【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

We are thrilled to announce that the Golden Peacock will be embracing autumn with a special outing. Current and new guests are invited to join us for a refreshing outdoor experience where participants can unplug, unwind, and connect with nature. During this time, all Watches will be disabled to the most basic functions (texting, calls, checking chip account) in order to encourage guests to disconnect.

Please look forward to two weeks of finding yourself amongst the trees. We hope you enjoy your stay, and have a fan-CAMP-stic time. 】



CAMPING
GETTING OFF THE GRID
As the resort moves into what it claims is autumn, the days grow shorter. The projected sun in the Vale sets in the afternoon, after which a faint chill falls. Then there’s the most excessive transformation of all – a portion of the Vale has transformed into a campground complete with a scenic lake, seemingly overnight. Statues nearby have been dressed up with flannel jackets and suspenders. Folksy banjo fills the air without any discernible source.

A section of the campgrounds have been reserved for tents. These tents vary in size, shape, and supplies. All tents, regardless of quality, are supplied with sex toys and lube. Staff and long-standing guests all agree — pretending to live in the wilderness and 'rough it' for a while is thrilling. This is what the peasants feel like all the time!
NOT ALL TENTS ARE EQUALHigh-rank guests are allocated spacious and luxurious tents. These elaborate mini-homes come with TVs, beds, heaters, and plenty of supplies. Provided camping gear is high quality, ranging from state of the art flashlights to designer backpacks. It can't quite be considered roughing it in these tents, but glamping is camping too!

Mid-rank guests are allocated moderate tents that comfortably fit up to three guests. These tents come with cots or sleeping bags, as well as standard camping gear to make their time living off the land fairly comfortable. While these tents lack the bells and whistles of the high-rank accommodations, they are more than enough for a comfortable but realistic camping experience.

Low-rank guests are allocated the shabbiest tents. These sagging accommodations can shield one guest comfortably, but that doesn't stop staff from pairing low-ranking guests together in order to save space. Their 'sleeping bags' are a single blanket and hay bale pillow. There are no other included amenities aside from sex toys and a single lantern.

► Last but certainly not least: our Wildcards! All Wildcards have been randomly assigned. Whether they end up in a glamping tent or sleeping beneath a propped up sheet is left to chance. Wildcards also may find themselves waking up beside a current guest or another new arrival.

► Guests that "go camping" will discover that the door connecting the Vale to the rest of the resort has mysteriously vanished. Uh oh! Looks like there's no going back to the comfortable life anytime soon. Don't worry, the door will return when it's time to pack up and head home.
LET'S GET CRAFTY ► New characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are flannel gingham to embrace camping and autumn aesthetic. Some of these robes are much shorter than others; watch out that the lake breeze doesn’t reveal more than you wanted.

► Unlike the standard, there are no racks of clothes waiting for new arrivals outside of their tents. You're roughing it out in the woods, remember? Instead of clothing, Wildcards will find an assortment of raw materials to make clothes.

Fabric rolls, hemp, buckets of leaves, leather, and other assorted goods are waiting to be cobbled into something new. The staff have been kind enough to leave some small hunting knives and wooden needles to make crafting a bit easier. Of course, they won't stop anyone that wants to embrace the wild side and strut around naked.
HOME ON THE RANGE
Welcome to the Peacock Campgrounds! Nicknamed the Stomping Grounds by long-standing guests. Rustic and right off a sparkling lake, guests will find everything they need to live in the wilderness. Staff have expertly set up fire pits, benches, hammocks, and a wooden shed to act as a tool depository. There's even an outhouse, which is a real novelty to many of the long-standing guests. Do they just... squat over that hole and do their business? How wild!

Unlike previous resort-sponsored excursions, guests are expected to manage without the help of staff. That pile of wood won't be replenished once used; guests will have to go chop down trees and split their own. Food won't magically appear in their tents regardless of rank. Camping is all about living off the land. Though staff make themselves scarce to make the experience feel real, they lurk in the shadows, discreetly providing necessary tools and fixing broken equipment so guests won't struggle too much. It isn't fun if it's real hardship, after all!
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO COOK?On the first camp morning, guests will find barrels of ingredients and cooking utensils left beside the central fire pit. These barrels are stocked with fruits and vegetables that won't spoil quickly, many of which are seasonal to autumn. They have also been left a few protein options like eggs, jerky, and canned ham. These ingredients are communal and limited. Once they run out, guests will have to hunt and gather in the Vale to collect more.

Guests must prepare their own meals while camping. Not even the high-ranks are given any special treatment on this! While oil and firestarter are included in the initial supply, these too are limited and won't be replenished after use.

► Staff would never let their precious guests go without a sweet treat. A generous supply of hot cocoa and all the fixings for s'mores has been left behind as well. While none of the other food will be replenished, the hot cocoa and s'mores goodies seemingly never run out. A night around a campfire without roasting marshmallows or sipping cocoa would be too cruel to subject guests to.
SUPPLIES RUNNING LOW ► Guests will have to hunt and gather once ingredients dwindle if they want to eat. The wooden shed is home to a selection of tools that can be used to hunt: bows and arrows, hatchets, axes, fishing poles and line, etc. All tools are rudimentary and can break if not taken care of.

► The Vale is lush with wild fruits and vegetables. However, much like in reality, not all vegetation in the Vale is safe to eat. While some berries and mushrooms are consumable, others are toxic or psychedelics. One must also not forget that they're in the Golden Peacock: some unusual plants that grow in the vale may trigger arousal. Watch out that you don't eat something funky by accident!

► Before 'leaving', staff will explain that guests can fish or hunt small game running throughout the Vale. One particularly enthusiastic staff member will suggest guests track down the snoggleboffs, as they're extremely delicious after roasting on an open fire.


ACTIVITIES
TWO WEEKS OF ROUGHING IT
Camping can't be all about survival. Where's the fun in that? Before 'leaving', the staff arrange activities and events for guests to enjoy. A wooden bulletin board outlines times for group hikes, camping experiences, and wilderness delights. Adirondack chairs line the edge of the lake and a few tire swings hang over the water, tied to strong tree branches. For the first week and a half the weather is pleasant and sunny. Perfect for camping.

At night, acoustic guitars and other wooden instruments come out so that guests can make music around the bonfire. Projected stars dapple the night sky, forming various constellations sourced from guest worlds. The moon enters a different phase each night, shining a gentle silver across the campgrounds. Why not pull your sweetheart in and cuddle beneath the night sky? It's so romantic.
IN CAMP ► Guests that don't want a cold shower should make their way over to the shower stalls quickly. These outdoor showers hold very little hot water and run cold after about five minutes. First-come first-serve!

► A wood-chopping competition begins around lunchtime. There are two goals: to split as much wood as possible and looking sexy while doing it. Guests that chop wood unsexily immediately fail! Alternatively, sexiness with a pathetic number of chunks is more acceptable, but still a loss. Those that achieve both goals will instantly win a large payout. Failing to sexily cut wood won’t have any penalties associated with it, and you can always try again tomorrow!

Bear hunting is a popular activity that even the spoiled long-standing guests are getting in on! No, not hunting real bears. That would be insane. Peacock's version of bear hunting involves hunting down bear-like guests and capturing them! Any guest that fits the criteria of big, thick, and strong may potentially be assigned the role of bear. Hunters who manage to tie up, handcuff, net, or otherwise 'capture' a 'bear' will instantly receive a large payout.
THE LAKE ► This sparkling lake is rich with fish. Enjoy sitting back on the long pier with a fishing rod or take one of the wooden boats out for a row around the lake. It's also safe to swim in, for guests that would like to take a dip and rinse off the sweat of camp living! Don't mind the random swim trunks or drink umbrellas that pop up now and then. This water is definitely fresh and not recycled from the summer beach extravaganza.

► Guests that do decide to take a dip may encounter a familiar friend. Fernando the tentacle monster is camping too! This randy tentacle monster is as horny as ever, eager to embrace guests and stick slippery tentacles into any reachable orifice.

► Once the sun goes down, many of the long-standing guests strip off their shoddily crafted clothes and sprint into the water for skinny dipping by moonlight! What's a camping excursion without a lake-side orgy? The best way to drown out those erotic moans from the lake is to head to the central fire pit and join in on some campfire songs.
OUTSIDE CAMP ► Those that head out of camp for a hike or hunt can enjoy any of the Vale's usual wonders. With autumn, shiny apples dangle from the trees and pumpkins pepper beneath their protruding roots. Along with autumnal fruits and vegetables, canned beef and ham have been mysteriously left in pockets close to the campgrounds. A little act of kindness from the staff; not everyone is cut out to hunt their own game!

► For those interested in hunting down some fresh game, walking around the forest in the morning may come with a stroke of luck. Strange little creatures the size of an adult's fist are active during this time. These hairy beasts come in brown and white, and screech, "Scrun scrun screeee!" when agitated.

Yes, these are the alleged snoggleboffs! Don't feel bad about hunting them, they're an invasive species that are unfriendly and eager to steal from unsuspecting guests. Their main strength is their speed, but once caught, they don't put up much of a fight.

► Guests that explore deep into the Vale may find a dark cave mouth that leads downward into a damp chamber. The ceiling glitters with stalactites and, along the wall, they'll find a horizontal crease with what seems to be... hair? If touched, this crease will creak open, revealing a large eye that darts back and forth before focusing on whoever woke it. Black pupils and iris bleed into one endless abyss.

Those that gaze directly into the eye will freeze. Their mind will remain active while their body locks in place, not unlike sleep paralysis. This trance will break once the eye blinks, which it will do after some time... but it can also be forced into blinking by force if there's someone who hasn't made eye-contact around to help. Frozen guests will be overwhelmed with the fear of abandonment for the duration of their paralysis. This fear will fade after the connection is broken, as if it wasn't their fear at all.

Like a regular eye, dirt or debris can force a blink. If this route is taken, the eye will go bloodshot and shut, refusing to open again. Any guest that inflicts damage to the eye may find that their suite, upon return, has been trashed. As if someone or something threw a big tantrum in there while they were gone. Wonder why that happened...?


HOWLING
CALL OF THE WILD
Temperatures drop drastically at night as the camping excursion nears its end. Nights become so chilly that morning dew frosts over, crunching beneath guest feet. Every day the light and its warmth set a little bit earlier. Staff remain elusive and do not provide warmer blankets or clothes for guests, leaving them to cuddle for warmth or find other ways to sleep comfortably during nightly cold snaps.

The moon hits its apex on the final night of camping. Unlike the other nights, this full moon shines blood red. The Vale stills under this ominous sign, silent. Snowflakes begins to fall, spreading an endless clean sheet across the campgrounds. That reflected pink hue is inescapable.
THE WEATHER TURNSAlong with chilly nights, the last few days of camping feature inclement weather conditions. Clouds overtake the sun and rain falls, alternating between light mist and heavy downpour.

Winds pick up, with speeds threatening to whip away the less stable tents. Guests that don't hunker down and add additional support to their tents may end up chasing them into the storm. Other loose items around the campgrounds may end up blown away as well.
BLOOD MOON ► Wild instinct rises with the blood moon. As crimson moonlight beckons, some guests may begin to feel ... strange. As if they need to claw their true selves free. Those that answer the call to bathe in the light of the blood moon will undergo a transformation.

► Basking in the light of the blood moon triggers a were-transformation. While the standard were that the blood moon inspires is the classic werewolf, guests may transform into any kind of were. Along with hybrid transformation, the blood moon stirs mating and sex impulses in these new weres. Remaining humans are at risk of being eaten... in the sexy way.

Transformation into a were is not mandatory. Other guests may step into the blood moon's light and not experience any kind of transformation or impulse. These guests are now actors in a sexy horror scene, given the task of surviving the night surrounded by monsters! At least they're sexy monsters? Giving in and fucking on the wild side may be more fun.
PACKING UP ► After the crazy weather and horny werewolves, the staff judge that it's high time to wrap this excursion up. Guests will once again openly see these diligent workers the morning after the blood moon. They come flooding into the site with clothing, snacks, and other comforts while praising everyone for surviving for so long without the resort's usual luxuries.

► A first aid tent and cleaning station are swiftly erected. All guests that volunteer to treat injuries sustained over the course of the camping experience or help clean up the site will be compensated with a large payout.

Every guest that participated in the camping event, regardless of whether they help wrap things up, will be issued a spa voucher. Go relax, you've earned some pampering after all of that hard living!

marcille donato / delicious in dungeon / new player

[personal profile] picky 2025-09-16 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
⛺️ i. save her
[ wherever you're approaching from, some sex toys and a few bottles of lube will be littered in random spots within the woods. it's almost like someone had chucked them from their tent far into the unknown, hoping they could never possibly find their way back to their original location. (you can even be clocked in the head with one, if you want!)

if someone decides to follow the trail of necessities, they'll eventually be lead to the tent area where the newbies are. a girl with long ears, a long yellow braid, and a scandalously short, flannel robe sitting on her knees in the dirt. scraps of fabric are scattered around two large cuts of cloth, like she had very quickly hacked them into a uniform (?) shape. a closer look reveals that at this moment, she's frantically sharpening a wooden needle with one of the hunting knives.

suddenly marcille whips her head around to look at whoever's approaching, tears spraying from her eyes in a perfect arc. finally facing her, one can see that her hair is fraying from its once-perfect braid, her hands are balled into fists, and her eyes are bloodshot and puffy.

more fat tears roll down her cheeks as she blinks at this stranger. then she shoots an arm out, points her wooden needle at them, and shouts way too loudly: ]


Don't come any closer!

[ wow so scary. maybe she should have pointed the knife and not the needle. ]
🍳 ii. dungeon food?
[ considerably less scared than when she first arrived, marcille is in a semi-decent dress with capped sleeves, made entirely of denim. it's chilly this morning, so she's wearing her robe as a small coat instead. (it's a much better length for a coat than a robe anyway.)

she's huddled beside a large, decent campfire in the middle of a dirt clearing. on a large cloth beside her is an assortment of cooking tools and washed ingredients, mostly vegetables, a few eggs, and some communal bottles of olive oil and spices.

hungry? mad that she's hoarding food? she's preoccupied with her fire until a stranger approaches, at which point she'll give them an exceedingly wary smile. ]


Uh... Hi. Can I help you?
❤️‍🩹 iii. aftercare
[ who doesn't love subjecting a poor elf to your sex wounds? marcille has offered her health and human services at one of the medical tents. she may have a limited amount of mana, but unless everyone had their limbs sexily severed for some reason, it will take a while to completely deplete.

whoever comes to see her will walk out almost perfectly healed, but there is a big catch to it. it's up to you whether they hear the screams of pain from her tent before her last patient walks out, bleary-eyed but quickly and clearly fully healed.

if they decide to take the risk, they can meet her inside of the tent. she'll be standing near one of the benches and washing her hands in a nearby basin. after flicking the water from her hands, she takes a nearby towel to dry off and gives the patient a tired smile.

not tired (physical). more like tired (mental and emotional). she's not used to treating injuries from sex, and she's accepted that for now, her lot in life is to see more of them. ]


Hi. [ she nods politely. ] I'm Marcille. So, what's been bothering you?
🃏 iv. wildcard.
( bare bones permissions are here! just ask if you're unsure about something. marcille is fifty in canon (elves 🙄), but you can consider her as being in her early twenties. 18+ only for smut! )

( this is already more than he can bear, having to ask for such assistance.

but arjuna sits with hands folded in his lap at first, obedient as the fitting image of a warrior with the patience to persevere through a task as repulsive as having to show his own weakness. it gnaws at him from the inside, unseen by the gentle woman before him waiting for instruction. it stops him from finding his words at first, this trepidation inside him for the humiliation he endured under the hands of someone who was able to take claw and teeth to him so easily.

so he tugs on a glove in an attempt to play it cool at first, completely unperturbed by the screams from where he's sitting before saying: )


I may have an injury that needs healing.

( yeah, no shit. )

[ bro why else are you here...

she's making an effort not to show her thoughts on her face. this person seems so regal on first glance, and that alone commands her respect. she straightens her posture and clears her throat. ]


I see. Where does it hurt, exactly?

[ please don't say your butt or your dick PLEASE ]

( i did NOT pay $3 to make him talk about his dick... unless?

but that would be two of them trying to maintain as much of an air of politeness as possible. )


It feels purely selfish of me to ask you, to... is there not someone else who works at this station? Surely a fair lady like yourself isn't tending to everyone's wounds all on your own?

( or causing those unearthly noises behind the curtain.

but most of all, arjuna knows a hero such as himself should act with discretion, and at most, try to ensure she's able to keep her dignity. )


In any case, the pain is sitting near...

( a hand goes up and hovers for a moment, hesitant. unsure if he should've just bled out instead of applying pressure last minute, the wrapping beneath fabric stinging for how arjuna lightly taps against his inner thigh, once, then twice. but bleeding out after a sexual encounter would've been a disgraceful, humiliating death to begin with, and so this bout of embarrassment is something he just needs to endure. handle it, as it were. )

[personal profile] picky 2025-09-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ 😳?

his concern for her is startling enough. calling her fair lady completely pulls the rug out from beneath her. she covers her mouth and feels heat crawl up to her cheeks. she's a fair lady... just like in her novels....

but she tamps this down as best she can, clearing her throat again (unnecessary). her blush won't last long. this is more important than indulging herself.

even if it's more sex stuff. she withholds her reflex to deflate with a sigh. this person is obviously making an effort to be here despite their own embarrassment, and she won't take a good patient for granted.

she waves her hands defensively and tries to give him a reassuring smile. ]


No, no, no, don't worry about me. I wouldn't be much of a healer if I wasn't used to seeing all parts of the body, you know?

[ it's the deeds that got these injuries in the first place that she had no experience with before this. tentacle monsters... wolves... how did she get here

she lowers her hands and gestures to his lap. ]


My dignity will be fine, but thank you for worrying about me. [ she smiles a little wider. ] I'd like to help you. I know it's asking a lot, but could you show it to me?

[personal profile] lockedon 2025-09-16 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Why the needle and not the knife.......?

Not that he's paying much attention to that after getting beaned in the head by a glittery pink dildo. Scowling, he rubs at his head, the ears on top flattening in annoyance. As if waking up in the middle of the woods dressed in nothing but a skimpy robe wasn't bad enough. ]


Watch where you're throwing those things.

[ Throw another one and he'll throw it right back. ]

kwisses him

[personal profile] picky 2025-09-16 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ because marcille is stressed...

once this scantily-clad man approaches her, her eyes go immediately to those ears flattened on either side of his head. a kobold, but a tall man? someone whose soul was also tangled with a demon's? her head races to fathom him and this impossible situation all at once.

she has to be in a nightmare again. didn't she shake her pillow before she fell asleep?

she keeps pointing this useless needle at him. ]


I'm- I'm sorry I hit you. [ her voice drops a little, showing that she means it. then it rises again. ] But I was panicking! I don't want those things in my tent!

[ Hard to say whether or not the apology's accepted; the scowl on his face stays fixed in place even as he circles around her and the scattered objects and her weird little needle-and-knife combination. Just because he can fight doesn't mean he wants to. ]

They won't hurt you. [ They're inanimate? Please. ] Why are you making a [ gestures at her needle with one hand ] stick anyway when you have a knife?

[ DON'T CIRCLE HER? YOU'RE A WOLF OR SOMETHING? marcille keeps that needle pointed at him.

until he gestures to it, and she dares to look at her hand instead of at him. he's right.

she starts and immediately switches hands to the one holding the hunter's knife. the wooden needle pricks a little into her arm. ]


Ow. [ ignores that in favor of scowling back at him. ] I was sharpening a needle so I could sew some clothes! That's why they left all of this out here, right? These needles aren't sharp enough!

[ HE IS A WOLF, THANKS but also he was just planning on sidestepping around her and heading off to somewhere less filled with annoying women but unfortunately she has to go and start talking about making clothes and he just pauses right where he is to stare are her thoughtfully. ]

I... know a little.

I've only made a few things, but I'll take anything that isn't just this robe!

[ is it misogyny or general misanthropy......either way he sucks

given that he knows shit-all about sewing and tailoring, he can't really grill her on it but he can judge her and in fact looks like he's judging her for it right now. (in reality, he just has the world's worst resting bitch face.)

but he's prepping for the next round of hungry campers when he discovers half of the spices gone, and upon further investigation, the eggs he'd put aside are no where to be found. actually, there's a bunch of stuff that's missing. he squints at the stock briefly before he leaves his makeshift cooking station, walking around the campsite until he comes across marcille with her little horde of ingredients.

there's a visible bob in her throat as she swallows. her eyes stay on him as she turns her head, as if she's resisting looking away, before she glances at her stash on top of her blanket. ]

[ After tripping on strange berries and nauseated by the prevalence of chocolate, the smell of something else cooking draws her in almost immediately. Like some kind of feral cryptid, she emerges from nearby underbrush in her leaf bikini and curls a tangled, frazzled mess. ]

-egg. [ That's all she says at first, but then realizes this is

probably unsettling. So! She straightens up, brushes herself off, gives a small cough and steps forward like a more civilized (albeit still kind of wild) woman.
]

I mean, uh! You have. Eggs. Protein. All I've been able to get are, like, berries and I'm... not the best hunter, so. [ While she wants to ask for some, well- She doesn't even know this woman. And she probably isn't leaving the best first impression. She settles for, after a moment of awkward silence: ]

[ this almost naked woman just emerged from the woods and said egg. marcille stares incredulously at her at first, eyes wide and unblinking—more because this is a sight she'd never expected to see in her life rather than her being a prude.

marcille snaps out of her surprise when the stranger straightens up and starts speaking again. she blinks hard and glances at her pile on her blanket, where three brown eggs sit in a little circle. at the moment, she's roasting some chopped vegetables on a pan, which she removes and carefully sets down on a nearby rock. ]


Oh, uh— There were some baskets left around here. They had some in one of them.

[ she points in the direction of where the (limited) supply of goods was left for the camp, but she lowers her arm almost immediately. her shoulders are hunched protectively, and she still instinctively leans away from any stranger that approaches her, but she can't help looking worried. ]

Aren't you cold?

[ To be fair to Marcille, it's really only the kind of things in movies for Rosie too. This whole situation is actually like something out of a strange fantasy flick, but... She's making the most of it. If it's all a fever dream, then what's the harm? If it's not, she's going to survive and adapt as she always has. ]

There were- Oh my gods, of course there were. [ The blonde puts a palm to her face before dragging it down with a groan. ] I was so focused on, like, getting out there I didn't even think they'd just... provide some basic supplies!

[ A sigh and drop her shoulders as she relaxes a little. ]

I'm not cold though, no. I grew up in a cold place, so I guess I'm just... acclimated? [ They'll go with that. ]

[ it is absolutely not scary. but haru puts her hands up anyway, fixing marcille with a concerned look, and speaks softly ]

Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you.

[ hopefully she isn't too intimidated by a teenage girl... ]

Are you alright?

[ not so much by a teenager, although she would still be wary of any stranger who approaches her. the needle stays pointed, but marcille's mad-looking glower begins to ease a little bit. ]

I'm not worried about being hurt.

[ which sounds weird to say, but it's the truth. her brows furrow, her gaze lowering to fix on the watch on haru's wrist. a blush seeps into her cheeks. ]

That watch told me about this place. What it... wants people to do.

[ she could just say it. ]

That's not what you're here for, right? Because if it is, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested! I have no idea how I even got here!

[ haru doesn't make any moves forward, at least. she keeps standing there with her hands up ]

No, ah, not at all.... [ she frowns at marcille's tear-stained face ]

... I just wanted to see if you were okay. After all, I know how disconcerting it is to end up here.

[Following the trail of the resort’s scattered gifts, Aurelia can’t help but wonder just what exactly she’ll find at the end of it. Especially since she has to duck to let a dildo fly over her head, she can smell the distress from halfway across the vale. She stops respectfully when ordered too, though she doesn’t look anything but mildly amused as she’s threatened with a dull wooden needle. It’s certainly a novel experience for the petite woman staring Marcille down with glowing red eyes.

What really draws her eyes though is the pointed ears poking out of the other woman’s distressed, a match to the ones peeking out of her bone white hair. Another elf? Though she doesn’t quite match what she’d expect from elves in her world, she still finds herself fascinated, it softens her tone to something close to comforting as she calls out.]


Do you need some help with that?

[It's not like she's starving or anything, but goddamn, at some point that smell just starts wafting through the woods and how is a girl supposed to resist?

So don't mind her, Marcille. There's just a human girl poking her head around your tent and staring.]


Wow, that kinda smells delicious. And you just cooked it out here with all this stuff?!

[Rather than assuming it's someone rightfully freaking out, Chobe thinks maybe it's a bear rooting around and tossing shit every which way. And if it is a bear, that means Chobe can kill it and eat it!! Enrichment for immortal plant monsters. So he's following the trail of items, getting increasingly suspicious and confused as he doesn't see any bear tracks. . .only to get bopped on the head by a bottle of lotion.

It doesn't hurt as much as it is annoying, and he's forced to look up from the trail to see. . .well he's not sure what he's looking at. A girl?? What's with her ears? He frowns down at her, cocking his head at the needle.]


What are ya gonna do, sew my mouth shut?
