[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!

[tweelight]

But... [ The fangs, the ears? He can't believe she's a human, at any rate. But he can grasp that it must not be that simple for her. ]

Um, sorry?

[ He reaches out a hand towards her back, then thinks better of it. She sounds controlled, but after that flash of emotion, it feels like a spring held down. ]

It's... not an insult. All my friends are demons. Well, most of them.

[laserguy]

[...Wow.

Scott's slowly getting an idea of the kind of person his makeup artist is and he can't help but snort a little. Not that he thinks she isn't good with a sword, but there's a certain tilt in her voice-- an air that she carries that makes him roll his eyes behind his glasses. Hard for anyone to really notice or see, but he still gets some satisfaction out of it. Sometimes that's all that matters--]

But you're saying that you do still have special qualities in your blood.

[He's not expecting an affirmation to his next question, but Scott wants to get it out of the way now. He's also still reeling from the stuff that happened a couple of weeks ago, that pull of loneliness and being the only mutant here stronger than before.] Know of mutants at all?

[memori3s]

[ Getting jostled by the shoulder does wake Minato up a little more, though it doesn't do anything to chase away the sensation of cotton stuffed in his head. He flinches a bit as a hand presses itself against his forehead, not quite understanding what Bakugo is up to.

But feeling unwell does mean he's too tired to put up any resistance. Minato allows himself to get toted off by the hand, immediately settling down on the bench. There's a sigh of relief as he sits down, grateful to be off his feet. ]

You're not done for the day, are you...?

[ Didn't Bakugo need to return to filming in a bit? The script can't keep going without its almighty Dragon Lord. So long as Minato can get a bit of rest, he'd probably feel better in a little while.

It seems he hasn't been at the resort for long enough to identify when something's afoot. He hadn't eaten anything strange and hadn't had anything weird to drink either, so Minato's certainly stumped. ]

[maladie]

[His eyes fixate on that drop as it travels, highlighting a path to downward that Vanitas feels compelled to trace with his tongue. He nips and sucks on a collarbone, kissing his way toward that nipple without hesitation. It's hard against his tongue like the other man's arousal is hard in other places.

Vanitas notices the movement at his waist, but doesn't realize that it's his belt being undone, the front of his trousers open. His arousal must have been obvious under the fabric, and now even more so as the clothing makes way to release his cock from its constraints.

Both Vanitas' brows furrow in an effort not to laugh at the line. Human. Right. He may not be cut out for this kind of acting, but he keeps it together long enough to nod. ] What did you have in mind? Are you curious about me? Do you want to know how I taste? [He's far too good at flipping that switch and going from seduced to seductive. His lips find his way back up to that mouth again, helping his partner's hands push his trousers down his hips.]

[survivaltricks]

[he absolutely does not. is Akira going to anyway?? yes]

[but only for a brief moment before he laughs and tosses them aside, discarded like the rest of their stripped accessories. one hand sneaks underneath Minato's ruffles for the umpteenth time, coming to rest against the knee that is still outstretched and not occupied by Minato's elbow, fingers drumming lightly across the rounded curves of bone living so close to the surface]

If you're the one saying it. . .

[then Akira is allowed to agree, even if he wasn't the one suffering by running in around in lacy underthings!!]

. . . and by tight, do you mean--

[. . . the hand does not stay innocently perched far away from indecency for long. it's quick. it's meant to be, to purposefully take Minato by surprise, to draw either a sharp gasp or a quiet groan from those smiling lips. but Akira's gaze flutters, eyes lidded, firmly affixed on Minato's smiling features as his palm glides up that thigh once again. this time. . . his touch dips towards his companion's arousal-- blindly so, because he hasn't yet taken a peek at what he is working with yet, and he wants to see how the other Wild Card reacts-- but still with all of the brazen boldness Minato has come to expect from Akira thus far. cheeky!! even during intimacy!!]

[edelstein]

So? It's not like loneliness every killed anybody. It's a simple price to pay for security.

[tweelight]

[ Yep, definitely more intense now. The way the sharp protest just rolls straight into a polite greeting throws him off, and he hovers indecisively for a moment. But in his heart he can't stand the idea of being rude to someone who seems like she's trying to make nice, even if it feels like it came from nowhere, and he drops down, back into the water. ]

I'm the Demon King, Twilight. Pleased to meet you.

[...he really does sound pleased. Neither his doubts nor the depth of his voice in this form entirely hide it. He's making a friend already! A human friend. If he can do that maybe being here is an opportunity for him. ]

Did you still want the comb?

[memori3s]

[ No, he definitely doesn't have the reaction time to do anything about it... Nothing bad has happened so far though!

Minato blinks as Nei digs into him even deeper. Now that he's thinking about it... ]

You're... worried?

[ Why was she fretting so much over a complete stranger? In fact, did they even know each other's names? There were definitely other guests at the resort who'd extended their concerns in spite of him being unfamiliar to him. In fact, it seemed to keep happening with reasonable frequency. Weird.

...or maybe she's just frazzled about everything that's unfolded at the resort this far, and she just needs good target to start swinging. ]

[memori3s]

[ Minato won't have to wait long for Akira's hand to start wandering again. Even as it rests upon his knee, the fingers drumming lightly against it are proof of his restlessness. But because Akira offers no other signs of his intent to dive back in, the palm sliding up Minato's thigh is rewarded with the sharp inhale Akira sought.

He blinks, eyelids fluttering as the hand just barely misses where he wants Akira's hand the most. Minato's chin slips from the back of his hand, head bowed as he shakes it in faux disapproval. Teasing him like this, even after getting him all wound up... ]

What else could I mean?

[ Minato lifts his head as his hand returns to his side again, the earlier smile shifting into the more commonly-seen impassivity. Maybe he'd even look uninterested as his gaze breaks away, if it weren't for the red dusting his cheeks. ]

Don't ask rhetorical questions...

[ As if he hasn't just uttered one himself. ]

[tfy]

[If Hiyori was super worried about insulting people, well... he'd probably watch what comes out of his mouth a bit more often.

He blinks at the whole mutant-trying-to-take-over-the-world explanation, before he chirps:]

No kidding! That's no way to endear yourself! No one likes those power-hungry types. Even though some people never seem to learn that lesson...

[He's thinking of Eichi and Ibara from home. Who are not mutants. Probably. Anyway, there's something he doesn't get, so he continues to fix Scott with an inquisitive look.]

But mutants can also be superheroes, yes? Sort of like how people with Quirks from Baku-kun's world can be heroes or villains. Which makes it awfully short-sighted to hate you all for having powers, if you ask me. After all, you could be the one to pull them out of the wreckage, or catch them in midair and carry them to safety. And then they'll feel awfully foolish!

[He smiles curiously as he asks:]

Those are the sort of heroics you're gearing up to do, correct?

[nintendog]

( he's so lucky she can't see that.. imagine this one getting more insufferable than she already is?? the snort makes her squint, and it's being counted as a strike. nei will remember this.

alright, alright. his moment of reprieve is over. it's time to start swatching a few shades of foundation on his cheek to see which would work better. she can chat and work at the same time because she's just sooooo good like that.

this one isn't a brag though. just a matter of fact. )

The things we hunt find my blood tastier than anyone else's.

( less an ability and more a property that makes her a bloodied cut of meat in a pit full of starved piranhas, but she won't go that far. a drop of it tends to be all it takes for them to drop everything to come for her with reckless abandon. which does have its uses! so maybe he's right. )

Um..? ( she's got her favorite of the three, and is now putting some on the back of her hand to warm it some before she gets well and fully started. ) No? I'm not really sure what you mean by that though.

( like what is that. a brand name? )

[. . . what the fuck. cute. cute?? Minato does his best to feign impassivity, but the scarlet painting his cheeks, the flutter of his eyelids, the bow of his head. . . it all speaks of anything but. Akira's heart flutters, more heat sparking to life in his veins, coursing through him in a pleasant wave]

[his grin widens. impish. mischievous. unashamedly hungry]

. . . I want to—

[he wants to see. to touch, to feel, to taste, to hear those familiar sounds of pleasure and need tumble from Minato's lips. but he doesn't finish that thought aloud as he surges forward to press a light kiss against the corner of the other Wild Card's mouth (the only part of his lips Akira can reach, head turned as it is), fingers finally brushing up against what Minato wants the most. curling tightly around heated, hardened skin, wasting no time in gliding down and then up again to start stoking those first few embers of pleasure]

[rhapsodical]

i don't know
sure you might be alive but it doesn't really feel like living
what about things like sleepovers, going to the beach with friends
even having someone who can be there for you if you're feeling down can make all the difference

[tfy]

And that's when you bring an umbrella. Or have someone follow you around holding one, since you're a Queen! ♪

[He says in response to the thing about getting a tan.

That grimace she's wearing, though... It does make him morbidly curious. Somehow he doubts it was just the jumping-around-and-getting-sweaty part that she objected to. Given some of the things he saw on other sets and personally experienced on the Lord of the Wings one, he knows full well how her movie could have turned out; what kind of "performance" they may have expected from her.

Still, she says the whole thing was "too silly to care about," so whatever indignities she suffered don't seem to have scarred her, anyway.]

I know exactly what you mean.

[And he leaves it at that. He won't pry! Instead, he casts his hand around in the swag bag for something to eat, while proposing a new and exciting idea.]

That's why I think we'd be better off making our own movie. Not the direct-to-video kind, but something like a concert film. That'd be fun, wouldn't it?

[abit_ofboth]

”Ah, I see.” Loki looks her over for a moment. “I’m guessing you had a sheltered childhood then? It is nothing to be ashamed of. I doubt you are the first to have been brought here who is inexperienced. Though I am sorry that this place is where you will learn.” And learn she will unless she wants to be punished, and not in the fun and kinky way. He truly feels for her. Loki can’t imagine how awkward that would be.

”If you don’t mind a bit of advice, I would recommend getting to know some people and try to find people you trust. You do have some time before the resort decides to punish you for inactivity, though I wouldn’t delay. You never know what they might do to encourage you. But it will be easier to handle if you have friends to help you through.” Loki knows this from experience.

He has half a mind to offer to help her himself, but then she mentions who she knows here, and in a way that indicates she’s not exactly happy with him. Loki sits up straighter, his eyebrows raising in an expression of surprise. Could this be the daughter Shanks mentioned to him a while back? The first chance he gets, Loki is going to send his friend a message and try to find out his side of the story, but for now, he simply listens to the young woman.

”I take it then he has the best of intentions, but they still ended up hurting you. I am afraid that is quite common for many, myself included. Perhaps, despite the strangeness of the nature of this place, this will be an opportunity for you to work out your issues with him.”

Loki grins, happy to have made her laugh. “You are attractive and pleasant to speak with, I am sure you will find your way.” His tone is much more honest now, losing all the teasing as he feels just a little bit awkward for teasing and flirting with the daughter of one of his lovers.

[memori3s]

[ And that's why Minato will never truly stop Akira from asking those questions, unable to stop himself from letting the other indulge.

Lips press against the corner of his mouth; he thinks to turn his head, to return the gesture and allow Akira to deepen it. His mind is suddenly wiped clean though, nothing rattling about in his head other than how good it feels to finally have Akira's hand on him. The fingers curling around him come unexpected, still out of sight from beneath layers of cloth.

His breath stutters as Akira coaxes those first few embers of pleasure into something bigger, each stroke akin to the steady pump of bellows breathing life into the beginnings of a flame. ]

Then --

[ Minato swallows down a moan as he feels himself throb within Akira's grasp. ]

What else -- what else do you want...?

[ A question he may soon regret asking, but Minato finds that he can't find it in him to care at all. Not when Akira's watching him with sharp focus, mischief dancing within his eyes. ]

[ashioki]

[ there is a nagging part of oushi'a brain that snags at those words; something that feels a lot like desperation, the bitter beginnings of a growing inferiority complex after finding himself so constantly surrounded by the exceptional and extraordinary. he is just as quick to wave the feeling away, not exactly eager to let it manifest into anything like tenderness or hope, and instead decides to throw his full focus on the task at hand—

which probably wouldn't be quite so bad if it weren't literally attempting to fully disrobe an objectively attractive young man. there is a fragility to vanitas' beauty that feels both deceptive and vulnerable, but oushi isn't nearly sophisticated enough to distinguish between them, or comprehend much more than the fact that, at even the most unflattering angle, vanitas had the kind of looks that could easily captivate.

the kiss is both a welcome distraction, and completely unexpected. for a second, after he straightens back up, he stands stunned, unable to fully comprehend what just happened. had he done something to deserve that kiss...?

but then the sting of the bite finally registers, and oushi flinches back out of reflex. his hands come up to close around vanitas' arms, just to hold the boy a few inches away while also grounding him. blood pools at the little pinprick on his lower lip, but he doesn't actually look upset about it... frankly, it's a wonder there's any blood to bleed at all, considering how red his face is. ]

Ow, [ he says, quite inelegantly. his eyes are searching, and in the greens vanitas would be able to spot the obvious confusion. ] Were you just feeding or...

[ was the purpose the bite or the kiss? ]

[survivaltricks]

[there it is. the first low groan of hopefully many, and Akira trails his lips to the curves of Minato's jaw, more kisses scattering feather-light across pink skin. the movement of his hand is achingly slow-- enough to draw out some pleasure, but not nearly enough to drag Minato towards that beautiful horizon]

[not yet]

[his response to that question is a low purr, rumbled against the skin of Minato's exposed neck, right above where the slowly-healing bruise peeks out from behind white cotton]

I want to watch you come apart at the seams.

[. . .]

And ruin this dress so badly the costume department won't ever want it back.

[and he punctuates that last declaration by swirling his thumb across the tip of Minato's arousal, his touch slow and slick and horribly teasing]

[survivaltricks]

[JUST THE ONE??]

[and yet, Akira doesn't seem to mind, if his amused half-laugh is any indication. and despite the steep price he quoted her earlier--]

Dinner it is, then.

[apparently his services are, in actuality, much cheaper than he held them out to be. with the contract negotiated, he lifts both plastic bags and tilts his head towards a few of the other makeup artists]

I'll be right back.

[and then he vanishes further into the dressing room in order to deliver his meals. he isn't gone long! only about ten minutes!]

[nintendog]

( so far!!!!!!!!


... )

.. Huh?

( cue an incredulous blink. honestly? probably a bit of column a and column b. not that she knows how to express either into proper words. but being so pointedly called on like that has her somewhat flustered, which only makes her scoff because that's just clearly the correct way to deal with that. )

I don't know you, but that doesn't mean I can't warn you.

( ? right? )

Would it sit right with you knowing that you could've prevented a bad thing from happening to someone if you'd just said something?

[icequeenly]

I'm not uncomfortable about that.

[ Matter of fact. She doesn't say it but truthfully, she's been here far too long for something like the problem they're faced with to really surprise her anymore. Nor for the solution to be... well, that. It wouldn't be the first time she's had to help someone out of a scenario like this one, although a actual death sentence was taking it to a whole other level.

She is starting to blush now, but not for any reasons of reluctance, just... ] Although I would rather be discreet about this in case any of the crew think we're auditioning for larger roles in this production.

[ You know, the doing stuff on screen kind.

There's got to be a vacant trailer around here, right? ]

[memori3s]

[ It's impossible for Minato to obscure how he truly feels about those comments. In spite of remaining wordless, his body betrays his own desires: a shudder rolling down his spine, more of his arousal beading at the tip. The thumb swirling languid across his sensitive head doesn't help at all, the gesture just as slow as the rest of Akira's hand.

Warm breath puffs over a purple bruise on his neck. Minato swallows as the one who'd left the mark finds himself drawn to it once more. The bruise is lingering proof of the first time they'd fallen together. Who's to say that defiled layers of cloth couldn't be another form of it? ]

...greedy, trying to make it your own.

[ Insatiable, even, not that he's voicing any complaints. It makes him just as bad, doesn't it?

He won't comment on Akira's first statement, not when thinking about it would only make the flame beneath his skin burn with greater intensity. And in any event, part of the dress' innermost layer is likely already stained with the beginnings of Akira's playful teasing. ]

But I guess -- that's a form of rebelling against this place, isn't it?

[ Ruining one of its pieces of property, even if it's in a way that the resort probably approved of... ]

[goons]

[Rude looks at Reno with continuously narrowed eyes, only turning away so he can change into the turtleneck and coat that he's supposed to be wearing for the scene. It's an ugly olive color that strangely goes well with his skintone, but is a little tight around his arms and chest.]

My problem? I don't have a problem.

[He keeps his pants on, not bothering to change those. Sighing, he moves closer to help Reno with his costume. It looks ridiculous, but he can't just let his partner struggle.] Let me do it. [Rude swats Reno's hands away to tied the tie, a ridiculous detail in a largely unrealistic school uniform. Anyone would be expelled for wearing something like that.]

Let's not keep Boyfriend #2 waiting.

[laserguy]

[With fingers sliding underneath the apron, he eases it above Minato's head until the garment is fully free. There's still that more careful pull, unlike the headdress, although Scott doesn't fully pull away from that behavior, because he also just tosses the apron over his shoulder and clearly not caring about where it hands. It's fine!!]

Huh? [Oh, his own outfit. Yeah. Scott can't help but glance down the length of his body at the question, and it's not like anything has changed, it sure is still sticking to him like a second skin. But he still shakes his head, a small smile lifting at the corner of his mouth.]

Maybe, but it's okay. We're already working on you. I promise that I can endure this for a few minutes longer. [...] Besides, it's just the dress part left, right?

1/2

[survivaltricks]

[Akira can also hear the director groan, and it takes all of his willpower not to break out into an amused, mischievous grin. not a fan of his acting, sir?? then why did you cast him in this role!!]

Sensei has more than just expensive tastes in coffee. He also likes--

[a dramatic pause. Akira hooks his fingers around his tie, purposefully digging between the creased edges, loosening the garment from his neck]

[the production crew gasps. they all lean forward, absolutely captivated by what he is going to say next]
