[goldmods]

【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

We are pleased to announce that several films have begun production in the resort! All guests are encouraged to participate as actors and crew during this time. Two highly anticipated blockbusters are part of the filming block and will have an opening night premiere at the newly renovated Hatchbox Theater.

We would also like to extend a gentle warning to all actors. New tabloids and journalists have snuck into the Peacock alongside production, so please be cautious of aggressive reporters. We would hate to see our beloved guests embroiled in public scandal.

Please look forward to your debut on the silver screen and all of the new artistic content soon available for your viewing pleasure! 】

HONEYWAGONS

A STAR'S WELCOME

WELCOME TO THE LOT

► All of these new stars are being welcomed to the Peacock in style. The Nest, the resort's premier massive shopping complex, is now lined with dozens upon dozens of trailers, each with a glittering gold star on the door. While unassuming on the outside, the inside of these honeywagons are pockets of luxury in tiny square footage. The catch? Why, characters are stuffed up to 4 in a trailer, of course. We're sure you'll figure something out.

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are a mixed bag of gaudy glitz and old money velvet, reflecting the dual faces of Hollywood. Whether you're sporting some classic luxury with a pipe or draped in cheetah faux fur, these robes are skimpy, potentially giving a raunchy photoshoot to those pesky paparazzi!

► Existing characters are welcome to take up residence in any empty slots in these honeywagons. Just because you're not the newest ingenue on the block doesn't mean you're forgotten. Besides, we need you experienced actors close to set for quick costume changes and touch-ups. No need to ask to be moved! It’s all taken care of already.

HIRED HENS

► Several security guards have been newly hired to protect the actors from paparazzi and potential threats. These burly cocos and hens all have three things in common: tight black suits, rippling muscles, and owl heads. These heads aren't just for show; this elite group of guards can swivel their heads 360 degrees to provide the utmost level of surveillance.

► Unfortunately for actors, these owls are both nocturnal and way too into their jobs. They particularly like doing rounds during night hours and staring into the windows of the honeywagons to watch the actors sleep. Some owls will creep into the trailers to watch over their charges by sitting at their bedsides. An owl may be there, staring, where you least expect it. However, their diligence may not necessarily be a bad thing!

► Alongside owl security, actors may find themselves bombarded by paparazzi. These photo-hungry tabloid journalists are all after shots that will fetch a high price, willing to do anything for a scoop. The majority of these new paparazzi, in contrast to owl security, have hummingbird heads. They're just as quick too, zooming in and out of both backstage and the sets in search of a scandal.

► Be careful, because hummingbirds aren't the only paparazzi. That's right — guests, new or existing, may find themselves scouted to play ball with the tabloids. They may not be as obvious as those aggressive hummingbird reporters; some may even be working undercover in search of a scandal to sell to the highest bidder. All actors are at risk of embarrassing or defamatory photos being published in resort magazines or posted to the bulletin boards.

ROLE REGISTER

► What better way to get to know your colleagues than to check out their resume? All guests will have access to the actor registry, which provides an overview of actors and basic information about them.

► The registry, with the help of the Golden Peacock's AI, can also flag complementary resumes. An actor that may have good chemistry, match the requirements for a particular scene, or has unique experience relevant to an upcoming job may reappear at the top of the search several times.

► Actors can communicate through the registry. There is a general messaging board where everyone can see what is posted and personal inboxes for private correspondence with an actor. Actors are encouraged to collaberate because many of the scenes in the available movie projects involve intimacy.

COSTUME DEPARTMENT

GET INTO CHARACTER

PICK OUT YOUR DUDS

► The trendy clothing boutiques of The Nest have been transformed. The walls between these small stores have vanished to create a vast costume warehouse divided by department, seemingly overnight. Actors may freely browse the racks to select suitable costumes for the roles they've been cast. The directors aren't picky about how their actors dress as long as it suits the part, allowing guests creative freedom as part of the process.

► Actors that choose costumes that are extremely unsuitable for their roles will be forced to change into something chosen by costuming staff. These mandated costumes will be on theme but will always be slutty, sexy, and enhance an actor's unique "assets". An actor blessed with a bountiful bosom may find themselves wearing a tight little lace bra while an actor with a thick ass may end up in assless chaps. It's all about giving the people what they want, you know?

► All articles in the warehouse run the risk of being possessed. There are no clear-cut signs as to which pieces are cursed and which are not before putting something on. Possessed costumes come in two flavors: Type A and Type B.

Type A possessions are straightforward. The actor wearing a Type A costume cannot remove it alone — they will find that no matter how many times they grab a button or tug on that zipper tab, nothing will unfasten. Someone else must remove the costume for them. Good thing there are a bunch of changing rooms just big enough to fit two people inside around, huh?

Type B possessions are unique. The actor wearing the costume will begin to feel influenced by it. They may feel inspired or compelled to act out the role it embodies. This possession will not be satisfied until some level of resonance between actor and role is achieved. While the possession isn't satisfied the costume cannot be removed. But hey, you're an actor headed to set, so surely this is only gravy for your performance!

DOLLED UP

► Done getting into costume? Head over to hair and makeup! After all, clothes are only half the battle. Whether you need to get glammed up or slapped into some monster makeup, the makeup artists are here to help. Mostly. Actually, they're super understaffed, and there aren't enough makeup artists to meet demand. Though they hate to ask, could you guys potentially help each other get ready?

► Actors confident in their makeup and hair styling skills (or just confident) will be allowed to use any tools to help get their fellow actors ready. However, any actors kind enough to jump in and assist will be warned that many of these products are made at home in the Golden Peacock. If not used with discretion, they can potentially make the actor being worked on ... extremely horny! Like a game of Russian roulette, one in five of all beauty products are created with aphrodisiacs. Ironically, this isn't even for the sake of getting guests into the Game 52 spirit — their supplies are just like that.

► Fill-in artists shouldn't fret too much. The majority of those products only have aphrodisiacs in minuscule amounts. When applied carefully they typically cause minor arousal or sensitivity. Artists that spray and paint with reckless abandon, however, may find a new problem on their hands!

GRAB A GIG

FIND YOUR BIG BREAK

GETTING TO SET

► The Golden Peacock is buzzing with excitement for two big blockbusters that are currently in production: LORD OF THE WINGS and STAR WARBLERS. Both of these films come from movie franchises that are adored resort-wide for their iconic blend of story, romance, porn, and action.

► Directors will be filming dozens of scenes with different actors in lead and supporting roles. Actors are given creative freedom on how to approach their roles, with barebones scripts that offer a general idea of where the scene should go and some spicy lines here and there. One actor’s take on a role may be different than another’s.

For example, three different actors portraying the Dragon Lord in Lord of the Wings may take their portrayals three different ways. A lonely Dragon Lord, a villainous Dragon Lord, and a misunderstood Dragon Lord are all fair game. Supporting characters such as the elves and faeries the warriors meet during their travels are completely free game within the bounds of “elf” and “fairy” in classic movie tropes.

► Two new floors have appeared in the ever-changing Peacock, each dedicated to one of the films, due to their massive and comprehensive sets. Guests will discover two new buttons on every elevator’s operating panel. Actors and fans are invited to enjoy these sets even when the camera isn’t rolling — this blend of high-tech VR and real world elements comes at a very high budget, so guests are encouraged get their fill while they’re available!

INDIE HITS

► In addition to the two massive blockbusters, several spin-off series and porn shorts currently casting and underway. The directors of these major motion pictures have kindly permitted the filming of smaller projects using these unique movie sets when they aren’t already in use. Smalltime directors and film enthusiasts are eagerly pitching their porn scripts in hopes that they’ll get made!

► Several smaller sets can be found around the Peacock for these homegrown productions. While some scripts utilize locations that can already be found in the Peacock, other long-standing guests have pooled their money together to establish a handful of sets not already available in the resort. These sets are open for use at any time.

► Unlike the large production crews of Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers, these smaller porn projects do not have a big budget for staff. Some projects utilize AI and drones to film, so actors that are shy about getting down and dirty around a physical cameraman need not worry! Both the producers and the Golden Peacock staff want their stars to be as comfortable as possible to fully enjoy the experience.

SPIN THE WHEEL

► It wouldn’t be the Golden Peacock if there weren’t some kind of game-like twist! While actors are encouraged to go out for any roles or films they find interesting, those looking to win large and extra-large chip payments can spin the fetish wheel to up the ante. Actors that spin the fetish wheel must incorporate what the ticker lands on into their next role.

► Can’t manage to work it into your scene? Those that fail their fetish task will find a huge chip deduction from their bank account and a punishment waiting for them. Any actors that fail the game must dress up in sexy costumes and go around the Golden Peacock handing out fliers for the premiere of Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers, with strict instructions to dance sexily for anyone that accepts a flier. Hey, the directors have spent tons of money on these movies, they’ll take free advertising however they can get it.

► SPIN THE WHEEL HERE!

LORD OF THE WINGS

AN EPIC (AND SEXY) JOURNEY

【 Once upon a time, in a magical land far, far away...

The Lord of the Wings, a massive dragon with no equal, demanded a bride tribute from all of the kingdoms across the continent. Every month each province was required to send their most beautiful men and women to become the dragon's next bride(s). Ever greedy, the dragon was not satisfied with having one bride. Not with twelve brides, nor two hundred brides. The dragon always demanded more. The number of hot people around to bang dwindled. Things were looking grim.

Soon, a group of brave warriors gathered to travel the lands and slay this dragon. They enjoyed adventures of fucking their way through sirens, fucking their way though the faeries, and fucking their way through the mage school and beastmen tribes. They reached the dragon's crystal lair where the dragon, who took beautiful humanoid form, approached them.

The dragon promised that if any warrior could satisfy them sexually, they would return all of the brides to their homes. Each warrior took a turn trying to satisfy the dragon — but only with their efforts combined in one massive orgy was the dragon finally satisfied.

All of the brides were released and the warriors moved into the crystal lair to live a loving polyamorous relationship with the dragon. All was well. The end. 】

A FANTASTICAL SET

► Guests taking the elevator to the new floor labeled 'LORD OF THE WINGS SET' will are greeted with a cool, damp breeze as soon as the doors open. Unlike any other area of the resort, this set evokes a very real sensation of stepping out onto the earth to embrace snowcapped mountains, lush forests, and wide-open sky. The size of this set is massive with different climates depending upon where filming is happening. Towns, villages, and tribes can also be found.

► The set is teeming with background actors that have been instructed to stay in character at all times. Actors may encounter both friend and foe while exploring the set, regardless of whether or not the cameras are rolling. Lord of the Wings features a wide range of character types ranging from humans and elves to monsters and beasts.

► Key locations in The Lord of the Wings are: human villages; siren's cove; fairy's forest; Beastmen wilds; Elven mountains; and the dragon's crystal lair. But these are not the only locations in the set! Actors will find a fantastical range of areas to explore and enjoy.

MAGICAL DANGERS

When it comes to movie magic, the Golden Peacock is more magic than movie! While sets are generally safe and violence is simulated, there are elements of the film that can affect actors for real. If guests aren't careful, they may really find themselves in a sticky situation and need a clever Hollywood way to get out of it. Or maybe they'll need to live out a classic trope for real.

► LIEBERRIES: Found in the Elven mountains. Delicious but cursed: you can only lie for 20 minutes after consumption. Beware misunderstandings!

► SNUGGLEBLOSSOMS: Found in the Fairy forest. These charming blossoms produce an immense amount of pollen. Breathing in snuggleblossom pollen is lethal. The only cure is to fuck within two hours of inhaling.

► THERAPANGO: Found in the Siren's cove. Anyone eating it will spill their emotional baggage to the nearest object (tree, statue, enemy soldier). It's cathartic, if not dignified.

► RAINBOW CRYSTALS: Found in the dragon's crystal lair. Contact with a rainbow crystal will increase endurance but delay/deny orgasms. No wonder the dragon was so hard up!

STAR WARBLERS

A THRILLING (AND SEXY) SPACE OPERA

【 Once upon a time, in a galaxy, far away...

The Palm Warblers and the Pine Warblers, two different legions of the massive Warbler fleet, began to battle. Whenever their ships would meet in space they would fight with the winner taking prisoners of war. After one such battle, a captured Captain of the Palm Warbler legion held in prison met a Lieutenant of the Pine Warbler tribe. After some rivalry, the two fell deeply in love.

They had a ton of kinky prison sex. However, the two were not satisfied with fucking between prison bars. They wanted to properly marry. But how could they with their two legions at war?

They each gathered friends and more sex was had between all. More matches between the Palms and the Pines happened, leading to even more kinky space sex. Bolstered by friendship and newfound fetishes, they gripped their laser guns and seized the science lab where some important keystone gemstone was being examined and researched by space scientists. This stone was very important for the future breeding of the Warbler race.

By holding the lab hostage, the ship's Commander put down their weapons and handed over the keys. The Palm Captain and the Pine Lieutenant held hands as they steered the ship off to find a new planet where they could live in peace together. The war between the two tribes ended because of good sex. All was well. The end. 】

A TASTE OF OUTER SPACE

► Guests taking the elevator to the new floor labeled 'STAR WARBLERS' will greeted with the ethereal hue of stars and planets outside of crystal-clear windows. While the set of Star Warblers is smaller than Lord of the Wings, it's far more detailed, completely imitating a starship traveling through the vastness of space. All of the elements of the spaceship are dripping in high-tech science fiction.

► The set includes background actors that have been instructed to stay in character at all times. Actors may encounter both friend and foe while exploring the set, regardless of whether or not the cameras are rolling. The background actors of Star Warblers are primarily Warbler Troops wearing helmets, highly ranked Warblers in sharp military uniforms, and white-coat clad scientists.

► Key locations in Star Warblers are: the prison hold, the ship's bridge, the command deck, and the ship's research laboratory. But these are not the only locations in the set! Actors will find a range of futuristic areas to explore on the ship.

ALIEN THREATS

Why keep the science fiction fictional when the Peacock can provide the real thing? While sets are generally safe and violence is simulated, there are elements of the film that can affect actors for real. If guests aren't careful, they may really find themselves in a sticky situation and need a clever Hollywood way to get out of it. Or maybe they'll need to live out a classic trope for real.

► 'TORTURE' BOTS: Found in the prison hold. Robots programmed to 'torture' prisoners into revealing information. These bots are equipped with dildos, vibrators, pussy pocket hands, lube jets, feather ticklers, etc. These bots can be controlled by the wardens for more intimate 'torture' sessions.

► SPACE RATS: Found in various locations. Small, neon rats that run around the hallways and in cargo areas of the ship. If bitten by a space rat, their bite will continue to swell until the bitten person has sex.

► GREEN GOOP: Found in the research labs. In syringes and in massive bubbling pods. When not watched, the goop will move on its own and try to absorb anyone around into it.

► GEMSTONE EGG: Found in the research lab. The gemstone egg that the scientists are evaluating, important for the future of the Warbler race. Any physical contact with the gemstone egg will inspire the sudden urge to mate and breed.

BOX OFFICE BOOM

► "And many, many, many more!" is no exaggeration. Smalltime directors and long-standing guests are producing dozens of pornos and these pornos are in need of actors. The above is not the extent of possibility. Players are encouraged to make up any kind of porno scene they want! Characters may take advantage of open sets to make videos or take photoshoots for their personal use, general public release not required.

► These pornos typically lack story and focus more on fetish and kink. The plots are loose, the lines are ad-libbed, and if there are any crew around it's one guy in a hoodie eating a donut. However, the cameras available for rent are just as high quality as the ones used on Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers. If that's not your style, all Watches have the capability to connect via bluetooth to film through standing cameras.

► Actors that participate in filming will receive a large payout per role. The more jobs you take, the more money you'll make! Alternatively, actors that don't fill any roles may find their bank accounts suddenly plunged deep into the red, no matter how rich they may have been before.

EXTRA SETS

Current Peacock locations and all of the Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers sets may be used for pornos. However, the world of kink is vast and variety is the spice of life. Several smaller open sets not usually available have appeared around the resort for actor use.

► CASTLE(S): Sets featuring the aesthetics of historical castles. Numerous versions are available, each influenced by a different culture (eg, English; French; Italian, Spanish; Russian; Chinese; Japanese; Korean; etc).

► CHURCH: A church stylized after Catholic/Christian aesthetics. Includes a confessional, pews, altar, and worship room.

► MANSION: A luxurious mansion designed to evoke high-class old money. Includes a servants' quarters for clandestine cross-class affairs.

► BEACH: An enclosed set with powdery sand and an artificial ocean. Includes grottos, a lifeguard station, and a large rubber shark.

► OFFICE: A plain work office lacking any particular unique qualities. Includes cubicles, copy machine, manager's office, and conference rooms. Smells like soul-sucking capitalism.

PREMIERE

YOUR BIG DEBUT

WALK THE RED CARPET

► We’re rolling out the red carpet! Lord of the Wings and Star Warblers open the same night. All actors that participated in any film, be it one of the blockbusters or a smaller project, are invited to dress to the nines and blow kisses to their adoring fans while strutting their stuff. Actors will have the chance to take fabulous glam photoshoots and share their thoughts about filming with reporters. Be careful, anything that happens on the red carpet can become tomorrow’s hot new gossip. Some of those pesky hummingbird journalists are so eager for a scandal that they’ll make something happen, sneakily!

► The Golden Peacock has upgraded its formerly dinky little theater into a grand multiplex for the occasion, so actors and audience can enjoy these films in delicious IMAX. The multiplex is lush in red velvet and fabulous “bed” seats — each seat is designed to couple two guests together. You won’t be lonely during the screening since cuddling up with someone else is mandatory to enjoy the movie(s).

► All premiere attendees will be gifted expensive swag bags upon entrance to the theater. Inside each bag guests will find a bottle of champagne, chocolate truffles, gourmet popcorn, trendy sodas, gummy candies … and one random sex toy. No harm in spicing up a special premiere, right?

The note included with the sex toy explains: 【 Get your seat partner off with this toy before the film ends for a special prize! 】 What’s the prize? Those that get their seat-partner off during the film will be given a Golden Globe. This exclusive gold statue comes in two styles: penis with balls or vagina with breasts. Congratulations!

Comments

[memori3s]

[ Good thing Scott's wearing shades so Minato can't see the way he's staring. On the other hand, it's... pretty obvious, based on how Scott's jaw stays dropped for a little too long.

Minato arches a brow. Wow. He stopped yelling about how uncomfortable his crotch was really fast. ]

I'm... not sure I'd call it a costume.

[ He frowns a bit and tugs at the sleeve. The fabric's actually pretty high quality? Which also means, unfortunately, it's pretty thick too. Part of him almost wishes he was in a costume. A costume would probably consist of an impractically short skirt and shorter sleeves. ]

It feels like the real thing.

[ Why does he know what the real thing feels like. ]

[laserguy]

[There's so many things that Scott is questioning about himself right now. It was a step to accept that he genuinely likes another guys and finds them attractive, but now this is another uh. Hurdle?? Step??? Is it kind of weird to think like this though? Has he become some weird pervert?? Maybe.

But also. Minato is standing there and still looking pretty in a dress. And it's not even one of those skimpy maid dresses that are in regular advertisements and crap. Minato just has a good figure for this?? HE DOESN'T KNOW--

At least his friend hasn't noticed all his staring. Right? Yeah.]

Oh, uh, guess not. It's... a maid outfit. An actual one.

[Cough.] So, that's what they shoved you in, huh? I can um, probably help you get out of it.

[He's forgotten a little about how bunched up his own crotch is right now, it's fine.]

[memori3s]

[ Embrace your inner maid lover, Scott... In his defense, the dress actually does make Minato's waist look narrower, tricking the eye into thinking he's more willowy and delicate.

Wait until he finds out what's underneath that knee-length skirt. ]

Really?

[ It is true that Minato tried undressing earlier to no avail. And maybe that's a good thing, otherwise it'd sure sound like Scott was offering to help him out of his clothes for less altruistic reasons...

Minato gives Scott a small nod. ]

I'll help with yours too.

[ You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

Minato's gaze drifts down towards Scott's poor crotch. ]

Can't imagine you're comfortable in that.

[laserguy]

Yeah. And I'd appreciate that, I've been struggling to take mine off too. [He's really just assumed that Minato was struggling in the same way as him... it's a good thing he didn't make a total ass out of himself. Yet.

Still, as Minato's eyes shift back towards his very uncomfortable spandex...

Scott can't help but squirm a little, as if fully being reminded of his current predicament. The whole Minato in a Maid Outfit was a nice distraction, but he's still stuck in a spandex that's clinging directly to the exact spot his friend is staring at. Help.]

Dude it's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn. My uniform back home isn't anything like this. [With some renewed energy, he starts tugging at the yellow part once more, almost like he's trying to give himself some relief, but it just feels glued on.

[Doesn't help that he's not wearing anything underneath it either.]

[memori3s]

It looks like it, yeah.

[ Minato averts his eyes. He's done staring for now, though does catch the way Scott's costume clings to him like a second skin. Maybe the stuff maid uniform isn't so bad after all...

He turns on his heel and takes a couple steps away before gesturing for Scott to follow. ]

There were changing rooms in the back. We can do it there.

[ By "do it there," he means helping each other out of their enchanted costumes, of course! And then he's off, weaving between racks of hanging outfits as he makes his way towards those changing rooms. ]

[laserguy]

[Minato's the boss for now! ...Well, Scott is going to follow Minato anyway, seeing no reason to protest. Besides, the faster his crotch gets to breathe again, the better! And he's sure that his friend wants to be out of that maid outfit. Probably. Like. Look how fast he's maneuvering between the racks of clothes! That's a teen that wants to get this over and done with.

Scott understands. Luckily, it's not too hard to move in the spandex, allowing the mutant to keep pace with his friend until they find themselves alone in one of the changing rooms. Okay! One part of that done.

...Although, as they stand around in the room, he can't help but pull at his yellow spandex again. He normally has more discipline than this! Maybe. After this, he's never going to complain wearing the X-Man uniform again.]

So. [Scott begins, sunglasses looking straight at Minato.] I should help you out of that first, right? Although, what should we put on after this?

[He's not sure if he trusts any of these leftover costumes in here...]

[memori3s]

Oh.

[ ...right. He'd been so focused on freeing both of them from their outfits that he hadn't thought about what they should put on afterwards. Minato pauses in his tracks and scans the clothing racks. They're stuffed with all sorts of costumes, some more on the flashy side, and some more muted.

Scott might not trust any of the leftover costumes, but it doesn't look like they'll have much of a choice... ]

You're right. We should look for something else.

[ There were probably casual costumes here, right? Not every role required wacky attire. ]

[laserguy]

[Scott's already digging through the racks, pulling back outfit after outfit to find something that they can change into after this. There's a lot of questionable costumes here, but he's already spotted a few that might be okay after they take off their initial clothes: some fancy looking suit (although will it fit), a fantasy outfit that doesn't cover much, and something futuristic that has the same sort of vibe. There's probably more, but the teen is already done with looking, and he turns to Minato with a certain Determined Look.]

Yeah, there's some stuff. Okay, let's get this off then.

[He's so bossy?? Scott's definitely in that sort of Mood right now, the mutant stepping closer and raising one hand to Minato-- although he stops just before he does anything. Like he just realized something.]

So uh, you're totally cool with me undressing you? You being naked in front of me for a bit? [Double checking! He doesn't think it hurts in this sort of situation.]

[memori3s]

[ Minato eyes the three costumes that Scott's grabbed for them. He's perfectly content to hand the reins over to Scott, and it sounds like Scott's all too content to charge forward with them. Therefore, it doesn't sound like he's responsible for grabbing any other costumes himself. Sweet.

Although, the fantasy outfit Scott grabbed is a little -- well, thinking about it is a little above Minato's nonexistent pay grade... ]

...hm?

[ His gaze shifts to Scott's raised hand, as though the other teen were caught in the middle of trying to get his attention. ]

Yeah. It's fine.

[ Why else would he have agreed to Scott's arrangement? ]

...you?

[ Even without the mutual nudity, the truth is that Minato has little qualms about stripping down in front of another person if appropriate. After all, public baths are a thing! And being naked in front of a friend is a small price to pay for getting rid of the stuffy dress. ]

[laserguy]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[He nods, face squaring up like he's prepared for battle. Okay, maybe not that serious, especially since something about Scott seems just a little embarrassed...

He starts working on the bow in front of Minato's outfit.]

Just. You know. Didn't want like some sudden panic to occur because I'm undressing you. [He's talking about gay panic. He just doesn't have the right words for it. Scott went through that feeling a couple of times now, but he's just mostly accepted the fact now that he just finds dudes attractive. Not all dudes, but that could be said about the same thing with girls??

What does he think about Minato? ...The maid outfit is somehow doing him a lot of favors. Scott doesn't know why he keeps on thinking about that. Ahem.]

[memori3s]

[ Minato cants his head and blinks with a slight frown. Sudden panic...? What on earth was Scott talking about? ]

...no, I feel okay.

[ Maybe Scott's just being polite? In fact, he's being nice enough to help Minato out of his outfit first in spite of how loudly he'd griped about his own. Or, perhaps fumbling with the bow at his neck simply offers an adequate distraction.

The frown breaks into a small smile. Maybe Scott was just worried? Even if Minato's uncertain about what there was to worry about, he can recognize the other teen's conscientiousness. ]

That's nice of you to ask, though.

[ ...also is it him, or is Scott taking a weirdly long time to work at the bow? Buddy are your fingers okay --? ]

[laserguy]

[That sure is a clueless face being sent his way... before it morphs into a small smile that gets Scott's own cheeks to redden. It's just. A nice smile, okay?? Like it's reassuring him that things really are okay. How did he do that?

But. Guess he had nothing worry about.

Doesn't make it much easier to untie this stupid bow from in front of Minato's dress, like who did this?? Why is this so complicated?? Or is it something more, like the fact that he maintains a good visual of Minato dressed like this in front of him. His hands slip against the cloth a couple of times, before a grunt leaves him-- the teen finally gripping the knot and undoing it.

Just for extra measure, he tosses it over his shoulder. Yeah, he showed that thing who's boss!!]

Look, I said before I can be an asshole, but there's some shit I don't want to be an asshole about. [He reaches up to yank the headpiece off Minato-- something that is actually pretty easy, before he prompts the teen to turn around so that he can work on the... apron part?? Whatever that is from the costume.]

But now I got this covered. [Does he... he doesn't know yet......]

[memori3s]

[ The strip of silk goes fluttering over Scott's shoulder. Goodbye, ribbon... You will not be missed... ]

Mm. I remember.

[ That's courteous of Scott, Minato thinks to himself. This is precisely the type of activity that required a degree of sensitivity, though the other teen's hands are decidedly not gentle with the headpiece. Perhaps Scott expected it to be just as stubborn as the bow, leaving Minato to give a small exhale of amusement. ]

Good.

[ He obliges and turns around so Scott can start working on the apron's knot resting at the small of his back. ]

...I'm here because I know you won't be an asshole about it.

[ And that's the genuine truth. ]

[laserguy]

[Of course there's another complicated knot that's keeping the apron wrapped around Minato's trim waist. It wouldn't be something simple, of course not. Well, staring grumpily at it won't solve anything, so he reaches forward, hands lightly grabbing on the white material. But unlike his rough treatment of that headpiece, Scott actually pauses, his covered eyes looking at Minato's back.

I'm here because I know you won't be an asshole.

And. Maybe it's just an offhand comment by Minato, but Scott can't help but see the simple trust in that statement. After everything with the tunnels... he's been sort of dealing with shit: loneliness, thoughts about being a good leader, so something like this actually means something to him. Even if he's just undressing Minato from a maid dress.]

Thanks. [He responds, almost softly, before he starts untying the knot of that apron in a manner that almost seems gentle. Slower than before, but eventually even the apron becomes loose as the knot no longer securely holds it.]

[memori3s]

[ There's no way that person Minato had come to know, deep within the maintenance level's tunnels, could be a terrible person. He'd seen for himself the way Scott tried to be kind, tried to comfort him in his own ways about his personal loss.

Slowly but surely, he can feel the apron's sash begin to give. The knot at the back falls away, both ends of the apron coming loose and resting behind Minato. So he turns around and dips his head a bit, waiting for Scott to lift the apron over his head. Once that's gone, he'll thankfully just be left in the dress itself. ]

...are you doing okay?

[ There's no reason why Scott had to help Minato change fully before Minato returned the favor. ]

It's probably faster to take yours off first.

[ Unless his crotch was magically un-stuck between the time they'd bumped into each other and now... ]

[laserguy]

[With fingers sliding underneath the apron, he eases it above Minato's head until the garment is fully free. There's still that more careful pull, unlike the headdress, although Scott doesn't fully pull away from that behavior, because he also just tosses the apron over his shoulder and clearly not caring about where it hands. It's fine!!]

Huh? [Oh, his own outfit. Yeah. Scott can't help but glance down the length of his body at the question, and it's not like anything has changed, it sure is still sticking to him like a second skin. But he still shakes his head, a small smile lifting at the corner of his mouth.]

Maybe, but it's okay. We're already working on you. I promise that I can endure this for a few minutes longer. [...] Besides, it's just the dress part left, right?

[memori3s]

[ The apron flutters in the air, landing right on top of the headpiece. At least they have each other now... ]

All right.

[ If Scott insists... Maybe he's just gotten used to the way the spandex was hugging his crotch. ]

Yeah. There might be another layer underneath the dress, but I think that's it.

[ It is, in fact, not it. Maybe there's an extra surprise underneath just for Scott, but it's one that Minato's not about to comment on. One does not simply just ask a bro to help remove some lacy underwear.

...unless? ]

[laserguy]

[With each other... on the ground...]

Another layer? Like another thin blouse? Or one of those corsets?

[Although as Scott asks that question, he feels emboldened enough to keep going, the mutant focused on the zipper at the top of Minato's top half and pulling it down all the way to the skirt, so that he can help start loosening the cloth from his friend. Hm, he doesn't see another layer, at least not around his upper half, but Scott doesn't really think about it too hard, still focused on helping him out of the dress.]

So far so good... [He mumbles to himself, as he helps to slide off the blouse off his shoulders, revealing most of his back to him. And. Um. He looks kind of good like this?? He doesn't know how to explain it. Like all that cloth finally getting out of the way to reveal his skin.]

[memori3s]

[ It's a definite contrast: the dark gray fabric of the dress parting down Minato's back, zipper framing the milky white of his skin. ]

...no, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

[ Honestly, just getting out of the stuffy dress is probably good enough. He can deal with whatever lies beneath the skirt, satisfied with at least getting to relieve himself from the layers wrapping his upper half. Having his back exposed helps let off some of that unnecessary warmth, so he sighs, lungs expanding as that very same back facing Scott rises and falls with each breath. ]

Thanks, it's a lot cooler like this...

[ In fact, if Scott were to lay a hand on him, he'd be able to feel how warm Minato's usually-chilled skin felt. ]

[laserguy]

[Scott doesn't question Minato's comment, mostly because he's still distracted by the way his friend's back flexes and shifts, fully visible without that cloth hiding everything from view. What was his thought earlier? That Minato looks good? Yeah. That comes back to his mind once more, unable to stop himself from placing a hand against the small of his back to feel his skin.]

Better?

[He mumbles softly, not quite stroking his skin, but still keeping the warm pads of his fingertips pressed against him. Almost like he's memorizing this simple contact. Scott's honestly physically affectionate with the people that he likes, not that he would wholly admit it. But Minato's become someone he's grown closer to, especially after the stuff with the tunnels. Nothing like trauma to bring people together--]

[memori3s]

[ Warm fingertips settle against Minato's skin. He glances over a shoulder to look over at Scott with muted curiosity. ]

Yeah. A lot better.

[ It's hard to see the other teen's expression behind his shades, to see where exactly he was looking. Minato cants his head a bit at Scott, assessing his current company's demeanor. Scott seems... lost in thought? As though he were concentrating on the sensation of fingertips against his back? ]

...you can touch more, if you want.

[ Followed by a reassuring smile. ]

I don't mind.

[laserguy]

['I don't mind.'

His eyes flicker from behind his shades, those more nuanced expressions hidden from the world, but he sill reacts in more obvious ways. There's a deep swallow as his Adam's apple bobs, before he continues to trail his fingers down Minato's back until they reach the hem of the skirt that's still clinging to a trim waist. He spreads his fingers, feeling along the curve of the material and mainly tracing the skin in it, before he settles on the other teen's hips.]

Do you like this?

[He's asking about touching Minato, right? Not him being in a dress... but he also doesn't clarify.]

[memori3s]

[ Scott's fingers trail featherlight against skin until they come to perch upon his hips. The physical contact isn't bad, and he doesn't quite mind settling and shaping himself according to the other teen's palm. If he's curious, Minato doesn't mind allowing to explore, to sate that inquisitive drive.

...considering where Scott's hands have settled, and how he was tracing over his back, Minato interprets the question more intimately: ]

It's fine.

[ He rarely "likes" anything at all. ]

It's not bad.

[ ...but if Scott intends on freeing even more skin from the dress, then perhaps there's something he should know. ]

...by the way, don't worry about what's underneath.

[laserguy]

Not really full enthusiasm there man.

[Some light sarcasm enters his voice, his fingers stalling on Minato's hips and not quite continuing their initial intention. At least he hasn't said he disliked any of this so far? So, this is okay, right? He runs circular motions along his skin, almost massaging, different thoughts poking at his mind on what to do next, when he hears Minato.

And.

Uh. What does that supposed to mean? An arched eyebrow is sent at Minato's back and in a way, he wants to just meet whatever is underneath Minato's dress head on. He'll let himself worry-- deal with whatever is there.]

I'll handle it. Besides, I told you that I was going to remove this outfit for you. [And so he grips the zipper at the top of that long skirt, his fingers determined and firm as he starts pulling it down...]

[memori3s]

[ Circular motions massaged into his skin is different from fingertips trailing down his back. This, in particular, actually does feel nice, expressed by the slow exhale Scott can likely feel against his thumbs. ]

That's fine too, then. Do what you want.

[ Suit yourself, Minato thinks to himself as Scott tugs at the zipper. It slides down, fabric parting to reveal the beginnings of white lace, slightly sheer to make a hint of pale skin underneath visible. A floral pattern is stitched into it, all the way up to the undergarment's waistband.

This, perhaps, was the purpose behind Minato's earlier warning. Blessedly, his back is turned to avoid unintentionally subjecting Scott to the sight of him wrapped in sheer lace. ]
