[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!

[Honestly, in theory it doesn't sound too difficult? Just shack up with the right people on a regular basis and collect those cards! Technically someone should be able to get it done in a couple months, if they went all nuts with the shagging. Life rarely works out so straightforwardly, though.

Doesn't mean he can't try! It does mean getting over his hangups, however. In this case it sucks to be a thousand-year-old virgin.]

It's sneaky like that, huh? Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to stay on guard for any deviousness they might throw my way.

[Given what trouble something as simple as skimpy clothes are giving him, he's not surprised.]

You can even go against them? [Color him slightly surprised!] That's something of a relief, I gotta admit - I'm... kinda new when it comes to these things, so I'm not sure what all I might find too much. It's good you're able to stay positive, though! That kind of attitude will take you far.

[It's what's helped him survive a rough life all this time, honestly. Of all the sorts of people he could've bumped into, this sort is always nice. Positivity breeds positivity, after all!]

You really are like a shining star among all the glitz and glamour of this place, I gotta say! Clothes have always been something of a luxury for me, so I'm looking forward to trying on all sorts of neat clothes!

[Eyebrows raising, Yato hums a bit at being gestured at.]

Any role, huh...? .....hmm. [He thinks for a few moments, then lights up.] I wanna be the hero who rescues the innocent maiden from the clutches of the evil villain! I'm not picky about the genre.

ii-c

[lovedbycats]

[ he thought he was going to act as a PA for some of these shoots and instead, here he is holding the same contract that aak had apparently signed. with seth more or less in a bind and fairly uncertain of the situation, isn't it easier for him to just stand there in feline solidarity and hope that he could also get off the hook?

so with the thiren hanging out behind the other assumed beast thiren, seth nods frantically. ]

Yeah! I thought it was a different movie too. There's no way that we both could've signed for the cat-based film. That's way too coincidental!

[ saying as he, the one with the big ass floofy tail and the tufted ears. ]

you invited this

[edelstein]

I was just asking, [the voice on the other side is most assuredly a woman's. Though it seems she's agitated, rebellious, and scratching at the partition to relieve some of that pent-up energy.]

Are you real, or just some hoax? I knew a priest before, and he was quite the sadistic freak.

[Is this on or off script? Perhaps the idea here is to present someone strong willed to gently coax into the fold using alternative means. Or maybe the taboo of a willful woman untamed is what finally pries a faithful priest from his devotion to the cloth?]

Convince me on why I should be confessing.

Lord of the Wings

[redhairedturk]

[Reno has been all dressed up for his role, supposed to play one of the brides that get "sacrificed" to the Dragon Lord.
He has no idea who he will be playing against, but he likes the way he looks.
His long red hair has been braided and adorned with flowers and jewels, eyes framed with black to make the turquoise of his irises pop and most of all is he dressed in a flowy, red dress that reveals more than it hides. With every step that he takes on his bare feet the fabric parts and reveals his long, slender legs almost up to his hip.

He gets ushered onto the set, without any further information, and he follows the way he is supposed to walk to finally face the Dragon Lord ... Which looks more than just familiar.
He raises and eyebrow and a small smirk tugs at the corner of his lips, but while others would probably bow to appease the dragon, Reno remains standing tall.
Almost like a challenge does he raise his chin as their gazes meet.]

I think I'm more than just passable. I'll go as far as to say that none of your other brides can compare.

Lord of the Wings (if this isn't too silly)

[tfy]

[How did the proud idol called Hiyori Tomoe end up being marched across the Lord of the Wings set in wedding-themed lingerie, you ask? Well, don't ask! He'd rather not talk about it, thanks! We'll get to that later if we must, but for now, just don't!

But anyway, that's what's happening. And after reading the script, he feels deathly afraid. His job, apparently, is to fail to satisfy the Dragon Lord, making way for the conclusion later where a whole bunch of warriors team up to satisfy him at once, which is just adding insult to injury. Why would the experience of being with him ever be unsatisfying? But even if his job was to satisfy him, he doesn't want to be offered to the Dragon Lord as a bride! He doesn't know who the Dragon Lord is, but that's still a no-go! Which is why, when the other cast members let go of him, he intends to turn and run right off the set!

... or at least that was the plan. But then he sees one very familiar figure standing amidst the smoke and lava (which are some very impressive special effects, he has to admit.) He almost doesn't recognize him at first; Bakugo's aura is more intense than he's ever seen it, eyes blazing like they could burn a hole right through him, and he blends into the scene so well that it's like he truly is part of this world. Like he was born for this role. Who would have thought he possessed that kind of acting talent?

Faced with such a formidable display, Hiyori forgets himself, his state of undress, and the whole questionable script. Forgets, even, that their last encounter was highly awkward and uncomfortable. As a performer, he can't help but want to match that energy. And as a result...

He throws the script away and gets in-character, too.]

Kill me?

[His lips twist downward, brows pinched into an incredulous expression.]

That's what you think brides are for?

[He looks and sounds offended. In truth, he is somewhat offended, since even if this is all some silly script and he looks admittedly ridiculous, he still doesn't like being talked down to. Not by a dragon lord, and especially not by his junior!]

If so, someone ought to give you the Talk! But then I don't know what I should've expected from such a young dragon lord. You haven't had your coming-of-age yet, have you? And your tail has yet to grow!

2

[edelstein]

Hell if I know. I don't really bother with makeup.

[The young woman in his chair has her hair up in a tight bun. Her bangs clipped back with small snap barrettes, and her face is freshly washed. In the chair she's stripped down to a strapless bra and a pair of shorts. Clearly just modesty items meant to cover her while Haru's artistry is placed upon her.

A confused look creases at her brow as Rin grabs at a small note she left on the chair's armrest. It has her name and designated role she'll be playing for the next scene.]

It says "Space Rebel". That's no help at all!

[Well, the person he's trying to talk to right now is in a heated discussion with one of the people from the costume departments.

Yusuke is REFUSING to wear a wedding dress, no matter what they are trying to bribe him with. Miraculously, not even the offer of all the art supplies they can collect is working. He is going back and forth and demanding a kimono or he'll walk- this set is not the only one lacking "actors".

The argument stops when the costume designer spots Minato and runs up to him and grabs his hands, begging with tears in her eyes- Yusuke's harsh words about her ballgown wedding dress sting! You understand her vision, right?!

Yusuke just glares at the back of her head, unflinching. He's learned not to let this place toss him around as it pleases.]

If you want a dress to be worn, wear it yourself, [he huffs, and crosses his hands defiantly.]

[paperpusher]

[That's definitely an ayakashi in that bed! Natori glances over to gauge how likely it seems that he's about to get attacked (not particularly), but doesn't stop his searching.]

Haha, sorry for intruding. [Spoilers: he couldn't possibly sound less sorry.] Is this your place? I'll be on my way as soon as I can.

[redhairedturk]

[Reno wishes he had better news for Zack, but unfortunately it's not the case. On the contrary; there are probably a few more things that he should tell him sooner rather than later.]

Yeah, no. Not kidding this time.
The good news: these paparazzi are gonna vanish alongside all this here, whenever the resort thinks that things should go back to "normal",
[He gestures the quotation marks, because what really can count as normal in this place?]
However the whole sex thing stays. Apparently you turn to stone when you don't participate enough.
Oh, and ... Didya get your tattoo yet?

[After all suit flares are also a thing. And those can happen thanks to the resort at all times, not just when they're not fucking around.

He watches Zack's reaction to determine how distraught the other already is, before he keeps dumping more things onto him.
Like, who else is here ...]

4 sorry mako-chan

[artcritic]

[By this time, Yusuke is exhausted and almost half asleep on his legs. He's become the pure definition of being 'run ragged'. No, he's not here to be a scene partner, but to put artistic, REALISTIC, dragon make-up on whoever is sitting in the chair as they will be "ruling the scene".

He doesn't even catch her voice, or whatever she said or asked, just dumps several bags and cases of makeup on the vanity table next to her, and starts rolling up his sleeves.]

No blinking, no moving, no complaining, if you're allergic to body paints, you should leave and choose a different role, I am not discussing anything with anyone---

[---Yusuke continues to ramble off the rules he had to set up so he can get ANY work done. He looks... older. Hair a bit longer, in ponytail, wearing a button-up shirt that looks like it was neat, pressed, and without makeup stains 18 hours earlier.]

pizza delivery boy is hot (oh no)

[chiffonades]

[ How Sanji let himself get talked into doing this remains unclear, even to him. One minute, he’s convincing the director to let him make the pizza, rather than relying on whatever comes out of the kitchens, and the next, they’re looking him over the sharp suit he’s got on and conscripting him for this stupid film.

They do still agree to let him make the pizza, though, so maybe it’s not a total waste of time. After hearing the familiar ruckus and glimpsing Luffy being ushered off towards set, he couldn’t just risk them giving his Captain something weird to eat.

The downside is, he’s stuck opposite reading lines, wincing at how wooden and basic they are. ]

Hey there, handsome, I ordered a pizza with, uh, extra sausage. [ Rolling his eyes, he checks the (almost empty) box of pizza and makes an exaggerated tsk sound. ] This pizza doesn’t even have sausage on it.

[ Shaking his head, he gives an exasperated look at the floating camera. ] Can’t believe the crap they expect us to read.

[memori3s]

[ Good on Ivan for realizing Minato's got a knack for seeing straight through those types of facades... And even if he didn't, they wouldn't change how he treated the other person at all. ]

"Real nature"...?

[ Was this stranger from someplace that only had artificial trees? Minato stays crouched but looks up at the treetops with a small frown. He supposes this place was pretty picturesque, but the man's comment about the grass piques his curiosity. How different could blades of grass truly feel from one another? Each blade was always cool against skin and a little waxy to the touch, wasn't it? ]

I guess I've seen real grass and trees like this before, yeah.

[tfy]

[The only reason anyone would care about such a "scandal" is because it concerns a royalty card. "Affairs" and encounters in the dark are what this place runs on, after all. But the paparazzi need to make a buck somehow!

Silly though his dialogue was, he still acted his heart out. Which is why he gets somewhat huffy as the camera continues to focus on his butt, prompting her to make a butt joke. Not at her, mind you. He's mad, as always, at the indignity of it all!

Though given that he's had more upsetting things happen recently, well... he truthfully doesn't care too much. He just likes to kick up a fuss.]

Tell them that too, if you must! I don't care how many parts they lose.

[At least the cameraperson for this scene was an equal-opportunity lech. As Hiyori's scene partner responds to him, urging him to lay down his laser gun and choose peace, the camera shifts focus to zoom in on their butt. Then when Hiyori responds with the appropriate amount of suspicion ("You just want to claim the egg yourself and win eternal glory!"), the camera goes back to his butt! It's a confrontation between two butts!

So, for as much as Hiyori likes admiring himself, he's done watching for now. He'll talk to his moviegoing date! Even if it's bad manners to talk in a movie theater, he doesn't care much!]

What was your film like? Surely they wouldn't cast someone like you as just an extra, would they?

— lord of the wings

[chiffonades]

Dressed in earthy tones— deep brown trouser and boots, dark green tunic and an even darker cloak, only a hint of silver ringmail and the pommel of the sword he won’t use glinting in the sparse light— he looks like he belongs in the forest, even if he’s nowhere near the knight or prince he’d like to imagine himself to be. The whole set should fill him with a sense of awe— it’s inspired, really— but the initial sense of amazement fades, tempered by months of experience with this shitty place and constant exposure to the highest heights of luxury that it can offer.

It leaves him weary. The House always has something planned. It’s often transparent, but sometimes, it’s sneaky and subtle.

He’s wandering deeper into the forest, slowly letting himself sink into the fantasy of this place, when he hears Uta’s sneeze. Sanji’s sense of rightness won’t let him ignore even something as simple as that, not when they’re already caught up in one of the House’s schemes.

“Hey,” he waves at her as he rounds the top of a hill, an easy, warm smile on his face that spreads just the tiniest bit wider once he catches a glimpse of her. “You o— I mean, uh, are you well, my lady?”

Look, if they’re going to be filmed while this happens, he might as well try and lean in to the part of the dashing hero that fearlessly checks on anyone that shows even a hint of distress.

[Akira is not on set to be an actor. he is not here for his big breakthrough, or to have his name and face immortalized on the big screen for decades to come. no, Akira is here. . .]

[. . . to hand Haru a bottle of water, his features perfectly stony, light catching his lenses to make his features completely unreadable. being "perfectly average" as he is means most of the casting managers have passed him up for any kind of role in their soon-to-be hit films. but the crew managers seem to be short on production assistants, so. . .! why not grab the helping hands of the guy who just doesn't fit their ~artistic vision~?]

Well then, Beauty Warrior.

[his words are DECEPTIVELY even]

I think it might be time for you to take a break.

[translation: if you want an escape I know how to get you out of here, and fast.]

costume mishap; totally cool with either nsfw or gen!!

[survivaltricks]

[I"m]

[so sorry]

[but the moment Scott calls attention to what lies beneath that yellow underwear. . . Akira's gaze immediately dips downward. buuuuut at least he instantly realizes what he is doing and yanks his eyes up quickly, features nonchalant and stony, perfectly impossible to read]

Hm.

[. . . hm!]

I mean, it's not a bad look on you. . .

[Akira, on the other hand, is. . . well!]

@hearse

[wheft]

I always fill these out myself. I mean, why would you let an AI write your resume?

[maipokerface]

[Mai makes an amused sound.]

Yeah no kidding. I got threw into that one big film thing and all of the dialogue was just sex and more sex.

[maipokerface]

[... Fuck.]

So is there a pastry you actually want to stick your dick in or is that just a creative example?

[One can almost feel the level of shoulder shrugging in her reply.]

Well yeah, most of it's too corny to read with any real level of arousal.

[maipokerface]

Could it?

[That just quips right off her tongue before she thinks it through. Mai's shoulders slump.]

It really could.

[memori3s]

[ Two weeks isn't a very long time, all things considered. But it sure is a long time for anyone to go without knowing what had happened to a friend. ]

...do you feel any different?

[ Apparently Kotone had been at the Golden Peacock in the past, but she didn't return with her memories intact. It seems Red doesn't have that problem though.

Minato casts a quick glance at the rest of the crowd before tugging a bit on Red's sleeve. ]

We should find someplace else to talk.

[wheft]

[ oh crap, it's that cantankerous pipsqueak from the basement a while back. though luckily for aurelia, ishmael isn't fully herself right now, so any animosity she has for the shorter woman will be more muted as usual as ishmael takes closer steps towards her. ]

Of course, milady.

[ she even curtsies. crazy.

as aurelia correctly surmises, ishmael follows her to the makeup department, tilting her head questioningly once they've arrived. ]

Do you... need help with your hair and makeup, milady?

actor resume;

[maipokerface]

[Mai is a terrible person who finds amusement in some of the resumes. Like this one for example.]

Exotic prince *and* eager virgin? There's a dozen of those indie films you'd fit right into.

[redfortune]

Well, it could be making us incredibly horny for no reason.

[ Red responds dryly. ]

I'm sure they'll give that a shot sometime soon, though.

[cincture]

It's a life skill too, isn't it?

The village I grew up in didn't have much in means of... anything, really. So my brother and I had to learn to live frugally. But as the local priest, and thus one of the main sources of hope for the village, my brother resolved to live "honorably poor," as he would call it. Which often meant spending what little money we had on practical but functionally useless things... instead of balancing the budget properly.

I never did understand it.
