[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

[abit_ofboth]

”I see. Yes I imagine that did not help. And must have been very boring. Not an ideal way to spend your younger years at all.” It isn’t something Loki experienced himself, but he can sympathize. In his own way he was trapped, that has always seemed the role of royalty in his mind, but he had always been free to explore and learn. He can’t imagine how he might have rebelled if he had found himself in her situation. “I think you will find there are people here with all sorts of experience, or lack there of. There are far too many “guests” here for that not to be true.”

Loki gives her a bit of a thoughtful look. “Well, I dare say you have already started. You are speaking with me, after all. It might not be enough to collect my card, but it is a start at least.” He grins at her, teasing a bit again. It’s like he can’t help it. He’s already acknowledged, at least to himself, that he seems to have a thing for pirates from Shanks’ world, so why not her as well? But no matter what happens between them, he is enjoying this conversation and will happily help her however she wishes.

”It is not something you have to decide now, of course, but take it from someone who did not try to mend fences and now regrets it. It might at least be worth a try, even if it does not work out in the end.”

The wink makes Loki grin widely, happy to see her participate in this little flirt session. Maybe Shanks wouldn’t mind if he helped her gain a little experience? Is that something he should ask? Feels a bit awkward and honestly, Loki has never been in a situation like this before. He doesn’t (or at least thinks he doesn’t) let any of this internal conflict show on his face. “Oh darling, you couldn’t be more right. I am convinced you could complete the game in no time at all.”

[usseewa]

“I missed my family terribly.” Even though she was quite angry at them. She just wanted to be with them, not rot away in an island with no one else but Gordon to keep her company. Nothing against Gordon! She was extremely grateful for his training and advice but he wasn’t her father. He wasn’t her friends.

“That’s good to know.” It’s clear she’s relieved that there were people here with varied experiences. Her not having any might deter people from trying to complete the game, but hopefully it was more of an advantage for her.

She listens to him though, regarding her situation. As someone who has regrets, she can empathize with him. He has regrets for not mending his relationships, and perhaps she would end up the same way. But right now? She’s hesitant to truly make those steps to forgive Shanks for what he did. She nods, looking solemn but after a moment she smiles gently and nods.

“I’ll consider it.” She finally says, truly meaning it too.

She laughs, light and clear as she shakes her head. “Oh I don’t know, I need get some experience first. Talk to more people.” She smiles more. “What do we win if we complete the game? Does anyone know?” She pauses, considering something before she leans over closer to him. “Wouldn’t hurt to get started, right?”

She doesn’t know his affiliation with her father, or any of the other pirates at the hotel. She doesn’t think there’s any harm in attempting to proposition him, even if it doesn’t go anywhere. Especially if it doesn’t go anywhere he can at least give her some advice, right?

[abit_ofboth]

That is something that Loki can fully identify with. When he’d found out about his adoption, he’d been so angry, angrier than he’d ever imagined he could be. And that was really saying something considering he had always been at least a little angry even if he hadn’t always known why. It didn’t stop him from missing them, especially after he’d found out more about himself and why things were the way they were from the TVA.

“Family, can’t live with them, miss them terribly when they’re gone.” It’s a weak joke, but Loki offers her a smile anyway.

He doesn’t expect that she will necessarily take his advice and he will not try to convince her. Loki knows better than most that it’s not the best way to help someone. No one ever wants to feel forced into such things, but he does hope she takes it to heart and at least considers his words as she says.

”Yes, I suppose experience is a must, in that you will gain it if you plan on winning. If you ever require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.” He means that more in the sense of just help and not necessarily the game, but he does not clarify either. Loki doesn’t like to close doors unnecessarily. “Apparently if you complete the game, you get one wish which can include being sent home, but can be anything. It is rumoured that one of the employees here completed the game and used her wish to save someone else instead of returning, so it seems it can be most anything.”

For some reason, when she propositions him, it takes him by surprise, and it shows on his face as his head whips around to look at her straight on. A smile slowly pulls at his lips as he lets his eyes roam over her form.

”No, it would not hurt at all. If that is truly what you wish.”

What can he say? She’s attractive and he’s enjoyed speaking with her. That’s enough of a turn on for him. And besides, he doesn’t know for sure that this is the long lost daughter of Shanks, does he? No, of course not. It’ll be fine.

[usseewa]

Loki was right. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them. She was desperate for her family though, longing to just be with them again, to just be accepted back with open arms. Sure, they did in the end, but at what cost? She lost so much…

“A wish, huh.” She perks up a bit hearing that. If she could wish for anything, what would it be? This gives her something to think about while she tries to complete the game.

When he looks at her again, his eyes actually roaming her body, she chews on her lip. Okay, she wasn’t sure what she was expecting, but his interest was definitely not it. He doesn’t seem to mind her attempts to proposition him, doesn’t seem to mind that her experience is next to none. Maybe this was a good thing, she thinks, that he wasn’t shying away from it. Or laughing her off like she kind of thought he would.

“I mean, I have to start some where.” She says quietly, shyly. It’s not like she really knew anyone here, so why not with a kind stranger she can empathize with? They had similar stories in their own way, not that she knows the full of it but— it was nice to know she wasn’t alone with those complicated feelings surrounding family and her father.

“I just— don’t think I want to do it here?”

[abit_ofboth]

The longer he’s here, the more Loki seems to find people who have similar issues with their family. It’s not lost on Loki that many of them handled these things better than he did, but with Uta, it feels more like they’re on the same page and it kind of makes him want to take care of her. It’s an odd feeling he hasn’t experienced much in his life, but he recognizes it nonetheless.

”Yes, it seems to be the most straightforward way out, though I’m sure it has its consequences, especially if you are inexperienced.” It’s his polite way of letting her know that it sounds easier than it is. He’s pretty far from inexperienced and he’s still here after more than a year trying to work his way out. Although, he hasn’t been engaging as much as he could.

He hopes he hasn’t made her feel too uncomfortable by properly checking her out, but he couldn’t seem to stop himself once she indicates that she might be interested. If it’s a tease or she changes her mind, he’ll be okay with that, but he has to admit he likes what he sees. He can’t imagine anyone laughing her off though, not here, not anywhere.

”I suppose that is true.” He smiles again, but this time it’s much softer. He feels almost proud that after such a short exchange that she might trust him. He’s never really been known as trustworthy, at least not until much more recently in his life, so it still comes as a surprise to him even. He’s sincere, of course. He wants people to start trusting him. Loki has changed a lot thanks to Mobius and the TVA, but that is not a version most people have known, at least not until he came here. He supposes part of him is just worried that somehow people can see that this is new to him or that he’s simply putting it on. Likely this is due still believing just a bit that he’s meant to fail so others can succeed, but he is slowly getting better.

Not that Uta needs to know any of that. At least not right now.

”That is perfectly acceptable. Have they provided you with your own suite yet? Or would you prefer to come to mine?” He’ll honestly go wherever she feels most comfortable, but usually a private suite is the best option, in his opinion.

[usseewa]

“Of course there might be a catch.” Her inexperience is a detriment, but she knows it can be remedied once she really starts to make those connections.

What would she wish for? She keeps coming back to this thought the more they talk about the rumored wish. She doesn’t even know, and there must be a catch if she completes the game and a wish is indeed the prize. Could she wish for everyone to have the ability to return home should they want it? Would she wish that her actions on Elegia didn’t have the consequences? That it never happened?

She smiles, deciding to consider those questions another day as she looks at him.

“I haven’t been provided a suite yet. At least as far as I’m aware.” She will find her way to a suite soon, she’s sure, but for now his offer to let them use his was gracious enough. She moves to stand, smoothing out the white dress and grabs the gift bag she set aside earlier. “We can go to yours.”

She had no idea what to expect.

[abit_ofboth]

”A catch?” He can’t help but inquire, his eyebrow arching as he asks. Of course, there are always catches to everything, or at least that’s what Loki thinks. Nothing is ever truly as it seems from the beginning. There’s always someone’s finger on the scale, Loki just prefers it when it’s him, though that hasn’t been true in a long time and possibly not ever, considering his place on the Sacred Timeline.

That’s all changed now though, hasn’t it? He hopes it’s still true, that Mobius had been right when he told him he could be anything he wanted, even good, but then it doesn’t quite explain how he ended up here either.

”It usually does not take long to get the new arrivals checked in, but you are free to stay as long as you would like in mine until that does happen. It isn’t much, I am only on the 5th floor, but there are certainly worse rooms.” He stands as well and holds out a hand to her, meaning to lead her off towards the elevators up to the suites.

[usseewa]

“Maybe not a catch, just a disadvantage? My lack of experience that is.” She frowns slightly, but it doesn’t last long.

She takes his hand gingerly, following him as he leads her on. A thousand things are running through her mind, many of which are if she is making the right choice to sleep with a stranger. A kind stranger but a stranger none-the-less. If what Shanks was saying is true, she would face consequences if she didn’t perform, so she may as well.

If she separates the act from love, it becomes easier, right? She’s not in love with this man, she has no romantic feelings toward him, but she must trust him enough to lay bare with him.

She smiles up at him. “I hope you don’t mind me being a little nervous about all this.”

Meaning she hopes it doesn’t affect his decision to do this.

[abit_ofboth]

"I suppose it could be. I have to think it depends on how adventurous you can be. It might be an advantage in that you have so much to try?" He's trying to be encouraging, but he's not particularly good at such things. He thinks it's true enough though. If she's interested in anything this place has to offer, she's about to experience quite a lot.

It's a bit of a surprise when she takes his hand, but a pleasant one. He's held hands with people a shockingly little number of times and he finds himself smiling genuinely and gently squeezing her hand in return. It reminds him that whatever they end up doing, he should be careful. He wants her first time to be a good one. And if he can, he'll help her start to discover things she actually enjoys.

"I don't mind. In fact, I would find it odd if you were not nervous. I do, however, need you to tell me if you change your mind. Which is something you can do at any point. Otherwise, I hope to show you a good time."

[usseewa]

“Maybe! I mean I’m curious but I don’t know where to begin. I’ve been... pretty much alone for the last eleven years.” She admits as she brushes the white part of her bangs out of her eye. “My only company was my mentor and no. Just no.”

She smiles a bit more as he squeezes her hand, her nerves starting to quell as she walks with him. It’s nice. She’s been overwhelmed with everyone and everything that his kindness was a huge step at making her feel comfortable.

“If I change my mind, I will let you know.” Which honestly, giving her an out was a relief. “I don’t think I will but I know that it’ll be different once we start.” She had no idea what to expect, but maybe it won’t be so daunting after this.

[abit_ofboth]

He chuckles softly at that. “Oh I can’t imagine that he would be a good option. Too much of a father figure at least.” He shivers slightly, really not liking that idea himself. Some people are just off limits. Of course, if she really is Shanks’ daughter, perhaps he should consider her off limits as well, but that thought is far from his mind at the moment.

There’s something Loki really enjoys about introducing people to sex. Even if they are not wholly new to it, helping people discover what they like and new things they want to try is something he gets a lot out of, and not just his own pleasure. Being with her, he thinks, might be something they both learn something from.

“Excellent,” he starts as they reach the door to his room. He could swear he’s already feeling her relax a bit, which is definitely a good thing. Opening the door, he holds it open for her to enter first and once inside, he closes it behind them. There isn’t much to his small 5th floor suite, but it’s cozy and tidy and he hopes she finds it welcoming.

“I think we should start off slowly then. Please, take your time to get comfortable and when you are ready, if you do not mind, I would very much like to kiss you.”

[usseewa]

It says a lot about Loki that he’s taking his time, and letting her call the shots in some way. If she doesn’t want to do this in the end, they don’t have to, which has helped with her nervous energy. It’s still there, but less pronounced as it was when she first proposed the idea. She smiles, however, as she walks through the door into his space.

The room is actually quite cozy, which she wasn’t sure what she was expecting. It eased her mind, helped her slowly figure out how she wants to approach this. How would he?

She can’t stop the blush that crosses her features as he mentions he’d like to kiss her. She fusses with the ends of her hair, having pulled the long pony tail over her shoulder as a nervous habit. She nods, at first, ready and willing but worried all the same.

As she said, her only company for the last eleven years was her mentor. She’s not zero practical knowledge of what she’s doing. What little she does know is from talk from her crew when she was younger and the romance books she found on the island that were left over from the destruction.

“Yeah.” She finally speaks up, the smile still on her lips. “I’d like that too.”

[abit_ofboth]

When Loki was young, he often didn’t care much about what others wanted. He felt like he always had to look out for himself and therefore cared only about himself. This, however, never really translated to the bedroom. He is okay if others want to use him in some way, he can handle it, but he never has the desire to do anything someone else doesn’t want. It’s a line even he won’t cross.

And now that he’s, for lack of a better term, redeemed, it seems even less like something he would like. He gets much more satisfaction out of everyone involved enjoying themselves. After all, sex is supposed to be fun, even if there is a hint of force just because of the nature of the place in which they find themselves.

The nervousness is actually kind of adorable, but in a way also helpful. It means Loki has some gauge as to when and how far to push things. When she confirms she’s okay with a kiss, Loki steps forward, right into her personal space and reaches up to place a hand on her cheek, gently tilting her head before leaning in and pressing a firm kiss to her lips. He doesn’t try to deepen it, at least not yet, but does moves his lips, starting slowly to see how she reacts.

[usseewa]

She can’t stop how warm her cheeks feel as he steps into her space, the blush spreading as his hand touches her face. As he starts to lean in, she closes her eyes tight, waiting for their lips to meet and when they do? She gasps lightly. This isn’t anything she was expecting. Firm but yielding, gentle, but purposed.

It takes her a moment to really know what to do. Unpracticed, unhurried as she tries to replicate his movements, kissing back tentatively. This was actually okay. She could do this!

It’s everything else she’s a little worried about, but she focuses her mind on the kiss. The rest will come later.

[abit_ofboth]

Loki doesn’t think he’s ever seen someone blush so much, but then again, this might be the first time he’s been with someone with absolutely no experience. He would swear he could feel her cheek heat under his touch. It’s fascinating and he’s looking forward to seeing what other kinds of reactions he can get out of her.

Keeping his movements slow and gentle, he allows her time to get used to kissing, allowing her to find a rhythm and it isn’t long before Loki notices a difference. After a short while, he pulls back, but not away. He’s not stopping, just checking in.

“How was that?”

[usseewa]

She doesn’t want to stop, not now when she’s finally getting an idea of what to do. It’s so weird, at least at first, trying to understand that kissing with finesse takes time. Time she really isn’t sure she has in a place like this. When he pulls away, she opens her eyes, not realizing she has closed them moments before.

She nods, a little enthusiastically. “Y-yeah! Yeah that was great? Fine? How do you rate a kiss?”

She giggles lightly, one hand reaching up to cup Loki’s cheek lightly.

“This is fine. I promise.”

[abit_ofboth]

How does one rate a kiss? Loki isn't sure, but her answer seems good enough for him. "As long as you are enjoying yourself, that is all that matters." And she does seem to be enjoying herself, that much is at least obvious.

He smiles as she touches his cheek and he leans into it. There's a part of him that is actually a little nervous having never been with someone quite so new to sex at any level, but he's also enjoying the idea of being able to teach her, show her what's good and how she should be treated. There might not be a lot of time for her to develop that finesse, but at very least he can make sure she knows how to be treated.

"Good." He smiles again and leans in to kiss her again, but this time tries something new when he starts to kiss his way down her neck, trying to see how sensitive she might be.

[usseewa]

“I am.” She wants to reassure him that this is fine. That she wants to do this.

Despite her nerves, despite her inexperience, if she has to do this anyway, she’s glad she’s found someone who is patient. She knows not everyone will be, so him checking in on her was a great relief. She smiles when he kisses her again, returning it with fever. Only when he starts to travel down her neck does she gasp, grasping the front of his shirt. Oh! Oh that felt nice.

“Kee-keep doing that.” She practically whispers, chewing on her lower lip, eyes shut tight. “Please.”

[abit_ofboth]

It does help hearing her confirm her enjoyment, though it's pretty obvious from how she's reacting that she's having a good time as well. It isn't like Loki is unaccustomed to compliments in bed, but he will always strive for more.

When she begins to plead, Loki can't help but smile against the soft skin of her neck before he lightly scrapes his teeth over the delicate junction where her shoulder and neck meet. His hands slide down her back, coming to rest just above her ass as he pulls her closer. His own body is beginning to react and soon she will be able to feel signs of that quite easily.

[usseewa]

Oh! Oh the feeling of his teeth grazing against her skin sent shivers down her skin, her thighs squeezing together to try and get some friction. It’s so strange, the sensation of her whole body heating up with each action he takes. His hands on the small of her back, pulling her closer, and she can’t help but shudder against him.

She moves her hands up, caressing his neck, letting her fingers move up into his hair as she tries to find something to ground herself with as she feels like she’s floating. Her nails dig slightly into his scalp, her mouth open in another gasp as she starts to feel his own arousal against her.

[abit_ofboth]

With each reaction she has, Loki takes mental note, preparing a list of what she seems to like best and adding to that. At the reaction to his teeth, he grins before he sucks harder at that spot, aiming to leave a mark. It's not something he does often, but he thinks she might like it, if the light graze of his teeth is anything to go by.

Then her fingers find their way into his hair and he can't stop the soft groan that escapes him. It seems everyone finds out how much he enjoys having his hair played with rather quickly, and Uta is no exception. He's unable to help the slight jerk of his hips, pressing his growing erection against her as he takes a moment to just breathe. He doesn't want to go too fast, and he's already thinking of ways to get her off that don't necessarily lead to penetration (just in case that's too quick for her), but he's also not about to hide how this is affecting him just as much.

"I'm going to try something new now," he says, speaking softly and directly into her ear. Slowly, he moves one hand from her back and slides it around to her front, giving her enough time to put a stop to things if she wishes. If she doesn't stop things, he'll stay above her clothes, at least for now, press his hand to her crotch, giving her something to grind against. He wants to touch her fully, wants to use his mouth on her too, but that feels like jumping too far ahead at the moment.

[usseewa]

She nods, giving him permission to continue.

The mark that blooms on her neck will be a reminder for days to come, and she’s certainly going to remember this. His calm, patient to her inexperience as he carefully, expertly pulls out her desires. She likes the roughness of his teeth on her skin, the way he grinds against her, just as turned on as she is.

When his hand meets her crotch? She feels like she’s on fire and he hasn’t event gotten her clothes off! She gasps, practically whining as she grinds down into his hand. If it felt this good now, what would it be like when he has her undressed?

“Yes! Oh—“ she says against him, fingers tugging on the ends of his hair. “Please—“

She barely knows what she is begging for but more is what she wants.

[abit_ofboth]

Loki pulls back just enough to watch her face as he touches her and he is not disappointed in what he sees. She's even more receptive than he could've imagined. It's like all of this has been bottled up inside her and he's the one lucky enough to see it released for the first time.

His eyes darken as a small smile pulls at his lips while he continues to rub at her through her clothing. If she's already this into it, it's going to be spectacular once they go a bit further.

Seeing as he's gotten very good reactions so far, he uses his free hand to slide up under her shirt, aiming to cup one breast, thumb caressing over a nipple as he continues to work her with his other hand. She's stunning and Loki knows that no matter how far they go, they are both going to enjoy this.

"May I remove some of your clothing?"

[usseewa]

Uta can’t help it as she arches her back, pressing further into his hand. This was so much more than she could have imagined, and she has definitely tried to. Books only got her so far. Romance novels don’t talk about how quick things moved, how easily it was to get lost in pleasure — it wasn’t anything like stories she’s read.

It was so much better.

That doesn’t mean her nerves are gone entirely, not yet. Not when she feels like she’s only taking from this and hardly giving. She wants to do something but she completely out of her depth.

She opens her eyes, just enough to look up at him, her lips parted as her mind tries to catch up to what he said.

Right. Clothes were still on.

“Y-yeah.” She nods with a smile, grinding down against his hand. “Ah— that’s fine!” A pause as she chews on her lip. “Is there anything I s-should be doing?”

With her hands, her lips, anything!

[abit_ofboth]

She is like putty in his hands and he is loving it. Honestly, for someone who is new to this, her reactions are wonderful. Loki can remember his first time and he had been wound up tight until much further into the experience. Of course, he had been consumed by the belief that the person didn’t really like him and it had put him off. After that though, he had decided to not care what anyone thought so long as they were enjoying the moment.

Now he’s thankful to see that she is very much enjoying the moment. At very least, even with her remaining nerves, she is allowing them not to get in the way of trying new things.

Loki stops then, though he doesn’t take his hand away. He just needs a moment to assess if she knows what she’s asking. She seems sure though and he nods before taking one of her hands in his free one and guiding it to the front of his pants, pressing it to the now obvious bulge in the front. They can work their way up to removing clothing in a moment, for now he’s good with over the clothing.

It’s not just for her that he’s taking things slowly, but also so he can keep himself in check.
