SEED ME IN THE BEDROOM
A BIRD IN THE BUSH
MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT ► New arrivals are in for a treat! No need to sign up and wait for the chance to participate in the mating games. As soon as Wildcards open their eyes they will find themselves in one of the wedding suites of the Phoenix Casino! Each suite houses up to six guests comfortably. That's what bunkbeds are for!

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. The term 'robe' is used loosely this round with looks spanning the full range of wedding lingerie. All lingerie come in either white or black to promote the game's wedding aesthetic.

Existing characters are welcome to temporarily take up residence in any empty bunkbeds in these suites. It wouldn't be much fun for Wildcards to only marry each other, would it? The staff also understand that some existing guests ache to wed. No need to ask! It’s all taken care of already.

► Racks of clothing are waiting right outside the wedding suites. Everything available for arrivals to wear are elaborate wedding dresses and sharp tuxedos. Why? All will soon become clear after Mating Season staff urge them to dress and then drag them out to the casino floor.
TO THE CHAPEL ► Down the red carpet waits a gaudy casino wedding chapel and our favorite officiant, Birdvis! Two guests will meet for the first time at the altar to be married by Birdvis with no 'I do' required. It's possible it isn't really the first time they've met but game producers would appreciate keeping mum if that's the case.

► Congratulations, you're married! All new couples are forced to wear matching wedding rings. These wedding rings resonate and randomly magnetize wearers together. Now that you're married you have to stick with your spouse.

Rings cannot be removed until either considerable romantic bonding has occurred or the couple has consummated the marriage. Whichever comes first! As long as the rings are on, couples will continue to be randomly pulled together. Watch out for brides and grooms flying through the casino as they're magnetized to their partner!

► Glitches in the matrimony matrix may occur. When a glitch happens, guests wearing wedding rings may end up attaching to someone other than their spouse. Even if the other person isn't wearing a ring at all! Oops.
THE NEWLYWED GAME ► The Newlywed Game is presented to help guests bond with their new spouse. However, couples may end up shuffled around—it's so difficult to keep track of who's married whom! Some guests who aren't married may also be dragged in to buff up the numbers.

► Poker tables in the casino have been converted into romantic tables studded with roses and candles. Each table comes with a bottle of wine, a pack of cards with questions, two notepads, and two pens.

Players flip a card and individually write their answer on their respective notepads. Then they both take a guess as to what the other has answered. The player closest to their partner's answer is awarded a point. If neither player makes a close guess no points are given. The game ends when one side reaches five points.

► Questions cover a range of invasive topics, though most of them focus on kinks or feelings. Welcome to Self Report: The Game!

All winners of the Newlywed Game will be rewarded with luxurious lingerie. Marriages take work to keep the spark alive! Losers will be entered into the spanking raffle. Everyone drawn from the pool will be subject to bare bottom spankings from dominants and dominatrixes around the resort. Particularly dommy guests may be recruited for spanking duty.
EXTREME DATING CHALLENGE! ► Don't let your spouse stop you from finding the love of your life! Guests are invited to participate the Extreme Dating Challenge, which offers the opportunity to meet potential mates in unique situations. Head over to House Finch and Cloaca & Dagger to meet some sexy singles!

► Staff are eager to help set guests up on some absurd dates. Characters are dressed in ridiculous outfits and given embarrassing tasks to complete during the date. The first person to laugh loses and will be subject to a humiliating but harmless penalty.

► Guests are allowed to select their own silly outfits. However, reluctant guests will be manhandled into costumes by producers. If it's left up to the producers they'll be wearing something embarrassing and sexy, like a maid uniform.

► Only alcohol is provided and there are no food options. Long-standing guests joining in on the fun are oddly sleep deprived because the producers keep kicking them awake so they make bad decisions. Current Game 52 players aren't free from such treatment! Excessive alcohol and no sleep make for good entertainment.
EXTREME DATING CHALLENGE! TOO HOT TO HANDLE ► At some point one of the producers gets the inspired idea to make the challenges sexy. During night hours, the Extreme Dating Challenge goes NSFW. Characters are dressed in revealing costumes and given erotic tasks to complete during the date. A favorite task of a certain producer is to ask competitors to suck on a girthy pickle.

► The NSFW version of the game has the added entertainment of Too Hot To Handle rules. Guests are forbidden from any kissing, sexual contact, or self-gratification during the date. Outfits and tasks are designed to sexually tease and provoke the other person. The first person to initiate any kind of sexual contact loses.

► Once again, guests are welcome to choose their own outfits. Those that must be manhandled will be strapped into harnesses, gimp suits, and pasties.

► Losers will be strapped into a chastity belt and mercilessly teased (erotically). Winners collect a large payout for their success.


CLUCK AROUND, FIND OUT
MY SWAN AND ONLY LOVE
LUST IS BIRDS ► Upon arrival to the Mating Season central hub, blindfolded guests are lead into a starting pod. Each blind date will last 30 minutes, after which staff members will knock on the doors of the pods to rotate guests to meet new matches. Welcome to Lust is Birds, where Penguinessa Larkchey and her husband, Peck Larkchey, ask the big questions. Can you get hot for someone you've never seen? Can attraction spark through voice alone? Is love... real?

► Participants are alone in their pod with a blind date on the other side of a partition. These two guests can talk to each other but cannot see each other through the partition. Guests cannot overhear other guests outside of their paired pods. They only have each other for company once locked inside.

► Pods are furnished with a couch, blankets, flatscreen, and snack bar. Included with the snack bar are bottles of wine and spirits, as well as the classic reality TV silver goblets. Guests are encouraged to drink and eat their fill; everything inside the pods is free regardless of rank. Relax, enjoy, and have fun!

► Don't worry, Mating Season wouldn't leave you up the creek without a paddle. Every pod has two glass jars with slips of paper. These jars are labeled ROMANTIC TOPICS and SEXY TOPICS. While guests are encouraged to talk about anything they want, if they find themselves coming up short, they can use jar topics for ideas.

► Find yourself making a connection? Mating Season would never cut off a fledgling love affair. Every pod is equipped with a large green MATE button. Pressing that button signifies the intention to couple up and nest. If both sides press the button they'll be allowed to meet face-to-face for nesting time.
SLUTTHROAT KITCHEN ► Welcome, chefs, to the Gilded Cage's sprawling kitchen! Here you'll be issued a series of challenges our charming host, certified daddy dom Albert Brownbird. Will you be able to withstand the heat of the sluttiest kitchen in the Golden Peacock?

Unlike a traditional cooking show, all of these challenges are erotic. Since Albert is a kind-hearted daddy dom, his early tasks won't be too specific and remain within the realm of general appeal. Beginning rounds kick off with easy challenges, like giving their waiting partner two back-to-back orgasms. Later rounds include more specific tasks, like anal stimulation or nipple play with added parameters.

After the challenge is issued chefs will have one minute to dash through the massive pantry to grab the sex toys they want. Toys are limited in number. Competitors not fast enough may end up with weird leftovers. Producers encourage kicking and slapfights to snatch toys from each other's baskets. It's good entertainment!

► Once "ingredients" have been secured, chefs return to their station and start getting their waiting partner off. Winners are judged based on how quickly they complete the task and how pleased their partners are. Someone may get their partner off quickly with a spatula, but if that partner isn't thoroughly satisfied with their "meal", daddy Albert is knocking off points.

► Guests that score highly are rewarded with two large payouts, privileges to use the Gilded Cage's kitchen for two months, a clean chef's jacket embroidered with daddy Albert's face, new cooking supplies, and the title of Top Chef. Guests that score poorly are assigned to the cleanup crew and peeling vegetables for the next dinner rush.
THIS IS DANGEROUS?! ► Come test your smarts in a battle of wits at Chickadees! It's time for everyone's favorite trivia gameshow, Dangerous!? Hosted for sixty nine years by Alex Trebawk, a dapper older bird in an impeccable three-piece suit, Dangerous!? has been a staple on the Peacock network for decades.

► Two or three contestants play by selecting clues under certain categories, including everyone's favorite Kinks You'd Like To Play. Players have a limited time to provide a response (for example: A kink you're interested in but have never tried). Failing to provide a truthful answer in a few seconds requires the player to remove one article of clothing. Last player with clothing on is the winner!

Be careful—forgetting to phrase your reply in the form of a question results in a penalty. Traditionally this penalty is chosen by the other player, but Trebawk has been known to offer his own suggestions if need be!

► The winner is rewarded with a Golden Owl trophy, a large payout, and showered with adoration. The loser is conscripted into working as the winner's servant for 24 hours post-game.


FOWL INTENTIONS
BEAKING OUT
BEAK GAMES ► Not to be outdone, local algorithm junky Mr. Beak does what he does best: steals a profitable idea and turns it into his own content. Lust is Birds? That’s old news, baby! What the people want is BEAK GAMES.

► Beak Games brings blindfolded players to large cubes instead of the familiar Lust is Birds pods. Once inside participants are told that they are trapped until they have at least one orgasm, at which point the cubes will unlock. The catch, which Mr. Beak conveniently waits until after the first round to announce? Anyone who orgasms has to remain in the cube for the next round! Both parties orgasmed? Hope you had fun together, because you’re going for another round.

Participants will find an assortment of sex toys available in the cube, along with an old fashioned telephone that can be used to request additional items from the production. Just be warned, Team Beak is just as likely to bring in a sybian instead of the requested sandwich to mix things up! Twists are good content!!

► Guests not subject to the cubes may find themselves locked inside a pitch-black room instead. Players are told that they are trapped until they manage to find the key for the door's padlock. The catch? Players inside the room are chained or handcuffed together. They'll be given the sole hint that that the key is somewhere on one of their bodies. Maybe even in your butthole! Mr. Beak will announce, Check your buttholes!

► The key can be anywhere on one of the participants. Once found, they'll need to make their way to the lock in the dark and get the door open. Good luck navigating that while chained together!

► Don’t worry: within 24 hours Mr. Beak gets sued for reckless endangerment and intellectual property theft, so any players remaining at that point are set free with “please don’t sue us” speed and given a complimentary I Survived Beak Games! jersey.
NEST SWEET ► Nesting Season wraps up a few days later, since Mating Season's legal department is gearing up for a long court battle with local network celebrity Mr. Beak. However, the impact of the mating games lasts for much longer than legal proceedings!

Depending on how characters behaved during nesting season they may be recognized as heroes or villains of their respective games by fans. Villains may be met with boos when walking to Birdbucks for their morning coffee. Heroes may be crowded in the hallways and begged for autographs. Stans and shippers pop up across the board with fanfiction and fanart posted on the both virtual and physical bulletin boards.

► Since all guests signed away the rights to their likeness upon checking in to the resort (tiny tiny tiny print), Mating Season jumps at the opportunity to produce merchandise of participants. With the popularity of Nesting Season it's easier than ever to get a t-shirt with your loved one's face printed across the chest, featuring one of their iconic quotes from the games. The popup shop at Mating Season's central hub becomes a permanent addition so one can pick up some swag anytime!

Divorces may also be processed through Mating Season once the shipping hype dies down. Mating Season does hope that you managed to find someone to be a pair of sweet mandarin ducks with!

COLRESS
POKÉMON SCIENTIST
"A quote? Hm. I've never filled anything like this out before, I'm not certain what would constitute an appropr"

AGE: 27
GENDER: Male
CARD: N/A
ROLE: Switch for Science
FAVORITE POSITION: Face to Face
SEXIEST FEATURE: That slim, grabbable waist
SEEKING: Brave, compliant bodies to give him plenty of data

Dr. Colress is a man willing to probe the deepest, darkest holes imaginable if he can get what he wants in the end, even if it means forsaking being gentle with any of his test subjects. He's no stranger to them fighting back, of course, and can take a hell of a lot of punishment--it's all sweet, sweet information to gulp down after all.



TO THE CHAPEL. A.
[ Colress doesn't look too out of place in a stark white tuxedo, proper posture and demeanor giving an unexpected amount of weight to what is basically a Vegas marriage. Unfortunate there isn't much time to appreciate it before the 'ceremony' gets underway.

Once he and his partner are up there on the altar, looking into each other's eyes for the very first time, Colress brings an abrupt hand up to Birdvis' now sputtering mouth before he can get past the first syllable of whatever speed-vows they're expected to repeat.

All the while, his eyes don't leave his new partner's.
]

May I know your name before it's announced to all of us?


TO THE CHAPEL. B.
[ Well that's annoying.

Colress is curious about this new place, that's a given, and since he's not literally shackled to his new spouse he figures it isn't against any rules to just go exploring, right?

Hm. Maybe not.

Every time he gets his hands close to somewhere they might not be allowed, the ring on his finger buzzes to life. He's dragged through halls, bonked against doorways, knocked over a few artistic displays, and by the time the rings have found their partners he's visibly annoyed whether he's attached to his initial spouse or not.
]

There was a way to disable these intrusive things, wasn't there?


THE NEWLYWED GAME.
I suppose we are technically Newlyweds, even if we aren't wed to each other. A unique concept for a game, if that is meant to be the challenge.

[ If it isn't general fuckery he should be expecting of this place, he means. He hasn't been here long, but it doesn't take an extended stay to catch on that this is more of a madhouse than a resort.

"Which of you is the bigger spender?"

Oh, he's already writing. Seems he's pretty confident in his answer.
]


SLUTTHROAT KITCHEN.
Good news!!

[ Is it? He seems pretty excited about the stuffed grocery basket he's putting on the table, jabbering on as he takes things out one by one to sort them all in a neat line. ]

Personal taste in the bedroom is as varied as personal taste on the tongue. Without your initial input as to what you might enjoy, I believe this will be mostly about technique rather than outside assistance with all its 'bells and whistles', as it were. And there were many simple tools left available.

[ He picks up a small bottle with what looks like a fancy mug of cocoa on its label, presenting it like it's a valuable antique. ]

This lubricant, for example, warms with friction. Perfectly suited for our purposes.


WILDCARD.
[ Howdy hey it's Gray, back at it again because I love you people. I'm up for a lot but if you're unsure of anything you can PM me here, reach out to [plurk.com profile] flutterm0use, or just post and see where things go. I like yes-anding! Mwah ♡ ]

[personal profile] driyosh 2026-05-16 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Dottore looks at the bottle skeptically.]

Certainly a novel creation, I'll grant you, but the environment is hardly one that facilitates eroticism. That said, I do pride myself in being flexible.

[The double entendre seems to be unintentional. He reaches out to pick up a firm, navy blue silicone ring with a bulge on one side, along with a matching remote control. Tapping the button multiple times cycles through a series of more and more intense vibrations from the ring.]

This is interesting too.

[The Doctor is not shy when he has a goal.]
shadesbetween: (🌙 27)

i know right??

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-16 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid neither of us can do much about the environment, save for sensory deprivation. [ He'll quickly run his finger above the line of toys he's made, as if taking stock. ] I hadn't thought to pick up a blindfold or any of the like, but those are easy enough to improvise.

[ And when Dottore singles one of the toys out, Colress will lean in to investigate with a shifting of his glasses. ]

Ooh, indeed it is! Would that be a request to use it in our game?
driyosh: (pic#18314522)

[personal profile] driyosh 2026-05-16 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
I believe it would be effective in overcoming the environment we find ourselves in, yes. Perhaps in combination?

[He holds up the small bottle of warming lube.]

This, the ring, and a blindfold would surely be enough to drown out the sounds of a kitchen and audience. I heard chatter about an edging challenge, probably duration.
shadesbetween: (🌙 1)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Duration? [ He repeats, tone matching a sudden spark in his eye. It's not 1:1, but testing something's limits always gets the gears in his head turning, his blood pumping, and in a place without Pokémon he's needed a release for his itch to experiment badly. ]

Perfect.

Now then, if we're both agreed, please make yourself comfortable however you need. I'll prepare our tools.

[ he'll find himself now stuck to this tall, skinny guy, who judging by his ruffled hair and unkempt suit also got dragged through a few rooms for this magnetic meeting. michiru shakes his head to clear it, shakes their joined hands (useless), and hums neutrally. ]

Yeah. Waiting it out is an option, but it's pretty annoying.

[ he'll glance at colress, reach over, and pull his shirt collar back into place. ]

You okay? Rough treatment, huh.
shadesbetween: (🌙 6)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ A moment to take this new guy in--nope, not his spouse, not even someone he's met here. If these rings are meant to keep the wedded couple together, they're faulty, and a faulty device being forced onto him just adds another tick into Colress' bad mood.

With a sigh,
] I'm fine. Only annoyed, as you said.

What were you doing before, [ He gives their hands a gentle shake. ] this?
culet: (052)

[personal profile] culet 2026-05-17 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ hey at least he's still purple! the rings might just be colour-coded? michiru lets their hands be shaken again, slightly ragdoll with the motion, laughing gently. ]

This, or... [ a grander sweeping motion with his free hand. ] this? Either way, attempting to sleep. I was trying to find an unoccupied room to stay out of this and take a nap.

[ and before that he was conked out in the hotel he was actually supposed to be in. ]

What about you? Didn't interrupt anything important, I hope.
shadesbetween: (🌙 20)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ A quiet, thoughtful noise. More at the idea of being yoinked out of sleep than whatever he'd been doing, because that's a whole new level of annoying to deal with. ]

Exploring the resort. Which it does seem to be, judging by amenities I managed to find before being swept away, all facilities one would expect to find in a purportedly fancy hotel.

Which should include rest areas. If you haven't found any, we could always use the rooms most of us seem to have arrived in. I could keep watch for you while going over my notes.
culet: (076)

[personal profile] culet 2026-05-17 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like I'm unused to hotels, but this level of over-the-top garishness is a bit disorientating.

[ so this guy just arrived too, huh... his own exploration had been slow, trying to not get lost and being dragged into various games and sidequests as he looked around. it was exhausting, and his social battery was running on empty. ]

I'd appreciate that. A few of the rooms were either occupied or... themed...? Not great to just take a few hours in. [ he taps their joined hands together, a substitute for a handshake. ] I'm Michiru, by the way.
shadesbetween: (🌙 8)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a tilt of his head at the gesture, unsure of what it's supposed to be, but he mirrors it regardless. ] Colress.

Let's find you a suitable spot, Michiru. Whatever may be thrown at us next, it'd be best to face it fully rested.

[ Said matter-of-factly, finger in the air and everything, like a school teacher leading his class on a field trip as he takes a moment to remember which direction that strange matrimonial hostel was and head on out. ]

While we walk, however...indulge me in the sort of rooms you came across?
culet: (129)

[personal profile] culet 2026-05-17 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it just seemed awkward to reach for a handshake when they were already stuck!! the reciprocation makes michiru smile a little anyway, pleased, even if the intent wasn' clear the result was the same. ]

How magnanimous. I don't mind if you want to nap too, you know.

[ though he seems the studious type especially with that demeanor, so maybe it's fine to just let colress do his thing...? might be a little annoying to go over notes with one hand stuck to a sleeping dead weight, though. ah, well, problems for a little later. ]

Oh, you know. [ gestures vaguely around them. ] About what you'd expect. Private nooks and lounges with various apparatus laid out, or hanging from the ceiling, or in use.

TO THE CHAPEL. A.

[personal profile] veneficial 2026-05-16 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At this point, with half a year under his belt, Corbeau is accustomed to the constant shenanigans. While he's doing his best not to appear too visibly annoyed at the current circumstances, a keen observer might notice the bulge of a vein on his forehead and a sharpness in his tone. At least they put him in an actual tuxedo and not something more skimpy. He's no prude, but he just doesn't feel like he looks right in assless pants.

This time. ]


Corbeau.

Yours?
shadesbetween: (🌙 31)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Colress. I'd say it's a pleasure, Corbeau, but circumstances are what they are.

[ It's weird, it sucks, but judging from how irritated this Corbeau's pretending not to be, it miiight not be his fault? So no reason to take it out on him.

He'll set his hand down,
] You may continue.

[ And Birdvis wastes no time clearing his throat and getting back to business. No input from either of them needed, the next thing they know two stagehands are slipping rings on their fingers as quickly and subtly as possible. ]
veneficial: (barbs)

[personal profile] veneficial 2026-05-17 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ The ring is on before Corbeau can really react, and he lets out an unimpressed sound as he brings it up to his gaze. ]

I've only been here half a year and I've already been 'married' twice. They must really like this trope.

[ Maybe it will be of some small comfort to Colress that Corbeau seems more agitated than panicked. ]

The rings are new, though. Their insistence on getting them on tells me they're going to be an annoyance.
shadesbetween: (🌙 19)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a small comfort, but a comfort nonetheless. If someone who's done this all before doesn't seem to think there's any danger, there may very well not be.

Even if there's something new in the mix, namely the rings. Colress has also started inspecting his, already fidgeting with it as much as the little band will let him.
]

Oh? And what was expected of you in your first marriage?
veneficial: (sour)

[personal profile] veneficial 2026-05-17 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
To play the part of almost comically cliche family patriarch.

[ That's a good enough summary for someone he's just met. ]

But you seem much more sapient than my previous spouse, so this should go much more smoothly for however long they want us to play house.

[ This is being said as they're being encouraged (read: gently pushed by the stagehands) down an 'aisle' while other stagehands throw rice in a downright mechanical manner. What a waste of food. ]

Fine, fine, we're going. Keep your hands to yourselves.
shadesbetween: (🌙 9)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
A family--? [ Ope, alright, they're moving, the wedding march is blaring from unseen speakers. This is fine. ]

If domesticity is all they want, that shouldn't be a problem. Though you mentioned these rings are new?

[ He'll hold his up again, belatedly realizing they'd taken one of his gloves off to get the thing on. Ugh. ]

What sort of problems could they pose for us, aside from being difficult to remove?
veneficial: (overdose)

[personal profile] veneficial 2026-05-17 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
If I had to hazard a guess, they'll connect us in some way.

[ As soon as they get to the end of the aisle and through a large double door it shuts unceremoniously behind them, the sounds of the whole operation reseting for the next unlucky pairing muffled on the other side. ]

Humor me. Try and get some distance from me. A couple floors away if possible.
shadesbetween: (🌙 18)

[personal profile] shadesbetween 2026-05-17 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Connect them? He gives the ring another look, curious rather than doubting. If it's possible, he'd like to see it. ]

Understood.

[ It's a good opportunity to explore, too. Colress had barely woken up before he was dressed and thrown into a chapel with little to no explanation. The specifics of this strange place that has a habit of marrying off its occupants is still a mystery.

So he'll do just that--he'll bid Corbeau farewell for now and wander off wherever he isn't shooed away from, even if the idea of sticking around just to find out how to sneak past any busybody staff is tempting. His main goal is distance, and there's no guarantee he has the time to dawdle before...whatever is going to happen, happens.

And he's two floors up before it does. A tingling, vibrating from his ring finger, as if a switch had been pulled and the ring was humming with electricity. It's subtle at first, but takes much less time to ramp up than it did to activate, and before you can say 'two grown men flung towards each other at top speed'...

Well.

[Huh, this guy isn't the person that he's recently been 'married' to. Honestly, he's someone that he's never really seen before, so probably one of the new arrivals that got roped into all this nonsense. Yeah, been there, done that, pal-- though a part of him sympathizes because dude looks like he's been dragged across the casino. He doesn't really hold any ill will against whoever this is, but he isn't going to cut corners about what probably needs to be done to get this ring off.

...Although, does it work if they weren't the ones that got initially married?? Hard to say. He'll just answer based on what he does know, so Scott looks at him through his normal red sunglasses with a slightly serious expression.]


Well, either form a romantic bond or have sex.
