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!

⛺ 1. Camping

I.
[ Looking at Mitsuru right now, this is clearly someone who is almost entirely out of their element. Her mood hasn't exactly been improved by her accommodation and she still looks a little uncomfortable once she steps outside. ]

Well, this is certainly... rustic.

[ Oh god, someone please get her out of here.

As a queen at least she got the ridiculously luxurious tent - which will be confirmed by anyone who decides to come up and take a peek. She might be open to roomies if yours sucks? ]

II.
[ Someone's got to take charge and make sure that the supplies they have are rationed out and shared equally. Organising at least is something she feels comfortable and more familiar with, even if the setting isn't. She's making the best of the situation.

Even if some of these ingredients have her slightly baffled. Canned ham? She holds the offending item, studying the label with no small amount of bewilderment ~~and maybe disgust~~. ]

I don't think I've ever seen anything with such a long expiration date. How exactly does one consume this?

III.
[ Looks like you're paired up with her on this little expedition to hunt down some food. She's carrying an axe, which she's not entirely confident about wielding but she'll make it work. Unfortunately swords weren't really an option for hunting...

Besides, she can always freeze any targets with her Persona. ]

What exactly do you think a "snoggleboff" is? If it even exists at all...

🔥 2. Roughing It

I.
[ It's early morning and of course a certain someone isn't used to not having a never ending supply of hot water. Apparently she hasn't arrived quite early enough to catch what little hot water there actually is.

That is precisely why there is a sudden shriek of alarm from inside one of the stalls. ]

What the-?!

II.
[ Add fishing to the list of things Mitsuru Kirijo has never done before in her life. She's at least doing a decent job of pretending she is in any way used to holding a fishing rod. Even as she takes a seat on the pier and then... has no idea how she's supposed to initiate this.

Someone want to give her a casting lesson? And no, she hasn't baited it yet. ]

...Have you done this before?

III.
[ It's late, a lot of people are getting naked and diving into the sparkling moonlit waters. It does look refreshing.

Not that Mitsuru is getting naked ~~yet~~.

Instead you'll find her seated by the campfire, trying to ignore all of the moaning and various other noises coming from the direction of the lake. ]

Wildcard
(( Feel free to hit me with something else that takes your fancy! Just shoot me a PM. I've gone for more gen rather than smutty options this time around but I'm definitely open to the latter if anything naturally heads in that direction. ))

[While he'd never been camping in his life, Shinjiro was at least halfway capable of handling it: He knows you can't start a fire directly on a full-ass log, that you can't just eat anything laying around, and that it gets cold as hell at night. Which is why he's approaching one of the campfires that's still going. And maybe because he had seen Mitsuru watching the dark figures rolling in the moonlit water.

It's been a while since they've talked. He's not sure if he's been avoiding her or vice versa or both or neither and they just run in different circles and places. Whatever. He approaches, the glow of the fire lighting him dramatically as he offers a small, steaming mug to Mitsuru.]

Here. Even if you don't wanna drink it, it'll keep your hands warm.

[Because hot chocolate was apparently limitless and always warm and ready, even if the showers are not. He looks out towards the silhouettes on the lake for a moment, brows growing up as someone is hefted entirely in the air, wrapped up in some kind of... tendrils. Wild. Deciding not to think any more on it, he goes ahead and sits on one of the chairs next to her, uninvited, and holding his own warm mug close to himself.]

You been surviving so far?

[ Mitsuru is looking in the same direction as him for a moment and... Ah, so Fernando is here too. Figures. Like him, she's quick to look away and do her best to pay no more attention to whatever tentacle antics are going on in the lake right now.

She hadn't been consciously avoiding Shinjiro. She's been in so many weird sexual situations in this place by now that it's becoming more and more difficult to shock her. However, there is something undeniably more awkward about being like that with someone she'd known for so long. Someone who, along with Akihiko, had seen her at perhaps her very most awkward.

Never the less, she manages to take the offered mug with a small smile. That's very like him. ]

Thank you.

[ As to his question, well... ]

You might have already guessed but... I'm a tad out of my element here.

[He gives a neutral hum at her comment, not commenting, but giving all the energy of 'Well, you said it, not me.' As soon as he'd figured out the setting they were in, he'd known it was going to be a struggle. Especially for those of them that were used to cities with everything available and especially Mitsuru who had never experienced monetary hardship in her life.

Plenty of other hardships, though.]

I guess going out and living off the land wasn't on the vacation list for the Kirijos, huh? [It's a dumb tease, but he doesn't linger or expect a response, simply responds a bit more seriously.] Don't worry, I think most people are. Besides, they didn't exactly give us a lot. Would have been nice if they warned us to at least bring a change of clothes.

[He sits back in the chair, hands curled around his own mug to keep the warmth in his fingers, and the silence sits for a few moments. Maybe he's just imagining the weird tension. Maybe it's him making the weird tension. Maybe if he could communicate like a goddamn normal person he'd stop feeling so weird about it.

At least if there's one thing he is good at, it's pretending.]

You got set up in one of those big tents, though, right? You'll do fine. This place doesn't want us dead, so it can't be too bad. [Unpleasant, sure. Annoying also. But he's not exactly concerned for their survival.]

...Might have shitty hair and be smelling like a pine tree by the end of it, but the shower when we get back'll be worth it.

[ He gets a somewhat wry smile at that question. ] Not exactly, no. [ Try beach vacation homes and fancy villas, luxury hotels etc... Not that she'd had so many actual vacations since she'd started battling Shadows in earnest but still. ] Perhaps so but they seem to be adapting to the lack of facilities a bit faster than myself. [ Rich girl problems...

And speaking of that in addition to her extremely plush temporary lodging: ]

How is your own accommodation?

[ There is a note of concern in her voice. Because she already has a good idea what the answer to that is and "accommodation" might not be the right term for it. It might be a little too generous. ]

Edited 2025-09-19 14:45 (UTC)

As long as you're getting by, you're apadting fine. [She might not enjoy it, but she's also not refusing to participate, or holing up in her swanky royal tent. Sure, she has absolutely no prior skill at any of those things, but that's just a lack of experience.]

What parts are you having trouble with?

[he tries a sip of the drink and decides it is way too sweet. Better as a hand warmer. And it gives him a chance to roll his eyes at her questions about his own lodgings.]

Yeah, it was just like some canvas strung up at an angle. Like half a tent. I figured it'd be more useful as something else and took it down.
