【 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! 】

[ He's still a little disoriented, having never been teleported somewhere before, but... well, the casino isn't any more appealing than the washroom was. ]
Ah, I don't know, but I'd prefer to be somewhere... more private than this. Sorry...
You already said that. [Not impatient, maybe a bit teasing.
[Douman takes the opportunity to face Maruki, head tilting slightly to the side to observe him as two fingers come to touch the side of his jaw, running a line down.]
Take me wherever you want. You know your way around, don't you? Show me.
[ The only problem with that is that Maruki knows from experience how difficult it can be to escape the casino lately. It could take them hours, if not longer. And besides, he has to wonder... ]
That teleportation ability of yours...
[ He glances down, lashes falling dark on the hollows beneath his eyes as he watches Douman's fingers tracing his jaw. ]
If I described a place to you, would you be able to take me there? Or does it only work for places you've been?
[ Perhaps Douman is expecting Maruki to describe where his own room is, but– well, for as much as he appreciates the kindness that was shown to him when he was a wildcard, he's wary about bringing others into his space before they're properly checked in. He doesn't know this man at all. Privacy is what he wants, yes, but not that much privacy.
Besides, his room isn't his favorite place here, not by a long shot. ]
The top floor. There's a massive garden that takes up the entire rooftop level.
[ It's no less disorienting when it's expected, and Maruki has to keep an arm tight around Douman's back to steady himself as he blinks away his dizziness. The Cloud Dwelling Gardens sprawl out all around them, the digital sky overhead indicating that it's nighttime, false stars and moon twinkling bright and bathing all the flora and fauna in their artificial light.
He takes a deep breath, steadies himself, the fingers clutched into Douman's robes slowly relaxing. ]
Nicely done. That really is impressive.
[ He turns to look this way and that; for all intents and purposes, they're entirely alone in this section of the gardens, a breeze of indeterminable origin rustling through the flowers and trees. ]
[It's beautiful. The first thing he sees is Seimei sitting on a bench under a canopy of petals, smiling at him. It makes his scar ache. He blinks and glances at Maruki, forgetting to smile.]
It's lovely. [He means it. He doesn't sound like he doesn't mean it. He doesn't sound like anything at all. How very beautiful. How very serene.]
Is it really all that more private, though? You don't think we'll be disturbed?
[ It's lovely, he says, entirely blank. Maruki doesn't feel too put out by it. Something like this might not be Douman's style, but he isn't insisting they go elsewhere, so...
It's fine. He wanders over toward one of the many little alcoves created naturally by the plants, a small clearing amidst towering trees and lush flowers. ]
Most everyone is in the casino these days. I think we'll have better luck with privacy here than anywhere else.
[ He crouches down, pats the grass next to him as he smiles up at Douman. ]
[Time feels farther away, somehow. Douman sits in the grass beside a man he hardly knows, in a place where he should know him better. He feels an odd ache, some unfamiliar tension that he won't call anxiety. He's been enjoying himself, and he intends to continue enjoying himself, but it's odd not to be so lonely. He's not sure he likes it.]
[ Maruki pulls his knees up in front of him, drapes his arms loosely around them. ]
My name is Dr. Maruki, but please, just call me Maruki.
[ Some people here call him doctor, or even doc, but even though he can't stop himself from introducing himself with his title, he's trying to gently stray away from encouraging that. ]
What about you?
why is maruki making him all uncomfortable and wiggly

Oh, come on.
[All patience has left his voice. He grabs Maruki's wrist, and they both dissipate out of the bathroom, out back onto the casino floor.]
How can you be so shy in a place like this?
no subject
[ He's??? Suddenly not in the washroom anymore??????
Maruki's head whips around, blinking at the bright, garish lights of the casino before turning back to Douman. ]
Oh, my... is that the sort of power you have?
[ His own power is being shy and awkward in a sex resort. ]
no subject
That's right. I thought I'd stick around for the game, but it was rather uneventful...
What can we do to change that?
no subject
Ah, I don't know, but I'd prefer to be somewhere... more private than this. Sorry...

[Douman had leaned in, as if to inspect Maruki, but he leans away now.]
I don't necessarily have to have been there, but knowing the precise location helps. Do you have a floor in mind?
no subject

The top floor. There's a massive garden that takes up the entire rooftop level.
no subject
[But sure.]
That should be no trouble.
[He snakes an arm around Maruki's waist.]
Let's go.
[To the top of the building - not difficult at all. In the space of a breath, they're in the garden. Romantic indeed.]

[And then comes the trouble with his own name. If Maruki is from Japan, he'll likely recognize it.]
Douman. You can call me that if you'd like, I suppose.
get seen idiot
[ Anyone would know that name, and it's hardly common in modern day. Maruki has to wonder... ]
That's a name that carries a lot of weight, isn't it?
no subject
So, you recognize it. What does that name mean to you, Maruki-kun?
