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!

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. ]

[belheir]

[ Akechi isn't tearing his place apart, and not tearing him apart, so... Maybe he doesn't have to worry? The snout hits his chest, and reflexively, his hand goes to the top of the wolf's head, petting him right between the ears.

He should not be petting a stray lycanthrope.

However, he has dealt with things way scarier, and far meaner than Akechi and his outbursts.

The scent he'll catch from Kazuya is a mix of smoke, sandalwood, and a bit of bergamot, the latter two mostly from his prefered soaps and shampoos... And underneath that, something distinctly inhuman. ]

... Good boy?

[laevateinns]

[ the thing is- it would be so easy for akechi to rampage. to go berserk and tear the tent apart, to run around in search of prey.

and maybe he's about to.

but he just got called a good boy again and in this form with his baser instincts even stronger... ohh, that does it for him.

his tail wags.

he puts his front hands (paws?) on top of kazuya's shoulders-

and bodily pushes him to the ground. ]

[belheir]

Ack--!

[ He hits the floor so easily. Demon Overlord he may be, but unfortunately he is still only 130lbs sopping wet. All top easy to bowl over by some errant stray.

His back hits the ground. Thankfully, its soft and carpeted, and not entirely uncomfortable.

Notably though, he has not been bitten. He also saw that tail wag? So maybe Akechi really is just an over excitable, if ill-mannered dog. Kazuya's hands come up to either side of his head and start scritching his ears. ]

Who's a good boy? You are...

[?????

?????? ]

[laevateinns]

[ ooohh.

and here comes the horny part, because akechi whines at that- and it doesn't sound altogether decent. he's still just wearing a robe, too, so it leaves nothing to the imagination; he's hard under there as he straddles kazuya, hands on either side of him as he looks at him and gets his ears scratched.

feels... so good...

he leans down and rubs his face against his, almost more like a cat than a dog. ]

[belheir]

[ Well, truthfully, he would prefer Akechi not horny as a lycanthrope. Human horny works just fine for him. Objectively, it's his favourite kind of horny, even.

Lycanthrope horny is, unfortunately, a little harder to ignore... Is Akechi going to start humping him..? He'll never let him live it down if he starts. He's also not stopping tue petting at all, raging hard-on or not. Especially when the alternative could be either getting bitten or getting his tent destroyed. ]

Yeah... that's a good boy.

[ Just keep up the praise and the petting!!! He's already accepted there's one way this is ending, and Akechi is so fucking lucky Kazuya likes him as much as he does to allow it.

Hands move down from those wolfish ears, down along his back in a longer form of a pet.

Man, this is going to be so awkward. ]

[laevateinns]

[ it’s already so awkward and akechi is already never living it down, so what’s a little humping between “friends?” because that’s exactly what akechi starts doing.

the petting to his back has him pressing his front against kazuya’s, rolling his hips into him slowly at first until he’s straight up humping him merrily without a care, eyes half closed and mouth hanging open.

he growls again, but… lower. more lustful. ]

[belheir]

Ah... Hey, hey... My clothes...

[He doesn't want cum on them! Pre or otherwise! So the petting stops, and he instead moves his hands to push lightly at Akechi's chest, trying to move him away so that he can at least get undressed.

Also undress Akechi, because he's sure that the other will absolutely also bitch if he comes in his own pants and underwear, and Kazuya would like to stop that from happening too.

He's so nice.]

[laevateinns]

[ he's so nice. it's just too bad akechi can't appreciate it, as he is.

(would he, as he normally is?)

he whines instead at being denied his pleasure, shoving his snout back into kazuya and inhaling that scent. smells... so good... all he wants to do is rub and fuck and-

he whines again, louder. ]

[belheir]

Off.

[You have to be firm with dogs, right? That's what he should do with Akechi, apparently. Or what he thinks he should do with him, because that light pushing turns more firm by the second, and Kazuya very adamantly tries to remove the other lycanthropic teen's shirt with one hand while fending off that muzzle with the other.]

Come on, it'll be better if you work with me, you know? It'll feel way better...

[Surely there is at least a reasonable part of Akechi in there somewhere. Somewhere.]

[laevateinns]

[ he whines again, like a spoiled, impatient brat- but he allows it.

he huffs into his hair in annoyance about it, though. ]
