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!

[laevateinns]

[ honestly, akechi has kind of been going through an extended breakdown over being alive, stuck in a resort, used as some kind of cosmic plaything again-

but he's been pushing it down. it's fine! it's all fine!

...that is until this moon thing. the feeling... it reminds him of the feeling of turning himself psychotic. awful, but also... alluring, somehow. he closes his eyes-

then has hands up steadying him. ]

Let go of me! [ he says hastily, unusually jumpy as he backs up, eyes wild and wide and-

wait. ]

You know me.

[belheir]

[It's not the most unexpected reaction from the other, and he can see how he'd be jumpy in his state, so Kazuya's quick to let go, holding his hands up in placation.

It does take him a moment before he responds, though.]

... Yeah.

[He wonders, is this a situation like Akira's was? It must be. It'll probably only get more jarring for him from here, if he doesn't have his prior memories.]

Minegishi Kazuya. Do you remember anything about me? [Ah, wait-] Actually, hold that thought. We should probably get you inside somewhere first, yeah? You don't look so hot.

[laevateinns]

[ minegishi kazuya... akechi wracks his brain. someone from school? a case? no- he can't place them.

he feels even more wrong-footed.

he hates that.

he brings his arms up to cross them against his chest, coolly surveying the person that seems to know more about him than he does about them. it's not that unusual a thing to take place- most of his fans knew everything he'd ever told journalists about himself, while he didn't even know their name- but this wasn't a fan. ]

I'm afraid I don't. [ he says slowly. but then- inside. he shakes his head. ]

I'm fine. I was simply... enjoying the moonlight.

[belheir]

[He doesn't remember. This will make things a little more complicated then. And the way he says that he was enjoying the moonlight... Something is up. He wonders what it is, then shakes his head, a small frown tugging at his lips.

Probably something to do with sex, knowing this place. Maybe that'd be a little more tolerable if Akechi at least remembered him, but he very clearly doesn't.]

Enjoying the moonlight, huh?

[The full moon, with it's ominous pink glow being cast everywhere. Sure. That's what he was doing.]

Well... We were close. [Kazuya would have liked to believe they had been friends! Unfortunately, the friendship bar for him is so low you can't even trip over it.] Do you have any clue what this place is like? You have to have seen some of the stuff going on, right?

[Like. The orgies in the lake. Or in the woods. Or in the tents... So on, so forth.]

[laevateinns]

[ he doesn't remember a thing. and... he almost feels bad about it? this guy seems upset. but, again, not in the upset way a fan would be... akechi shifts his feet, still observing him coolly, but with a newfound interest.

he can't help but laugh, though. ]

Close. [ that's... hard for him to imagine. thankfully, there's a distraction ready in the form of the next question! his laughter grows. ]

Oh, yes. I tried to take a shower this morning and felt like I was in some form of porn.

[ the orgies in the showers... the lakes... the tents... everywhere, sure have given him an idea. ]

[belheir]

Ah.. Yeah, you're going to have to get used to that. It's really, really common practice around here, unfortunately.

[And personally... He does not much care for seeing other people have sex. In fact, he'd rather not.]

How much do you know about this place? I can help fill in some of the gaps for you, or answer any questions you might have.

[... He offers his hand to Akechi, mostly without thinking. Is he still feeling bad? Or has whatever initially effected him gone away?]

[laevateinns]

[ akechi lets out a thoughtful, if annoyed noise at that. he can't say he's looking forward to having to see it, either; he might be open-minded about sex in general, as the son of a prostitute, but... he's seen enough powerful people having sex or something close enough to it in public to have had his fill of that.

and now here, where it seems like... everyone is just doing it.

is that better, or worse?

he's broken from his musings by the hand, though. he's still unsure about all of this... but if this person says they were close, the very least akechi can do is use that as needed.

he reaches his own hand back, shaking them. ]

I suppose saying it's nice to meet you may be redundant. [ as for how he's feeling... he still feels that pull of the moonlight. in fact, it takes him a little longer to answer the other question because of it. ]

Hmm? [ oh, right. ] When will this... "camping" be over, again?

[belheir]

Probably a few weeks? That's usually how long it takes for the resort to get itself back together after the excursions it likes to send us on.

[Did Akechi think that Kazuya just wanted to shake his hand? Unfortunate for him, because Kazuya doesn't let go at all, after that. Instead he gives his hand a light tug, in a bid to get them elsewhere, hopefully.]

I'm not sure what rank they'll assign you, but if it ends up being low... Well, you're welcome to crash at my suite until you rank up.

[laevateinns]

I suppose I shall have to wait to see if this... "hotel" is any better, then.

[ he has to believe it is. oh god, he has to believe it. it's not like akechi's not used to roughing it; he may have never been camping, but he's been poor and lived in foster homes and things, so it's not like he's a total spoiled brat- but. but. he's gotten used to a certain quality of living in some cases.

like having nice moisturizer for his face, for example.

but for now... he realizes with a start that this boy still has not let go of his hand. the hell? akechi's fingers twitch, unused to such prolonged contact.

the boy had said they were close... was this what close meant? man, how hard had akechi fooled him that he's leading him around by the hand?

...he should go with it for now, for the sake of information, but... his hand twitches again. he tries to focus on what's being said. ]

Ah. I wouldn't want to intrude, though I appreciate the offer. [ old niceties flow easily, even though- how had akechi acted with this guy? his head is spinning- ] Is yours nice, then?

[belheir]

The food is good, if you know where to go for it to be "safe".

[Said completely with air quotations from one hand. Mostly because he's still leading Akechi by the other.]

Red Cardinal, that's the name of the place that doesn't serve laced food at all. You should get a few meal vouchers for there, since you're "new" again. Be wary of any other place serving food, since it could be laced with aphrodisiacs.

[Best to warn him now, before he lands himself in a situation.]

And I'm a King rank here, so the resort gives me pretty much whatever I want, at the highest quality. I've got my own private onsen in my suite. You wouldn't be imposing at all, so long as you give a heads up.

[laevateinns]

Aphrodisiacs... [ he repeats, disbelieving. it's not that he's... disbelieving of such things being used. no, just... the casual way it's all being spoken about.

but then it makes sense- this guy is a high ranking person here.

akechi's hand twitches again.

as a rule... he tends not to trust people like that. there's about a million different thoughts and emotions running through his head, and-

that moonlight is sounding more alluring by the second. ]

A private onsen... [ he parrots. ] I suppose you're truly living it up here, hmm?

[belheir]

Something like that.

[While he can see the obvious benefits to being his rank... It's not as if there aren't any downsides. His fanclub would have to be one of the bigger ones...]

Ah.. I've got my own kitchen too. If you ever want anything in particular, and don't wanna pay at the Red Cardinal, feel free to ask me! I like cooking for friends, so...

[laevateinns]

[ "friends." somehow, when he puts it like that...

god. does he even have the right guy? akechi doesn't have friends. he doesn't do friends.

this is all, so... as if his mind wasn't reeeling from everything else, now this. he doesn't know what to do with any of it other than allow himself to be pulled along for now. ]

I'm afraid the most I can do is microwave a meal. [ he'll admit honestly. ]

[belheir]

[Eventually, he'll just come to learn that Kazuya's definition of friends is entirely circumstantial... One good encounter with someone, forced or false or otherwise, and he's attached.

It's kind of pathetic, really.

But he keeps gently pulling Akechi along, looking to make it back to his much more glamourous tent before whatever is going on reaches it's peak.]

Maybe I could teach you a few simple meals, if you want? Not here, obviously, but when the resort is back to normal. I've got the same ingredients that everyone else does here... Which is to say, whatever is foraged or caught.

[laevateinns]

[ ah, one of those... still baffling, but in a different way.

for now he allows himself to be led to the glamorous tent, listening. ]

I've never had the need to learn. [ he lies stifly. it's just, pathetic in his own way: akechi can't see most kindness for what it is instead of pity. ] But when the place is back to normal I suppose there's always the other food you mentioned, as well.

[ then he catches sight of the more glamorous tent, and... squints at it suspiciously. ]

[belheir]

It's a good thing to learn, in my opinion! Especially here, where there's a lot of iffy food around...

[And if you have the chance to make it yourself, free of aphrodisiacs being slipped into it... Well, it just seems like the smarter option, to him.

Anyway, he'll happily lead Akechi into his tent, holding the flap open for him to see... Well, first of all, an actual bed. A TV. A nice, cozy heater that's keeping the inside warm nicely, despite the outside chill.

There's not a single ounce of "Roughing It" present. Truly, Kazuya is Living The Dream.]

Are you hungry now? I can make something... You didn't look too good earlier. Have you eaten yet tonight?

[laevateinns]

[ god, what the fuck is this place? akechi eyes it all warily, eyes falling on the television. how even-

then they fall onto the bed. ]

Hmm. You didn't bring me here for that, did you? [ he asks, suddenly raising an eyebrow. ]

[belheir]

Well, not really.

[He lets go of Akechi's hand, but still moves over towards the small camping stove and the supplies he has. It's really nothing crazy, even by glamping standards, but-]

But since you looked kinda out of it, and since I don't really eat food like this to begin with, it's probably better off going to you than me, right?

[Akechi's insinuation? Gone right over Kazuya's head.]

[laevateinns]

[ ah. good.

akechi relaxes just a little bit, even as he glances over the food.

…he is a bit hungry… ]

They send it even if you don’t eat it? [ he asks, disgusted. ]

[belheir]

Yeah. But at least it's pretty useful when it comes to providing for the people I care about, so it's not so bad.

[ And sometimes he'll eat it! If the mood strikes him, or if he's just spending time with others. Eating together with someone is a good way to get to know them and spend time together, right?

That's what he thinks as he finishes setting the camping stove up to heat the meal.

It's not really anything better than a bog standard TV dinner. Some fried chicken and veggies. ]

You can make yourself comfortable, by the way. It's gonna be a couple of minutes, so take a small rest if you need it.

[laevateinns]

[ god. of course it isn't. that kind of attitude... it reminds akechi of some people, and he turns his head to look around so he can roll his eyes.

he just nods.

he sure won't be making himself comfortable. he's gonna snoop around completely shamelessly, actually! he's inspecting the quality of the tent material when it suddenly hits him again. that... feeling. that crawling in his own skin.

it's... strange. the moon can't hit him out here, but he can still feel it, can't he?

he looks up, a strange look on his face.

...a moment later there's an odd sound coming from his throat. is that- a growl? ]

[belheir]

[ He can snoop to his hearts content. Kazuya hasn't exactly spent any time personalizing it, so other than a spare set of clothes tucked away, the tent is pretty much as standard as all of the other lavish high ranking ones.

And the growl that comes from Akechi? Kazuya only pauses to look at him with a raised eyebrow. ]

Your tent that bad? [... ] Who am I kidding, of course it is.

[laevateinns]

[ the sound that comes from akechi is not, in fact, a laugh- but another growl. low and depe in his throat, his hands come up to his arms and start scratching at them, his brows furrowed in intense confusion as a million different emotions flitter across his face.

it takes a second to see- but then: hair, growing at an alarming pace from his arms. his limbs alongating... his teeth growing.

a tail, appearing.

and- it feels so good, just like he knew it would. just like when he first turned his power upon himself and unchained himself, let go- he's been chasing that ever since. he just wants to let go.

he growls again, louder. ]

[belheir]

[ Oh.

Hm.

Kazuya watches the transformation with a frown, not quite frozen in place. It's not fear he feels, not even in the slightest. More of a budding agitation on his own end. Of course this place would pull something with transformations again. Of course he'd be caught up in it, and by Akechi, no less.

Well, that explains why he'd looked so bad out in the moonlight. The cause of it all? Maybe. Needs more data to be sure.

Slowly, he turns the burner off. The last thing he needs is to burn his tent down while Akechi does- something about his new state. If Kazuya had to guess, aith what he knows of this place... ]

Is this how it's gonna be?

[ It's going to be horny. He hates monsters... But Akechi, whether or not he remembers him, has earned a little good will, so Kazuya doesn't immediately leave. ]

Be a good dog. Do not tear up my shit. I'll give you whatever it is you want so long as you don't wreck the place.

[ He still has to sleep here, after all!! A city boy like him is not made for roughing it. ]

[laevateinns]

[ the chillness with which kazuya watches and goes through this truly shows his experience. akechi would be freaking out-

if he didn't feel so amazing.

it's not horny at first- at first it's reveling in feeling so powerful. his senses are heightened, his eyes blinking around and his elongated, canine ears twitching.

then kazuya says something about "good dog" and he turns towards him. his eyes are... normally red anyway, but they're practically glowing.

he growls again, leaning forward... to press his snout right into kazuya's chest.

he sniffs. ]
