[goldmods]

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

We are pleased to announce that several films have begun production in the resort! All guests are encouraged to participate as actors and crew during this time. Two highly anticipated blockbusters are part of the filming block and will have an opening night premiere at the newly renovated Hatchbox Theater.

We would also like to extend a gentle warning to all actors. New tabloids and journalists have snuck into the Peacock alongside production, so please be cautious of aggressive reporters. We would hate to see our beloved guests embroiled in public scandal.

Please look forward to your debut on the silver screen and all of the new artistic content soon available for your viewing pleasure! 】

HONEYWAGONS

A STAR'S WELCOME

WELCOME TO THE LOT

► All of these new stars are being welcomed to the Peacock in style. The Nest, the resort's premier massive shopping complex, is now lined with dozens upon dozens of trailers, each with a glittering gold star on the door. While unassuming on the outside, the inside of these honeywagons are pockets of luxury in tiny square footage. The catch? Why, characters are stuffed up to 4 in a trailer, of course. We're sure you'll figure something out.

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are a mixed bag of gaudy glitz and old money velvet, reflecting the dual faces of Hollywood. Whether you're sporting some classic luxury with a pipe or draped in cheetah faux fur, these robes are skimpy, potentially giving a raunchy photoshoot to those pesky paparazzi!

► Existing characters are welcome to take up residence in any empty slots in these honeywagons. Just because you're not the newest ingenue on the block doesn't mean you're forgotten. Besides, we need you experienced actors close to set for quick costume changes and touch-ups. No need to ask to be moved! It’s all taken care of already.

HIRED HENS

► Several security guards have been newly hired to protect the actors from paparazzi and potential threats. These burly cocos and hens all have three things in common: tight black suits, rippling muscles, and owl heads. These heads aren't just for show; this elite group of guards can swivel their heads 360 degrees to provide the utmost level of surveillance.

► Unfortunately for actors, these owls are both nocturnal and way too into their jobs. They particularly like doing rounds during night hours and staring into the windows of the honeywagons to watch the actors sleep. Some owls will creep into the trailers to watch over their charges by sitting at their bedsides. An owl may be there, staring, where you least expect it. However, their diligence may not necessarily be a bad thing!

► Alongside owl security, actors may find themselves bombarded by paparazzi. These photo-hungry tabloid journalists are all after shots that will fetch a high price, willing to do anything for a scoop. The majority of these new paparazzi, in contrast to owl security, have hummingbird heads. They're just as quick too, zooming in and out of both backstage and the sets in search of a scandal.

► Be careful, because hummingbirds aren't the only paparazzi. That's right — guests, new or existing, may find themselves scouted to play ball with the tabloids. They may not be as obvious as those aggressive hummingbird reporters; some may even be working undercover in search of a scandal to sell to the highest bidder. All actors are at risk of embarrassing or defamatory photos being published in resort magazines or posted to the bulletin boards.

ROLE REGISTER

► What better way to get to know your colleagues than to check out their resume? All guests will have access to the actor registry, which provides an overview of actors and basic information about them.

► The registry, with the help of the Golden Peacock's AI, can also flag complementary resumes. An actor that may have good chemistry, match the requirements for a particular scene, or has unique experience relevant to an upcoming job may reappear at the top of the search several times.

► Actors can communicate through the registry. There is a general messaging board where everyone can see what is posted and personal inboxes for private correspondence with an actor. Actors are encouraged to collaberate because many of the scenes in the available movie projects involve intimacy.

COSTUME DEPARTMENT

GET INTO CHARACTER

PICK OUT YOUR DUDS

► The trendy clothing boutiques of The Nest have been transformed. The walls between these small stores have vanished to create a vast costume warehouse divided by department, seemingly overnight. Actors may freely browse the racks to select suitable costumes for the roles they've been cast. The directors aren't picky about how their actors dress as long as it suits the part, allowing guests creative freedom as part of the process.

► Actors that choose costumes that are extremely unsuitable for their roles will be forced to change into something chosen by costuming staff. These mandated costumes will be on theme but will always be slutty, sexy, and enhance an actor's unique "assets". An actor blessed with a bountiful bosom may find themselves wearing a tight little lace bra while an actor with a thick ass may end up in assless chaps. It's all about giving the people what they want, you know?

► All articles in the warehouse run the risk of being possessed. There are no clear-cut signs as to which pieces are cursed and which are not before putting something on. Possessed costumes come in two flavors: Type A and Type B.

Type A possessions are straightforward. The actor wearing a Type A costume cannot remove it alone — they will find that no matter how many times they grab a button or tug on that zipper tab, nothing will unfasten. Someone else must remove the costume for them. Good thing there are a bunch of changing rooms just big enough to fit two people inside around, huh?

Type B possessions are unique. The actor wearing the costume will begin to feel influenced by it. They may feel inspired or compelled to act out the role it embodies. This possession will not be satisfied until some level of resonance between actor and role is achieved. While the possession isn't satisfied the costume cannot be removed. But hey, you're an actor headed to set, so surely this is only gravy for your performance!

DOLLED UP

► Done getting into costume? Head over to hair and makeup! After all, clothes are only half the battle. Whether you need to get glammed up or slapped into some monster makeup, the makeup artists are here to help. Mostly. Actually, they're super understaffed, and there aren't enough makeup artists to meet demand. Though they hate to ask, could you guys potentially help each other get ready?

► Actors confident in their makeup and hair styling skills (or just confident) will be allowed to use any tools to help get their fellow actors ready. However, any actors kind enough to jump in and assist will be warned that many of these products are made at home in the Golden Peacock. If not used with discretion, they can potentially make the actor being worked on ... extremely horny! Like a game of Russian roulette, one in five of all beauty products are created with aphrodisiacs. Ironically, this isn't even for the sake of getting guests into the Game 52 spirit — their supplies are just like that.

► Fill-in artists shouldn't fret too much. The majority of those products only have aphrodisiacs in minuscule amounts. When applied carefully they typically cause minor arousal or sensitivity. Artists that spray and paint with reckless abandon, however, may find a new problem on their hands!

GRAB A GIG

FIND YOUR BIG BREAK

GETTING TO SET

► The Golden Peacock is buzzing with excitement for two big blockbusters that are currently in production: LORD OF THE WINGS and STAR WARBLERS. Both of these films come from movie franchises that are adored resort-wide for their iconic blend of story, romance, porn, and action.

► Directors will be filming dozens of scenes with different actors in lead and supporting roles. Actors are given creative freedom on how to approach their roles, with barebones scripts that offer a general idea of where the scene should go and some spicy lines here and there. One actor’s take on a role may be different than another’s.

For example, three different actors portraying the Dragon Lord in Lord of the Wings may take their portrayals three different ways. A lonely Dragon Lord, a villainous Dragon Lord, and a misunderstood Dragon Lord are all fair game. Supporting characters such as the elves and faeries the warriors meet during their travels are completely free game within the bounds of “elf” and “fairy” in classic movie tropes.

► Two new floors have appeared in the ever-changing Peacock, each dedicated to one of the films, due to their massive and comprehensive sets. Guests will discover two new buttons on every elevator’s operating panel. Actors and fans are invited to enjoy these sets even when the camera isn’t rolling — this blend of high-tech VR and real world elements comes at a very high budget, so guests are encouraged get their fill while they’re available!

INDIE HITS

► In addition to the two massive blockbusters, several spin-off series and porn shorts currently casting and underway. The directors of these major motion pictures have kindly permitted the filming of smaller projects using these unique movie sets when they aren’t already in use. Smalltime directors and film enthusiasts are eagerly pitching their porn scripts in hopes that they’ll get made!

► Several smaller sets can be found around the Peacock for these homegrown productions. While some scripts utilize locations that can already be found in the Peacock, other long-standing guests have pooled their money together to establish a handful of sets not already available in the resort. These sets are open for use at any time.

► Unlike the large production crews of Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers, these smaller porn projects do not have a big budget for staff. Some projects utilize AI and drones to film, so actors that are shy about getting down and dirty around a physical cameraman need not worry! Both the producers and the Golden Peacock staff want their stars to be as comfortable as possible to fully enjoy the experience.

SPIN THE WHEEL

► It wouldn’t be the Golden Peacock if there weren’t some kind of game-like twist! While actors are encouraged to go out for any roles or films they find interesting, those looking to win large and extra-large chip payments can spin the fetish wheel to up the ante. Actors that spin the fetish wheel must incorporate what the ticker lands on into their next role.

► Can’t manage to work it into your scene? Those that fail their fetish task will find a huge chip deduction from their bank account and a punishment waiting for them. Any actors that fail the game must dress up in sexy costumes and go around the Golden Peacock handing out fliers for the premiere of Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers, with strict instructions to dance sexily for anyone that accepts a flier. Hey, the directors have spent tons of money on these movies, they’ll take free advertising however they can get it.

► SPIN THE WHEEL HERE!

LORD OF THE WINGS

AN EPIC (AND SEXY) JOURNEY

【 Once upon a time, in a magical land far, far away...

The Lord of the Wings, a massive dragon with no equal, demanded a bride tribute from all of the kingdoms across the continent. Every month each province was required to send their most beautiful men and women to become the dragon's next bride(s). Ever greedy, the dragon was not satisfied with having one bride. Not with twelve brides, nor two hundred brides. The dragon always demanded more. The number of hot people around to bang dwindled. Things were looking grim.

Soon, a group of brave warriors gathered to travel the lands and slay this dragon. They enjoyed adventures of fucking their way through sirens, fucking their way though the faeries, and fucking their way through the mage school and beastmen tribes. They reached the dragon's crystal lair where the dragon, who took beautiful humanoid form, approached them.

The dragon promised that if any warrior could satisfy them sexually, they would return all of the brides to their homes. Each warrior took a turn trying to satisfy the dragon — but only with their efforts combined in one massive orgy was the dragon finally satisfied.

All of the brides were released and the warriors moved into the crystal lair to live a loving polyamorous relationship with the dragon. All was well. The end. 】

A FANTASTICAL SET

► Guests taking the elevator to the new floor labeled 'LORD OF THE WINGS SET' will are greeted with a cool, damp breeze as soon as the doors open. Unlike any other area of the resort, this set evokes a very real sensation of stepping out onto the earth to embrace snowcapped mountains, lush forests, and wide-open sky. The size of this set is massive with different climates depending upon where filming is happening. Towns, villages, and tribes can also be found.

► The set is teeming with background actors that have been instructed to stay in character at all times. Actors may encounter both friend and foe while exploring the set, regardless of whether or not the cameras are rolling. Lord of the Wings features a wide range of character types ranging from humans and elves to monsters and beasts.

► Key locations in The Lord of the Wings are: human villages; siren's cove; fairy's forest; Beastmen wilds; Elven mountains; and the dragon's crystal lair. But these are not the only locations in the set! Actors will find a fantastical range of areas to explore and enjoy.

MAGICAL DANGERS

When it comes to movie magic, the Golden Peacock is more magic than movie! While sets are generally safe and violence is simulated, there are elements of the film that can affect actors for real. If guests aren't careful, they may really find themselves in a sticky situation and need a clever Hollywood way to get out of it. Or maybe they'll need to live out a classic trope for real.

► LIEBERRIES: Found in the Elven mountains. Delicious but cursed: you can only lie for 20 minutes after consumption. Beware misunderstandings!

► SNUGGLEBLOSSOMS: Found in the Fairy forest. These charming blossoms produce an immense amount of pollen. Breathing in snuggleblossom pollen is lethal. The only cure is to fuck within two hours of inhaling.

► THERAPANGO: Found in the Siren's cove. Anyone eating it will spill their emotional baggage to the nearest object (tree, statue, enemy soldier). It's cathartic, if not dignified.

► RAINBOW CRYSTALS: Found in the dragon's crystal lair. Contact with a rainbow crystal will increase endurance but delay/deny orgasms. No wonder the dragon was so hard up!

STAR WARBLERS

A THRILLING (AND SEXY) SPACE OPERA

【 Once upon a time, in a galaxy, far away...

The Palm Warblers and the Pine Warblers, two different legions of the massive Warbler fleet, began to battle. Whenever their ships would meet in space they would fight with the winner taking prisoners of war. After one such battle, a captured Captain of the Palm Warbler legion held in prison met a Lieutenant of the Pine Warbler tribe. After some rivalry, the two fell deeply in love.

They had a ton of kinky prison sex. However, the two were not satisfied with fucking between prison bars. They wanted to properly marry. But how could they with their two legions at war?

They each gathered friends and more sex was had between all. More matches between the Palms and the Pines happened, leading to even more kinky space sex. Bolstered by friendship and newfound fetishes, they gripped their laser guns and seized the science lab where some important keystone gemstone was being examined and researched by space scientists. This stone was very important for the future breeding of the Warbler race.

By holding the lab hostage, the ship's Commander put down their weapons and handed over the keys. The Palm Captain and the Pine Lieutenant held hands as they steered the ship off to find a new planet where they could live in peace together. The war between the two tribes ended because of good sex. All was well. The end. 】

A TASTE OF OUTER SPACE

► Guests taking the elevator to the new floor labeled 'STAR WARBLERS' will greeted with the ethereal hue of stars and planets outside of crystal-clear windows. While the set of Star Warblers is smaller than Lord of the Wings, it's far more detailed, completely imitating a starship traveling through the vastness of space. All of the elements of the spaceship are dripping in high-tech science fiction.

► The set includes background actors that have been instructed to stay in character at all times. Actors may encounter both friend and foe while exploring the set, regardless of whether or not the cameras are rolling. The background actors of Star Warblers are primarily Warbler Troops wearing helmets, highly ranked Warblers in sharp military uniforms, and white-coat clad scientists.

► Key locations in Star Warblers are: the prison hold, the ship's bridge, the command deck, and the ship's research laboratory. But these are not the only locations in the set! Actors will find a range of futuristic areas to explore on the ship.

ALIEN THREATS

Why keep the science fiction fictional when the Peacock can provide the real thing? While sets are generally safe and violence is simulated, there are elements of the film that can affect actors for real. If guests aren't careful, they may really find themselves in a sticky situation and need a clever Hollywood way to get out of it. Or maybe they'll need to live out a classic trope for real.

► 'TORTURE' BOTS: Found in the prison hold. Robots programmed to 'torture' prisoners into revealing information. These bots are equipped with dildos, vibrators, pussy pocket hands, lube jets, feather ticklers, etc. These bots can be controlled by the wardens for more intimate 'torture' sessions.

► SPACE RATS: Found in various locations. Small, neon rats that run around the hallways and in cargo areas of the ship. If bitten by a space rat, their bite will continue to swell until the bitten person has sex.

► GREEN GOOP: Found in the research labs. In syringes and in massive bubbling pods. When not watched, the goop will move on its own and try to absorb anyone around into it.

► GEMSTONE EGG: Found in the research lab. The gemstone egg that the scientists are evaluating, important for the future of the Warbler race. Any physical contact with the gemstone egg will inspire the sudden urge to mate and breed.

BOX OFFICE BOOM

► "And many, many, many more!" is no exaggeration. Smalltime directors and long-standing guests are producing dozens of pornos and these pornos are in need of actors. The above is not the extent of possibility. Players are encouraged to make up any kind of porno scene they want! Characters may take advantage of open sets to make videos or take photoshoots for their personal use, general public release not required.

► These pornos typically lack story and focus more on fetish and kink. The plots are loose, the lines are ad-libbed, and if there are any crew around it's one guy in a hoodie eating a donut. However, the cameras available for rent are just as high quality as the ones used on Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers. If that's not your style, all Watches have the capability to connect via bluetooth to film through standing cameras.

► Actors that participate in filming will receive a large payout per role. The more jobs you take, the more money you'll make! Alternatively, actors that don't fill any roles may find their bank accounts suddenly plunged deep into the red, no matter how rich they may have been before.

EXTRA SETS

Current Peacock locations and all of the Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers sets may be used for pornos. However, the world of kink is vast and variety is the spice of life. Several smaller open sets not usually available have appeared around the resort for actor use.

► CASTLE(S): Sets featuring the aesthetics of historical castles. Numerous versions are available, each influenced by a different culture (eg, English; French; Italian, Spanish; Russian; Chinese; Japanese; Korean; etc).

► CHURCH: A church stylized after Catholic/Christian aesthetics. Includes a confessional, pews, altar, and worship room.

► MANSION: A luxurious mansion designed to evoke high-class old money. Includes a servants' quarters for clandestine cross-class affairs.

► BEACH: An enclosed set with powdery sand and an artificial ocean. Includes grottos, a lifeguard station, and a large rubber shark.

► OFFICE: A plain work office lacking any particular unique qualities. Includes cubicles, copy machine, manager's office, and conference rooms. Smells like soul-sucking capitalism.

PREMIERE

YOUR BIG DEBUT

WALK THE RED CARPET

► We’re rolling out the red carpet! Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers open the same night. All actors that participated in any film, be it one of the blockbusters or a smaller project, are invited to dress to the nines and blow kisses to their adoring fans while strutting their stuff. Actors will have the chance to take fabulous glam photoshoots and share their thoughts about filming with reporters. Be careful, anything that happens on the red carpet can become tomorrow’s hot new gossip. Some of those pesky hummingbird journalists are so eager for a scandal that they’ll make something happen, sneakily!

► The Golden Peacock has upgraded its formerly dinky little theater into a grand multiplex for the occasion, so actors and audience can enjoy these films in delicious IMAX. The multiplex is lush in red velvet and fabulous “bed” seats — each seat is designed to couple two guests together. You won’t be lonely during the screening since cuddling up with someone else is mandatory to enjoy the movie(s).

► All premiere attendees will be gifted expensive swag bags upon entrance to the theater. Inside each bag guests will find a bottle of champagne, chocolate truffles, gourmet popcorn, trendy sodas, gummy candies … and one random sex toy. No harm in spicing up a special premiere, right?

The note included with the sex toy explains: 【 Get your seat partner off with this toy before the film ends for a special prize! 】 What’s the prize? Those that get their seat-partner off during the film will be given a Golden Globe. This exclusive gold statue comes in two styles: penis with balls or vagina with breasts. Congratulations!

[ashioki]

[ honestly? it's a better response than anything oushi could have thought up. he doesn't actually mean to go rogue or make this any more complicated for tomura than it has to be, but considering he isn't given much else to work with he's just pulling from both what is familiar to him... and what won't make him want to disintegrate on the spot.

which is probably not the attitude one wants to be bringing into a porno set but, well, here we are. ]

Sure, sure, [ he responds, in what he hopes is a casual-enough tone that no one can spot the way his smiles wavers from lack of confidence. slowly, he lowers himself down to his knees, positioning himself between tomura's legs (if he'll allow it). eye contact is supposed to be really sexy, but is it still hot to witness if oushi's reason here is to make sure he is not at risk of getting kicked in the head when his hands slide up to start undoing the other man's pants?

there's a long, long pause as he thumbs over a button. maybe his caution can be misread as teasing. ]

...Aren't you supposed to start playing?

[ technically — technically! — he hasn't lost his nerve yet. and all the cameras can see of him right now are the tips of his bright-pink ears. so as far as all that's concerned, he's still doing a pretty decent job here. (please say yes.) ]

[memori3s]

[ It's almost certainly a somewhat absurd sight. Akira's wig probably contributes to it, something that Minato only remembers exists when his free hand curls against it in search of Akira's soft locks. The strands are a little too smooth and long to belong to other wild card, and that has Minato's eyes fluttering open again as an amused exhale makes it past his lips.

He gives it a careful tug, letting it fall loose from Akira before dropping it off to the side, hand immediately returning to curl his fingers in Akira's actual hair. And there it is, that tousled texture he'd acquainted himself with their last time.

While they both move slower, there isn't any less heat in the way Minato parts his lips to allow Akira in. And maybe this encounter could remain sweet and chaste. In spite of his earlier words, Minato would be wholeheartedly satisfied with that.

But then he's feeling a gentle pressure against his thigh -- it must be Akira's hand, palm flat against the fabric of his dress. It roams southward, before slipping beneath the skirt, deft fingers running along his white thigh-high socks. While the rest of his outfit was unusually modest for the resort, the socks are trimmed with ribbon and lace. Perhaps the outer attire was subterfuge after all, concealing something more in line with the resort's typical antics.

He can't help the amused smile curving on his lips. Really? Is that the next piece of clothing Akira wanted to peel off him? Minato gets the message loud and clear, shifting from his knees to sit properly on the floor, the hand at Akira's chest sliding up to start loosening a black tie. ]

...does this mean you're a leg person, Akira?

[dilettante]

( given the ever growing tension between the two, mostly caused by her own playful banter and desire to take control of the situation, the small snickering from the watch fell far from her ears. to reira, it was only the two of them in this room and as she turned to finally come towards the front of him, she stopped and looked at him directly. with a softness to her expression, she simply shook her head and placed a hand against her forehead as she thought about his question. )

Aren't we all looking for something? Something to pass the time here, to fill up the emptiness with something?

( with her words sinking deep for a brief moment, she broke that stiffness with a bright smile before she reached out to gently touch his shoulder. )

I'm just teasing you, no need to be so uptight. I promise I don't need any help from you or anything, besides I think....I don't think I've seen you here before. Is that right?

[towerkeep]

Another soft sigh parts G'raha's lips at the touch, the way his arm is rubbed to offer just that extra bit of warmth that his outfit is sorely lacking. "I agree," he says with a brief but firm nod.

The words that follow do cause him to blink, but his cheeks only grow all the more blushed. "N-no, I do not mind. I... rather think that I enjoy that kind of thing..." His time in the Omegadome two moons prior had altered people's bodies for the duration of their time there, and copious amounts of material had seemed the norm, at least until he had experience outside of it.

[notscar]

[ wow. has he not seen the majesty that is the lack of ass upon the exorcist that's been here just as long as him? leona hasn't gotten a good look at natori's; there's always time to do that... maybe if he just kind of... tries to crane his neck in a specific way? no, he'd have to get out of bed to do that and also expose himself to the elements that is this relatively comfy trailer. ]

So ya do know him. [ another sniff of pre-judgement! ] Maybe I outta see if you're just as tasty as he is.

[ he licks his lips, eyes natori with the tiniest bit of blep poking out between his lips. does he seem like a ferocious man eater because he certainly is one! cake or not! ]

[paperpusher]

Haha, that's true!

[he's not humble.]

Maybe you should do a poll?

costume department

[the_roman]

[ Even back here, the occasional paparazzo is skulking around. It makes sense if you think about it: what better place to try and get a picture of one of the new stars in a state of undress than the fitting rooms?

Viktor's obvious discomfort and attempt to hide himself away has drawn the attention of one photographer like -- well, like a flower draws a hummingbird. They're sidling closer, bringing their camera up to frame Viktor in the lens, when a bright voice calls out: ]

Pardon me, sir! We've got an interview, don't we?

[ A short man in his late twenties barges past the hummingbird, interposing himself between Victor and the camera as best he can. He's holding a notebook and pen, which he flaps at the hummingbird paparazzo. ] Shove off, mate, this one's mine. They're doing lighting tests for Feline Attraction next stage over, go see if you can get a shot of someone's arse there.

[ Chirruping grumpily, the hummingbird snaps a photo of Ross and Viktor and then moves off. Ross turns to Viktor with an apologetic grimace. ]

All right, there? Sorry, they're bloody relentless.

[paperpusher]

[Maybe this is a little mean, giving her leading prompts like that... but Natori's hoping that she'll understand after the fact.]

Ahh, of course. [Natori's a little peeved that his character is apparently running his maid ragged and hasn't even insisted on showing her his movie... But then again, his movie is something with a concrete plot that this possession probably can't know the details of, so going with "she hasn't seen it" is probably the easier reality to feed her. Unless this is the sort of thing that could see into his mind too, of course. Natori doesn't need reminding of how tricky those spells could be. It seems unlikely (otherwise, why wouldn't it steal the plot of his incredible movie??), but he makes sure to avoid making eye contact with her just in case.

In fact... he sticks his pointer finger up in the air, an overly exaggerated show of suddenly remembering something.] Oh, that's right! Ishmael-san, I meant to ask you if you could pick up some materials for me. I don't suppose you happen to know where I can find some paper and something to write with? Nice washi paper would be best, but I don't want to make you run around more than you already have!

[paperpusher]

Haha, I'm used to it at this point. [Not just because of the presence of the lizard, but because he's used to everyone staring at him when he goes out in public! Weird that his fan has turned off her camera, but maybe she's just trying to save the battery?

In any case, the fact-gathering about the sort of place they've found themselves in is much more important than solving the mystery of his somewhat reticent fan.]Two months certainly sounds like a long time to me. [Not an impossible amount of time, if this is the kind of place he thinks it is, but an alarming one. He doesn't sound like he's about to freak out over the idea, though; more like he's taking notes.] Are there people who have been here for much longer? What was last month, if not this?

[tekkenseisai]

[ She knows that he wouldn't share that information with anyone that he didn't trust explicitly -- if she wasn't sure of that, he wouldn't just be getting off with a hard stare. Be that as it may ... it's her secret, which is why he's on the receiving end of that Queenly intensity.

[ Seeing him wilt under that pressure, she's satisfied that he undersands. ]

He mentioned that there were others. [ She confirms with a nod. ] And that some of them used different methods to summon their Personas than we do, too.

[tekkenseisai]

[ Makoto waits for more than the simple grunt of affirmation ... but when he turns back to his belongings, she quickly realizes that's all he was going to offer.

[ sigh.

[ What he adds, though, as he fishes out a few sets of photographs, gets her thinking again. ]

So they can be returned ... that's good, even if the fact that this place can somehow suppress our personas in the first place is disturbing.

[paperpusher]

[Man, Natori wishes he wasn't used to beautiful ayakashi (as he's going to continue to categorize Leona) looking at him like they want to eat him, whether metaphorically or literally. At least he's relatively sure that Leona's only considering the former right now.]

Sure, if you want. [This doesn't seem worth trying to tie into the negotiation, after all. Maybe he can use his ✨fabulously good looks✨ as part of getting what he wants, but you do have to display the merchandise to set the price.

With the ease of someone who has done this a lot, he shifts in his chair to what he thinks of as 'standard cheesy photoshoot pose #3,' stretching one leg out a little further and bending the other in a way that would give the camera a clean shot of both shoes and the way that his pants drape, if he were wearing shoes or pants. Or if there were a camera, but whatever. He leans his forearms against his thighs, carefully shifting so the robe falls open enough to show off his clavicle. The lizard is just visible on his left shoulder, sitting still like an all-black tattoo. Leona gets the "wow, I'm so interested in you, dear viewer, and/or you should buy the clothes I'm wearing" look directed straight at him, since he's the camera in all of this.]

I'm afraid my agency doesn't allow me to go further than this without pre-approval, but I can turn around if you prefer.

[Spoilers: he's also a shoujo noodle. Perhaps even less muscular than Matoba, who at least needs some gains for his archery; Natori's never lifting anything heavier than a messenger bag. But at least he's hot, in a clean-cut pretty boy movie star way.]

[edelstein]

I'm not from your world. How the hell am I supposed to know which places gives demons horns and which don't?

[edelstein]

You think anyone soft enough to want it changed is also powerful enough to actually change it without anyone targeting their loved ones?

[dulltool]

( it was rare when spike could find kinship from a stranger— even if they were agreeing on something as ridiculous and insane as the realism behind porn tentacles and yet for once he might have regretted opening his mouth to endlessly blabber about his complaints.

before he could truly process what she was saying, he was slowly turning around to face her, eyes wide, movements as lazy as ever. despite that he seemed genuinely....

intrigued? he wasn't quite sure what to think of such an admission. )

You...you can?

( he doesn't believe her, but he also doesn't believe he just asked that. considering they were dragged to this resort somehow without any clear indication of how or why, really he shouldn't question magic of all things and yet—

he does. )

Can I see it?

[massochism]

[They may not be quite as sturdy as real nails, but that doesn't even feel like a possibility to Olivine. Not with the way he arches and gasps, pale skin rising softly with red welts that trace sweetly over the swell of muscle and curve. Not with the way lips and tongue and teeth drag maddeningly down his torso, finding purchase at his hip to make him jolt with each bite.]

Mngh... I want... [His tone is dreamy and lazy, pleasure seeping into every part of it.] so much more... I'll devote every part of me to worship.

[menhulu]

[ ah, that reaction - it's a good thing that dan heng is a stoic individual even at the wackiest of times, otherwise he might have snorted a laugh at the way that reno defies him so dramatically.

just as well. dan heng can work with this. ]

It seems that you are ready to find out.

[ more than ready, considering the way that reno eagerly approaches once dan heng spreads his thighs, already reaching for him. already getting onto his knees. dan heng gasps when he feels the glide of reno's tongue along the slit of his vent, his hips twitching forward, eager and needy. purring deep in his throat, dan heng sighs, and slides one hand into that fire red hair. ]

A good start..

[redfortune]

...pretty sure I'm in some of them. Unfortunately.

[ She winces. ]

If they do, I'm gonna pretend I don't see 'em.

[redfortune]

[ Red isn't exactly curious herself. She's done this before, after all - well, had sex with a woman. Still, there's something undeniable about the touch of another that makes her shiver. Even the oddly cool touch from her partner and erstwhile dominator. She tenses, stretching herself forward a little and rising onto the balls of her feet as she feels fingers exploring a little more through the thing cloth of the panties. And then she goes even stiffer as a fingertip brushes against the nub of her clit. It's not a total overwhelming moment, but it does send a little shock up her spine. ]

You can't do this!

[ A half whine, although it's honestly a little stilted. Not nearly as genuine as it could be. Her head drops and she takes a few deep breaths as she tries to get a hold of herself. Underneath Clara's fingers there's more slick and damp, more heat. She's responding to the touch, bit by bit. ]

Fuck-

[ The teasing is almost worse than the alternative, though. ]

I'm not - I'm not going to be quiet-! I promise you that!

[icequeenly]

...Die?

[ Yes, she'll just go ahead and say that, frowning and arms still folded. ]

Tell me - would the Kirijo Mitsuru you know let that happen if she had any choice in the matter?

[ Because she's not the same Mitsuru he knew but they can't be so very different? Certainly not with something like this. Choice being the operative word, because if he had been through the exact same thing as Kotone before now then in the end she'd had absolutely no say in what happened there. This she does though. ]

[redfortune]

Hair, probably. Pretty sure they gave me the name because of it.

[ Perks of being an orphan. ]

And yeah. It's always like this. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but they're usually "encouraging" us to sleep together, have sex, whatever you want to call it.

[pyrolyzed]

... Tatsuya. Alright.

[ There was definitely a second there where he narrowed his eye, lips parted with a slight curl before he refrained from saying whatever it was he was about to say. -- even he knows that there's a time and a place for things, and he's not about to chew out the guy for his shitty taste in usernames (that's probably his real name, right? Tatsuya?) when he was responsi -- was involved in getting the guy into debt.

So Fuuta swallows back the shitty comment that had been prepared on the tip of his tongue, and instead huffs a low exhale as he looks down at his Watch. He obviously spends way too much time on his Watch judging by how quickly he taps and swipes through menus. And seconds later, Minato's Watch pings with a few incoming messages.

User pz25948011717 has sent you a gift!, each one reads, before declaring its contents. All in all, it's a dozen 10-chip coupons for Birdbucks, enough vouchers for a few decent meals at the Early Bird Hall, and a coupon for a free entree at the Red Cardinal. Not enough to make up for the double-penalty! But a decent chunk of change. ]

Okay, there. You won't starve, at least.

[ Fuuta sighs as he closes a menu and lowers his Watch, looking at Minato warily to gauge his reaction. ]

... you thinking of taking on another script?

[intertwinedfates]

[It's a sentiment Yato knows well, having been through hundreds of battle partners throughout the years. Finding just one he really gels with has taken a good thousand years or so, and even they they but heads a lot. Strong personalities, indeed.

Unfortunately, he wasn't exactly popular with his partners, which is why so many of them quit or ditched him. But then, he's changed a lot in the last year or so, becoming someone more tolerable and understanding. (He hopes.)]

Ah, thanks... Yours are too, if you ask me. [He thinks she's quite fetching, honestly, once she's been tidied up a bit.]

No, definitely not. It's not about looks, but how well you get along with someone.

[He smiles at that, finishing up with the powder. Definitely nice looking - it makes her eyes stand out in a good way. Hopefully everything together will make her smile, as that would really bring out her natural beauty. Grinning a bit, he holds up a hand mirror for her, eagerly waiting for her judgement.]

Whatcha think so far? Pretty good, I'd say!

[dulltool]

Is that right?

( she might have been blunt and direct to the point, but that only garnered bonus points from him. she was already starting to rub him all the right ways like an endearing little sister.

or older depending on her age. for now though he simply shook his head and let out a sigh. )

And by encourage you mean force, right?

[menhulu]

[ she gives the cameras a good look at her body - and him as well. he's always found her beautiful, but seeing her on display like this is entirely different. every inch of her body is bare for him. no wonder she's terribly nervous. dan heng keeps her comfort in the back of his mind as he sits forward, allowing his eyes to sweep down and up her body again, enjoying every soft curve of her, soft in the refracted light. ]

I do.

[ he answers, a little too softly, he thinks, so he sharpens up his expression as he reaches forward to take her wrist, tugging her in nearer, to stand right before him. he's already aching, his cocks emerging rapidly now that he's seen all of her. ]

But beauty alone is not enough to please me. You must work to satisfy me.

[ he takes her other wrist now, trying to coax her into his lap. ]
