[goldmods]

【 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.

REFRESHMENTS

► WHAT 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 AFTERCARE

► The 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!

[redhairedturk]

I didn't make you drink anything you didn't want! ... I think. Wait ... What happened?

[His frown deepens, and there are too many things that need focus right now, for his hungover mind to decide on one.
Well, maybe on the most pressing matter a hand, no pun intended.]

Uuuuh,

[He shifts a little, feeling a little sore and he presses his lips together to a thin line.
Shit, did they really fuck? Did he finally get to climb this man like a tree and he doesn't even remember anything about it? Now THAT would be just typical.]

Iiiii guess? Or someone else, but ... [He looks around] well, no one else in here, it seems.
[A beat.]
You also don't remember anything then, huh?

[goons]

[Rude opens his mouth to protest, but he also has no recollection of last nights activities. He remembers a party, drinking, maybe some awkward attempts at socializing, more drinking.. Nothing out of the ordinary. The hangover is likely just from getting carried away, he decides eventually, but when he sits up he's reminded of how naked he is. As if to prove that, he pulls down the sheets to verify that his partner is also naked.]

I can't remember anything.

[He doesn't really ask permission as his eyes scan Reno for bruises or bite marks. Even turning him over onto his stomach and brushing his hair to one side. Rude's face heats up in response to the red spots on the back of his partner's neck, one on his hip, and another right under the curve of his ass. Without knowing how he knows, he thinks they were his doing.]

I..need to quit drinking.

[Rude pulls the sheet back up to cover Reno and looks around the room for clues, finding a hot breakfast and hang over package on the bedside table. He would get up to investigate further, but instead lies right back down and covers his face with his forearm, embarrassed that they finally did the thing and he has no idea whether he was any good or not.]

[redhairedturk]

[Reno tries to remember last night, but besides a few earlier experiences and moments, bright lights, gambling, drinks, lots of flirtatious people, he doesn't remember much after a certain pointdid they really drink that much that-]

Hey, watch it! What are you doing?!

[He is torn from trying to piece together the previous evening when Rude simply pulls down the blanket and stares at Reno's very naked form.]

Dude, at least as before you Stare lik- woah!

[He gets flipped over, face hitting the pillow, making him get a mouthful of cotton before he can turn his face to the side.]

What the fuck are ya doing, Rude?

[He holds his breath as Rude brushes the hairs from his back and keeps staring, before he feels the sheets covering him again.
He remains where he is for a moment, trying to ignore that it felt quite good to be flipped over and then be touched almost gently, but whatever Rude was looking for, he seems to have found it, or not.

Taking another deep breath to will his body back under control, he scrambles to his knees, keeping the blanket wrapped tightly around himself to cover himself up and hide anything compromising.]

Well, next time we take it slow on the whiskey, that's for sure.
...
[He chews on his thumbnail for a moment, eyes flickering over Rude.]

Are things gonna be weird between us from now on?

[goons]

Sorry. I wanted to be sure.

[And suddenly he wishes he hadn't checked. Knowing that they fooled around is one thing, and not knowing how or exactly what transpired is a whole separate issue on top of that. Rude rubs his face with his hands, mildly bothered by the stubble but he can't think about shaving at the moment.]

Next time?

[He groans again, turning over to lie face down against the pillow like if he prays hard enough he'll get swallowed up by the mattress and escape this entire situation. Rude pivots a bit from his disappointment to give Reno an accusatory stare for that last remark. Elena can never find out, or Rude will lose a very hefty bet.]

Don't make it weird.

[redhairedturk]

To be sure of what?

[He asks, wrapping the blanket closer around himself while he crouches there on the bed like a gremlin, torn between worrying about what happened last night and how to treat his blaring headache.
Also he is fucking thirsty.
..
And that maybe in more than one sense, as his eyes linger decidedly too long on those broad shoulders. So long even that he forgets for a moment that he was still chewing on his thumbnail.]

Ah, ya know, next time we go out for drinks, I mean.
And I'm not makin' it weird, I was just askin'. Just making sure that you're not gonna get all awkward on me, now that you've seen my dick.

[goons]

[Rude thinks about answering the question and can already feel heat spread over his skin. He keeps his face pressed into his pillow but his ears might turn a bit red as he thinks about all the things they might have done to each other last night.]

I was checking you for.. marks. Clues, I guess.

[His head is pounding so he has to get up to pour water for himself and Reno, taking the painkiller first in case it's unsafe, and then handing off the other one with the glass for his partner.]

Stop talking about it! And I've seen your dick before, for the record. I've seen all of you... [Or maybe he should have kept that to himself.]

[redhairedturk]

Marks...? Wait, did you give me a hickey?!

[Reno's hand snaps up to his neck, even though he is quite aware that he wouldn't be able to feel one, nor can he see, but what he does feel is a slight sting on the back of his neck, and what feels like ...]

Didya leave a bite mark on me? ... Wow, dude. Didn't know you had it in ya,

[Yeah, maybe he shouldn't be grinning like that at the idea that Rude sunk his teeth into his skin last night ... Fuck, he really wishes he would remember!]

Well yeah, you did, but not under these circumstances. Whatever they were,

[He shrugs and pops the pill without any hesitation, downing it with almost all of the water in the glass.]

Shit, I needed that.
So, uh .. [He curiously looks around]
Where are we? And any idea how we got here? I mean, the reason why at least seems obvious enough.

[goons]

[Rude looks horrified when he finally looks at Reno instead of answering the questions, but his expression likely gives himself away.]

Yeah, the times before this were accidental. [He mumbles, running his hand over the back of his head then falling to his side.]

I'm not sure where we are or how we got here. I woke up in this limo and saw Aerith, I thought it was a dream. Apparently its some kind of hotel and casino--one that we can't just leave.

[redhairedturk]

Yeah. I mean, there've been enough missions together, it's bound to happen at some point,

[He shrugs it off casually, yet he is still annoyed that he can't remember.]

Wait, what?! Aerith is here? In a casino? Wow .. that's something I didn't see coming.
But the hotel that's able to keep the two of us in still needs to be built, right partner?

[He winks at Rude, then suddenly ... He tilts his head.]

Hey, since you've seen mine, how 'bout you show me yours?

[goons]

And your significant lack of modesty.

[Rude adds, just to tack on to his small running list of grievances with his partner. For reasons he won't talk about he'd rather not have to see Reno naked then have to work with him normally.]

I think she was taken here because she also didn't know how she got there.

[Aerith is a far safer topic for discussion than what Reno pivots to, causing Rude's heart to race again. He rubs his face with his hands, lingering on his stubble as he considers how bad of an idea it is.]

Fine, but don't be weird. [This whole thing is already weird, though. So he pulls back the sheets, moving his thighs just a little further apart like that might distract from the fact that he's half hard and has a barbell piercing through the head of his dick.]

[redhairedturk]

Oh please. I'm just a firm believer that underwear's entirely overrated for sleep, 'specially in summer.

[He shrugs, failing to see the problem with the ordeal. After all, Reno is quite proud of his entire body, so why hide it?]

Okay, so we gotta figure out who brought us here and why. Cause as much as I like a good party, I'd still like to know who's hosting.

And dude, when have I ever made it weird, yo?

[It's basically his way of saying that he's weird all the time, but it's the kind of weird that his partner has hopefully come to expect at this point.]

I mean I would nev-

[The words die in his throat as he sees Rude in all his glory.]

Fuck. And I thought I was hung, but you? And that piercing?!

[Yeah, he's entirely too excited and without noticing even licks his lips as he stares, the blanket dropping from around his shoulders and revealing that he is in quite a similar state of half hardness, still from when Rude had handled him earlier.
Maybe he should ask himself why Rude is also showing signs of arousal, but he is still too focused on the cock overall and that shiny piece of metal.]

[goons]

[Rude nods in agreement with Reno as far as finding out the details about how they all got here, and why. It'll give him something to focus on until they find a way to return--with Aerith, or Tseng would not be pleased.]

You're making it weird now..

[He stops again when he notices his partner licking his lips, groaning in protest when the commentary comes in. Deep down though? The slightest surge of pride that Reno approves of what he's seeing, but he buries it deep so it won't see the light of day or give him false hopes--distractions.]

Now we're even. [Rude covers himself back up and settles into an awkward silence. Yeah, it's definitely going to be weird now.]

[redhairedturk]

Waitwaitwaitwait, how did I make it weird now, I didn't even do anything but to compliment my bro here, okay?

[And he quickly pulls the sheet back over himself, covering at least his crotch for some decency. Not that he has any, but Rude seems to be set on pretending. So he'll play along and behave.]

Seriously though, when did you get that piercing? Did it hurt? Are there any more that I haven't seen just yet?

[He tugs on Rude's sheet again to pull it down a bit more, wanting to see if there are maybe nipple piercings he doesn't know about yet. For some reason, after this, he can totally see Rude sporting them.]

[goons]

You're complimenting me on my...

[Rude just shakes his head. Having to say it out loud just makes him realize how ridiculous it is for them to be debating that in the first place. Reno is definitely just trying to fluster him--he doesn't know why it always gets to him this much.]

A few years back. It did hurt for a little while. No there aren't any more that I'm hiding from you--Reno!

[He grabs his partner by the wrist, bending it a little at an awkward angle to wrestle him into submission. It's like muscle memory from when they used to spar like this, and it happens so fast that he forgets that he's naked as he's pinning the redhead down. Oops.]

[redhairedturk]

Hey, what's wrong about that? Shouldn't we be able to do that?

[Seriously, Rude can be so upright at times, it causes Reno to roll his eyes.]

All I'm sayin' is that you would totally rock a pair of nipple pier-iiiiiaaah!

[Reno didn't see it coming, and he's too hungover for his Turk training and instincts to kick in, so he finds himself once again pressed into the mattress by Rude.
All air gets pressed out of his lungs for a second and the feel of that weight above him makes Reno squirm ... Fuck, he is getting hard from this, causing heat to rise in his cheeks for once.
NOW things might be getting awkward ..!]

[goons]

[Rude is hard due to their positions at the moment, frustration flushing his cheeks because Reno is always like this. Full throttle, no breaks. It's his fault for getting under his skin in ways no one else can manage. Everyone else gets the cool calm and collected turk, but Reno gets these moments.]

If I got them pierced you would notice. Everyone would notice.

[And that's not something he'd want to make a topic of conversation in the office ever. The thought is mortifying, and he squeezes his hands around Reno's forearms as he looks down at him, blushing.]

Don't make that face.. [Maybe it's his heart racing or their closeness, but Rude suddenly gets the urge to kiss his partner, and only then does he let go of him, slowly getting up.]

[redhairedturk]

I doubt everyone would notice, it's not like you put your tits on display for everyone to see ..

[Not like Reno does at least, and under the shirt and jacket, he doubts even Tseng would notice. Or pay enough attention, for that matter.
But Reno might find himself looking more than once over to that broad chest of his partner, the very one that's hovering over him right now, and yes, his eyes go from staring wide at Rude's face down to his chest and then .. to his partner's lips, and for a second he thinks that Rude might lean in, his grip on Reno tightening, causing a small moan to escape... But then Rude lets go, and Reno isn't sure if he's relieved or disappointed.
But damn, he is horny right now ...
And one look at Rude confirms that he is not the only one.]

You're into this.

[goons]

You would notice if my shirt was too tight one day and you'd tell everyone.

[Not that he's trying to be extremely specific since both routes end up with the same solution. It's pointless to argue with Reno. He already knows this, and even when he "wins" he doesn't win. For example, having pinned his partner down, he's stuck with an erection that he has to divert effort into hiding instead of whatever it was they were talking about before.

He doesn't even remember.]

They must have put something in the.. hangover stuff.. [He's reaching for an excuse right now, but can't quite grasp a good one.] It's fine. We had sex. No big deal. [Even he doesn't believe the words coming out of his own mouth.]

[redhairedturk]

[Well, Rude is right that Reno would definitely notice one day, but he's not sure if he would tell everyone. He would definitely asking for Rude to show them though, but probably in a more private moment.
However, since it's not the case, it's a pointless discussion anyway. Unless of course he has now put an idea in his partner's head.

Reno wants to object and say something, call out Rude on his bullshit, but somehow the words linger with him, and Reno presses his lips together.
No big deal.
Okay. If that's what Rude thinks. Then that's how Reno will handle it from here on out. Just like any other of his escapades.]

Yeah. If it's no big deal, then we can do it again, right?

[Oh, his turquoise eyes stare right into Rude's soul and the way the is no humor in his voice whatsoever should set off all of Rude's alarm bells.]

[goons]

[Rude looks at Reno for a long while, meeting his stare and daring him to push the issue. He has an endless mental list of ways to force his partner into submission if pushed, but the problem is that he's sure he'd like it.]

No! Definitely not.

[The longer he thinks about it, the more certain he is that trying to recreate the previous night will be a bad idea. Even if he constantly wants to be balls deep in his partner, there's no way he wants Reno to see how awkward and inexperienced he actually is. So, to save face, he'll take the blue balls for the morning.]

We have to focus on figuring out how we got here, and.. where the hell my clothes are. [~a distraction~]

[redhairedturk]

[Reno raises his eyebrow while he is waiting for Rude's answer, almost able to see the gears turning in his partner's head.
But of course he is too chicken.
Seriously, if people outside of the Turks, outside of Reno himself rather, would know how awkward Rude can be at times, his whole reputation as being the Turks' goon [ehem] would be gone in an instant.]

Right. And why not?

[He asks casually while watching Rude pretend to search for his clothes.]

They are gone. It's either the gaudy robes or the itchy suits.

[He would ask what type of robe Rude found himself in here upon arrival, but his focus is still on getting an answer to another question.]

[goons]

[Rude looks at Reno like he's pleading for him to stop trying to go down this path of questioning, but the redhead doesn't stop. Of course he doesn't. So his gaze moves around to room to literally anything else.]

Why do you want to do it again? Why do you want to do it with me in the first place?

[He has no idea what Reno is going to say, but he's already getting worked up that he might hate the answer.]

What if I'm shit at sex? What if I'm an awful lay? It would be a waste of time.

[redhairedturk]

Why wouldn't I want to-

[Rude doesn't let him finish and instead throws more definitely ridiculous thing around, that make Reno just shake his head.]

Yeah, right. Cause someone who gets their dick pierced must be a horrible lay. And if the state o' my ass is anything to go by, then it definitely wasn't horrible?!

[He shrugs, getting worked up over this himself, even though he doesn't really know why.]

Excuse me for at least wantin' to remember it if we fucked, or get a chance to at least remember it. You're fucking hot, so why wouldn't I want to do it again, huh?

[Oh, he is glaring, his voice raising.]

If you don't wanna fuck me again, fine. But then just say so and don't give any stupid excuses!

[goons]

Anyone can be a horrible lay, Reno. And I'm sorry about your ass.

[Rude starts to get louder too as they go back and forth, but eventually he's the one to back down, just listening to Reno pop off instead, eyes closed like he's trying hard not to lose it.

It works for all of 4 seconds with Reno. Only his partner could possibly get him to explode.]

FINE! I don't want to fuck you again. Because you might hate it, and then I'll have to live with that first impression for the rest of our lives. So let's just not, okay? [There it is. The truth. The ugly truth.]

[redhairedturk]

I've had horrible lays before, and I didn't wake up with bite marks and a sore ass after those!
And don't ya dare apologize for that?!

[He doesn't want to fight with Rude. He HATES fighting with Rude, and it's something that almost never happens, but here they are, yelling at each other while still being butt naked and mostly hard.
Really, it would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic?]

Oh, okay, so it's 'cause your ego can't take it, so we're instead stuck with a fuck we don't remember, cause that's so much better!
Ya know what, I hope I will remember after this splittin' headache's gone and then I'll tell ya all about it in great detail!
[He already wants to get up and storm out, but he's already at it, so he also adds]
Doubt I even could hate it, but fine, be a pussy 'bout it, why don't ya!
