[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!

[Brow... furrowed... so much for a minimal look. He supposes he should have predicted this, though. Oh well. He takes a seat in the offered chair, sat up straight all prim and proper, ready to get on with it. ]

Mn. We spoke, last month.

[ Lan Wangji had recognized Reno almost immediately, but that's hard not to when you have bright red hair! ]

When the [ sex ] alternative profiles were introduced.

[redhairedturk]

[Reno starts to apply the foundation with a brush, carefully buffing it into the guy's skin]

Right, you were the guy with the flying sword, right?

[He still doesn't know how this shit works, but he can't deny that he's curious]

How did you end up gettin' cast in that role?

[blastedass]

Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!

[Clothes picked out, and this stranger seemingly set, Bakugo kicks open the trailer door (sussed out that's what their surroundings hinted at), and tromps down the little metal stairs. What the hell is this? Momentarily taken aback at everything hustling and bustling in front of him. A fucking movie set?! Backstage to a theater?! All this and more with people racing from one side to the other, racks of props or costumes carrying into another person's path, clipboards flipping papers over their tops, hands touching headsets and relaying information before lights swings upward over a stage.

Goddamn Peacock's putting on performances and he doesn't have to ask who's the star(s). They are. Probably some shitty porno, as if their entire lives here aren't playing one out already.]

Where the hell do you get a roach motel? [Those things are designed to kill, certainly without the entertainment and fare the resort provides. And he doesn't appreciate being inferred as a goddamn roach in the first place!]

Get out of there before it collapses!

[pyrolyzed]

Ah -- wai -- hey, don't ... !

[ Too late. Fuuta might give that little alarmed bark when Zeta gets to her feet, but he's not quick enough to stop her from exiting the little hiding spot he'd found. There's the rustle of fabrics and clothes hangers as she emerges into aisle between the racks, and Fuuta gives a loud groan, followed by an overdramatic sigh.

And he's taking his sweet time hauling himself upright as well -- no point in staying hidden here, now that she's busted him -- when she leans in to take that better look at him. Fuuta stifles a startled grunt as he jerks back, shoulders hiked up defensively as he gives her a wary stare back. ]

... yeah. Sure. Feels great knowing I'm not hideous.

[ Sorry Zeta, that is not what she said, but he's just the type of shitty youth to word it like that.

Fuuta grumbles as he stands and emerges from the clothing racks, though he still positions himself so Zeta stands between him and where the rest of the staff are; just in case they decide to come barging in to force sexy outfits on people, surely they'll gun for her first and he can escape while they're distracted. ]

And it's not like I don't put in effort? I know what works for me and I make that happen, I just know my limits. Objectively. It's lame when someone's trying too hard when there's no point to it.

[tidemark]

Oh, I hadn't considered a role like that, but it's possible.

[even if he said it irl childe would be immune]

Then if I said that I was injured, you would be willing to patch me up? That's kind of you for a stranger.

[tidemark]

I see! Now that you mention it, you're right. I wonder why "older brother" was not on my list. Perhaps I'll see if it can be updated. I'd certainly do my best to play the role well, since my younger siblings mean everything to me.

Though I think playing that role would make me miss them even more dearly than I already do, so perhaps it is for the best...

That's hard to say. 'Warrior' is the most accurate to what I would call myself. Do you also fight? I assume so, based on 'thug', but I may be wrong.

[tidemark]

Esikko. Good to meet you, if only through these devices.

That really does sound like a complicated problem. I'm sorry that you are experiencing it. Perhaps we should speak in person? I have some questions, but I think discretion is better, considering our environment is a bit constrained.

[aka: they're all trapped in here together and everyone can read this]

[blastedass]

[Maybe it he ever becomes a half-dragon again, they'll get the chance to engage that interesting dragon kink? now, there is a dragon's body model in the wings covering a fuck machine if reno wants to go that implied direction Bakugo snaps and tugs the clasps and threads of his boot to loosen the item, then tugs it free and casually tosses it behind him with zero care. His second follows before he plants one hand on a crystal rim and quick-gallop-slings himself over, going almost full horizontal clearing it. A pleasant mixture of "whuff" and "squish" meet his hips and legs as he lands in the soft gel-like material and slides along its incline.

While he accepted people's decisions not to be with him thanks to his age, bringing it up as a negative always set him off and boom! explodes into yelling and snarls. Opinionated as ever. But no matter what the hotel encourages or influences him to do, Bakugo's never going to take advantage of someone or force himself on anyone, hence his question to Reno earlier. Too bad the guy missed out on the paint clone event, where he could've met Bakugo at a nice age of 24. (Hint hint... either years later and he's still no different in the attitude department.) But more on that later, when they're not settling in a crystaline bowl of abalone smooth squish.]

Haa? This is a bed, Mascara. You think only mattresses and frames count? [Taunting him as he stands up on the slippery surface, feet sinking into the memory-foam-like material if he bothers staying still for more than a second. He rolls one arm at the shoulder and heads towards Reno, half haughty, half stalking.]

[cachaemicgage]

The unusual appearance of those owl-people was mostly going ignored by the troll; by his metric, they really didn't seem all that odd at all. Even G'raha wasn't all that strange to him; honestly, he reminds Karmin a bit of the olive-blooded tribespeople, though his hues were much warmer.

The attitude presented is also a breath of fresh air, and Karmin can only smile more openly as he replies, "Karmin Vantas. It's a pleasure to meet you."

When G'raha leans closer, Karmin realizes that he must be cold in his getup, and moves to accommodate, making a space against him where the cushions had already warmed substantially. It certainly helps him here that he's an affectionate person, and welcoming in someone that he's only just met has been a long-standing pattern. What he was scripted to do next was really only an additional step further.

"You could tell me a little bit about yourself. What you'd like, at least; I'd like this to be enjoyable after all." Subtly shifting his role in the script into a more gracious sort of "demon king", as the domineering figure it first suggested didn't necessarily feel right to him.

[ if there's one thing blade has in spades, it's patience. he waits at tomura's side until he finally glances up to read the prompter and understand what it is blade is asking of him—and while it doesn't show on his face, internally blade finds himself vaguely amused by the scowl that tomura wears as he finally obeys, lifting himself up out of the chair so blade can sit beneath him. although their interaction earlier had been fairly limited, blade gets the impression that tomura knows his way around video games—is he frowning because he'd rather actually play without being distracted by sex in the process?

well, he's just going to have to do his best. blade takes a seat in the chair, spreading his thighs just slightly to make a comfortable seat for tomura, then reaches out to touch his hip and guide him back to sit again. the position leaves tomura's thighs slightly spread too, his back resting against blade's chest, and there's enough of a difference in their heights that blade has no trouble seeing the screen over tomura's shoulder.

fortunately for tomura, at least for the time being there's no more cringy porn dialogue to be delivered. instead, blade just wraps one arm around tomura's waist to hold him in place, his hand slipping under the soft material of tomura's e-girl shirt to press against his stomach. after that, though, blade makes no further attempt at distraction—not yet, anyway. ]

Go ahead, [ he says instead, his voice a low rumble against tomura's back. ] Get started.

[ blade will get to work eventually, but he'll at least give tomura enough time to start up the game and get comfortable playing it before he really ramps things up. ]

[Kinich isn't the first person to gawk at his explosions; he's pretty free with using them to accent his words or express his emotions, from threatening to frustrations. And he'd rather this bastard help him get out of the damn costume, or at least reveal the oncoming shit way of getting it off, than stare at his hand like that! He'll give him a close-up view with sensory engagement if he keeps this crap going! Fingers clench, a much larger explosion going off and getting crushed in his palm together.

Angry and frustrated, blazing red eyes glare hot daggers at the other man's green-screened expression, lips curling at the thing's sputtering and protests. What the hell? He's gone all over the watch and hasn't found anything simulating an AI service or virtual "pet" option. A feature of Kinich's normal powers from home? Looks like a damn old-school arcade game.]

Urusei! Aren't you high and mighty for being trapped in a fucking watch, you retro-block shit face! [Fuck, he even talks like one of those badly-translated vintage games from ancient consoles! SNES era boss. And Kinich controls him? Or owns him...]

What is it, some kind of summon from your world? [It'd make Kinich one of the growing handful of "summoner" guests from various worlds. Seems to be a popular power.] There's a mute option on the watch, idiot. Shut it up.

[nintendog]

( HE'S RIGHT, BUT, )

Are you implying that you don't think I'd already have been complimented for it???

( 'why is that the point she got out of that'. she has image issues, you see. )

[intertwinedfates]

Nyeh~ Make me!

[He's absolutely gunning for a fight, being a smartass and all. But this punk kid is bringing out his more childish side that wants to be a dick and mess with him. Seeing as how they're both dressed finally - no more skimpy robes and underwear, thank goodness! - he starts to follow Bakugo, although he takes his time and pauses at the doorway, peering cautiously out at all the crazy goings on. He's never seen a movie set before, but her can get a rough idea given what their own trailer was like before a certain blond blew it to smithereens.]

Well, it sure ain't the Ritz! What kind of resort goes around kidnapping and trapping people, huh? [It's a bit overwhelming to see so many people racing this way and that, and given that unless this guy is spiritually sensitive, that means that everyone here might be able to see him... It makes Yato nervous enough to hesitate even with the barked orders.]

I'm coming, I'm coming, geez, you're pushy and demanding...

[Despite his misgivings, he sidles up beside Bakugo, hands going into his pockets as he hunches his shoulders slightly and glances around.]

So... you know what the hell is going on?

[wincon]

[ OOC: heyo! i think i might like to keep things gen for now! i know ya girl isn't The Sakura, but given i am canonblind i'm more unsure how i might feel about smutting, given my age prefs. regardless, happy to carry on a thread either way! ]

[ The costar they'd found for him is a cute little thing. That could be said without personal tastes involved: objectively cute, decked out in all the gear of a sugary-sweet, magical heroine. Not the kind of "hero" and not the kind of genre he's the most familiar with, but—what more is a Demon Lord meant to do anyway? Look imposing, put up some token argumentation, fight and lose—or fight and win. It seems there's more than a few movies that salivate over the hero's corruption.

Though this girl has certainly been given A Script... Unbidden by any cue, Tomura scoffs. He can't help it—it had been like a reflex, like tapping one's knee. Where has he heard that kind of cliche before? ]

Be my friend? And what is that meant to accomplish?

[ At least they're putting a little bit of effort into the dialogue, despite every movie being shot being an obvious porno. He hopes the script will stay the course, or he might seriously choke on some corny line about embracing the heroine's kindness—or whatever. As it is now, there's at least some kind of believability to his performance—though it might be more accurate to say that any inflection or emotion is simply his actual skepticism of her lines leaking through. ]

[ after he and dan heng had parted ways in the dank hallway underneath the resort, blade had done his utmost to put the memory from his mind entirely—to forget about the ghost of his dead lover and the man he used to be, the fact that now the one man he's sworn to destroy is privy to something so secret and tender. he'd done a good job of it, too, at least until now, but of course as he looks at the fall of dan heng's hair over the delicate scaffolding of his shoulders blade can't help but remember it all in detail.

he snorts in response. it's meant to be a derisive sound but it comes out mostly wry. ]

They needed someone who could handle a sword.

[ and they both know blade is the man for the job. maybe before their shared experience in the punishment room, there would have been some cruelty in the way blade says it—because of course dan heng knows blade can handle a sword, when dan heng has been on the business end of it so many times. but instead, while there's an edge to the words, it sounds almost... rote, like something blade adds because he knows he should, but not entirely because he means it.

no, no. of course he means it. dan heng's death is still his ultimate goal, and not even the pressures of a place like this will be enough to sway him.

blade manages to untie the ribbon fastened behind dan heng's neck, then lowers his hand to work on the even smaller metal fastenings holding the bodice around his ribcage. for some reason, the thought of what kind of movie dan heng might have been filming in an outfit like this is beginning to piss him off. ]

Well? [ he asks, even though he shouldn't and also he knows he's going to hate whatever dan heng says. ] Did you enjoy yourself?

[tweelight]

I mean - it seemed like I surprised you so - I didn't think so???

[ You'd think he'd get used to tiny creatures with inscrutable standards for etiquette by now but no. Her sudden indignation puts him instantly on the back foot. ]

I'm sure there are lots of people who appreciate our work! We're not just expedient slabs of meat!

[ That second part was definitely more about him... ]

[ideates]

[ the genuine irritation in manuela's voice is both surprising and familiar. she'd sounded exactly like this the first time they'd met, her tone cutting and sardonic over the insult he'd paid her, but after their last meeting blade hadn't thought she cared any more—at least, not nearly enough to be angry about it still. and if that were to be the case, blade himself had tried not to care as well, so that they could pass each other in the hallway without another glance—but instead here he is, lifting his gaze from the plate in front of him to regard manuela with a long stare.

that's the thing, isn't it? why is she the only one upset? maybe it was his mistake to trust her, and that's why the room had forced him to spit out his deepest secrets, only to have them picked up and wielded against him. well, it is his fault in the end, isn't it. his sins are his own burden, and a weapon doesn't deserve anyone's friendship to begin with. more the fool him for forgetting his place. ]

Don't start, [ blade finds himself saying. it's partway scripted, but not entirely; he's no actor, but maybe with an assist from the setup he's finding himself at least able to meet her in the middle. ] As if you're dying to spend time with me these days?

👀!!

[ecocentric]

[omg yay... I would love to keep their previous tdm cr and as for prefs, I don't have too many. I do think them doing one of the short films together would be fun though!]

[loosestrifes]

In person would be perfect. I'm an Ace rank, so I'll send you my room number so that we can have a nice, comfortable meeting. Unless you'd prefer elsewhere, of course; I'm open to wherever you'd like.

[menhulu]

[ ah, dan heng, meanwhile, recognizes this man rather quickly. quincy - they'd spoken briefly over the network not so long ago. the man who knows how to build a house. dan heng had glanced over his profile, but pictures hardly do him justice, tall and broad and handsome as he is in person. unfortunately, dan heng has a bit of a weakness for tall men with fat tits..

so. this could definitely be worse. they don't know one another very well at all, not by a longshot, but at least he's dan heng's type. not that he would admit to having a type.

anyway, he can't help the way that his eyes sweep down quincy's body, drawn to sharp lines and planes of muscle and bone, his strong shoulders and arms, and.. exactly what that jock strap only barely holds back. despite himself, he feels a warm tightening between his thighs. the light aphrodisiacs in his clothing help. ]

I fear no man's blade. There is only one way to satisfy me enough to persuade me.

[ he says, a little stiffly, but he's trying. leaning back on his hands, dan heng's long tail gives a light thump against the bed, pleased by what he is seeing. ]

If you think yourself up to the task.

[nevus]

( WONDERFUL. and as much as i adore the idea of him as a househusband, i think maybe with manuela it might be triggering lfmksmds 😭 what about sexy handyman or fitness instructor? )

["I'm not picky," she said, and yet Rin is pushing the tablet back to him. Her hand brushing up against his. Her skin is warm. Soft. She sits up rather than allowing herself to continue reclining. Dark, wavy hair falls forward to obscure her nipples, and the fabric of her skirt falls back on the tops of her legs.]

Pass. He looks like the kind of guy who knows how pretty he is, and that's the most annoying kind of person. Who would be into the sort of vanity that leaves a person without substance on the inside? I'd get more angry than turned on.

[Instead of being an absolute princess of pillow mountain, Rin starts reaching for the sack of items meant to help them out. Small hands with nails fashioned into claws search like a raccoon through trash. Everything is worth looking at once, but not all of it is worth keeping. Like the little wand that delivers an electric shock? She flicks it away. This young man doesn't bring the right vibe for that kind of play.]

[nobiliteatime]

The nobility has been one of the most powerful institutions in my homeland for over a thousand years, and I was raised to follow in those footsteps. And yet, there I was, fighting for a world where they would no longer be necessary.

It is a strange feeling, both scary and exciting. There is an opportunity to build something new that benefits the many and not just the few, yet at the same time, I am dismantling the very thing that has defined me since I was born.

[redfortune]

...part of me just wants to leave it and hope it works out. This place is already getting under my skin.

[ Brilliant. ]
