TDM 009



【 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.
COPYABLE CODE
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 HITSIn 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!

no worries he's accustomed to that 🙂‍↕️

[personal profile] memori3s 2025-05-22 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Minato glances over at the director who's promptly returned his hand to his side. Nothing to see here! Definitely not running through all the different ways to jump Fuuta when he's not looking as revenge for nearly airing his hyper-specific fetish.

Under normal circumstances, Minato still wouldn't have very many qualms about blindly stepping into a potential kink saw trap. It's simply collateral to existing in a place like this, and it's not that unusual for him in his eyes to get pulled into harrowing things without much say. On the other hand... lately, others have emphasized to him that he should be more careful. Consider whether he truly wanted to go along with something, or if it was simply a matter of not seeing any reasons against capitulating.

Also, this poor stranger's growing more exasperated by the second? Maybe Minato should save him from that.

He turns to the director and dips his head in an apology. ]


I'm sorry, sir. I've changed my mind. Thank you for the opportunity though.

[ The director sputters at Minato's sudden change of heart, all before glowering at the one who'd ruined his plans.

"Then I guess you'll have to swallow the cost of backing out."

The director jabs an index finger at Fuuta.

"And you can take responsibility for him too!"

Minato's watch buzzes on his wrist, its display flashing red as his chips plunge into the negatives. He lifts it to eye level with a frown and a tiny sigh. Two people's chip penalties hitting his account? Well. Whatever. He'll make it up somehow. ]

[personal profile] pyrolyzed 2025-05-25 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ What an emotional rollercoaster he's going on here. Because for a hot second Fuuta stands up a little straighter, the corners of his mouth quirking up in a smug grin when he hears the guy turn the director down. That's right! See! He did a good thing in keeping this guy from getting embroiled in some nasty jerkoff fodder passion project! He did the right thing by stepping in!

-- and then the director points right at him, and Fuuta jerks back. Followed by an indignant bark the moment he realizes where this is going. ]


Wh -- what the fuck?! You can't do that!

[ Except the director apparently very much can? The buzz of a Watch has Fuuta whipping around to stare at Minato, realizing what just happened, and he stomps closer to the director, jagged teeth bared as he growls, ]

You fucking hack scam artist! What kinda director are you, just dragging people into your bullshit and then fucking with them like that! I oughta --

[ 'Oughta' ... what? Because for as loud as Fuuta's bark is, his bite is nonexistent; he flinches back the moment the director glares at him and raises a fist in clear threat, flanked by equally irate staff members, and by the time Fuuta's worked his nerve back up, the director and his posse are already walking off in search of the next gullible victim to rope into the their project.

For a moment, Fuuta just looks awkwardly from the director's retreating figure, to Minato, then back. Then finally, as his gaze furtively drops to some point on the floor, he mutters, ]


... that wasn't my fault.

[personal profile] memori3s 2025-05-26 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "That wasn't my fault," says the stranger, to which Minato merely responds with a small shake of the head. ]

It's okay. I probably should have known better.

[ It seems he has no issues with heaping responsibility onto his own plate. Technically, it's true; he shouldn't have allowed himself to get dragged into something dangerous. It's his fault for going along without a single question. It's not Fuuta's fault for speaking up on his behalf, even if he'd never asked the other guest to do so.

And so, it's quite easy to brush everything off. Minato's hand falls back to his side, its flashing display finally fading away. ]


I'll figure something out.

[ He always does. He's grown quite accustomed to it, to searching for ways out of seemingly impossible odds.

He's grown quite accustomed to embracing whatever others chose to heap on him. And all things considered, this isn't such a terrible outcome considering how there are plenty of ways to regain chips.

Minato nods in the direction of all the other sets. All hope isn't lost! He can make up the deficit in no time. ]

[personal profile] pyrolyzed 2025-05-27 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh ... somehow that feels way worse. Like, it'd be frustrating enough if this guy did get mad at him for something that objectively wasn't his fault, but it feels even more wretched that Minato acquiesces so easily. -- which still doesn't mean he thinks this was his fault! He didn't mean for this shit to happen! This all happened just because that director was a nutjob perv!

Still. A frisson of something heavy and uncomfortable slithers down his spine to settle in his gut as he watches Minato blandly lower his hand down to his side, hiding the Watch's face from view once more. Fuuta ends up squirming visible, gaze averted and jagged teeth worrying at his lip, one hand twisting into the baggy fabric of his other sleeve.

What finally tips into action, though, is seeing Minato ponder the other sets. -- he gets that people need to fuck to survive here. That would've happened eventually, regardless. But thinking that he played any part in a guy needing to fuck even more for money, possibly dealing with shit he doesn't even want, wouldn't sit right with him. ]


-- hey! [ It's blurted out gracelessly, followed by a moment of awkward stewing, before Fuuta continues at a grumble. ] Gimme your username. I'll ... send you some stuff. I have a bunch of, like, vouchers and coupons stocked up. -- it's not easy living here when you're broke, you know. I don't mind helping a bit.

[ Even if. It's not his fault ... ]

And if you need any help figuring out what else to do ...

[personal profile] memori3s 2025-05-27 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The single syllable blurted out makes Minato start a bit, blinking a few times as he looks back over at Fuuta. This guy wanted his username? To send things to him? ]

It's fine.

[ Because it is. Getting himself into this mess means he'll just scrabble his way out of it too.

On the other hand, the way this guy was squirming about and wringing his sleeve with his other hand -- maybe he should agree for this guest's sake. Minato's shoulders sag while accompanied by a small exhale. ]


Tatsuya. My username is tatsuya.

[ That's awfully kind of this guy to be parting with all of that. Even if he says he had plenty stocked up, it must have taken a lot of time to acquire them. Perhaps he'd been saving them for a rainy day, and if that's the case, Fuuta was parting with something quite valuable.

Minato dips his head in polite deference. ]


Thanks, and... sorry, for causing you trouble.

[ Anyone with a pair of eyes can see how Fuuta's been agonizing and tormented from practically the beginning of this interaction. ]
pyrolyzed: ( pixiv user みぃし | 4042733 ) (004)

[personal profile] pyrolyzed 2025-05-29 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
... Tatsuya. Alright.

[ There was definitely a second there where he narrowed his eye, lips parted with a slight curl before he refrained from saying whatever it was he was about to say. -- even he knows that there's a time and a place for things, and he's not about to chew out the guy for his shitty taste in usernames (that's probably his real name, right? Tatsuya?) when he was responsi -- was involved in getting the guy into debt.

So Fuuta swallows back the shitty comment that had been prepared on the tip of his tongue, and instead huffs a low exhale as he looks down at his Watch. He obviously spends way too much time on his Watch judging by how quickly he taps and swipes through menus. And seconds later, Minato's Watch pings with a few incoming messages.

User pz25948011717 has sent you a gift!, each one reads, before declaring its contents. All in all, it's a dozen 10-chip coupons for Birdbucks, enough vouchers for a few decent meals at the Early Bird Hall, and a coupon for a free entree at the Red Cardinal. Not enough to make up for the double-penalty! But a decent chunk of change. ]


Okay, there. You won't starve, at least.

[ Fuuta sighs as he closes a menu and lowers his Watch, looking at Minato warily to gauge his reaction. ]

... you thinking of taking on another script?

[ Minato lifts his arm to flip the watch's display towards him. Several unopened envelope icons pop up on the screen. He taps one of them and blinks as he scans its message. This one is the 10-chip coupon for Birdbucks, and considering how many messages had just come in -- huh. That's generous of this stranger who, for the time being, will be known as "pz25948011717" to Minato. ]

...thanks.

[ He probably wouldn't starve either way. If push came to shove, he'd probably turn to a friend within the Golden Peacock who'd adamantly insisted that Minato reach out to him if he ever needed any help. Minato's stubborn though; if he can handle something on his own without troubling others, he will.

Fuuta gets a nod in response to his question. ]


Yeah. I think there was a list at the check-in table.

[ The titles of each indie film should give some decent insight into what he was about to get involved in. Better than walking blindly onto some random set. Lesson learned.

Without another word, Minato dips his head again to bid Fuuta farewell before wandering off towards the entrance of all the smaller sets. All things considered, at least he'd ended up broke in a place where there were plenty of opportunities to regain a few chips. ]

... sure. Okay.

[ And then Minato gets to walk away from this interaction, with only the copious coupons to remember this very strange interaction with Mr. pz25948011717 ...

Just kidding. Minato gets to walk away approximately five feet before there's the squeak of sneaker soles behind him as Fuuta stumbles to catch up, shoving past a nonplussed stranger to walk at Minato's side again. He is doing an extremely bad job of feigning casual. ]


-- I mean. I was gonna go look at'em too?

[ Not a lie! He really had grudgingly resigned himself to having to participate in a few of these dumb productions to avoid drawing the resort's ire. But also -- now he feels obliged to cut Minato off before he might get entangled in another especially lurid production. Not like he cares! This guy's not his responsibility or anything! But, like ... it's just the right thing to do! The guy seems like such a pushover that he's just being a good person by keeping an eye out for him, yeah!

Anyway, Fuuta's definitely hovering a little as they approach the check-in table and start looking through the scripts on offer. Once again: extremely bad job of being sneaky, the way he keeps shooting sideways glances at whatever Minato's looking at. ]

[ A perfectly reasonable explanation as to why Fuuta's heading in the direction of the set lists too. If that's what Fuuta intends to do, Minato won't stop him at all. He's free to do as he likes.

So Minato pays Fuuta no mind as he glances over the available scripts arranged on the table. The woman behind it sits with her hands folded, offering the pair a wide customer service-style smile.

"Just so you're aware, everything here's marked with an asterisk because they're scripts intended for two actors." She raises a hand to lift two fingers. "We'd like for people to sign up in pairs. It's a lot of trouble, you see, matching up individual actors. Just more efficient if we get sign-ups two at a time."

It's not too out-there of a justification. Minato understands, even if the corners of his mouth dip into a slight frown. ]


I guess that makes sense...

[ The woman arches a brow upon hearing the mild dejection in Minato's voice.

"Oh. Are you not a pair?"

Minato glances at Fuuta out of the corner of his eye. ]


...is there nothing for solo sign-ups?

[ The staff member offers a sympathetic smile. "No, unfortunately those were the first to go."

Ah... Of course... ]
