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.

OOC NOTES
▶ BLANKET CW: dubcon; nudity; sex toys; aphrodisiacs; alcohol; altered states; gambling; gloryholes; chastity play; bdsm; petplay; very sexy characters doing sexy things
▶ All characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. The house is still observing and deciding. As rank and suits are assigned upon acceptance your character's suit will not manifest until they are accepted into the game.
▶ All TDMs are game canon.
▶ If you aren't satisfied with these prompts, please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort!
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!
▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.
▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.
▶ Most importantly, we wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season!!!!!

Did you want to rest and cuddle for a bit? I can go downstairs and scope out more food for us later in the evening. I got pretty good at pilfering food and making it last, and your diet is easier to accommodate.
[Jin Guangyao flopped over next to him on the bed, picking up his knees and making himself comfortable. It has been a long time since he allowed Lan Xichen to see this side of him, unbothered by propriety and just comfortable in his skin.]
Back in the prison, they had a party and I took so much free food that it lasted through the winter. Dried meat and congee but it was good for the weather.
no subject
[ He nods to the idea of staying in, too exhausted at the idea of fraternising with people who simply don't seem to know how to behave in polite company. Xichen has always preferred the cool, distanced approach of others, not as much as Wangji does but it's quite the experience to suddenly be dumped in a brothel with flesh-hungry men and women around every corner who not only don't keep their distance but assume he wants them in his personal space. ]
Let's get some rest. You can tell me about your adventures, and I'll listen.
no subject
[Jin Guangyao pulled back the blanket so that Lan Xichen could get in and be comfortable.]
Hmm... What kind of stories do you want to hear? I'll probably keep the raunchier ones out. Let's see. They had these dog creatures who looked like fluffy cute dogs but then they would open their mouths and there were rows of sharp teeth!
I almost fell for it too. I wanted to pet them but no. They would come in swarms. You get good at using your environment to defend yourself. The prison and the grounds outside of it were dilapidated. It is so different being in a place that looks like Lanling now.
no subject
You would like the look of this place.
no subject
I don't like that look per se. It reminds me of my father's reign, ostentation with rot underneath. I like more understated elegance, thank you very much. Things can be gold and beautiful if you pair it with other colors as well.
I would like to think that I took care of some of the things that were overly done. Did you know he had a gold chamberpot? You could feed several villages for a year with that! No wonder the accounts were such a mess.
[Jin Guangyao looked at him through his lashes, and pulled him down as well, wrapping his arms around the other man, tightly.]
Er-ge, I was afraid I'd never see you again. I can't believe you are solid and real.
no subject
Yet here I am, listening to you talk about golden chamberpots.
no subject
[He smiles warmly, It wouldn't be a big deal if he did crush him, Nie Mingjue would roll on top of him most nights, so he was fairly used to it.]
You know I would be happy to hear about anything you want to talk about. Even if you list the nuances of every single rule on your walls.
[Jin Guangyao leans up a little bit and gives him a small peck on the dimple on his chin.]
Mine didn't have this, it is cute.
no subject
A chin?
[ Pardon his quizzical state, no one has kissed him before in any manner and Xichen wasn't expecting it. He forgets his common sense. ]
no subject
No silly, this little dimple here. Lan Xichen in every world is the number 1 most eligible bachelor.
Your eyes are the same. Tell me, how did you meet your A-Yao?
no subject
He escorted two pupils to Cloud Recesses many years ago. He waited to speak with me as he had to leave ahead of schedule, so he ... wanted to say goodbye to the sect leader.
[ It was very daring of him and definitely made Xichen take notice. ]
no subject
[His eyes widened, he had mostly been in Heijian helping fight the war. ]
I met the Lan Xichen from my world during the war. He was running from the Wen and I was making a living as a bookkeeper in Yunping after I tried to go to my father and was...rejected.
I don't know what possessed me, but I think I was smitten from the moment I saw him and wanted to do everything in my power to protect him. Goodness, we were so young back then. I was only a youth of barely sixteen...
no subject
Wen Ning and Wen Qing. He arrived as a servant delivering them and offerings of respect to Gusu Lan for the summer lectures. I had been Sect Leader only a couple of years.
[ Tugging on a coil of Jin Guangyao's hair, he smiles softly and imagines his a-Yao as a bookkeeper; it would have suited him too. ]
He was nowhere near as brazen as you. Not with me. It is your biggest difference.
no subject
[Jin Guangyao gave him a small smile, placing his hand on the side of his face.]
Neither was I. I went my whole life, until death not telling you how I felt.
I think this new thing may have been Da-ge's influence. In prison, he has been working with me on being more truthful and honest. I regretted not saying so much when I had the chance. I was always so concerned about how I was being perceived that I never got to live with myself.
[He looks up at him, his eyes soft.]
I refuse to do that in this current life. Does my brazenness bother you?
[His voice was vulnerable, he still felt a bit insecure showing his true self.]
no subject
I'm in bed with a man who just kissed me. I feel a little insane, truth be told. This is not the way I wanted that to happen, if you want my full honesty on the subject.
no subject
[He has also strangely gotten used to small platonic head or chin kisses between his friends, and forgot how odd it would have been in his home world.]
Please excuse my abrasiveness, I meant no harm. It seems like I've been far away from home for too long and have forgotten our customs.
[Jin Guangyao would need to remember not to mention Da-ge again.]
I appreciate your honesty. And it helps me reorient myself. Does Er-ge want help tying his hair up? I was planning to rip my dress into strips so I could get mine out of the way as well. It is not quite a guan but it may help feeling more put together.
[He felt like a dancer who was relearning the steps.]
no subject
[ Jin Guangyao's apologeticness has Xichen smiling in self-derision, giving that long hair on the pillow another light tug. If he wanted to move, he would have by now. ]
I thought I would be married and have someone who belonged to me, they way I would belong to them, before anything happened.
[ Seclusion is more of an indulgence by his uncle and the sect. Wangji gets a pass, given his behaviour over a certain wayward cultivator after their death, but Xichen is the First Jade. He is supposed to do everything without flaw, including intimacy, marriage, partnership, then children. Up until this point, he has been untouched in this regard. ]
You are not abrasive, a-Yao.
[ Ironically, Jin Guangyao is doing everything he can to make Xichen comfortable all over again, as he did in life. The latter is simply more aware of it happening, now. ]
And we can cut up something other than your dress, if you want to keep it.
no subject
Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification.
[He hummed thoughtfully. Jin Guangyao understood the pressure of a first child to marry and have heirs. It was a bit opposite for him, where he had to fight tooth and nail for permission for the sweet woman who wanted to marry him. He rested his hands to the side of his head.]
Our hopes and reality are usually different, but I can understand, that desire to be with someone who wanted and belonged to you fully. And vice versa. Why did Er-ge never marry? You know that I would have supported you to be happy.
Ah, well I think it’s pretty ugly. The fabric is thin and would be good to weave through our hair. That is all.
no subject
[ And he had his friends for diversion, for most of it when lightness of heart was needed. ]
My cultivation method will keep me young, I have time. That is what I told myself.
[ Until his world as he knew it fell apart and he abruptly cared about nothing but the peace of being alone, far from anyone who could use him again. ]
no subject
[Thirteen years of peace. It was worth it that the young ones didn’t know the horrors of war.]
Our generation gave up everything in the war. And the peace and austerity was hard won. I don’t regret that.
Right now you aren’t Zewu-Jun or the first Jade, you are just a man. You have time to find your song.
no subject
[ He hooks a finger in the collar of Jin Guangyao's shirt, tickling the base of his throat. Shouldn't, but does. ]
It seems you have all the experience, this time.
no subject
Er-ge contain multitudes within him.
[Jin Guangyao does not dare move, his cheeks coloring slightly as his throat was tickled. If Er-ge wanted to explore he would allow him to move at his pace.]
Do I have all the experience? This A-Yao doesn’t know.
no subject
[ Jin Guangyao's hair is a safe space to touch so he goes back to petting it, curling it around his fingers as he gazes down at him thoughtfully. ]
Despite all your ... experience, [ to put it as politely as possible, ] I want to ask that you don't tell me how you got it. I don't want to know.
[ Because he would be jealous and mad at ghosts he has never met. ]
no subject
I see.
[He couldn't help how that feeling of possessiveness lit his blood on fire in a way that little else did. He looked up at him through heavy-lidded eyes and wondered how it would be for Lan Xichen, having to play a game where one collected people who had something you needed. It was not too different from Jinlintai, where you had to hunt down someone for a book, or a certain tea and offer something of value in exchange.
He hummed softly in thought. Well he was good at games, he'll help Lan Xichen in whatever way he needed.]
Alright, Er-ge. I won't tell you.
no subject
A-Yao. You're turning the hue of a peach.
no subject
Am I? I wasn't aware that I was turning.
[Something about this was so very intimate, being hidden by the cascade of Lan'Xichen's hair and just being so close to him. It felt as if they were in their own world again.]
Er-ge's skin is lovely and blemish-free as always. He looks like cut porcelain.
[He reached up and tucked a bit of hair behind the shell of his ear.]
