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!

alhaitham | genshin impact | four of clubs | current character/player

[personal profile] wellpaid 2026-05-16 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
i. EXTREME DATING CHALLENGE: TOO HOT
[ Alhaitham is an unwilling participant in most of the games he has been hassled into, that most definitely includes the current situation. The producers aren’t enthused by his reluctance to participate in costumes and now he’s dressed up in a mesh top, almost entirely see-through and tight leather pants, some manner of harness clinging to his chest.

As can be expected, Alhaitham looks moody where he sits. He’s holding an ice cream cone, the vanilla melting and dripping over the cone and over the paper holder, dripping down his hand in a way that makes him grimace. This is easily the most ridiculous ask from the producers yet.

He’s meant to be seductively licking up the cream.
]

Ugh.

[ The task has made him completely averse to even the idea of the desert in his hand. For the first time in perhaps the entirety of his years, he’s grateful he didn’t bring a book with him. He’d hate for it to get sticky. ]

Did you want this?

ii. LUST IS BIRDS
[ Alhaitham is not a fan of the games, needless to say. When he’s blindfolded, his senses remain sharp, waiting for the next crude humiliation. It’s a pleasant surprise when he’s led to a modest pod that appears quite comfortable. It’s almost too good to be true.

He helps himself to a bottle of wine and makes himself comfortable on the couch. He peruses the snacks and blatantly ignores the jars so helpfully provided. With a glass of wine to sip on, he browses the offered TV with meager interest.

He’s in absolutely no rush to break the silence between him and his unluckily chosen partner. Certainly they’ve heard him rummaging around and browsing the TV, cracking open the wine and pouring him a glass.

Alhaitham is definitely not the staff’s favorite.
]

iii. BEAK GAMES
[ Blindfolded again.

He expects the staff have been dissatisfied with his lack of enthusiastic participation and intend to bring him to yet another game of Lust is Birds. When the blindfold is undone, it’s to pitch black darkness. Every muscle is tense with the realization this is not the familiar, comfortable pod of the previous game.

Furthermore, there was the added weight of the metal they had cuffed onto his wrists. Both wrists. When he moves, he feels the heaviness attached to it, the rattle of the chain, and he knows from the soft sound of breathing — he’s been chained to someone, not something. The game’s objective is announced, including the very helpful advice to check their anal cavities.

Alhaitham exhales a heavy breath, shutting his eyes against the pitch black darkness around them.
]

I’d rather not stand here all day. Do you want to start or should I?

iv. CONFESSIONAL
ALHAITHAM
SCRIBE
"Not interested."

AGE: 26
GENDER: m
CARD: 4 of clubs
ROLE: dom top
FAVORITE POSITION: at the library
SEXIEST FEATURE: his perky chest
SEEKING: he has a particular preference for blond men

HOT NERDS IN YOUR AREA NOW. This one is a hard lay and a stickler for good behavior. Those arms must be good for more than toting books around... like bullying fussy bottoms. Loud types need not apply.

[ It feels a little like karmic justice that the first time they met it was Kanae in a ridiculous outfit, and now it's Alhaitham onto whom the tables have been turned. —Well, not entirely karmic justice, since even the ridiculous outfit looks good on him. Kanae wasn't just saying it to say it when he observed how nice Alhaitham's body is, and the mesh and leather definitely accentuate the finer features. Not that Kanae exactly gets the impression that Alhaitham knows how best to put these assets to use...

For his own part, the producers have been a little kinder to him. He's been wrangled into a sheer top with a waist chain underneath that chimes lightly when he moves, and a pair of loose, flowy pants. From where he's seated in an adjacent armchair, he props his chin in his hand and watches a drop of melted ice cream run down the corded muscle of Alhaitham's forearm. ]


Depends on what "this" you mean, [ he says, his gaze flicking briefly up to meet Alhaitham's. ] I think the ice cream is all yours, but I don't mind the view.

[ He does, however, reach out to trail a fingertip up Alhaitham's arm. That probably doesn't count as sexual contact, right? And it's all Kanae when he pulls his hand back to lick his fingers clean. ]

[personal profile] wellpaid 2026-05-17 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ It’s almost hard to recognize the man across from his as the same one encountered that day. The outfit back then hadn’t been bad at all — Kanae’s attractive features had definitely been accentuated in the skimpy bunny suit. Not that they aren’t now. For all his ears are sensitive and intolerant, the soft chime of the chains dangling across Kanae’s body are pleasant.

Which is all to say, Alhaitham isn’t blind. He has looked and appreciated the sight beside him.

The stoic line of his mouth twitches when Kanae’s finger connects with his arm, goosebumps popping up in response to the pad of his finger dragging through the small trail of melting ice cream. His eyes follow the movement, including when Kanae brings it to mouth, licking it up. Intentional. Kanae knows very well how that looks.

The game continues and Alhaitham concludes the contact doesn’t count as sexual. He’d dispute that if he cared to pretend anything here was reasonable.
]

…If you wanted a taste, you could have asked.

[ And Alhaitham would have given him the whole thing.

With napkins conveniently absent, after a noiseless sigh, he brings his hand up to lick at the slowly trickling line of melted ice cream before the problem worsens.

[ Zahid's never really seen the point of these blind booths. Isn't physical attraction half the part of dating and hooking up? He certainly doesn't think he would date a person he found unattractive. Still, it's probably a bid to let people get to know each other as humans before deciding if they want to hook up. It might be a disaster if you find yourself disappointed when you see the other person, or they see you! There's no harm going along with it, and he gets free food, so he does.

Only, after settling down with some wine, he finds that he's met with complete silence. Not a peep out of the other person. Was there even someone there? He could hear some rustling, but that could easily be someone in the staff.

Eventually, he calls out a little louder than he should. ]


Hellooooo? Is anyone there?

[personal profile] wellpaid 2026-05-17 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ This game of matchmaking is modest, by the resort’s standards. He’s not interested in being matched with anyone, but that’s not an answer the staff are ever willing to take. Thanks to this place’s latest antics, there’s already a ring on his finger and it’s not even the first time. It seems contrary that they would be still pushing to match him up. Haven’t they already? (Repeatedly.)

Knowing it does little good to fuss, Alhaitham has no qualms making a dent in the plush couch provided, sipping the wine and wholly pretending there is no one on the other side of the partition. An idea that was entirely too optimistic. While he offers nothing, appreciating the relative peace in his own pod, his match evidently didn’t come to the same understanding as him.

What’s more, Alhaitham knows that voice.

A little too loud, but familiar. Alhaitham would relate it to a puppy getting loud when its owner left it alone. Zahid likely did as good left alone as one.
]

Zahid. No need to shout, I can hear you just fine.
luckbranch: (097)

[personal profile] luckbranch 2026-05-17 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ A contrast from the lukewarm response he is getting, Zahid can't help but crack into a smile when he finds that he recognises the other voice. The silence he was paid before suddenly makes so much sense. Of course Alhaitham would prefer some peace and quiet over making idle small talk and half-hearted flirtations with a stranger he could not see. He can imagine the other man sitting in his poised way and sipping his wine as they speak. Would the staff have been kind enough to give him a book to read as well? He would certainly prefer that over anything else that might be happening, including talking to Zahid.

And this is even after they got to explore each other's bodies a little. He doesn't think much needs to be said about that in a place like this. There is some manner of pride he has over being able to score with this cold and reserved man, but Zahid knows to keep that to himself.

He'll shut up if Alhaitham tells him to. For now, the other man will have to deal with his chatting. ]


Alhaitham? No wonder things were so quiet. Did they have to drag you out of your room to do this?
wellpaid: (pic#16425486)

[personal profile] wellpaid 2026-05-17 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ The catastrophe from before has resolved itself as all things do around the resort… only to give way to a new disruption. The staff never quite quit badgering him, already knowing very well that left to his own devices he would slink right past whatever gaudy festivities or entertainment the casino is parading, instead spending his time solely between Kaveh’s suite and the library. The library within Kaveh’s luxurious suite could be enough if Alhaitham hadn’t already tasted the expansive collection Swan Lake offers.

Including Zahid.

Alhaitham passes that small broom closet frequently and it’d be somewhat off the mark to say he doesn’t think of that moment.

As sociable and unrepentantly needy as Zahid is, it’s no surprise to find him attempting to match up with someone. It shouldn’t be a hardship to find him a partner.
]

And I suppose you were their willing participant, hm?

[ Zahid likely can’t hear the almost chuckle — Alhaitham doesn’t deny that he was the unwilling participant here. Maybe if he’d stayed in his room he would have avoided this. ]
luckbranch: (007)

[personal profile] luckbranch 2026-05-17 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Believe it or not, he did have some fleeting interest in finding something to read, which was the reason he had wandered into the library searching for the man he associated most with books. There wasn't any real plan to end up where they ended up, but the outcome was serendipitous more than anything to Zahid. He got to see another side to Alhaitham which he probably won't forget. The question then, is whether or not he'll get lucky with this man again, but that's one for Zahid to figure out slowly. ]

There's no harm, right? They give us free food and wine. Makes it easier on the staff if I just go along too.

[ They sure are lucky to have pulled someone so promiscuous and easy-going. ]

And if it goes well, I get lucky?
wellpaid: (pic#18164355)

[personal profile] wellpaid 2026-05-17 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You’re too kind, [ Alhaitham says after a short, quiet moment, sitting the wine glass down. He had to be certain he heard correctly.

What a bizarre thought.

Zahid is too generous. Promiscuous behavior aside, it’s hard not to take note that Zahid is what many would regard as a good person. That’s more obvious than ever with that comment. Alhaitham has not once considered if his actions make the staff’s lives easier. Abetting in their kidnapping, drugging, and frequently nonconsensual circumstances — Alhaitham finds it difficult to sympathize with any difficulty his noncompliant behavior may cause.

Even if Zahid may be benefitting by, as he calls it, ‘getting lucky.’
]

Out of curiosity, do you miss home?

[ Alhaitham asks with some interest, gaze wandering to the partition dividing them. ]

[personal profile] wellpaid 2026-05-17 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Alhaitham keeps some illusion of dignity by standing still for the blindfold that he never agreed to. Greedy as this place is, it will never be satisfied — not even with the ring still on Alhaitham’s finger. It wasn’t all that long ago he was fussed into a suit, dressed up in a sleek tux that Alhaitham found foreboding from the start. He’d been ushered to the chapel, the gaudy casino chapel as offensive as one could expect.

Kaveh had been quite the sight, however.

Perhaps the dress was… a touch more revealing than he suspects Kaveh might have selected for a public wedding in their home.

The thought is reevaluated as he considers the impressive slit Kaveh’s ordinarily wears down the back of his shirt in Sumeru. The front as well. He’s always been well manicured and stylish... and Alhaitham is perfectly familiar with the lingerie selection he keeps, delicate lace and patterns. Perhaps this dress is to his aesthetic tastes.

Contemplating the great, expansive glimpses of skin the dress offered is neither here nor there as he’s led into yet another game he didn’t consent to. He exhales a sigh through his nose as cold metal is fastened around his wrist.

Another moment later, they’re given the announcement that they’re free to undo their blindfolds and something poorly resembling instruction. As Alhaitham reaches behind his head to undo the loose knot of the blindfold, he becomes immediately aware of the resistance he meets, the chain rattling before pulling. The tension is at such an angle he considers precisely what placement that would suggest and is wholly unsurprised. Neither is he surprised when he bullies a little more length from the chain and gets his blindfold off — he drops the bit of cloth to the floor, his eyes finding the room pitch black.

He can’t see anything, not even right in front of his face.

Not even his unwitting partner.

[ The day has been...

Well. Kaveh is still trying to process it.

It started with him being slipped into a shirt and pants combo that seemed more like a dress than anything else, lacy and revealing and cut all the way down to his navel, showing off the twin piercings at his chest and trailing down long past his hips. It's not the first time the House has done mock weddings, and so he played along without too much of a fuss—only to find out at the altar that his husband was to be Alhaitham.

Perhaps he shouldn't have been as surprised as he was. The resort has had a penchant for throwing them together like this since the other returned. And it's not like he's complaining, besides. Alhaitham had been a fantastic husband in Goldeville, and even if he hadn't, he's still Alhaitham.

Kaveh found that, actually, he was a little excited. Being newlyweds meant, perhaps, a proper honeymoon, which—

apparently translates to them being separated and blindfolded and shoved into a room that is just as dark without the blindfold as it is with, and something metal wrapped around Kaveh's neck, which tenses and pulls when they're told they can take the blindfolds off. Kaveh is left with no idea where Alhaitham is, or what he's doing, and a sore neck as he yelps, dragged a little roughly as the person on the other half of it pulls for more chain. ]


Hey—! Be careful, would you? You'll choke me.

[ Gingerly, he raises a hand to his throat and rubs at the metal, frowning as he's quiet for a moment, processing what the voice has told them... and then sighing. ]

If it happens to be there, I'm at least going to need your name first.
