TDM 010


【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system. We have arranged for a selection of basement suites to temporarily house new arrivals until reservations have been processed. We hope you'll join us in giving our new guests a warm and loving welcome.

We have an exciting announcement! The house will be hosting a carnival for all guests to celebrate the Golden Peacock's birthday. Please look forward to food, games, and attractions in the Cloud-Dwelling Garden. The carnival will be available for guests to enjoy for seven days. Happy birthday week, Golden Peacock*!

We hope you are as thrilled as we are! And, as always, we hope you enjoy your stay.

*Please note that this is an arbitrarily chosen date for the Golden Peacock's birthday, which is unknown.



PEACOCK PRELUDE The Golden Peacock is buzzing with energy as staff quickly set up a dazzling stretch of attractions throughout the Cloud-Dwelling Garden. Booths are erected, rides are built, and the artificial weather is set to hot and sunny. Guests that head to the carnival grounds may find themselves sweating heavily in a summery 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

The receptionists at the front desk are hard at work running through new arrival reservations. All looks well in the system. Unexpectedly, they are stirred from their focus when one of the bellhops flies to the front desk in a panic. "Where are the new arrivals?!" the bellhop asks.

"What do you mean?" Brenda, one of the day receptionists, replies, "They should be in their basement suites. That's what the system says."

The bellhop slowly shakes his head. "No, there are no new arrivals downstairs. I went to deliver arrival gifts and the rooms are empty. Something's wrong."

The receptionists look at each other with growing fear. Oh, no... where on earth did those new arrivals go?!


FUN HOUSE
THIS MUST BE SOMEONE'S NIGHTMARE
WAKING UP IN FUN-DERLANDDue to a computer glitch in the resort's system after reverting back from cruise liner to resort, new arrivals have gone missing. Though they have been properly assigned to basement rooms, the guests themselves are nowhere to be found! After much panic behind the front desk, the receptionists have pinned down their general location. New arrivals are waking up randomly in either the carnival's fun house or tunnel of love. Whoops!

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. Fun house robes are wildly patterned and glow in the dark. They are designed to highlight the wearer's insecurities, which are written in neon for all to see. Their robe can share anything related to an insecurity the character has, be it a past mistake or an embarrassing fear.

Where guests wake up in the fun house is completely random. They may wake up in any location or inside fun house props. Whether they're stuffed inside of a giant jack-in-the-box or half-hanging off a tilted floor section that slowly starts to shift more and more, new arrivals will always be paired up with or in the vicinity of another guest. Even when glitching the computer system knows to encourage guests to get together!
TWISTS AND TURNSMIRROR MAZE: A labyrinth of floor-to-ceiling mirrors that vary between clean, warped, cracked, and fogged. The air smells like glass cleaner and electricity. Guests will find that lighting constantly shifts, sometimes bright white, sometimes flickering reds and pinks. Those trying to navigate the maze may find that reflections aren’t always accurate. Their reflection seems to have a mind of its own at times, wanting to swap places...

SPINNING TUNNEL: A giant, rotating cylindrical tunnel. Black-and-white stripes blur as it spins. Music thumps faintly, like a heartbeat, and the floor below is stable… until trying to walk. Those that cross the tunnel may find that touching its walls causes strange effects: dizzying flashbacks, emotional surges, or haunting voices.

TILTED ROOM: A room that looks normal at first. However, the entire structure is tilted on a sharp diagonal. Everything leans. Walking becomes an effort. Objects roll and slide unexpectedly. Gravity subtly shifts while guests are inside, creating an almost dreamlike float or fall sensation. The floor slowly moves and tilts, revealing a gaping tunnel below. Who knows where you'll wind up if you fall.

ROOM OF INFINITE DOORS: A circular room with dozens of nearly identical doors lining the walls. Some doors are normal. Some are smaller. Some are red, blue, or warped. A game begins: "Choose wisely. One leads out. One leads deeper." Guests that fall deeper into the world of doors will find strange rooms, such as rooms that amplify emotions or rooms or require riddles to move on.

LIVING PORTRAIT HALL: A long, dim hallway lined with gilded picture frames. Candlelight flickers even though there are no flames. The floor creaks and the air smells faintly of old wood, oil paint, and decay. Some portraits try to trap the viewer’s attention with hypnotic eyes, pulling them closer. Others whisper secrets from the canvas, lips unmoving, sharing things the guest(s) may not want others to know. Characters may even find a portrait of themselves, only older, younger, wounded, joyful, or with someone they don’t recognize.

REVERSE GRAVITY ROOM: The ceiling is a replica of the floor ... but some people wake up on the ceiling while others walk normally below. Lights and shadows stretch between them. Objects hover midair. Characters can "fall upward" if they jump and gravity can shift suddenly, swapping those on the floor with who’s on the ceiling.
TUNNEL OF LOVE
FIND SOME PHYSICAL RELEASE
DROPPED INTO LOVEDue to a computer glitch in the resort's system after reverting back from cruise liner to resort, new arrivals have gone missing. Though they have been properly assigned to basement rooms, the guests themselves are nowhere to be found! After much panic behind the front desk, the receptionists have pinned down their general location. New arrivals are waking up randomly in either the carnival's fun house or tunnel of love. Whoops!

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. Tunnel of love robes are sheer, short, and sexy. They are designed to highlight the wearer's desires, which are printed in bright neon for all to see. Their robe can share anything related to kinks they're horny for to emotional needs that have gone unmet.

► The Peacock's tunnel of love is more like an endless red-light district. Guests that wake up in or visit this attraction will find themselves thrown into a sexual extravaganza, with red heart hallways and various erotic rooms designed to tantalize. No one leaves the tunnel of love without a little satisfaction.

Where new arrivals wake up in the tunnel of love is completely random. Like the fun house, they can wake up in any of the featured rooms or already engaged with tunnel props. Feel free to get wild with new arrivals waking up in a sex swing or tied up and gagged in a BDSM dungeon. The below rooms are not an exhaustive list of the amenities available in the tunnel of love.
YOU AND ME, BABYCARNIVAL CRUSH ROOM: A whimsical romance "fairground" with booths, lights, and games. Includes a carousel-style bed that spins, walls decorated like kissing booths, love tester machines, and cotton candy scents.
  • Kissing Booths: Guests can take turns playing booth attendant and customer. Each visit costs one flirty compliment.
  • Spin-the-Dare Wheel: Comes with fun or cheeky dares: "kiss a freckle," "whisper your biggest turn-on," "give a lap dance in clown socks."

  • CAVEMAN CAVE: Stone walls, fur rugs, flickering torch-like lights. This saucy soundtrack includes distant jungle noises and crackling fire. Primitive, but cozy! Designed to help guests get in touch with their inner beast.
  • Hunt & Claim: One guest "hunts" the other, catching them with a toy club or lasso, and then "claims their prize." 😉
  • Firelight Storytelling: Whisper silly or sexy stories in caveman-speak. First guest to laugh loses and owes the winner a kiss.

  • ► FORBIDDEN LAIR: Designed to feel just a little dangerous, this is a space where guests are invited to explore power, play, and vulnerability within trust. Includes a large mirror-backed bed, plush armchairs, an antique armoire labeled "Curiosity Cabinet," and a control console with themed lighting and sound triggers.
  • Curiosity Cabinet: A chest of drawers or box with labeled compartments marked with words like: Temptation, Surrender, Truth, Control, Heat, Stillness, Confess, and Tease. Players take turns choosing a drawer. Inside each is a prompt, challenge, or scenario to act out or respond to.
  • Guide Me: One guest is blindfolded while the other uses only their voice to direct their hands to touch or explore. As a voyeur–exhibitionist trust game, players are not permitted to touch each other.

  • ► ONSEN GARDEN: A Japanese spa with a soaking tub, tatami mats, and cherry blossoms. This room invites slowness, mindfulness, and intentional intimacy. The experience is less about intensity and more about presence, connection, and subtle seduction.
  • Yukata Game: Both guests wear yukata robes. Every time one guests makes the other smile, sigh, or gasp, the other must undo one knot or fold of the robe. The first stripped naked first loses.
  • Hot & Cold Tease: One guest is blindfolded. With elements available in the room (warm bathwater; cool air; warm towels; chilled sake cups; cold stones; etc), the other guest uses only temperature to provoke reactions. The receiver must guess what’s being used.


  • TREATS AND EATS
    IT'S WORTH THE STOMACHACHE
    LIMITED EDITION Lines of food stalls can be found throughout the carnival grounds. Many of these foods are normal and have no special effects! Guests can enjoy bubble waffles, boba tea, crepes, fried potatoes, and all of the typical festival fare without worry. There are also options for aphrodisiacs for guests that would like to indulge, but these spiked treats are labeled accordingly.

    However, it wouldn't be the Golden Peacock without some homebrew special treats to delight the senses! Limited edition carnival snacks can be found across the stalls. Each of these limited edition snacks comes with a unique effect. While guests will be warned that something will happen, they won't be told specifically what. They'll have to give it a try!

    ENMUSUBI DANGO: Three-color dango tied together with a red string. Causes the holders of each end of the string to feel compelled to lean toward each other with increasing curiosity and attraction. Perfect for the classic "Oops, we’re too close” moment that leads to accidental kisses or confessions.

    BANANA CHOCO: Chocolate-covered banana on a stick, decorated with hearts or blushy faces. Eating it dramatically heightens the consumer's awareness of others' lips and mouth. Cravings to suck on lips, mouth, or tongue may occur. Turns casual snacking into a full-blown show of seduction. Very popular at late-night booths!

    HONNE AMAZAKE: A small cup of warm, creamy amazake served in a painted ceramic cup. Loosens even the tightest of tongues. The next compliment or desire the consumer tries to hide slips out instead. Ideal for nervous lovers and bold surprises.

    YAKIIMO SHISEN: Roasted sweet potato served steaming hot, wrapped in parchment with love charms. After eating, the consumer may find themselves becoming aroused every time they make eye-contact with someone. Eye contact has never been this sexy ... or this risky!

    KATSUBO SENBEI: Thin rice crackers with crimson sesame seeds and a crackling center. Induces a deep physical craving for affection or attention, which can only be sated by skin contact. The more you eat, the more intense it becomes!

    TSUYA HADA CAKE: Glossy sponge cake with iridescent glaze that looks like skin under moonlight. Eating it makes the consumer's skin feel velvety soft and incredibly sensitive for thirty minutes. Every brush of air or fabric feels intimate. Turns any touch, even accidental, into something electric.

    HANA NETSU-SHU: Vivid pink sake with slow-rising bubbles and a perfumed aroma. Induces a rising body heat and euphoric heart-flutter. This intensifies when the drinker is close to someone they're physically attracted to. Drinking it together is a slow burn into full temptation.
    LET THEM EAT ASS ► A parade thunders through the festivities every day at noon. This elaborate spectacle honors a deeply beloved asset: juicy, glorious, dumptruck asses. In the middle of the procession is a float that carries "The Great Ass" — a giant lovingly rendered thick ass. Dancers dance and drummers drum, kites fly, and the crowd cheers. Guests are encouraged to join the parade and praise the majesty of a fat ass.

    ► Leaders of the parade are on the lookout for guests with ideal juicy asses. Guests with amazing asses will be dragged on to the grand ass float and crowned 'Ass Royalty'. They will be forced to stay with the parade until it reaches the center of the carnival, where they'll be given a rose to throw into the crowd as a token of affection to any guest that's caught their eye. Be careful who you throw your rose to — whoever claims the rose now has the privilege of eating that fine ass.

    ► Leaders heavily encourage their chosen Ass Royalty to play along, because long-standing guests will riot if the ass ritual in not completed. Refusal to choose someone will cause long-standing guests to get violent in hangry ass rage. Thankfully, the ass-eating ritual does not need to take place publicly, so Ass Royalty may enjoy having their asses eaten in the privacy of a comfortable suite. Those too shy for some ass eating can also take this opportunity to pretend it's happening to satisfy their fans.
    GAMBLES AND GAMES
    TAKE A CHANCE
    GAME BOOTHS ► Carnival games galore! Guests will find a number of games to play throughout the garden grounds. Ring toss, balloon darts, bean bag toss, cornhole, trivia games, basketball, can knockdown—you name it, we've got it. The more guests win, the bigger stuffies they can claim as prizes. Some of these stuffies are adorable knockoffs of popular mascots, but others are a bit stranger. Guests may find stuffie organs, dicks, boobs, butts. They may even find stuffie versions of themselves hanging on the prize wall (and some of those self stuffies have extra fat asses — carnival limited edition!).

    An especially popular game amongst the guests is goldfish catch, where guests can try and catch a living goldfish from a pool with a paper net. Catching a goldfish means you get to take it home in a plastic baggie! However, after winning a new goldfish and walking away, guests may discover that their goldfish is a bit... strange. Goldfish won from goldfish catch may say some very inappropriate things. Worse, it seems to be mimicking their voice? Hopefully someone doesn't think that's you loudly commenting on the way their ass cheeks clap when they walk.

    ► Looking for something a bit more energetic? Another hit game that guests are lining up to play is sexy dildo toss. Guests are randomly pulled from the crowd and strapped to a spinning wooden wheel. Other guests will attempt to strike articles of their clothing with velcro dildos. If a dildo sticks to a piece of clothing, the booth attendant will tear it off. The game continues until the guest strapped to the wheel is completely stripped or throwers run out of dildos. Good luck!
    GACHAPON ► Gachapon, or toy capsule machines, can be found all over the carnival. These machines dispense small, collectible toys housed in plastic capsules. Guests are going wild trying to get the latest Lafoufou set, which has newly arrived at the Golden Peacock, as well as unique sex toys that are only available for a limited time during the festivities. Some long-standing guests have even resorted to pickpocketing in order to get rare collectibles! How else are they going to get that S+ rare limited edition "Giant Ass" Lafoufou?

    Another new popular carnival exclusive set can be won through the gachapon: Fated Mates Tokens. There are dozens of unique token pairs distributed across the carnival's gachapon. The token won't trigger until its owner meet eyes with the person who possesses its pair. At that moment, both guests will feel a violent shock of imprinting. For the next few hours, the imprinted couple will feel intense obsession toward one another. Fated Mates LLC is not responsible for any possessiveness, kidnapping, animalistic behavior, or other escalating unhealthy behavior between fated mates.
    LUCKY CATS Numerous booths around the carnival are selling adorable little lucky cats. These cats are hollow inside, with a red thread attached to a fortune hidden within their bellies. Anyone who asks about them will be regaled with tales of the bakaneko and nekomata. These little fortunes have gathered energy from cat spirits over many years.

    The sellers will advise that guests follow their heart and select a cat with great reverence and caution. Those that win the affection of the cat spirits may be blessed with good luck. Those that do not, on the other hand, will be cursed with bad luck. Are you willing to take the risk?

    There are five possible outcomes for lucky cat fortunes. All lucky fortunes will last for 24-hours after reading. May the affection of cats ever be in your favor!

    GREAT LUCK: Meow meow meow, you can almost hear the affectionate purring of the cat spirits when you read your fortune. You are a chosen one among chosen ones. Loved by the cat spirits, you have been granted amazing luck that brings fortune, unexpected delights, and incredible success! For a period of time you're so charming that people simply cannot look away, naturally drawn to the aura of light glittering around you. There's no telling what you could get away with right now.

    GOOD LUCK: You have shown enough reverence and/or adoration for cats. The cat spirits are pleased. As a reward for being a good feline slave, the cats have blessed you with a boon of good luck. You will have fortuitous encounters, success in games, and perhaps even find someone to warm your bed with.

    NOTHING: The cat spirits are indifferent to you and have not bothered to curse or bless you. Perhaps you're too boring for them? Either way, nothing happens, but you have this cute little cat figurine to keep as a knickknack for your shelf.

    BAD LUCK: The cat spirits are not impressed. While they don't outright hate you, they aren't fond of you either. You're now cursed with bad luck, which mainly consists of a series of minor inconveniences. The snack you wanted to try is sold out, you've stubbed your toe, you're getting stuck in random rooms and tripping over nothing. Somewhere, the cats are amused at your misfortune.

    TERRIBLE LUCK: Hiss hiss hiss! The cat spirits despise you and have thrown a grand curse on top of your head. What have you done that's pissed them off so much?! Whatever it was, you're now cursed with terrible luck. Embarrassing encounters, fashion mishaps, random injuries, losing every game you play... there seems to be no end to the unfortunate incidents lobbed your way. Maybe you should go home and sleep until the terrors end?


    NIGHTS TO REMEMBER
    THE SUN GOES DOWN
    DAZZLING LANTERNS ► When the digital sun goes down and artificial night claims the sky, brilliantly colored lanterns rise. Brightly colored animals line the pathways and sway from booths, their light dusting the carnival grounds in warm glow. A night parade carrying lanterns of all kinds threads through the garden's pathways.

    ► Night booths selling small lanterns to set off across the ponds or lift into the air open. Sellers gesture for guests to come closer, trying to show off their gorgeous lanterns while explaining various Golden Peacock traditions. Very reasonable prices! Half off! Sixty percent off for you, because you have a nice face!

    Guests that release a red lantern together will have a fated affinity forevermore, in every life after this. Blue lanterns released can carry a wish to the heavens; it may come true in a way least expected. Green lanterns grant good health and fortune. White lanterns symbolize love for the dearly departed. Golden lanterns released together will culminate in a happy marriage.

    ► Whether or not these bold claims are true or just a way to sell more lanterns remains to be seen... but there's no harm in joining in on some fun, is there?
    FUCK-RIS WHEEL ► The ferris wheel lights up. Gentle music plays as it slowly goes around. Staff members encouraging guests to come and enjoy luxurious passenger cars and a birds-eye view of the lantern parade. However, the ride attendants are strict about there only being two passengers per car, no more and no less. If asked, they will claim that it's an important part of the experience.

    ► The passenger cars are cozy and snug, decorated with hearts and velvet seats. The windows are large, offering a breathtaking view of the garden grounds and all of the festivities happening across the carnival. Music gently plays as the car rotates around the wheel.

    ► Eventually, guests will notice that their car keeps going around and around with no intention to let them off. A cheerful voice from the speaker advises: HELLO, GUESTS! IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE FUCK-RIS WHEEL, ONE PASSENGER IN YOUR CAR MUST ORGASM. THE RIDE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ONE GUESTS CLIMAXES. UPON COMPLETION, THE LOCK WILL RELEASE. THANK YOU!

    Someone has to come in order for you both to go. Guests risk being trapped in the fuck-ris wheel until the carnival ends if they don't manage to complete this task. Staff will be notified when the task is completed and guests will be released immediately upon success.
    CENTER STAGE ENTERTAINMENTThe grand night pavilion opens! Idols and musicians come from all around the resort to show off their talents. Groups of guests play games, dance, and entertain each other. Fabulous bird shows and sparkling circus performances go on throughout the night. Guests are welcome to sign up for a time slot and show off their special talents.

    Ace and Rank 2 characters will find themselves with a spat of bad luck here. Registered in the staff's system as the lowest ranks—1 and 2 respectively—these lowly guests will be roped into dressing up as clowns or other circus performers to entertain the masses. They'll be bullied into dressing up in elaborate costumes and thrown out on stage to engage in embarrassing acts for the audience. If they don't satisfy, the audience has been directed to throw tomatoes at them for fun.

    Staff will beg Royal Rank guests to participate on stage as well, but they won't be forced into it. Anything they want to do is fine. They'll receive cheers and bouquet tosses even if they stand there and blink at the audience.

    gamegod: i ask "which merc do you think would make the best husband?" (anytime i'm playing on a tf2 server)

    [personal profile] gamegod 2025-07-18 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
    ... the desire sensor is truly OP...

    [Kurama hangs his head. He didn't doubt Fubuki's still, not at all! Simply, to see it accomplished so easily ahead of him when he was beginning to struggle truly ignites his desire to do better.]

    Ahem. Good work, Fubuki.

    [The employee hands over the wolf god's prize- it's a Matsuri, with her ridiculously long sword stitched to her hand.]

    With our powers combined we should be able to get a full set.
    awooing: (pic#17921291)

    [personal profile] awooing 2025-07-19 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
    [ he takes the matsuri which is... very normal looking! nothing strange about it except for the quality. the stitches are loose with the smallest defects in the cloth and the finer details don't seem quite right. colors are slightly altered. the eyes are different sizes. if there's symmetry, the machine that might've made it could've been in an earthquake. ]

    For both of us, right?

    [ he's not taking the next ring quite yet, opting to play with the doll. the half-beast gently butts its head into kurama's shoulder. ]

    If that's the case... I think you should win the next one. Maybe you can get yourself. He's kind of cute.
    gamegod: can we not victim blame ("after you got jumanji'd)

    [personal profile] gamegod 2025-07-19 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
    [Kurama thinks the quality of the Matsuri plush matches the god herself. There's a charm to it, despite its flaws. Fubuki bumps his head against the tengu god's shoulder and he absently pats his head.]

    [ah]


    Ideally I'd like to get as many as possible out of the wrong hands. [so he pulls his hand back.]

    I'm sure they failed to capture my divine majesty. Still, I don't want it out there circulating among these sex-crazed villagers.

    [So, another exchange, another set of rings. One bounces off the ring again but after seeing Fubuki accomplish it he has a much better lock on the motion needed. The second ring lands without so much as a ricochet.]
    awooing: (pic#17921293)

    [personal profile] awooing 2025-07-19 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
    I guess that's not the kind of worship you're looking for, huh.

    [ voice trailing off as he patiently waits for kurama to take his turn. as the second ring leaves his fingers, he already has an idea of how successful he'll be. it just takes some time. effort. attention to detail. and above else, a cool head! also some semblance of depth perception.

    and once it does rest around the bottle, fubuki claps politely. ]


    A worthy victory. Here's hoping we'll get a doll of one of us.

    [ this next doll is of a white wolf, plush and pointed icy blue shards adorning its form. its eyes are piercing and bright. even as a doll, it's kind of ferocious looking. ]

    Huh. That's...
    gamegod: and then drop it for a year (i should get addicted to a farming sim)

    [personal profile] gamegod 2025-07-19 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
    [Kurama holds the wolf in his hand and all he can think is,]

    Well, that's quite tasteless. [Does that mean there's also a Kamurosaki doll back there? Perhaps that one can stay there. He wouldn't speak ill of the corrupted god, not in front of Fubuki, but he's allowed to hold a grudge from so long ago. He tilts the doll a bit and,]

    Oh! [he quickly rights it]

    More tasteless than I could have imagined. Fubuki, don't look.

    [the quadruped doll may or may not be packing a felted red rocket]
    awooing: (pic#17921292)

    [personal profile] awooing 2025-07-20 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
    Hm?

    [ being told not to look only invites a curious set of eyes to follow, and upon his discovery of what kurama is trying to hide? he blushes. a bright pink that is striking against his pretty fair features. ]

    I... I see. Um.

    [ sniffs. he tries to put on a serious and calm face, only to fail when he can't stop looking. it's embarrassing for sure. ]

    That's not... what it really looks like. They got it wrong.
    gamegod: i don't have any tips for you i'm just telling you a fact (public speaking is actually really easy)

    [personal profile] gamegod 2025-07-20 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
    [For being the god of winter he sure resembles cherry blossoms right now...]

    I told you not to look.

    [Kurama shoves the doll into his bag of plush trophies with no respect or dignity. The tail sticks out from the top of the bag but at least nothing untoward was showing.]

    They likely changed it to match some depraved fantasy. Some of the booths have had models of a similar shape and larger size.

    ["Models," you know... just models. Not used for anything else.]
    awooing: (pic#17921293)

    [personal profile] awooing 2025-07-21 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
    [ part of him wants to win another just so he can personally inspect what these plushies have been packing, and while he's been holding onto the summer god and hasn't noticed anything out of place, it's not like he goes out of his way to look at her in any specific way. ]

    Do the ones of yourself have any kinds of alterations?

    [ who knows what's hiding beneath those clothes of his. not that fubuki is curious for any reason other than ensuring kurama hasn't been defaced or anything! ]

    Or do we need to keep winning them to make sure we are represented accurately.

    [ he will protect kurama's naturals... big or small or however they may present ]
    gamegod: and i've started to see a repressed sadness in his eyes (i'm running a heatran team)

    [personal profile] gamegod 2025-07-21 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [While it's difficult to get any fantasy-accurate depictions on a plush-sized model, some of the other booths simply had sex toys as part of their prize pool. Those, certainly, came in all kinds of inhuman shapes and sizes. Not to mention there was so much bird theming due to the damned place's name...]

    I've yet to get a plush representation of myself.

    [He doesn't even consider that Fubuki might immediately want to flip up those robes and see what they put underneath. Also, why couldn't he have his robes if the plush could!?]

    Perhaps you'll have better luck? The system might be rigged to ensure people don't simply get their own doll.
    awooing: (pic#17921295)

    [personal profile] awooing 2025-07-23 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
    [ a handful of rings are held out to him and he unconsciously takes them, feeling their weight in his hands as he idly traces a finger around one. there's something different this time but he can't really figure out why? perhaps they're smaller than the last ones, a way to get them to keep playing but be less successful with each toss. or are they covered in a light trace of something slick that'll make it harder for them to throw? ]

    Maybe. They don't get anything from us winning or losing, do they?

    [ if there is, it's not obvious to him. that alone makes him suspicious. ]

    How badly do we need them...

    [ and with that? fubuki throws a couple of those rings, watching them bounce off and clatter off and onto the floor around the bottles. how easy it was minutes ago! ]
    gamegod: >abysmal (graphics quality: >sanguine)

    [personal profile] gamegod 2025-07-24 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
    [Kurama is keeping a watchful eye on the fairness of the carnival game. A certain amount of size shift might be deemed appropriate- scaling difficult and all- but a lubricant would be utterly unfair to the player.]

    There must be some motivation for it- for the dolls being made, for our arrival here- just because we don't yet see it doesn't mean it isn't there.

    [He sounds confident despite the fact the universe is cold and random sometimes. And sometimes the meaning exists but is two otherworldly beings just really wanna see them bang.]

    [The ring dings off and clatters to the ground.]


    I see, when it comes to winning my image, you don't need it? [this is teasing, he can't help it]

    [ not knowing is what bothers him the most. he's all for surprises, but this feels malicious! basically kidnapping two gods and sending them to some vulgar resort where things are just... of very poor taste? neither he or kurama deserve this! they should be in their respective villages, taking care of the people that live there, ensuring the runes are flowing and whatever delicate balances there are can be managed. ]

    I mean, I don't need it. [ he tosses another ring and huffs when it joins the other one on the ground. ] I want it.

    [ and then he sniffs, looking at kurama with pink in his cheeks, his eyes sloped from embarrassment. ]

    Is that a bad thing?

    [He is certain that if they were only gone for a little while, the other gods and the Rune Dancer would cover for them. The two of them here would likely be lonelier than the villages they left. However, how long would they be stuck here? He prefers not to think of that strange game as the only way to exit but if it were then even at a card a day that was a months-long affair.]

    [Anyways, there's a bit of pink in response.]


    ... No. [It was a good answer, really. Kurama feels like it would be much better suited to a visual novel heroine than to him.]

    Then I'll entrust you with earning mine. [he pats the other on the shoulder with his own brand of distant, awkward affection]

    [ if for some reason he can't be with kurama all the time, then the doll of him would suffice. same could be said the other way around! any good memory is one to keep as long as he can, and it'd probably do wonders for his self-imposed loneliness that a funny guy like kurama might go through. ]

    Then... watch this!

    [ if there's no risk to playing and only reward, what's stopping fubuki from grabbing the tray of rings in front of him and just throwing them all out into towards the bottles? nothing! the guy working the booth isn't getting paid enough to deal with this (he is probably only getting like, a nice handy or something after this)

    most, if not all the rings don't find homes. but two of them do.

    his prizes? a kai. a cuilang. both with mostly accurate proportions, though the oni has a very pronounced chest. like. big. ]
    gamegod: i don't have any tips for you i'm just telling you a fact (public speaking is actually really easy)

    [That- That's against the rules?! Well, perhaps technically it's not against the rules but it feels against the spirit of the whole thing! Then again, they didn't need to play fair? He's conflicted about this!]

    Fubuki...! [okay, his mind has settled on one thing: he puts his hands on his hips, eyebrows furrowed]

    You mustn't make a mess for the poor clerk. What if you have broken something? What if someone else were trying to make their throw?

    [Was there? No, the presence of two handsome gods was really making all the faceless NPCs decide to just watch from afar. But still.]

    I appreciate your eagerness but be! considerate!
