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!

Comments

🥹 they're so beautiful

[cartographie]

[ The questions stop and start, never fully asked. Nami shakes her head in response before taking a deep breath to try and get a handle on her voice before attempting to reply. ]

To be honest, I've been asking myself the same questions.

[ Complete with the same confused pauses, come to think of it.

Feeling Mitsuru hugs her back makes Nami relax in ways she hadn't been aware she needed to. It's a welcome change from the confusion of the last few hours, and she chases after it greedily, letting her weight shift so she can lean into Mitsuru more fully, inwardly delighted and grateful at the familiar shape of the other woman's body as it slots snugly against her own. ]

I would have said goodbye first, if I knew.

[ And perhaps a few other things as well. Nami's eyes are bright with emotion as she looks down at her friend, studying her face for a moment before she tips her chin down and lets her forehead rest against the other woman's. ]

Can I kiss you hello, instead?

🥹🥹🥹

[icequeenly]

It's not as though you had any control over that.

[ None of them do. They're seemingly entirely at mercy to the whims and fancies of The House. Only this time, Mitsuru is truly thankful to whatever entity decided to bring Nami back - even if that makes her selfish, she can't keep the soft smile off her face or the feelings of warmth in her being. ]

I was afraid you wouldn't remember me.

[ Because what could be more painful than losing Nami only to get her back and then the other woman have zero memory of her or their time together? She closes her eyes as Nami's forehead comes to rest against hers, a soft laugh escaping her. ]

...You could most certainly do that.

women!

[cartographie]

I'm so happy that I do. I don't want to forget you, ever.

[ Nami knows the special kind of pain that comes from finding someone who was once near and dear at the resort, and not being recognized. It's devastating and surreal all at once, something she's very glad Mitsuru's been spared with her. Maybe especially with her. ]

I didn't realize I was gone, but I know I missed you.

[ While she doesn't want to let the other woman go, Nami makes the exception now, unwrapping her arms from around her only so she can cradle the sides of Mitsuru's face, letting the pads of her thumbs brush against the familiar softness of her cheeks as she kisses her, seemingly oblivious to the rest of the winter market still bustling around them. ]

[icequeenly]

Likewise. And I certainly noticed your absence.

[ Acutely.

She'd been mentally bracing herself for the day when she'd lose someone from the resort that she cares about. It wouldn't be the first time after all. Yet for any kind of mental preparation she might have attempted Nami's absence had been a wound to her. One that she hadn't been able to push to one side or ignore no matter how much time had passed since. She'd let her walls down, let Nami in and she had been punished for it - yet she would not take any of it back, not for a single moment of reprieve.

She smiles as Nami kisses her, both out of pleasure at the kiss and out of the realisation at how far she'd come that she would now allow such a thing in such a public space. She tilts her head, allowing the taller woman fuller access to her lips - still smiling at the familiar soft fullness of Nami's own. She'd missed this. ]

[cartographie]

[ Kissing Mitsuru in earnest, she wraps her arms back around the other woman and holds her closer, relishing the way being near her again makes her heart pound. ]

You should probably keep a close watch on me for a while.

[ Nami murmurs against her friend's lips before stealing one more kiss and finishing her thought, half teasing, half selfishly wanting to be anywhere else but right in the middle of this dumb market with her. ]

Make sure I don't get lost again.

[icequeenly]

I quite agree.

[ She's smiling, amused at the implication despite the feeling of losing the other woman still being raw. She's back, here now and that is what matters. ]

Do you wish to retreat somewhere quieter? [ So they can actually talk - amongst other things, if they so choose. ] Although it doesn't appear that the rooms have stayed the same. [ The lobby isn't the only place that's been transformed after all. ]

[cartographie]

[ Nodding, Nami flashes Mitsuru a grateful look, her lips curved in a warm smile of her own. There are too many reasons why, but Nami has never felt more relieved and thankful to be in the other woman's presence as she does right now. Perhaps some part of her remembers the lonely stretch of weeks spent turned to stone. Regardless, she's eager, and doesn't bother to hide it when she answers– ]

Please. I think I wanted that the second I saw you.

[ She slips her hand in Mitsuru's, lacing their fingers together and staying close once the other girl decides to lead them out of the lobby, and somewhere they can be alone. ]

[icequeenly]

[ She smiles softly as they join hands. Such a simple touch and yet further confirmation that the other girl really is back, for real. ]

The suites on the upper levels have remained the same. [ Including hers. ] Or I believe the new tavern doubles as an inn now.

[ Although honestly she would go with Nami anywhere at this point. ]

[cartographie]

[ Nami raises her eyebrows and tilts her head to the side, considering the short trip it would be between here and the tavern, before shaking her head. Another day, tumbling into some rented room with Mitsuru would be a heady adventure, but right now, Nami's feeling soft in the wake of their reunion. ]

Let's go back to your suite. I think I want to be alone with you somewhere there's no check out time to think about.

[ She sounds almost shy as she says it, giving Mitsuru a sweet smile and her hand a gentle squeeze, before a hint of mischievousness sneaks into Nami's expression. ]

Besides, I would be lying if I said the elevator ride up to your place isn't appealing.

[icequeenly]

[ The choice sounds good to her too and she chuckles softly, squeezing the other woman's hand in return as she starts leading her through the market to said elevator. ]

Well the pictures are still there if that's what you're hinting at. [ Unfortunately in her view but still. She'd long since given up trying to have them removed permanently. ]

[cartographie]

[ At that, she has to laugh. Their opinion of the art differs greatly, as Nami is exactly the sort of person to enjoy having her ego catered to. She almost misses the art that hung in her private elevator, and, truth be told, always enjoyed catching sight of the pieces in Mitsuru's. But– ]

Not at all what I mean.

[ The smirk on her face deepens as she leans in and presses a kiss to the other woman's temple as they reach the bay of elevators, where she lingers by Mitsuru's, waiting for the doors to slide open so she can usher them both inside. ]

I was mostly thinking about passing the time on the long ride up.

[icequeenly]

[ She can't keep the smile off her face as the doors open, albeit briefly closing her eyes with a soft sigh as she feels the other woman's lips against her temple. It has been so long after all... ]

My elevator has been known to be rather slow at times.

[ Not really, but you know. Any excuse as they both step inside and the doors close again. ]

[cartographie]

[ She's already grinning wide and moving closer, not bothering to wait for the doors to slide closed all the way before her arms wrap around Mitsuru's waist, and she can pull the other woman flush against her as she leans down to kiss her again. ]

I'm so happy to see you.

[ Nami mumbles the words against her lips between kisses, her tongue brushing against the other woman's as her hands move over her hips, palming the slight swell of that familiar curve, as the warmth of her affection and the building heat of her desire meld into a sweet, sharp hunger that only more of this can hope to satisfy.

She fans the fingers of one hand over the other redhead's ass squeezing and kneading gently as her other palm skims up Mitsuru's side until the tips of her fingers brush the side of her breast. ]

Tell me we can stay together for the rest of the day, until tomorrow?

[icequeenly]

And I you.

[ She devours the other woman's mouth with equal fervor, enjoying every second of re-familiarising herself the softness of the other woman's body against her own as she wraps her arms around her neck. Nami's hand on her ass has her gasping, a soft moan escaping her lips into their kiss. Her body's response is immediate and intense, taking her breath away with a rising need inside of her. ]

We can. I cannot think of anything better right now.

[cartographie]

[ Even kissing her, with all the need and want she feels, isn't without an ache of longing. She had been oblivious as a statue, and now that she's glaringly aware of how much Mitsuru's missed her, it's almost as though she's doing her own sort of belated pining. They've both been here a long time, and even though they don't talk about it, Nami is keenly aware of how that isn't without an element of loss. It's very likely, that, much like herself, Mitsuru has dealt with her share of friends and lovers turning to stone.

She knows that pain, and hates that even though she didn't intend for it to happen, she's been a source of that for Mitsuru. ]

Me either.

[ Her arms tighten around the other woman, compelled by her train of thought, and she kisses her again, firmer, not caring about trying to tamp down the glaring need that's seemingly rocketing through her every cell at this moment. ]

Mitsuru–

[ Turning them slightly, Nami walks Mitsuru backwards, until she's pressed against the wall of the elevator, keeping her there as her hands work almost frantically to unfasten and pull off Mitsuru's clothing, as well as her own. ]

Keep me close, don't let me go anywhere.

[ That sense of urgency doesn't diminish, as Nami's hands find the waist of the darker redhead's panties, her kissing an earnest trail downwards as she moves to kneel between the other woman's thighs, her every thought seemingly focused on losing herself to every inch of this wonderful person's being, and shaking off the last of that horrible stony feeling that still chills her skin. ]

[icequeenly]

[ She hadn't expected things to start happening this quickly, however much she might have yearned for it. Clothes peeled away before they've even reached her suite, it seems entirely natural not to wait any longer...

The younger redhead is about to let out a sound of protest as Nami breaks the kiss, only to surrender utterly once the other woman's mouth moves elsewhere as she kneels before her. Every kiss brings a shiver of anticipation, heat rising between them and an uncontrollable ache of need and longing growing between Mitsuru's legs. She reaches to run her fingers through Nami's hair, a soft groan of want escaping her, ]

I won't, you aren't going anywhere-

[ Her panties are wet and she can barely control the urge to arch her back against the wall of the elevator and grind herself against the other woman's face, such is her desire for her attention. She swallows, her face deep red. ] Nami - I need you.

[cartographie]

You have me. [ The flush on her skin darkens as she pulls Mitsuru's panties off and lets her gaze sweep up the other woman's body, grinning as their eyes meet. ] And, I think I need you just as badly.

[ Her eyebrows raise almost playfully before she draws close, the fingers of one hand gently easing the folds of Mitsuru's cunt apart to allow her tongue to find her clit, first just to flick the very tip against it, before bringing her lips to that sensitive bud of nerves, sucking almost gently, as her fingers drift lower to circle at her entrance. ]

[icequeenly]

[ God- It's almost too much. To go from all of the emotions that Nami being gone had brought, from missing her presence so badly, to this- She would need the support of the wall more than she initially envisioned it seems. Just that first stroke of the other woman's tongue almost has the younger redhead feeling as though she might come undone, the there is the follow up of Nami's lips, sucking her, immediately making her feel weak at the knees. The sound of it, the feeling- all of it so deeply sensual as to feel overwhelming, Mitsuru almost as the urge to cover her mouth as she moans so loud.

She presses herself against Nami's fingers, utterly unashamed in her neediness for this. She's already soaked and beyond wanting of it, of everything the other woman can give her. Her name is a breathless chant on Mitsuru's lips as she arches her back against the wall, fingers tightening in Nami's soft hair, still not quite able to believe that the pirate girl is back and this isn't also part of some crazily erotic dream of hers. ] Nami- God, Nami-

[cartographie]

[ The heady, heated notion that she plans to do this all night, and would want to do it forever flits through her mind before that thought, like just about everything else in the world, is blotted out by everything Mitsuru. From the heat and taste of her cunt, to the sound of her name tumbling in a hot rush from her mouth, all of it etches its way into her memory, making her heart pound and her cunt ache with the kind of need that can't possibly be sated from just one climax.

For a fleeting moment she draws back to take a breath, her eyes still on Mitsuru's face as she makes up for that loss of contact by pressing three fingers into the velvety clutch of her girlfriend's cunt, moaning as she curls them against the other woman's walls. ]

Fuck, I need you.

[ The words are said low, her mouth close enough to brush Mitsuru's fold before her lips circle her clit once more, sucking at it as she works her jaw in time with her fingers, fucking them into her with swift, short strokes. ]

[icequeenly]

[ She can't possibly hold back anymore, nor does she want to- Nami's fucking of her relentless is the best way imaginable and she almost loses it then and there when the older girl makes such sultry eye contact with her before pressing three fingers into her soaked pussy. She leans heavier against the wall, realising what is about to happen as her fellow redhead drives her closer and closer to the edge.

The sensations in her core and between her legs reach a fever pitch, sending a thundering orgasm right through her being. It's too late for her to realise how far she's been pushed as those thrusting fingers and delicious mouth on her clit draw forth a stream of her release, soaking her panties and likely Nami in the process as she practically sobs out the other woman's name, ]

Nami- Nami, coming so hard- [ It's so good, nearly overwhelming- to have Nami back and for it to begin like this. She can barely get her thoughts straight. ]

[cartographie]

[ She's so caught up in drinking in every facet of Mitsuru's pleasure Nami somehow ends up on the verge of climaxing just from chasing Mitsuru to the peak of her climax, before the slick rush of wet that paints the tops of her breasts and her neck as it soaks her girlfriend's panties make her forget about the lingering, deep ache in her core completely. ]

Fuck you're so gorgeous when you come that hard.

[ Nami sounds breathless when she finally pulls away, still staring up at Mitsuru's face with that hungry look in her eyes as she leans to the side to rest her cheek against the younger woman's inner thigh. She barely has a second to catch her breath before the elevator stops and the doors slide open on Mitsuru's suite. Still caught up in that heady haze, Nami gets to her feet and reaches out to wrap her arms around her girlfriend's waist, pulling her into a kiss. ]

Want to take me to bed now?

[icequeenly]

[ She's still so caught up, still coming so hard that it takes her a moment or two to truly register what it is Nami is saying to her. She's breathing hard, still flushed and wanting more. Perhaps she might have once been embarrassed at what she'd just let herself do in an elevator- even if it is hers- but not so anymore.

There is only one correct response to Nami's question as far as she's concerned. She kisses the other woman back, hot and needy, even despite the fact that her girlfriend had already made her come once. She is so far from done here. ]

As if I would let you go anywhere else. We have some making up for lost time to do after all, do we not?

[ To say that the walk to her bedroom is a hurried affair would be an understatement and once they arrive she can barely wait to get undressed, clothes scattering in all directions across her bedroom floor as she resumes kissing Nami, no less heated than before. In fact all the more so. ]

[cartographie]

[ As content as Nami would have been to linger on her knees and between Mitsuru's thighs, getting her off as many times as she can without leaving the elevator, she is elated to be hustled through her girlfriend's suite, and into the familiar confines of Mitsuru's bedroom.

The moment she's inside, Nami is shedding her clothing, leaving it all in a pile before she reaches for the other woman again, hastily climbing onto the bed as she tugs Mitsuru's hand, leading her along. ]

Come over here, let me feel you against me.

[ Because there's nothing she wants more, right now, than to lay down with her girlfriend and hold her against her while she kisses Mitsuru breathless again. ]

[icequeenly]

[ There is more than a very strong chance that Mitsuru wouldn't exactly have objected to that either- but there is more she wants to do with Nami this evening. So much more. Very much starting with what her fellow redhead had just voiced. She allows herself to be tugged along, finding herself position above the other woman in no time at all, slotting herself neatly between Nami's soft but muscled thighs- utterly familiar to her by now and yet missed after so much time apart. Mitsuru isn't usually one to voice such things but- ]

I missed you- and this- [ Said between kisses that have already been initiated again, each one soft and yet more heated than the last. ]
