[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!

Tsukasa Suou | Ensemble Stars!! || New Character!

[heavyliesthecrown]

WELCOME TO THE LOT:

[This is not the first time something strange has befallen Tsukasa Suou in his life. It would not be the last. It would not even be the last within the day. But in particular as an idol, and specifically as a member of Knights, he has gone through his fair share of strange encounters and activities. So much so that he has to wonder, for just a bit, if this is an elaborate event concocted by the agency. More specifically, Ensemble Square itself.

Whisking someone off into some sort of a program, or virtual reality, or any other fantastical place has become something of the norm. Not that he appreciates it. Not when he's on the kidnapped end, at least. But while he is alarmed to find himself in this peculiar predicament, he is not exactly frightened.

Mostly, he is simply confused. And, well, embarrassed. He would certainly never choose a robe this guady or with this... particular fit. Not with the way it drapes his body. Most confusing is why he has no clothes on except for this at all. He holds it tight against him as he clears his throat and addresses another individual inside the room, dressed similarly.]

It may be too much to expect at the moment, as I suspect you and I are in a similar predicament, based upon your own robe, but I do not suppose that you could tell me the meaning of all this?

[It is worth a shot.]

I seem to have been kept out of the loop, and that is a position I generally do not enjoy. I wish to rectify it immediately.

PICK OUT YOUR DUDS:

[All he wanted was something to wear other than the ridiculous robe he had awoken in. Almost nothing in this bizarre set is normal, including the wardrobe! Having picked something he thought was perhaps a little more decent than the rest, however, he had found himself carted off into a dressing room, the attire torn off, and forcibly stuffed into none other than a maid's costume.

'More suitable to the role,' they said.

As red as a beet, he clutches the sides of the skirt, trembling in sheer embarrassment. He wants to die. He wants someone to shoot him through the heart and put him out of this humiliation and end it now! Surely his ancestors are rolling around in their graves...! Ugh- He is the proud and noble head of the Suou family! He is the leader and king of Knights! So how is it that this has befallen him!?

He needs a sword.

Or at least he needs to figure out how to get out of this... this skimpy dress! The skirt is much too short, the tights rise to hug his thighs, the headpiece sports cat ears, and he isn't even going to bother figuring out how the tail is attached. It is incredibly suggestive even while it covers skin.

Worst of all, no matter how he struggles to remove any of the pieces, nothing budges. Not that he knows what to wear, even if he manages to slip it off. He's clearly distressed.]

C-Could someone please lend me a hand?

MAGICAL DANGERS:

[Truthfully, he doesn't know how he managed it, but he's become lost on the... Lord of the Wings? set. Apparently, this is truly just a set, but it is so wide and expansive that it is difficult to believe.

. . . Unless he clings to the reality that everything that has happened thus far is still some sort of virtual reality. It's the only way any of this makes sense. It feels as though he has been wandering around in circles for some time, however. Maybe it is time to call for help...?]

Hello?

[He cups his hands and yells into the surrounding wilderness.]

Is there anyone out there?

[It is a little embarrassing to admit he could become lost. But surely someone else will hear him on set and help him off.]

((OOC: Tsukasa is 18 in current canon and here! I am open to most things and open to all! My only real no's are kinks regarding bodily functions (Vomit/scat/etc) and not that I think it will happen... but no animal injury! If you are worried about anything, feel free to PM me and we can talk!))

Duds

[brother_nature]

[Chobe doesn't really give a fuck about the acting gigs going around, but he's not going to pass up the chance for a new outfit. He picks something relatively tame, a business suit with a bit of gangster flavor, as it's the closest thing to familiar on the racks. He cleans up nicely, though it doesn't really help his overall demeanor.

He's about to fuck on off when he hears someone struggling, and without curiosity piqued, he pokes his head into Tsukasa's dressing area.]

Hah! Well look at that, a stray cat that doesn't know how to clean itself up.

Re: Duds

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ With a frown, he turns toward the voice, about to open his mouth and protest- but it shuts after a moment.

. . . Never in his life has Tsukasa seen someone who looks this incredibly gruff. I-Is this part of the costuming? Because he would absolutely believe them to be some sort of gangster.

He recovers after a moment with a slight blush.]

It is not my fault. There is something funky about these clothes! They are too tight! Or something like that...

Re: Duds

[brother_nature]

[Oh boy does Chobe love it when his appearance makes folks second guess their next words. He's got no shame about his scars, jagged fangs, and blind eye--the intimidation check is working as it should be. And it immediately makes him clock this newcomer as someone he could have some fun with.

So he's sauntering over with a big ol' mischievous grin, cocking his head.]

They look like they're fittin' ya snug as a bug! Why pick 'em if ya didn't want to look like a cleanin' lady?

Re: Duds

[heavyliesthecrown]

[DANGER DANGER DANGER-

That is what his mind warns as he nears, but to his great relief, he manages to remain steady and releases a small, displeased huff. He doesn't think allowing himself to appear rattled will do him any good.

Which is a lot easier said than done. The color never fully leaves his cheeks as his fingers remain firm on the skirt.]

That is where you misunderstand. I am a gentleman and therefore chose something much more suitable to my refined appearance. Rather than listen to my desires, however, those ruffian attendants stripped me of my choice, quite literally, and forced this unsuitable uniform upon me!

[Frills, bows, and all...! He is clearly agast.]

And now, ridiculously, I cannot remove it. Never once have I imagined I would be placed in such a ludicrous predicament.

Re: Duds

[brother_nature]

[One could swear they hear the jaws theme in the distance when he approaches, idly circling him. He pockets his hands, raising an eyebrow as he completely fails at hiding his amusement.]

You love to yap, huh? Gentleman shouldn't complain so much, don't ya think?

[That's what he got out of all that, and he gives a scoffing laugh.]

But if yer that put off. . .you reeeally wanna get rid of it? Cuz I've got a pretty easy solution.

Re: Duds

[heavyliesthecrown]

[His head turns to follow him as he moves, a little wary, but indignant, too. Yaps too much...?? He barely opened his mouth! He does what he can to keep his temper reigned in. If he complains, then he will only prove the other man's words...!

Nng... that's unfair.

. . . He really does look like someone who could have fought a bear. That is definitely not why he isn't protesting so much. Not at all.]

If you have any ideas, then I am all ears. I have pulled and tugged and struggled for an embarrassing amount of time now. Who would make such impractical clothing??

Re: Duds

[brother_nature]

Impractical? It looks like it's doing its job to me.

[He stops a bit aways from him, considering, before he removes a hand from his pocket, holding it up. The palm begins to split open, revealing a very suspicious but sharp looking vine.]

Well! If you want, I could slice it off right now. So what say you?

also duds

[tfy]

[With the Nest transformed into one big dressing room, Hiyori has traded one hobby for another. Instead of stress-shopping, he's stress-trying-on-clothes! Or rather, trying on costumes!

He's been sad and anxious ever since a certain someone disappeared. There's no getting rid of those feelings entirely, but trying on cute outfits and admiring himself in the mirror help provide some distraction. The only issue is that the staff won't let him play dress-up in peace; they keep shoving different (skimpy) outfits his way. But he's firm in the belief that he looks good in anything, so when they pass him a fairy princess costume, he takes it as a challenge! He accessorizes the outfit with a matching crown, a pair of fairy wings, and a magic wand he brandishes in-hand. All in all, he looks ready to enchant people's hearts! (Or their other parts.)

The longer he stands there admiring his looks in the mirror, though, the more he feels something is missing. It's not enough that he looks the part of fairy princess; he also must act the part! Which is why he decides to turn around and "cast a spell" on the next person he sees.

He twirls around, letting his sheer skirt flare around him, waving his "magic wand" through the air. And the lucky person it lands on...]

Hm?

[He blinks. Then blinks again. And again.]

..... Tsukasa-kun?

[He blurts the name without thinking. But he's wrong. The distressed-looking person in front of him, wearing a frilly short outfit and cat ears, can't be who he thinks it is. There's no way. No one else from home is left, nobody but him and Jun. This can't be happening.]

That's not your name, is it? You're his adorably-dressed lookalike... right?

Re: also duds

[heavyliesthecrown]

[In sheer disbelief, Tsukasa stands temporarily dumbstruck, staring at the scantily clad figure and familiar face that stares back at him, just as surprised. Is he seeing things...? Since arriving, he has searched high and low for a familiar face. Whether it be idols or staff that he might recognize from ES. Not a single thing within this place has been familiar.

Until now.]

Tomoe-oniisama...?

[There is something close to relief that crosses his face. It is not as though he has been frightened or the like. Of course not. He has grown a great deal since the boy in middle school who had once become lost, running and crying, even calling out for his childhood fri...enemy.

But nothing has been familiar since he woke in that trailer. Nothing makes sense at all, if he is honest. As eccentric and incomprehensible as the idol in front of him can be from time to time, Tsukasa knows him. Has known him from even before he became an idol. Even if visits with the Tomoe family were infrequent, they all ran in similar circles- would see each other at the same formals and social functions often enough.

He is one of his respected seniors.]

At last, there is someone I recognize. I have been wandering confused since waking, with the most disturbing bird-like men wandering about and watching me-! What on earth is-

[His eyes finally register Hiyori's attire. His gaze sweeps to the sheer skirt and top and red blossoms all over again in his cheeks.]

W-What are you wearing??

[tfy]

[Maybe it's some kind of illusion. This place runs on magic, after all. He thought he saw a portrait of Nagisa in the Roost once, but it turned out to be somebody who looked like him. Thought he saw familiar faces from home at the arcade two months ago, too, and even spoke to Rinne there, but those were also mere illusions. Even if the Rinne he spoke to was real, he wasn't back permanently. He's still a statue, just like Leo is now.

So for someone from Leo's unit to show up, when no one from ES has been kidnapped here in over a year... why, it just doesn't make any sense. But the Tsukasa lookalike addresses him by name, and his stomach drops, eyes growing wider. No, no, this can't be right. And yet this is him, isn't it?

He's at a total loss, up until Tsukasa comments on his outfit. That snaps him out of his daze somewhat, causing him to lower the arm brandishing his "magic wand" and cross both arms across his chest for modesty (not that he isn't still showing a ton of skin elsewhere).]

A "cute costume," what else? Same as you're wearing!

[Said defensively.]

But never mind that. Tsukasa-kun...

[He swallows around the sudden lump that forms in his throat. Too much—it's too much to have something like this happen when he hasn't seen the others from ES in over a year, when he thought he never would again, when Leo just disappeared. How could he even begin to explain?]

Tsukasa-kun... before you woke up, what do you remember last?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Same as him, he says! Well maybe that isn't wrong, but it isn't as though he asked to dress like this...! He feels his face burn scarlet a moment, tugging the shirt hem down once more.

Not that it helps. If he had been able to tug the accursed skirt down, he wouldn't have been calling for some sort of aid to begin with. Choking down the humiliation he feels, it does take a moment for him to realize that Tomoe has already moved on. There is another moment of embarrassment, because, of course, there are more important matters at hand. He clears his throat.]

I-

[That is a peculiar question to ask. Unless he means to inquire over the manner in which he has been kidnapped? In which case, he honestly does not recall much at all at the moment. Not of how he wound up here at least.]

I was not asleep in bed, if that is what you mean to ask. Not that I remember at the very least. Last I recall, I was holding an inspection of the dorms in the pursuit of a rule breaker for the unreturned property of Yumenosaki, and sought to find and punish the culprit.

[tfy]

[It wasn't a very useful question. There was a time when the discrepancy between his and Rinne's and Leo's memories seemed important, as though it might tell them something about their situation. Now it seems like the least of all their problems.

He can't tell if Tsukasa is missing any memories like Rinne and Leo were, since what he described could have happened anytime. It does, however, cement the idea that this isn't an illusion or an imposter. Hiyori doesn't know the other boy well, but it doesn't matter: from flustered face to manner of speech to staunch regard for the rules, this person is, unquestionably, Suou Tsukasa-kun. Tsukasa's been brought here, of all places.

It's not a cause for celebration. It never is, when someone's kidnapped. But there's an added element of hurtfulness. As he looks at Tsukasa now, he's painfully conscious that the person who most wanted to see him is gone. And that makes his chest constrict, to the point where it's almost hard to breathe.]

Mm. So that's how it was.

[He sounds oddly subdued, compared to his usual self. He had to swallow down a lot of misery before he said the words.]

In my case, I did go to sleep. The main competition was about to start, and I'd been entrusted with a very important task. So, I went to bed early that night, thinking only about how to resolve things. I never dreamed I'd wake up somewhere else, let alone in this place.

[He shakes his head. That was so long ago now that it feels nostalgic. Something strange was going on with Nagisa and he'd felt worried. Yet compared to now...

He lets those thoughts trail into ellipses, focusing on Tsukasa again.]

Sorry. That probably raised even more questions. It's going to take a while to answer them, though. Do you need to sit down?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Main competition...? What main competition, exactly? There is always something going on, though he doesn't believe Eden was competing or the like at the time. Saegusa was out and busy, much to Tsukasa's complete relief, but he doesn't believe it was for an important competition.

Then again, that man is like a viper in the reeds, always slithering stealthily about. Maybe he is up to something? If that crafty Cosmic Production is hiding out on something good, then he will not allow New Dimension to fall behind!

. . . That is neither here nor there at the moment though, as it explains nothing of his present circumstances. Tomoe is here as well, and unless he is performing quite admirably, then he is also in the same predicament. Though he seems to understand it more than himself.]

I would love to sit down and listen to your thorough explanation. I assume this is something similar to what I hear happened to Valkyrie during SS. I've no memory of being stuffed into the virtual world, but it is the only thing that makes sense.

[Because what else could it be?]

H-However, I am worried that if I sit down, then the skirt will ride up and...w-well it is already indecent as is. I cannot tarnish Knights' reputation, especially because those bird holograms have been following me around all day.

magical dangers

[notscar]

Why the hell are ya screamin' so loud for?

[ the movie clearly needed mages and beastmen and guess who somehow fills both of those requirements for their budget? yeah. this guy. someone who is also used to sleeping anywhere it's warm and sunny and covered in enough foliage to protect him from prying eyes. has he been a very helpful or useful extra? hell no, this is leona kingscholar! he didn't sign up for this bs.

also he didn't sign up for a random alarm clock in the shape of a small, loud redhead. the seven wouldn't curse him with another one of those. right??? ]

Haven't you ever heard of bein' quiet on the set?

[ not like the cameras are rolling right now... he slowly sits up, rubbing his forehead, ears twitching while he glares at tsukasa. ]

Re: magical dangers

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Suddenly, there is a man. With...ears...? materializing from the brush and foliage of the forest floor. He startles when it suddenly moves before him, before relaxing a moment later. It isn't a wild animal after all (not that he imagines they would have real ones upon a set). Even if his long, wild hair somehow reminds him of a mane.]

Clearly, I am intentionally interrupting. A good thing, too, it appears, as I have finally stumbled upon someone.

[And about time. He has no idea how long he has been wandering around for. How is that the set is this large? Eyes focusing on the man before him, he has a somewhat wild, rugged appearance, as though the forest is meant to be his domain. He is certainly manly. Not for the first time does Tsukasa feel frustrated that, in contrast, he has been stuffed into something more suitable to a damsel.

... Something about sacrifices to a dragon. Even though he would clearly fit the part of a noble knight to the rescue much more.]

I wish for nothing more than to escape this set and allow everyone else to resume their proper filming. But somehow, I... have become turned around. You are the first face I have seen in some time.

[notscar]

[ yep! tsukasa is so lucky to have stumbled upon this beastman who is quick to raise an eyebrow and cross his arms while still in a seated position. at least he's not playing the part of said dragon, who would probably be more inclined to tackle the poor guy and force him to go along with the plot of the movie. then again--- there's nothing that says leona can't try to get his fill while the getting is good. ]

Dunno, ya look like ya belong on it. Didn't ya sign some kind of contract to be part of the movie? Otherwise ya shouldn't be here in the first place.

[ and neither should leona, in general. he would rather go to every scheduled class than be stuck at the golden peacock. but here he is. ]

Ya look like someone that should get chewed on.

[heavyliesthecrown]

If I did, it was coerced, and therefore, does not count.

[In all the craziness that has transpired since he awoke, he remembers being shoved and poked and prodded, and... well, he cannot even rightfully describe everything that has happened. But that merely adds to the ridiculousness of it all. He crosses his arms to stare down at him from above.]

And I am certainly not edible. I ought to have been cast as a noble knight. Instead, I was shoved into the wrong costume, if you can believe it.

[notscar]

Hm. Well, I'm not sayin' you can't be a noble knight dressed up like that.

[ if he wants to continue to be poked and prodded, he's hovering over the right person to do it. that he's so close without not realizing what kind of danger he might be in? if he's supposed to be a knight, surely he's the one that gets thrown to the lions when he's without a proper weapon or armor. ]

And I think you look very edible. I dunno if you'd be able to get away from me like this.

[ which is why he is slowly getting up to his feet, making sure tsukasa knows exactly how overmatched he might be. ]

magical dangers

[axingnicely]

[ his cries for help have been heard! shortly after he calls out, a small, fluffy-haired girl emerges from... somewhere, in a chainmail bikini. oh boy ]

Hello! Are you alright?

[ her voice is soft, before she realizes she needs to get into character, and.... strikes a dramatic pose ]

Um, fear not, because, I, Beauty Warrior, will help you!

[ the overacting is painful ]

Re: magical dangers

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He may have felt relief for a moment to finally hear another human voice, but then she appears before him, he is suddenly struck dumb as he realizes she is wearing nothing but a chainmail bikini.

Color sweeps across his face, burning his cheeks red. W-Why are none of the costumes in this place practical!? Not that his attire is any better. Earlier, it was a maid, and now he's been stuffed into something more fitting of a damsel, with a garter belt and stockings. Even worse is the fact that his undergarment is little more than a bikini bottom of all things.

He blinks, confused for a moment by her bravado. Is this an act? But he doesn't even have lines...! No, forget all of that, he isn't even acting right now.

He isn't supposed to be, is he?]

Miss.... Beauty Warrior? I seem to be turned around, somehow. I am embarrassed to confess that I have been wandering around for hours, but cannot seem to find my way out.

[axingnicely]

[ normally, she would be similarly mortified to be wearing this outfit, but the magic of the hotel is overtaking her at the moment, and she doesn't seem to realize she's wearing something that barely covers any skin ]

[ perhaps he is ]

That is alright. These lands are wild and dangerous.

[ she offers her hand to the fair maiden tsukasa ]

Please, take my hand. I will lead you to safety, far away from the dragon.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Oh-

[I-Is he supposed to follow along with this?? She is sticking to the premise of the story.

He really does rather wish he had been given the role of a noble knight, but before he knows it he does find himself taking her hand, the magic of the story and his costuming weaving through his consciousness now that someone else is here.

. . . Although he does find himself having to look away, his cheeks red and burning brighter with each chanced glance in her direction.]

Thank you, Beauty Warrior...!

[How is this...?? The desire for a rescue, he supposes, has been there all along. That had been why he was calling out.]

I shall put my safety in your lovely hands!

[axingnicely]

[ at least she's not having to carry him in her arms. it could be worse, probably. ]

[ instead, they walk hand in hand.... but will they be able to brave the dangerous lands? stay tuned ]

Of course. Leave it to me, princess-san. I will definitely protect you...!

[ she doesn't know his name, so that will have to do for now ]

welcome to the lot (because i want him to suffer)

[astraisborn]

[He's completely right that the other person is in the same predicament as him. Of course, she had the slight advantage of having been around for two months longer-- not much, but it is an advantage-- and slightly more experience to the insanity of this place to know that when she opened her eyes, the breeziness down below was definitely the hotel's fault.

Her nightgown back home wasn't exactly long, but normally, she still had underwear on.

It takes her a while before she finally climbs down from the top bunk of their shared wagon (it's always the top bunk, why?), hopefully far before he could look at her because uh-- yeah, he'd get an eyeful of her barenaked ass and cooch otherwise, and straightens herself out as she yawns. Her robe was in no better condition, but at least it was tight in the right places. No tits to ogle, just cleavage.]

Mmm~ Good morning to you too! I guess you're new around here?
