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!

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.

Shinjiro Aragaki | Persona 3 | 2♦ (Current Player)
THE UPPER DUNGEON - Nympho nymphs, funky flowers, and a single bed. click to expand
♦ HORNY NYMPHS - seriously they are so thirsty
’Come ooonnnn~ [The nymph had been hounding them for a while, fluttering its wings and using the vine in its hand as a playful flogger.] ’Just imagine… This wrapped around your neck, completely at my mercy…~ I’d let you come…. eventually~’
[Also it won’t shut up about wanting to fuck them, in various ways. Right now it’s trying to sell choking, but it’s hardly the first topic it’s brought up as they root through the overgrown forest, climbing up over massive roots and the humbled ruins of some ancient stone structure. Earlier it had been laying across a branch, it’s flower of genitalia on full display as it dripped nectar across the branch, petals lightly fluttering as though grasping for anything near by, and stamens quivering up and alert from between its spread limbs.]
...So can we hit this thing, or what? [Shinjiro growls, already Kind Of Done with it. It was flustering and embarrassing at first- flittering up behind them to whisper in their ears, promising things that they may have never even considered. But as they ignored it, it has only gotten more and more brazen-- now to the point that it is following them outright, flickering in and out to tease and grope and moan. Right now it has it’s dripping, vinelike “tongue” thrust out of its mouth and between two fingers in a ridiculous promise of eating someone out. ]
It counts as a monster, right?
[ooc; please also NPC the horny nymph with me, LOL]
♦ The Dongle Flowers - milk them gently
Should’ve known they’d just be dicks.
[At least Shinjiro doesn’t sound completely surprised about the revelation. A job to go get some sort of flower sap or milk or whatever? Easy, once you got far enough into the dungeon to get there. But of course instead of some kind of pitcher plant to pour out or thick stem to tap into, it’s just….
Well. A field of dicks, basically. All of them not-so-innocently poking up scattered throughout the clearing in the forest. Some of them are bunched into a sort of penis-bush, others stand like really fleshy cattails, and more still have found their way into the crevices between a tree and its roots, sprouting up happily. Hell, they even move like cocks when the breeze catches them. A slight waver here, a twitch or pulse there.
He shuffles the bag off his back, going ahead and digging in it to get the vials they needed to get filled.]
I guess we can just assume how they work… [Yep. Time to get to jacking off flowers. Those chips ain’t gonna earn themselves and a Two’s gotta do what they gotta do.]
♦ Just One Bed - an absolute classic
[He’s exhausted, he’s covered in Dungeon Mess (and god only knows what that’s made of), and of course it’s getting freezing. In true Peacock fashion, the only viable option presented to sleep or even just wait out the wintery storm building up is a cozy little alcove with just enough room for two people. Or more if you’re all very friendly. Nestled innocently inside is the single bedroll, all fur and soft leather and inviting as hell.
His arms are wrapped around himself, as though that helps keep any of his heat from being lost in the gales of wind (that this alcove is positioned just right to shelter them from), and he’s glowering at it.]
...Alright. Guess we’re doing this.
[He had to get fairly cozy when the resort was a campground, and he’s deciding he’s not going to be the one to make a big deal out of it. But he also can’t climb into a sleeping bag with someone covered in dongle flower extract and who knows what else-- so he’s going to start pulling off his outer layers as quickly as he can to minimize the time spent exposed to the elements. Kicking off his boots, balling up his clothes into something that Hopefully Won’t Freeze, and moving to get that bedroll open so it can be closed again.]
You coming, or what?
THE LOWER DUNGEON - Slime rancher, Emotions, and a very real chance of death. click to expand
♦ Be Emotionally Vulnerable… OR DIE -(we seriously might die here fam)
[Alright, the giant boulder and the tumble were stupid, and he’s already rubbing his leg from where he landed funny. Nothing’s broken or anything, but it’s definitely gonna be a hell of a bruise. Add to it a giant, booming voice telling them the instructions for this ‘game’ and he’s rolling his eyes.]
Like this place would let us die…
[He says, just as the lights flash dramatically to reveal the wall of spikes approaching from the darkness it had been hidden in. They sure do look Solid and Pointy. And the wall is pretty big, so that’s a lot of force behind it? He doesn’t sound quite as sure when he adds:]
Seriously, though. This is just for the danger kink people, right?
[…..right????]
♦ Slimes Ahoy - they’re so cute, collect ‘em all!
[ooc; I’m good with any/all/none slime effects! I will probably skip purple for Shinjiro, but your character is welcome to it if they’d like.]
I dunno if I hate these or the fish with vag’s more.
[The reverse mermaids were horrifying enough-- huge giant eyes staring blankly as they assumed position, ready to have the blub-glub fucked out of them. But these things are innocent-looking and multicoloured and tenacious in the way they stalk, which can only mean it’s probably a bad idea to let them catch up.
A small one splorches down off the ceiling, landing on Shinjiro’s shoulder and bouncing off to roll and flop onto the ground, thankfully having a bit too much velocity and hitting at a shallow enough angle so that it doesn’t just stick there. It makes him look up at the way the ceiling rocks and pulsates with the translucent creatures, bobbing and ebbing as they move along towards them.]
...Alright, it’s these ones. At least the Cuntfish just lay there. Which way?
[‘Cause fam it’s a sewer dungeon and he’s lost.]
[Feel free to hit me up with whatever you’d like! Hanging at the market? Arguing over the last barstool at the tavern? Trying to find their shit basement rooms in the dungeon? Tag me with anything, or hit me up and we can plan something out.]
slimes - okay but consider mother slime..
[ he can't help but remark. somehow, it sounds even funnier in dan heng's deadpan voice.
but anyway, here they are, making their way through these watery paths that feel very comfortable for a water dragon, indeed. they've come a long way by now, but there is still further to go, and dan heng frowns up at the cascading slimes above, slowly making their way near. one drops onto shinjiro's shoulder. another barely misses dan heng's head.
hmm. after a moment's thought, he transforms into a long, sinewy dragon, just as the slimes begin to rain down. ]
Hop on.
SLAMS THE APPROVAL BUTTON
I guess that's what we're calling them now.
[Which isn't fair to the fish. Plenty of them had Other genital Configurations. penises, wriggling parts, who knows what else. But 'cuntfish' seems to be what sticks.
Dan Heng's transformation, though, draws his attention completely away from his own dry humor-- and he can't help but stand in awe for a moment as the dragon form rolls out in the water as if it had belonged there the whole time. Lengths of scales and muscle and claws and teeth. And it's-- beautiful? He'd never been one to really pay too much attention to art or that sort of thing, but the long, elegant lines are such a change from the harsh dungeon atmosphere that it takes him a moment to realize that Dan Heng just suggested he ride him.
In. A normal dragon-riding way and not a sexual way, but that way would be fine, too and--]
-Yeah. Yeah, sure. Damn. [It's an appreciative 'damn'. And so he awkwardly finds a way to climb aboard in a way that hopefully doesn't feel too dehumanizing to Dan Heng. The scales are sleek and smooth, the muscles underneath moving seamlessly, and it puts him in awe, once again, and just how much there is to this man.]
...You look good like this. [It's a tease, but it's also true. His thighs tighten slightly around either side of his length, and he nods once he feels at least a little secure.] Lemme know if you need me to change up anything.
WAGGLES EYEBROWS
anyway, he's not unused to people being a little bit in awe of his draconic form, and he would be blushing visibly were he humanoid - thankfully, it doesn't show through his scales. he glances away and instead makes himself useful, lowering his long body to make it easier for shinji to climb up onto his back while the slimes close in ever nearer. ]
.. thank you.
[ he says quietly, clearing his throat, abashed, but shinjiro seems comfortable now, and holding fast, so dan heng begins to move, streaking forward through the winding passages, narrowly missed by another few falling slimes. these corridors aren't overly large, but dan heng is agile in this form, cutting like a ribbon through the air, his claws skimming the water below, shinjiro's warm weight a pleasant feeling. ]
Keep an eye above us, let me know when the slimes have thinned.
[ so he can keep his gaze fixed forward. ]
no subject
Sure thing.
[It's not a straight carpet of slime on the ceiling, but in some places it may as well be: some of them flattened and resting, others drooping down. With no expression or anything it's impossible to tell if their movements are purposeful or just on instinct. If there's an inquisitive drive that has them leaning towards them when they pass by, or if they're just heavy and ready to fall.]
...Less of 'em that way, I think. [He leans forward, higher up on Dan Heng's neck, and points to one of the branching corridors coming up on their right. There's less of the things spotting the walls and ceilings. as far as he can see, at least. Or maybe its the same amount, but they're all smaller. Their size meaning they're spread farther apart. Either way: less likely that one is going to come tumbling down onto them.]
It's a maze in here, huh.

horny nymphs
[ the nymph is targeting the wrong crowd. alhaitham doesn't know shinjiro, but the surly annoyed expressions communicate enough if the outright threats of violence didn't get the message across. he's seen enough to know to be wary of (erotic) repercussions, however, as much as he understands the urge to resort to violence. he makes effort to not pay the nymph much attention while it continues it's insufferable antics. he's not flustered, but the behavior is grating. exhausting, honestly. is this supposed to be enticing? his grimace makes it clear, he doesn't think so. ]
As satisfying as violence may be, you may wish to exercise caution.
[ it seems a little too brazen, taunting them like this. suggesting it's not afraid of violence or all the taunting is merely a distraction. alhaitham doesn't really care. he'd just like his space to be respected. he mostly regrets finding his way onto this floor since finding out the vegetation is so... handsy.
he exhales an exhausted sigh as the nymph's vine cracks, whipping across shinjiro's ass with teetering laughter. ] Do you want to go first~? Bend over, baby!
[ the people of the akademiya always gave him extra space. no chance he would ever encounter behavior like this there. ]
... Anyway, what makes you think it won't enjoy you hitting it?
no subject
Can't be worse th-
[He growls at takes a swipe at the nymph as it bounces back happily after slapping that vine across him. His fingers catch nothing but air, but just the act of (useless) resistance soothes his pride a bit.]
...alright, yeah, it could probably be worse.
[If it could just stick to being handsy like the floraz he might be able to ignore it better. It's the mattering and giggling and fluttering up to whisper that really grates on him. Like now, as it straddles a branch they have to pass under, undulating its body against a knot in the tree, it has to moan and cry out about it.]
For all we know, it's getting off on us ignoring it, too. This is as obnoxious as the goldfish with the foot thing...
[Don't worry about that.
The nymph curls it's legs around the branch and rotates, now hanging down in front of them and stroking it's weird plump plant lips, looking from each man to the other.]
'Orrr~ if you don't want us, you could let us watch! My sap makes the best lube ...
[He sighs ] ...Not to be a pessimist, but I don't see anything about this dungeon getting better from here.
no subject
alhaitham doesn’t find the estimation that the nymph is getting off regardless too far off anyway.
the dull look he fixes on the nymph should be enough to answer its irritating questions. no, he’s not interested in the nymph or his current company like that. ]
Sorry, we’re not interested in spectators. [ he gestures vaguely with a hand at shinjiro. ] And sap doesn’t sound particularly hygienic to put in any orifice. We’ll pass.
[ anyway, he turns back to shinjiro. ]
I don’t believe you’re being pessimistic when that just sounds like the truth.
[ in the background (foreground to anyone besides alhaitham) the nymph has stuck its fingers into its mouth, sucking lewd and loud before popping its fingers out. ]
Let us string him up for you, hanging pretty and helpless from our vines!
[ the way its eyes flit between the two of them, alhaitham hardly knows whom is being addressed. they’ve both been thoroughly groped. it doesn’t seem to have a favorite between them. alhaitham ignores it. ]
What was that about a goldfish and feet?
[ the nymph leans in towards them, feigning a very fake very dramatic gasp, before purring closer to shinjiro’s ears — ]
You’ll get treasures! He’s a monster!!
no subject
Ignoring it definitely seems to be for the best. As much as it teases and tempts and taunts and harasses, it hasn't exactly forced them into any situation. It just seems like another sort of "encouragement" that so many of the long-time resort goers love: Just enough suggestion to give someone plausible deniability or fall into the roleplay of doing something they don't want (when they do.)
He shakes his head with a sigh as he's asked about the fish.]
There was some kinda... festival thing a few months back. You could catch goldfish, if you wanted. [He rolls a shoulder in a half shrug.] A friend of mine caught one and gave it to me, but it wouldn't shut up about wanting to suck on her toes and shit....
[And then when they had thrown it to the ground, it had a great pantyshot view and needed to be quickly retrieved.]
`Oh! Oh me! I'll suck on your toes too!~ Or you can do mine...'
It's just more of the nonstop bullshit in this place.
[The nymph is now leaning into Alhaitham's space, twiggy fingers playing at the fabric of his shirt, constantly swapping its attention between the two of them.] `You're so tense..... take off your shirt, a massage will do wonders for you...'
(no subject)
there was only one bed.....
Man, he really got coated in…. Well, it’s only appropriate to say “stuff” at this point. Some of it he can guess (the dick flower jizz and pollen, he’s sure is some of it), and other bits of it he’s not really sure he wants to know.]
You didn’t get anything suspicious coated on your skin, did you? Or eat anything weird…
[Someone does not feel the cold, because someone is a fire demon. How lucky! And very good for getting cuddled nicely and warming someone up.
But the way Kazuya asks, he doesn’t sound wary, but more amused.
Nah, he doesn’t mind if this turns to a weird little romp. They’ve had weirder already.]
no subject
[His words are grouchy but that's mostly because he's cold. Bitching might not actually warm the soul, but it at least makes him feel a little better. Still, it's worth running his hands over himself to be sure-- with all his layers he'd be surprised if the algae or dongleflower milk or drops from assorted other horny plant life had gotten through them, but there's no telling with this place.
Anyway, that's all the seconds he's willing to spend barechested in the cold, so he's gonna root into that bedroll before responding.]
No, I'm good. Though it's gonna suck to put that shit back on once we head out.
[Note to self: bring changes of clothes to the dungeon next time. Then you don't have to put back on your crusty dongle-stained shirt.]
no subject
[His boyfriend is a notorious Fridge Bandit. However, Kazuya has no clue! Yet. There will, eventually, come a time when he will find out this horrific information that Narukami Yu will put anything in his mouth.
Anyway.
Kazuya hums lightly to himself, taking a few steps forward towards the bed roll. Poor Shinjiro looks absolutely miserable, and while he's not effected in the slightest, Kazuya knows that he can certainly spare some warmth for the poor guy.]
Shove over, one cuddle, coming in hot.
[He's going to tuck himself in that bedroll! Right after giving his shirt and subsequently cloak, a small toss. Just far enough away from the others clothes that if anything nasty is on Shinji's, it wont transfer over to his.]
no subject
[Yet.
And let's be real: even if he had, no one can match the sheer insanity of what Yu Narukami will take out of a fridge and eat. While Kotone eats a lot, she at least has a sense of taste.
He can't even gripe about Kazuya's stupid announcement because the guy is warm, far more-so than the less-than-warmed-up bedroll. As always, Shinjiro is absolute shit and generating his own heat, and doesn't hesitate in getting his hands in there to take some, his muscles clenching and shivering as though to build some up better. The demon can probably spare it, anyway.]
Does this place throw freezing places at us all the time? [First that ice night at the gala, then the frigid temperature drop at the campgrounds, now this... ] I get the goal's to get people to fuck, but it's kind of ridiculous.

flowers................
Now she's cursing her sense of responsibility.
Slowly, the redhead clears her throat and nods. ]
Yes.
However, how do you suppose we... extract the sap from them?
[ Oh god please don't say it. ]
no subject
....You know you can drop the pure act, right?
[He says it easily, as though maybe that might be something she hadn't ever considered or given herself permission to do. It makes sense, given her status back home-- but here? Where they all have to regularly have sex with a multitude of people and the resort is constantly themed around it?
He's at least nice enough not to stare her down as he says it, instead crouching next to a batch of the flowers and frowning at them. Damn the height and position of these things is gonna make it awkward.]
If you're that bothered, you can go back. I know you don't have to buy meals and shit. [Benefits of a high rank! But at the same time, it's an offered out. He's noticed Mitsuru's difficulty speaking plainly. Even now, two years into life here at the Peacock, she keeps her regal demeanor and firm control over the way she's perceived.]
I'll catch up in a bit.
no subject
You're right, I do not have to buy meals "and shit", as you put it so delicately as usual.
[ Forgive her for thinking she should give you a hand (hur) here, Shinjiro. That Look she gives him says just as much. ] However you do. I said I would assist and I am no coward thank you.
[ Is this really the hill to die on? The thing she needs to make a point about? What point is that even? That she's not afraid to get stuck in with everyone else? Her timing couldn't be worse.
Anyway, still looking him right in the eye as she grabs one of those cocks.
It really doesn't help matters when it seems to twitch a little bit. ]
no subject
See, there you go. Way less weird
[After all, how can he jack off a flower in front of someone who can't even refer to sex casually half the time? It also helps smooth over their months of weird tiptoeing and hedging around conversations, both trying not to get into the topic lest their ruined night be brought up again.
(But hey, Mitsuru had broken the seal in that one so--)]
Guess I should say thanks for the assist, then.
[She's already touched one of the flowers, so he'll have to do the same- reaching out to curl fingers around one of the plump flowers, frowning at the way it gives an interested pulse.]
...I dunno if it's better or worse that it's not attached to anyone. At least now I don't have to hear about how bad I am at it.
[Unless the flowers start moaning or whatever. Then it's absolutely worse.]

Dongle flowers
[ Despite being one of the higher "low" cards, and pretty content with his accommodations, Henry can't resist a good quest. He'd been adventuring alone for the most part but wasn't above teaming up if the right opportunity came up. It just happened that he and Shinjiro arrived for the dongle flowers about the same time, and, well, it'd be silly not to join up. ]
If we team up, we can get twice the amount, probably.
[ Twice the ... milking hands...
Sex doesn't really bother Henry on the whole, but this place just takes it above and beyond doesn't it? It's exasperating at this point. But they've come this far, in the end it really has to matter. ]
Sound good with you?
no subject
[Honestly if they didn't look so.... lifelike, for want of a better word? Then sure, whatever. As they are, jacking off disembodied cocks is just kind of an awkward situation. He nods at Henry's suggestion, handing him over one of the bottle for the 'milk'.]
Yeah, sounds good. Bigger reward for both of us.
[And with that he might as well shove his sleeves up past his elbow and grab one of the dongleflowers. His grab might have been a bit rough, though, with the way it curls in-- like too much stimulation without any warm up. And so he sighs and glares at it.]
Are you kidding me.... [Jerking off a flower is whatever. Having to be weird and slow and sensual about it is just weird. And yet here he is, crouching low and bringing up his other hand to hold the stem and start lightly rolling his fingers over the flesh of the flower's petals, rounding out with the curve of it.]
If they want more than a few bottles, I'm hoping these things cum more than we do.... My wrist is gonna get sore at this angle.
no subject
He tries not to sigh as he takes one of the bottles. The reward will be worth it, surely. Surely. And honestly, he's about to take the same approach as Shinjiro, but stops once he sees that's. clearly not going to work. ]
Christ. [ He rubs a hand over his face. ] They're serious?
[ Of course they are!! This place is actually a terror. But he approaches his own flower with a shake of his head. ]
Well, they're ... big enough. I should hope they produce a lot. [ He sets his bottle down and glides his own fingers along the uncomfortably soft and fleshy length of the flower. Then he decides it's probably the right time for an introduction. ]
I'm Henry, by the way.
no subject
[Shinjiro says it dryly as he strokes the dick-flower encouragingly. It's... absolutely not sexy, doing this while completely turned off and just to try and collect the sap for some money. It's surreal and the flowers are weirdly cool instead of hot flesh which really just makes it worse. As far as sex-encouragement games that the resort is always playing, this one is just. Not working.
He lifts his head at Henry introduces himself, and nods.]
Shinjiro. Guess this ain't the worst way to meet here, but it's up there.
[And he's pumping the flower a bit more regularly now as it slowly swells and twitches its interest, one of the vein-like curves of the petals pronouncing itself more. Man. There is just nothing attractive about a disembodied penis.]
...I'm hoping those bottles have wide enough openings or else this is gonna get messy as hell.
(no subject)
be emotionally vulnerable right NOW
[Like, and not in a fun way! Her steps are light and quick as she makes her way over to him, adjusting her boobs fully back into her high-cut armor on her way because this armor was not intended to be bounced in. Nor is it going to be great protection against a huge wall of spikes grinding toward them.]
I don't think we should chance it, Senpai.
[Her hand drops to her Evoker; there probably isn't anything she can do with her Personas against something like that, but it certainly won't stop her from trying. Even if the only thing she can do is put a Tetrakarn on Shinjiro, she won't watch him die again.]
no subject
Right. Okay. So just gotta... think of something.
[What the hell does emotionally vulnerable even mean? His mind is kind of going blank on that one, continually pulled to glancing at Kotone. Because no way he's gonna let her get run through. Like this, at least.]
You got anything? I'm kinda-- drawing a blank here.
[What are emotions?? has he ever felt one??? Obviously yes, but it's hard to concentrate on self-reflection on a good day, let alone when a wall of spikes is slowly dragging towards you. And he's sure that would not be a very quick or painless death. Which is-- whatever for him. It's fine. Right? So why is his heart pounding?]
no subject
Well, if it's just vulnerability... she glances toward the spikes again, stiffening a little at their slow but steady progress forward. Okay, it's up to her. She has to think of something!
She opens her mouth and freezes, suddenly afraid that if she says the things that first come to mind, Shinjiro won't want to spend time with her again, or he might not like her, or he might not want to spend time with her anymore. Her words get stuck in her throat, struggle visible on her face, but it only takes another glance toward the approaching spikes to remind her that her own feelings aren't as important as making sure that Shinjiro stays safe.]
I...
[Think of something!! All at once, she ducks her head, bowing right in front of him.]
I love you, Senpai!!

Had her Shinjiro started to waver, too? Even with just her, rather than an entire fucked up resort full of people that have no choice but to open up and rely upon each other? He has no idea-- he'd never asked, never wanted to ask about their similarities or differences.
Had her Shinjiro died, just as Minato alluded was going to happen to him?]
Hey--
[His hands move to her shoulders, righting her from that bow. His expression is-- mixed, if only because he has no idea how to feel. Of course he isn't really surprised. Of course he understands it, and isn't driven away by the concept. The thought of asking if she meant him or some other Shinjiro doesn't even cross his mind-- after all, it's like how the Mitsuru here isn't the one he knows.
So he wraps his arms around her arms and chest, pulling the smaller girl into him and just... nodding. It's ridiculous and sudden, he doesn't know if he's even capable of loving someone back, but he knows she's thoughtful and caring and the last thing he wants is to rebuff her, hurt her, or drive her off.]
You got real bad taste.
[When in doubt? Deflect! Don't commit just yet! But all the swirling feelings help him figure out his own thing to share, and it's something he's almost ashamed of, stupidly, but he'll blurt out as the spikes keep crawling:]
I... don't think I want to go back. Just to die.
[It's cowardice, it's avoiding responsibility, it's spitting in the face of everything he believes about the importance of following through, but how can he be so single-minded and convinced of it when he's been reintroduced to human connection once again?]
