【 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!

    [ Of course his words bring a predictable blush to her cheeks. Yes, it wouldn't be the first time he'd done that but perhaps it would be the worst time the pair of them had such defined roles with one another, a planned dynamic that demanded nothing less than the Grim Reaper wrecking her-

    She doesn't rise to the bait, not quite yet. The redhead keeps her tone infuriatingly neutral as she responds, ]


    I think that would be the wisest course of action...

    [ Because if she has to play this game, has to be submissive, there is no one else in this lobby that she would rather play that role for. And after all... ]

    ...You're the one who gets to tell me what to do now, are you not?

    [ Her Dominant partner for the evening. God knows she had already seen others who had been gifted the dominant card going as far as showing zero hesitation in slapping a leash on their chosen partners... Apparently there are varying degrees to this. They would find out how far they both felt like going with it soon enough she thinks. ]

    sprinkling slugs with sea salt flakes just to be high class about it

    [The hair does make Senku stand out in a crowd. The outfit they put him in possibly, too, depending on how many people he's standing by who chose their own formalwear.

    He finally stops piling up his plate when the seafood is bracketed by chicken skewer support beams, a few vegetables fill the gaps, and the whole structure is topped by garlic knots. Huh, the rolls aren't even shaped like anything dirty. Not a single nipple or ballsack. This really is a classy affair.

    With his structure complete, Senku checks out Xingqiu's progress.
    He doesn't seem to be engaging in food architecture and has only gathered a reasonable amount on his plate.]


    Is that all you're getting? You can have some of mine if you want to try anything.

    The point is to have fun. Too bad it's someone else's idea of fun.

    [He can enjoy some of the games. They're interesting enough.
    But given a choice between playing something like Dirty Dice and being able to go about his life not at the party, he'll take the latter, thanks.]


    How long do you want to give it before we try to leave?

    Oh, don't worry. I'm certain I can find a way for you to repay the debt.

    [With a few more healthy bites, Rin finishes off her breakfast. It gets washed down with her drink, which she finishes as well. With a settled stomach and some more liquid in her, the headache is beginning to subside. Only bit by bit, though.]

    Besides, it's likely we'll have to rely on each other more than once.

    It's a pleasure and an honor helping one of the Nameless.

    Some things never change.

    [ He makes a statement and doesn't bother to explain it. Instead, he sets aside his half-eaten plate of food. ]

    I have a suite to find so I should probably go do that.
    keita: (horny | 001)

    [personal profile] keita 2025-02-21 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
    [ The tug of his teeth at his ear makes Keita shiver instinctually, his fingers pressing more firmly against the flesh of Midnight's lower back. The body against his is warm, stirring, and calls up an answering warmth in Keita that begins in the space just below his lungs and spreads its way downward, sweet as hot honey. ]

    Then there I'll be, [ he murmurs back, brushing a thumb over the forming goosebumps on Midnight's skin. Once again, Keita finds himself almost overwhelmed with how thoroughly he loves this man. ] I've spent so long making myself small—you make me want to fill all that room in your heart.

    [ Tilting his head back, Keita offers Midnight a warm, adoring smile—though not without desire, evidenced by the dark cast of his eyes—and then leans up to press their mouths together in a searching kiss.

    Behind them, the elevator dings to signal their arrival at the sevens floor, but Keita ignores it for a moment, until he's had his fill of the taste of Midnight's mouth. ]


    Let's start with the bath, [ Keita says when they pull apart. He relinquishes his grip on Midnight's waist in favor of a grip on his hand instead, lacing their fingers together once more so he can pull Midnight out of the elevator and down the hallway toward his room. ] And then, unless you lodge an objection now, I think I'd like to fuck you until you can't see straight.
    keita: (sheepish | 003)

    [personal profile] keita 2025-02-21 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
    [ It's becoming something of a ritual for them, Keita thinks—Seimei saying something silly and self-deprecating, and Keita smiling and reminding him that he finds Seimei absolutely wonderful regardless. There's a familiarity to the back-and-forth that sets him at ease, even if he does wish that Seimei would come to believe him one of these days. ]

    I can't imagine ever being afraid of you, [ he says in return, pinching the tip of Seimei's ear before letting his hand drop again. ] And being eaten by you would hardly be objectionable.

    [ It speaks to Keita's affection for Seimei, too, that he doesn't even look too abashed about saying something so openly erotic. Or at least he intended it to be so, although as ever, Keita's sense of the erotic is several decades behind most and he wouldn't be surprised if it didn't quite land.

    His thoughts are distracted from their conversation entirely when he feels the sensation of magical phantom hands caressing the sensitive skin below his waistcoat. The touch is a familiar one, very nearly just like Seimei's, and isn't alarming, but it does make it difficult for Keita to focus on their game. ]


    Is there a crown among the possible prizes?

    [ A wry question, before Keita pats Seimei's butt and moves forward to pull the roulette wheel for himself. It spins, clatters... and lands on a 2, for which Keita is offered the rousing prize of a bottle of chocolate syrup. He looks at it for a moment, then back up at Seimei with a furrow of disbelief between his brows. ]

    Are you meant to lick this off me, then?

    [There is no air in Charlie's lungs, so the sound that comes out of his throat - caught between a laugh and surprise - is a pathetic, strangled wheeze. His reaction inspires another laugh, this one only nominally less wretched than the first.

    His body stretches in disarray, shoulders pressing back into the much-desired pressure and head shaking to regain composure.

    He'd just meant to chuckle lightly at the guy's attachment to his bed!]
    -damn it! [At least he can still talk. Charlie can always talk.]

    Eh, thrones are overrated. [Thrones are a good way to get yourself killed. They're not debating the merit of becoming a king, there's no room in their comfortable little fantasy for concern. Everything here is a plush bed and a lively orphanage. Fairy tales.] I'd prefer to be a private investigator, too. What about you?

    Romance or bein' a nosy little shi- [Wait] prince? [The bit must go on.]

    [ Ah, Aak. Truly a man of simple ambitions. The straightforwardness of his response gets a laugh from Keita as he reaches out to tap the crop against the dangling ball of a gag from Aak's arms. ]

    Can you? And how exactly do you do that?

    [ In this particular instance, Aak's reputation hasn't preceded him—or at the very least, everything Keita knows about Aak and his ventures into pharmaceuticals comes from potential future knowledge, and in order to keep knowing, Keita has to ask the right questions.

    He shakes his head slightly, lifting his shoulders in a shrug. ]


    No one in mind in particular, no. Would you like to trade toys, or trade, er... [ How to put this delicately. ] Favors, as it were?

    Hehe, it is quite alright. It was an enjoyable game, wasn't it?

    For me, this was just a means of acquiring a little extra spending money. A new arrival is certainly in greater need of chips.

    no, she actually does drop the nefarious giggling. mona's expression softens, and then she slips out of her seat to rest her hand on ishmael's shoulder.

    [He listens very closely when she mentions suspicious people and events, trying to mentally retain the important information in case it comes in handy in the future.]

    I see. If I see him around, maybe I'll try to get him alone to answer some questions, you know?

    [Rude opens and closes his fist. Without his gloves his knuckles are a pinkish color from...regular use.] I'll make sure to be careful, though. I've seen the staff become very pushy when people don't follow their rules.

    [ He's enjoying it? She feels inclined to say that she'd like to revisit that statement in a few weeks time to see if he still fills that way but honestly, the read she's currently getting on him thus far is that he seems rather unflappable in that way...

    Not a good prospect for an opponent she wants to beat but hey, this won't be the most potentially embarrassing thing she's been put through in the year plus that she's been here. ]

    [ …Right. Filing away memory problems as a thing they’ll both need to explore later on.

    At least this time he’ll choose to be more careful with his words. Can’t risk letting his teasing be taken the wrong way again. ]


    Indeed. I do apologize for teasing you. Now, will you please come back to the bed?

    [ This bed of flowers is nice and all but she’s probably still going to be a lot more comfortable on the bed. ]

    I think you should be better safe than sorry, [ eiden murmurs this gently, a little suggestion, a mote of vulnerability he offers over: i'd like that. ] My hands tend to wander on their own... can't help it.

    [ the playfulness spreading over kaveh's lips feels like a sign that he's starting to relax, and if anything, eiden just wants him to have fun more than anything else. eyes colored like a splash of milk in dark tea meet kaveh's with an underlying, deep trust. with a little wink added to the end of it, he gently draws in kaveh closer with an ankle hooked behind his leg. cheeky. oops. ]

    [How frustrating.

    Half-truths. Nothing he can't understand when toeing that line of honesty, how much one might be willing to surrender to an individual of unknown confidence — but what is the reason to conceal something so minor, so negligible? Perhaps because of its personal nature. It suggests a look into Aventurine's life, those little intimacies that populate a routine committed every day. In that light, it's no wonder Aventurine would not tell him.

    He's silent at first. Truthfully, his head is starting to ache, although that has occurred in this place more often lately and may not be directly attributed to this moment.]


    It's still my turn, isn't it?

    [A game to its fullest potential. Will they be expected to continue on until he's as masterful at taking risks as the man across the table from him? He has no particular inclination for that. Rather, he's learned something new since last he saw this man — how to break rules.

    Sunday reaches out, selecting a card with gloved fingertips. It's a precarious spot near the foundation of the house. And before he's even pulled it loose of the structure, there's a trembling, a flutter — the cards are spilling to the table like weightless feathers. His Watch rings, notifying him of a large transfer of chips: all of Aventurine's and then some more, from his own meager supply. He doesn't look.]


    There. Now it's finished.

    A 2, [ he answers, without any hesitation or shame. there are few comforts afforded to those who dwell in the basement, and fewer still for the lowest ranked among them, but marco never had any major problem with his assignment. he finds it a far better option than if he were placed somewhere higher, with a wealth and renown he would not have known at all what to do with. his brief time as a king made that more than clear.

    when he turns and notices the way the other's eyes linger along his features, he chuffs out a light laugh. ]


    I don't think there's anything that can be done about it, [ he says, addressing the obvious elephant in the room. he's had many, many years to come to terms with that garish scar, so he only looks amused. ] Unless you have some kind of disguising ability?

    [ he has to imagine not, if the young man had already gone to such lengths with the costume and mascara... ]

    [this goddamn bastard- fuck, it's hard to keep his breathing measured when his lungs plunge both hands up behind his ribs and heave. pain and heat scour through his hips, combined with a really weird feeling pervading through everything. and aki's up there smirking down at him with damn amusement dripping out the corner of his voice. makes him want to kick a leg up and plant his heel in his stupid face. eyes drag down his tensing chest and flexing abs, blooming a hotter flush of pink down his neck from embarrassment and arousal. this bastard's looking at him, drinking in the sight with a gaze both studious and lewd.

    the only escape he's got is his leg pressed up between aki's own, noticing through the haze of his own sensations how the hunter tightens up. duh, what kind of guy likes the threat of getting kneed in the nuts? yet he's so damn warm, the way his thighs harden on either side of his knee, his balls drawing up slightly towards his perineum sliding the soft pouch along the top of his lower thigh. he deliberately eases his leg down, not enough to take away the pressure, but relinquishes enough to avoid threatening and trade for a slow nuzzle. all to earn himself the "reward" of that damn pink thing getting pushed further inside.]


    Ah- Shit! [stretching him open more, pressing his rim inward as it sticks and clings to the slick silicone nudging its way into his depths. wider, a few bumps of texture squelching a bit, rippling the puckered circle now stretched nigh smooth around its clashing color. he drops his head hard on the pillow, grinding it backwards into the material, teeth gritting hard enough to bare between his curled lips. god, it feels so strange. there's pain, there's fullness, there's a freezing sensation of being stabbed, until aki slowly eases it out and fucking hell the relief's intense. his leg sinks an full inch below the hunter's balls, heel skidding on the sheets between the other man's calves.]

    Shut up- [clipped, tight, and more breathless than he fucking wants. all because aki's pushing the damn thing back in. little more than nudging the head in and out of him, making his rim burn and stretch as he adjusts to the sensations. this would be a lot more humiliating if the guy had still been in his damn clothes. half of him can't believe he's got a damn boner over the strange feelings, but he's not an idiot. he knows how this works... and it's not horrible. ever so slowly starting to feel less painful. stretching him, massaging, the withdraws sing a low glow of pleasure compared to the tighter strain of penetration.] You want me to kick your teeth in?

    [hard to sound as threatening like this, cheeks flooded rouge, red eyes half-lidded under his bangs, fingers curling and twisting in the sheets on either side of his head as he works his leg up and down at the knee simply to keep some motion and alleviate the sensations. precum drips onto his stomach, leaking between his abs and making a pool in his navel, only for an occasional droplet to ooze out the side and down his oblique with enough hard breaths. a quick tug wrenches his hand from the sheet, and he reaches up across the space, fingertips finding aki's dick and deliberately running them over his hardened length. making sure the guy knows he's well aware of that damn interest.] I already told you... I can handle... anything you throw at me.

    [ Conspicuous as he might look, Lighter's return glance is shortlived, gleaning all he needs from the likewise simplicity of the other man's expression. His gaze turns to the sugary shine of his drink instead, made luminescent by the gaudy lights of the bar. His boss might not need him in the most basic sense of the word, but he can't help but think — what'll happen to her without him, the shadow that stalks the less savory threats always hot on her heels?

    He sighs.
    ]

    Four months is a long time. [ An observation that weighs slightly heavy in his throat, its implication sitting ill at ease with him. ] I'm guessing we're a lot more under lock and key than all the celebrating might suggest.

    [ He shakes his wrist with the watch cuffed to it, the timer still festively present. ]

    This one of the ways they guarantee your cooperation?

    [personal profile] flagrant 2025-02-21 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yeah, after the champagne, I hear you.

    [ Otherwise, the spread of desserts is more than Lighter would have thought to ask for himself and it shows on the lay of his expression, even momentarily. Sugar is a good buffer between him and his vices, but he rarely gets to indulge in anything so exquisitely crafted. A few misshapen, chipped candies are usually enough.

    But he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, so he plucks one of the donuts up and pops it into his mouth wholesale. It is, as he expects, near perfect. Chewing thoughtfully, he keeps a watchful eye on Sunday as he stands — thankfully without incident.
    ]

    Looks like you're free to go, if you want to part ways here. Thanks for the compensation. [ He tips another donut in his fingers as if he's toasting it. ] And —

    [ It actually comes more easily than his looks might suggest, his parting offer: ]

    If you're in trouble again, you can come find me.

    [ A year.

    That simple reality clatters around in his ears as if this man had dropped it on him, leaving him staring at the teacup in consideration of it as it starts to silence. His thoughts race, but he's not so easily overtaken, even if he feels his eyes start to ache.

    He blinks it away, upping the ante by taking four sugar cubes.
    ]

    I assume that means you've had plenty to keep busy with despite not having any hobbies. I've heard a little about how this place ropes you into its game.

    [ It's an expression he's seen any number of times, living in the ramshackle camaraderie of the desert where nothing sweet was ever guaranteed — pure bliss in the wake of an otherwise unattainable luxury. There's a comfort in it, like holding the shape of something he knows up to the light to trace its silhouette.

    Popping another chocolate in his mouth, he then sets the box aside and leans over to try and also get a look at her watch's face.
    ]

    Oh? Finally assigned after all that, huh? [ What a primer it was. ] Let see it. I haven't been on many of the floors yet, but if this really is some fancy resort, I can't imagine it'll be hard to find.

    [ Granted, their surroundings, for all the ways reality has seeped in after the last few hours, do seem amorphous and difficult to grasp in a meaningful way. ]
