【 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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

—ᴏᴠᴇʀsɪᴢᴇ
But there's gotta be at least one familiar one.
It would be easy, he thinks, to scour the camp for him. To run around, peering into tents, peeking around trees, ducking his head in the lake, all just to catch a glimpse of those long legs, or that white head of hair. Even as he listens with senses that shouldn't be his, there's too much noise to filter past, but some part of himself is determined to believe that he couldn't be here. And so? The first step... is preparing.
He spends the next chunk of time doing just that. The fire pit is the key location for all of his prep, where he quickly sweet talks his way into enough set up space to begin creating his masterpiece. Graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, more chocolate, more graham crackers, more marshmallows— he stacks his s'more so high that it's about the size of his own face before he considers it completed. And then, setting it atop his paper plate, he sets on his mission: find the man in question!
Turns out, it doesn't take long. Could it be... fate? Or maybe he just toasted so many marshmallows it drove whispers to bring the sweets fiend closer? Whatever it is, Zelos spots him from across the campsite, and cups one hand to his mouth to call as loudly and drawn out as possible. )
SAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOORUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
( Nobody else liked that. But that's fine; Zelos is busy trying to see if Gojo is going to approach him, or if he's going to have to take this mega s'more on a little run. )
no subject
there's little reason for him to go elsewhere, except for the fact that his tent reminds him of the sheer loneliness of his suite--large, overbearing, the kind of glorious displays of wealth and privilege that would have been obvious, back home, as the heir to the gojou clan. in contrast, escaping out into the chilly night air feels more freeing; even if the sky above them isn't real, some generated hoax of the resort, even if all the trees will disappear soon enough, at least it's here for now--little firepits and chairs dot the shores near the edge of the lake, and he's taken to wandering down there, listening in idly on conversations and laughter and skinny dipping threats out into the cold water.
granted--even with the six eyes, even with all of his techniques intact, he still doesn't expect to hear his name.
it's loud, an echoing, shrill yelp that stirs up some of the birds in the trees, stills some of the nearby conversations--who the hell was that grouses some guy sitting at a nearby fire pit, hugging his girl in close, and a roar of drunk laughter starts from another fire, as though they seem to take the yelling with good cheer. pointedly, he's squinting past his sunglasses, trying to locate the sound of the voice, because--
well, but it couldn't be him. zelos has been gone for a long time, even if he hadn't been able to locate his statue.
but barreling across the grass towards him, holding a monstrously large wad of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crackers, is someone who all of his senses and all of his eyes says is zelos--enough that he whips his sunglasses off to crunch them into his palm, like something must be lying to him. his heart rabbits around wildly in his chest, jittery and pleased. )
NUH UH, NO!! ( he yells back, loudly, stuffing his sunglasses into the front pocket of his sweatshirt--his other arm jerks out, pointing an offending finger towards zelos even as he starts to clear the space between them, full of playfully fabricated defensive hurt. )
You LEFT me, you don't get to make up for it now!
( apparently he intends to put on quite the break-up show for everyone nearby. )
no subject
( Just as always, Gojo falls right into line with his shenanigans, huh. It brings a fleeting warmth past the icy, chilling thoughts of just how long he'd been gone. The realization of it, when he'd first woken up, had been almost too much. Crushing, lonely, certain that no one would remember him, no one would have missed him, no one would have noticed. That the one thing he'd spent his whole life thinking about would be proven right, right then and there.
But Gojo is breaking through that, even with that showy rejection. He knows the group back home would be pissed, if he pulled this kind of stunt— they'd turn it all serious, criticize him, call him careless and cruel. But Gojo seems to get it, he thinks; he seems to get that it's easier to deal with intense emotions through something of a buffer, first. It means he can focus on the crunch of soil beneath his feet as he runs, the breeze beneath his silly little gingham robe as he runs. Physical things to ground him so he doesn't have to focus too long on how he just hopes others were checking on Gojo this whole time, that he wasn't alone. )
Don't be so cold now, huuuunnyyyyy!
( He's coming closer, but his attention snaps to a mutter off to the side about how he must be some lying cheater, and lets out an exasperated sigh. At this volume, it's kind of like a little yell. )
Ahhhh, stop making me look bad! I'm innocent, I swear! I didn't leave, I was kidnapped, stolen away, held back!
( And with his feet finally carrying him close enough, he pulls into a dramatic bow of apology, plate of s'mores held out in outstretched hands, insistent. )
I made this just for you! ( And in one last peek of his eyes up and over that plate, he tries to meet Gojo's, tries to resist the urge to just tackle him here and now. It would ruin the s'mores. ) Unless... you don't want this Ultra Big Mega Super Snacker S'mores Sandwich?
( He named it. )
no subject
he listens, standing there, and it's close enough that he could easily swat that plate to the ground and put his arms up around zelos' neck in relief; he breathes behind his hand, spreading long fingers so that one pointed blue eye can stare out at him from behind his self-made mask. )
You know, it's cheating to offer me chocolate and think that I can have morals or whatever.
( with a dramatic sigh, steeling himself, he lets his hand drop down away from his face--and he takes a step forward, but only so that he can stretch an arm out and graze his fingertips along the plate's edge, hooking up a bit of spilled, melted marshmallow off the side.
matter-of-factly, he pops that finger right back into his own mouth, considering. )
Did you miss me?
( there's a loud gasp from one of the fire pits nearby--and from another, a guy yells out, say you did! it's a test! )
no subject
Of course I missed you.
( Serious, and lower in tone, it's a clear difference from the over-exaggerated yelling and whining he usually gets up to. Someone gasps, from their little audience, a loud and dramatic sound that cuts through the brief silence.
But, it wouldn't be Zelos if he could keep that up for too long, of course— the raw emotion feels too vulnerable in his chest, and he's too much of a coward to face it head on without any interruption. So, he chances a step forward and a half turn, free arm looping itself around Gojo's waist in an insistent tug to plant them side by side, s'mores still held out in front of the both of them, a shiny temptation. )
Just like youuuu missed the Great Zelos Wilder, right? Right? ( Cheery, upbeat, and overly loud, he leans in closer. And closer. Face practically smooshing against Gojo's, even if he has to lift onto his tip-toes for it. )
You know what they say about that, don't you? If you missed me, you gotta kiss me!
( That's not a— oh, he's already doing big dramatic kissy faces towards Gojo's cheek, as loudly as possible. Truly a clown. )
no subject
is he slipping? is he letting people get too close? he can't say he dislikes it, the way zelos feels warm against him, and the promise of sweets in front of him--
fine, fine, he's got him. with a dramatic sigh, he tilts his head to the other side as though to avoid the dramatic kissy faces being jerked up towards him. )
I missed the chocolate more. ( loudly, but it's obviously a tease--he's grinning, anyway, one arm lifting so that it can drape across zelos' shoulders, making it easier to stand there; the other hand is trying to break off a piece of the giant smore, and struggling. )
I'll kiss you tonight. You know, when you're sleeping in my tent.
( finally, at least, he gets a piece of graham cracker and gooey chocolate: close enough. he pops it into his mouth. )
no subject
( Playfully, cheerily, he shouts his joy as such, and a few of the onlookers have their own reactions to how the scene has played out. Some of them he can hear going aww, others are a bit upset they didn't get to witness a bigger fight. But either way, Zelos seems satisfied with their input on this little show of his and Gojo's, and now he can focus entirely on the man before him.
As that overly cheery smile fades back down to something more normal, there's a fondness in his eyes as he watches him eat a piece of this mess of a s'more. One more squeeze at Gojo's hip shows his pleasure, reinforces that he meant his words even with how over the top they were, and he laughs a little lighter as he tries to foist the plate off entirely to Gojo now. Take this, it's so much sugar. )
You're looking good as always. ( He doesn't seem to want to move away, not unless he's encouraged to, so he'll stay just like this for now, head tilting to look at Gojo's face a little better. ) So, who else am I going to have to chase outta this tent of yours?
( He's teasing, mostly, even if he does want the attention— mostly it's his way of trying to make sure Gojo hasn't been alone. )
no subject
that would be unattractive, and he doesn't really want to be smearing chocolate and graham cracker crumbs all over himself when zelos is staring at him, almost intently.
weirdly, it makes him feel a little shy--his nose wrinkles up, bemused, and there's a careless shrug, as though the question isn't worth answering. )
Just my dirty underwear. ( teasing, as he nabs another small piece of melted gooey chocolate and marshmallow, popping it into his mouth. )
Did you really think you'd show up and I'd be married, or something~? You know how it is, here.
no subject
( View, he says, and doesn't elaborate. Instead, now that he's freed of his chocolatey weight, he moves in a step to wrap both arms around Gojo, this time about his shoulders. He's a little cold to the touch, notably, but he's still Zelos. )
What a relief! I thought I was gonna get left behind... ( The way he sighs that out is comically exaggerated, his obnoxious voice rising and falling and drawing out almost musically whenever possible. Because things like that help hold back the line of truth behind the over-the-top comments, genuine worry. )
I was so loooonelyyyyy, Satoruuuu... ( He whines, hanging his weight around him even more. Enough to be obnoxious, to potentially throw him off enjoying his little s'mores creation there— temporarily, of course. )
