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 EQUAL

► High-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 TURNS

► Along 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!

[Part of Ain wonders if this man is A Demon because he looks like The Subrace Of Demons That Are Furries, but honestly, he doesn't feel like asking. Weird what hot guys do to his brain.

He reaches out immediately to squish the biceps, one in both hands, and giggles.]

Wooowww~.

[And now he's just. Clinging onto Hung's arm. Sorry bud.]

What's your workout routine?

[defendog]

[ hey, he doesn't mind in the slightest... it's all a compliment. right? ]

I guess I don't really have a routine. I just do whatever job comes my way.

[ which makes life a lot more interesting! he'd also call his random appearances at this resort a few times interesting, though they also usually ended with him getting some kind of affection from someone familiar or not.

but he'll raise his arm and see if he can get ain off the ground a little, despite being roughly the same height. ]

[eidxiety]

Wow, you must work very hard j— [and then yeah, Ain (who weighs about two feathers) (okay 160lbs but two feathers) gets Lifted. Yoinked, even.] —Haha!!

[He was not expecting this somehow. Ain is a leggy bitch, and rarely is a man not only strong enough to lift him, but also with one arm?? Yeah, this is the best day of his life, thanks.]

If I hang off of you and curl my legs up like this, [like he's on climbing bars, bending his knees and sort of allowing himself to dangle,] is it easier or harder to lift me?

[defendog]

[ a leggy bitch is still a leggy bitch, so even when he does bend his knees to practically hang off of hung's arm, it doesn't really bother him? maybe there's a slight shift so he can keep his balance, but for the most part: ]

About the same. [ still, he can start to feel that familiar burn growing in that arm of his. ] Probably can't do it forever.

[ he huffs! ]

So how about I carry you differently for a bit, huh?

[eidxiety]

Oops, sorry, sorry~.

[Ain will set his feet back on the ground, unscrunch, and stand up proper. He'll even do the next step of letting go of Hung of his own volition! Truly a man that understands boundaries and personal space and isn't, like, totally still standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Hung or anything.]

You can carry me however you want, but don't strain yourself doing it, haha.

[defendog]

[ wow! look at him straighten out... physically. ]

Don't worry about me. I've got a better idea.

[ he kneels down, finding that ain is as leggy as anyone else he knows as he presses his shoulder against his waist. he's careful to not poke him with his horn while he leans forward and begins to stand. this way, he can get him over his shoulder with relative ease.

but again! those legs! he's long... long ain. ]

[eidxiety]

Wheee~!

[This must be what being kidnapped feels like, thinks a man who has never been kidnapped and has only ever read it in books before. Maybe less playful. Okay, WAY less playful. Ain doesn't kick or flail, instead going limp to make himself as easy to cart around as possible.]

Haha, okay, where are we going now? [is there a "carrying people, but sexy" type contest out here too?]

[defendog]

[ this is the nicest kind of kidnapping that hung's ever done before... he's more used to playing that bodyguard type. so it's kind of a mix of both? as he carries ain away from the contest area and towards somewhere a little more quiet, hung keeps his head on a swivel. ]

Don't know. Figure there's probably a few isolated places to rest. My muscles are pretty sore after all that chopping.

[ which once they get to a clearing that looks like an empty fire pit and a few blankets, along with logs to sit on. ]

Mind giving them a rub?

[eidxiety]

[Whenever Ain is set back down, he'll bounce right over to Hung and have him sit or lay down. His choice.]

I don't mind. I'm pretty good at massages, at least, I'd like to think I am.

[No one has told him he's bad at them, and he's a healer! Surely that means he's good at muscle relief. As soon as Hung is in place and ready, Ain gently starts to massage his fingertips into the sore spots on his upper back, humming a tune as he goes about it. It's actually surprisingly professional, for a guy who learned all his medicine in the field and otherwise has no actual schooling under his belt.]

I'm going to start with your upper shoulders, and then do your deltoids, and then down from there. Any complaints?

[defendog]

[ he opts to lie down instead of staying seated. why? because his tail can be free, of course! it's probably easier for ain to get his hands anywhere he wants to put them too, though he'll have to work through a little bit of fur to get to those muscles. at the very least they're still defined easily through all of it. easy to see where the fur rises and falls based on how bulky those arms of his are... ]

Well, I guess I prefer confidence over anything else. Even inexperience!

[ it helps that ain seems so... friendly. charming? some people are just nice without trying to be. he'd like to think this man is that way. ]

No, not at all. Actually--- how far down do you think you'll go?

[eidxiety]

[Ain is "teehee, heehee". So yeah. Nice, but also here to play.]

Oh, uh, it would be rude to touch your tail, wouldn't it be? [Honestly, he didn't think about it.] If you want me to go all the way down to your calves, I can~. I was going to keep it above the belt, but I don't mind. You're the one getting the massage.

[Self-indulgently, Ain thinks that Hung's muscles are just... nice. They're just nice, dammit, this man is soft yet firm and Nice.]

[defendog]

Not really. As long as you don't pull on it.

[ he can't think of anything more uncomfortable than his sensitive tail getting tugged, either the entire length or any individual hair. hung still figures that this guy probably won't take advantage of him. he was utterly enthralled by his muscles, he wouldn't want to hurt him. right? ]

But you're responsible for anything you touch.

[ surely he won't... gasp... do anything inappropriate at the funny sex-themed resort! ]

[eidxiety]

[Ain at least recognizes Common Tail Courtesy so yeah, no tugging tails here. He's actually very careful around it when he gets down to Hung's lower back just in case. It's a cute tail though, he must say.

He pushes his palms firmly against the muscles and up. If Hung's back cracks, that just means it's working.]

Hehe, I'll be careful~.

[Surely he would never do anything! at the sex-themed resort! where they put fake dicks all over the place!

...

Touches the butt.]

[defendog]

[ the fake dicks are everywhere and serve a reminder that real ones also exist, ready to be touched or stroked or whatever. despite having been at this resort a few times already his hasn't really been bothered... it's been mostly kissing for this perro. he's been a good boy!

he feels one of his vertebra crack loudly and some tension in his back release. wow. ain's an expert? it would be nice to have someone around who could just make his life a little easier every day. he lifts a heavy shield most of the time and when he's not doing that, he's got to worry about having an equally weighty and girthy--- ]

Ah...

[ well, his butt has been touched and he. um. wiggles his hips. ]

... go on.

[eidxiety]

Haha, sorry, sorry~. I just wanted to see!

[Is he sorry, though... is he... (he is not, sources say).

But, hey, glute massages are a thing! Ain hasn't exactly given one before, he usually keeps his hands to himself back home, but he supposes it wouldn't hurt to try here. He'll use his fingertips, then, to give that ass a nice massage. It's, uh, less massage-y and more "feel him up" but hey. Hung did say to continue!]

[defendog]

[ that's true! he's never had a butt massage before but he'll surely be thinking of them now... as long as he's here. hung's ass slowly begins to rise because of the feeling of hands rubbing through the tissue to get to the muscle and not because of what might happen because of the massage itself.

he's like a jack right now... ]

Huh. You've got stronger hands than I thought.

[ now his tail activates again, with long swishes to follow. ]
