[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!

[ she's been making plenty of exceptions as of late, and a large one has definitely been in playing nice with the presence of all these shinra men, but sometimes exceptions can be taken too far, like being expected to play out something like this with reno, of all people. ]

Took the words right out of my mouth, because I'm not doing this with you.

[ she's already spinning on her heel, a move that would be more confident were it not for the way the underwear exposes her entire bare ass beneath the shorts transparent veil that hangs from the straps of the panties. but as she takes just a few minor steps, there's a sudden click as the array of set lights flicker on, adjusting the lighting upon the set to highlight a brighter beam upon the bed, it becomes more than clear that their protests aren't about to be heard.

tifa comes to another stop, turning to look upon the set with a deeper frown. ]

Are you kidding me? They're really expecting us to— [ she curls her fists, nails digging a bit into her palms as she faces reno again, tension tight in her knit brow. ] There's ways out of this, right?

[wheft]

[ so it's not just her? damn. ishmael knows this is all pretend, but she's going to play up the jealousy factor anyway to make it spicier for the audience. ]

If anything, I should be asking if there's anything I can help you with. You've been away for so long, after all.

[ maybe red was on a leave or something. ye, let's go with that. she leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially into red's ear. ]

I just don't want you to think of anyone else but me, ma'am.

[maladie]

[When the man turns to look behind him, Vanitas points straight at him so he knows exactly who the intended target of the request is. Of all the people walking around (and there weren't that many), he was the only one to respond, so suddenly Vanitas' wardrobe malfunctions were now his problem as well. He'll apologize later.]

Yes. [He glances over Keita's outfit, not sure if those were his normal clothes or a costume, but ultimately decides to hold the door open while taking a step back to let him inside.] Is this a normal thing here? That would make a lot of sense.

[Vanitas shakes Keita's hand, using it to pull him in and shut the door behind him.] Thank you. I can't get any of this off. [In truth the only pressing matter is the top he has on. Filled with buckles he can't reach or get a hold of to undo, the rest isn't as uncomfortably restricting.]

Do you need help as well?

[rhapsodical]

[ On the flip side, after so many years spent in cahoots with Beatrix, Zeta looks right at home amidst all the bottles of foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow and more. She's in the middle of squinting at particularly vivid shade of lipstick in bold cherry red, but looks up with a smile at the other woman's approach. ]

Sure. Do you know what kind of look you're supposed to go for? Something more natural or a bolder look?

[ Something suddenly seems to hit her and she brightens. ]

Ooh, do you have your costume picked out already? It'll be easier to match your makeup to your outfit if I can see it first.

[rhapsodical]

like i said it's not a big deal
don't most people do that at some point or another anyway

[indigently]

[ Kaveh laughs at that, and shakes his head. The stranger sharing is seat is probably right—after all, most of the "actors" he came across between films were people just like him: hapless guests of the resort named actors for a day, and most without experience in the actual craft.

Which...

Actually, considering this particular premiere is for one of his films, and that the man next to him doesn't seem to care about how he words his insults...

His nose wrinkles. ]

I don't think the acting was what really mattered to them, in the end. This place being what it is, they just wanted as many tools to get people off as possible. Which... you know. No surprise.

[ He brandishes the note from his swag bag at the platinum-haired man even as the second bag is offered to him—something that makes him laugh and shake his head before he can figure out exactly what he wants to say about the resort's plans for them. ]

No... no, I'm fine, thank you. One is... more than enough.

[ Besides, having been here as long as he has, he's amassed something of a collection of sex toys from moments just like this. ]

Anyway, if my acting is terrible... sorry. I'm not actually an actor.

[redhairedturk]

[This is one of these rare moments in which he really hates this resort. Funny how that almost only ever happens when he's with someone from Midgar, and not with anyone else.

To be fair, as he watches her leave, she really doesn't look too bad, overall. Considering she's a woman, he can still appreciate her curves and how the outfit accentuates basically all of it in just the right places.
However, it's still Tifa, and there are so many issues between them, Reno doesn't even begin to start to list them all.
So no, he's probably not even gonna get it up if he has to do this with her.

And then the resort makes it once again so very obvious that they don't have much say in anything that is happening, and he's throwing up his hands in frustration.]

Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me!

[the frustration is audible, and there is still a glare in his eyes as he looks back at Tifa, though he's not sure if he's more angry about the resort putting them in this situation, or everything going on between them.]

I don't know. So far I didn't have to think about backing out of any of these.
But sorry, you're not really my type.

indie project 🖤

[saults]

[ though tifa had definitely enjoyed her time visiting that beach back in costa del sol, there's absolutely nothing about this that sparks much joy of "basking in the sun", considering aforementioned sun is nothing more than a film light that's beaming much too brightly, doing double work in the way the heavy bulbs actually make the set that much warmer as if they really are out there in hot weather.

even the bathing suit is familiar, being exactly what she'd worn on that real beach those months ago, though with the intentions for it being much different than before, it almost doesn't feel quite as comfortable as it had back then. especially when she knows she might not be meant to actually be wearing it for long, or at least not properly.

there is a brief moment of joy when she arrives on the set though, distracted for a moment when she sees a familiar face. ]

Red, hey! It's been a little while, huh? [ she only manages a quick greeting before the prompter begins to hover closer, regaining her attention in what they're supposed to be doing here. ] Oh, um ... [ she sits down back on the stretched blanket upon the fake sand, leaning back on her hands and bending her knees to press her feet flat down as she spreads her thighs apart, the angle showing off the bikini bottom beneath an excessively short skirt. she purses her lips, trying her best to read the line with a flirtatious edge. ] "Actually, I'm ... not really good at swimming, so — I thought you could give me some lessons on how well you can hold your breath."

Good, because you're hardly mine.

[ maybe she's meant to be insulted that he doesn't consider her his type, but actually, she finds it to be something of a relief. tifa's been far too used to being a type with plenty of lecherous eyes peering over her body, imagining the kind of fantasies that must be swirling in those brains, that for once she's glad that someone (especially someone she doesn't like) isn't looking at her through a veil of lewd thoughts.

the only problem is that the resort doesn't actually seem to care and the lack of those self-imagined fantasies doesn't seem to prevent them from wanting them to perform them anyway. ]

What would they even expect us to—? [ her eyes fall back onto the bed, suddenly realizing something she'd missed before — a red strap harness with an equally deep crimson dildo already secured onto it, seemingly having blended with the rose petals before for her to not have noticed. the only time she's seen that kind of toy, it had been used on her, in the company of women, which makes it that much more peculiar to see it now. it's not like she's seen reno naked to know the kind of parts his body has, but she still has a gut feeling he'd hardly need to use one of those. so why would — oh.

her mouth gapes, shoulders sinking as she looks back to reno, raising her hand to point in the direction of the strap. ] Don't tell me they — am I supposed to use that on you?

[dudevorce]

I guess I'd better letcha off the hook then. For now.

[ Until she least expects it... and then the sexy lizard makeup is making its grand debut.

He covers the entirety of her face in the white, using a sponge to dab it in when it starts to look a little bit too brush stroke-y. It leaves her with some weird pockmark craters, but he's riding high on inspiration here. Not even some bad preparation can get in the way of his genius. ]

Like your... littermates?

[ Taking a stab in the dark. He has no idea what dog girls would call their siblings. He assumes she must have 40 of them. ]

Before I got here, the only time I'd see people with ears and tails were people in costume. Now I kinda feel a little naked without 'em.

[massochism]

[Olivine doesn't think he'll ever not be envious if how easy Reno makes it seem. It isn't the first time it's occurred to him how lean his experience with flirting is, no matter how much he's grown these past few years.

That is to say watching Reno tease the vibrator leaves him throbbing in anticipation, a whine on his lips.]

Mmnh... [one step at a time. His weight shifts again, face drawing close to Reno's, corner of his lips barely brushing the shaft of the toy where it's held between them.] What is there to taste here...? You already forced your tongue on me, and this toy wouldn't taste like anything, would it?

You'll have to make me understand, devil. I have no reason to admit anything...♡

[memori3s]

[ No one's ever truly "all right" at the Golden Peacock, but, ]

Yeah.

[ There is one thing that makes these unfortunate circumstances a little more bearable. ]

He has people looking out for him.

[ Perhaps the concern wasn't just due to waking up in a suspicious trailer, but also due to any information imparted to Makoto through her watch. Minato would also be concerned for any of his old teammates after learning they'd landed someplace encouraging physical intimacy like there's no tomorrow. ]

[icequeenly]

You haven't been roped into appearing in any actual scenes yet then?

[ The house wouldn't expect him to do both, surely? Actually, now that she thinks about it that definitely seems like something they would expect, having someone double as a makeup artist and an extra on this shoddy production. ] Casting all of us with similar hair colour to play a specific kind of elf seems like something they might be inclined to do.

[ For aesthetic reasons. Gotta make the backgrounds of those porn scenes look visually appealing after all. Because that's definitely what the audience is going to be looking at.

She watches him make swatches and so far so good. The fact that he knows to actually match to her skin tone is a very good start. ]

I hope that too. [ Really. ] I'm sure you'll do just fine.

[memori3s]

[ There's a small whiff of anxiety at Red's last statement. It's gone fairly quickly though as Minato nods to try and cover that up. ]

There hasn't been anything too weird since then.

[ Speaking of being a little out of it though, ]

...I haven't heard anything strange either, so... I think you were right.

[ Definitely the resort messing with his head. But if that was the case, why hadn't it affected Red in the same way? ]

[redhairedturk]

Tsk. I'm everybody's type,

[he rolls his eyes, but in this case doesn't really mind it either. Also he usually doesn't mind those hungry looks, but he's also playing right into it all most of the time and very comfortable with enjoying himself with other men.
Though even he could see how that would be a different thing for a woman and especially one with a body like hers. It just .. does nothing for him, really.

And yet the resort expects them to perform, no matter their personal preferences.
So he shrugs, knowing just as much as Tifa does about how they are supposed to get through this, but he still follows where she points and turns his head to take a closer look at the bed ...
Oh.
Yeah. Okay.
So that's how they wanna play it?

He turns back to her, and shrugs.]

We all got our preferences. Looks like they at least somewhat remembered mine.

[redhairedturk]

[Another low laugh rumbles through Reno's chest as his free hand slips around Olivine's shoulder, the other still holding the vibrator that he's still caressing with his tongue.]

Well. Don't they say you priests are always on your knees? Maybe you should start and worship something else in this place.
Something that tastes a lot better than this piece of plastic~

[And his hand slides down Olivine's arm and grabs his wrist to push his hand right under those few almost see through layers that Reno is wearing, between his spread legs to let him feel his hard cock and already well lubed hole.]

[saults]

[ the roll of her own eyes moves in parallel with his with that declaration of him being everybody's type. it's not that reno's unattractive, but his attitude is probably more than enough to sour any potential interest anyway (if being a part of shinra weren't already enough of a dealbreaker). she's found men she enjoys herself in the company of, and it's certainly not anyone like reno. ]

Clearly not, if they stuck you here with me.

[ it's hard to tell if the rejection in not being reno's "type" is simply because she's a woman or more specifically because she's tifa (or a mixed blend of the two), but it seems evident enough at least that the harnessed dildo is being supplied because she lacks a certain body organ he enjoys having inside of him.

she scoffs, spinning on her heel once more as she steps fast towards the entry door behind the set that had brought her in the first place, giving it a firm push — and finding it locked as expected. not that she expected such an easy exit, but it was worth trying at least. stepping back to the main setup of the production's bedroom, she tries to peer past the lights, confirming that it really is just the two of them here, no bodies around to complain to.

they really do have to do this, don't they?

crossing her arms, she looks to the bed again, at that prepared toy, also now noticing the bottle of lube presented beside it. she takes a long moment to consider, staring holes into those supplies before she exhales a deeper breath. ]

If you turned around on your knees without looking at me, would it help?

[dilettante]

( the entire scene is truly overwhelming for someone like reira— caught in the middle of a shoot she had no intention in being in, clung onto tightly by a vampire, and now feeling a twinge of guilt over her words. she couldn't see that tell-tale mark of aurelia's suit being activated, but this wasn't the first time someone's actions towards her had been influenced by the resort in some way or another.

so while she wasn't the brightest person around, it didn't take her long to realize that— especially given how her own suit was on the brink of activating as well. so when the other stepped away and the director began to tell reira to start acting, she simply sighed and brushed her hands over her short bangs and looked at the other. )

I wasn't being rude, I just didn't realize what was happening. You're not, I'm sorry. Let's start over again shall we? I'll act in the film, it's okay.

( not that she was particularly eager too, but as a high ranking individual she knew very well all eyes were on her at all times— even if she often forgot about this little fact. )

when your own education can be used for rp .. lol

[redhairedturk]

Oh, I have been starred in quite some productions at this point,

[he shrugs, not ashamed to admit it, or hiding that he's having fun with this.
And hell, he doesn't even mind playing makeup artist all that much, it's just not what he expected to end up doing.]

Hmm, so far I wasn't cast as an elf, but I can see us both ending up as demons or something like that. At least, that would be a hot pair,

[he chuckles as he reaches for a clean brush and starts to apply the foundation in thin layers, gently guiding her face into the directions that he needs her in]

But it's not like we have a lot of say in anything they "cast" us in, right? What's the worst so far that you had to do?

bats my lashes at u. thanks for the food. dw abt length.. setup things. yk how it is

[nintendog]

( while demons don't necessarily exist in her world, something adjacent does. monsters are born of corpses, shambling and hungry, but at least they remain corporeal and stay in the bodies that they already had rather than take on another. dealing with the kinds that look like any other person is hard enough as it is - to have to worry about it jumping hosts is a whole set of problems she's glad she doesn't have to contend with.

all that to say, she most certainly shot the writer and director a sharp look when she realizes exactly what role it was she was meant to fill. she'd be a natural, they'd said, and they're lucky to be civilians in more ways than one.

the hand lifted has her narrowing her gaze, stopped halfway with another question that has her testing the binds on her wrists with another forceful tug. the lining on the underside is a small mercy - she would've dug the metal raw into her skin just then.

it doesn't help that she's the sort of girl that gets angry when embarrassed, and the sheer of this excuse of a babydoll isn't helping matters in the slightest. even for a girl that loves attention, this is a bit different!? especially when she can't do much about it except stay laid out on the plush of her bed like a spread at dinner.

the snarl she takes to is genuine - although the fluster and pink cuts down most if its edges - annoyed at having been interrupted. running her mouth is one of her many talents and she's glad that the production team can at least let her keep agency over it. possibly because they're afraid she might just crucify them after filming if they did, but that's irrelevant. )

Has anyone ever told you it's rude to cut someone off like that? ( not that she offered him much space to speak up since his entry, ) Maybe you should be the one tied down instead.

( you know, so she can drill manners into him herself? )

Why don't you come here and undo these things, huh? Maybe then you'll see my point when you take my place!

( since he won't listen to her complain and all!! )

[dilettante]

"No it's alright, I mean this place is very weird.", she said softly as she watched the other set aside the toy with what little light was in the theater. While she personally wasn't too disturbed by the sexual nature of the resort, that didn't mean she came from a world where such debauchery was the norm by any means—

in fact, she was a celebrity and needed to keep her own profile low given the situation. Despite the laughter though, she clearly seemed worried enough about the potential newcomer [a fact quickly affirmed by Uta shortly]. At least enough to try and help her a bit with any questions she might have had.

"Oh yeah I've been here for a few months now, four maybe? It's hard to keep track of time when everything is.....kinda built to keep you from the outside world right?", she said. While her voice was softer now, she failed to realize how disturbing that might be for someone who just arrived. Unfortunately Uta would come to discover that on her own given the artificial sky that acted as the ceiling to this place.

[dilettante]

wait you're a dragon? how does that work??

and I guess not, but you know how this place is. that's so cool, so do you like have scales?

( unfortunately he wasn't going to get the deepest conversation here, but at least she wasn't trying to hit on him. )

[crowjobs]

( he just might, maybe, a little bit, exhale a small chuckle from his nose. he appreciates her candor. as much as he doesn't particularly want company right now, he thinks he can manage just fine with her. not that he's going to sit here and have a heart to heart with anyone or anything like that, but perhaps a conversation to take his mind away from this miserable place. ( because running away isn't an option, it never is for sylus. he's no coward. )

his gaze slips to look down at himself and his costume and lifts an arm to watch the fabric billow slightly. )

I can't say it's my style. ( his arm drops back to his side and his brow twitches slightly as he looks over her own costume. ) Don't think it's yours, either.

( no, someone like manuela is meant to be draped in rich, luxurious fabrics and dripping in gems and gold. but, that's just his opinion.

anyway.

he makes a gesture to the cave around them. )

Had my plan been to get you alone, I'd say it worked in my favor.

( subject avoidance? why, yes! )

[redhairedturk]

[To be fair, he can be flirty and even somewhat nice towards people he actually wants to seduce. The Avalanche girl, however? No, not really.
Besides the fact that it still irks him that he knows Rude has a crush on her, is she simply the personification of everything that annoys him in Midgar.
Then again, even Cloud had been a good fuck after a few times, so who knows, maybe he can really just close his eyes and pretend it's someone else.

Her attempts of opening the door are almost adorable, but he already figured that it would be pointless to try, so he's still lingering in his place, but also not willing to step closer to the bed just yet.
He wonders if the cameras are already rolling, or if they just magically spring into action once they are "ready to go".

He gives her another nonchalant shrug, pretending like he doesn't care about any of this, but the glare in his eyes and the spite in his voice still betray him bitterly.]

Whatever makes it feel better for you, princess.

[crowjobs]

( well, that's weirdly concerning. is he stuck in here with some kind of psychopath? not that it'd be the first time, probably, but sylus doesn't really want to deal with a rogue bogey while in nothing but a robe. he could, most likely, but he doesn't want to right now. so, he just sighs heavily and leans back, crossing his arms over his chest.

pouting? maybe. )

I wasn't even here yesterday. Seems I woke up— ( a pause, he looks down in annoyance ) like this.
