Exciting news! The Phoenix Casino has undergone a renovation. Guests are invited to come enjoy refreshed facilities, games, and lounges. We don't think you'll ever want to leave!

[Over the last thousand years, Douman has largely been the one being served drinks. He's not terribly keen on the sudden change, and less keen on the outfit change. Some male bunnies are walking around bare-chested in speedos, but not Douman. He's a six-foot-tall, grown man walking around in a female bunny suit with fishnets all the way up to his hips. He's used to the heels, at least.
[It's not the lack of dignity, really. It's serving expensive cocktails to other people when he should be the one drinking them. This is supposed to be his dream vacation! He also does not have the chest for this outfit. Couldn't they at least given him a fake pair of tits or something?]
Here you are. [Pleasant as punch! He hands the drink over. Why isn't he smiling?]
2 - judgmental john;
Now, this is an interesting game...
[Douman doesn't like it, but that isn't clear. He sounds and smiles intrigued, something smoldering in mismatched eyes as he watches the painting. They narrow. He turns to his partner, a fellow trapped guest.]
You first. I'm so well-behaved, it's hard to think of anything.
3 - dirty dice;
[Now this is the game he's been waiting for. Douman has no oppositions to drinks, gambling, and sex on an all-inclusive resort, but after spending half his time serving drinks or trapped in the bathroom, he's eager to engage as a proper guest. He inclines his head toward the person (or people) across from him.]
I'll give you the first roll - before I do, though...
How do we feel about raising the stakes?
4 - date night;
[The lounge is a nice change of pace. Douman is usually warmly and thoroughly drunk by the time he gets there. The sex has been enjoyable enough without all the social foreplay, but he doesn't mind a date, or the opportunity to get to know someone. The first question amuses the over one-thousand-year-old youkai.]
What, in your opinion, makes a "good life"? Big picture.
wildcard/prefs; ((Hello! I'm Pan! Feel free to wildcard anything @ me and hit me up via pm or plurk @ pantheraliam if you want to plot.
((Douman is over 1,000 years old but appears about 20. M/F, M/M, and M/NB is all good. 18+ will need some CR development, but I'm interested in gen to start and smut eventually. Here is his permissions post & kink list.))
[ He should have expected something like this. Really, it's his own fault for making use of the restrooms within the casino at all and not just going back to his own room. Stupid, stupid...
Maruki heaves a sigh, eyes roving from the painting to the man at the sink next to him as he dries off his hands. ]
Do I look like someone who isn't well-behaved?
[ His sweater vest is tucked into his trousers, so... ]
[ And he is! He's been a good little boy at the resort, playing along with all their games, appeasing the House and his suit alike by engaging in carnal pleasures on a regular basis.
Back home? Well. ]
Then again, I suppose we all "trample on virtue" [ finger quotes and everything, he's so unbearably dorky ] just by going about our daily lives here...
[The exclamation notably comes before Akira turns to his server to accept what was simply the most expensive drink on the menu.]
When I was watching earlier, I thought they might pass my order on to you if I moved over here. [No hello? No how have you been? No, there's something far more important to get to first.] How come you're dressed so funny?
[Hey. Takahashi is a hard-working doctor. He deserves a vacation just as much as Douman does. He's a little surprised to see him, but it isn't shocking or anything. It's just all the more humiliating, serving someone he knows.]
It's part of the job, I'm afraid. [At least he's used to being asked that question.] I didn't realize you were here as well, Takahashi-sensei.
[The job? Figuratively, then, like some kind of game? Or.. Wait.]
Ohh, so they found a loophole. Here I thought they were just keeping the new guests preoccupied again. Maybe you're not considered guests before your markings form..?
But, that's right! I wouldn't have been away all this time if I had a choice. There aren't nearly as many patients here!
[ Date is absolutely here for the food, thanks. He's starving and while he could go back to his suite and make something, he's feeling lazy and a little drunk so... dates it is! And so, he's sitting across from Douman, picking at the charcuterie they've been given, eating up his salami and cheese cracker when Douman asks the question.
Huh. Hm.
He pastes a bright smile on his face — ]
Big picture, huh? Well, a good life is like a good porno mag. Full of excellent splash pages, niche material, and a good amount of sweetness to fill the margins.
[Matoba, seated at a roulette machine he is not playing, plucks the drink up off the tray and holds it up in front of him for just a moment. In the glow of the casino, he examines the color of the liquid and the bubbles rising to the rim before raising his eye to the corner of Douman's.]
[It's rare, in this ayakashi space where overlapping presences will overwhelm given the chance, that a signature breaks through the static. But face to face with an interesting specimen, it's impossible to miss the way this presence sits, pressing on his synapse, like sinus pressure.]
Thank you. A shame they couldn't find you a costume that fit, [He brightly comments, head tilting to show off his smile. His bangs, which hang in a curtain around his face, shift over a protective ofuda fashioned over his right eye, ink marking it like a bullseye.] But I suppose newbies have to take what they can get when just starting out.
[Sinus pressure makes his personality bad, you see.]
[Oh, so we're making snide comments. Douman cocks one eyebrow up, expression otherwise rather flat, ever flattening.]
It's certainly not a conventional way of welcoming new guests.
[What's with that eye...? Douman was asked to uncover his for the sake of the outfit. Fine. Whatever. He's not ashamed of the dark black scar crawling across the right half of his face. This guy might feel differently.]
The house does so love ensuring that guests "jump right in", [Matoba continues as dryly as before, although at least this time the target seems to be elsewhere than Douman. Sort of.] The less between you and someone else, the better.
[Aha. Of course like would be enticed by like. For youkai, the whims of this realm's game must seem more like a fun diversion to a life of doldrums than an offense to one's freedom and person.]
[Distaste curls Matoba's smile and the rim of his eye in a way he doesn't bother to disguise.]
Just over a quarter of the deck, I think, [Matoba hums, running his fingertip along the rim of his drink, tilting it back and forth in the glass as he mentally counts.] Someone did run a survey recently, and it seems I'm not doing half bad. Shall I give my appraisal of the masses?
Diamonds are an easy quarry, constantly beset by flares by their suit. Clubs, my brethren, are amenable to a fair trade, if you know which buttons to press. I don't get along with many Hearts. And Spades are the slipperiest bunch, difficult to pin down.
What do you think? [He raises his cup with a little 'cheers' gesture and brings it to his lips.]
[That's- hard. It's not exactly something he has an answer to normally, but one that he would usually craft based on what the other person likes, or what he thinks they want him to say.
But something about this guy... It's hard to read.
He can make a guess. He's an adult, so what would he expect from Akira...]
I guess... a good job, getting married. Having kids in a nice little home.
[He holds himself back from flinching noticeably. Something about it makes him feel a little too seen.]
I haven't thought about it a lot, honestly. If I had to say anything else... [He rolls his glass of water, watching the ice clink together.] ...Being around the people I care about. As long as they're in my life in some way, that's all I really need.
[It's honest. More honest than Akira really wanted to be, but... If he gives up an honest piece of himself, maybe that will be enough to satisfy his questions. It's a gamble, a gauntlet placed down.]
[ One of the things that Jade enjoys, above all things, is watching people struggle. Seeing their discomfort. Usually he likes being the architect of making another person wriggle around like bait on a hook. Just because some of the acts that the resort would force them into are intimate or sexual in nature doesn't matter to him. Doesn't bother him.
These casino games? Oh they have potential, yes. Mostly that's what he's here to do, though. Just watch. Yet someone asking him about raising the stakes? Jade looks calm. Poised. Polite and well mannered. Even his chuckle and and expression are "gentle." ]

HERE WE GOOO I was hoping you'd choose this one
[However:]
Looks can be deceiving. Are you well-behaved?

N-not really...
[ Regardless of the niche Maruki has found with a handful of people, he knows that the glitzy casino life will always be a poor fit for him.
He glances back at the painting, brows pinching in. ]
Can it be something small? Sometimes I try to help cats get down from trees, and they clearly don't want my help.
no subject
[It makes him blunt.]
Is this some kind of performance? Manhandling kittens isn't a sin. Surely, you can't be that naive.
[He's a grown man! Then again, it does sound like something Haruaki might say...]
no subject
You ought to go first, then. You know, to set the tone...

Fine. A confession from me? Sometimes I dock my employees' paychecks merely anticipating what they might do that day.
I'm usually right, however.

"Porno mags", huh? That's old-fashioned. I thought most people watched porn on their computers these days.

[At that, Douman can't help the little smile that tugs on his lips, mismatched eyes flashing.]
It's an enticing game. [Not that it's hard to get Douman to gamble.]
