip-able foods such as fruits and marshmallows.
  • Numerous kittens and cats for cuddling.
  • Complimentary shoulder and/or foot massages.






  • HANGOVER AFTERCARE
    DID YOU HAVE FUN?
    A LITTLE AFTERCAREThe morning after the party ends, characters will find themselves waking up with someone else in their bed. Did you go to bed with someone last night? Oops, looks like they got misplaced in the shuffle, but please enjoy this new person. No one should wake up alone after a party — or so the house thinks. Affection and intimacy have been reported to increase happiness in humans and semi-human individuals after an exhausting escapade. Plus, it's heard that hangovers can be torturous. Not that it would know.

    ► Guests won't just be waking up to each other. Waiting for them are trays with steaming hot breakfast and a large cloth bag labeled Hangover Kit. While you're enjoying some coffee and munching on bacon, feel free to dig into the bag and check out what the house has sent for you! Isn't it the best host?

    Please enjoy your complimentary: water bottle; aspirin packs; Pepto-Bismol; Gas-X; Imodium; anal douche; enema kit; viagra; face masks; a box of Bon-Bons; and one (1) random sex toy.

    Have a pleasant sleepy morning!

    It was. Though, the day I awoke was tumultuous already. I had not been given time at all to prepare myself.

    [ she recalls it now, the embarrassing memory of finding herself tricked by a magical leash and collar, one that snagged her by the neck and demanded another guest be her 'master'. it wouldn't release either of them unless a condition was met—a sexual act of sorts, befitting of the environment she'd found herself in. mona has not stumbled across another bewitched item since, but it made a large impression.

    you mustn't put your trust in the features here. the house will use anything to encourage salacious behavior.
    ]

    Be wary of anything charmed, [ she warns, nose wrinkling in displeasure. ] They will influence you regardless of your reservations.

    [ another two feathers are removed, and then mona sets the comb onto the bed. her hair, long and spilling down her back and shoulders in rivulets, is no longer is disarray. now, she can finally take a long-earned sip of tea to help alleviate her migraine. ]

    I am certain you've read about it, but there is also the matter of your suit. Should you avoid any relations at all, it will take it upon itself to correct that.

    [The joke is!!! Kazuya and Akira were friends!!! Which means they're still friends, and he's welcome to absolutely flop on his very comfortable couch and become a greedy cat. Kazuya moves to the kitchen momentarily, to grab a snack for his guest.

    He'll toss him a chocolate granola bar that he's lifted from one of the shops downstairs in the galleria, aiming for it to land on his stomach.
    ]

    Anyway, welcome to the Golden Peacock. You escaped once, so here's hoping you manage to do it again. Hopefully this time you stick around long enough to tell us how you did it.

    ( ... must be the work of some kind of ghost.

    one that she thinks she recognizes, anyway. she's had invisible hands pushing at her in the casino and the other parts of this grand hotel and even the brute force of their interloping couldn't possibly compare to this subtle gravity, the way that the silence is almost companionable... until it isn't.

    something in the tone of his voice sets her at ease, and although robin has made it a point not to look anyone in the eye in case she gets recognized — force of habit, really, when universal fame won't look too kindly on a young star in this kind of setting (she doesn't have an onlyf*ns page unless sparkle had set one up in that odd interim) — it really is much too easy to tip her face up at this stranger to regard him properly. )


    I've only started today, sir.

    ( "more natural."

    she doesn't tell him, the natural thing to do here isn't something that either one of them seems naturally inclined to do at all. how odd for a man of his standing to have the kind of currency in spades to gamble it all in the games that she's seen so far, and still seem so withdrawn... all observations that she never voices out loud. )
    It's why my wings are so small, you see.

    ( like a private joke, her back straightening to flex her stationary wings, her face scrunching up with the kind of expression that sunday must've seen somewhere else, in another time, on a small stage that he'd decorated himself with paper cut-outs, fresh paint, and table cloth. )

    Do you think... if I'm really good and earn my keep...

    Perhaps I'll get even bigger ones, and I'll be able to fly out of here?

    Mmm, just a little longer...

    [Even if he hadn't spent the night drinking, the familiar face sharing the bed with Dan Heng is far from an early riser. Jing Yuan fights waking up, gathering the vidyadhara's abandoned blankets and curling further into them.

    He's just as naked, but aside from likely a brief flash of his thick, soft cock flops over his pale thighs as he rolls over, once he's curled up the most visible parts of the Arbiter General are his bare feet sticking out the bottom and the fluffed mane of white hair sticking from the top.

    The immortal draws in a deep, sleepy sigh, one hand freed to flop across Dan Heng's lap, fingers curling loosely over his hip.]

    [While Xiao Xingchen was more than willing to let the other man eat the food, it wouldn't make much sense to turn him down now, especially since:]

    Well... I suppose I am a bit hungry.

    [He reaches out, his fingers bumping into the bowl before tracing the surface to the bottom of it. When he feels the weight of it in his hand, he takes it carefully towards himself, his thumb lightly knocking into the spoon handle in the soup. Holding it in both hands, he turns towards the other man to give a soft smile.]

    Thank you.

    [The other man's manner certainly helps to put him more at ease. He doesn't sound familiar, however, and Xiao Xingchen can't gather if he's new to this place or not.

    Taking the spoon, he's about to have some of the congee. Though he's scarcely taken a sip of it before he has to get to the embarrassing question of why he's actually here.]


    Well, this sort of thing happens rather often here. But, um... I don't suppose you know where we are, right now?

    [ damn. she keeps up the scowl for a moment before letting it go with a defeated sigh. ]

    Well, I guess I'll figure something out in the meantime. Thanks for helping me look for it though -- if you can even call it that. But I appreciate it all the same.

    [ well, this prompt is tame enough. no room for petty revenge here. ishmael is going to get right into it, placing her hand on mona's thigh and gently sliding her fingers up and down, her palm coarse and rough to the touch. ]

    This doesn't seem bad, at least.

    [ a shrug. ]

    Call me Ishmael, by the way. I just got here.

    [ by rights, arlecchino is more suited to these things than clorinde is. she's been roped into many a ball and party, of course—the curse of being a title bearer—but she's always felt out of place. she isn't gifted in the art of doublespeak like wriothesley, nor is she as vivacious and chatty as navia; even arlecchino herself commands attention that is both intimidating and captivating in equal measure, otherworldly and mysterious. clorinde has always been content to observe, yet her time in the resort has only served to force her hand time and again.

    arlecchino sweeps her hair to the side to reveal the slender column of her throat, the sharp jawline and cheekbone; the delicate curve of her ear. clorinde leans over, lifting a hand to frame arlecchino's jaw with a light touch while her other rests on the other woman's knee. to anyone else, it'd look as if she were telling her a secret, the brush of her lips against her earlobe hidden by the fall of her hair.
    ]

    Nothing is ever as it seems, [ she murmurs, nipping at arlecchino's earlobe lightly. ] And they're always watching.

    [ no king please don't stop. her own hair can't wash by itself, you know. but ishmael being able to lug her wet mane's hair around like it's nothing is testament to her own strength, just shrugging off his praise before dipping both her arms back into the water. why he's thanking her for doing her utmost job of killing people for a living is beyond her, but she's rolling with it for now. ]

    Mhm. Everything here is... pretty new to me. Like the sex part, like I just mentioned.

    [ she huddles her knees close to her chest, her expression somber. ]

    Can't help but feel a little lost, but. Don't we all?

    [ except for this guy here, apparently. he fits like a glove. ]

    (to say that she might even thrive in the resort is something, arlecchino of all people who hardly seems the type. but she is good at adjusting, at adapting to her environment. as someone that often reaches deep in many subjects as a reason to study, learn more about a variety of things, it's only fitting. she stands out in her intimidation and her mysteries. attractive, yet with that sense of danger that would never leave her. a wicked woman, a lone devil. however, she was often of the thought that sitting out of the crowd suits herself perfect. observing others while also enjoying quiet fit for herself. taking time off the stage as others step on board before her.

    whatever happens, she will be fine. the knave knows that while those bottomless eyes fall on clorinde in her silence. the touch to her jaw, her knee as warm heat radiates from her strongly. not from her vision and from something more while she hums in approval. a soft sigh at the nip of clorinde's teeth being featherlight. that did catch her attention, was she meaning the house? arlecchino could presume that, from her questions being brushed aside, outside what information she can obtain.)


    Hmm, our mysterious "captors" are interesting.... (a whisper, low and deep. almost like purring from that look in her eye, how the red crosses almost glow.) Though I suppose I shouldn't expect otherwise, I had thought they must be. It seemed too convenient to only strip us of our weapons and visions alone.

    [ well she'd sure like to see w's attempt at being good, if it includes sticking a bomb in lappland's mouth even if it was a dud. and even if it really turned her on. ... on second thought maybe she was being good after all.

    anyway she'd sure felt how tight w was on her tongue and she could sure speculate how even much tighter her other hole might be but, not to worry, she'd go gentle! maybe. just maybe, if w might bite her tongue and ask her to slow down even with a big strap. or maybe crying would turn her on too much, because of course it would, begging and crying could do so much to gain favor with an unhinged beast. ]


    Use your words, cogliona. [ her voice a casual snarl as she secures w's tail in her grip, letting the spines of it pierce into her fist, coiling it in her grasp as if it were a leash. ] You sure were demanding that I beg for you after you marched me here like some prisoner. Not that I didn't like it! Isn't it nice to just submit to your better, just like this~

    [ maybe she does have an ego, on occasion. or maybe she has a bit of an upper hand after scraping the knife rather more ruthlessly in w's pussy than w did to her, though she'd treated her to that choking. she grinds hard and deliberate to w's cunt, rubbing her clit straight to... ah, she could sure fantasize of either w wetting her at least one more new and novel way in the future, or honestly she'd be far more inclined to do just that to her. she's a wolf after all. a lone wolf with no real territory, but just maybe she'd want to signal dominance and lift her leg over a devil.

    one more pinch, then her fingers go to slide against w's mouth, try to pry it open to take ahold of her tongue, her claws near threaten to pierce. she moves w further to the ground, practically in missionary with her firmly on top, a growl in her throat. a mating position if she might get her hands on a cock to fuck with, or even if she doesn't. she likes to fuck either way but, ]


    Let me guess, you're a size queen. You're the one who first brought up finding a big, girthy, massive... you want a nice fat wolf dick in you from me, volete questo dall'umile e dignitoso me. Say you do, say 'please knot me signora Lappland' and we'll spin that wheel for it.

    But in the meantime you'll have to cum on me like this first. [ with every wet and filthy thrust of her hips to push their clits together, or rather as she tries to fuck hers into w's hole as best she can. she'll mate women just as dirty as she can. ]

    Information, perhaps resources as a case by case situation if it's needed with additional help. Intimacy will be off the table as my preferences are not in men.

    (that's likely more a relief, arlecchino isn't lying. her preferences is and always would be in women, but she saw it best to clarify first. any physical aid, such tending to injuries, would be fine (though the knave doubts anything violent may happen) for the sake of preventing anything purely foolish happening. arlecchino is not a fool to consider that emotions can run high in an environment such as this, and that there are plenty of people that might push beyond their limitations. which means ensuring that they have some manner of failsafe in more desperate times is helpful.

    making a deal with the devil in a not-so-pale suit would be dangerous, but not as dangerous as it could be, knowing they are equals here. their titles are meaningless, and any crimes arlecchino performs would need to be judged another time. this being if neuvillette notices that she did anything as per her own usual.)


    Obviously I will offer to not perform any misdeeds as collateral without your permission were they to lean more towards....extremes, to put it lightly.

    (specifically, murder. they both know she's too willing to do that, even if the people that died by arlecchino's hand were often corrupt.)

    [ There ... appear to be monsters at the table, and nobody seems to be bothered by this. Who let this half man, half lion, half ... bird-like being with the three eyes into the casino? Kabru's knowledge of monsters is quite limited, but if he had to guess, this person was either a chimera like Falin, or a ...demon? Either way, with everything that Kabru has gone through, it's only natural that his emotions will run high at the sight of a monster. He hates them. More than anything in the world. He knows the horrid things they are capable of. Will this being be the same? J can talk, so that's different, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.

    [ He can feel his fight or flight response threatening to kick in, but beyond that flicker of uncertainty, Kabru hides his feelings beneath a smile, keen to assess the situation first. ]

    That's so harsh. Please go easy on me ... [ He doesn't have his sword or daggers on him, but he did swipe one of the forks from the dining tables. It probably won't protect him very well, but it's something.

    The dice lands on 'BITE LIPS'. That's right, they're playing a game of skinship right now, so he'll have to do this with a monster. What happens if he tries to stop the game? He will probably be penalised and he doesn't want that either.

    Well, here goes. He shifts closer to the demon. ]

    [ sometimes a continent can be considered as a city in other worlds. details, details. but they aren't here for geography, are they? no, they're doing truth and... more truth, and when matoba answers with his peculiar eyesight, ishmael can't help but take a closer look by leaning in a bit closer. she's entirely human with no special abilities (that aren't connected to her absent manager anyway), so she can't surmise any kind of energy coming from his eye, but --

    well, she is always curious. the guy seems very composed for someone who's so casual about sharing his sex life just now, and she wonders if she's going to end up just like that the more she stays here. hmm. ]


    Er, that's impressive and all, but why even cover it in the first place? Is it sensitive to other things that aren't just light?

    [ because he mentioned impressions and shadows and all. ]

    [When his back hits the mattress he chuckles, his hands moving to rest on her thighs, squeezing affectionately. He groans softly when she rolls her hips, unable to stop himself from not so subtly pushing his own up to meet that friction.

    Without the sheet in the way he rocks his hips up, biting his lower lip to slide his cock back and forth along her center. Rude can feel his heart beating loudly in his chest every time she moves, equally as fixated on the movements of her body as the expression on her face.]

    Yes, please. [He nods to the stranger kind enough to offer the coffee, reaching out both hands for it so he can take a long sip, then another.]

    Do you remember anything about last night? [His voice is rough still from just waking, but his tone is gentle.]

    [ to be fair, none of them were living in a world where they'd ever consider fucking each other. then again, ishmael doesn't really see herself fucking around with the other sinners either. she's too much of a hater, and apparently people still think that she's still attached to queequeg and the people who'd left her behind at sea.

    which isn't really false. ishmael won't be able to forget queequeg anytime soon, even with the loss of her headband. after all, her own hair is enough to serve as a reminder of what she should be doing right now instead of feeling sorry for herself like heathcliff here. doesn't help the fact that heath is almost as built as queequeg and have half as much scars as she did, but...

    she puts her mug of coffee back on the table, and just... nudges his shoulder with hers, like she's helping him snap out of his melancholy somehow. ]


    Aren't I what? Out with it. This isn't like you, Heathcliff. It's just me.

    [ just ishmael, the woman who he can't help but raise his voice and fists at in every opportunity. he shouldn't let their state of undress stop him from doing just that. ]

    [ meanwhile, ishmael's always played the part of the prey despite her bluster. from being emotionally manipulated by her captain to being a cog in the machine in a city that runs on literal human suffering, ishmael never gets a true break. even in this supposed resort she has to continue keeping her guard up in the midst of all the debauchery.

    and yet, when texas pulls away, she can see how red ishmael is in the face, almost matching the redness in her sunset hair, and the way she continues panting like she just ran a marathon. with the way her heart's been beating the entire time, she might as well be. ]


    I-I'm fine. Thanks.

    [ she clears her throat, opens her eyes to meet texas's. ]

    ...I didn't think there are any garages this large nearby.

    She huffed.]
