TDM 12



【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

As a token of appreciation to all of our guests, the house and resort have worked in collaboration with the all powerful system that transmigrates souls between worlds to bring you a special excursion! All are invited to participate in our limited time event, Tits out! A Sex Dungeon! where guests can shop, craft, adventure, treasure hunt, and battle.

During this event, sexual encounters with WILDCARD guests are worth double the payout, so please keep an eye out for our new arrivals! Other supplies, such as typically banned weapons, are also available.

We appreciate our low rank guests temporarily adjusting their living quarters to accommodate this delightful experience. Extra thanks to you for your generosity! 】



WINDING MARKET
A ROOKERY COMES SPRAWLING
A CHARMING MARKET ► The Rookery floods the main lobby and begins construction on the eve of November 15th. This wandering group of merchants has decided to set up shop! From November 15th through January 1st, the Rookery will be operating a marketplace on the ground floor of the Golden Peacock. This marketplace operates at all hours and does not close.

This once luxurious lobby has transformed into a rustic market. Wooden shops line the walls where eager merchants promote their wares. These little stores are stocked with handcrafted goods, specialty products, and artisanal treats. Unlike general Golden Peacock establishments, shops in the marketplace are willing to haggle and trade.

► Not all of these booths are occupied. Guests interested in selling their crafts or services are welcome to open up shop. The merchants of the Rookery will also hire resort guests looking for work.
CEDAR AND PINEThis simple marketplace embraces small town charm. The scents of wood and pine meld with freshly baked bread and leather. The echo of a blacksmith striking metal resounds through chatter and laughter. Shopkeepers call and wave from their booths to lure in potential customers.

► Weather simulation has been introduced to the first floor. Snow falls from an artificial sky dotted with lights. This snow looks, feels, and tastes like the real thing. The temperature correspondingly drops to a brisk chill, so bundle up!

► Merchants decorate their shops with winding ribbons, baubles, and bells at the beginning of December. A massive pine tree graces the central square and patrons are invited to decorate it with sparkling ornaments.

Rumor of a gifting tradition spreads, with merchants jumping on board to offer gift wrap with every sale. If you don't give someone you care about a thoughtful present then you must not really like them at all!
SPECIALTY SHOPS
LIMITED TIME WARES
PREPARE FOR DUNGONEERINGOne of the biggest stores in the marketplace is the armorer's shop. It isn't safe to go adventuring in an unexplored dungeon without protection! Come one, come all. The best armor in town is here. The marketeers in the armorer's shop swear their supplies are the best in the business. Well-crafted! Quality materials! Enchanted to ward off the elements!

All available armor is extremely slutty. Every piece has been styled to emphasize the wearer's assets and barely covers anything. Tight, sexy, and functional. Isn't it a win/win for all? Let those tits battle and breathe!

Guests that follow the sound of clanging metal will find the blacksmith. The front of the shop offers a basic selection of knives, swords, and shields for purchase. While the quality of these weapons is mediocre at best, guests may not want to pass up the opportunity to purchase a weapon while the house is allowing it.

Weapon aficionados may meet with the blacksmith to discuss enhancing the current selection. Special materials can be found in dungeon chests or collected from monsters to improve weapon quality. Guests willing to collect these materials and have the chips to spare can commission superior products.

Several leather shops are competing for business. One specializes in enchanted leather pouches, another focuses on offering high quality boots. Leather journals make beautiful gifts. What lasts longer than leather clothing? Nothing! Or how about a leather hair accessory for that person with long, flowing locks?

Those browsing through these many leather shops best keep their wits about them. Not all of them are selling real leather! Some greedy merchants are trying to pass off plastic junk as the real thing. A few bold charlatans willing to lie about enchantments to customers that appear uneducated about magic. Do your best to not get swindled!
DRIED AND BAKED SUNDRIESThe dried goods shop is the most popular amongst adventurers. Those preparing to head down into the dungeon can't leave without supplies, after all! One can find a broad selection of jellies, jams, preserves, cheese, jerky, nuts, and seeds. While they aren't the tastiest, they'll survive for several days in a backpack, which is exactly what every adventurer needs!

The universe-renowned baking mogul, Mama Brot, has opened a shop selling her famous pretzels. These soft pretzels, nicknamed breastzels, come in both sweet and savory variations. They are deliciously plush and melt in the mouth. It's said that one bite of one of her pillowy breastzels will send you straight to heaven. Dessert and bread connoisseurs cannot miss out!

Guests eager to get their hands on some of Mama Brot's breastzels have their work cut out for them. The shops restocks with fresh breastzels every morning, but the line to purchase starts queuing two hours beforehand. Supply runs out quickly every time Mama Brot decides to whip up a new batch. Good luck!

Small bakeries peppering throughout the marketplace kick off December with a flurry of decorated cookies. Guests will find cookies and biscuits cut into different shapes, painted with icing, smeared with jam, and drizzled with chocolate. Hot chocolate booths also pop up, their baristas encouraging guests to gather and enjoy the snow by the center market tree with a cozy drink.
JOBS & QUESTS
A MAKESHIFT TAVERN
CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS: A SLAYER QUEST AWAITS!

Are you looking to make big coin? Do you have the strength and endurance to take on the dungeon? Then we want YOU to join our guild's quest to sLay!

The dungeon is teeming with sexy monsters that need sLaying. All you need to do to sLay is to fuck them real good! Once satisfied, these sexy monsters may drop quality loot. Join in the hunt to sLay and consolidate drops with our guild! We're happy to make trades or buy.

Yaaassss sLay all day!

JOB POSTING ONE! BIG PAYOUT FOR EASY WORK!

I am a pharmacist looking for some brave adventurers willing to go down into the dungeon and collect dongle flower milk for me. I need at least 10 bottles! This is an important ingredient in one of my popular prescriptions. I am not athletic enough to go get it myself and my supplies are running low.

Please deliver all dongle flower milk to the medical shop in the northwest corner of the market. Please note, I need FULL bottles. Do not skimp or I won't pay!
JOB POSTING TWO! HELP A WOMAN'S GROWING BUSINESS!

I am a young lady looking to expand my make-up business. I heard rumors that there's water in the dungeon that could make an AMAZING base for make-up products. But it sounds like it's super scary in there and I don't want to go. Please, someone, help!

You can bring all bottles of dungeon water to the make-up booth in the southeast corner of the market. I'm willing to pay in chips or trade some of my current products. My face masks and nail polishes are really good!

JOB POSTING THREE! PLEASE DON'T ASK WHY!

Hello. I need many dungeon slime cores, so I am looking for everyone and anyone willing to go slime hunting and gather some for me. We can negotiate pay based upon the number of slime cores brought. Do not inquire what the slimes or their cores are needed for.

Please bring all slime and slime core deliveries to back door of the Dried and Baked Sundries shop. Thank you!
JOB POSTING FOUR! I WANT COLLECTABLES!

If you're going into the dungeon, I want collectables. If you find that fabled treasure room, bring me back something cool and shiny. I'm willing to pay good money! I don't care what it is as long as it's hard to get and I can brag to my friends about it.

You can find me drinking in the tavern. I'll be wearing expensive velvet and a tiny hat with a feather.
PULL UP A CHAIR ► As a watering hole for adventurers looking for a place to kick back and relax with a hot beer, the tavern is a hot spot at all hours. Crude and sticky, there's never a dull moment at this establishment! Fights break out every night, drinking competitions are the norm, and it's the best place to gather information.

The tavern doubles as an inn, offering a dozen rooms above the bar for adventurers to cool their heels. A night's stay is relatively cheap and costs only a handful of chips.

Guests can pick up jobs and quests from the tavern's request board. Postings vary in difficulty and payout. Anyone is welcome to pick them up and they can be completed for as long as the dungeon is active.

► Jobs and quests can be completed through the dungeon prompts below. They may be done multiple times. These job posters need a lot of supply!

Guests can also list their own jobs and quests to the tavern's request board. While the board is typically meant to attract adventurers for hire, guests can advertise their own services this way. The bartender really doesn't care what goes up. She's too busy breasting boobily behind the counter in a corset that hikes her cleavage against her throat.


A WHOLE NEW BASEMENT
GOOD LUCK, NEW ARRIVALS
A TRENDY RENOVATION ► Low rank guests will be delighted to find that the basement has been completely renovated! Basement and maintenance floors have been converted into a realistic dungeon complete with gray stone, torchlight, and the echo of crawling monsters. Low rank suites have been temporarily adjusted to match the aesthetic.

The communal bathroom has also been styled into a medieval latrine. Low rank guests can now enjoy bonding together over a communal trench and chamber pots. A helpful sign has been posted on the door advising guests to be wary of slimes coming up through the piping.

Low rank guests that aren't happy with their living arrangements can check out the rooms above the tavern. They need only chat with the bartender and pay a fee for each night they wish to stay. It's up to them whether or not they think a dungeon filled with monsters or a raucous tavern is better for their beauty sleep.
NEW ARRIVALS ► New arrivals find themselves waking in various locations throughout the dungeon. Unlike low rank guests who have dungeon suites, new arrivals wake randomly in the upper and lower levels of the dungeon. Anywhere is fair game.

► New arrivals are considered dungeon monsters. In fact, wildcards are the number one hunted monster for the extremely popular sLaying quest! They'll have to keep on their toes if they don't want to be sexily sLayed.

Stepping away from resort standard, wildcards wake dressed to embody their role as an erotic dungeon monster. The house knows that its guests have eclectic tastes, so monster costumes range from skimpy strategically placed furs to full body suits.

► What are dungeon monsters without drops? Wildcards will also wake with a pouch of valuables for adventurers to collect. These items can vary from useful ores, gemstones, and chip vouchers to random items like condoms, vegetables, and shiny rocks.
UPPER DUNGEON
START THE DESCENT
FLOOR 1 Heading down the stairs from the marketplace leads to the first floor of the dungeon. This is where all low rank suites have been condensed. Corridors are generally dry and well lit, with twisting ivy and torches lining the walls. Some guests say that it’s an improvement over the previously dreary, dirty basement.

Only a handful of monsters are brave enough to come close to the surface. The ones that do have low IQs and are easily defeated.

► Barrels, crates, and chests can be found in corners and intersections. Low value materials, like perishables and basic clothing, can be found inside. This may or may not include the personal items of low rank guests misplaced during renovations. Whoops!

Watch out! Mimic chests love to hide amongst these crates. Opened mimic chests chase nearby guests, desperate to thrust their slimy tongues into any reachable orifice. They’re also quite dumb, happily repopulating areas where other mimics have been beaten. It isn’t uncommon to find a new one where an old one had been just yesterday!

► Sprigs of mistletoe grow over doors and dangle from the ceiling. Nothing happens when someone passes alone. The enchantment is only triggered when two or more people intersect. Those who cross under the mistletoe may find themselves unable to leave its proximity. As if an invisible bubble has appeared, attempts to leave will be rebuffed.

The mistletoe enchantment can only be broken by kissing. Some mistletoe may be satisfied with a brief kiss while others may require its victims to use tongue. Get ready for some smooching!
FLOOR 2 Multiple stairways across the first floor lead down to the second. As guests head down, they will find the temperature dropping and light dimming. The stairwell opens up to a reveal crumbling archways, staggered levels of ruins, and rich moss blanketing over stone.

This dungeon floor has several gaps between ruins and multiple pockets of open space. Old wooden bridges creak in the wind. Leaves flick across, carried on steady breeze. Treasure chests and harpy-like monsters can be found throughout the ruins.

► Adventurers need to cross multiple bridges to make it to the next portion of the dungeon. However, they will find that they cannot cross these bridges alone. All bridges in this area vanish the moment someone steps out solo. Luckily, falls to the ground are cushioned by a thick blanket of moss.

Adventurers must step forward together, hand-in-hand, in order to cross. Guests that stop holding hands while crossing, hesitate, or mistrust one another will find the bridge vanishing from beneath their feet.

► Wind speeds spike dangerously at random intervals and send the floor into sub-freezing temperatures. During these times, it is advised that adventurers take cover, because they might end up blown away. There are sporadic abandoned campsites in caves and alcoves where guests can wait out the wind.

These campsites serendipitously offer a cozy bedroll. One cozy bedroll. With howling winds knocking out torchlight, the only way to keep warm is to cuddle up and share body heat. Oddly enough, the furious winds only calm down after adventurers snuggle. Weird!
FLOOR 3 Lush vegetation dominates the third floor. Pathways are challenging to follow beneath overgrown flora. Ancient trees twist between crumbling pillars. This dungeon forest is teeming with sexy floral monsters that blend with the brush and provoke adventurers with sensual whispers. Isn’t it amazing how accurate they are in pinpointing your kinks?

Monsters on this floor love to tease and fondle guests passing through. Adventurers cutting through the forest may end up groped by branches, leaves, and flowers. Or more! These floral monsters can get very handsy.

► Treasure chests can be found throughout the dungeon forest. The floral monsters will try to protect them, but none of the monsters in this area are particularly strong. Wood nymphs seduce guests away from chests and vines will lash out to slap their hands. Chests on this floor are valuable, offering high-quality potions like elixirs and panaceas.

Not all potions are good. Some bottles are decoys that cause unwanted effects. The three most common decoys are love potions, hatemance potions, and flora potions.

  • LOVE POTION: A magical liquid designed to make the person who drinks it fall in love with the first person they see.
  • HATEMANCE POTION: A magical liquid designed to make the first person who drinks it fall into hate, coupled with passionate sexual desire, for the first person they see.
  • FLORA POTION: Liquefied chlorophyll designed to temporarily transform anyone who drinks it into a sexy monster. Monster need not be plant-based.

  • An invasive species, the dongle flower, can be found in large number in the center of the forest. This flower’s fleshy petals phallically cone into one another and stand erect from a small cluster of leaves at its base. This flower is mostly known for its milk, which can be collected by pumping its petals. Those unfamiliar with this breed of flora may mistake it for a human penis, but closer investigation will confirm that it is indeed a plant.

    Getting to close to the dongle flower comes with risks. This flower is notorious for ejaculating its milk when stimulated. Dongle flowers in close proximity may trigger one another and cause a chain of milk ejaculations. Dongle flower milk has analeptic properties that heighten virility, sensitivity, and sex drive. The more milk, the more potent.
    LOWER DUNGEON
    HALFWAY DOWN
    FLOOR 4 A slope leads the way down to the fourth floor. Adventurers must be careful with their footing to avoid taking a spill because the path is steep and uneven. Why are these stones sticking up so much, anyway?!

    Guests not watching their step may end up triggering a trap. After a trick stone sinks beneath their weight, a rumble echoes throughout the dungeon. This echo the ominous prelude to a giant boulder crashing down and rolling after them! (There is a nipple painted on the boulder.)

    Those that don’t want to get squashed by the boulder may have to throw themselves off the ledge. Depending on where they decide to jump ship, they will end up in a different chamber designed to test their mettle.

    CHAMBER ONE: An unfurnished room with no windows or doors. This chamber is deep, making it difficult to try and scale the walls back up to the path. Lone adventurers will end up stuck until someone else joins them, because the trap will not trigger until two or more guests are inside.

    Once at least two guests are trapped, spikes spring from two opposing walls. They slowly begin to close in and a booming voice declares: BE EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE OR DIE!

    The floor will give way for guests that comply. Those that do not and cannot get out of the room on their own will be spiked. They may escape with injuries or die. If the latter, they will revive in the Broken Wing clinic.

    CHAMBER TWO: This chamber is divided into multiple parallel rooms. These rooms are designed to facilitate a specific kink between the guests trapped inside. They might be furnished with toys or vacant with only a gloryhole in a partition. Regardless, every room has a door locked shut with a bulky padlock.

    After two guests have entered a booming voice declares: EXPLORE KINK OR REMAIN TRAPPED FOREVER!

    Padlocks will drop and doors will open for guests that comply. Those that do not are doomed to be trapped forever… or figure a way out through demolition. That disembodied voice is going to be really salty when adventurers realize that last option exists.
    FLOOR 5 Water commands the fifth floor. Adventurers must tread through dark and damp tunnels that lead into flooded chambers. Pools and rivers run throughout, with some areas reaching depths of 50 feet. Treasure chests are submerged but are worth the effort, offering ores, metals, and rare stones that can be used to enhance weapons with the blacksmith.

    Reverse mermaids live in these waters. They enjoy swimming alongside adventurers and spreading their legs to show off how good they are for fucking.

    ► Slimes ooze along the ceiling and plop into the water. They float along like jellyfish, but will direct themselves toward adventurers they sense nearby. Slimes vary in size and color, though the majority are small enough to cup between two hands. The mother slime, a giant slime hidden deep in the depths, occasionally appears to absorb adventurers into her gelatinous body.

    Small and deceptively cute, these little monsters are attracted to adventurers and eager to ooze all over them. Different colored slimes and their secretions cause various physical reactions. Slimes can be mixed to create combination effects.

  • CLEAR SLIME: Clear slime is an aphrodisiac that can also be used as a lubricant.
  • PINK SLIME: Pink slime amplifies shyness and embarrassment.
  • PURPLE SLIME: Purple slime triggers sexual aggression and sadistic tendencies.
  • YELLOW SLIME: Yellow slime may enhance dominate or submissive inclinations.
  • MOTHER SLIME: Secretions from the mother slime trigger a breeding rut/heat. The more contact one has with the mother slime, the more intense the rut/heat.

  • ► The water in this dungeon has unique properties. Adventurers that soak for long periods of time may find their skin clearing up, their hair becoming shinier, and their features becoming dewy and radiant. This water is imbued with beauty magic that intensifies the sexiness of those who drink or bathe in it. Everything they do, even sneezing or scratching an itch, will be tinted in a pink glow of attractive glamor.

    Guests that soak for too long run the risk of becoming powerfully distracting. Beauty can be bewitching, so take care to not charm other adventurers into becoming obsessed admirers, lest you become an unwitting Helen of Troy!

    Drinking the water comes with an additional potential side effect. The drinker's voice has a 25% chance of becoming hypnotic. They may be able to entrance others or cause them to orgasm through dirty talk alone.
    FLOOR 6 Drying off won't be a problem after getting down to the sixth floor! The temperature jumps to a sweltering degree and light glints off silvery glass. Orange and red flicker and dance. Stepping into the yawning mouth of this massive floor reveals a giant pit of blazing fire beneath a twisting mirror maze.

    Muscular minotaurs prowl, prepared to kidnap adventurers and whisk them away to their dens. This maze is also equipped with traps and enchantments designed to redirect guests back to the beginning entrance. Adventurers will need to use creativity and ingenuity to navigate this labyrinth while battling intense heat.

    ► Guests can take cover in small chambers at maze corridor intersections. These rooms are also sweltering but, happily enough, there are magical air conditioners available! Two plates on opposite sides of the room must simultaneously be stepped on in order to activate the ice enchantment.

    Comfort comes with a price. Something strange happens when magic sparks: the adventurers standing on the activation plates have swapped bodies! They won't be able to switch back immediately, either, because the ice enchantment has a cool down period. Their options are to either wait it out or go find another room with an unused ice enchantment!

    ► Adventurers that successfully navigate their way through the maze will find a long corridor leading to a massive shining door. They've found the exit down to the treasure room where riches upon riches are waiting. Money, money, money!!

    Guests that let their guard down while walking to the door may end up shot with an arrow! In classic dungeon fashion, holes in the wall open and launch arrows all the way down to the entrance of the treasure room.

    Getting shot by an arrow will trigger lust at first sight! Forget about everything else and look at your fellow dungeon crawler. Aren't they so erotic? Don't you really want to fuck them right now and forget about all that treasure? Or perhaps they're still rocking around in your swapped body. Isn't it suddenly tempting to fuck yourself?


    TREASURE ROOM
    IT DEFINITELY ISN'T CURSED
    FLOOR 7: THE BOTTOM FLOOR The final floor of the dungeon is a massive chamber glittering with precious gems, metals, and enchanted valuables. Piles and piles of gold coins are stacked as far as the eye can see. Treasure chests line the walls, overflowing with sparkling jewelry. Anyone that’s ever wanted to swim in piles of gold can finally make their dream come true.

    Guests can take whatever they can carry. They have to make their way back up through the dungeon with it, so hopefully they came prepared!

    ► Brave adventurers that managed to come this far deserve worthwhile gains. Those who enter the treasure room are welcome to pick up special treasures from the following selection. None of these items are game breaking, so players can pick up multiple or mix and match.

  • ECHO STONE: A small stone that fits in the palm of a hand. When tapped, it sends out a soft pulse that outlines nearby exits, hidden passages, or alternate routes in shimmering light.

  • EARRINGS OF FATE: A matching pair of diamond studs. If shared between two people, the wearers can sense each others’ location all times.

  • CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY: Shimmering silver fabric as smooth as water. Wearing this cloak grants invisibility.

  • THONG OF BRONZE: A bronze thong. Wearing this thong increases power, endurance, and speed, but only when worn alone.

  • RING OF PROTECTION: A simple gold ring enchanted to protect the wearer. While this is useful during battle, it also can act as birth control and prevent sharing diseases.

  • CLICK LOCK LOCKET: A simple golden heart-shaped locket. The wearer can open the locket and give themselves temporary body modifications for up to two hours at a time.

  • MECHANICAL MOUSE: A mechanical mouse that registers its master with a drop of blood. A little friend that can scout, transport small items, and fit into tiny spaces.

  • BRASS COMPASS: A small brass compass with delicate gears. It doesn’t point north. Instead, it points to the carrier's deepest desire or the object they seek the most.

  • FEATHER OF FLIGHT: A delicate feather that feels lighter than air itself. Grants the ability to fly for a short period but the user must have it in their possession and activate it. Works in bursts, such as allowing them to jump across wide gaps or avoid a deadly fall.

  • HAND OF LUCK: A small, silver broach shaped like a human hand, fingers outstretched in a gesture of good fortune. The hand grants increased luck to the user, influencing dice rolls, odds, or even the outcome of risky decisions. However, it only works once per day. When it activates it may make other things worse.

  • ► An iridescent door glitters at the back of the treasure room. Written on an aged scroll pinned to the wall is an explanation that this door can send adventurers home. They will have abandon their companions for this opportunity, because one who uses the door must pass through alone. The scroll explains that the door will only work once within a span of several hours, making it impossible for anyone else to immediately use it. There is also the risk that it will never work again.

    Of course, the door isn't really sending anyone back to their world. Guests that decide to take the leap will find themselves walking straight into their suite upstairs. The scroll didn't specify which home!

    Aak | Arknights | 3♠, existing character

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
    I. Upper Floors (I Just Live Here) (cw: breaking and entering?)

    [The floors right below the markets are the safest of the bunch. Even if someone were caught by a mimic or a minor monster another amateur adventurer would likely show up. It's a great place for people to gain experience for it they endeavor to reach treasure by the time the resort tires of this gimmick.]

    [Perhaps one ekes a bit of money and experience by thrashing barrels, crates, and running from the occasional mimic. In which case, every room could have a little niche of supplies. It makes sense to go looking around. Behind one door, though...]


    Hey! [The old, worn-looking dungeon door opens to a weird mish-mash of dungeon and normal. There's a regular resort bed taking up most of the floorspace of the stone room. Among crates and barrels there are also some cafeteria wrappers, plastic water bottles, and clothes that don't match the new armor aesthetic that's getting pushed.]

    [He's hung a sheet up on the wall to project videos from his Watch onto the wall. Some sex toy review is playing as he rolls over on his bed to accost whoever opened the door.]


    Didn't you see the sign?! [maybe there was a sign, maybe it got torn down in the last crate-restocking]

    If you're gonna interrupt then you better buy something! [he points to a dresser that's covered in plastic water bottles and glass fantasy vials full of liquid in an 'exciting' array of colors]

    II. Upper Floors (Flora Potion) ("i can take him" cws: violence, altered states, only death with ooc communication; "... in a fight, right?" cws: quadruped, fantasy bestiality, altered states)

    [While Aak usually avoids tasting his own supply he's not against it in an emergency. Too many dryads getting vines around his limbs led to downing something unknown and while the results did free him from the dryads, it's up to him in a few hours to decide if it was worth it.]

    [By one of the paths that leads to the lower floors of the dungeon, there is a great stone gate. The dirt and leaf litter of the forest gives was to stone that would characterize the next stratum of exploration. By that gate are two pedestals. One appears to have a statue's rubble on it, as if it were destroyed ages ago. The other pedestal, though...]

    [has a guardian. The monster has more body mass than Aak, with the back of the creature coming up to what would have been the original man's shoulders. slim and short limbs have been replaced with thick, muscular ones. An array of teeth are displayed by the monster's open mouth.]

    [When anyone approaches the lion-dog leaps off its pedestal and roars, causing many of the plants in the area to release a puff of dubious pollen. Cue music.]

    [While anyone who leaves the door along will likely avoid being hunted, it's possible the beast could get far too worked up in the fight to resist a moving target. This is the guardian that hunts evil, after all, not the one who defends.]


    III. Lower Floors (Slimes & Water) (cw: varies on thread direction, can involve any slime solutions)

    [No way is Aak wasting an opportunity like this to gather weird plants, pollens, slime goo, liquids... and of this could help make a breakthrough with his current plans or just a good time. He's more than happy to party up with anyone who wants to go deep into the dungeon and is relatively trustworthy.]

    [Relatively.]


    Help me get this one in the bag!

    [Is he trying to shove one of the slimes into a garbage bag? ... Maybe.]

    You know, I never had a pet, maybe this is the time for it. Shame there's not an orange one. Say, if I mixed a pink one and a yellow one that might do it, huh? Is that like fucking for them or something really weird?

    [conversations you have in a dungeon]

    IV. Mistaken Identity (The Markets) (cw: body-swap catfishing, semi-public)

    [The body-swap trap was pretty deep in. Most people who still have to trudge through the lobby-turned-market may not realize that something surreal might happen to the people who venture too deeply. Either way, perhaps they're starting to get used to various strange glimpses of the stuff coming up from the dungeon.]

    H-Hey... [a shaky hand reaches out to tug at the clothing of a passerby]

    [This is Fuuta Kajiyama, or someone who just happens to look identical to him! Aak is trying his best to mimic the shifty expression, the distaste for all things strange and yet reliance on them for help, and the intense aura of someone you wanna poke at. He was going to do his best to get Fuuta a fun little blip on his reputation radar!]


    One of those stupid monsters got me. [It's hard to tell from his appearance where or how it got him. He's slammed an oversized hoodie over the lurid armor but that just gives the image of "guy in only an oversized hoodie."]

    To cure it, someone's gotta... lick it. [He's so pleased with himself for not breaking character and giggling.]

    V. Wildcard

    (if any prompts sound good and aren't expressed up here, go ahead and PM me and we can work something out! kinklist, permissions, and anatomy notes are here)

    II. i can take him (in a right, right?)

    [personal profile] armwriostle 2025-11-17 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
    [The flora monsters aren't really that formidable to say the least. He guesses that's to be expected. Aren't these type of scenarios where the farther in you go, the more dangerous?

    Either way, when he steps forward and Aak leaps down, he already gets the feeling they weren't originally a beast that belonged here. Anyone could tell that the lion is much stronger than the usual creatures on this floor. It's thrilling, but it also gives that apprehension of not knowing what to expect.

    Maybe it's lucky he ran into the beast though. Others might not be ready to face them, but Wriothesley is at least confident he could go toe to toe. Is that confidence misplace? He's about to find out.

    Gauntlets materialize around his fists and he lifts them up. Ready.
    ] Let's see what you got.

    [Among all the dull colors of the dungeon, the bright orange mane and tail stand out proudly. It may be a familiar splash of colors but where Aak was a wimpy coward the monster sees weapons be readied and reacts accordingly. There's a snarl and the entire body coils into action.]

    [The first strike is a leap to close to distance. It is predictable, though, and easy to counter. The real purpose is to get closer, though. With the distance closed it becomes more clear that the fur of the creature is laced with some sort of toxin. The gravity and impact of hitting the ground sends powder out into the air around them.]

    [It does need to be inhaled, though, so Wriothesley may minimize its effects if he's careful.]

    [Otherwise, it's going to start a chain reaction of status effects. There are some positives mixed into the negatives. Some toxins may make the world spin but also enhance his strength. Some may eat away at his stamina but also enhance his libido. The combinations of sensations are wild and nonsensical to compliment the direct style of the monster itself.]

    [The colors remind him of a certain feline friend and he isn't one to not notice coincidences, but he also has no idea how to respond to the lion he's facing because of that. He certainly doesn't want to harm them greatly if that's the base, but that also means that there's the difficulties of trying to incapacitate them without great harm.

    It's certainly not an ideal scenario.

    He takes a few steps back immediately, especially when he notices the powder that seems to release from the beast's fur.

    Truly an extra layer of unfortunate when one considers that Wriothesley's favored fighting style is close combat. He doesn't inhale any of the toxin yet, but it's more of a matter as to when. He might have good lungs for holding his breath, but it's not exactly viable long term and he gets the feeling that this isn't going to be easy like the monsters on this floor. Thrilling, but also concerning.

    He grits his teeth before pushing forward, fist raised to send the first icy punch at the other.

    [The monster certainly had no hesitations.]

    [The impact of the fist against his side makes a pained noise slip from the monster's mouth. However, it also makes them brace harder against the ground. The claws leave chips in the stone below as he presses forward to try and bite the other's forearm. If the fists were a means to hurt him then he wanted to tear the limbs apart.]

    [If there is some aspect of Aak still in it, it's a very faint glimmer. It is his spiteful desire to hurt others who hurt him. It is his fear. It is the lack of impulse control that gets him into these cycling situations to begin with.]

    [She knows. By now she knows. How could Rin not recognize him? The coloration, the texture of his fur, or maybe even something more core to him than that: his magical signature. The very essence of his being and the energy that pumps through his veins containing the life force she has familiarized herself with for almost two years now.

    It's why she cannot move on without addressing the beast. It's why she's determined to take him down and take him with her at all costs. She cannot leave him here looking like that. Acting like that. Entreating fights that may possibly lead to death. She must overcome his new form and bring him with her to the end. Then keep him locked away until this passes — no matter what.

    He leaps from his pedestal and she begins running energy through her limbs. Magical power coursing through her circuits with adept familiarity. Tohsaka won't hurt him if she doesn't have to, but singed fur and bruises might be a price to pay to prevent someone else from sending him to the Broken Wing. Stepping forward in her adventuring leathers (nsfw pic) Rin beckons to him.]


    Come here, Aak. I'll take care of you.

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-19 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
    [There is that pause, the knowledge that if she chose not to provoke a fight that it wouldn't happen. He's guarding a gate and, hypothetically, anyone who didn't fuck with the gate was fine by him. She knows, though, that for every cautious person there was a fight-crazed adventurer. If they didn't recognize a transformed person, or possibly even if they did, they might aim to kill.]

    [And he's dodged dying so far. Might as well accept her help to keep up the streak.]

    ["Accept" being only vaguely accurate. The monster sees the beckoning and takes off. He doesn't go for a direct charge, instead curving his approach from one side to the other to make any initial assault a bit more difficult to land. Should he get close enough, the first strike will come with an approach from the right side, with paws and claws aimed for the side.]
    edelstein: (052)

    [personal profile] edelstein 2025-11-22 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
    [She expected this. The energy flowing to her limbs means that she's ready and able to catch that paw when he makes a swipe at her. While she may skid a bit, sliding against the stone floor, she's able to hold him tight enough that she's able to put some counter force against him.

    What happens next might just be absurd. Without magecraft enhancing her skills it'd be impossible at her size, but since she has her skills she's more than capable of pulling it off. With a bit of leverage she applies some counter-force to his attack with the intent of flinging him at a nearby wall.]


    You're welcome to surrender at anytime, babe!

    [Is that a step forward or just a call to him with the hopes he can't retort or might not fully remember?]
    malpwactice: (💊 gamer danger)

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-25 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
    [There's the pressure on the backside of his paw, his neck still extending to try and take a bite out of her side or anywhere soft he can reach. Then the force hits.]

    [The monstrous features that don't quite resemble a cat or dog can still contort in a way that conveys complete confusion. That amount of strength from something that size doesn't track and as his body is thrown and all four limbs are off the ground his has a few airbound seconds to gape. His body hits the wall and, when it does, a cloud of spores and powder come off his fur.]

    [When he hits the ground, though, he doesn't stay down for long. The monster stumbles back up to his feet. It doesn't start charging again immediately, but the growl rumbling in its throat suggests he's simply considering another angle. Aak was still in there and Aak didn't exactly love getting thrown into walls over and over. Better to use his head, even if it's all wrapped up in a weird mess of monster instincts.]

    III hello fellow ingredients buddy how are the slimes today

    [personal profile] noneforyou 2025-11-18 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ "Relatively" better be quite the operative word there--

    Xue Yang is appreciating having a sword again, even if it's way shittier than his still-missing Jiangzai, and is very willing to dive into the deep, dark caverns to extract whatever juicy (or slimy) secrets might be contained within. At the call he rolls his eyes but stands up anyway, putting on hold his careful scraping of the remains of a splatted yellow slime into an already half-full jar. He gives Aak's soon-to-be-captive a glance over as he approaches. ]


    You should try it. They don't disburse in water so I'd guess they don't mix but maybe if you put 'em together and shake 'em up hard enough you can get a suspension or something.

    [ He grabs one side of the bag's opening and with a quick motion pulls it over the creature's body and around it, getting it at least covered without actually making any contact with the slime himself.

    He's wearing gloves anyway. The kinky latex sort, because that's what was available, but they work well enough for generally keeping untested substances off his hands. ]


    That enough help?
    malpwactice: (💊 hiccups)

    oh, you know, slimy

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-19 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    [There was something weird about once again seeing people with weapons around. Aak had never relied on his but on the streets and at Rhodes Island there were definitely people who were attached to the things. It was nostalgic. It was nostalgic, just like busting out some of his old combat recipes now that they were needed again.]

    Yea, maybe some sort of fusion? [tbh, all Aak needed was the single "you should try it" to chase his bad impulses.]

    [Aak scoops the end of the bag up and holds it tight. His gloves are a lot closer to improvised, with tape and ties holding bits of bag together. Less functional and less sexy, tragically.]


    Plenty, [he chirps about the amount of help. He could be greedier, sure, but just the presence of a guy like Xue Yang made for a much safer gathering environment. One or two slimes Aak could handle but having someone around who could cut right to the core meant no big swarms were going to happen. Right??]

    Now, this jar?... [he settles down on the patchy grass of the floor to pick a jar for his new slime-fusion-experiment. Despite his effort to be gloved up, there is clearly some slime that's gotten stuck to the fur of his tail... the shame of being a furry.]
    noneforyou: (31)

    good, good

    [personal profile] noneforyou 2025-11-20 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Xue Yang is a master of feeding bad impulses.

    And there will definitely not be any swarms or other things like ambushes in their future.

    Definitely.

    For now though the derailment is over with, which means he's returning to his slime collection. He takes his time getting as much as he can without picking up any contaminants from the ground, which means that by the time he looks over at his companion again, that slime has been sitting on Aak's fur for some time. ]


    You got some on you.

    [ Without waiting for permission or even acknowledgement, Xue Yang reaches out and runs his hand down the dirty part of Aak's tail. Does doing so pick up some of the slime? Yes. Does doing so squish some of the slime in further, possibly all the way to skin? Also yes. ]
    malpwactice: (💊 gamer danger)

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-24 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
    [Aak's lack of fine motor control over his tail usually doesn't matter. Here, though, each little flick and curl could get itself brushed against something dangerous. Slime doesn't feel too much different from when his tail is damp. He assumes it hit one of the puddles of water.]

    [His ear flicks back, catching the words just a few seconds before there's a hand griping his tail and sliding.]


    Yipe! [The main part of his tail isn't as sensitive as the base but for all the petting cat-crazy guests had gotten he didn't usually get the full tail treatment.]

    Ah, [There's something extra there, lingering beneath his usual racing thoughts.] Gross, some of the slime? Just rinsing with water won't do it, I need products for my fur, yanno?

    [He doesn't actually expect the guy to "know," but that's fine. He turns to look, to try and see if it was a lot of slime, a little, or what color it was. Seeing the gooey stuff on Xue Yang's hand does make him smile a bit. Like, it's an exploitable kind of look. Like a guy who'd just been jerking it something weird...]

    [Somewhere distantly he thinks, hadn't this guy been pretty neutral on the whole sex stuff? What would he look like going along with it all? That's a natural thing to be curious about, isn't it?]

    [Of course he gets to turn a corner in the weird dungeon and wander into this Furball Weirdo wanting to corral the goopey creatures and stuff them in a bag. Of course. But even though he sighs and rolls his eyes, he still approaches and uses the butt-end of the the huge fuck-off axe he'd been carrying to help encourage one of the slimes deeper into that bag.]

    What, you gonna get one of each and put 'em in a tank or something?

    [What do they even eat? (it's probably cum, knowing this place.) But if the mad scientist here has a new collection of drips and secretions to play with, maybe it's safer for anyone else. (He still hasn't forgotten about you wanting his spit, after all.)]

    You think they even fuck? They might just sort of split into two.

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-19 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
    [And of course the Furball Weirdo recognizes him, ears perking up and eagerly waving him over to help with his messy work. He does idly note the weapon but less in a threat assessment way and more of a "huh, an axe guy," sort of way.]

    You think I've got the space for four tanks? [his tail flicks, as if Shinjiro should totally know something he has no reason to know. Then again, if they've ever crossed eyes in the communal showers they know they're working with very limited space. Currently dungeon space.]

    If I found 'em anywhere else I'd think they just split but in a place like this? Like... they've gotta fuck, right?

    [He grips the bag, now with several slimes in it, and... shakes it vigorously. The wet sound of slimes being shaken in a garbage bag is fairly unpleasant. Then he loosens his grip and peers into the bag one more time.]

    ... maybe we need all of 'em.
    drugsnotclubs: (57)

    [personal profile] drugsnotclubs 2025-11-19 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
    I mean, they might not need a lot of space. You could stack 'em.

    [And lose any possible floorspace in his room, if his shit dungeon room is anything like Shinjiro's. So.... Maybe not.

    And boy, that is a terrible noise. Slimes squelching and plastic crinkling wetly and the bounce of his shakes making it sound like the messiest goddamn fucking in the world. His nose wrinkles, but he doesn't outright comment on it. Because look, weirdos gonna weird.]


    Yeah, it's this place. But I figured they'd try and fuck people, not each other.

    [He has no idea how that would work. But he's not putting it past the resort to do it anyway.]

    Like get the whole set? How many you got in there? [Yeah he's just accepted he's on Slime Catcher duty with Aak now. Safety in numbers or what have you. It's just a matter of figuring out which he needs.]

    malpwactice: (💊 silly time)

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-19 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
    [It's not a bad suggestion. And rather than tanks maybe the slimes could get by with really big tupperware containers. What would most likely happen, though, is that the slimes would expend their short lifetime, then the containers would sit there, getting drier and crustier with time. Inevitably, they might create a new form of life all together.]

    [Not as disgusting as the wet, squelching sound of the current slimes but, you know, it's something.]

    [Aak does turn to look at Shinjiro will an absolutely expectant look, though. Yea? The slimes would try and fuck people? his look seems to say. And it's clear that expression hides an immediate impulse to set his captured new pets on someone. And the only person in the room is Shinjiro.]

    [It's just the acceptance of Slime Co-Catcher that stymies Aak's itchy slime-releasing fingers.]


    I- [the syllable is long and drawn out, like he's still really considering if he doesn't just want a slime-and-hobo-show] think I'm missing purple. Yea, purple and that should be all the lil' ones in the bag.

    [Arriving here has stripped Briar of his usual clothing, which has left him in a predicament. He's stuck halfway between human and dragon, like a satyr with scales. He's also not used to walking around for long periods of time in this form, and his feet are getting sore.

    And worse yet, there's some kind of beast here. It's not anything he recognizes, and it seems angry. It's fine, he's been on the other end of this before -- what did everyone do to calm him?]


    Easy. Easy there. [He takes a step back, holding up a clawed hand.] I have no intentions of harming your or your... ah, doooooor...?

    [He really would prefer not to transform and turn this into a monster fight, but...]
    malpwactice: (💊 :o)

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-25 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
    [The step back seems like a good move. Aak's monstrous form had a few priorities that he usually lacked. While seeing someone looking nervous might naturally trigger him impulse to tease and chase he is respecting the door. For now.]

    [The beast doesn't draw closer. Instead, he watches from the distance they're at. Whether someone was a monster or a human didn't really matter when it came to protecting the pathway deeper down. There's still some curiosity about the body shape. He's just not curious enough to chase the other down... yet.]

    [In a kind of restless gesture, the creature takes a few brisk steps, pacing back and forth along the line of his "territory." With a little satisfaction in his mind that this intruder would not cross the line, he settled down on his haunches. The long, fluffy tail curls around to his front and and the tip flicks slightly.]

    [It seems like he's much more cat-like when he's relaxed.]
    scalebind: (pic#18096947)

    [personal profile] scalebind 2025-12-02 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
    [Ah. He looks down at where he's pacing, drawing the on invisible line with his mind. Maybe it's just his own monstrous instincts, but he gets it. Territory.

    Well, that's simple.

    Briar doesn't dare take another step forward. Still, his gaze softens.]
    Alright, I see. But you're not so bad, are you?

    [He makes a soft, keening noise -- as one might pspspsps a cat, and holds his hand out for Aak to sniff.]
    malpwactice: (💊 animal magnetism)

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-12-03 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
    [It's a strange instinct for a person to have. Perhaps that strangeness is why the beast is willing to indulge it. After watching for a few moments, it stands back up and crosses that line of its own accord.]

    [The beast's face is much larger than a humanoid hand. Still, he seems to interact with it. With a bit of a headbutt. He bumps his head against the hand and up the length of Briar's arm.]

    [As he does, though, several bits of powder dislodge from his mane. It seems, even if he's not aggressive, some part of him may be dangerous. Or maybe he did it on purpose, recognizing that someone was doubting his bad boy status! It's hard to tell, really, and he can't vocalize what the truth is either way. The powder works via inhalation and causes a mess of effects throughout the body. Some are good, some are bad. The best one can say for Briar's case is that the amount dislodged from the beast playing around is much less intense than the amount released by an attack.]

    [This place is exhausting. Apparently Takumi's arrival here, in a scantily clad demon outfit, means that he's a "high value" target. It took him a bit to actually figure out what that meant. So he's been dodging eager guests and other monsters for a while.

    And, look, now he's frazzled. He's really just like to find a quiet room he can lay down and try to sleep for a bit. And this room seems small, so maybe he can hole up and... Oh wow, look, it's even got a bed--

    Takumi stops and stares at Aak for a second, not processing what's happening. Oh, it's a shop? Oh. There's someone here. A giant talking cat person. Maybe he's already asleep.]


    I literally have no money. [He replies, flatly, for lack of anything more meaningful to say.]
    malpwactice: (💊 collaboration step-siblings)

    [personal profile] malpwactice 2025-11-25 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
    [While many of the dungeon rooms are empty and dingy, this one does have a bed, blankets, and a person. Aak shuffles up to his knees to actually look at the person invading his privacy. The skimpy outfit catches his eye, as does the absolutely haggard and lost look on the guy's face.]

    [It's rare that a quest target shows up right at his door. Might as well take the opportunity.]


    Ohhh, light pockets, huh. [Empty pockets. No pockets? What sexy demon outfit would have pockets.]

    Well, it's been a while but I'm no stranger to bartering, c'mon, [he gestures for the other to ~step into his parlor~ and by parlor we mean the maybe foot of space before the bed takes over the room.]

    Close the door, you're lettin' the heat out. [The room is a little warmer than the cold stone halls outside but not much.]

    [Yeah the only place he has to keep things is somewhere the sun definitely doesn't shine, and he's not willing to go that far yet.

    He does eventually step in, closing the door. The hallways are cold as hell, and he's clearly shivering a bit.]


    I don't really want anything, you know... [Though his eyes drift to the bed.] Why do you have a bed in your shop? I don't think anyone's gonna buy that.

    Everyone wants something. [He says it simply, matter-of-factly, and it comes off as something way more deep and storied than just part of his usual sales hustle.]

    [He shuffles over to the part of his bed that's closer to his wares. He shuffles a few bottles together. The labels, if Takumi can tell from a distance, are quick scribbles and doodles. They're utterly incomprehensible to someone who isn't their originator.]


    Oh, this is my room. [again, a really airy tone for such an insane thing to say,]

    It don't look it, but this place was a hotel a bit ago. They went ahead and changed everything when I was sleepin'. But why should I have to move from the room they assigned me?

    [he waves his hand dramatically as if to say, that's unfair, right?]
