Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

Broca | Arknights
@deferences
[ Rocks embedded into someone's body mean something very different where Broca is from. Something significantly worse...
Though the crystals that appear on people's skin when they're in advanced stages of oripathy aren't typically teal in color, and definitely not cut into the kind of shapes that people would want to display on a necklace or ring. So while it might explain the use of Arts (not Arts...) without something to channel through, it raises a lot of other questions for him.
He'll have to wait to dive into those, because Sizhui is successfully diverting his attention back to the seemingly normal bottle of shampoo that Broca had tossed him, and saying some wild sounding things about it. ]
What.
[ It's not said like a question this time, his inflection flat as he looks in utter disbelief at Sizhui. ]
no subject
luckily, the color does sort of make his gemstone stand out, whether for reasons like sussing out this oripathy broca's concerned with or revealing a little more about his abilities. while it isn't outright glowing, there is a particular shine to it, like it could brighten any moment, and if he shares intimacy with anyone, it just might—
but that's not what's important right now. (yet?)
the tone of broca's voice shifts and sizhui's gaze downcasts, eyes blinking a couple of times as he focuses on the water drip-dripping beside his feet.] Can you not smell it? [foolishly, sizhui lifts the bottle and sniffs, heat flooding into his cheeks when he full-on assaults his senses by doing so.] Mmmaybe it's just influencing those around you? Rather than affecting you at all.
no subject
If Sizhui isn't bothering to try and hide his own stone, than Broca's guessing whatever it is happens to be very different from his own affliction.
He'll circle back to it another time perhaps, for now he's going to stare incredulously at the bottle in Sizhui's hand, before grabbing a lock of his damp hair, and trying ot sniff at it. His hair isn't particularly long, but he can still get a decent whiff of his own hair, and he looks uncertain about what he's being told here. ]
It smells like shampoo?
[ But really shoving the smell right into his own face he can feel a prick of warmth that he's not entirely certain isn't psychosomatic. He doesn't sound too sure either way. ]
no subject
it is very different from oripathy though, beyond question.
he watches intently as broca smells his own hair, looking just as unsure as before, which makes sizhui's face flush with embarrassment and frustration, but moreso the former than the latter. mostly because, following broca's remark, he huffs a sigh, turns the bottle over and begins squeezing some shampoo out, just enough to barely fill his palm before he recaps it and sets it aside. guess they're going to find out the hard(?) way.]
I know I'm not imagining things...
[this is probably a worse idea than him sniffing it directly, and yet he rubs his hands together anyway to spread the soap, lifts both hands and begins scrubbing his fingertips against his scalp, working it into a decent lather.]
(no subject)
@thephotosynthesis
[ Any extra alarm his physical features garner go unnoticed for now. He did admit to having done something he shouldn't have that she screamed at him for, so it seems perfectly fair to him that she's on guard at the moment.
Especially given the fact that she was just being attacked by seemingly autonomous sex toys. ]
Broca.
[ He'll at least use his cat person features for the power of good, by pressing an ear against the door and listening for a moment to see if he hears the sound of undulating rubber. ]
Sounds like they left.
no subject
[ Are dildos that smart? What has this night become that she's trying to figure out the intelligence level of flying sex toys.
Carefully, quietly and ready to slam it back shut, Olivia cracks the door open and peers through it. ]
...Looks like the coast is clear.
no subject
He will stop to scan the area at large for any signs of formerly inanimate objects deciding they want to be part of this moving world as well. ]
What was the point in making those things?
[ Not that he expects Olivia to have the answer, but what an absolute bizarre waste of energy and creativity. ]
no subject
No idea. Let's hurry up and get as far from that shop as possible.

@malpwactice
[ Sometimes one of the most suspicious guy you know goes and says some very suspicious sounding things. If Aak really didn't want a naturally mistrusting guy like Broca to turn around, then he probably made the wrong call with giving him that particular suggestion.
Broca's brow knits together as he immediately twists to look over his shoulder at Aak just a split second after Aak just tried to convince him not to. There's barely any time for Aak to wonder if Broca spotted his particular problem either, because his expression goes from confused agitation, to surprise in a matter of seconds.
He's also not being particularly discrete as his gaze drifts down.
Ah... So that was why Aak mentioned it. The brow stays furrowed as he looks back up at Aak's face. ]
So it wasn't an experiment, it was an excuse.
[ He is absolutely not piecing this together correctly right now, but it's what makes sense to him given...
Well... ]
no subject
[Even though Broca's clearly seen it, Aak is still scrambling back and covering his groin with the towel. His tail is flailing but due to the weight of the water it's just a few pathetic wet slaps against the tile.]
It-
[How could someone looking at him affect him so much? Was this was a specimen felt like under the microscope? He loved the feeling of power on the other side, being the one who controlled things. Getting excited about the other side, though? Lame! Uncool! And yet, here he was, undeniably and provably physically excited.]
No way, it was definitely an experiment!
[And, despite being the truth, it sounds way more like a lie in the situation.]
no subject
At least Broca doesn't look bothered by it-- Well, no more bothered than he ever looks by things. He always looks a little agitated about something, but that's just his resting face, and it can't be helped.
Just like the fact that Aak's choice to use copious amounts of the product he dumped out onto Broca isn't just affecting Aak. It might not be as serious for Broca, but his body is feeling a little more flush than usual in a way that has nothing to do with the steam in the bathroom.
Before he gets up, he makes sure to secure his own towel around his hips, which mostly covers things up, but a little looking and it's clear Aak's not the only one feeling something here. There's several long seconds of agonizing silence as Broca continues to study Aak, before he jerks his head towards the left, and starts to walk off that way, not waiting to see if Aak is actually following that wordless order or not.
Either way, he's making his way to an area that's a little more private, whether he's dealing with his problem alone or with company. ]

@worldbent
[ Their interaction so far has been brief, and the majority of it now taken up by this power struggle of a kiss. Broca wouldn't pretend to know the first thing about what drives the man currently curling his fingers into his newly acquired shirt.
There are a few guesses he'd hazard to take about him, but whether he's genuinely enjoying this kiss right now, or just trying to push and pull Broca around without warning is beyond his guess. The fact that he hasn't the foggiest what this guy's deal is, but intimacy with this unknown variable is a necessity for them both right now kind of drives Broca up a wall.
He doesn't like relying on people he doesn't know and has no reason to trust, even for minor things like getting out of a closet a little faster.
Still, he can begrudgingly admit in the sanctity of his own mind that this kiss isn't half bad. Broca's never been great at soft and gentle, and he doesn't typically look for that in partners either, so the grip on his shirt is a nice, grounding contrast to the soft rubbing at his ears.
Not quite grounding enough for Broca not to shove Matoba against the indestructible door as a little petty retribution for the laugh. Though in his effort not to break the kiss, the shove isn't nearly as hard as would actually soothe any ruffled fur. ]
no subject
[After all, it could be worse, right? (Later, Matoba will almost certainly reaffirm to himself: it will get worse.)]
[If Broca's strengths aren't gentleness, that doesn't seem to be a problem for his fellow trap-ee, who makes no motion to escape when he's bodily shunted up against the door. Unfortunately for Broca, it also doesn't discourage the chuckle, which is interrupted by a gasp of shuddered breath on impact and then returns with a vengeance. Matoba's lips curve against his mouth and his own opens wider, open territory and a chance for Broca to take control of the kiss if he was interested in grabbing for dominance in this encounter, but certainly not doing anything to mute the source of his annoyance. If anything, it's taken as encouragement.]
[Despite the open amusement, there's still an eagerness to temper it with mutual encouragement- if that's what the careful stroking to Broca's ears can be taken as while the rubbing continues, mixing in with twisting curls of his hair around the man's fingers. The hand that had bunched into his shirt flexes tighter, white-knuckled, and then drags fingerpads slowly and experimentally downward, pressing over ribs and stomach until they curl against navel.]
[It's a test, maybe. Seeking a reaction as he moves ever lower?]
no subject
All that doubt and apprehension doesn't mean that Broca isn't still painfully easy to lead around by the nose by anyone who is even mildly cunning enough to do so, and even though Matoba was the one to drag Broca into this kiss, Broca's unwittingly continue to fall into doing this the way Matoba wants.
The aggressive displays of force seem to be met with frustrating enthusiasm, and despite that fact, he still doesn't think twice at Matoba's literally open invitation. His tongue slides into the other man's mouth, and with Matoba pressed against the door this way it's easier to leverage more force into the kiss. Teeth press against his lips almost as often as another pair of lips do.
Perhaps even more teeth than lips as that hand starts to trail down Broca's body, causing the muscle to reflexively tense as it goes. The whole thing feels... nice. The fingers against his ears and tangling through his hair, the hand against his body, the mouth pressed against his own.
Prior to the strange happenings inside this resort, it had been awhile since Broca had much in the way of intimate contact, and it feels easy enough to get overwhelmed by it now.
Though not so overwhelmed that he's not aware of what is happening right now. Seven minutes demanded or not, Broca forgets about the rules of this for a second to break the kiss and look down at Matoba, brows furrowed in thought. He's not reaching to stop him though, even as his fingers press tighter against the sides of his neck, not as a warning, just a reflex as he takes a breather to better understand the turn this is taking.
Just a few tense seconds of silence, before Broca makes a comment that comes as close to a joke as any statement does with him. ]
If you do, you better hope they really don't open up the door after all.

@additionalterms
[ One has to admire the hustle and the grind.
... Well, one doesn't really have to admire it, though ironically enough Broca might have some understanding for why the flattery is being laid on so thick here if he knew the reasons. Instead his nose wrinkles in distaste at what is definitely just a benign sounding compliment as he holds the sweater up higher, like he's struggling to understand why he has to explain himself here. ]
Everything.
[ Makes it seem weird he picked it then, right? Admittedly he did not do that, but there's no reason for any outsider to know that. ]
no subject
Oh, I see. You wanted to have a conversation starter!
[ He claps his hands together and steps closer. One step more, he would hook his arm underneath the stranger's. ] No need to be so coy. I'm a friendly sort of Sinner who loves to make friends with others. [ And he smiles: ] Oops! Is that using the word 'friendly' too much?
Anyway! If you like, why don't we try to find something that suits you better, ah? [ And he leans forward, bringing his ear closer to the man's face, as a hint-hint to have him introduce himself. ]
no subject
@peacewithouttyranny
[ It could be worse. While Broca also had to go through the humiliation in that particular closet as well, he also had some... mishaps related to a certain brand of shampoo that don't need to go remarked on. He's of the same mind when it comes to the absurdity of this place, and the situations they've been thrown into so far.
If they're already escalating to the point that people are literally being dragged to him on leashes, then what happens next?
He closes his eyes for a second, letting out a heavy exhale, before holding out the end of the leash he's holding to what appears to be a young woman. ]
Take this, and stand still for a moment.
[ He can, assuming the collar doesn't have any more unusual tricks up its proverbial sleeve. ]
@armwriostle
[ Well... now this man has his attention. Broca's ears perk up as the tone shifts, and he realizes that the teasing that happened on the floor might have been somewhat put on for the sake of the game they were asked to play. Something that Broca might have been able to join in on if he wasn't a tragic mix of overly serious and brutally straightforward at all times.
With this new revelation in place, he gives himself a moment to study Wriothesley more carefully, mulling his thoughts about this situation over in his head before voicing anything out loud. ]
I'm fine with having sex with you.
[ See? Almost needlessly straightforward ]
I don't really care if you give me orders either, but if I don't want to do them, then I won't.
[ Of course that's in theory true for any of the people playing the role of pet. Boundaries should be established in a good round of kinky fun, though given the rules of the game, it seemed like Broca's opinions on the matter would clash heavily with his ability to get a proper payout.
So if this man wants to help him get that, then Broca's more than willing to lay out his own terms here. He's not unreasonable! Just... slightly difficult and somewhat unyielding. ]
no subject
[He seems to think a little over what he says next. Before gesturing for the other to come to him.] Come here then. [A simple order. He can work with someone refusing to accept orders if they don't want to obey.
Who really was the Master here?]
So sex is fine. Then can I just ask what you're not willing to do? That's easy right? Like I said, I'm pretty easy, so I probably am willing to do a hell of a lot more than you're willing to do. I want us to both have fun preferably. What's the point otherwise? [He gives Broca an easy smile.]
no subject
It makes it easier to walk over to Wriothesley now too, even if Broca does it at a unhurried pace, his frown deepening at the question. His past sexual encounters have mostly been impromptu affairs without a lot of preamble. Actually being asked what he'd like to avoid throws him for a small loop, and he actually has to think about it for a second. ]
Don't talk down to me during.
[ And...
.... And...?
Oh, no... Okay, that seems to be the full list he's come up with so far. There probably are other things that Broca isn't willing to do either, but his sex life hasn't been that adventurous, and he's coming up blank of things people have done in the past that have annoyed him.
Though after some thought, he does add one thing. ]
Or at all.
[ So no talking down to him at all. It's a start, right? At least now it's clear he doesn't have a degradation kink, and certain types of dirty talk is on the fence. ]
(no subject)
iiia. you think you can escape me?? fool
[ Midnight pats the seat next to him, ruby wine spilling out of his cup. Of course his first instinct in a new world is to find the first way to get sloshed. Of course.
Still, Midnight pushes his heart mask up, peers at the man to make sure his alcohol intake hasn't affected his vision that much. That is the senior operator, right? ]
Delighted to see you, if that is you. Come closer, I want to look at your face.
😳
Those traits are definitely making it impossible for him to hide who he is, mask or no.
Still, it takes Midnight pushing up his own mask for recognition to hit for him, and he moves to join a fellow Rhodes Island operator at the bar. ]
Midnight.
[ A... friendly? Friendly enough face. He'd seen Aak earlier too, so it was somewhat comforting to know he wasn't the only operator that ended up here, especially when his usual planner wasn't with him. ]
no subject
When did you get here? You must try this wine... Had a bit of the Jammy Berry, didn't go down quite properly, but I had the proprietress add just a bit to the Sweet Osmanthus and it is heavenly. Go on, darling.
[ With that too overly familiar, mostly intoxicated pet name, Midnight pushes his drink at his fellow operator. Sharing is caring! And Midnight cares. So much. (Too much!) ]
