[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!

i wasn't going to start calling you pazuzu
if that helps?
does this thing know about everything or did you type that before
maybe you should have filled it yourself because then it does weird shit


i have to go fill this thing

[paperpusher]

[Ouch. Again, prodding against a bruise that's particularly tender in the wake of discovering his uncle's planned betrayal, of having to explain to Natsume exactly where the Natori clan falls in the exorcist hierarchy. Matoba might have just meant it as an every day sort of jab, but it lands a little harder today. 'No small parts' indeed.

That informs his response more than anything else, shapes the direction that their usual push and pull goes: Natori leans into the self-deprecation.]

Well. It's just my fake work, after all. Who cares how I waste it?

[Of course he wasn't. (Director-san is frantically trying to overhear what Matoba is saying, suddenly nervous with the way the energy between them has shifted.) Natori can't even keep his eyes open when he kisses unless a scene explicitly calls for it; he's not going to create a record of him going so much further and leave it behind in an ayakashi's hands. The honest truth of how he ended up in this production is: he was snooping around the set when the crew showed up and the director desperately latched onto having Natori in his production. Natori played along to get a closer look at the equipment, because it struck him as deeply unusual for a bunch of ayakashi to have access to such expensive cameras and gear, and he wanted to see how they'd interact. And, of course, it took very little effort on his part, so long as he kept being a tease.]

[laserguy]

[Somehow, every other space has mostly been taken and he's not about to squeeze into a seat that's already occupied by two people. Yeah, no, feels like something that would just lead to him getting squished and... he's kind of tired for stuff like that right now. So, there's appreciative look that flashes on the teen's face, Scott taking the offer to sit down next to Ivan in a manner that's mostly respectable.

Kind of squished, because that's how this place is, but he'll offer his bag of popcorn?? The mutant plots it between them anyway, before leaning forward a little to watch the movie with a low amount of interest.

He's kind of glad for the conversation instead.]

Huh? [Some genuine curiosity.] Are you saying that you're used to acting in movies?

took me 3 days to remember the username ;;

[lashesout]

[On the other side of the trailer, hands crossed, naked save for some kind of sheer towel wrapped around her torso that cuts off just above her thigh, Meg is having a staredown contest with one of the owls, and battling with the urge to just reach out through the window and grab it by its throat and choke the life out of it.

Her eyes glance Zagreus' way once, then return to stare at the Peeping Tom.]

You're finally awake. [...] Will you rat me out if I kill this thing?

[apothecrazy]

I couldn't say. A few of us have tried getting a count, but that's proven difficult.

SDFSDJn i also love shanks omg

[devilishkouhai]

void space means BB comes from the inexistence of nonexistence itself!!

This bad baby is a girl who shouldn't exist!! Perceive me!!

let me invade into your peripherals!!

the more you witness my demise the more I am allowed to exist!!

Basically, BB is like a Trojan virus you just downloaded - oh, I mean, yeah, I guess she's from that kind of space too. She was basically born from the moon in her uh phenomen theory tree of universes.

dw about that tho u might break your brain w all that

[uptill]

[ That will be a whole conversation! ]

a what? im telling you that i look my age! i bet hiyori would agree with me! everyone would! just ask!

i am not talking like i am not. it's just a way to say things. make it distinct that we are referring to humans! i bet it's different for other things.

yeah. [ What was that dismissive sounding thing the meow meow mage said? Right. ] good luck with that.

[lashesout]

[She could, theoretically, squeeze her legs and thighs strongly enough to remove the head from the shoulders it is attached to, but before she can contemplate more vicious imagery of impending murder, she looks up to catch the stare of the owl-guard.

...which one is pissing her off more?]

What the fuck is that? [She's asking herself more than him.]

[tekkenseisai]

[ She's about to respond to the first half of his statement when the second half comes and throws her back onto her heels. ]

A year?

[ The thought has her reeling ... both for for the larger implications and what it's meant for him personally. ]

Yusuke, I'm so sorry ...

[ He looks so tired ... She can't even imagine what he's been through. ]

[usseewa]

You’d think people would want to work together.
I’m not sure how I can help yet.

[wheft]

Well, that's up in the air. I certainly don't miss doing paperwork. Don't you?

[blastedass]

[what, did leona think he could predict bakugo 100%? HA! fucking lazy lion! he'll be throwing curve balls at your face until the day everyone goes back home! and no, he wasn't expecting him to spring out like a cartoon balloon on a damn pin. it's just a finger. leona's probably had a lot bigger in there.

though a lack of response at all does piss him off! eyes blank, jaws set, vein throbbing, brows jutting at angles. this shitty bastard barely even flinched?! he knows he wasn't asleep, dammit!

cause maybe leona got too lazy to live?]

I'LL SHOVE MY HAND UP THERE AND BLAST YOUR DAMN ASS OUT THE TRAILER!!

[how's that for a suggestion? at least he got leona to admit he was awake. the mild annoyance on his face is a tiny reward. enough bakugou doesn't pay attention when he starts moving his finger back and forth inside, stroking over hot, slick walls and searching for a certain spot he knows is in there...]

dolled up;

[laserguy]

I'm not frowning!

[Scott says, while frowning. Also, is he whining? Is the future leader of the X-Men making a fuss about having makeup dolled on him? MAYBE... it's just a whole lot! And he's never worn makeup before! What's wrong with his face anyway?! Not that he's saying that there's anything wrong with anyone's faces, but...! He's just a little tense in the seat, the only reason why he's not fully fighting on this is because he doesn't want to get Hiyori in trouble.

Not to mention that the resort would probably find a way to drag him back here anyway. Although, that means he probably should make this easier on the other, but some reactions just can't be helped.]

How much do you have to do anyway?

[worldbent]

[It's interesting to hear the appraisal of this situation from the mouth of a god. For as much information as someone with Matoba's power and position could glean on his own, some things were simply instinctual to ayakashi that a human could never hope to perceive, the same way or at all.]

[As to the correction- it takes a bit of self-control not to reply: same thing. But if only just because of what he has revealed.]

Do you reside in the upper plane?

[Talk of the near and far shores- is that what he meant? That gives the exorcist pause. Most kami left now were weaker, the ones that dwell on the Earth, far lower beings than those who had long since turned their eyes and ears from the world of men. None of them were beings who would be called to serve in Takamagahara.]

[Truly, the idea that such a god could even be drawn here... He should continue, tenuously, to be helpful.]

Perhaps. It seems that he is fond of organs and limbs.

[Maybe that could be read as a sarcastic joke. It's not.]

ty past me

[cincture]

[ briefly, sein's eyes flicker back down to the sheet of paper he had hastily stuffed under his foot upon entrance into the confessional. the one that has little more than a few sentences' worth of "setting" information, the one that offers a few lines of dialogue that most assuredly would not work in response to anything she has just thrown at him.

they had told him there would be some improv work, but nobody ever implied it'd be to this extent. ]

Uh. [ off to a great start, very convincing. ] I'm real.

[ as if suddenly unsure, he glances down at himself, only to be reminded he's in an outfit he's never seen before, presumably the kind of thing a "priest" is meant to be wearing... but apparently that term has far more interpretations than he was used to. ]

Are you looking for some kind of certification...?

[ is any of this even sexy??? ]

[paperpusher]

Haha, I see.

[He doesn't assume it's (just) the sex that some people like about this place; he's coming off of a particular moment of vulnerability back home, where he let his guard down for one second and spent a day trapped in an illusion as a result, one where his family was a little more whole and he had someone by his side. There's something freeing about giving in to the relief from the real world, even if it's coming from a malicious source. But no one can live in an illusion forever.]

Well, I'm glad that some people are able to find the silver lining. But it's really not a good idea to leave something like this unchecked if you can stop it.

[but "this hotel is probably feeding off of you every second that you spend here" is a real bummer of a thing to say in a text message, when 1) it's not like he's got any confirmation for that and 2) it's not like saying that will do anything. so, soft pedaling it!]

But it is kind of you to take the pressure off ✨

[fuckin nailed it.]

[intertwinedfates]

[Clutching the woman's legs a little too tightly, Yato shakes his head between her legs and shivers. It's a little chilly in here in just a robe and boxers, and frankly the owl-headed person is more than a little unnerving. Those unblinking eyes...]

Oversized chicken... [He mutters mostly to himself, as well, though the owl answers back this time.]

We're owls, hoo!

[Making a face at the fact the thing with a beak can actually talk, he hides behind her leg.]

This is a dream. A really, really weird dream... I'll wake up any minute, I'm sure of it...

[shanksyourfeels]

"You find a way. Or you make connections, people you trust, to help you in those moments," Shanks points out.

"For example, a Marine and I myself drank a wine which compelled us to tell the truth. Instead of just muttering out whatever secrets bubbled to the surface, we asked each other measured questions and told truths about those items to keep from lying, but, also, to keep from saying more than we wanted."

He was a good, noble soul, too, and Shanks appreciated that.

"We couldn't have known the wine was laced, and we couldn't control the desire to blurt out our secrets, but we could control the direction the confessions went. And he turned out to be a reliable partner in that instance."

[wheft]

[ holy shit, delinquent broca.... somehow the image fits him as a former mafioso yet at the same time kind of not? he seems to be one of those gentle giants. a gentle, brain-empty giant with cat ears.

maybe that's why he's been assigned with the role as a flunky. wack. ]

Ah, I get it. Interrogations, right? Or are you usually the one in charge of torturing captors until they talk?

[ things like waterboarding (not the sexy kind) (also who brings up torture before a porno flick, damn) ]

[softstoneheart]

I like planning projects more, but doing paperwork is kinda soothing. I know I'm in the minority, though.

I guess having a work plan's kinda moot when you're here. Is it going ok for you?

Beautiful, Senpai & kouhai match, then

[shanksyourfeels]

So! There are people on the moon? I've been wondering about that for a while.

As for existing, you do, regardless, so whether or not you should is irrelevant.

Not sure I understand all of this, no, but my brain isn't broken.

Would you like to try again to break it?

[apothecrazy]

Not everyone cares so much about working together.

[rhapsodical]

no way
it's not that big of a deal
more importantly
do you treat everyone you meet like this?

[intertwinedfates]

[For a god to find himself in such a situation is definitely unusual by any standards, that's for sure. Normally he wouldn't have been caught in such a trap if the circumstances were typical day-to-day situations. It takes a lot to sneak up on a god for one, and a hell of a lot to trap one for another.

The terminology might be different, but then again, if they're from different places as well, that means there could be important distinctions. He's not sure if that's the case, but it's safe to assume so.]

Eh, teeeechnically I can? But I'm more an earthbound god, and have been all my life. I only recently was admitted to the Heavens.

[They're probably talking about the same thing, or at least the same general ideas, but Yato can't help using the terminology that he's accustomed to out of habit. Gods are creatures who are slow to change, even if they're adaptable. Stubborn, you might say.]

Ugh, seriously? That's definitely some high stakes there... Not sure I wanna wager anything that serious for a shot at getting a weapon. I know that in most gambling dens, the games are rigged in favor of the house

[Given they're expected to fuck their way to freedom, he can absolutely believe this place would deal in body parts as well.]

. . . hang on. Let me try something.

[with brows knitted together, Akira reaches out to tug against the buckle of the shoe closest to him. with how badly Minato was struggling, he expects a bit of resistance!! but instead. . . the strap slips free of the metal clasp with just the lightest of touches, allowing the shoe to fall away, giving Minato plenty of room to wiggle his be-socked toes]

[. . .]

[AKIRA SIGHS]

Minato. . .

[a dramatic pause]

You need to level up your shoe game.

[AKIRA DON'T TEASE!!! YOU KNOW IT'S NOT MINATO'S FAULT!!]
