TDM 14



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

Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our mid-rank suites for all new arrivals. We ask current mid-rank guests to welcome any new arrivals that may temporarily be assigned to their room while we process reservations.

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!

Additionally, the casino will be hosting an upper rank soiree at the end of the month. All guests rank 9 and above are invited to attend. Any +1s of low rank may only attend as a pet or personal attendant. Otherwise, low ranks are not welcome.

We aim to have all guests moved into their suites as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience! 】



PHOENIX REBORN
A CASINO ROYALE
THE FLAME OF FORTUNE ► The Phoenix Casino has been reborn in a sea of red. Cool tones have been replaced with brilliant bursts of warmth, from rugs to hanging decor. Long-standing guests, thrilled with the unexpected update, have flooded the casino with renewed vigor. Four large cards, a King of each suit, hang overhead and watch the masses below with unsettling gazes.

All clocks have been removed. Time flows strangely, blending hours and minutes, making it difficult to judge how long one has spent inside. Yet the long-standing guests do not seem to care, tirelessly gambling and hitting the slot machines, some to the point of passing out right in the middle of the casino. There are times that some of the long-standing guests look particularly ghoulish, as if their souls have been drained away. Yet at other times, they look perfectly fine, back to gambling with relish.

With the change of style comes a change of staff. It's a temporary measure since the usual servers have taken vacation en masse. New dealers have uncanny smiles and sharp eyes; they are quick to catch guests trying to cheat at the tables. These dealers are willing to take bets beyond chips, like days off a gambler's lifespan or increments of their power. The more drained guests become, the more energetic these dealers appear.

► The ghost hands are particularly active in this bright new casino. These meddlesome phantoms purposefully mess with the games to change the outcomes, give guests particularly embarrassing tasks, or to stir up trouble at the tables. They also rig some of the games to get the sexy outcomes they want, gleefully rubbing their floating selves together when they get their way. So, if your character's suddenly found themselves caught in a stroke of awful luck, there might be a ghostly culprit!

► Guests are not forced to stay in the casino for any particular length of time. They may come and go as they please. However, they may find that what feels like five minutes checking out the casino has actually been a day away from their room. If they spend too long in the casino, their energy will drain and they may feel light-headed, as if they've been sucked of their vigor to the point of fatigue.
WILDCARDSDue to several staff members taking their paid time off during an unexpected casino reno, managers snatch up the opportunity to put these new wildcards to work before they're properly sorted. They don't really count as guests yet, right? It's a dire situation. There's so much work to do and so few hands! With these excuses, desperate managers snatch wildcards from wherever they may be and throw them into open service positions throughout the casino.

All wildcards dragged to work are required to dress up for their new job. Wait staff that serve drinks around the casino floor are required to dress as sexy casino bunnies. Entertainers who dance and strip for the amusement of casino guests are required to dress up as feathered show-birds. Janitors that scrub stains out of the carpets must be topless and wear sexy maid-style bottoms, either a skirt or butler trousers. They're asked to fill every role aside from dealers, since those positions have been filled by the house.

► Though wildcards have been employed without consent, casino managers aren't totally heartless. Wildcards are only required to work 24 hours across the month for their new job and these 24 hours do not need to be consecutive. Once they've hit the threshold, they will receive their meager pay and a few resort vouchers.

► Wildcards aren't the only guests being dragged into work. Low Ace cards (aces that downgraded into their rank) have also been conscripted to work. Though they're not required to work as many hours as wildcards, the long-standing guests are particularly handsy with them given their special status.
A BATHROOM HOLD-UP ► Bathrooms have been decorated with various paintings and artwork. Nothing amiss happens when a guest enters, but when they try to leave, they may find that the door refuses to budge. All of the portraits will take the opportunity to observe the guest trying to leave, but one of two portraits will take control and demand:
Sinners dare step into MY washroom? Don't think you can leave without confessing your crimes! Those who have trampled upon virtue should be heavily punished. And I ... I will observe this punishment be dispensed. To see it is done right. Ahem.

Judgmental John will demand that guests trapped in his bathroom confess one of their sins, crimes, or sources of guilt. Each stuck guest will be prompted to confess and then they together must decide whose crime is worse. Judgmental John will then preside over the executioner, the guest with the lesser crime, punishing the guest with the worse crime.

▷ While Judgmental John has perverted intentions with his demand and will encourage sexy punishing, he will reluctantly accept any kind of punishment the executioner decides to dole out.

▷ If your character has met Judgmental John before he will definitely remember them. This portrait never forgets a face!

Aren't you cute? Show us some flirting, give us a treat! We'll let you go after you entertain us a bit. What do we like? Anything charming, anything sweet. Even confessions will do! It gets so lonely in here. Imagine watching everyone do nothing but piss and shit before leaving. Don't we deserve some fun?

▷ The Teasing Trio are friendly and looking for a good time. They want to see cute or lightly spicy engagement between the guests they've caught in the restroom. They know how to have fun and aren't taking this trapping thing seriously.

▷ Anything like holding hands, love confessions, emotional moments, and dewy-eyed passionate declarations will please them. It doesn't have to be real, it just has to satisfy their collective cute aggression.

▷ If your character has met the trio before... well, they won't remember. They're too taken up by gossiping with each other to remember everyone they've asked for some entertainment.


GAMES
ROLLING HIGH
DIRTY DICE: WHOLESOME OR WHORE A crowd favorite — Dirty Dice is back and as dirty as ever. The creators put their heads together to come up with funnier and more dynamic dice options to keep things interesting for players. This time, combinations include wholesome and whoreish options to create even more unique game tasks.

► The rules for Dirty Dice: Wholesome or Whore remain the same as last year. Players will be seated at a two-top (though group Dirty Dice games are also encouraged!) with a set of twelve-sided dice. The starting player rolls both dice. The action created with the dice must then be done to the opposing player — however, the rolling player does have the option to turn down the action. The second player will then roll the dice to create an action, also with the choice to turn down the action. Players continue to take turns until there is a winner.

► The first player to complete three actions will receive bragging rights, an extra large chip payout, and the resounding applause from the audience. Depending on which combinations are used to win the game, the winner may be crowned as cutely wholesome or top whore.

SEX TOY ROULETTE Come one, come all, step right up and try your luck at Sex Toy Roulette! Several roulette wheels are waiting for those brave enough to give them a spin. Sex Toy Roulette is a game of chance that comes with risks and rewards. Are you daring enough to give it a go?

► Sex Toy Roulette is very easy to play. A player steps up to the wheel, grabs the handle, and gives it their best spin. Whatever the needle lands on when the wheel stops is what the player wins! Lucky ducks might land on one of the fabulous instant prizes which can be claimed immediately. Sexy slutty yet less lucky ducks land on one of the sex toy options.

► If the needle lands on one of the sex toy options the roulette manager will give the player the corresponding sex toy. The toy will sync with the player's Watch and begin counting down from 4 hours. The instructions for further steps are transmitted to their Watch: Use this toy in a sex act with another guest within 4 hours.

► Players that complete the game and use the sex toy within 4 hours will receive no penalty. They also get to keep the sex toy. Yay!

► Players that do not complete the game and do not use the sex toy within 4 hours will be penalized. Not only will a substantial amount of chips be drained from their account, they may experience a sudden and intense suit flare. Wildcards may randomly experience symptoms of ANY SUIT.

  • ► The specific details of the sex toy a character is given is left to OOC discretion. For example, if you choose to land on "vibrator", you may have your character given any kind of vibrator. Have fun!
    LOUNGES
    ROLLING LOW
    THE PEACOCK LOUNGEGuests looking to get away from the flashing lights of the main casino can slip away to solace in the Peacock Lounge. The drinks are flowing, the food is good, and the music is calm. The Peacock Lounge offers guests a place to relax and unwind during their gambling escapades.

    ► While guests won't be pestered to play games or set bets inside the Peacock Lounge, they aren't completely free of the resort's antics. Everyone who comes into the Peacock Lounge will be set up on a casual date for the duration of their visit. Dates are completely randomized, with servers pairing guests at tables and matchmaking based upon their personal whims.

    Guests will be paired with someone new every time they enter the lounge. It's a great way to meet people!

    ► Staff are well aware that not all guests are smooth enough to slide right into a date. All tables come with a set of DATE NIGHT QUESTIONS for guests to use. Waiters watch eagerly, leaning over and nudging the cards when it looks like a table might be in a lull or have fallen into awkward silence.

    All meals come in pair sets to encourage the date-like atmosphere. Given that the Peacock Lounge is the only place inside the casino offering food, it's either suck it up and be romantic with who you've been paired up with or go hungry.
    DOWNSTAIRS DESIRE LOUNGE ► Pink neon signs point down several dark stairwells. Guests looking to fulfill a kink or fetish they may be reluctant to admit normally should go ahead and follow the arrows, because deep in the casino they'll find the Desire Lounge. This lounge is scarcely lit and cloaked in shadow, a place where the scent of sex is thick in the air. Discreet staff lead the way through padded pleasure rooms.

    All guests must wear a nondescript mask and promise to remain anonymous before entering the lounge. Here, anonymity and desire are king. Guests are here to seek out partners based solely upon sexual interests.

    Sexual interests may not necessarily be BDSM or hard kinks. Upon arrival, guests will enter a desire into their Watches so the system can match them with an appropriate partner. A lonely guest looking to be treated lovingly can enter their desire into the database, where they'll be matched with another guest whose desire is to dote upon a partner. Dominants will be matched with submissives. Sadists will be matched with masochists. Guests with matching fetish play will be paired together.

    All rooms are dimly lit to help keep encounters anonymous and discreet. Guests are required to keep their masks on and are advised to avoid asking questions about their partner. There might even be blindfolds involved, for either one party or both, depending upon the desire being fulfilled.

    Staff, however, won't be inside the pleasure room with the couple during the act. They won't know what rules are bent and broken.


    A ROYAL NIGHT
    HIGH RANK SOIREE
    FOR THE UPPER CRUST ► All royal and high rank guests will receive an invite for a royal evening in the casino at the end of the month. Rank 9 and higher, all aces included, are encouraged to dress up and come for a night of drinking, dancing, and indulging with their peers. The royal ranks are the real stars of this star-studded evening but 10s and 9s are tolerated as the bottom of the top.

    Guests rank 8 and below may only attend if they are accompanying a high rank as either their leashed pet or obedient servant. Wildcards are lumped in with the low ranks for this event since they are not yet assigned a real rank.

    Bringing a wildcard as a pet or servant earns social points with the long-standing guests, since they're new and unknown. Bringing several pets and/or servants also earns social points. Not bringing any servants or pets is laughable, and high ranks that show up without any companions will be gossiped about and snickered at.

    If they choose to bring a pet or servant, high ranks are encouraged to dress them up to show off their status and wealth. Even if you're dressed well, you can't be that well off if your pet is dressed slovenly or your servant is in a simple white shirt and pants. It's also a show of ownership, claiming them as your personal property by dressing them in your style.

    It's encouraged for high ranks to trade pets and servants for the evening. What's some sharing amongst peers? It's an excellent way for high ranks to get a taste of something new, be it taming someone else's pet for a while or being waited upon by someone else's servant. Sharing isn't mandatory, but those unwilling to trade will be expected to put on a public display with their +1 for everyone else to enjoy.
    SERVE AND SATISFY ► Low ranks that attend the party as a +1 are expected to behave properly and entertain the high ranks. Pets must be leashed the entire time and servants must stay at their master's side, unless temporarily swapped to another high rank. They can attend with PC or NPC high ranks.

    ► Coming as a +1 isn't the only way for a low rank to get into the party. The casino is still short-staffed, after all! Low ranks may also be employed as waiters to tend to the high ranks. Though their job first and foremost is to serve food and drink, should they catch a high rank's eye, they must do anything that high rank wants of them. This includes sexual favors, be it offering themselves up or servicing the high rank in question.

    ► The expectation is to behave, but the high ranks so love training and disciplining an unruly low rank. Any +1 or waiter that does not submit to the dominance of a high rank will be punished to their satisfaction, either by their own hand or another. All +1s and waiters will be warned about this before being allowed to enter. Can't say you didn't know!

    ► Pets, servants, and waiters may be traded for high ranks to enjoy. They may also be ordered to fuck each other publicly for the high ranks to watch. Low ranks with better status, such as ranks 8 and 7, have a bit more leeway and sway with the high ranks. Bottom barrel low ranks may be freely used and ordered about, even by higher ranked pets/servants/waiters.

    sha-ming | gnosia | new player

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-16 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
    ➤ I. casino gig
    [ You would never guess Sha-Ming was a newcomer with how well he takes to his new role as one of the many bunny butlers, flashing a smile and flirty look as he takes orders from customers. He's got the bunny ears, although he isn't too keen on adhering to proper uniform code with his tie loosened at the collar and part of his dress shirt deliberately left untucked and unbuttoned at the end just enough to show a flash of bare skin.

    He's not the most serious employee out there, but he really can't complain, all things considered. Working a bit job in a casino is not exactly where he expected to end up, but it sure as hell beats being stuck in a cramped cold sleep pod. But surely customers could forgive a little bit of indiscretion here and there, especially if he were to -- let's say for example -- accidentally spill their order over their nice clothes. ]


    Oops. So sorry about that!

    [ He may not be all that sorry, if the cocky little smirk on his face is indicative of anything. ]

    ➤ II. snake eyes
    [ A casino that lets its guests indulge all their lascivious desires certainly fit the bill for what Sha-Ming thinks of as true heaven. That being said, playing the eager part-timer is far from his ideal fantasy. Which means he's more than eager to ditch the bunny ears and bail from his shift the moment it's complete to explore the place. He'll be hanging near the dice table or roulettes, and should anyone lock eyes with him, he'll seize the chance to call them out for a round. ]

    What do ya say to a few rounds? C'mon, promise ya it'll be a good time!


    ➤ III. date night
    [ He really just wanted some grub to eat after a long day of work, but the lounge had other plans and he's found himself set up on a blind date. Well, if that's the price he's gotta pay? Then he's all the more happy to play the role of the eager date. Especially if he gets a free lunch out of it, or more.

    He'll answer whatever innocent questions are asked by his date, but he'll start to get a bit bored after a while. The question cards supplied are a bit, let's say, uninspired. Which means he'll capitalize on the opportunity to lead the exchange in a dirty direction if it presents itself. ]


    Look, if we're going to do this "20 Questions" shit, then let's spice it up a bit. How about it?


    ➤ IV. evening soiree
    [ Oh. Turns out he hadn't fulfilled the terms of his employment, and he miiiight have made a tiny little oops while running the bar, which lands him in some serious hot water with the staff. Which ensues a quite frankly extremely pathetic display of Sha-Ming dropping to the ground to grovel and beg for forgiveness, which would definitely be witnessed by any onlookers because he's far from quiet about it. Surely the bigger the scene he makes, the more awkward it will be, and the staff would not want to deal with the optics of a pathetic man screaming one placation after another and getting snot over their shoes in front of their esteemed guests. Right?

    Well. It does manage to get a nearby high-ranking guest to take pity on him... and take him on as their new pet for the evening soiree. Indeed, the performance he put on was apparently entertaining enough to leave them feeling rather "inspired". Dress Sha-Ming up in fancy high-end clothes? He hasn't earned it yet. No, instead they stick this skimpy little number on him, with matching gold accessories adorning his wrists and ankles, along with the obligatory collar and leash. He doesn't seem that bothered by his outfit. In fact, he still considers this a win for him, though his owner eventually loses interest and pawns him off on someone else. ]


    Anything ya need, Master?

    [ How into his role depends entirely on who his current "master" is. If they're cute or just manage to catch his eye in some manner, he'll be more than happy to play the role as the obedient pet... perhaps a little TOO into it, even. Anyone else, he probably will not be that enthusiastic, but he'll do just the bare minimum to keep them satisfied. He might still mouth off a bit now and then. ]

    wildcard + ooc info
    [ hello, i'm ame and a newcomer to these parts invited by the lovely sara! feel free to reach out to me via DM or my plurk [plurk.com profile] amelliete for questions/plotting. 18+ characters are preferred for smut scenarios, OTA for gen. Sha-Ming is 21, and available to all genders (m/m, m/f, m/nb, etc.). here are his permissions and kink list for reference. ]

    [personal profile] blindforlove 2026-03-16 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
    [As a leash is pushed into his hands, Xiao Xingchen recalls the voice from earlier that night. He heard the events in great detail, and he can't help but feel pity on the man as well--not that he would even have room to object as the previous owner disappears into the thick of the party once more with other leashed guests in tow. As Xiao Xingchen's "dog" had crossed someone of a higher rank and is currently being punished elsewhere, he had no one before now being entrusted with the one making a bit of a fuss earlier. While waiting for the other man to be free, he can take care of this one.

    Xiao Xingchen turns to the leashed man with a warm smile. Being rank 10 leaves him among the least celebrated of the higher ranks, though he hardly minds. Perhaps staying in this place too long means he's become accustomed to these parties and arrangements as well, not even yet thinking to apologize for this whole situation.

    It's not like he's going to ask for anything outright objectionable, however. So it's surely fine.]


    Ah, why don't you go pick up some hors d'oeuvres for us? I'll leave it to you to choose what looks the best.
    grovels: (019)

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-17 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
    Whatever ya say, master.

    [ The emphasis he places on that "master" is one that comes off a bit more biting than reverent. By the time his leash ends up in Xiao Xingchan's possession, the novelty has long since worn off for Sha-Ming, his attention focused less on his "master" and more on how uncomfortable the cool air brushing against his exposed skin feels even indoors.

    He'll return a few moments later with what appears to be a charcuterie board, except it looks like Sha-Ming barely put any effort into making it look presentable. The board is filled with thinly sliced prosciutto, some bits of brie and other assorted cheese, a bit of grilled vegetables, and finally a handful of what appear to be fried dough balls. Perhaps there was a fancier name for those, but he doesn't exactly care enough to find out. Either way, his presentation is definitely sloppy to any other onlookers. Not like it'd make a difference to this guy, right...? ]


    Here. Enjoy.

    [ There's not even a hint of delicacy in his tone or the way he slaps down the board before Xiao Xingchen's table. He's clearly checked out. ]
    blindforlove: (26)

    [personal profile] blindforlove 2026-03-17 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
    [Xiao Xingchen’s brow furrows at the clatter. Well, given the events from earlier, he supposed this sort of attitude is to be expected. But of course this whole situation wouldn’t have any ordinary person acting bright and chipper, if they could get away with it.

    With a sigh, he reaches for something on the plate with a fork, expression softening again.]


    I apologize. I assume you must be new to this place.

    [While it’s not like he can easily memorize any face or voice, he hasn’t heard anyone making such a fuss quite like that before.]
    grovels: (060)

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-17 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Sha-Ming just shrugs languidly. He's taking it in stride for what it's worth, but there's still a small part of him that expected Heaven to be a little more peaceful than where he actually ended up. ]

    Something like that. ...Tch, guess even Heaven's got its cutthroat side.

    [ The last part is more murmured to himself, with a slight hard edge as he looks down frowning at the man taking a bite from the haphazardly chosen appetizers. ]
    blindforlove: Xiao Xingchen with a slightly questioning expression. (03)

    [personal profile] blindforlove 2026-03-17 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Xiao Xingchen stops just short of taking a bite of his food. That isn't something he didn't expect to be compared to this place.]

    Heaven?

    [He pauses, thinking, before speaking with awe in his words.]

    Were you ascending to godhood before you arrived here?

    [Their understandings of what heaven is might be a bit different.]
    grovels: (012)

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-17 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
    ...Uhhh.

    [ Different is one way to put it, as Sha-Ming blinks in confusion at this guy's apparent veneration in his tone. ]

    Not exactly? I meant, like, the one where ya end up after you die.
    blindforlove: Xiao Xingchen looking concerned. (11)

    [personal profile] blindforlove 2026-03-18 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh.

    [Well, Xiao Xingchen has long since learned about all of the different things that people believe, but it feels like not entirely the time to focus on that when they all are dealing with the same situation right now.]

    Well, perhaps you were going there. [He tries to not sound reluctant in his reassurance, as strange as it is to think of every mortal going to heaven when they die.] But you've been... intercepted along the way.

    [This isn't the first time he's heard of someone experiencing the last moments of their life before waking here.]

    [ Yeah, Gen sure saw that display earlier, and despite the fact that he has very literally groveled for money from subordinates before, still has it in him to feel at least some sense of secondhand embarrassment about the entire charade that had him walking away at the time.

    He hadn't exactly expected to see the man again, much less have someone of a higher rank than his (in this company) lowly nine insist that since he hadn't come with a pet in the first place, he had to take this one to save himself further shame.

    An argument would have ensued if the leash wasn't dropped into his hand, and the former "owner" makes their escape with genuinely admirable speed.

    Or it would be admirable in other situations, instead of this one that leaves Gen letting out a heavy, heavy sigh.
    ]

    For you to not call me that.

    [ He'll pass the end of the leash to Sha-Ming, making him hold his own lead. ]

    And do me a favor of holding onto that, will you?

    [ Luckily (?) shame is not a word that exists in Sha-Ming's vocabulary. There's no limit to how much of his dignity he's willing to discard, especially in a sex casino where it's apparently all about how low you're willing to sink to get what you want.

    Therefore, ending up as the pet for a high-ranking guest is only a plus, as it's a chance to suck up to them and hopefully get some kickbacks. Sadly, there is such a thing as laying it on a bit TOO thick, as he unfortunately finds out when his leash ends up in the possession of what appears to be a lower-ranking guest judging by how pushy his former master had been to dump his leash on this dude. The disinterest on Sha-Ming's face couldn't be more apparent. ]


    What, you prefer I call you somethin' else?

    [ A derisive snort escapes from his nose as he takes the leash end without much complaint. His shoulders are clearly slacked down in boredom, and his exposed skin is starting to prickle slightly from the cool air, but, well. He'll deal for now. ]

    [ Pride is certainly not a thing that's rewarded for long, it's true. Not that it ever did much to curb Gen's overabundance of it regardless.

    And while Gen doesn't place much stock in the ranking system here, his overabundance of pride can't help but sting a little to see this wheedling man suddenly grow cold from being in the presence of a face card holder to a lowly nine. Perfectly average and middle of the pact, but the lowest of the guests invited to this fancy party by far.

    He looks deeply unimpressed himself as he leans back in his chair with a heavy sigh. This guy is going to fit in just fine after all.

    Narumi, or if you're feeling extra respectful feel free to add "Captain" before that.

    [True heaven is right. Douman can't help but feel the same way, new as he is, not yet feeling trapped, but freer. He slips over to Sha-ming and tilts his head a bit.]

    I hope you're a man of your word. Show me.

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-17 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
    Heh, well. Let's see where our luck ends up landin'.

    [ He'll reach over to give a spin of the roulette. The spin lasts a good minute before the arrow eventually settles on one: INSTA-PRIZE. Sha-Ming's face lights up with excitement, practically bouncing as his arms cross behind his head. ]

    Whooooo, baby! Wouldja look at that? Lady Luck is smiling on some of us today!

    Hey.

    [Douman's eyes have turned into big round poker chips. He puts a hand on Sha-ming's shoulder and leans in.]

    I'm part of this now too. Share the winnings and I'll make it worth your while.

    [All those chips... Is he drooling?]

    [One singular eyebrow arches above his ruby quartz sunglasses at the question. So, that's how it's going to go, huh? Fine, okay. He's not going to puss out at a time like this, especially not in front of a complete stranger. Is he being reckless? A little immature? Yeah but he doesn't care, with a stray thought knowing that it's probably some of his clubs suit influencing his behavior now, that push to meet his companion's eyes across the table and see what this whole thing may lead to. Hell, it might be interesting and he's up for something like that.

    He still doesn't know what to fully expect, but he plans to match every step of the way. Hopefully he won't eat his thoughts later.]


    Alright, I'm game. What do you have in mind?

    [Okay maybe it's just plain ol' reckless teen behavior too.]
    grovels: (068)

    muahahaha 👀 (nsfw; cw: sexual harassment didn't even wait a fucking minute)

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-17 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Bad idea. A smirk creases through Sha-Ming's lips as he stops to consider how far he can take his line of questioning. He's quite sick of the vanilla questions by now, as he isn't keen on revealing details about his personal life. And since this stranger is taking the bait, he wastes no time firing off the first thing that pops to mind. ]

    Would ya rather get spanked by me here and now, or would ya prefer to do the honors yourself?

    [ Is Sha-Ming serious? Maybe, maybe not. It's more of a test to see how his "date" will react to a bit of sexually charged needling, if anything. ]
    laserguy: dnt (098)

    already the spanking--

    [personal profile] laserguy 2026-03-18 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Bait taken and fully consumed.]

    Yeah, I'll spank you. Bend over.

    [Although despite all that projected confidence, there is still something a little embarrassed in his tone-- a hint of vulnerability because he's a teenager in the end, despite all that practice with control. And like many teenagers, it's just Scott trying to look cooler and more unaffected than he actually is.]

    --At least that is what I would say if we knew each other. But I'm not just going to do it because you asked. [He's never spanked anyone, honestly.]
    grovels: (042)

    i had to!!

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-19 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Scott's first remark at least gets Sha-Ming to raise an eyebrow, visibly surprised he's even taking the bait. ...Of course, he's just going to double down anyway. ]

    Aw, not even if I say pretty please? What a shame.

    [ Not really. It's taking the line of questioning off him anyway, and the adding in the dirty spin makes it feel more like a guy-to-guy talk this way. He leans back into his seat, crossing his arms. ]

    Take it that means you got some people you would rather spank. So, let me rephrase that: you the type to spank them, or let them spank you?

    [He's already getting a picture of the kind of person he's talking to. Great. Well, guess this dinner won't be boring...? Not that he needed extra excitement and discussions about spanking to liven up his meal.]

    Geez man, you're really into the spanking thing, huh? [He leans his cheek against a propped up hand, just giving the other a raised eyebrow. While that low awkwardness of talking about this is still in him, he's managing it a bit more now.]

    But I'm not letting people spank me.

    [A slight lie, maybe. If he really thinks about it, he doesn't think he'd hate it at all?? With the right person, someone he trusts, maybe. He can picture a few friends already that he might be okay with and-- he huffs and turns his head.] Well, since this is clearly your kink, what do you prefer?

    [ At this person calling out to him Xue Yang gives an amused snort, a grin on his face as he walks over and takes a look at what he's referring to. Most of the games here haven't held Xue Yang's interest over the months, but when his gaze lands on the dice, interest flashes in his eyes. ]

    Oh, they dug those out again? Sure.

    [ He walks over to the table, pulls out a chair, and sits alongside Sha-Ming with a casual ease. He glances over the dice again, not giving the appearance of studying them closely even though he is indeed reading off the words he can see, since they look different than he remembers. ]

    So, you gonna go first or me?
    grovels: (065)

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-17 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Well, don't mind Sha-Ming getting a bit close up in that personal space as he leans over to Xue Yang's level, matching the same casual ease in his manner of speaking. ]

    First one's on me. You can have the next round, if ya feel up for it.

    [ He'll shuffle the dice in his hand, tossing them onto the table where they land on the numbers 5 and 4: CARESS CHEST. His gaze darts back to Xue Yang. ]

    Sound good to you?
    noneforyou: (43)

    [personal profile] noneforyou 2026-03-18 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Xue Yang laughs at that. ]

    Sure. [ He settles in his chair, letting the lapels of his shirt fall open as the fabric slips along his shoulders a bit. It doesn't expose all the way to his nipples just yet, but his outfit is certainly loose enough that it's easy at this point to reach in and get access. ] Too bad I'm not a woman so that [ indication towards the dice rolls ] won't be as fun.
    grovels: (089)

    [personal profile] grovels 2026-03-19 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
    [ He shrugs at that remark... Xue Yang isn't wrong, this result WOULD be more exciting if Sha-Ming got the chance to fondle a more bustier chest, but he can still make this work. ]

    I'm the one handlin' the goods, so I'll be the judge of that.

    [ Leaning down next to Xue Yang, he'll slide a hand into his open shirt, fingers meeting bare skin. He'll take his time palming and feeling up one of Xue Yang's pecs, letting the pad of his thumb graze the nipple every now and then. Just a small tease. Hard to tell with the shirt still partially buttoned, but it seemed like the guy had more muscle on him than Sha-Ming, anyway. ]

    [At least the bottle of wine Hua Cheng had ordered had arrived, along with a pair of wine glasses. He nearly pauses mid-pour at the suggestion, a smirk tugging at his lips before he moves to pour the other glass as well.]

    You'd certainly be on theme for this place. [He pauses again, this time to take a drink of wine, the red liquid tinting his lips. He motions vaguely at his date, signaling for him to go ahead.]
