TDM 011
【 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!

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.

mystery shrooms.....
Ah?
[Intelligently stated. But Shinjiro does shift course to see just what Ferdinand is inspecting and needing a second opinion of, stepping carefully over gnarled roots and fallen branches to reach the tree and the mushrooms he'd been looking at.
Mushrooms.... Always dicey, especially for a city boy like him that has no idea what these even are. He frowns, brows furrowing, clearly a bit concerned at the wisdom of just eating mystery shrooms.]
You seen anything else eat at it? Could feed it to one of those little furry guys... But otherwise, hell no, don't fuck with mushrooms. Best case you're fine, worst you're dead.
[Admittedly, he's fairly sure the resort wouldn't kill them... But it's possible it would poison someone as an excuse for some sort of stupid "I healed you let's fuck about it" roleplay.]
You ain't getting that desperate for food, right? [He knows things are getting low but-- oh wait
]
--Are you looking for the ones that get you high? I heard someone say that they stain kinda blue or something back home
no subject
But he's taken aback at the other suggestion, and his surprise shows on his face. He blinks twice, then quickly shakes his head, turning to face the other man. ]
Ah, no, my apologies if I gave that impression. I would most definitely like to avoid the ones that can cause hallucinations, along with the ones that might be poisonous or that might be... tainted in other ways.
[ In other words, the ones that make people tear each other's clothes off and ravage each other. He's not opposed to a few mood enhancers between consenting adults, but something artificially forcing the chemistry? It doesn't sit well with him. ]
But you have a point. Perhaps fruits and nuts would be safer. I was hoping to practice some improvised cooking, but it very likely is not worth the risk.
no subject
Relax, just making sure. [He holds up a hand in a half-apologetic gesture, as though acknowledging he'd implied that this Upstanding Man Could Possibly Be Uncouth Enough To Want Hallucinogens.]
Nuts might be okay. Fruits maybe if you recognize them? [He's never gone foraging, but if he was scrounging about in a barren kitchen and sorting through possibly expired bullshit, that's sort of the rules he would take? As a joke (though Shinjiro's inflection and tone don't change to really acknowledge that that's what it is,) he'll add the suggestion:]
If there's anyone here you can't stand, you could have them try it, too.
[Improvised cooking, though.... He looks to the side, down at the forest floor. he's not really familiar with where things grow, but...]
There's plenty of edible herbs and leafy things, but they might be in a grassier area. Dandelion or chrysanthemum greens. It's probably too late in the year for green onions, but you might be able to find something like that.
no subject
Well, I suppose it is not really in the interests of the resort for us to get violently ill.
[ He reasons that out loud to himself, remembering his prior experiences when the resort reconfigures itself like this. But there is still the very real possibility that some of the fruits or nuts might be tainted in another way. One that, at the very least, can be... inconvenient. ]
...That being said, dandelions would be a safe bet. I had tea brewed from dandelion leaves a few times.
[ And pine needles. And really, a lot of plants that people don't usually associate with tea. ]
So, you seem to have a bit of knowledge in this field. May I ask where it comes from?
[ Said more with general curiosity than anything else. He's not the type to be suspicious. That being said, his imagination might run away from him if he thinks too much about the implications of what he hopes was a joke about potentially drugging people he doesn't like. ]
no subject
I worked part-time doing some cooking and keep up with it when I can. Or did, back home. [Stupid basement life means zero kitchen access unless he asks one of his high-rank friends, and communication is hard, ok?]
You can find some interesting stuff at markets, and people are usually cool if you ask about 'em. That and people love seasonal stuff, so every couple weeks people have different stock.
[he's really just that boring! But really, all of his knowledge is about finding things that have already been harvested. He's lived in a city his whole life, so... how that will translate to foraging here remains to be seen.]
You do any of this stuff back home?
