[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]

[ Getting jostled by the shoulder does wake Minato up a little more, though it doesn't do anything to chase away the sensation of cotton stuffed in his head. He flinches a bit as a hand presses itself against his forehead, not quite understanding what Bakugo is up to.

But feeling unwell does mean he's too tired to put up any resistance. Minato allows himself to get toted off by the hand, immediately settling down on the bench. There's a sigh of relief as he sits down, grateful to be off his feet. ]

You're not done for the day, are you...?

[ Didn't Bakugo need to return to filming in a bit? The script can't keep going without its almighty Dragon Lord. So long as Minato can get a bit of rest, he'd probably feel better in a little while.

It seems he hasn't been at the resort for long enough to identify when something's afoot. He hadn't eaten anything strange and hadn't had anything weird to drink either, so Minato's certainly stumped. ]

[blastedass]

[Shit, shaking him woke him up a bit, but he still looks like he's coming off a bad drug. Bakugo plops Minato on the bed and heads to the nearby table for some water. He grabs a bottle from one of the coolers, icy water dripping off his hand as it come free from the sloshing freezing cubes, then returns while twisting the lid off with a snap. Didn't feel any fever running through his head, so slapping the bottle against Minato's forehead won't do a damn thing. Best shove it into his mouth.

Which is more or less what he does. POMPH!!]

Shut up and drink. [Luckily for the other boy, Bakugo's between takes, so he's got a solid half an hour before they're ready for him again. Scenery change, technical set up, all that shit. Whatever this guy did, it's gotten him heavily affected. Is it contagious? Too late now.]

What were you doing before this?

[memori3s]

[ If he wasn't fully awake before, he's definitely more alert after getting an ice cold water bottle shoved into his face. Minato does as he's told though, taking the bottle into his hands to start sipping at it. Only after the frigid water filled his mouth does he realize how dry his mouth felt, and the water he's gulping down feels absolutely incredible.

Ah, he's being asked another question though. Minato caps the bottle as he shifts on the bench to look up at Bakugo. What was he doing before? ]

I... went for a walk.

[ Deeper into the forest where it was quieter. ]

The forest, where there were less people...

[ He hadn't eaten anything out there, knowing better than to snack on some mysterious berries. He's well aware of what the food here can do. And there hadn't been anything to drink, so that's easily ruled out.

Minato's eyes drift shut as a shudder passes through his body. It's cold... Maybe that's just the ice water though. ]

[blastedass]

[Bakugo eases off the glaring hover once Minato has the bottle in his mouth and water down his throat. What the hell happened to the guy and put him in such a state? He stands to the side, letting a foot or so exist between them, eyes wandering over his appearance. From flushed face to sweaty skin to paler coloring and slight tension. Not a fever, so probably some stupid "affect" from the hotel to mess with his libido.]

Tch. Something in the woods probably doused you. [For all he knows, Minato might've tried eating something, but given the guy's cautious shy nature in the library, he doesn't think he's the kind to shove strange forest foods in his mouth. Not when he can easily come back to the main set and get something real to eat. Hell if they knew whether the forest's offerings are even edible.]

You're gonna have to weather it out with someone or deal with it alone.

[memori3s]

[ "Something in the woods probably doused you," says Bakugo, and that has recognition surfacing in Minato's eyes. Now that he's thinking about it, there were those red flowers with velvety soft, inviting petals... ]

Oh. I saw some red flowers. They were... nice. Pretty, too.

[ He takes another sip of water before capping it and setting it off to the side. The cold water helps him feel more alert, but it comes with the side effect of making an even deeper chill settle within his bones.

As for weathering it out with someone or dealing with it alone -- no, he couldn't possibly pull someone else away from their current duties to help him through. Besides, that flower probably doused him with some normal aphrodisiacs as opposed to something life-threatening, right?

Minato shakes his head. ]

It's okay, maybe -- some rest might help... Thanks for the water, though.

[ By now, he probably seems more ill as opposed to aroused... ]

[blastedass]

[Shit, so it was something in the woods! Bakugo had low-key hoped for the opposite. Guess he's not going into the woodland set for the rest of this stupid filming event. He makes sure Minato's still drinking water, trying to dilute whatever's currently coursing through his bloodstream.]

Tch. Flowers are always a gamble in this place. [Similar to food. Lure people in with attractive blooms and aromas, then hit them with something influencing when they're close. Don't even have to be real or offered; fucking mistletoe last Christmas could affect you just by walking close to it.]

You look like you're gonna pass out or puke. [Bakugo pushes himself up and heads towards Minato again.] Get up. I'll take you to my trailer. You can rest there. [Or hurl in the toilet, whichever the guy needs. It'll give him some privacy as well.]

[memori3s]

[ Minato does feel a little like he's going to pass out or puke. He manages to push himself up by the elbows, wincing as he slowly forces himself to sit up. The trailer would probably be more comfortable compared to this break room. Once he makes it there, he'll have some peace and quiet and privacy. For starters, it'll ensure that he's not disturbed by anyone else.

Like another set assistant, for instance, such as the one who happens to be passing by on his way to grab some water. The man glances over at the pair, arching a brow as he studies Minato's condition, before a sleazy grin spreads across his face.

"He probably walked into a face full of snuggleblossom out there. That stuff's fatal if it's not taken care of fast, and well -- you know what that means in a place like this."

He holds a hand out and gestures at Bakugo.

"You're the Dragon Lord, yeah? Back onto the set in a few minutes? Don't worry about the kid, I'll take him off your hands and make sure he gets all of that pollen outta his system."

And though Minato doesn't speak, focus flashes briefly in his eyes, just enough to realize he understood this man's words. Ah... So that's what had happened... ]

[blastedass]

[Bakugo turns a glare onto the stagehand for daring to talk to him right now. He was obviously busy with someone else! Who the hell goes around interrupting other people's conversations with that shitty grin slapped all over his face?! Minus one stunner of a revelation. Glare of annoyance turns into one of ire, brows arching and eyes widening.]

The hell do you mean "fatal", dammit?! [Goddammit! Another one of the hotel's "amazing" ideas to force sex by threatening someone else's fucking life!] If you knew that, burn the entire forest down!! Who put those fucking things on set anyways?!

[The director should've been made aware of that danger as well, before someone else gets puffed in the face by one! He would've brushed it off as nothing but "set lore" for the script, but this isn't scripted or on set. It's an actual problem.

Bakugo swings his arm to the side with a growl, gesturing towards the set he came from.] Touch him and I'll kill you. Go tell the fucking director about the flowers and get rid of them! Before someone else gets drugged!

[Then back to Minato.] Get up. We're going.

[memori3s]

[ The glower shuts the stagehand up, and the man even takes a small step back from the sheer intensity of Bakugo's expression. He recovers quickly though, clicking his tongues at what he presumes is some goody-two-shoes in spite of the guest's temper.

"And here I thought I was being generous, offering to take him off your hands."

The man shakes his head and waves dismissively at the pair.

"Fine, fine. I get it. He's all yours."

And then the stagehand's gone, heading back towards the set. Whether or not he informed the director of the snuggleblossoms may yet remain a mystery.

Minato, on the other hand, does manage to haul himself up to his feet. He reaches out to steady himself with Bakugo's arm, vision hazy as he leans against the other to help keep his balance. ]

...how far?

[ Hopefully it's not too big a distance to the trailer... ]

[blastedass]

Haa?! You think I can't handle this, you bastard?! [Don't tell the Dragon Lord what to do, dammit! If he's already assisting someone, there's no "taking it off his hands" like he's some kind of weakling who needs this random extra's help! (Leave it to Bakugo to take an offer of aid as a sleight against his pride and strength.) He cups one hand by his side, sending off a flurry of small explosions to get the bastard running away even faster.]

Make yourself useful and tell the director about the flowers! [Shouting that reminder at him because he really doubts the guy's going to do so, whether by his own failings or the hotel's machinations. Doesn't matter; he'll report it to the director and others when he returns to the set. For now, he has to deal with Minato.]

It's right over there. [Bakugo growls and hooks an arm around Minato's waist before leading him towards another trailer, a bit bigger than the others around. After all, he's the star of the film. Doesn't take much to pop the door open and get Minato inside. Bakugo lets him go then and nods towards the bed taking up a third of the space.] I'll get you some meds.

[Even though he knows meds aren't gonna help...]

[memori3s]

[ Said stagehand does in fact skitter off a little quicker as Bakugo sends off a flurry of small explosions. Don't want to get caught in all of that, considering how it doesn't look like there's a fire extinguisher in the nearby vicinity...

The sound of sparks is distant in Minato's ears though, already phasing in and out of focus. The extra support from Bakugo's arm around his waist is greatly appreciated, considering how he's practically dragging his feet towards the trailer. The bed is a welcome respite; Minato immediately settles down on it, taking a seat on the edge of the mattress. ]

...I heard what that man said.

[ So this place wasn't against introducing peril in order to force guests into being intimate, is that right?

At least he could comfortably fade away if it came down to it, curled up in a comfy bed. ]

[blastedass]

[There won't be any need for a fire extinguisher! When he's done, they'll need a mop and a bucket! At least he got rid of that shitty extra. Bakugo can focus on the more important person in this scenario. Safely inside the trailer, he yanks the door shut and locks it while Minato gets himself comfortable on the bed. A quick tug pops the refrigerator open and he crouches in front of its cool breath to scan its glowing interior.]

Aa. This place can be an asshole when it wants to push. [Bakugo closes the fridge with his foot and takes the three steps needed to the bed, then offers Minato some water again, along with two pills. They're gonna do little more than offset a headache and potential chills, but both of them know what's coming.]

I haven't heard of anyone actually dying from shitty threats like this, but I've never waited to find out.

[memori3s]

[ Some might hesitate to accept loose pills from another guest within the resort. But Bakugo's already proven himself to be someone trustworthy, so Minato slips both into his mouth before swallowing them down alongside the water. The medicine won't cure him, but if it can reduce his headache, it'll at least make what's coming next a little easier to weather.

It's a little more difficult to get aroused while trying to stave off a persistent throbbing in the skull after all. ]

...yeah. I guess it's not worth the risk.

[ Better to just have the sex than potentially dying in a place like this, not that Minato's aware of any consequences associated with that sort of outcome.

He sets the water aside on the night stand before settling back on the edge of the mattress again. ]

...sorry for getting you involved in this.

[blastedass]

[At this point, it might be little more than a panacea, but anything that'll give Minato some peace of mind will help. Not like Bakugo wants to pin him down on the bed and "take care of this" in the way the peacock loves shoving on people. He's already half-resigned to the reality anyways. A quick hook of his ankle on a chair leg draws the item out of the vanity and over so he can take a seat on it, elbows resting on his knees and hands dangling in the space between them.]

It's up to you. [Bakugo is never going to force the choice on anyone. If someone opts to say 'fuck it' and "die" while giving the peacock a middle finger, respect to them. If Minato wants to know more about the consequences of death, Bakugo is able to give him a detailed response, should he ask. But until then...] Haa? Don't apologize for that shit! It's the resort's fault.
