TDM 009



【 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.
COPYABLE CODE
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 HITSIn 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!

Yeah. The fabric's a little thick.

[ Not to mention, there was the apron, the dress itself, the high-collared blouse with its own slip underneath, gloves and knee-high socks leaving barely an inch of skin exposed... Minato would trade his own outfit for Akira's any day of the week.

Once Akira's other foot lands in his palm, Minato sets to work unzipping the leather boot. He tugs it off and stands it up neatly with the other shoe. ]


...what do you mean?

[ Perhaps if he'd been less peeved about being stuck in something stuffy, he'd make the same logical connection as Akira. But instead, he frowns and cants his head at his company while awaiting the answer.

Very little made sense in the Golden Peacock. And if that's the case, why should there be any rhyme or reason surrounding their enchanted garments? ]

(if he looked closely, there is a bit of a funny circumstance with that. her ears do have red along the fur, even along her hair which is tied back into that ponytail she's wearing. not dyed, but natural. don't ask her how this works, or if anyone else had attempted to dye their fur. she doesn't know about that, unlike, say, a certain former armorless union sniper that had to deal with one of her colleagues dyeing his fur blue to match his partner.

whatever the case, she did blink. huh, she did think he seemed comfortable in that sailor uniform. guess that answered another question, that haru also liked to wear things he likely found cute or fun. nothing wrong with that, she thinks, he did actually look cute in this even if he wasn't her type.)


Most of the time, when I dressed up, it was suits....aside from one outfit that was leaning more into fantasy adventurer that I had.

(dragon slayer, from what they told her. it wasn't a bad one, but it also doesn't fit whatever the hell they're about to make her deal with later from their decision to typecast her in two roles. future worries for future texas while she keeps still for him. the fake tail buttplugs, she near winces. that sounds uncomfortable.)

That sounds like it'd be a problem if you had to sit down, depending. Most of the time, my tail stays out of the way.

[Olivine would find it funny to hear what Reno thinks about his actions—after all, he's finding out quite abruptly how impulsive the priest can be. Would he be shocked to realise how much stamina Olivine has? Maybe not, especially after this.

The truncated words earn a soft hum from him, rumbling against his cock as Reno guides his mouth over it. It makes his own ache between his thighs, throbbing in its prison and wetting his outfit in its anticipation. After all, he knows just how good the toy would feel—or that tail, for that matter—digging deep inside him... and well, he's very good at worship, isn't he?

If you don't mind the impatience, anyway. Olivine's movements are teasing in juxtaposition with the straightforward pace of Reno's tugs, and it's a deliberately overwhelming pace. Somewhere around them, someone behind a camera whispers something about a moneyshot, and several of them move about the altar, practically unheard by Olivine now. He's way too busy trying to drive Reno over the edge right now.]

[ "Lovely Dragon Lady" stirs up some complicated feelings - the fresh wave of embarassment that compliments about her appearance usually bring on, turned up a few degrees by where she was and what she was wearing ... but also a strange sense of satisfaction? A preening delight that she was getting the praise that she deserved?

[ Whatever it was, it was wildly out of line with how she normally felt, and knowing that whatever effect her 'Dragon Lord' costume was having on her was that profound was disconcerting to say the least. There wasn't really much she could do about it right now besides try to shove it to the back of her mind and ignore it, but whether she was able to do that successfully enough to keep herself from blushing was another thing altogether. ]

[ if topaz is feeling any fear at all, she hides it well enough that blade doesn't notice it as he hesitates, then slowly steps up to the place indicated by the sharp angle of topaz's gaze. this is acting—even a non-creative like himself can understand that. and it's for that reason that while blade himself might not be keen to kneel on someone else's command, in the moment he does so without complaint, sinking down onto the carpet and sitting back on his heels. ]

Yes, ma'am.

[ there's to be a punishment, as far as blade understands it. exactly what kind of punishment it will be, he couldn't say, but that's what happens when you sign up for this kind of role, isn't it? and anyway, having struggled somewhat with the premise of the resort, blade needs the assist in keeping away the symptoms of his suit, which in turn seem to aggravate the symptoms of his mara.

he keeps his chin angled down, but glances up at topaz from under the fall of his hair, as if trying to gauge her ire, guess how much trouble he might be in. ]

There is a rare opportunity, here.

It doesn't take an empath --and thank god that's over with-- to realize that Yosuke wasn't expecting this, either. With his Expression being as good as it is, he might just have the upper hand, here. So: he'd better hold onto it.

He doesn't move.

The dare is written in bold letters all over his face.]


And if I don't?

no worries!

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-05-22 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
So just outlasting them works in some cases, huh? Good to know! I'm nothing if not a master of time wasting!

[Not something to be proud of, Yato... Still, at least he seems gung ho about trying to stick it to the man? The rest of what Hiyori has to say comes as something of a relief, too.]

Glad that we still get to maintain some kind of autonomy when it comes to what we have to do here. It would've been pretty damn skeevy if we had absolutely no say in the matter of who we shacked up with. I mean, I'm not all that picky, but I at least like to know that it's something both of us want.

[Considering Yato's full of non-sexual regrets, he sure doesn't need any more of those kind adding to his already heavy burden.]

So I take it you've managed to keep from getting stuck with any unwanted encounters for the most part? That's good-- you seem pretty young. You deserve to have a light conscience that isn't weighed down thanks to some weird resort.

[Having some hang-ups thanks to a friend or partner being here is something Yato could understand even if he himself arrived alone. There's someone special back home who he would've done anything to protect from this kind of place, too, even if it meant staying here longer.

Maybe it's the name, but he likes Hiyori already. The guy's helpful and enthusiastic, providing Yato with plenty of hope for his newfound situation. Maybe a touch prideful, but then, so is he. So no throwing stones here!

And yes, yes he was/is that poor. Sadsack of a god.]


Oh boy~! I'll definitely let you lead the way, in that case. I like to think my sense of fashion is pretty good, but I'm always open to learning more and seeing what kinds of things other people go for. Maybe I can evolve my own style!

[Nodding enthusiastically, he can't help laughing a bit. Yeah, expected but he's not going to lie or downplay the things he likes. That would just be silly.]

Great! I leave it in your capable hands, then, costume master! Your sparkly, shininess is an inspiration that I'll gladly follow!

[For now Yato merely watches with keen interest, noting the things which are passed over and which he seems to linger on, debating. Though he has to do a double take at the kid's name, staring a bit before laughing then waving a hand apologetically.]

Hiyori, huh? I have a friend who goes by that name. Hers is Hiyori Iki, though! Two Hiyoris! What are the chances?

Popular? [Vanitas cocks his head to one side curiously. He can't imagine why vampires might be popular to humans, but maybe he lives in a more advanced society where they've left their historical grievances behind.]

That is very fascinating. What kind of demographics?

[He's already starting to think this is some kind of a kink thing when the conversation turns to fun, danger, and prisoners for the night. Definitely sounds like a sex thing.]

Yes. Real ones. [He doubletakes when he comes to him with the pale foundation, closing his eyes to make the application process a bit easier.] What is a fake vampire?

[ There is a moment where Ferdinand worries that he truly misunderstood the situation. Perhaps this man was just an overenthusiastic paramour, not some fan with no boundaries of personal space. But when her expression changes, Ferdinand breathes a mental sigh of relief to himself, glad that he didn't just accost someone for no reason. ]

Oh, there should be no bother. This person had confused you for someone else and is just leaving. [ He claps the fan's shoulder, ever the portrait of politeness, but with just enough force that it reminds the fan of just how badly things could have gone. ] That is correct, yes?

[ The fan scrambles to his feet and scurries off, and if it isn't because of Ferdinand, it might be because of the bodyguards that have caught sight of him and are giving chase. Either way, they are soon alone. ]

My apologies. I saw him grab your hand and acted quickly, and for a moment, I worried that I had been a bit too hasty.

Not that it is a competition, of course. And I would dare say this place is just as alien to either of us as it is to the other.

My apologies, I was so taken by the conversation that I neglected to introduce myself properly. I am Ferdinand von Aegir, heir to the noble house Aegir of the Adrestian Empire.

I do realize that none of that is even the slightest bit relevant, of course.

[ with a fluidity that probably answers fuuta's question all on its own, blade sheathes his sword and moves closer to fuuta so he can take a look at the armor. that it's a little large on fuuta is immediately apparent, but it's also fastened loosely, especially in the sides—no wonder he's jostling around in it so much.

without thinking too much, blade reaches for the fastenings, adjusting them slightly along fuuta's sides in an effort to mitigate some of the size problem. it won't be perfect—fuuta would need to bulk up quite a bit for that—but at the very least he thinks he can stop it from rattling around every time fuuta tries to swing his sword. ]


...Yes. [ there's always a risk in talking about his past. as a rule, blade tries not to—the forge master yingxing died the day blade was born, and dwelling on the circumstances is a surefire way to make blade literally lose his mind. still, he says, ] I learned swordplay over many long years.

[ and many long deaths, although blade doesn't say that part aloud. ]

You aren't used to them, [ he adds after a second. although it's phrased as a statement, it's really more of a question, blade's gaze flicking to meet fuuta's in a moment of curiosity. ] Swords. Are you?

It's a generous offer, and one I will not forget. But given the climate of this place you understand why I would be a little worried to accept it, no? [ Such generosity is not often directed his way. But more than that, offering to help most often doesn't come without a want for a favor returned. ] But at least we are in agreement on our circumstances.

[ Viktor stalls for a moment before motioning with his metallic hand to lead the way forward. ] It's Viktor.

[ A partial upturn on his lips into a smile. ] I am to assume you've been here for a while, then? You speak of someone who has...experience of this place.

Absolutely not.

Aren't heroes and cops supposed to work together? I think we're partners, not enemies.

N-No, it's fine. Really. Uh, I hated Sprite anyway....

[Someone send help.

Or at least she's sliding off his lap now, a fact that still keeps his face almost as red as his sunglasses. The squished popcorn rolls off him as she does, and he tries to pick up his drink-- mostly so that it doesn't keep spilling on the floor next to him. Jeez, this really is something. There's not hiding his somewhat tired sigh, though he doesn't want Haru to feel bad about this.]


And lend me some of your popcorn and we'll call it even.

Gambling.

I think I'm getting pretty good at poker.

Your master?

( now that was an interesting revelation to her. truthfully she wasn't looking to get aroused or any kind of pleasure from the dancing, but if he wanted to and was willing to entertain her while she caught her breath—

well she certainly wasn't going to stop him by any means. in fact she smiled right back at him and sat back, crossing her legs. whether her body language was saying something about her current frame of mind or not, it didn't matter. she would give him his full attention, even if she couldn't help but giggle a bit as he swayed and drifted the silken scarf in the space between them.

it wasn't until he genuinely began to straddle her that she leaned further back, shuffling her legs to give him more room, a surprised expression on her face. )


Hey you're really good at this, how exactly did you end up with a master anyways?
