[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!

[WHO IS MONEYGRUBBER? SHOULD HE BE OFFENDED?? . . . eh!]

A guy's got to make a living, right?

[he jokes, of course. he is not about to charge her two thousand chips to help with her makeup artistry]

back with an entirely different experience (?) - 1

[ashioki]

[ somehow, despite his best attempts at staying behind the camera, oushi does indeed find himself landing a role after all. it makes some sense, though — for this scene, they had needed someone believable as Just a Guy. and oushi, for all that he is plain and kind of mundane, just so happens to exhibit that aura perfectly. ]

Hey everyone.

[ at least he's familiar with this guy of thing unlike my other guy he himself had engaged in a little bit of streaming, in that short summer between high school and his first semester of college. he'd even managed to amass a small following, a little less than a hundred, which is not much at all but also not an insignificant number from a guy just goofing around, playing video games. ]

My name's Daisuke. Tati here told me he could use some help with today's stream.

[ he had been given fairly straightforward directions, and so he waits an appropriate amount of time before feigning surprise, supposedly at something someone in the chat must have said. ]

...Oh? Didn't you all know? Yeah, Tati and I go way back. Since we were still waddling around in our diapers.

[ ah, yes, that's fairly believable, isn't it? childhood friends who mess around. absolutely nothing to see here, just two guys being pals, occasionally touching dicks. y'know — normal stuff.

he walks around the large gamer chair tomura has plunked himself into, till he stands just within frame, but now it's mostly his profile in view. he reaches for the arm rest, maneuvering the chair to swivel and face him better. ]

Tati, you should've told me you were into stuff like this. [ he looks to the other man now, brows lifting as the beginnings of a teasing smirk play at his lips. playing the cocky, if somewhat aloof childhood friend? this much, he can do well enough. ] Is that why you enjoyed all our sleepovers so much?

[maipokerface]

Less "action" in the role then?

[Hey she gets it, being the lead in something like this has to mean you're more involved in the way these films seem to like.

Plus she's just looking to see what rise she gets out of the other woman to be honest.]

[maipokerface]

I guess the 'stuck in a weird horny hotel' pretty much sums it up.

[Ah whatever. Mai sighs out but manages a faint smile. She's a lot better at doing that nowadays.]

Name's Mai, how about you?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . Akira's next response is quiet, but firm. his words are tight, full of barely concealed indignation, mirroring Makoto's own open frustration. but he tries to restrain himself; to not let that anger show too much. his own rage burns cold and quiet, especially when he is trying to be a steady, soothing force for a newly arrived friend]

And we have no reason to have any faith in our kidnappers at all.

[if anything, he thinks they've been given every reason in the world to believe the house will do anything within its power to keep them here. the resort is clad in a thin veneer of wealth and luxury, but. . . underneath that layer of gold is something sinister]

. . . I'm not going to let this place trap us forever. But there is one thing I want to do before we escape.

[his fingers curl tightly around her shoulders, jaw set]

I want to tear this place down to the ground.

[brick by golden brick]

[tweelight]

[ The image of Vanitas going chipmunk mode down there would probably be amusing... for everyone but Twilight, anyway. The 'dark lord' hunches over further and further in his throne, gripping the arms white-knuckled. This is all happening so quickly, it's overwhelming... and it's enjoyable in the most immediate sense, but his faltering attempts to keep his composure - whether for himself or the camera, he couldn't really say anymore - are getting in the way of really appreciating it. Whether he is dominant or ought to be isn't something he's had the chance to think on in those terms, but he does know this feels awfully undignified. ]

Slow... slow down-

[ He finally abandons his character and his pride to beg for mercy, but the result is the same whether Vanitas shows mercy or goes for the kill - he waited too long. A shudder runs through his body as he starts to come, from his tensed shoulders right down to the cock Vanitas' holds Atlas-like above the earth.

It... sure goes on for a while, Twilight making a whining noise somewhere between pleasure and embarrassment. At least Vanitas is safe below, too close to get drenched by the monster-sized load. ]

[survivaltricks]

[WHAT A VERY STRANGE WAY TO ENCHANT CLOTHING. . . Akira wiggles his own stockinged toes once his boot is removed, before drawing that foot back and gladly presenting Minato with the other]

Shorter sleeves, huh. . . is it too hot?

[a wrinkled nose. he supposes if he is being honest, the leather of this cop outfit is pretty warm, too. not yet uncomfortable, but close! a little too close]

[. . .]

[ah. wait. if they both needed help removing each other's shoes, then--]

-- oooooh, I see what these costumes want us to do.

[A BIT EXAPSERATED, BUT WITH AMUSEMENT. . . he can't believe it took him this long to figure it out. . . the resort wants them to strip each other]

[sexily]

[tweelight]

The hair, obviously... I look a little more intense, too. Did you darken around my eyes, maybe?

[ What he's seeing is either nothing or his carefully suppressed stress at being separated from the usual familiar - and it must be said, coddling- setting of his home and retainers. ]

[ashioki]

[ they manage to wrangle him down for a role after all. something about lack of staff, even though oushi is pretty sure there are loads of people ready to leap into these roles, but it was a little hard to say as much while he was being manhandled into his seat by the makeup artist and stylist.

honestly, they didn't do much. stuff him into an equally frilly and billowy shirt, but one considerably oversized to make him appear even smaller and slighter than he already is. they hadn't even bothered with pants, instead letting him wander into the set in a pair of anachronistic boxer-briefs, though he had been assured that this particular scene wasn't expecting anything too sexual... just some bloodplay, as a treat. oushi isn't even entirely sure what that meant, but he can pretty much guess from context clues, and somehow getting bled is still a lot easier to stomach than having his dick out in front of a camera.

the blindfold had been a surprise, though.

it probably should've bothered him more, but as it stands oushi can't really focus on anything else but the sensation of the other man's hands on his leg... and the heat starting to curl deep in his belly with every passing second.

vaguely, he thinks of the bonbon the stylist had handed him, right before shooing him off to the set. something to help calm your nerves, she'd said, and she looks so sweet about it that oushi didn't even think twice. ]

Both things can be true, [ he grunts in response, definitely veering off-script here. his character is supposed to play coy, demure, but ostensibly incredibly into it. granted, oushi isn't refusing anything here, but his nerves are pretty much at the forefront, though his short, humid breaths are growing more and more labored by the second. ]

[memori3s]

[ Truly, no memories then... ]

Your mark -- you said something was weird about it...?

[ Hopefully Red doesn't mind all these questions, but Minato's truly asking them out of concern!! ]

“More if you were going to now, not if you did.” She frowns a bit, but decides not to push much further. If he decides to masturbate in public, well how was she to stop him? This place, as he’s so wonderfully put it, would encourage the display. It’s not even for a sense of modesty that she dreads it! She just hasn’t done much of anything, and it’s just a little daunting getting started with casual sex.

When he guesses that she’s new, she speaks up again. “Well, yeah but—“ She tries to defend herself but she stops. Because what is there to defend? She sighs, leaning her head back against the plush headrest. “I’ve been warned about this place.”

She at least doesn’t have to get another warning.

“Have you been here long?” She asks quietly, genuinely curious. He could have just arrived as well for all she knew!

[Rin, broom in hand as she "sweeps the temple steps" stops cold when she hears Miko's voice. Her whole body going rigid like a prey animal absolutely convinced that if she doesn't move the predator won't see her.

For the most part she's dressed much the same as Yae Miko. Her kosode uncharacteristically cut to show more skin, and the typical hakamas replaced with offensively flirty pleated skirts.]

No trouble.

[Defensive. An octave too high. Something is clearly amiss. Will the high priestess sniff it out?]

[ideates]

[ although they've met a couple of times by now, blade wouldn't say that he has a deep understanding of rin and her personality—yet even he can tell, as he steps into the office and lets the door close behind him, that both her appearance and her expression are more severe than her usual. she fits the part well, he thinks, either an excellent actor or aided by the costume she's wearing. her voice is sharp, commanding, and something in blade feels compelled to respond to that tone.

he steps forward to her desk and lowers his chin to his chest, putting his hands behind his back. it feels strange, too submissive for his personality but suitable, perhaps, for the role he's being expected to play. ]

I'm sorry, [ he says, a bit more convincingly than before. ] It was my mistake, I should have...

[ what was the mistake, again? ]

—Shouldn't have procrastinated the report, [ blade corrects himself after a moment. ] It won't happen again.

[ oushi pauses by the foot of the bed, momentarily entranced by the sheer amount of pillows adding to its height. up until now, the most lavish bedorom he'd ever seen was izumi's extensive plushie collection, but even the sheer amount of beanie babies couldn't hold a candle to this set design. there's four posters to the bed, too, upon which a gauzy sheet falls, occasionally rustling via an air source he could not possibly begin to place.

indeed, he feels a little chill crawl up his spine just now, but it's equally as possible that has nothing to do with the air conditioning, and all to do with the way the girl on the bed looks at him like he's some kind of new toy for her to play with.

somehow, the indignation that fills him with makes all of this a little easier to push through. yeah, he still isn't looking anywhere near her face or her chest. they cling, instead, to the horns sprouting up from her hairline. if he squints, they look kind of like handlebars.

...

actually, no, he's not going to think of them that way, thanks. ]

I'm haven't even started yet and you already have complaints?

[ yes, good, just hold onto that annoyance. he moves to stand closer to the bed, settling his knapsack down so he can relieve his shoulder of all that weight. the variety of items in the bag clutter noisily, and one vibrant pink dildo tumbles out from the open flap. oushi chooses to ignore that, too. ]

Take it up with the director if you hate it to so much.

[memori3s]

It looks like it, yeah.

[ Minato averts his eyes. He's done staring for now, though does catch the way Scott's costume clings to him like a second skin. Maybe the stuff maid uniform isn't so bad after all...

He turns on his heel and takes a couple steps away before gesturing for Scott to follow. ]

There were changing rooms in the back. We can do it there.

[ By "do it there," he means helping each other out of their enchanted costumes, of course! And then he's off, weaving between racks of hanging outfits as he makes his way towards those changing rooms. ]

[memori3s]

[ Makoto gets a shake of the head out of Minato. ]

Doesn't seem like it.

[ Even now, Minato doesn't quite understand the way suit marks worked. They had the ability to affect a person's mood, even their their thoughts, but the effects seemed to vary from person to person. ]

You'll get a mark that helps you see how frequently you need to have sex. But some people try to stay ahead of it by doing it regularly with people they're comfortable with.

[ Otherwise... a person might find themselves in an unfavorable or unfortunate situation.

For now, Minato goes back to digging around until he pulls a couple other things out of the pile: a blue and white raglan shirt and a pair of shorts. Good enough for now.

He returns heads back to Makoto and holds both out to her. ]

This is all I have right now, but... you can borrow these if you want to look around outside.

[redfortune]

Really?

[ She seems a little skeptical, but she's not lashing out at him. She's just disbelieving. Her nose wrinkles and then she tries to relax, remembering he's still going at her with the makeup. She clears her throat. ]

I've got way too much going on home to take a vacation. And if I wanted to take a break, I wouldn't want to be stuck in a weird hotel that was trying to get me to have sex with everyone.

[ Her lips curve in a scowl. ]

It's stupidly invasive.

[redfortune]

Irene Red. Just call me Red.

[ She offers her hand for a shake. ]

Welcome to the madhouse. You'll... get used to it.

[redfortune]

I feel like it's changed... or maybe I'm just imagining things.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Nothing to worry about, I guess. It's just another thing this place is doing to fuck with me, probably.

[usseewa]

Uta has the slightest bit of dread at the idea of it all, but he’s right. There wasn’t much they could do about it now but handle it as best they could when it starts to affect them. If it starts to affect them.

She brushes herself off, the dirt coming off cleanly (or as cleanly as it could), only leaving a small bit of dust behind. Satisfied with her efforts she glances up as he mentions that the didn’t have to pick flower. The display was interesting, unsure of what he was doing before he showed off the projection. She can’t help but be amazed, grinning brightly.

“That’s amazing!” And certainly made things easier for them. Not having to bring the flower with them and continually inhale the pollen was a plus.

There is something familiar about him she can’t put her finger on, has felt it for a while but she can’t seem to place it. Hs be, his gentlemanly appearance and nature...well it was no matter for now. He was kind and that helps ease her mind of what the House would make them do.

She smiles softly as she takes the offered arm. “Yeah, I’m sure someone must know.”

Someone must.

“So… have you been here long?” She asks after a moment.

[tekkenseisai]

[ She appreciates his efforts to calm her, because she needs that reassurance right now ... but seeing Akira's righteous anger is centering in its own way. It's the sort of determination she's used to seeing in him, and the rest of the Phantom Thieves, during the push to infiltrate a Palace and steal someone's twisted desires. Seeing it now is grounding; it helps frame the problems they're facing now in a similar light -- as a challenge that they can overcome together, just like they have before.

[ She nods, meeting his eyes with that same resolve. ]

I agree completely.

[ Whoever controlled the resort was willing to abduct, manipulate, and coerce people to further their own ends. Whatever that final goal actually was, their methods spoke to their character. There was no reason to trust them, and every person that had been dragged here against their will was a reason to stand against them.

[ With or without her Persona, Makoto was never going to just accept this. ]

[memori3s]

[ No such thing as one too many part-time jobs for a wild card! In any event, the single snap of the camera does give Minato pause. Just one photo? Well, if that's all she needed... ]

Name?

[ Oh... Right, she probably needed that to go along with the photo. Not that it'd make for a particularly interesting or juicy story would it? ]

It's Arisato. Arisato Minato.

[ Maybe he does need to pick up a copy of the papers tomorrow out of curiosity. ]

You're... who? From which paper?

[ Minato straightens with a sigh and smooths out the creases in his white apron. The entire outfit seems to be dubiously high quality... ]

[swordpour]

(as luck would have it, she's not one of the worst to get into more action scenes with. more action and less pornographic material. they're likely not going to be pleased, but it isn't as though she minds. it still was filmed, still caught on camera and everything. they'll likely talk texas into it again another time even if this scene does give her too many reminders of the past. not that she cares to think about it for now, about what if's or about what she could have done differently before her departure from the stage that is siracusa.

siracusa and all of its blood filled history.

whatever the case, she did take it, the suggestion. giving someone a different kind of show in exchange for an actual breather is fine. they'll worry about unhappy staff later, but the paparazzi did seem to get the idea that texas would in fact drive them off alone. so did the bodyguards. she's her own personal bodyguard, she didn't need the extra help once she turns to make her way towards the trailers and elevators.)

Thanks.

(she can say that much, the ice queen demeanor and behavior for her aside. texas knows when to remember those manners that her grandfather had instilled in her, the parts of herself that she couldn't quite scrub away if she tried.)

[edelstein]

[After heaving a sigh Rin leans back. Her eyes rising up to the ceiling where eventually a CGI'd sky will be added in post. It's there her focus stays as her body stretches to show more skin. A different look than the scrunched up and whining little gremlin she was earlier.]

Enchantments, curses, potions. It's all pretty versatile, and simple so it's not too expensive right now. Luck charms, tracking spells for lost items, mood altering potions, and simple visual illusions. I do more than just those, but you get the idea — right?

[edelstein]

Sorry to say, but that's what it takes to survive!
