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!

Lust is Birds

[indigently]

[ Kaveh has been through a few different podmates by the time he's paired with Xie Lian, so at first when he hears a voice on the other side of the partition, he just shakes his head quietly at the optimism and sips at his wine.

But then... the other mentions something about his shrine, and Kaveh feels something catch in his stomach. The voice is... ]

I have a drink. You should drink something too. [ His own voice is a little strained, even as he tries to keep it light and friendly. ] But I'm afraid waiting it out won't work. The resort... it has ways of getting what it wants from us. So... at least for now, it's best if we talk and get to know each other, right?

[ He takes a breath. He might be wrong. He has to be wrong. If he's right, he has to go through that loss all over again, and... ]

My name is Kaveh.

[disgracedprince]

N-No, I...c-can't. Is it alcohol? {The reminder that he is under governance - control, truly - of another has him sitting again, a soft sigh leaving his lips. Water... Water would be nice. He begins to search for some, unable to read all of the labels or understand the materials used for the bottles!}

I can talk. {It won't change his circumstances, but it might help him lessen his panic so he can think clearly.}

I'm...Xie Lian. Are you uninjured, Kaveh?

[indigently]

[ He's quiet for a moment when the other introduces himself; despite himself, he feels tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. He expected this. He also didn't expect this, somehow.

He sighs, and sips at his drink once more. ]

What I'm drinking is. You don't have to. If you want water, it's the plastic bottle with the blue lid.

[ It's not that he knows he's struggling, really. Just that others have before, and he sounds so unsure of himself... ]

I'm uninjured. [ Physically. His heart hurts, but... there's nothing to be done about that. ] That's not really the sort of place this is, honestly. But you're new here, right?

[disgracedprince]

The...pl...plastic? {He picks up the drink with the blue lid and twists the top...off. Then he brings it to his lips and drinks deeply. Oh. That's better. And so cool too!}

Ah thank you for the guidance. {Xie Lian listens to Kaveh, turning towards his voice. There is something there.}

It doesn't hurt to check. {Take nothing for granted! He learned that lesson the hard way.} I am. I'm not really sure where I belong...

[indigently]

Yeah.

[ He's quiet for a second, feeling a little bad—of course Xie Lian doesn't know what plastic is right now. He didn't either, at first.

But the moment passes, and the other thanks him... which means he drank. He just murmurs a quiet thank you in reply, letting Xie Lian talk.. and frowning to himself as he does. Last time, he didn't meet him until they'd already been here for a little, and he'd grown confident. Hearing him sound so unsure hurts. ]

Not sure where you belong? Will you tell me what you mean?

[disgracedprince]

{He makes a soft sound of pleasant surprise and sips on the cool water gratefully. The quiet questions, phrased so gently, calm him enough to think. What does he mean? Well, that's a long story, isn't it.}

I keep finding myself in situations where... I don't know. It's not what I want, but I have to act regardless. I just wondered what was expected of me now?

[indigently]

[ Kaveh is, once more, quiet for a moment, mulling those thoughts over. Does the other mean here in the resort? Or back home, before this place? He never had the chance to learn everything about Xie Lian's life, but he certainly knows enough to understand why there might be moments when he's doubted himself...

He hums in thought, trying to speak carefully. ]

I'll be honest. I'm sure you've been through a lot, and... suddenly appearing in a place like this is confusing and stressful at best. Perhaps that's even moreso for someone who would want to return to a shrine—no doubt you have a special set of rules and systems that control how you live, and the resort is the sort of place that threatens to break all of those at once.

[ Despite how careful he's trying to be, though, his worry for the other has him continuing on without thought: ]

No matter what happens to you here, though, your San Lang will be understanding, I promise.

[ He realizes what he's said after he's said it, and he cringes. ]

[disgracedprince]

{The rules have never benefited him very much - if at all. Xie Lian thinks he can be rid of them for awhile. It's just jarring and what the resort has requested of him goes strictly against his oaths. He will have to decide what's important and what's more important. Sacrifices seem inevitable.}

My... {He sucks in a sudden breath, amazed and confused.} D-Do you know...San Lang? Ah... Hua Cheng?

{Is he here? The question claws at his throat and he swallows against it.}

My shrine can wait. I feel bad for those who think to pray to me, but there can't be many. {Not anymore. He used to have thousands.}

I'm starting from scratch, you see.
