[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!

Comments

[tekkenseisai]

[ After spending a second staring at the title ... ]

I can see two double meanings, so I suppose that's a triple entendre.

[ She lets out an exasperated sigh. ]

They've really outdone themselves.

[ A comment that's absolutely dripping with weary sarcasm. ]

[dilettante]

( as quickly as her concern for him came rushing in, it immediately came rushing right out the moment he affirmed he was doing okay. it was a relief really because she wasn't quite the best at comforting others or providing any kind of first aid treatment.

yet as quickly as relief came, she found herself a bit surprised at how easily he swayed away all those worries and immediately focused back onto his 'role'. with a bit of a surprised look, she looked around at the cameras before turning her attention back to him. okay so it was showtime but she wasn't as good as him at bouncing around emotions like that.

so as he sat up, she stood up [giving him a clear view of there being nothing under her skirt] before she did her best to resume her own part. )

Oh um....well I go to school here so....yes?

( that was obvious right? but.... )

Oh but I'm not in this class you see, I'm here to gather support for the next pep rally and um....what was it....oh right! And to see if you approve of my new cheer routine!

[paperpusher]

Wait what

[his half-assed promotion of his movie can come later]

Wait, what month is it, it isn't January right now?

[and then a few seconds later, in rapid succession]

To be clear I don't think you're lying, I'm trying to gauge if time works differently here? My true job is as an exorcist so I'm familiar with ayakashi realms like this

...Well not exactly like this, this is the first time I've seen one so

Enthusiastic.

[redhairedturk]

Okay, will do. I think some stand around to use freely around the sets anyway,

[he shrugs and keeps texting Zoro.

Reno nuzzles against Rude's freshly shaved and maintained cheek, the thin line of hair on his jawline scratching pleasantly while the rest of his cheek feels so smooth.

Mmmhm, love that aftershave on ya.
What time do we wanna meet up?

We'll find the camera, you just bring yourself. And maybe popcorn. You're in for a show!

[rebelsamurai]

It’s short for “Eurodollars”, smart ass.

[Johnny chuckles as he sits back and relaxes for now on the sofa. The new guy isn’t the only one clad in a bathrobe here. Poor Johnny got roped into this shitty excuse for a porn shoot as well. However, he’s not half as prudish about it as the new guy. If anything, Johnny simply doesn’t give a damn what happens here. It’s not like anyone is going to make a BD scroll about this, so why fret about it? Johnny just hopes he’ll gain something out of this other than getting his dick sucked.]

Trust me, there’s always some sort of freak out there who likes bizarre shit.

[He mutters while taking a long drag on his cigarette. The new guy has no idea how long it took for Johnny to find a pack of cigs in this joint. Most people nowadays don’t smoke anymore.]

People have their kinks no matter how stupid. These tentacles are pretty tame compared to some of the bullshit I’ve seen.

[worldbent]

[Matoba doesn't move from the spot as Natori approaches. His usual, faux-casual stance of arms-folded in his sleeves endures unmoved, a gesture any outsider would take as relaxed. Natori surely knows better. An exorcist's tools must always be at the ready.]

[But oh, it's so easy to knock him off his guard just by existing, isn't it? And so the moment that the other man is in range, voice pitched low for privacy and thus a little too close, Matoba's hand darts out lightning-quick, a catpunch that twists fingers into hair and pulls him even closer--]

[(--He's used to this, too--)]

[--And bites his lower lip on the way in, a swirl of tongue into Natori's mouth to take a taste of his own. Like hell he's letting anyone else get first dibs.]

[Considering the taste for a fraction of a second, Matoba whispers on the edge of his lips:] If I was an ayakashi, you would already be finished. Tsk.

[He releases the other man again with a small shove disentangling his hand from blond, staring after him half-lidded with the typical sort of disappointment that his encounters with Natori now brought.] So Natori has been captured? How interesting.

[tekkenseisai]

Haru?!

[ It's strange ... Makoto was looking directly at Haru the whole time, but the fact that it was Haru didn't seem to register until she heard her own name. The moment she did, the 'Dragon Lord' demeanor disappeared completely -- like some kind of spell was broken. ]

What ...?

[ "What are you doing here?", "What are you wearing?, ... Makoto has more than a few questions, but her brain doesn't fully settle on one before she simply blurts out the vague interrogative.

[ Either way, the scene has completely derailed again. That prompts a few scattered groans from the crew, which in turn earns a glare from Makoto before her attention shifts back to Haru. ]

Ignore them. It's ... It's good to see you, Haru.

[ Though, if she had her choice, neither of them would be here. ]

Akira said there were more of us, but I didn't expect to run into anyone else so quickly.

[ And she's relieved to be wrong about that. ]

[redhairedturk]

[Reno catches himself a lot faster.
At first, he might've looked like he's seen a ghost, which - technically - isn't that far off from the truth, but he has seen many people come and go to this place in the few months that he's been here, so he should know better than to be surprised.

Zack however is a special case, and with everything that's been going on lately and the way his conscience kept gnawing away on him, Reno feels the urge to apologize for not being there in time.
However, he's not sure from what point in time Zack truly is, so mentioning his death might not be the best thing right from the get go.]

Yeah, welcome to the Golden Peacock. Normally it's like some sorta hotel, resort kinda thing, but every once in a while it tends to change to something completely different and expects everyone to participate,
[he gestures at the brush kit he's holding and the trolley case full of makeup]
Though it's always different, so this whole film setting is new to me, too.

[he huffs]
Oh yeah, everyone tends to arrive naked and only dressed in a robe, though I heard that these change all the time, too. What didya get?

[it's easy to just chat. Pretend like they are back in Midgar, between missions and just hanging out. But it's far from the truth.]

COSTUME DEPARTMENT: PICK OUT YOUR DUDS

The sliding of hangers on metal rods is loud, even over the chatter of the other actors. A frown clear on her lips as she scans through the rack looking for something, anything closer to what she wants. She can’t seem to narrow it down, even as her frustration builds. She all but shoves a rather skimpy looking romper aside as she runs her fingers through her bangs. They can’t be serious with these outfit choices! It’s overwhelming the choice and volume of interesting costumes.

She’s not see so much in her life, so why can’t she decide? She’s huffs, crossing her arms as she looks over her choices again. Maybe she should try something on, just start there and then she can go back to looking. Yeah, that could work! Objective renewed, she starts to pull things off the rack to hold up against her body, before she lands her eyes on a (very) short white dress with a corset built in. She doesn’t take long to change into it, quick to slide it over her body.

When she’s out of the changing room, she’s standing with her back to a mirror, arm over her shoulder trying to reach the zipper to pull it up completely. She grunts slightly, tongue sticking out in determination before she spots someone passing by.

“Hey! Hey. A little help, please?”

She has no idea what she may be asking.

LORD OF THE WINGS: SNUGGLEBLOSSOMS

Once on set, she finds herself completely enamored by the lush setting. The different locations, the flora, the fauna, things she thought she’d never see in her life time of being trapped on an island. She can feel her sense of adventure returning, wanting to run and explore, to dive head first into this whole actor role (as it was only slightly adjacent to singing she supposed) and put on a show.

No one has warned her of the dangers that lurk. No one has provided an accurate representation of how the hotel works or what she would be doing while acting, but she doesn’t seem to care. She laces her fingers behind her back, wandering through the fairy forest in awe and wonder. She finds herself surrounded by a peculiar looking flowers and smiles. Is this what she was missing? This sense of wonder? She longed to be on the sea again, with her friends, with her— she shakes her head. No need to think of that right now.

She was going to enjoy herself in this magical place.

So she picks one of the flowers, not knowing what it is and inhales, then starts to sneeze as the pollen ends up her nose.

Well, that was unpleasant.

PREMIERE: THEATRE VIEWING

Finally, she makes it inside the theatre, swag bag in hand as she makes her way up the stairs to the back of the theatre. She takes a seat, bringing her legs up under her as she works to get comfortable. Uta grins as she takes stock: champagne, chocolate truffles, gummy candies and—

“What is this?”

She pulls out a thick, dark purple, dildo. She flushes, her cheeks bright red as she stares at the object in her hand, truly unsure what to make of it, what to do with it. Uta glances up, other hand coming up to try and cover her face, embarrassed that someone caught her with it.

“It came from the gift bag!” She tries to explain, quickly moving to shove it back into the bag. “I swear I don’t even— I didn’t bring it with me!”

WILDCARD

[Have another idea? Drop a comment or you can message me through this journal or redfielding]

[dilettante]

( oh no, here she was traumatizing the newcomers now. when someone else at the resort had put the 'spook' into her, she swore she'd listen but also avoid being so harsh about it. yet the more she wrote, the more she did exactly what she was avoiding. )

oh see well....it's may and it's weird but there's a lot of us here from different points in time. it was 2002ish in my world by the time I got here, but I know a man from japan whose like....from the late 1800's I think?

and exorcist? oh um....well the resort is weird you know? last month it felt like it had a heart and it was beating. maybe you can exorcise it and set us all free? maybe not....

( please don't ask her, she's just a girl. )

[worldbent]

[...It almost feels a little too easy, to be able to broker deals face unseen and aura unfelt.]

[Then again, it's odd for ayakashi to use such human methods at all, isn't it?]

Fighting, you say? I wonder if you might tell me what sorts of opponents you are accustomed to?

For example, some require a little more delicacy than others. Opponents who are skilled with magic and trickery, and those who are all brawn must be handled quite differently.

Are you capable of overpowering an opponent without killing them?

[dulltool]

( spike was this close to rebutting that little 'smart ass' comment, but the moment johnny sat back and began to draw out a cigarette, he immediately shifted his focus elsewhere. it seemed the two had a struggle in common because much like himself, he too had struggled to find a pack of smokes that wasn't laced with aphrodisiacs or came from that 'weird smoked egg lounge' that he certainly didn't have enough chips to afford visiting.

so he moved a bit closer, holding the beef stick in his lips as if it were a smoke and decided ultimately to 'rub shoulders' with this guy. besides he didn't seem like the worst company. hopefully. )

Yeah yeah but can't a guy complain just a little? We're being asked to compete with that after all.

( an eight foot long monstrosity that looked like a rotting limb. )

Is that right? And tell me, what kind of man are you?

[intertwinedfates]

[It's here that Yato hesitates in responding, debating on how much about himself he wants to reveal on a first meeting, such as it is.

Well... Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?]

I've fought humans, ayakashi, and gods alike

while I'm more a direct fighter, I do have some skills in dealing with those who employ less direct methods, or have special abilities that require more finesse to handle

I definitely can do that - I'm also adept at using non-lethal force when it comes down to it. I'd be more powerful and have better control if my shinki were here, but I still can do plenty on my own

is there something in particular you're looking to have dealt with?

[dulltool]

creating new worlds?? let's set aside the 'interesting kinks' for now.

how does one exactly create a new world anyways?

[paperpusher]

[That's.

'Unexpected' isn't really the right word, because they have done this before-- this exact thing with Seiji ambushing him and then negging him, though it's been a while (for the former, anyway). Still, Natori isn't expecting it, because he's still thinking of this as an exorcist job first and foremost, and Matoba has never, ever been the sort who would put their dalliances before the work. That was always one of the things that came between them. 

Natori's mouth opens in surprise, so Matoba doesn't meet any resistance, but neither is he actively participating-- truthfully, it's probably a more nostalgic kiss than any they've had since Natori started getting coached in exactly how to sell a kiss for an audience. And all Matoba had to do was spend a year in a horny ayakashi hotel to get the authentic reactions back.

It's when Matoba scolds him for his inattentiveness that Natori also shoves back to get some distance between the two of them, heedless of the hand still in his hair.] What are you doing?

[--well, no, he knows that Matoba will say to that.] Besides complaining that I didn't attack you on sight. 

[The thing is: he's not just mildly annoyed at Matoba deciding to give him a lecture on #trust no bitch ayakashi. Matoba's pressed on a bruise that he would have no reason to suspect was there: Natori has been taken in by an ayakashi like this in the past two days. He let his guard down for a heartbeat, and he spent a day playing pretend in his uncle's house as a result. He doesn't need Matoba to tell him how stupid he's been; he already knows.] Shouldn't we be figuring out what the cause of all this is?

— premiere

[dilettante]

Tucked away in the back of the theatre for this specific viewing, Reira had kept herself a bit distracted by focusing on her watch and scrolling through the actor resumes that were popping up on the board. They were all very silly and while the screen before them certainly had a more alluring view, she wasn't very amused by any of it. It wasn't until someone sat next to her that she turned to look at them briefly before returning her attention back to the watch.

It wasn't until they actually began to speak and nearly yell loud enough to drown out the sound of the movie, that Reira turned to face the woman and immediately began to laugh. While she wasn't as shocked by the nature of this place when she first arrived, she certainly wasn't used to how open and free everything was. In fact it was a little liberating in a way but she understood that it wasn't as acceptable to some people.

"Oh that? They give away weird gifts all the time here like that. In fact just a while ago I was chased down by a crazy sales lady with a dildo in her hand! She kept waving the thing around while hunting me down!", she said, playfully laughing and smiling at the other's unfortunate surprise. At least her own story could bring her some comfort? In knowing she wasn't alone?

II. Indie Films
a. A Hard-on Bargain (cw: coercion, drug use, played dub/noncon)

[Despite not really matching most director's ideas of an illicit back-alley doctor, Aak was able to win one over with experience. And maybe a spiked drink. It's strange to be back in the "role" he used to play in his real life. The atmosphere is nice, though, a real fancy back-alley shop set with all sorts of jars and pottery.]

So your mama's sick? Oh, boo hoo. [The line reads are easy enough, although Aak likes to improvise and add his own flair. The director either approves of them or is still working through that earlier dosage and has no idea where he is.]

Medicine is expensive, you know... and with you on the run from the Peacock Gang, helping you puts my humble business at risk.

[Aak leans forward onto the countertop of the set, perfectly able to pretend his costar is some poor, unfortunate soul he's got in his clutches.]

What's it worth to you, huh?

b. Femboy Hooters vs Gothgirl IHOP (cw: optional ageplay dynamic)

[There hadn't been too many applicants for this role, apparently. A bunch had gotten filtered out by the long diatribe written by the scriptwriter about what constitutes a femboy, how the femboy is truly more than just the combination of femme and boy, and does the femboy fit into our modern understanding of gender. The writers were extremely passionate about the subject.]

[This "movie," if it could be called that, has quite a few dirty scenes. There's the Femboy and the Client, the Femboy versus the Gothgirl, and the celebratory orgy at the end.]

[Aak is not the expert on if he qualifies as a femboy but he showed up and got the role. He's been given a branded tank and a pair of excessively short shorts. The costume department had to do a quick fix to make sure his tail fit.]

Heyyy, welcome! Beer? Wings? Or how about me?

c. Nyan Neko Sugar Girls (cw: furry, possible master/pet, possible mating kink)

I told you, I'm not doing this one!

[There is drama on the set. Most of the jobs were Aak's choice, a pointed move to get more money. This, however, was clear entrapment of a Feline actor! He thought he was showing up to an entirely different movie only to discover it was some Nyan Neko something and the premise was cuddly desperate cats who loved their Master and each other.]

What do you mean contract?! I didn't sign- [He Did.] That was when I thought it was a different movie!

[Playing up the Feline traits was fine when he chose to, or to fluster key people, but no way did he want this image of himself out for anyone to find.]

d. My Step-Brother is From Another World! (cw: step-incest, risk of discovery, possible played dubcon)

[Reading over the script for this one, Aak thought... man, this is a kinda overwrought premise, ain't it?]

[The normal, everyday world was merged with a fantasy world. The main character has a steamy encounter with a "beastman" then the very next week finds out their parents are getting married! Now they're going to share a house despite the fact the sexual tension between them is still insane! Can lust truly conquer all?!]

[Anyways, he mostly just has to try and "tempt" the sibling into continuing their relationship right under their parents' noses. The set is a living room, with the couch pointed right at the TV, the noise prepared to drown out any sounds they may get up to. There's a hired actor to play the mother in the background, going back and forth between tasks in the kitchen.]

[Aak slides his hand across the couch, reaching out for his play-sibling's leg. Even if it was an act, even if the scenario was kind of overwrought, it was a little exciting to pretend they were so close to being discovered. That they were doing something so taboo with so little protections one way or another.]

III. Premiere
a. Red Carpet

[Aak's worked hard for his paychecks! It's been a little stressful, sure. As much as he loves attention from other people, being so publicized has started to wear on him. This should be the last wave of press, the last opportunity for the cameras to hound him, then he could hole up in his room for a while.]

[Despite being a low rank, Aak has earned a fair amount of fans for his unique looks and playful personality. He's brushing elbows with people in the crowd, waving and posing for cameras, he's doing a great job of it.]

[People who know him, though, or people who know cats, might see the little signs of his fraying patience. His tail lashes more often. His ears flick in a particular way. There's a little twitch to his lips, where sometimes his smile doesn't meet his eyes, he's tired but he shields that from public view. He's overstimulated and not in a sexy way.]

b. In the Theater (cw: possible toys, possible semipublic)

[Inside the theater, Aak has started to calm down. He'll watch some of the films, sure, but if it's boring then he's going to get entertainment from his seatmate.]

What d'you think? Does this one get you going? [What's your kink, buddy, does this movie turn you on, are you thinkin' the sexy thoughts? Do you like things? How embarrassing if you like things?]

[Alternatively, he's just turning on the vibrator that was in his bag and popping it onto his partner's lap as it it were a toy snake to startle them.]

[paperpusher]

[okay, weird time things confirmed. weirdly, that makes it easier to lighten up-- maybe it's because he's the professional while she seems a little distressed, and so here he goes wanting to reassure her instead.]

Wow, that far off? That's unexpected. I'm a little ahead of you-- it's 2005. So you might have to wait a few years for Fiance of the Funeral Procession after all. (But I was in a few commercials and one TV drama by 2002, so you still might have seen me before ✨)

Ah, I see. That makes sense. [...no, really. living resort feeding off of all the strong emotions (i.e., sex) of the residents makes more sense than randomly scooping people up to film pornos.] I'll do my best, I promise!

[usseewa]

Well, it’s kind complicated!
I’m not sure how describe it.
I bring people into another world with my music?

[worldbent]

[So easily poked through. Surely, the jokes have all been made about the cowardly paper-users. Matoba hardly needs to do much to look satisfied with his results when Natori stumbles about like this, already knowing that he's lost this trade.]

[Unfortunately, he has to go and dig himself a little deeper. The first question doesn't need an answer; he already surely knows what Matoba is after, or some approximation of why he would make such an unexpected move, if he thought about it a little. This is merely the sputtering of a delicate heart. But it's the second one that has Matoba's brow gently lofting, a motion that speaks volumes.]

Oh, dear.

[It's murmured, but clear enough- just another stinging reprimand. But it wouldn't be Matoba to just explain. He has to twist the ropes a little tighter.] Natori, have you read the rules of this game yet?

[senku]

That depends on how much you like fruit tarts.

Do you whisper sweet nothings to them? Tell them what bad pastries they've been?

Re: Premiere

[aureliasharr]

Of course it isn’t, even the Moroi step lightly on hallowed ground.

[Even the slightest flicker of movement is enough to draw Aurelia’s attention, and after a moment of confusion on how the little watch manages to do so many things she’s readjusting her seat so she can keep an eye on her companion’s wrist and still catch most of the movie. The terrible, terrible movie.]

And feeding on a uncorrupted priest? His mouth would be covered in burns. He certainly wouldn’t be… ugh.

[She subscribes into generally unhappy mutterings, a light dusting of pink crossing her cheeks as the film progresses into unabashed smut, with ‘blood’ dripping down the 'priests' neck and chest.]

[worldbent]

[Interesting. Very interesting.]

[Matoba might hazard a guess that this one is some manner of protective god. It's hard to know without encountering it in person, but it is far too friendly, and speaks far too akin to humans to be something that was born from the natural world- it must be something that was born from the human heart, he thinks.]

[What a dangerous thing to appear in a place full of corruption such as this.]

It seems you really do have a lot of experience. That fills me with some relief.

After all, as I'm sure you can tell, this "place" is filled with all manner of troublesome ayakashi that wish to prey on human souls. As one in the profession of protecting against such things, it's quite a lot to handle with so few capable hands.

So, how about it? Will you side with us?

[menhulu]

[ aerith isn't the only one surprised to see who their, ahem, co-star is, here. when she walks through the opening to his bedchambers, dan heng's brows lift and he pauses for a moment, before gathering himself. right. stay in character. all the better if they can get this in one take.

exhaling slowly, dan heng sits forward a little, watching through lidded eyes as she begins to disrobe. he's been intimate with her before of course, but he's never seen her without her clothing, and as she steps out of her dress he can't help but to be arrested by her beauty. the shape of her. miles of soft, glowing skin. dan heng's tail slithers along the bedclothes, the tufted tip flicking back and forth, betraying his interest even if he manages to keep his expression schooled and calm. ]

Very well.

[ he murmurs, bringing himself to sit at the edge of the bed with his bare toes on the crystal floor, beckoning her nearer, his eyes fixed on her own. she's a little nervous, he can see, so it's up to him to make sure she feels comfortable. keeping eye contact is a start. it's all right. it's just me. ]

Come closer, then, and let me see you.

[paperpusher]

[Predictably, Natori bristles at that quiet little oh dear. They're in something close enough to private (the beleagured ayakashi director doesn't count; if he wants a chance to have his very hot star return to the shoot, he's just going to have to deal with whatever this is) that Natori doesn't need to put on the polite face and swallow all of Matoba's little barbs, like he would if the entire contingent of the Matoba clan were in the room with them. That doesn't mean he doesn't have to swallow them anyway; he just has the wiggle room to bite back a little.]

The-- [He gestures vaguely with his left hand, the one sporting the watch; he'd tried to take it off before to no avail. (Honestly, he was surprised the director didn't insist he take it off, but-- look, there were a lot of half-assed things about this shoot.)] --with the trump cards? About collecting the...

--You're not actually playing it?
