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!

[personal profile] onlyasuggestion 2026-05-16 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)



Floyd Leech
Monsieur Malfeasant
"Whaat? You want me to squeeze you tightly? Okaay~♪"

AGE: 18
GENDER: Male ♂
CARD: Wild
ROLE: Whatever I wanna be~
FAVORITE POSITION: All of them!
SEXIEST FEATURE: Eeh? I dunno. I get compliments on my skin a lot. And people stare at my tail and fins! Wait'll they see me all lit up~
SEEKING: Something fun and exciting! I don't wanna be bored here.

Wild, unpredictable, the calmest pool or the raging sea, if you're looking for a fun time, Floyd's your man. The most exciting catch of all! Who wants to do the same thing all the time? Shake it up, mix it up, buck those stuffy trappings. Basketball, cooking, dancing, parkour, music, exploration, studying, and even magic! Did we mention he's a twin? There's no end to your wish list with this fish!

1) THE NEWLYWED GAME. - Wandering

Eeeh? What happened to all the tables?

[Up goes one hand, plops at the back of his head, and rub rub rub as his face reflects some curious confusion. Last time he was here, all these tables were full of green felt and red/black patterns for casino games. Now everything looks like a setup for one of those wedding parties his mom occasionally attends. And look, the napkins are all silky and pretty, really high quality stuff. They put in a lot of money for this. Well, "money" in this case means little. It's all this place's magical output, right?

Whoops, now this table's place mat's a little cockeyed and the napkin's messed up. Seemingly completely beyond his scope as an imposingly tall lanky guy wanders off through clusters of white-drenched circles and seating. Maybe Floyd's not supposed to be here early, or he got lost, or did he simply wander in for something to do? Who knows. But you might wanna stop him before he ends up switching all the glasses! ... Or swiping all the roses from a bunch of tables and stuffing them into ONE table's vase.]


Eheh, I wonder if they'd fight over the biggest bouquet~

2) THE NEWLYWED GAME. - Self Report

Gyahahah! These cards are hilarious!

[While he's luckily managed to skip all that marriage stuff, Floyd certainly showed up to the gala-like event. Decked out in a fancy sea-gray suit with black and lavender accents, he's long-since ditched his tie, leaving the undershirt opened down to his collarbones and his fedora-esque hat perched on the chair point behind his shoulder. White gloved fingers spread a whole bunch of cards between them, breaking all the rules of chancing out on unknown questions. But he looks so happy! Eyes closed in a brilliant laugh, sharp teeth gleaming in his open mouth. Whoever his poor partner is across from him is about to get a ribbing of a lifetime.]

Okay okay! Next one!

a) What kinda things make you go doki doki in the bedroom?
b) Hoooh? This one's goin all out. What's your favorite toy?
c) If you could kidnap one person from home and bring 'em here, who'd it be?
d) [Or try to make him ACTUALLY play the game...]


➤   🫧 •.˚○˙∘   MY SWAN AND ONLY LOVE   ∘˙○˚.• 🫧

1) LUST IS BIRDS. - Fish Tank

[He really didn't like the idea of getting blindfolded at first. Being back in this weird place was exciting one moment, annoying the other. Hey, he never agreed to get kidnapped again! But then the excitement of feeling around blind and relying on his other senses took over. It's like a game where his ears and nose are the main guides! Until they stuffed him in a pod. Moh, what's the point of being blindfolded if he's stuck inside a little room with a wall on all sides? Can't get out, already tried, and they're not allowed to go through the partition to team up with the other person? That's not fun at all.

*clunk*]


Ow! [-oof! Pain shoots up his leg and his knee whines at him in icy tones trying to make him laugh and whimper at the same time. Almost sends him to the ground, one arm flailing and bouncing off what feels like a cushion. Look, banging his knee into furniture never feels good! He never had to worry about that with his tail!] Moh! This sucks! I'm not wearing this anymore! [Yoink! No more blindfold! A ripping noise crosses the partition and he spreads his arms in a presumptuous show of tearing cloth loops into cloth strips.] All gone~ ... hm?

Hey look! They've got food in here! [A whole minibar and couch and blankets and tv screen!] Yahoo! They got shrimp!

[Yeah, what were they in here for again? SHRIMP!]


➤   🫧 •.˚○˙∘   AROUND THE RESORT   ∘˙○˚.• 🫧

1) PHOENIX CASINO. - Slot Swipe

[Hey, slot machines! He did these earlier! They're not as fun as arcade games, cause it's all so random, but he's gotten pretty lucky with the ones he did before? With other people's money, but at least he asked first! Kind of. Not really. They didn't seem to mind. But these machines look fun. A buncha red ones and black ones. Long legs, long steps, arms swinging by his side as he wanders between the rows, watching the occasional pull of machine handles and rolling wheels behind the glass. Some are physical, some are digital, differing in design and decoration depending on their medium. Stopping in front of one machine, he digs a hand into his pocket, the sound of chips shucking against each other follows, and tugs one out before sending it rolling down the slot machine chute. And pull! Round and round those wheels go! It's the best part of the slot machine! Even better than the surprise ending.]

Eeeh? You're pretty good at that! [Hang on. Whoever you are, you're not alone anymore. Instead, someone's practically leaning over your shoulder, an imposingly tall lanky guy grinning beside your cheek and showing off rows of sharp white teeth that gleam in the glow of slot machine screen.]

Ahah~ Look at all the coins! [Well, those are chips, but they're as good as coins, so he reaches down and swipes a pawful from a cupped slot.] Ya got so many~ ... You don't mind if I try, right? [And going for the slot machine handle to give it a yank!] I wanna jackpot!

2) CRANE'S RESPITE. - Moray Meet

[Aaah... Feels good to be back in the water again. Jade mentioned the pools last time he was here, but he only got to go twice before he was shunted off home again. This time, Floyd made full intent to dive right. And dive he does! Entering with a splash and vanishing beneath the pool water with nary a sight left behind. Reminds him a lot of the caves back home in the Coral Sea. So many twists and turns winding throughout the stone like a submerged labyrinth. Most areas are easy to swim through, but some require claws digging into the rocks and squeeeeze *pop!* and he's through! As long as he can get his shoulders past, the rest of him follows without issue. Doesn't even scratch him~ Hm? So where's he at now? Another pool. Seems like most of them are connected. A pair of mismatched eyes peer up from below the water, nigh-camouflaged in the glowing lights below. He eschewed the "modern" pools and instead stuck with the natural rock-type baths. Way more fun. Speaking of fun...

Where are you? A pair of legs dangling in the water. A body half-submerged in the pool's shallow end? Or perhaps you're gearing up to go for a bit of spelunking yourself. None of those options matter. Not when what feels like clawed fingers abruptly snake around your shoulder or ankle, biting brief into your skin, and one good yank-]


CHOMP!! [Water splashes! A monster's got you! All scales and splashes, claws and sharp teeth, fins and tail, glowing eyes and- laughing up a storm.] Gyahahaha! You looked like you're about to die! [That is one very long strip of sea green fish man holding onto you in the bath, cackling and having the time of his life. Floyd isn't letting go either, giving his new companion a few shakes and tugs.] Oh man, I wanna picture of your face right now!


➤   🫧 •.˚○˙∘   OOC NOTES   ∘˙○˚.• 🫧

1) Yes, he's also an eel merman. I've got a prompt for that if you wanna meet him in his true form. If you'd like to encounter him in his merform elsewhere, let me know and I'll work up a personal starter for you! Anywhere from finding him in a pool to lounging in a bath, or going the tried and true "magic ran out so now we're on fins not legs" accident. Likewise, I am 150% open to sex in his merform, but mind you this can come with scratching and biting and other fishy stuff.

2) Floyd is infamous for being very unpredictable and having major mood swings. If he loses interest in something, he will drop it almost instantly and leave, no matter how interested he was in it previously. Likewise, if something else suddenly catches his attention, he will switch to it without hesitation and drag you with him should he feel like it. IF a thread is going in either direction, I will PM you and let you know to see how you want to proceed.

3) Floyd's also a mage with impressive magical skill for his age and grade. Magic is both well-defined and vaguely applied in Twisted Wonderland, so spells can range anywhere from gravitating small items towards yourself to creating several hard-hitting torrents of water. It also produces a corrosive byproduct called "blot" within the mages, but that's likely not going to be a problem in this event...


[OOC: Yosh, trying this again and hopefully life calms down. Yo! Introducing Floyd Leech, the twin brother of our resident Jade Leech and equally as troublesome, but in an entirely different way! Note: he's currently 18 from the canon point I'm taking him. All threads can stay SFW or go NSFW without a problem. Generally open to most things; you can find my klist here. I don't have a lot of information in his journal yet, but feel free to PM me if you have questions or check out his wikis here here.]

[It was supposed to be one of the more private cave pools... or at least, not a commonly sought out one, according to what Jade had told him the last time they were here.

Azul has come here for a private swim, albeit in human form. He doesn't want to be in merform if he can help it... Not like how he was the last time he was here. What an embarrassing affair that whole thing was.

But just because he's not in octopus form doesn't make him less wary, so when he senses the presence of something else in the water now, he turns in the direction of where he thinks it may be coming from, prepared to cast magic at who or whatever dares to disturb him...

Only for his attacker to not only be slightly faster than Azul to react, but upon hearing that very familiar voice and laugh, Azul startles, unable to help his shout of surprise.]


Floyd!?
onlyasuggestion: (pic#18474064)

octo overload!

[personal profile] onlyasuggestion 2026-05-17 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[What's a "private pool" mean when all of them (most of them) are connected with all these cave tunnels? He can get to any one he wants! Makes him wonder what the toilets do in this place... and the shower drains... Do they all got to the same place? Actually, he had the same question last time he was here! Food! Where's the food come from? Where's it go? Jade said this place was its own little world, so does the excess get yeeted out into open space? But there's no "out" anyone can find...

So maybe a big room full of nothing but rotting food! Hahaha! GROSS!

Oh, right, he was attacking someone. All splashes and grabbing! What're they gonna do? Are they gonna struggle? Are they gonna scream? Is it gonna be entertaining or a big boring letdown? Yay! There's the scream! (It wasn't much a scream.) But it's not the decibel, it's the voice. He'd recognize that tenor anywhere~ Meaning both arms abruptly snake around a pair of shoulders and *squeeeze!* getting Azul all wet and kinda slimy!]


Haha! Azuuul~♪ Your voice got so high! Did I scare you?
octoblot: (the carp plays the harp)

[personal profile] octoblot 2026-05-17 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
H--hardly!

[Azul huffs, recovering quickly and now holding up a hand prepared to try to push Floyd off of him here if he squeezes Azul too tight... but for now, doesn't quite act on it just yet.

It's the closest you're probably going to get him to admit that he missed Floyd, letting him squeeze him here for now.]


I'm not scared, I'm annoyed that you thought it was appropriate to grab at me like this while I'm trying to take a bath. You should know better than that by now--you're lucky I didn't hit you with something for that...
onlyasuggestion: (pic#18474084)

[personal profile] onlyasuggestion 2026-05-17 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He's gonna get that hand bitten if he keeps it up too close to his face too long. Floyd's happy to sit here and squeeze Azul for a little bit longer. Even though he just saw him a few hours ago back home, not the same here! Plus Azul makes funny face when he's grumpy and riled. And he knows Azul missed him~]

Eh? You were tryin to take a bath? [Cue his head peering around, looking for signs of soap or shampoo rather than Azul simply lounging in a pool for relaxation. Where's the suds?] When else am I gonna grab ya? You're always so on guard...
octoblot: (your voice)

[personal profile] octoblot 2026-05-17 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm taking a quick soak here, then I plan on moving elsewhere to bathe.

[He clarifies, hence why there isn't any sign of soap and the like here yet. Though now that Floyd is here, it might not be such a "quick" dip in the pool anymore as he regards the eel for a moment before he quietly speaks.]

Jade told me that he saw you here some time ago, but by the time I went to go see for myself, I couldn't locate you.

[Did this place seriously snatch Floyd up to bring him here a second time, after failing to somehow keep him here the first time? How? Does Floyd even remember how he got here in the first place or how he ended up back at home again, even if only briefly?]
onlyasuggestion: (pic#18472071)

[personal profile] onlyasuggestion 2026-05-17 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. If you try to go somewhere now, you're gonna have to carry me~ [Cue another loop of eel tail coiling round Azul's waist simply because he can. And maybe he doesn't want Azul going anywhere right now. Not so soon after he just met him here! There's so much to talk about! At least he eases up on the embrace, leaning back a bit and showing lip set in small pout.]

I was only here a week and then I was back home. This stupid place kicked me out while you and Jade got to have all this fun without me. [Does he sound grumpy and jealous? Yes. Because he is. Peering into Azul's face, eyes all narrowed and voice dropping into his deeper threatening glide.] What kinda stuff have you been getting into? I wanna know all about it~

[Sure. Don't ask at all about home or Azul's memories; nope, this is way more important!]
octoblot: (and I help them)

[personal profile] octoblot 2026-05-17 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
We have not been having "fun" here, Floyd.

[Or at least, Azul is stubborn and refuses to admit that any fun has been had. Especially not for the kind of "stuff" Azul has been getting into, which upon being asked, Azul seems rather embarrassed, a slight pink to his cheeks at the thoughts that come to mind briefly before he responds.]

I've been trying to find out a solution that will lead to being able to return us back to Twisted Wonderland, obviously. What else would I be concerning myself with otherwise?

[He says, as if that's totally what Floyd had been asking details for. But he isn't intimidated by Floyd's slightly threatening tone. Not yet, anyway.]

Eh? But they have all these attractions! Arcade, school, gymnasium, it's even bigger than Playful Land. Are ya just being stubborn?

[He's under no delusion the excitement of one place will wear off after a while, but Jade mentioned the "events" change almost monthly. He even gets to see it this time! The casino turned into a wedding venue! How cool is that? Minus the boring wedding ceremony he spent two minutes at and slipped on out. Gueh, gettin hitched? No thanks.]

Hmmm? Azul's turnin into a big octopus! [The reddish orange ones! Look at those ruddy cheeks. He even pokes the left flush with his finger, squishing Azul's cheek like he needs a physical reminder.]

Oh yeah? What'd ya find? [Curious. Slime smooth skin ghosts across the other merman's as Floyd ease his tail's grip and starts sliding off as he sinks back into the water. Squeezing done! Exploring and chatting begins~]

[ Maybe instead of up, Floyd should have been looking down. Jade has been resting on the bottom of some of these baths, you see. And the sudden movement in the water? Well that has Jade's senses stirring, the eel now looking around at his surroundings.

And my oh my. If it isn't his adorable and precious twin. Now, of course he finds it curious that Floyd would appear yet again, but he isn't going to just ignore his sibling. How could Jade do such a thing?

But, really, Floyd should be on his guard. Why? Because Jade is going to bolt up towards his twin to try to grapple and wrap around him before Floyd can even register what's going on.

Dangerous? Of course. Fun? Absolutely. ]

[Why would he look down? He's been combing those pool floors for the past ten minutes looking for stuff. Nothing but boring smooth floors and zilch for entertaining finds. So he's looking up this time! For someone who might be innocently bobbin around at the surface in need of some excitement. He used to look up a lot as a little mer. Poking his head above the water, looking out at ships or land and wondering what it'd be like and all those pretty things like fireworks and beach parties and automobiles cruising past the dunes behind-

Movement!

Instinct and senses flare instantly, noting water current shift by the barest fluctuation of his fins. He grew up having to dodge sharks and predators out of nowhere. There's only one person who could outspeed all those and rush him!]


OOF! [Right in the stomach! Because he took it in the stomach! Folding over his twin's shoulder with a screeching laugh, he grabs for Jade's back (minding his dorsal fin), tail quickly snaring around his brother's in a fast wrap.] Is that how you wanna play?! TAKE THIS!

[Dangerous? Yes. Happy? Very yes!]

[ Thankfully this is play fighting. There won't be scratching and biting. If either one of them were to engage in those behaviors... Well let's just say it would become messy quickly. Neither one of them are the sort to back down from a fight and they'd most certainly almost kill one another.

So the name of the game here is to see who can tangle up who and squeeze them tightly first. Grappling and squeezing only! ]


What can I say? I missed you. Dearly so, my darling brother.

[ But Floyd is just as vicious and as willing to play dirty as Jade. Actually, that magic of Floyd's could make it difficult. Thankfully, Jade is squeezing his brother about the waist and now going into a roll to keep Floyd from getting his bearings too quickly. ]

[How many times have they almost killed each other in the past? Hmm... good question. Enough their parents sat them down for a good talking to after they came back all beat up, tail fins tattered and cuts stinging in the water. Couple bite marks matching each other's mouths. What a scolding. But this? This is fun! Wrestle wrestle! He can try to pin Jade all he wants without any risk!

Problem is, the squeezing and grappling part isn't the easiest when he's trying to wrangle someone as slippery as himself! Go for the shoulders or the arms! Tail comes later! Can't very well grab a bunch of tail in his arms and hold it when Jade can slip right out.]


'ruseeii. You and Azul were havin a bunch of fun here while I was stuck back home. [He knows this isn't entirely true, but he also wouldn't want Jade stuck in a golden cage pining away for him either. In other words, Jade better agree with him on that comment AND acknowledge he hurt poor Floyd's feelings. (Yeah right.) Hands on shoulders and trying to shoooove him down while wriggling like a fish on a hook. Oof! Clam hug!]

[ They have most certainly have been scolded for their behavior. Of course it has also been ignored here and there. At least their desire to to keep each other alive and the fact that they like each other overrides that bloodlust and instinct to maim and bite and claw to make the other bleed.

This, though, is nothing like that. What's going on here is pure playfulness. Jade is working at an advantage. Harder for his twin to slip out from the hold and it's hard for Floyd to get a grip on Jade. He fakes a playful nip by snapping his jaws. ]


I was, yes. [ No need to lie to Floyd. There's no sparing feelings here! ] Why, I even got Azul to shift into his merform. Jealous?

What the hell are you doing?

( From the other side of the partition comes a rather gruff and annoyed voice. It's been at least a few minutes since Guren had been escorted to his side of the pod and succinctly dropped off— just long enough to rip his blindfold off and take a look around before settling down on the couch. Legs kicked up, head resting against the arm, he turns from his stare at the ceiling to squint at the partition itself, as if it might offer some clues as to who he'd gotten paired up with.

None in sight, of course. Just that ugly ass mate button, glowing obnoxiously. But the sounds, from clunks to complaints to excited yapping about shrimp, tell him plenty. Of course they'd set him up with someone annoying. He breathes out his sigh, gaze returning to the ceiling only to close his eyes shortly afterwards. )


Can't you enjoy your shrimp quietly? I'm trying to nap, over here.

Hm? I'm eating. Catcha tell? [Even said "shrimp" and everything. Gruff and annoyed voice? It crashes into his higher-pitched lilt like a rock thrown into the sea. In other words, no effect whatsoever. Actually, no. Not the effect this other person wants it to have. Because now Floyd's yoinking a shrimp from the little cocktail bowl and scooting over to the partition. Didn't hear anyone else come in, but this place runs on magic, so not a big deal. *knock knock knock* goes his knuckles on the panel between them. Che, it's sturdy. He could probably knock it down with a hard kick or some magic...]

What kind do you got over there? [If he has shrimp and cocktail sauce and some wine with water over here, then obviously the person on the other side must have their own brand over there! Unless he's got the same taste as Floyd... in that case, they should share!] We're not supposed to be napping. Tell me.

[Or maybe he'll just push this button... in a minute.]
