TDM 008



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

It has recently come to our attention that many of our guests have not been focusing on their health and wellness. In an effort to encourage healthy living and help our beloved guests get in shape, a grand sports festival will be held in the Golden Peacock. This sports festival will include many small games and four large games.

Prior to the festival, guests will have the opportunity to train and prepare for the games with our expert coaches.

We hope you are as excited as we are! And, as always, we hope you enjoy your stay. 】



BEAK
MEET THE TEAM
WAKING UP IN THE BARRACK ► For the first time in months the Golden Peacock hasn't run into an overbooking issue. There's plenty of room for everyone inside of Beak's training barrack. This barrack is one large room lined with dozens of bunk beds and wall pods. Guests will wake to sleek concrete walls, polished metal accents, and raw, industrial finishes. All guests waking up inside the barrack will find that, instead of their usual clothes, they're wearing revealing athletic wear. Tight, elastic, sheer, mesh... those that aren't squeezed into crop tops and tiny shorts are dolled up in various sport uniforms instead.

► In antithesis to the Golden Peacock's usual belief that more is always more, Beak's training barrack is designed to focus on basic needs without luxury or excess. Each bed comes with a simple curtain for each bunk, offering basic privacy while also keeping the space functional. They will also be provided with cotton sheets, blankets, and pillows that are easy to maintain.

There's so much available room that current guests may also find themselves temporary moved into the barrack. During this time, their Watches will not connect to their room’s lock pads and they will not be able to enter their normal suite. Don't worry! Your possessions and room are safe. Access will be reinstated after sufficient team bonding.
HIT THE TRAINING FIELD ► The coaches will blow their whistles at 0600 hours every day. Be ready to wake up and get your gear on! Guests that don't make it out onto the field before roll call at 0615 hours will be the day's gophers. Gophers are guests tasked with cleaning up equipment, collecting balls from the fields, resetting obstacle courses, and getting water for other guests. Training ends at 1800 hours. Between 0615 and 1800, guests are expected to train in Beak and build their relationship as a team.

Guests may plan their own training schedule and work at their own pace. They have access to a variety of sports equipment and courts, so they can go wherever their heart leads them! Basketball, tennis, golf, soccer, running, swimming, batting cages — we've got it all! Don't miss the general fitness areas, either. Guests have access to every tool to reach their wellness goals.

► Meals in Beak are simple. All guests are entitled to three nutrition pouches per day. Nutrition pouches contain a jello-like substance designed to provide all the dietary requirements a human needs per meal. Snacks and desserts are given to VIP players. If those hard workers want to trade or sell those delicious temptations to other guests during their downtime, the coaches will look the other way.


♦ DIAMONDS GAME ♦
OMEGADOME: HUNTING GAME
A cheerful pair of game managers stand outside the conservatory doors and block all guests that try to enter. They quickly explain that a special Diamonds game is taking place inside and only guests that agree to participate may enter. This game is a physical exercise that riffs on "Hunting", which is a popular sport in many different countries and civilizations. Of course, it is one hundred percent safe, and all guests that play are eligible to win massive chip prizes, store vouchers, fabulous prizes, and more.

Details about the game? Those can't be shared outside of the conservatory. Only the brave and those willing to risks will reap the benefits of this Diamonds game. So step right up, dear guests, and sign this waiver before stepping into the flourishing beauty of the conservatory for a brand new adventure.
WELCOME TO THE OMEGADOME ► Guests that agree to participate in this Diamonds game and will be asked to sign a game waiver and, upon completion, will have the back of their hand stamped with a Diamond stamp. They will be advised that every round of the game lasts 24 hours. They will not be allowed to leave the dome until these 24 hours have been completed. Guests may enter a new round anytime after their previous round has ended. The more you play the more you can win, with all rounds cumulative when claiming rewards. Enticing, isn't it?

► Given their stamp, guests are then allowed to enter the conservatory. A massive dome now covers the entire conservatory, blocking all exits and pathways to the gardens and vale. The only way to leave is through the doors monitored by the game managers, who are also available for questions. The 24-hour countdown begins as soon as a guest crosses the threshold.

► The conservatory is blooming in verdant greens and pastel pinks. Cherry blossom trees are blossoming, streams are babbling, and the brush are thick with leafage. Guests will find that numerous small cabins have been installed amongst the flora for their use. Comfortably furnished patios and courtyards can also be found throughout the groves.
A MESSAGE TO PLAYER WATCHES

【 Welcome, new player! You have entered the OMEGADOME.

The OMEGADOME is a 24-hour high contact sex game that will indulge your physical senses on a whole new level.

The Diamond stamp you received will assess your body and select a designation within 30 minutes. This designation will alter your physical chemistry to heighten pleasure derived from sexual encounters. Three designations are available in the OMEGADOME.

Every sexual encounter in the OMEGADOME is worth 1 point. Collect as many points as you can. These points can be exchanged for chips and prizes.

Good luck and happy hunting! 】

DESIGNATIONSALPHA: The highest rank in the dominance hierarchy. Alphas may exhibit "dominant" behavior or have other temperamental quirks, such as aggression and possessiveness over their mates. Alphas may have a knot when in rut. Female alphas may temporarily grow a penis or their vulva may grow into one when they present. Both are able to “knot” themselves to their mates during intercourse when rutting. Alphas also have the ability to emit pheromones to dominate or subjugate others. The pheromone scent is unique to the alpha. They can mark both betas and omegas with their scent or through biting.

BETA: Subordinate to alphas in the dominance hierarchy. Betas have typical human anatomy, with none of the special attributes of alphas or omegas. They do not have a rut or heat period. Betas typically have no sense of pheromones and do not produce them. However, some betas may be able to smell pheromones and be mildly affected by them. They do not possess the ability to mark but can be marked by alphas and omegas. Betas may experience submissive impulses toward alphas and dominant impulses toward omegas.

OMEGA: The lowest rank in the dominance hierarchy. Omegas are the most fragile of the three designations, with frailer bodies compared to alphas and betas. They can go into heat, which may trigger desperation to be bred or mated. During their heat, omegas biologically produce a sweet scent to arouse alphas in order to breed. Male omegas may be self-lubricating. Omegas may have nesting impulses or become depressed when separated from their mate. They can mark both betas and alphas with their scent. Omegas can easily become pregnant, but while in the Omegadome, the Diamonds suit acts as a natural birth control.
GAME RULES & PRIZES ► Rules within the Omegadome are straightforward. Players are not allowed to kill or otherwise seriously injure one another while inside the conservatory. Guests may not leave the conservatory until their 24-hour round has ended. Guests are also asked not to destroy the conservatory grounds, if possible.

The goal of the OMEGADOME is to get fucking and collect points. Each time a guest has sex they collect a point. Point collection is based solely on frequency. Six points can be collected by fucking six different guests one time or fucking one guest six times. Otherwise, guests may freely enjoy the conservatory however they like during their stay in the dome.

► Guests may cash in their points for chip payouts, prizes, or vouchers. The more points a guest has to exchange, the better the selection of payouts and prizes.
DIAMONDS' INFLUENCE ► The Diamond stamp changes every guest that enters the Omegadome into an alpha, beta, or omega. Each guest is unique and the way that the Diamond stamp interacts with their body chemistry is similarly unique. No two alphas are the same. One alpha may have the full body experience and have manifested all of the qualities of an alpha while another may only experience ruts and emit pheromones. Guests that experience a stronger change are considered dominant. Guests with subtle changes are considered recessive.

The Diamond stamp allows Wildcards and other non-Diamond suit guests to enjoy any effects of the DIAMONDS SUIT. Many guests will find that, at baseline, they are aroused and more sensitive upon entering the Omegadome.

Guests that already fall under the Diamonds umbrella may find the strength of their usual suit symptoms doubled. They may also suffer from Double-Diamonds phenomenon. Reports of Double-Diamonds phenomenon include, but are not limited to: a frustrating degree of stamina; difficulty climaxing; excessive chafing and dry skin; erections that exceed 4 hours; swollen nipples; deflated scrotum; nosebleeds; excessive bodily fluids; etc.
♥ HEARTS GAME ♥
DOUBLES' THERMO: SURVIVAL GAME
Chickadees is sparing no expense on advertising their e-sport games over the course of the sports festival. Posters, notifications, stickers, fliers! Come one, come all. Sports don't need to be physical. Guests that duck into the arcade will find a variety of e-sport games to enjoy, but the real showstopper that every single employee is aggressively promoting is the new immersive VR game, DOUBLES' THERMO.

A large swath of egg-shaped pods have been installed in the back half of Chickadees. Any guest that shows an iota of interest will be assaulted by employees encouraging them to give it a try. They will offer vouchers for a free session, encourage with mentions of prizes that can be won from the arcade's coveted prize wall, and persuade by praising how high tech and immersive the experience is. Some employees are desperate enough to trick or push guests into the pods if they aren't willing to go in themselves.

However they've ended up inside the VR egg, guests will find themselves submerged in strange fluid as the lid closes. Everything fades away into darkness as the game loads...
WELCOME TO THERMO ISLAND! ► When they open their eyes again, guests will find themselves waking up on the shore of a remote island beach. This VR game is hyper-realistic, beyond what anything the Peacock has offered before, even compared to the VR in high rank suites. The sand is coarse, the sun is beating, and the flavor of salt is thick in the air. Thermo Island is a small island, uninhabited and overgrown with vegetation.

Guests will wake up on the beach wearing an outfit that has some kind of significance to them. While the Hearts suit leans toward positive associations, it might select an outfit that a guest has a negative association with. It may even load the guest with an appearance reflective of a different point in their life — be it past or future. Above all, this suit likes to elicit an emotional response.

► Other than lightly furnished huts that line the beach and spot through the jungle, this island offers none of the luxury provided by the Peacock. Guests are stranded on this island with no tools, food, or weapons. While it is completely virtual, guests still experience hunger and exhaustion as they normally would. And that sun? It's strong. Watch out for sunburn!
A MESSAGE TO PLAYER WATCHES

【 Welcome to DOUBLES' THERMO! You have been marooned on this remote island. In order to survive you must cook your own food, collect water, and survive with limited resources. Thermo Island is dangerous at night so please take care when the sun goes down.

Your mission is to leave this island. In order to leave, you must "double up" with another player by making a significant emotional connection with them. You will not be able to leave Thermo Island until you double up with another player.

DOUBLES' THERMO'S artificial intelligence will gauge emotional connections and notify guests when they have met the threshold for doubling up with another player. All of our guests in the Golden Peacock are unique; this threshold is dependent upon the individual. Both players must meet the emotional threshold before doubling up.

Good luck and enjoy surviving this little taste of paradise! 】

GAME RULES & PRIZESThe name of the game is to survive and make a mutual emotional connection with another guest in order to log off. After the initial welcome message is sent, guests are completely left to their own devices on the island. The only way to log off is to make that connection, so characters can end up spending virtual weeks or months on the island if they're not diligent in reaching out to their peers! If they do spend an extended amount of time on the island before making a connection, they'll find that only a few hours have passed back in the Peacock when they finally do log off.

► The emotional connection guests make do not have to be objectively significant. The connection need only be significant for them. However, the game does have a fail-safe function in case of a particularly helpless guest. If too much time passes it will automatically trigger the emotional connection notification with someone that they've worked to survive the island with. Surviving harsh conditions together naturally creates some kind of bond, right?

► Being able to log off can be considered a prize itself. After completing the game, guests may choose one of the fun prizes off of Chickadees' prize wall. Stuffies, erasers, finger traps, plastic toys, pencils... absolutely worth fighting for your life in VR!
HEARTS' INFLUENCE ► Hearts would never really leave its players alone. It knows that the guests of the Golden Peacock need a few extra shoves when it comes to matters of the heart. Another fail-safe programmed into the game, called Romantic Scenario Pusher, can be triggered at anytime.

► Romantic Scenario Pusher is exactly what it sounds like: the game's AI randomly creates a situation and throws a guest into it in hopes of forcing an emotional connection. The AI has no restraint and is not tied to moral compunctions, so it may end up pushing characters into dangerous or awkward situations. Giant spiders might suddenly appear and attack, twenty hungry lions could manifest out of nowhere, a random pit appearing in the ground where someone is walking... this AI is willing to do anything for the sake of emotional growth.

► Romantic Scenario Pusher can be triggered in rapid succession. There is no limit on how many times a guest might be victim to the AI's whims.
♣ CLUBS GAME ♣
QUACK AND COVER: SHOOTING GAME
Cloaca & Dagger has temporarily outfitted itself as a neon-bright paintball course. Gone are the wild sex setups in exchange for series of obstacles and obstructions for guests to navigate while in pursuit of paintball championship. This high intensity game of strategy and physical fitness promises to exhilarate! Welcome to Quack and Cover, a game where your shooting skills and ingenuity will be put to the test.

So say the game managers at the door before following up with a few disclaimers. Cloaca & Dagger is not responsible for any physical or psychological trauma guests may incur while inside. Guests that join the game will then be outfitted in tight black underarmor and supplied with a paintball gun and protective mask before being let loose on the course.
WELCOME TO QUACK AND COVERCloaca & Dagger offers a massive paintball course that spans across twelve different rooms. Every room has obstacles and blockades for guests to utilize, but there are also stretches of empty space that force shooters into the open to move locations. The club is dimly lit, offering both additional coverage and challenge for guests.

► Guests are given a few paint canisters at the beginning of the game. However, these canisters don’t last forever. In order to reload on paint during the game, guests will have to restock by heading to the pile of cans left in wide open sections of the course.

► The paint used in Quack and Cover is very unique. This spectral paint makes clothing vanish. A clean hit on a target’s shirt will make the shirt disappear. Splatter from the hit may or may not make additional pieces disappear too, depending on how much transfers. The spectral paint is otherwise completely harmless and has no special effects on anything except fabric/clothing.
A MESSAGE TO PLAYER WATCHES

【 Welcome to QUACK AND COVER, a paintball game designed to challenge both your body and mind. Unlike standard paintball, there are no teams in this game. QUACK AND COVER is every man for himself.

Your goal is to collect points. Every hit on another player is 1 point. The more points, the higher your ranking in QUACK AND COVER. The leaderboard can be monitored on screens provided on the wall in every room.

Our paint, SPECTRAL PAINT, is designed to eliminate an article of clothing with a clean hit to the corresponding piece. Any players that loses all of their clothing has lost the game and will be removed from the rankings. As long as a single sock remains on your body, you may continue playing.

Fully eliminating another player from the game adds 20 points to your score.

Go forth and take aim! 】

GAME RULES & PRIZESThe main goals of Quack and Cover are to rack up points and to eliminate other players. Each body hit earns 1 point. Elimination earns 20 points. Every room on the course has a large screen where points are calculated and rankings are updated in real-time. The more hits you get the higher your ranking on the board; eliminated guests will be dropped from the board completely.

As long as you have some article of clothing left on your body, you’re still in the game. The spectral paint will remove clothing, generally one piece at a time — unless a particularly good shot hits a seam and knocks out two. Guests stripped completely naked will receive an alert that they lost. They will then have to do the walk of shame off the course.

► The main prize of Quack and Cover is bragging rights. Guests that score highly will be paid out for winning and their picture will be forever enshrined in Cloaca & Dagger’s hall of fame.
CLUBS’ INFLUENCE ► Guests aren’t safe from the Clubs suit’s mischievous nature. Clubs will focus on two particular tricks that have proven to be very effective in the past: hallucinations and delusions.

► The first trick is based in hallucination. Guests may see a familiar person, someone they’ve loved or hated, in the midst of the course. No matter how hard they try to chase this figment, it will always manage to keep a safe distance and turn corners before it can be caught.

► The second trick is based in delusion. Guests may see another guest as someone they’ve loved or hated. Though their “loved/hated one” may be acting kind of strange, it definitely looks like them! From head to toe! It even sounds like them.

Guests perceived as someone else are not actually changed in any way. They’re still themselves; it’s all in the affected guest’s mind. However, telling that to the person with crazy eyes and a loaded paintball gun may not go so well… good luck!
♠ SPADES GAME ♠
PECKING ORDER: MMA GAME
During night hours, many long-standing guests make their way through Talon toward the gym’s creaky basement stairs. Three floors down and then through a desolate hallway with littered with abandoned equipment. Double doors wait at the end, unassuming until they’ve been opened…

Flashing lights, jeers, and the thick odor of sweat. You’ve found the Pecking Order, a late-night mixed martial arts event where guests show their prowess in the ring. Spectating guests shout and messily eat snacks on make-shift bleachers while fighters clash inches away, using only their bodies to fight for dominance and win. Pecking Order is very informal; guests only need to sign up in order to get added to the docket. Anyone can watch, though they will be vaguely warned at the door that even spectating comes with risks.
WELCOME TO THE PECKING ORDERThe basement level of Talon has been overtaken by fight fanatics. Everything in the Pecking Order is rudimentary, lacking the glitz and glam of the Golden Peacock. The ring is grimy and stained with blood. Cages are rusted. Gloves and tape are dingy. Even the seating for guests is lackluster, slapped together with old exercise equipment and boxes. Nobody cares about any of this because the Pecking Order is all about the love of battle.

Guests can either fight or spectate. Guests who enter to fight are randomly paired up with no consideration to size, age, or weight class. Those spectating are encouraged to bet on who they think will win. They’ve also somehow managed to make a “bar” where warm beer and greasy nuts are sold.

► Game runners consider fighters eligible to enter the ring as long as they’re conscious, no matter how battered and bloodied from previous fights. There is no official first aid at the Pecking Order. The closest they have is Creepy Jim, who carries around a box of bandages and strokes the muscles of his “patients” while patching them up.
A MESSAGE SCRAWLED ON THE CRAPPY BASEMENT WALL
PECKING ORDER RULES
1. Respect the strong
2. The strong get to do what they want
3. The weak belong to the strong
4. Cowards get out
5. No supernatural or magical shit
6. Match ends when someone yields or KO
7. Fights to the death OK
GAME RULES & PRIZES ► The rules of the Pecking Order can be referenced at any time from where they’re written on the wall. The group takes these rules very seriously. Those found breaking the rules will be thrown out.

All fighters must wear the provided wristband that blocks supernatural and magical abilities. The ring is all about physical strength with no additional fluff. Fighters are expected to go fist-to-fist without assistance from tools or magic. The wristband won’t impact passive supernatural/magical abilities.

As a prize, the winner of the match may take anything from the loser. This can be money, their clothes, their date, or even the loser themselves. Many fights end with the winner fucking the loser into the mat while the audience cheers.
SPADES’ INFLUENCE ► Thought you were safe in the audience? Think again. Spectators may be randomly picked out from the benches and thrown into the ring to fight. On the surface, there isn’t a clear reason why — but the game runners will be drawn to guests that have a taste for violence in their heart. Or, alternatively, they will select guests that they recognize as being too cowardly.

► Those that win multiple matches are considered strong. The strong may choose anyone from the audience to claim for themselves. They can do this at any time and as many times as they want. Anyone not considered strong is considered weak and the weak are not allowed to deny the strong anything.

► Those that do not submit to the strong will be dubbed cowards. They will be swarmed, tied up, and then strung from the rafters for the remainder of the night.


LOCKER ROOMS
YOU WASH MY BACK, I'LL WASH YOURS
Every training and game location has a door labeled LOCKER ROOM right outside the entrance. These doors all connect to the same massive locker room. The magic of these locker room doors goes one way. Trying to go back to the place you just were by backtracking will not work — you’ll just end up in Beak! All guests will be advised to finish their games before hitting the showers.

The Golden Peacock is proud to present our upgraded and extended locker room. Please come in and enjoy the facilities, catch-up with your teammates, and enjoy some healthy drinks provided by our favorite resort convenience store, Cock-a-doodle-doo’s!
AMENITIES TO ENJOYRAINFALL SHOWERS: High-pressure, overhead rainfall showerheads mimic the sensation of standing under a gentle cascade of rain, providing a soothing experience. Adjustable settings allow guests to switch between a relaxing rainfall effect and more intense water pressure for a revitalizing cleanse.

MASSAGE SHOWERS WITH JET OPTIONS: Showers equipped with various body jets positioned strategically to target different muscle groups. These jets can be customized to deliver a pulsating, massaging effect for tension relief, which is perfect for post-workout recovery.

STEAM ROOM: These rooms offer a gentle mist of soothing steam, with the added benefit of aromatherapy. Customizable essential oil dispensers release calming scents like eucalyptus, lavender, and citrus, turning the steam room into a rejuvenating sensory experience.

CEDAR SAUNA: A luxury cedar sauna that transforms the traditional sauna experience into an indulgent, spa-like retreat with a focus on relaxation and sophistication. Cedar wood, with its natural beauty and therapeutic properties, offers a rich, aromatic environment that is perfect for enhancing overall wellness.

GIANT SHARE JACUZZI: A high-tech pool that seamlessly blends relaxation, elegance, and advanced technology. This indulgent oasis provides a rejuvenating retreat after a workout, a soothing escape for relaxation, or a peaceful moment of reflection. Essential oils can be added to the water to enhance the experience.

astra yao 🎶 zenless zone zero 🎶 new

[personal profile] astraisborn 2025-03-16 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I. BEAK - Wake up in the morning feeling like--
[Not even the loudest alarm on her phone was loud enough to wake Astra up normally. Work always ran long, odd hours and intense schedules making breaks a thing to savor, and long nights like the previous night made it so that she had learned the art of being completely knocked out as soon as her head hits the pillow. Sure, this one doesn't feel nearly as soft or luxurious as the one she had back home, but sleep is sleep and it was a vice she will greedily consume. Besides, Evelyn would wake her up if she truly needed to wake up.

But even the deepest of sleepers would wake up when an unfamiliar sound penetrates their subconscious, and a sudden PHREEEEEEET of a whistle she's never heard of jostles her out of her dreams about Eous with such intensity that she jolts and screeches, flailing in panic as she gets tangled in the curtains temporarily and tumbles down the top bunk she was in.

And if you're the unlucky soul who was just standing there after waking up, well-- you're going down with her.]


BuGAAh??!?!

II. OMEGADOME - All of the boys and all of the girls wants to--
[The outfit was cute. It reminds her of one of the advertisements she modeled for, even if it was a little more impractical for sports than it should be. The meal was lackluster though for the intensity of the exercises, so Astra had decided to play by the rules of this strange place and see about ranking up. Since she couldn't contact anyone familiar, she could only do her best to keep her chin up and hope she finds answers soon.

The hunting game had been oddly mysterious, and while she wasn't much of a hunter, she figured that she could do her best in it. She was never one to back down from a challenge, after all! Besides, finding out about the rules later wasn't too different from variety shows with hidden instructions for the mystery. It made things more fun! Normally.

That was what she was thinking almost an hour ago. Now? She doesn't really think it's all that fun, not when her head was spinning with how hot her body feels, and a bulge that certain wasn't there earlier now tenting her skirt, hiding nothing for any onlookers. She's clutching onto the side of a tree with quivering legs and the pitifulness of a baby deer. A girl might need some help here.]


[Note: Astra is an Alpha for this event, and will temporarily have a dick. Open to all genders, but prefer 17+ for ages.]

III. Double's Thermo - I want your love love love, I want your love
[Finally! A break from the intensity of the dome. It was a lot to take in for her, and if Astra wasn't a professional, she might have handled it a lot less... well, professionally. It was a good thing perhaps that no one recognized her here, even if her pride took a hit at that. It won't look bad on Evelyn or her company or her friends. She doesn't have enough of those after all.

But this game seemed easy enough. Forming an emotional connection with someone was something she's always excited for, even if...the outfit she was given is far from ideal.She recognizes it, finds it disturbing that they managed to tailor fit it to her body now, that they even knew what dress it was.

Still, it wasn't going to stop her from trying her best. There was no point giving up so early.

So that means that a fellow wanderer might spot her making a determined beeline over to them, dressed in a simple white dress that seemed like it was designed for children rather than a full-grown adult, smiling confidently.]


Yoohoo! Are you busy? I'd like to have a little chat.

IV. Wildcard
[None of these working for you? Feel free to make your own prompt! You can PM me in this journal to toss ideas around.]

[Wriothesley is far more prepared for this after what happened with the Springtime game last year.

That, and he isn't as terribly afflicted this time around. He has no idea what this trope is at all, but it seems like being assigned Beta isn't too bad all things considered. It certainly is better than being labeled Omega after what happened when he was forced to become a rabbit.

Wriothesley is sitting up in a tree, looking down at the scenery. Higher vantage point means he can scout around a little more. Spotting Astra struggling though, he jumps down to approach her. He's still cautious, of course, but the way she was struggling felt genuine.
] Hey, you alright there? [He notes a scent, but it's not strong enough for him to be concerned at the moment.]

No offense, but you look like you aren't doing too well.

[personal profile] astraisborn 2025-03-16 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[If there was a silver lining here, it was that no one knew who 'Astra Yao' was. At least, from who she's met. Even if they did, most of them might think she's an imposter, which would not even be the first time she's been accused of that. While that doesn't make the situation better, at least rumors circulating about her acting like an animal in heat won't tarnish the record label nor Evelyn. She'd forgive Astra for it, soothe her and promise her things would be all right, but Astra would never want to disappoint fans by showing them this side of her.

Her legs are still quivering, her face flushed as she looks up to see an unfamiliar man who looked-- quite dangerous, honestly. She shies away from a bit, stumbling back because she feels vulnerable, out of control, and she didn't know him.]


I'm fine! I'll be on ma--aaaAAHck!!

[It scared her more than she wanted to admit, the way she doesn't feel like herself, that tripping over her own heels was all she could do as she yelps and crashes to the ground.]
armwriostle: (pic#17572791)

[personal profile] armwriostle 2025-03-16 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah, hey!

[Perhaps he might look intimidating, but she'll find that he isn't so different from Evelyn as far as being kind and wanting to help her. Wriothesley immediately moves forward to check if she sustained any injuries and to help her up carefully.]

Hey, I'm not going to do anything you don't want to do. Sorry if I scared you. I was just trying to get a higher vantage point. [The obvious tent is noted, but he doesn't mention it for the moment. He looks at her flushed and sweating face and his brows furrow just a little bit. Wriothesley couldn't smell her pheromones, so he can't say exactly what's happening, though it's obvious.

He reaches to press his palm to her face. It was cool against her warm skin.

[This is not the first appearance his old unit outfit has made at GP, but he sure would like it to be the last.

Playing arcade games had seemed preferable to getting all sweaty playing sports. Yet here he is, sweating anyway, since he's dressed in a stuffy three-piece suit while the sun beats down on his head. (To say nothing of how awful it was to be trapped inside that VR pod while it filled with a strange liquid. Never again is he letting THAT happen.) He's washed up on a beach, one that feels all too real, and the message on his watch sounds ominous. But first thing's first: he needs to shed some clothing, starting with the tailcoat. The coat, the vest, the gloves and the ruffled necktie—all of it gets chucked right onto the ground and strewn across the sand!

He's down to the white pants and the white button-down shirt when someone approaches, running his way along the sand. It's a woman who's equally clad in white, with long legs, a cheerful smile, and a request for a "little chat." Is he in pleasant chatty mood? Not really, but he can smile and oblige her anyway. As an idol, that's what he does! And given how this "game" supposedly works, she might just prove useful.
]

Nope, not at all! I just got here, as a matter of fact.

["Here" being the beach. Not the resort. He has been at the resort for far too long.

He finishes rolling up his sleeves to the elbows and places his hands on his hips, (respectfully) surveying her. It's not every day that he's approached by a woman who's around his same height, but that's hardly a big deal. There are stranger sights than her around. Compared to most people, she's positively blessed in the looks department. Just like he is!
]

And I just saw that message about "doubling up." Is that what you wanted to chat about?
astraisborn: (02)

me messing up her outfit from the get-go...

[personal profile] astraisborn 2025-03-16 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[The puffed up sleeves of her white inner shirt made her look younger probably, especially with the little black there that laid over it, but no one can deny her face is cute. She herself knows this, and it's why she can be confident that her good looks will win someone with equally good looks over. Her gut feeling tells her so.

It's a good thing that he's also a quick study. That makes it easier.]

That's me! ♪ [No shame.] I'd be more than happy to! Though I don't want to chop wood or hunt animals. That sort of rugged activity doesn't suit me at all. So as partners, let's try to achieve that "emotional connection" thing. The sooner we get that done, the sooner we get out of this heat! So!

[He smiles even brighter.]

Let's go for a long walk on the beach! We'll collect seashells, feel the sea breeze in our hair, and have a heart-to-heart chat~♪ That should be the sort of vibe they're looking for.

II | Feel free to have Astra get 'agressive', Aurelia won't resist.

[personal profile] aureliasharr 2025-03-16 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Marked as a beta, and with her body tingling in new and interesting ways, a part of Aurelia wants to simply slink into the shadows and wait the whole day out. Yet her curiosity claims her impulse control, and the needy whining that’s echoing through the words is too delicious for her to ignore.

Even if she hasn’t been marked as a dominant, she is yet a predator, and the intertwined pinks and greens painted across Astra’s aura are too intriguing to ignore. Such misery, such arousal, all blended together? She wants a taste.

So when Aurelia calls out to Astra, it’s with a small smile on her face and red eyes that show nothing of pity. Only curiosity and a hunger to sate it.]


That seems unpleasant. What’s going on?
astraisborn: (12)

thank you aurelia for sacrificing yourself to her

[personal profile] astraisborn 2025-03-17 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Is this what it feels like to be corrupted? Already, her body had strange changes, ones that she can only attribute to unnatural means. She hasn't been in the Hollows recently though, not with her busy schedule, and she was familiar with the feel of it to know this place isn't in it. Unless it was a mutation? She wished she could contact her friends about it, to ask their thoughts. They were the experts.

But there wasn't anything she could do at the moment. The girl in front of her had a strange look on her face, and while that would normally have her cautious at such a suspicious character, right now, her presence feels like being presented a grand meal with all her favorite treats. She's always enjoyed some spice in her life.

She does still have her wits about her, even if it was just barely.]


I-I'm not sure. My body just started feeling hot and--

[It's a subconscious thing, the way she moves forward, coming closer to Aurelia like she was in a trance.]

Is this... part of the game? Have you experienced this before?

[Was this normal?]
aureliasharr: (Default)

Re: thank you aurelia for sacrificing yourself to her

[personal profile] aureliasharr 2025-03-17 03:22 am (UTC)(link)

[Perhaps a more sensible woman would have backed away as the dazed Astra approaches her. Would have noticed the hungry, tranced out look in her eyes and understood that the other woman is not in full control of her actions… and that she might just prove dangerous.

Yet Aurelia does no such thing, staying her ground and watching Astra approach with a dazed look of her own. Her pupils dilated wide as she watches the other woman’s aura curl and reach towards her. She can practically smell it, like freshly baked bread, she wants to taste it nearly as bad as Astra wants her.]


No… No I haven’t. I’m new here. But…

[Is it cruel to toy with her? To offer suggestions that will only further push the other woman into a state where she’ll have nothing in mind but her feelings?

Maybe, but it’s not like she isn’t going through it right with her. Her body reacting to the other woman’s emotions like they’re her own.]


If you’re hot, you should shed some layers. Just to be safe.

( neuvillette's saving grace in this strange little exercise is that he rarely sleeps; despite the human form he was given, he is not human and thus not confined to the bulk of limitations that plague the mortal form. it means he is awake when the young woman topples out of her bunk, and alert enough to pull out of the way even as he pivots towards the source of the noise, head turning and then dipping to see—

oh. oh dear. he steps closer to the pile of cloth and limbs on the ground, dipping gracefully into a crouch next to her. )


Miss, are you alright?

( that looked like quite the tumble. )
astraisborn: (04)

[personal profile] astraisborn 2025-03-17 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ow... ow ow ow owie...

[At least she didn't break anything, just perhaps her pride taking a hit for the tumble. She rubs her neck, looking up at the-- very beautiful man looking down at her from his crouched position. Oh wow, if people had seen him, surely they'll mistake him for a moment.]

Oooh, that was so embarrassing. Please pretend you didn't see anything.

[She's normally able to be more graceful, but the situation was--

Wait, the situation.

She immediately tries to sit up, kicking at the curtain that was still wrapped around her leg to free herself, the mess that was her bedhead ignored in favor of scooting back a bit and looking around.]


Wait, where is this?
diuturna: (pic#17744970)

[personal profile] diuturna 2025-03-17 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
( he can only judge from her panicked reactions that this young woman is a newcomer to the resort, still getting her bearings in much the same way as he had all those weeks ago.

at least she hadn't woken up trapped in a car with little more to her name than a flimsy robe. small mercies.

the least he can do is answer her question to the fullest, his gaze following hers towards the the sound of the whistle outside, and the vast training fields awaiting them. in contrast to her, he remains composed, voice even like the surface of a still lake. )


I believe it is a ( one moment, he thinks he's heard this term before ) 'boot camp' of some sort. As for the location, you are currently a guest of the Golden Peacock resort. I'm afraid I cannot provide any additional details regarding the precise coordinates of the resort, but if you have any other questions I will do my best to answer.

( he deliberates a moment, then offers out one hand. does she perhaps....want to get up off the cold floor.....? )

[ Heat isn't really a problem for Lighter, desert creature extraordinaire. So the blazing sunlight beating down on the idyllic sands of the beach doesn't cause him too much distress, which is fantastic for him because everything else sure is a lot to take in. Lighter doesn't think he's ever seen so much water in his life, even counting Port Elpis. While Hollow Zero loomed on that horizon, here it's just... an endless swath of blue, sky and sea both. Unbroken by disaster.

Lighter stands to go crosseyed if he looks at it too long, so it's good that a distraction is trotting up to him. Or it would be, if the voice and face didn't cause him to go slightly slack-jawed in wonderment. Turning to face her, it's obvious he's sweaty on approach, the white of his button-up slightly translucent beneath dapper little suspenders. Implications of this outfit aside... man, why's it so wet here?
]

Uh, sure. But first... [ A long look, now that they're not sunglasses to sunglasses. ] ...you're — Astra Yao, correct?

astraisborn: (13)

That's not-- Oh!

[She had almost started with her usual denial, because that was pretty much her default reaction to random fans approaching her in the middle of the street when she was trying to be discreet. Except she sees his face and immediately recognizes him, beaming happily. Sure, she isn't close to him, but you know who is? Her good friends!]

The cute one of that group from the Outer Ring! You're... Mister Lighter, right?

[She had to pause for a while to recall that moment, but she's a professional, and more importantly, he was important to her friends. So he's temporarily important to her too.]

What are you doing here? Oh, don't tell me this really is a strange Hollow after all.

[He's not the only sweaty one here. Her dress was not appropriate at all for the weather, a white button up with puffy short sleeves, and a little black dress tossed over it. It looked more like the school uniform of a child, especially with the large ribbon on her head, but it was tailor-fitted for her. The sweat is drenching through it though, the second layer not at all helping.]

[It’s not been long since Loki found himself on the beach of the deserted island. He’s made his way to one of the huts that line the beach, in search of protection from the sun. He’s sitting on a fallen tree just out front of one of the cabins that he’s decided to take for himself and frowning at his hands.

Of all the things this place has done to him, somehow showing off his Jotun form is not one he thought they would touch. One day he will learn that there is nothing they won’t do.

He startles as he hears someone call out. Loki looks up, blinking in surprise, his red eyes flashing in the hot sun.]

[Was it practical? Absolutely not. But maybe he was cosplaying? Maybe he was a staff member? She doesn't know, but she wasn't really that much better off. The white button up was already stuffy in this weather, but the little black dress that went over it made it even hotter. Black clothes and sun do not mix well, especially with a heat this intense.]

Being the person assigned to the bed directly underneath Astra's, Jingyi just got up, stopping herself mid stretch to catch this falling star directly onto her arms. She didn't budge or fall down, feeling Astra being light as a feather, but Jingyi can't help but give Astra a simple, puzzled gaze. ]

[Being called light is certainly a lot better than being called heavy, even if it is impressive to hear given Astra isn't a small lady. Then again, she knows a lot of strong ladies now-- mostly acquaintances, one like a sister, but still!

There's no offense to be taken here. Instead, she's probably clinging onto her more because she hadn't expected solid ground to disappear underneath her earlier.]

[ The outfit is a choice, and not at all ideal for being stuck on the beach, but despite that between the bright "sunlight", and the realistic hint of sea salt hanging in the air, she isn't going to complain about being stuck here. Of course, it wouldn't be the House's nonsense if the message her watch lights up with didn't make Nami roll her eyes, but fine, emotional connection, whatever.

Until that happens she's busy assessing the situation, gathering firewood before she tugs off the opera glasses the wedding dress she's stuck in to use them as a means of tying up her bundle of kindling.

Just as she's ready to move on to finding a place to build a fire and find fresh water, a voice pipes up from behind her. With a quick glance over her shoulder, Nami can see it's nobody she knows, but she's never been the sort to leave another woman hanging.
]

If it's about the dress, I didn't really get a say. [ Lifting her bundle of firewood, Nami straightens up and turns properly to face Astra, meeting her eye with a curious lift of her eyebrows. ] What's on your mind?

[Did... she get left at the altar? Nearly marry a gangster? Lost her husband? She is so curious, but she won't pry unless Nami wants her to. It's not like she knew her yet, and you can't force a connection by making someone uncomfortable.]

If I can't ask, then I'll have to find a new thing to talk about. Like say... Maybe we can exchange names and go from there.

[Scott was staring up at a palm tree, mostly figuring out the best angle to blast down a few coconuts without annihilating said coconuts in the process when he hears Astra call out to him. Oh, shit, is the person he's supposed to make an emotional connection with?? And she's here already?? He wanted to present the person with a gift or whatever, because that's the best to way to start these sort of things, right?

He learned a lot from that otome game--

But it seems like a bad idea to ignore her, so Scott turns to face Astra with a small smile, one hand raising up in a small wave to greet her back. He's dressed in an outfit that actually matches the paradise setting, blue swim trunks, an open white shirt, and his regular sunglasses sitting across his eyes.]


We're supposed to be chatting, right?

[How lucky. She wanted a beach look too! No, she has a button up shirt with puffy sleeves, a black dress on top of it, and a giant ribbon in her hair. It looked more like a child's dress than an adult's, but she's working with what she had.

The way he had been staring up the tree hadn't been lost on her though.]


Uh-huh! Creating a bond of friendship on our first day! Isn't that cute?

Oh, but I wasn't bothering you, was I? You looked like you really wanted those coconuts.

[ Troy, being from a tropical country, is living his best life in this simulation. It's not just the familiar climate he's enjoying, but the beach is where his heart belongs after he established his new home on one back in his world. He's wearing a basketball jersey that's seen better days, with a pair of swim trunks and flip-flops to complete his "home" look. Troy is quick to get to work, knowing the lay of the land and the types of things that grow in them, making setting up camp an easy task.

While he's out walking alongside the waves with a makeshift fishing spear, Troy hears the sound of a friendly voice that made him stop. ]


Hmm? Oh-

[ He notices the dress, with a bit of a frown, a bit of a mismatch to the mature woman it's on. But he didn't let that face stay etched on his features as Astra got closer. He flashes her a smile and a nod. ]

Oi, what's up. I got some minor tasks but if it's company you want, I'm open to someone tagging along.

Exactly! Thanks for letting me join.

[She's not even going to pretend to be shy. Sure, her outfit could be better, but she struts towards him with full confidence, smile bright even as she deals with sand going into her shoes. She'd take them off, but it wasn't important right now.]

What's that for? Are you making a flag?

[It looks like some sort of lance, perhaps? Or maybe just a sharp stick. She doesn't know. She's never gone fishing with a spear before, not when they had fishing poles and limited places to go back home.]
