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!

seed me in the bedroom: married at first sight.
[ it's not a problem for her to leave the bed in just the lingerie that's been provided—an elaborate black corset-like bra trimmed in delicate lace with matching underwear—whoever chose this for her at least has some taste. robin isn't shy about her body (hasn't been for a long time) but she does appreciate craftsmanship and tailoring, which is what makes her gravitate towards the racks of clothing outside the wedding suites.

they expect her to choose one of the wedding dresses, but she passes on them in favor of a tux instead, cinching the belt at her waist.
]

Hmm... it's missing something. [ dark eyes land on the hat just out of her reach, and what looks like another arm appears in a burst of cherry blossom petals to toss it down to her waiting hands. ] Perfect.

[ how did that happen? don't worry about it. ]

cluck around, find out: lust is birds.
[ it's very tempting to cheat the blindfold, but robin plays along with it and allows herself to be led to one of the pods. she scans the food and drink once it comes off (they really are so eager to provide, aren't they?), and helps herself some wine before getting comfortable on the couch.

once her partner has made their way to the adjacent pod and has settled in, she speaks up, voice low and amused:
]

Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?

wildcard + ooc info.
[ robin is from the end of season 2; please let me know if you'd like to avoid spoilers! she's 28 and is ota ages and genders—f/m, f/f, f/nb all good. feel free to hit me with anything else if the above doesn't spark joy, i am so open and easy; i'm particularly interested in beak games if you wanna mess around with that, or just pm me if you want to plot something else. for the lust is birds prompt, her voice sounds like this. please mind the very mild body horror in the video! ]

Of course.

[ Shanks doesn't mind much. These games can be fun, anyway, so he lets himself be led, but he can't entirely deny he's curious. ]

[ Even if it can't be seen, there's a smirk on his face as he listens to the woman on the other side. Intrigued. She asks names first. He likes that. ]


Shanks. And who might I have the pleasure of speaking with?

On the sea, of course.

Certainly not here, trapped in a cage.

[personal profile] shanksyourfeels 2026-05-16 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
So, if I were to say the words, 'Grand Line' that means something to you, Miss?

[ Oh, another person from home? Now he wants to know her even more. He's ignoring the whole cage comment from a moment, because he engages in these ridiculous games to distract himself from that fact, more often than not. ]

[ getting trapped was bad enough -- but the fact that the room is completely swathed in darkness with not even a sliver of light to see anything by? truly a recipe for disaster, especially when zoro tries to take a couple of steps to one side in order to figure out where the doorway is at least, he feels a tug of chains wrapped around his waist that effectively prevents him from moving about freely.

robin would hear a tetchy, exasperated click of tongue coming from her companion, and then a faint jangle of links clinking together as he gets his hand on the chain between the two of them to gauge the length of the slack. after barely two-feet's worth, his knuckles brush against her hip -- and there is a very slight pause, a fraction of a second's worth of deliberate silence (after all, he hadn't realised it was a woman that he's chained to in here; they sure were indiscriminate about their choices, huh?) before zoro opens his mouth. ]


This way.
palmful: (pic#18473441)

[personal profile] palmful 2026-05-16 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ the total darkness is a nuisance that she should have expected at this point, given the amount of time she's had now to participate in these games. not the worst they've had to deal with, of course, but it being chained down like this and unable to access her abilities properly is enough to wear on her patience. a hairline crack in that perfect mask.

she's pulled along in zoro's direction, the sudden tug managing to tease a slight hitch of breath in surprise barely heard above the sound of chain links clattering, and then a slower exhale at the light brush of roughened knuckles over her hip. there's not much space between them (unsurprising), but he doesn't invite himself to touch her further even with the cover of darkness as a convenient excuse. how considerate.
]

Which way? [ a playful quip, given the fact that they can hardly tell left from right at the moment. and then, more seriously: ] I'll follow you.
looksout: dnt, sekuhara (059;)

[personal profile] looksout 2026-05-16 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it really is irritating to realise that they'd taken his sword away too -- though zoro suspects it's less about the possibility of him being able to cut through the door and escape (these sort of traps seemed to be anything but normal, even from his limited experience), but rather just another means to control and subjugate; he keeps trying to put his hand on the pommel, expecting the familiar grip to be there, but instead he swings his hand at nothing at all.

even though the other is unable to see it he still scowls at the little quip, not liking the attempt at levity in his prickly state. ]


This way. [ there is another tug, but this time she would feel the difference in care, zoro only pulling the chain in the direction and patiently waiting for her to sense the shift and move accordingly. ]

I want to find the doorway first.

[ let's hope that eventually they will hit some kind of wall in their searching, but with zoro being in charge? they might just go around in blind circles. ]
palmful: (pic#18473438)

[personal profile] palmful 2026-05-17 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ him not tugging her along every which way is appreciated, and she's able to keep pace with him once she finds her footing, ending up half a step behind him. the darkness makes everything feel both suffocating and endless, a void where it feels like no distance has been achieved at all as they continue shuffling blindly around. after the third time he changes their direction, robin pauses and grasps his wrist, preventing him from turning them around again. ]

Let's keep to this way.

[ they're bound to encounter a wall at some point, and it'll be much easier to narrow down the doorway from there. ]
looksout: dnt, sekuhara (180;)

[personal profile] looksout 2026-05-17 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ zoro is going to get a permanent frown line on his face from how much he is scowling at this entire business ... but this room feels much bigger than what he had initially assumed it seems like, because no matter what they don't seem to be finding any walls. which is probably the main reason why he doesn't brush off her hand immediately when robin pulls him to heel from doing another about-turn in the dark, instead letting her take the lead in directing them both.

seems like that was the right decision after all, because after going another couple of metres or so, his outstretched hand finally presses up against a solid surface. ]

[It's a decent place to find himself, even if he's not particularly keen on the blindfold. Once off, things are better — he's comfortable enough to lounge on the velvet loveseat in his pod, smoking with one hand, glass of neat whiskey dangling in the other. He exhales in a plume up to the ceiling when he hears the woman's voice finally emerge on the other side. He likes the sound of it, words lilting in a low tone; he'd enjoy hearing more of it.]

Tyki Mikk. Eight of Spades, since that's often relevant here. What about yourself?

[He talks conversationally as he sips from the glass, letting liquor cloud his mind just enough to blur the edges.]
palmful: (pic#18457946)

[personal profile] palmful 2026-05-16 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ tyki mikk. the first unfamiliar name she's formally encountered during her stay so far, but no less intriguing. it's a shame she can't put a face to it, but perhaps she will, depending on how their conversation goes. ]

You may call me Miss All-Sunday. [ giving out her alias is habit by now, even if she's sure it doesn't hold the same importance here as it does back home. ] I'm what they call a Wildcard. I understand that's what they give to new guests.

[ eight of spades, though. not a royal suit, but certainly not something to overlook. ]

Which means you've been here for some time, no?
joyd: (✝ closer to god)

[personal profile] joyd 2026-05-17 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Miss All-Sunday? That's an interesting name.

[He hasn't heard anything like it since arriving here — it sounds more like something he might encounter back home, resembling a title more than true name. An Exorcist, a lone soldier... It could be anything, but it seems significant. He shouldn't make assumptions, though.]

Not too long, but I fear I'm starting to lose track of the days. It's all the same here. Drinking, gambling, having fun... If you don't like any of that, you may not enjoy your extended stay.

[ Easy going person that he is, it's not difficult at all for the staff to herd Zahid where he needs to be for today's burst of activity. From what he's gathered so far, none of the games cause any real, physical harm, so there's no reason not to follow along. The worst that can happen is that he finds himself with a sexy stranger bent over and being spanked -- or something to that effect. There's a general theme to the happenings within the hotel.

Once he's locked within the pod, he starts helping himself to the food and drinks available, pouring himself a glass of wine.

The woman behind the partition has a low, sultry voice, demanding his immediate attention. ]


Zahid. [ That's the voice of someone who was probably a treat for the eyes. Now he's sitting up more proper and focused. ]

I could listen to you all day. Your name?

[personal profile] misswednesday 2026-05-16 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding, they say...but then again, this marriage may be doomed from the start. From the adjoining dressing room, Robin will hear muffled voices, some cooing and fawning, one a little more ardent, perhaps even flat in tone. When the door opens, Vivi appears with a soft frown in a relatovely simple gown, cream-colored and form-fitting. She opens her mouth, intent on issuing an apology, but the sight of Robin stops her cold.

Immediately, she's aware of her distinct lack of weaponry. There's an ornate pin in her hair, but she knows well enough that Miss All Sunday will be able to hold her back even before she reaches for it.

A tense silence follows.]


Miss All Sunday.

[Her voice radiates coolness, hiding a faint tremor at the end.]

[ robin is adjusting her hat in the full length mirror when vivi comes out of the room, her unexpected appearance enough of a surprise that she actually pauses for the same amount of time as recognition settles in. it'd be a lie to say vivi was someone she expected would be here—she had assumed she would be met with the other baroque works agents first, even if that probability is slim at best. this resort reeks of crocodile's aesthetic, opulence to a near disgusting degree, but she has her doubts that he's had anything to do with it. he still has a use and a need for robin, after all.

which doesn't bring her any close to unraveling this particular mystery. the tense silence stretches and then breaks with vivi's voice, and robin's lips curve up in a brief smile. cool and poised, as a princess should be.
]

What a surprise to see you here, Miss Wednesday. [ she turns away from the mirror to face her properly, her expression devoid of the tension from earlier. ] Or is it Princess Vivi now?

[ how long has she been here, she wonders. is she a wildcard like herself, or a proper guest? if it's the latter, she has the advantage of information and experience. but given that it appears she isn't exempt from the resort's games, perhaps that advantage isn't so insurmountable. ]

[ There's a kind of resigned acceptance that Sanji's adopted about all of the Peacock's odd demands, which means he barely questions it when he's led off blindfolded. It's a bit like having a customer with a peculiar order—enough to raise a brow over, but not so demanding that it's troublesome.

The pod itself is almost cozy. Tight spaces like this don't bother him, and he's just as quick to pick out what looks to be the nicest wine they have on hand—although it's no Déesse—and pour a generous glass for himself. He's just recorking the bottle when he hears the voice from the other side of the wall and grins at it. Definitely not anyone he's met before, but—

Apologies, lovely, didn't realize I already had a partner over there. My name's Sanji. [ The way he speaks—voice quiet, but full of bright enthusiasm—just before he sinks down on the couch hides nothing away. ] What's yours?

(Waking up somewhere different from where Luffy had gone to sleep isn't a new thing, but the pirate captain has yet to find a way to counter it, his first introduction to the new event being that of rolling off the top bunk and landing on his face with a grunt. Anyone normal would be concerned about such things, but Luffy's curiosity mixed with the knowledge that the resort liked to play games means he's already getting to his feet, only just managing to pull his robe closed at the last second to spare any blushes.

From what he can see it's just a room, with bunk beds and a young woman nearby. There's also a rack of clothing that could be interesting, and Luffy wanders on over to it, giving Robin a friendly smile. He doesn't recognise her, she must be new, and yet there's confidence in how the young woman manages to choose an outfit so quickly that he can't help but feel impressed. There's also a moment of confusion as the pirate captain picks up a veil, turning it over in his hands, expression puzzled.

Where does this even go? (Before Luffy can clarify, a hand appears to place a hat on Robin's hand before vanishing. The action is noticed, Luffy used to putting up with Buggy and hands being where they shouldn't be, and there's no way he isn't going to ask about it.) Was that your hand?

[ 'Worry' isn't the right word. 'Stare' is closer, less like someone who's just seen a human limb grow where it shouldn't and more like those petals actually fell from a freshly bloomed tree. Magnificent.

Unfortunately, that's also the sort of look that precedes questions, and the man still dressed only in his nicely ironed slacks and untucked shirt wastes no time in approaching so he can get those started.

You seem to be enjoying yourself, miss.
