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 PINE

► This 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 DUNGONEERING

► One 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 SUNDRIES

► The 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!

i (youre never escaping me)

[roundnround]

[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]

[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.]

[roundnround]

[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.

[malpwactice]

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?]

[roundnround]

Okay, fine. I'd really love a nap.

[And there is a bed, but... he's not just gonna lay down and sleep in some random person's room. Wait, room? Takumi looks around, trying to process the insanity of that.]

And they just turned it into a dungeon? That's pretty rough, buddy. [Assuming he's not still dreaming.] Don't you want to sleep... literally anywhere else?

[malpwactice]

[Oh, hey, sorry Takumi, did you give him an opening? Aak reaches out to grab the other boy's forearm. The palm of his hand is surprisingly human-like despite the fur going up the length of his arm.]

[(Where Takumi has been dressed as a sultry demon, Aak is lounging in an oversized t-shirt and some compression leggings. Life's truly not fair.)]

[Anyways, Takumi will get an inviting tug to fall onto Aak's bed. There's the faint smell of shampoo lingering in the sheets.]

Eh, it's not the worst place I've slept. [His room is still his room, after all. It wasn't like crashing in abandoned apartments or empty warehouses. He'd prefer to have a functional lock back in place but for now it works.] It's comfy enough, right?

[roundnround]

[Takumi wishes he was in an oversized t-shirt, that looks so much more comfortable. Aak grabs his arm and he half-heartedly pulls away, but not enough to actually escape his grasp. And then--

He lands on the bed with a soft "oof", blinking up at the light above him. Huh? His mind spins and then he sits up, looking at Aak with utter bafflement.]

Yes, but it's your bed. Aren't you suppose to tell me to go find my own, or something?

[malpwactice]

Dude, you don't have any cash, you're practically naked, if you knew where your bed was you'd be in it right now.

[In other words, Takumi was totally at the mercy of circumstance. And he happened to be circumstance.]

[Aak leans over to the drawers to pick up one of the bottles. This one was actually further back than the first bunch he was offering. Maybe it wasn't as popular? Or perhaps this one was already tried and tested.]

This one'll put you right to sleep. [he waggles the small vial back and forth] Can't promise sweet dreams, though, that's on you.

[roundnround]

[Okay, yes, those are all good points. Really, he should just leave, because this situation is getting more and more dire by the second.

He stares at the vial, and then shoot Aak a glare.]

Dude. I am not going to drink some mystery potion a stranger gives me. It’s probably poison.

[malpwactice]

[Really, the only way Aak could make his comment more threatening would be to add: "and no one would even notice you were gone!"]

What? Why would I poison you in my own bed? [specifically there, that is]

Like, if you went and started hurling that would just make more mess for me to clean up. Ever worse if you died! Like, think with your head, dude, I get nothing out of poisoning you.

[He settles down next to where Takumi is laying. He may be able to feel a bit of the fluffy tail brushing against the top of his head. But Aak is tapping the bottle against his cheek. Poke. Poke. Poke.]

[roundnround]

[He tries to bat away Aak poking him, even if he doesn't mind the tail. Hm. Fluffy.]

Maybe you're really into that. Maybe you want to, I don't know, dissect me, and the mess with worth it. You've got a whole collection of mysterious vials, how do I know you're not some kind of freak?

[Okay, maybe that was a little too blunt. Takumi sighs.]

I just know someone who would totally take the opportunity to do something weird like that, so I'm a little paranoid.

[He looks around the room again, his eyes catching on the normal clothes. Hm. He points.]

...Hey. Are you selling those? There has to be something I can trade for besides being your lab experiment.

[malpwactice]

[Aak's expression doesn't change with Takumi's accusation. It is a bit funny that he's got it all reasoned out like this. How often was he threatened with being dissected?]

[Oh, so he's got someone like that? Aak's ears twitch. He's lucky he can't perceive people's art styles or the connection would be clear and obvious. Instead, that revelation will have to come later!]

[Aak adjusts, putting one hand on the other side of Takumi's body. He's not putting his weight down on the other just yet but he is trying to form a nice little canopy with his body. Takumi should be extremely aware of whose room he's in and that... he might be a real freak.]

Nah, those are my clothes. [They are so obviously not for sale? He has a clear display shelf? It isn't called a display floor!]

Sometimes I'll share clothes with my close acquaintances, though, y'know, if I think I wanna style them.

[roundnround]

Oh, come on. I just want to borrow them. I swear I'll return them, washed and cleaned and everything! Just look at me, I'm--

[Wait, actually. That gets him to think. He's more than half naked, and in some stranger's bed. Some stranger, who is leaning over him and boxing him in.

Takumi swallows thickly, his face becoming nearly as red as his hair. He can't process whatever it was Aak said.]

Wh. [He scoots away, just a little bit.] What are you doing?

[malpwactice]

[Oh, that's a good shade of red. It matches! Aak inches his body forward to make up for Takumi scooting back.]

I'm seeing if we could be close!

[One of his legs moves, so that Takumi's leg is trapped between two of Aak's. He lowers himself a bit more, so his torso presses against the other's and his lips draw ever closer to the other's face.]

Like I said, you could borrow 'em if we were close. [In other words, quid-pro-quo... if that made Takumi feel any better about it. He'd only be doing it for the clothes! He doesn't have to try and say he likes it or nothing.]

[roundnround]

[Oh. Wow. His fur is really soft and smells nice. He supposes a cat person would probably bathe and clean regularly enough to smell like shampoo and good stuff, but he hadn't really considered that. He doesn't want to be considering that.]

Look, man, I appreciate it, but-- [He looks away, focusing on wherever Aak's tail is.] You're a guy. So.

[That's self-explanatory. Right.]

[malpwactice]

[It doesn't hurt that, with the basements floors in the state they are, Aak's been taking his baths up in the higher rank suites. His shampoo might even smell girly!]

[But he is a guy. For an androgynous voice, his speech and clothes are masculine all the way through. He stops to blink when Takumi voices that objection. It's something he just hasn't heard in so long! Not only the allure of a virgin but also completely un-eroded sense of what relationships were "normal"?]

Come on, man. That demon costume is not meant to lure in girls. [he taps on the other's exposed abdomen]

Can't you just close your eyes or something~? It all feels the same once it's going on.

[roundnround]

[Yeah, Aak is pretty androgynous. It does help. No, why is he thinking about things helping?

Takumi almost yelps when he's tapped, but he does look down.] Wh-- girls like abs. Don't they? [Not that he's got the most impressive set. He never seems to be able to put on muscle, despite everything...

For a second, Takumi actually tries to imagine it. It all feels the same? How can that be? Well, he supposes if you're sticking your dick in anything, but...]

Still! [He huffs, flushing.] I doubt it feels the same for whoever's getting, um, you know. Being the girl in the situation.

[Sorry. He's not used to... talking about this kind of thing.]

[malpwactice]

[Tragically, the strongest hemoanima in the world cannot give a boy abs. His muscles are at least deemed "not pathetic" by Aak when he pats down on them. He puts them in the category of a guy who maybe does a sport as a hobby.]

Ehhh, the girls I know wouldn't be impressed. [then again the girls he knows would also probably be in favor of forcefem fridays]

[But none of those girls are here to snipe his prey. His eyes linger over the other's face, like trying to track the exact moment he's imagining something dirty. How does he imagine it first? Does he think about jamming it in? Or does he consider, for a moment, getting penetrated himself? Aak's grin only widens when he asks the question. If he wasn't even slightly considered it, no way he'd ask something like that.]

Oh? [his tail flicks] Did you imagine being the girl? We can start small, if you're scared.

[roundnround]

What? [He sounds, for a second, like he might cry. Like not impressing the girls is the most disastrous thing in the world. He is stuck in a sex purgatory, how is he gonna survive if he can't impress girls?

But, right, that brings them back to this issue. Takumi swallows thickly, wanting to argue and rebuff Aak, but some kind of heat stirs in his belly. He spares a glance at Aak's clothes again.]

...And you swear you'll give me some clothes if I do? [If nobody finds out, it totally doesn't count, right?]

[malpwactice]

[Takumi, buddy, of the girls they have to pick from half have a sadistic streak a mile wide! ... and half are only into girls. Some are both halves overlapping.]

[Who cares about that, though? Aak's eyes are lit up at how Takumi responds. He's a bad negotiator, Aak thinks. Or, perhaps, he really was that curious about it. A guy who really couldn't stand it might try and suggest the positions be reversed or something similar.]

[He wouldn't have minded riding a guy to make him question his sexuality but getting to play this way?]

Of course! [he chimes, maybe not sounding the most reassuring, but who cares?]

I'll style you up real nice after. [He slides his hand down the other's nonexistent abs, to where the scanty demon-themed bottoms are covering things. He teases his fingertip under the waistband.]

[roundnround]

[Honestly, he might be kind of into that? He doesn't realize that, but. Like...

Anyway. He is a bad negotiator. He's not even a very good leader, as far as he's concerned. And somehow, this doesn't feel like something worth spending that much time resisting.

He lays back and watches Aak, but it's hard not to be nervous. Even when that furred hand runs so smoothly over his stomach, near his waist, making warmth pool.] So, how... how does this actually work? I mean, I know you stick it in, but--

[malpwactice]

[A fluffy ear twitches.]

I 'unno, how much detail do you want, dude? [there's a small laugh, a little lift and fall of his chest]

It's not like porn, you don't just go at it. Well, you could, but it'd suck for both of us. And I don't want you gettin' all traumatized on your first night here!

[He chats idly, wiggling down the clothes to expose Takumi even more. At a certain point he does pause to lean over and grab something from a bedside stand. That stretch and reach does mean that he's practically laying his stomach over the younger man's face. When he pulls back and Takumi can actually see again he's got a small bottle in his hand.]

And stuff like this is gonna be your best friend. [he wiggles the bottle back and forth.]

[roundnround]

I don't watch that kind of stuff! [He doesn't specify if he means porn in general or just gay porn. Honestly, he hasn't watched any at the Academy, but mostly because he's not clever enough to make it in the Gift-O-Matic.

He bites his lip when Aak exposes him, flushing more. For how average he is otherwise, Takumi's a bit largr than average. His one point of pride, perhaps. He's still pretty soft, but there seems to be some blood flow going on. His hemoanima is, after all, surging.]

What... [He's a little distracted by the pleasant smell of Aak's belly fur in his face just a minute ago.] What is that.

[malpwactice]

Oh yea? I can send you one with me in it. [Two years at the Golden Peacock means he can say that without an ounce of sarcasm or joke energy. There was only maybe one or two of the arranged movies they had starred in that he was actually embarrassed about. There were plenty that were just something he would do anyways.]

[Maybe he'd send the one where he "took on" an equally "heterosexual" thug... Takumi would have to acknowledge, seeing Genya's abs, what you needed to achieve to count as having them here.]

[His lips curve up at the other's cock, hand briefly hovering over the space before completely ignoring it and tracing circles on his thigh.]

'S lube. [Another simple answer to a simple question.] Otherwise it's gonna be a real pain in the ass, you know? [hehehehehe]

[roundnround]

You-- what? Really? [He doesn't like how much that kind of thrills him. Maybe Aak's the perfect way to ease into men, since he's androgynous and nonhuman. Like a fluffy cat. Briefly, Takumi thinks Hiruko would like him. Actually, maybe Eito would too. That's a weird thought.

But he stop thinking about anyone else pretty quickly when Aak's hand is on his thigh. His dick twitches eagerly and Takumi sucks in a little breath.]

Oh. [He'll pretend he understands.] I mean, isn't it gonna hurt anyway?
