[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!

@horneye

[tohell]

I'm afraid I simply can't make it out, so I'll have to ask you directly.

How many tons does that say, exactly?

[broca]

[ Given the amount that Broca himself has done in at least semi-public spots in this resort verses how much he's bothered to do inside an actual bedroom, he is perhaps the last person to truly be worried about the privacy issues of things like that. Still, it's not necessarily something that a person wants to surprise themselves with if they're just trying to feel closer to a friend.

That particular adventure might lead Yato to feeling a little too intimately acquainted with extra appendages though. ]

Yeah... sometimes. It's not out of the question.

[ Whether any of it would or not is beyond him, but just to be on the safe side, best to recommend the new arrival avoid it. ]

[intertwinedfates]

[(Un?)fortunately, such adventures are still in Yato's future, so he'll have to deal with them when they come up. The warning is greatly appreciated though, judging by his bewildered and yet somewhat relieved expression. Foresight goes a long way towards making uncomfortable situations more bearable, that's for sure. Better to be aware ahead of time that even something as simple as a clip-on tail might egg him on in unexpected ways.]

This place sure is wild... I never know what to expect. Though I've only been here a day or so, so I bet that'll change pretty damn quickly.

[If he can find any non-charmed clothes, he's definitely going to be sticking with those unless those chicken-headed folks badger him into other attire.]

[chiffonades]

As much delight as Sanji gets out of impressing her— even if he’s not really doing anything worthy of her amazement— it does confirm in his mind that she’s probably not been at the Peacock for very long. Some people take a while to master what the watches are capable of, but the camera mode shouldn’t be that surprising to anyone with a little experience.

Not that he presses that point, just grinning at her instead as she takes up his offer, grabbing on to his arm. It delights him that she does it— almost makes him want to squirm from his joy, really— making his step a little more lively as they continue their trek onwards.

”We’ll figure out what it does. Promise.” He figures she might need a bit of encouragement. “And hopefully there’s an easy fix.”

Not that he wants to think about that now, so instead, he focuses on her other question.

”I guess you could say that? It’s been…. nine months now? Feels like an eternity since I’m separated from my friends, you know?” Well, kind of. Nami and Zoro being here does complicate things— the Peacock can feel oddly like home at times thanks to them being here— but on the whole, he misses their whole crew being together. “You get used to it, but— you never want to.”

But the Peacock has a way of getting under your skin and sinking it’s claws in, no matter what you do.

Glancing over at her, he shrugs his shoulders. “How about you? Been here very long or this place still feeling so damn new, you can barely find your way without getting lost?”

[wheft]

[ ...oh.

he's one of those flirty ones, isn't he. fantastic. like ishmael hadn't had enough of the other guys that had tried rizzing her up to no avail. unlike midnight however, it's pretty obvious that this one has had prior existence in playing up amicable banter, what with how he smoothly takes her hand like he'd always wanted to. or something.

damn.

normally, ishmael wouldn't stammer at this. but the costume possessing her causes her to stumble on her words a little before clearing her throat and remembering her place. ]

C-Call me Ishmael. [ she lets him hold her hand for a few more seconds before pulling away. ahem. ] I'm relieved that your name has not changed a bit, Master Natori. But... since it's been a while, would it be too much to ask what have you been up to lately?

[ let's catch up!! by telling her what he's all about, basically. ]

[nintendog]

( don't ask her that!??! she opens her mouth to complain about just that, then furrows her brows, then settles and frowns about it instead. )

... Sort of.

( unfortunately, she doesn't really like lying so her hypocrisy will truly just be out there. )

I wasn't sleeping through it though which should count for something.

( but also like how could anyone sleep in such a public spot, first of all. does this guy not have a sense of danger or something? )

Besides, there's not much plot to retell to begin with.

[paperpusher]

Haha, looks like we're both still going by our normal names! Right, Ishmael-san? [That was how he referred to Sumi-san, the housekeeper, when he was growing up, so he figures he can get away with it now-- no need to make his character such a louche as to be disrespectful to his staff. As if playing along with someone else's illusion isn't also disrespectful, but-- well, he can't break it until he knows what the shape of it is, and insisting that she's wrong won't get them any closer to a solution.

He lets her pull her hand away, then gestures for them to keep walking.]

No, of course not. [It's actually pretty interesting how this... spell, or whatever influence she's under, is maneuvering her around her lack of memories about him. Is it better to try to stress that by not helping it along? Maybe, but not if it means she just storms off and goes to someone else instead.] Well, you remember how I've broken countless hearts on the silver screen, in my role as the Sparkling Detective Akeboshi Koutarou?

[Is it... worse to throw in a plug for his movies? He's doing it anyway.]

I have to admit that I've been cast in several more productions! It's been a busy few days. But I'm sure you didn't doubt me for a minute!

[pyrolyzed]

[ Oh, that's a terrible line. Normally, Fuuta would physical recoil from the levels of cringe before launching into a tirade about how terrible it was.

But now, that earns a cackle. Fortunately for the director and unfortunately for Narumi, it's a very convincing laugh -- Fuuta has the right cadence and growl to his voice for it, and the little touch of SFX flames licking about his head lends him the perfect air of threat as he slinks forward a step. Then another. Closing the distance between them, bit by bit. ]

Let them come, then. [ His eyes gleam as they narrow. ] But you'll have to entertain me until then!

[ He darts forward the next moment with surprising agility. Whatever is in his makeup is doing a great job at squelching the usual pain of his injuries and giving him a hefty adrenaline boost. Later, he'll pay for it with muscle strains and aches, but for now, it means he gets to close the distance between them in little more than the blink of an eye. And before Narumi can back off or resist, that long, robotic tail of his lashes out, whipping Narumi's feet out from under him to knock him to the ground.

Fuuta's on him immediately afterward, straddling his midriff and shoving his hands against Narumi's shoulders to pin him in place. The claws of his costume are only plastic, but they feel convincingly sharp where they prickle past the plate of armor, threatening to draw blood if Narumi makes the wrong move.

It's very movie cliche when he leans in to drag his tongue up the side of Narumi's throat in one long swipe before sitting back and licking his lips. Even more cliche when he drawls, ]

You taste like fear. How sweet.

Oh, stop being a baby. I wasn't holding you that hard!

( said like a girl who wouldn't get indignant if her face of gets handled like that too.. but they aren't going there! conveniently enough for her, she is moving on. )

Yup! Seal it. It's just another product to help keep everything on, usually put on after everything is where you want it. Think of it like hairspray I guess? There are other things you could add on, but I haven't really played around with stage makeup before.

( something she does look excited to try, at least. does that bode well for him? maybe. maybe not. )

.....?

( ? )

I guess it depends on the type. Obviously if you're the sort to transform there's not much I can do about that. ( which is one of the few she has awareness of, ) Are the glasses linked, somehow?

( these are Very Specific Questions mostly because she only really knows one guy who has a hybrid form that does bloodstuff locked behind an item...... )

Instead of starters, some ideas, we can toss a plot baseball back and forth for a few comments, and I'll start us off. ✨💖 aka "local woman had too many ideas this TDM to settle on one thing and I have to rawdog it."

STARTER IDEAS

📸📹 PAPARAZZI

ideas for this: bodyguard/client or actor/assistant scenarios, costars (having an affair optional), hurt/comfort, superfans. Would like to err toward the side of sfw here but nsfw scenarios are cool for more intimate relationships listed here, like bodyguard and costar situations.

ideas for this: w/o special effects: the intimacy of helping someone dress/dressing someone else, semi-public, clothed/semi-clothed, clothing related kink in general (stockings, heels, lingerie, etc.). aphroed makeup ✅✅✅
roles & special effects: first and foremost, ann can't act so all of this will be the worst acting on the earth until she chills out, but: catgirl w/varying definitions of "cat", ~sexy spy~, shoujo anime villain, student (but this is situational), rich heiress popular girl/cheerleader, cops & robbers, succubus, rivals/enemies to lovers, inevitable kidnapping victim in a twilight-esque monsterfucking scenario. looking for primarily nsfw scenarios here, the sillier the better.

kinks: masturbation/mutual masturbation, praise kink (giving/receiving), risk of discovery, ann as a service top, body worship, edging, dirty talk, oral, non-penetrative sex, toys. more info characters 16-21 preferred. | for any questions, please pm me or hmu at gravesinger. |

( hehe! my, she certainly looks proud of herself. yes, yes. she deserves all these kind words and recognition and then some! )

Good, right? Not that I didn't have a good base, but I think this should be dramatic enough for whatever it is you're going to be doing in a bit. Don't mess up my hard work too badly.

( not that she doesn't know that it's inevitable in certain situationsm, but oh well. )

But I can do touch ups if it happens, I guess.

( why would she say no at another chance to be recognized?

then, she tilts her head. while he doesn't look like much of a fighter in comparison to some others she knows, she doesn't really think he's to be dismissed either. a thought she'll keep to herself for now, patting his shoulder in encouragement as she beams. )

You're right, that wouldn't be fun at all. So do your best, okay? I've been getting antsy and it'd be nice to have a sparring partner I know I can go to!

( because she refuses to skip a day of training if that's all she can do here!! )

[keita]

[ The prospect of watching pornographic films with another person is... Well, Keita can appreciate the artistic nature(?) of some of these movies, and of course he'd participated to a certain extent, albeit largely running props or helping with costumes. But he doesn't find them as entirely titillating as he's sure some other members of the audience do, and for that reason is perfectly happy to give his full attention to Layla for the duration of the film, to spare them both the embarrassment of having to look.

Keita shifts to the side a bit to ensure Layla has room to situate herself on their shared chair-bed. Although he notes that the change in position has left her legs somewhat exposed, she doesn't seem too perturbed by it—and so Keita, reminding himself that this isn't 1884 and he doesn't need to be concerned so much with things like propriety, decides not to say anything either, although he's aware that there's a blanket draped over the armrest nearest him in case she gets cold. ]

Is that an option? [ he says with a smile, stretching an arm out along the cushion behind her. ] Do you know, I'm not sure I've ever had popcorn. Does it make a good projectile?

[ Around them, the lights dim, but Keita keeps his focus on Layla aside from a brief glance around just to see what the vibes are like. ]

Did you hold up all right over the last bit of excitement we had?

honeywagons...

[depressionnap]

[There's a pause as Vincent blinks blearily and glances at Barret. He has some memory of being here, the absurd outfits, and grumbling about his lack of personal clothing and effects. Like goddamn they even took his Queen's Blood deck, it's fucked up, man. Now he's stuck with a fuzzy pimp jacket and... well, not hell of a lot else, but he's discreetly closed the coat around himself and tucked his left arm away. Nobody needs to see that shit.

Then there is Barret who, of course, is ready to be on the offense.

Vincent just rolls over and closes his eyes, ready to go back to sleep.]

[nintendog]

( she makes a small noise of acknowledgement, hopping off her chair at long last so she can shrug off the robe and neatly drape it over the armrest. she's thinking about it, and she wonders if that sort of approach would really work well with someone like her.. it's not like she's been going to a formal school system these days!

the uniform they've put her in is modest, as one might expect for a setting like this. skirt down to her ankles, a blouse properly tucked in - she was even given a vest and a tie to accessorize with.

the thin, silver glint around her neck suggests that they've likely given her a cross too, just to really sell it. )

Oh!

( she hadn't seen it in the callsheet, she thinks, but that just means she should've introduced herself first! it's like she wasn't taught manners or something.

this time, she's properly faced his way, her shiny mary janes pressed neatly together with her hands on her lap, bowing her head a little in her greeting since she does need to play nice here. also? it just feels like she maybe should? easy as she is to anger, it's not as if he's done anything to earn it. )

A pleasure to meet you. I'll be in your care. ( ...but who knows how long that'll last for...... at least through the shooting, hopefully. ) You can call me Nei.

[keita]

Monsieur, that's a pleasant change of pace, [ Keita observes with a small smile. ] Are you French, then?

[ Either that, or he comes from a world that happens to speak a language not dissimilar to the little French Keita knows. He'd never had a reason to learn it properly, but living in London does mean a certain amount of exposure to people from France who come across the channel.

Although the first buckle gives Keita a bit of trouble, the rest of them are fairly straightforward. He works his way from top to bottom, starting with the ones fastened around Vanitas' neck and then down, and by the time Vanitas has undone his waistcoat and his shirt, Keita's fingers have just come to rest on the second-to-last buckle strapped across Vanitas' waist. There he pauses, glancing up at the question. ]

Would it make you more comfortable? [ he asks. Keita doesn't care much one way or another, but his last intent is to cause discomfort. ] Here, let me at least finish this first.

[ He wouldn't want to leave Vanitas with two buckles still fastened, after all, so before Vanitas can turn him away, Keita hurries to finish the last ones as well. ]

[usseewa]

She’s grateful for his confidence that they’ll find an answer. She was certain it was going to be good after everything Shanks told her, but maybe they’d get lucky! Maybe it won’t be anything too— well she’s not sure. Her extremely limited experience in this matter only proves that she has no idea what the House will want her to do.

“Were… are your friends here?” She asks gently, unsure if it’s a sore subject or not.

When he asks about herself, however, she sighs. “Is it that easy to tell that I’m new here?” She smiles, despite this.

“I’m a little overwhelmed. Though, I ran into- I’ve been told what I should be expecting.”

At least the long and short of it. Shanks didn’t want her to be in the dark, which she’s grateful for! But every time she thinks of him it’s like a switch. She tenses slightly, not meaning to dig her fingers into his arm as they walk.

[keita]

[ The extended pause makes Keita's eyebrows lift slightly. Until Hiyori decides on what to say, the futures immediately ahead of them are a mess of different exclamations and outcomes—all of which fade away as soon as he speaks aloud. ]

That's right, [ Keita says, nodding his confirmation. If he remembered a future in which Hiyori accused him of wanting to watch schoolgirl/alien porn, he would probably be quite put out! ] The process of it is fascinating, although the subject matter is a bit...

[ He waves a hand to encompass it all. In point of fact, alien/schoolgirl porn is definitely not his cup of tea, although Keita has nothing but respect for the actors involved. They're just doing their jobs, and all. ]

It seems that most of those I know from the future aren't particularly surprised by this genre of... film, [ Keita adds after a second. ] And that leads me to believe that this manner of pornography may become commonplace in a later time than mine. Am I right?

[ Like, from a sociological perspective that's interesting. And the idea of recording intimacy that way is interesting enough that Keita may take part at a different time—and in a very different genre. ]

[broca]

[ Normal clothing at least is usually pretty easy to find in this place, though right now it's questionable with how much of what's available seems to be costuming. Surely when it settles down from its movie madness someone should be able to direct the little god where to get regular outfits.

If Broca sees him still running around in a bathrobe, he will at that point. ]

It's pretty easy... Just expect everything to be related to sex in some way.

[ That's not entirely true. Broca's had a few scrapes with some pretty dangerous things that had nothing at all to do with sex. Still, as a rule of thumb it's a fair one to follow. ]

[ecocentric]

Hey! It's you! [Barret straightens up and nearly topples the little stool over. He's so surprised and excited to see someone from home, even this guy, that he forgets how cramped the space is for a minute.] Vincent!

[He watches, face falling, as Vincent turns over to sleep again.] C'mon man...

[He puffs his bubble pipe, considering his next move.] Don'tcha have any zest for life? There's a whole ass porno labyrinth out there! [Sheepishly:] ... I mean, most of it ain't my style, but it's — interesting. You gotta admit that! And you wanna be stuck here all of eternity? [He jerks a thumb in the owl's direction, who is staring at them with enormous, wide pupils. It hoos softly.

Barret shudders and slowly closes the blinds again.]

[redfortune]

Messy.

Sounds a bit like the Federvolk Imperium, honestly. Although they just think they're chosen by their god to dominate everything without wings...

[keita]

[ The headstrong tone of Bakugo's voice makes another faint smile flicker at the corner of Keita's mouth. It's not befitting someone of the role he's meant to be playing, but it is something he likes about Bakugo himself—his absolute irreverence for everything meant to force him into respect that hasn't been earned. With some effort, he schools his expression again and reaches up when Bakugo kneels on the bed, fingers ghosting along the line of his jaw before hooking in the collar of his jacket to tug him a little closer. ]

I knew you would, [ Keita says, pleased. He has faith in his captain to be able to execute, wouldn't have put it in his hands if he didn't. Perhaps he's earned a few liberties, after all.

The suggestion that Keita might have been about to sleep makes him lift an eyebrow as he carefully, single-handedly unbuttons the topmost button of Bakugo's jacket, then trails his fingers lightly down the skin he finds beneath to work on the second as well. ]

And if I were? [ he asks, although they both know Keita will be doing absolutely no sleeping on this set whatsoever. ] Would you have objections... Captain?

[keita]

I made the offer expecting that it might be rebuffed, [ Keita admits with a wry smile. ] Please rest assured I won't take offense.

[ Granted that Viktor has no cause to trust him yet. That kind of thing is built over time, not with reassurances only moments after first meeting. But it is, for what it's worth, the truth. And after a moment, when Viktor gestures for him to lead the way, Keita nods with the understanding that theirs is a tenuous agreement for the time being.

The way to the prop storage room isn't far, it just requires a bit of navigation around set pieces and back past the costume department. Keita leads the way, maintaining a proper distance between them, although his attention is unmistakably on Viktor—to the point that he's not actually looking where he's going, although unerringly he manages to avoid every possible obstacle. ]

I've been here a bit longer than a year now, [ Keita says. ] I was rather unceremoniously blown up in my own world, and then—opened my eyes and was in one of the rooms downstairs. It took some getting used to, as I'm sure you can imagine.

[wheft]

[ she takes the schedules list from her hands for a gander, her other free hand still thumbing away at aurelia's reddening cheek. hmm, seems like a normal schedule to her. nothing weird nor anything out of the ordinary here, except: ]

A bondage witch... [ that's so oddly specific, damn ] I don't exactly know how they would dress, but regardless--

[ she gives back aurelia's schedule, then goes to apply some foundation on her face this time. gotta make sure she looks a little more alive. ]

Yes. It'd be my honor to assist you in any way you need.

[keyeju]

[ The whole thing might truly be a bit threatening if it weren't for two main factors: Fuuta is still Fuuta, and Narumi is still Narumi. No matter what they dress the boy up in, he's still the scrawny kid that is quick to complain, and no matter what feelings the costume tries to foist upon him, Narumi's own natural feelings are really tamping down the levels of fear and trembling that should be happening right now.

Though he is developing a pounding headache at the strain of the lack of compatibility.

The way that Fuuta sends him crashing to the ground probably isn't going to do much to help that pain either. Narumi grunts, barely able to hold back in the long string of choice words he has for the other man as he clambers on top of him, pinning him down in a way that Narumi feels he could easily upset. The claws might cut him up a little, but not enough that it would be an issue for Narumi to kick Fuuta off of him with ease.

As his body starts to tense up, determined to do just that, the armor around his limbs locks up, holding him in place despite his intentions, and leaving him nice and vulnerable for that tongue to swipe across his throat in a way that feels deliriously good, drawing a rough inhale out of him. ]

You think I'm afr--

[ He doesn't even get the full word out before it's choked off as his head throbs painfully, the armor discouraging him from actually trying to pick a fight with the dragon. Now isn't the time to bluster more, now is the time to sit back and let the "powerful" "scary" dragon have his way with him. ]

makoto 👑

[pantera]

[It's a bad plot. Tawdry and obviously written in a hurry, probably one-handed, it's nonetheless at least geared more toward erotica than some of the others. Ann absentmindedly twirls her hair around her finger as she reads, the girlish gesture at odds with her expression, which is serious and drawn.

She nibbles idly at a fingernail. While Makoto is getting dressed, Ann checks for cameras. She'd specifically requested that this be for private use, but you could never be too sure here. She moves quickly and efficiently, and by the time she's done she looks around at the VR scenario around her and tries to relax.

The moment she'd seen Makoto mingling around all of these... new, and strange sets that had popped up, she'd felt both so relieved, and immediately stressed. This place was so-

It was a lot for anyone. And Makoto was smart and decisive, but this had to be way out of her comfort zone, right? So Ann had thought on her feet, grabbed the first script that didn't sound too wild, and ferried them both somewhere where she could rely on some kind of privacy. She takes a deep breath as she settles on the edge of the couch. Then she calls out:]

Hey, um, is everything OK in there?

[Good, she sounded normal. Just gals being pals, just something you did for friends here. No big deal!

No big deal.]
