[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!

Natori Shuuichi | Natsume Yuujinchou | new

[paperpusher]

a. I'll be in my (our) trailer
[Natori is actually no stranger to dodging the paparazzi, nor to warding his sleeping space to keep strange creatures with bird heads from staring at him in the middle of the night. It's just a little disorienting to be worrying about both at once.

It's also a little disorienting to be naked and unaware of how he (or the others, because he can see that he unfortunately isn't alone) came to be here, but instincts work fast. As soon as he's awake enough to realize that he doesn't recognize the room as either his sterile apartment or a hotel on location for a shoot, he rolls out of bed like he's doing evasive manuevers and automatically reaches for his pocket for some exorcist supplies. Problem one: no supplies, not even a scrap of paper. Problem two: no pockets, just a gauzy robe trimmed with fake fur that ends around mid thigh. Okay. That's okay. He can improvise; that's the benefit of being able to manipulate paper. He might not have his normal tools with him for dealing with this supernatural threat (because this has to be a supernatural threat; he isn't going to be able to handle it if this is just a normal kidnapping) but he can make do with a notepad or even a stack of old receipts if he has to. He just needs to find some.

Sorry to whoever's sharing this very small trailer with him, because Natori immediately starts rummaging through the room with a methodical thoroughness, yanking the drawers out of the nightstands and leaving the cabinets hanging wide open in his search for 1) any paper products and 2) maybe some underpants. The only consideration he gives to noise level is that he murmurs the names of his shiki--] Hiiragi. Urihime? Sasago? [--rather than outright shouting for them, though his voice gets sharper with each one as they fail to materialize.

Okay. This is less okay. This might even be actively bad.]

b. his real headshots probably look just like this tbh

TYPECAST & SUITABLE ROLES

KINKS & FETISHES

• Holding hands
• Praise kink
• Exhibitionism

SPECIAL SKILLS

• Paper crafts

• Bonus lizard friend

c. but what's my motivation for joining the bottoms separatist commune?
[So here's the thing: Natori is a romance actor as his day job, and it suits him because he can turn his brain off and do it on autopilot. Even when he's dealing with the least professional production he's ever been in, where the 'script' is a one-line concept and the cast is whatever randos happened to be passing by in the supernatural kidnapping sex hotel, it's easier for him to turn on the flirtatious charm like he would any other role. Which means that instead of getting to the point of these indie shorts, he's standing around chewing the scenery and playing it like a pure romance. Sorry to his scene partners who have to put up with stuff like him clutching their hands together against his chest (three buttons undone and shirt carefully mussed but still on) and saying, with all apparent earnestness:]

I... have a deep confession to make. Do you promise to hear me out? The truth is... that I don't think it could ever work out between us. You see, [he bites his lip, breaking eye contact to glance down and away while still keeping as much of his face as possible in line of sight for the camera, and still not letting go.] As much as I wish I could give you what you need, I can't. I'm-- I'm a bottom, too.

[With a quiet slithering noise still audible to both the boom mic and his poor partner, a flat shadow shaped like a lizard crawls up his neck and around his jawline just in time for the dramatic reveal. For a moment, Natori acts as if nothing unusual happened, looking back hopefully as if his partner's love might overcome their fundamental compatibility, before abruptly breaking character as he realizes] --Oh, it's visible here, isn't it? [and finally releases their hands (and the stage).] Sorry about that. Should we do another take?

d. wildcard & info
[idk wildcard me blazer, toss me something and I'll roll with it or feel free to reach out if you'd like to hash something out! Natori is 23, open to m/m, m/f, m/*, 18+ for NSFW stuff, kinklist available here.]

c but taking it from the top (haha get it)

[worldbent]

"As much as I wish I could give you what you need, I can't. I'm-- I'm a bottom, too."


Is that so?

[Rather than lizard-chan, an all-too familiar voice interrupts the take first from the sidelines of the set, much to the chagrin of the director. His kvetching falls on deaf ears. Calm, too calm, with a discerning eye boring into Natori- Matoba's subtle smile says everything for him right off the bat.]

[It's the face he wears when he's readying to take someone apart.]

[Two weeks of voices calling out were easy to ignore. Ayakashi will use any means to deceive you, will read every surface thought and observe every inch of your mind and heart to find what will make you tick. Cursed as he is with the mark of Clubs the deceiver, it wasn't possible to avoid forever. But the willpower not to bend to it is what preserves one in those cases.]

[What stopped Matoba in his tracks this time wasn't a familiar voice or appeals to his weaknesses. It was more than that- a deeper sensation rattling the back of his brain, a demeanor he loathes, syrupy delivery, and the sight of a mask that's paper-thin and hardly holds up to much prodding. He can prove it- to himself.]

[If the house wanted to get to him- and oh, it has been trying- then this time, it has finally won a mark.]

My. Certain things would become very clear, were that true....

the curse of the bottoms separatist commune!!!

[paperpusher]

[He knows that voice.

It takes a lot for Natori to get genuinely distracted on set-- after all, he has a lot of experience ignoring the distracting things that are sitting right in front of his nose-- but this would do it. He turns completely away from his scene partner to stare off to the sidelines, his mask slipping just for a heartbeat as it always does in these moments.

Matoba was here? Here, when they're filming a dirty movie (some portion of Natori's brain is exceedingly grateful that he's been dragging this out and that Matoba spoke up before they got to the main event, because he really can't compartmentalize his two jobs when Matoba is around) in some sort of strange ayakashi realm? He suppose he shouldn't be surprised-- there were enough people here that this incident had to be on the exorcist community's radar-- it's just that... it's very hard to square the idea of Matoba Seiji, of all people, with their gratuitous sexual surroundings.

That's probably why he looks so dangerous, honestly. Natori pities whatever ayakashi had been foolish enough to try to engage with him before now.

Natori has long since dropped his poor partner's hands and tuned out the director; he tosses out a matter-of-fact] Taking five-- [and just walks off the set towards Matoba. This production is so low-rent that Natori doesn't even have a lav mic to worry about, so all he has to do to keep this conversation somewhat contained is pitch his voice low.]

Very funny, [he says, gracefully ignoring that jab (because he's the older, more mature one (haha)). He never usually gets embarrassed at the sort of nonsense he spouts when filming, but then again, he's not usually caught filming a ridiculous porno movie while he should be doing his exorcist work like Matoba must have been.] What is-- you're alone?

[At least Nanase wasn't here also watching this-- he can spare a second to be grateful that Matoba will still insist on going off on his own.]

[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.

[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?

a is for ayakashi

[notscar]

[ feels like even when he's finally at the top of the resort, he's still not immune to the whimsy of getting his ass randomly dragged out of bed and placed in a completely different bed. when will leona finally get the rest that he deserves, with or without a willing bedpartner?

honestly, he doesn't really mind. he'd love to feign disinterest but after a year+ of being stuck at the golden peacock, it's much easier and simpler to go the direct route of straightforwardness.

anyway. ]

Do ya mind? Tryin' to sleep here.

[ doesn't matter if they're new or not to the experience, guy sounds like he's tearing the place apart for something that's probably super easy to find. maybe he should just open his eyes--- ]

[paperpusher]

[That's definitely an ayakashi in that bed! Natori glances over to gauge how likely it seems that he's about to get attacked (not particularly), but doesn't stop his searching.]

Haha, sorry for intruding. [Spoilers: he couldn't possibly sound less sorry.] Is this your place? I'll be on my way as soon as I can.

[notscar]

[ he's not an ayakashi and he'll continue to fight against being called one, but for now leona's ears both twitch as he turns onto his side. with an elbow digging into the mattress to help keep his head up, the sleepy lion-man raises an eyebrow. ]

Not my place. It's yours, whether ya like it or not.

[ he'll keep some sheets covering his lower half. not the first time he's woken up naked around here either. ]

What're ya lookin' for anyway.

[paperpusher]

[Natori raises an eyebrow right back, because even putting aside all of the other questions: if this is supposed to be his place, why's Leona in here?] Alright then. In that case, you're welcome to stay in the bed if you want to, but it's awfully presumptuous to complain about my behavior when you're the visitor.

[Presumptuous, but not at all surprising from an ayakashi. But again, this one is chatting and hasn't tried to kill him yet, so he's not the worst Natori has come across by far. Not even the worst that Natori has woken up besides.]

Some paper and something to write with. You'd think there'd be at least a memo pad on the desk, but it doesn't seem like it. [In fact, he hasn't found any paper at all in this entire trailer. This is a surreal enough experience that it's not like he has a lot to compare it to, but it still feels a little personal.]

C.

[broca]

[ One cannot possibly fault the crew around these movies for type casting someone for their appearance, because the burly man pushing six three with the face of a hired thug is probably not who most people would think to cast for a film about two bottoms struggling to find love and sexual fulfillment with one another.

One can, however, absolutely fault the hell out of them for not bothering to do proper auditions for these roles, because while Natori is chewing the scenery and seeming to have the time of his life with this very D-rate porno, Broca's expression has not changed once. His tail twitches, his fuzzy little ears are pinned back against his head, but his expression has been set at a moody scowl since walking onto the set.

The only thing that takes his attention away from Natori hamming it up is the lizard crawling across his face, and even then he barely even blinks at that. It's not until character is broken that he says something in the first place as he's quick to take his hands back and cross his arms, protective of his big, callous mitts. ]

What's visible?

[ His weird magic tattoo doesn't strike Broca as that odd, but the fact that it might not be something most people can normally see does not begin to occur to him. ]

[paperpusher]

[What an innovative twist from a movie that's already got a major twist in the sexual incompatibility of the leads! The subversion of expectations! Perhaps even a bait and switch, where at first the audience is led to believe that the stoic, burly man was a bottom with Natori's, er, decidedly more noodle-like character as an unlikely top, only for the dramatic reveal at the climax of the film? Ah, though he supposes the title already gives the game away...

Anyway, Broca would be forgiven for thinking that Natori was both fully committed to the success of this feature and completely unaware of his costar's noticeable lack of enthusiasm up until the moment he breaks character; it's only once he's casually blown the shot that he lets some sarcasm bleed through.]

Oh, most humans can't see this, [he says, tapping the lizard twice where it sits on his jaw. It doesn't seem to react in any way to being touched. The way he says 'humans' seems to take for granted that Broca isn't one; Broca's ears and tails gets him immediately Assigned Ayakashi By Stubborn Exorcist.] It still shows up on film, but since the editors don't notice it, it tends to cause continuity errors.

[broca]

[ It's incredible how with each new person he's eventually forced to argue in defense of his own humanity. That exorcists are worse about it than others won't be a surprise to him given his own experiences, though at least he's stopped having to have that particular argument with one of them.

He's not looking forward to another, and the tone has his tail twitching in a sharp, agitated movement. He'll chalk it up to a mistake this time, and comment instead. ]

How come I can see it then?

[ Not in film either, just looking directly at the man's face. There's an edge to his voice as he asks that, suggesting there is a wrong answer to this particular question of his. ]

[paperpusher]

[Natori can pick up on the warning edge, and the very clear implication that Broca, at least, does consider himself to fall into that category. But here's where Natori is different from some other exorcists that Broca may have met: he doesn't go out of his way to needlessly antagonize strangers, human or otherwise. To what degree that's out of professional necessity rather than genuine kindness or tact is up for debate, but the end result is the same. If Broca wants to call himself human, Natori doesn't see the need to argue with him about it. (Natori doesn't believe him, of course, but he's not going to be rude to his face about it. That's better (?))

So: Natori gently raises his eyebrows, then gestures at their surroundings as if to encompass the entirety of the malevolent sex hotel.] The rules are different when we're in the ayakashi realm. Even a totally normal person with no special abilities to speak of can see the supernatural when in their territory. It can be a shock, but it's probably better for them that they can see what they've gotten themselves into. It'd be a pain if you couldn't see the director, right?

[He nods towards the director, who waves one of his many tentacles out of his pile of goo body. (Natori really hopes that this one isn't controversial.)]

you know it's only girls that get all fussy about their weight right
it's weird when guys do it

I objected on behalf of all of the beautiful women out there! It's rude to ask them, so I said so in solidarity ✨

[yeah ok.]

[pyrolyzed]

how are you this annoying with one sentence

[paperpusher]

Is that annoying? I don't have a lot of friends who are guys, so I don't know ❤️

a… 😳

[swordhardy]

[ Natori’s day is about to get worse! Yay!

Shifting his schedule to accommodate latenight filming and after-shooting drinks hadn’t been difficult, per se, but it does have Rokurou’s normal schedule completely thrown off. Rather than rising precisely at 6AM every morning to work out for a few hours, he’s sleeping in to accommodate the new hours. It doesn’t help that he’s a lush constantly being gifted bottles of wine for a job well done; he had hit the nightcap pretty hard and now he’s paying the price, head throbbing with hangover.

Yes, even malevolent daemons can be pathetic soggy lightweights. Which is why he squints to groggy awareness beneath his bunched blankets, previously still mountain shifting as he rolls over with an unhappy noise. With consciousness comes the spike of his malevolent energy—nothing anyone normal would notice, but to those sensitive to the supernatural, it’s akin to low-simmering embers suddenly exploding into flame. Only where heat and fire are warming, malevolence is dark and cloying. Alarming, to suddenly have that breathing down your neck.

Rokurou, blessedly unaware that he’s been cursed with sharing a wagon with an exorcist, sits up fully in a mess of long inky hair. He yawns, feline in the way he smacks his tongue and blinks, turning his scraggly head—looking very much like Sadako crawling out of the well—in vague annoyance of the noise. ]

Gggrrmmmmmnnn?

[ What’s this guy going on about… if he’s looking for his girlfriends, they probably left already, annoying… make your own breakfast, you womanizer... but that groan born from his hangover sounds more like a cursed creature’s wail, and the way he awkwardly swings his legs and hobbles forward (god, he’s gotta piss so so so so bad) and toward the other occupant of the honeywagon (the tiny bathroom is behind you, sir) isnt the smoothest he’s ever been. ]

🥰

[paperpusher]

[Wow, ACTIVELY BAD confirmed!!

Natori's facing the other direction when he feels a sudden spike in malevolent energy from the bed behind him. Shit-- he hasn't been able to scrounge up any paper, he's got no tools on him at all, not even a spare stick to use as a staff-- if only his girlfriends were here!

He whirls around with just enough time to see the ayakashi lurch towards him, its hair streaming out behind it as it moans. No time to dodge out of the way in this tiny space. It's clearly powerful enough to cause some real damage, and definitely not something he can take care of while completely unarmed. His only chance is to hit it hard and try to get past it while it's off balance.

There's a vase of flowers in grabbing distance-- a thank-you gift from a director, maybe? What matters is that the gifter didn't cheap out with plastic, but rather sprung for the real glass. It's got just enough heft with the water in it that Natori thinks he has a shot.

He whips it right at Rokurou's head, letting fly then immediately turning his face away even before he sees it connect to avoid getting a shower of glass right in the goods. Please work.]

Our romance begins 🥰 also cw: blood

[swordhardy]

[ It works. Oh boy, does it work.

Embarrassing for a war daemon. But, to be fair, he’s really hungover and his back teeth are floating. What normal person, daemon or otherwise, would anticipate the megahot blonde in their shared wagon immediately turning into a bug-eyed, feral chihuahua and launching an attack as soon as provoked? Hell, when did he even do any provoking!?

The vase slams into his head. Water and flowers soak him from crown to sole, but that’s nothing compared the shattered glass. A huge piece is wedged into his forehead. The rest falls between them, scratching up Rokurou’s bare chest and arms as well as scattering dangerously across the floor.

The daemon remains grounded to the spot, bright red blood dripping from the glass wedge in his forehead and down his face, no longer obscured by his hair. Shockingly, what face that’s visible (and now bloody) isn’t a gnarled oni face with jagged teeth. ]

This… really isn’t good for my hangover. [ he coughs, spitting out some glass, ] Ouch…

[ Right now, thanks to that glass in his head, he’s seeing two megahot blondes. He points accusingly at one—the wrong one. ]

What the hell was that for!? I didn’t steal your girlfriends!

[paperpusher]

[It is also immediately apparent to Natori that it worked, because he is not spared the backlash from his own attack. Although Rou eats the majority of the glass (some literally), Natori can feel a few stray pieces of shrapnel bounce against his extremely insufficient robes before raining down on the floor with the rest. (Don't worry, his face is safe.)

Here's how you really know that Natori used this intense burst of violence as an emergency measure and not as a regular combat strategy: it did not occur to him until this moment that he doesn't even have slippers, as if his house slippers would do anything to protect him from the glass messing up his exit strategy. When this hits him, he looks back at his imminent death by gnarled oni, only to realize that it's just, like. A guy.]

Uh. [Well, he didn't kill a random guy, at least? Or at least not yet.] Why'd you charge at me?

[This sounds very weak, even to his ears. Just gonna carefully... edge in the opposite direction from the empty air that Rokurou is accusing.]

[ashioki]

how the hell is holding hands a kink

un: akeboshi

[paperpusher]

You should give it a try ✨ A dramatic hand-holding scene can be a more intimate and exciting turning point in a romance than the first kiss, if you play it right and you have a director with the right vision!

[ashioki]

i know hand holding is intimate!

[ don't lecture him about romance, he has shoujo baked into his very dna okay— ]

what's that gotta do with being a kink?? kinks are just what gets your rocks off right?

you're saying just holding someone's hand can get you off?

[paperpusher]

[shoujo on shoujo violence!!!]

Oh, is that what it means? ✨✨ Good to know!

[that is neither believable nor an answer]
