EVENS
EVENS
Soft. Warm. Cozy.

The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?

As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.

But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.

They’re not alone.

All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?

Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.

The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.

GIFT BASKET DELIGHTS (PLEASE DON’T COMPLAIN) ▷ Charming Novelty T-shirts: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
All Natural Body Care
A Luxury Candle
A Box of Holiday Cookies
12-Pack of Resort Branded Health Items

Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.

All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.

BATHROOM MISCHIEFTHE SOAP WANTS TO DROP: Soap is slippery, but it seems as though some of the bars are intent on slipping out of hand and onto the floor. Some even shoot across the open concept showers and hit someone else. But how could soap throw itself at someone?! Are you sure you're not just looking for attention?

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOURSELF: As the steam from the showers rolls through the bathroom the mirrors begin to fog. Strange enough, fogging the mirrors begins to reveal some kind of message ... and not just any message. Wildcards may discover one of the worst private thoughts they've ever had written out on the mirror for all to see. Hiding it as easy as wiping away the vapor, but you can never really escape your truest thoughts.

SHAM-ME, SHAM-YOU: There are several shampoo scents for wildcards to choose from in the cabinets. One particular formula, Saltmarsh Sparrow, isn't quite like the others. This particular shampoo is designed to pair with the wearer's natural scent. Wildcards may find that they are leaking faint pheromones that incite lust and arousal in potential mates. Use too much shampoo and you may even be affected by your own scent!

YOU, ME, AND THIS COMMUNAL TUB: The communal bathroom also includes a large soaking tub that can accommodate several guests at once. There are scrubbing stones kept around the pool for guest use and jars of mud masks to wear while enjoying a soak. Mud masks will leave even the dullest skin feeling hydrated and fresh—amazing! But... what is this? The very teeny tiny font on the bottom of the jars say, "Mud will not wash off by the same hands that applied it. We recommend finding a partner to apply masks with. Enjoy!"

Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.

But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.

OPEN THIS FUCKING DOORWildcards may find that the closet door will slam closed and lock while they are inside. This will only happen if there are two wildcards inside the closet.

A giggle from the other side of the door is proof that it wasn’t an accident but the voice will not respond to any questions or demands. Only when asked what they need to do to be released will there will be another soft giggle and the demand: “Kiss, kiss, kiss for seven minutes!

Wildcards who abide by the kissing ghost's rule will be released promptly after seven minutes of kissing. Those that do not will be trapped inside until one of the staff members comes around and unlocks the door.

Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!
ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.

The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.

Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.

Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.

LOST IN THE VALE ▷ The Vale is the only area in the resort that has simulated weather. Wildcards in the Vale may experience thunderstorms, windstorms, and light rain showers. Those who don't find their way out by night hours will find themselves plunged into darkness, with the bioluminescent mushrooms their only source of light.

▷ There are small caves and caverns throughout the Vale. There is overhead connected netting throughout the trees that may make travel easier for those agile enough to get up there. A river with fresh water runs throughout the entirety of the Vale.

▷ There are real birds living in the Vale. These birds find newcomers very interesting and like to swoop and peck if they see a good opportunity to bully. They are easily frightened off but quick to return if someone is particularly reactive.

▷ The Vale is very moist at ground level so mud and sinkholes are common. There are scattered stone and wood-plank pathways but for the most part the set-up is very natural.

Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.

Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.

There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.

SEXY? TRAPSCAGE: A lofted wooden cage. This trap is triggered when the prey crosses a hidden tripwire. The cage will fall from above and enclose the prey if they are not quick enough to evade. The cage is heavy and difficult to move. Escapable if the prey is strong enough or if someone lends assistance.

HANGING NET: Netting hidden on the ground by leaves or moss. Stepping into the net area will trigger the trap into pulling up and capturing its prey in lofted bundle. Escapable if the prey manages to cut through the net or if someone lends assistance and breaks the pully rope.

MUD PIT: A deep hole hidden on the ground by leaves, moss, or carefully placed bushes. Prey will fall into the hole once stepping into it. Depths may reach 6 - 7 feet so prey cannot climb out on their own. Escapable for those with good agility or if someone lends assistance.

ANKLE SNARE: A rope loop hidden beneath leaves, moss, or other craftily laid vegetation. This trap is triggered when the prey steps into the snare. Rope will tighten around the prey's ankle to keep them in place. This trap may remain on the ground or loft the prey so that they're hanging upside-down from a tree. Escapable for those who can cut the rope or if someone lends assistance.

After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.

They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.

“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”


These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.

IT'S AN ORGY Y'ALLFINDERS KEEPERS: None of the long-standing guests are paying attending to the clothes they've stripped off. Some of these clothing items may even have small items in the pockets, like a zippo lighter and cigarettes. Wildcards that dare to snatch clothes or items most likely won't be caught ... but if a guest does catch them, what are they gonna do other than give chase? If you're fast enough it's all yours.

FREE LUNCH IS NEVER FREE: All of the food and drink offered by the guests on the pagoda is spiked with aphrodisiac. Intensity varies from a very slight amount to a full dose, at player discretion. Regardless of potency, wildcards will find that effects do not last long.

MOVE OVER, BUB: The bathroom in the pagoda is small, comfortably fitting two at best. There is a shower with a limited amount of hot water available. The gauge will show as the amount of hot water declines. Once the hot water runs out wildcards can only use ice cold water to wash off the mud. It would be effective to shower together, wouldn't it?

WHO STARTED THIS PARTY: Pagoda guests will become wilder as the party goes on. Wildcards may end up voyeur to guests having sex out in the open. Some guests will try to match up with wildcards or try to match wildcards simply because they would look good together. Particularly frisky guests will playfully chase wildcards around. Good luck, newbie!

Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.

*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.

There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.

Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.

They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).

5 GOLD RINGS GAME ▷ The poinsettias are changing vases! Hey, they like to be fashionable too. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in their roots as they dart across the floor to the next pot.

▷ Poinsettias are quick and clever. They will dodge, hide, and use bystanders as shields to avoid being caught. Once they’re in their new vase they cannot be taken out. They’re very stubborn.

▷ Poinsettias that are startled may give off a spurt of strong aroma. Wildcards that inhale this scent may break out into a rash. The cure is to climax/orgasm, which will get rid of the rash immediately. It may last up to a week otherwise. An embarrassed poinsettia may offer this explanation, apologetic for doing the flower equivalent of farting in your face.

▷ Gold rings can be retrieved from their roots. Taking these rings is harmless to them but they will be a bit bummed since these rings granted them the ability to scurry around. Please be kind and deposit them into a vase so they are not left stranded on the resort floor!

▷ Each ring collected may have either a slight charm or slight curse. A ring will either grant a brief boost to physical ability (charm) or drain physical ability (curse). Rings are single time use and will become plain gold rings after a brief use period. Players are welcome to choose if the rings they collect are charmed or cursed.

Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.

These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.

"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"


Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.

Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.
RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.

Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.


"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"


Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.

RED CARDINAL’S HOMEMADE HOLIDAY MENU ▷ Shrimp and Leek Dumplings; Vegetable Dumplings
▷ Squid Kebabs with Oyster Sauce
▷ Spicy Crawfish Pot (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️)
▷ Rice Noodles served with Sour Beans, Peanuts, Bamboo Shoots, and Shallots
▷ Hand-Pulled Noodles, Thin Beef, Boiled Egg served in Fish Broth
▷ Steamed Crab
▷ Carp with Sichuan Pickles
▷ Kung Pao Chicken (🌶️)
▷ Spicy Beef in Hot Oil (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️)
▷ Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce (🌶️)
▷ Red Braised Pork
▷ Sweet and Sour Ribs
▷ Mapo Tofu (🌶️🌶️)
▷ Twice-Cooked Pork Slices
▷ Hot and Sour Glass Noodles (🌶️🌶️🌶️)
▷ Fried Eggs with Tomatoes

▷ Steamed Pea Flour Cake
▷ Osmanthus Cake
▷ Mung Bean Cake
▷ Egg-Yolk Puff
▷ Dragon's Beard Candy
▷ Steamed Creamy Custard Buns
▷ Rice Dumplings

Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.

Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.

RED CARDINAL’S HOMEMADE WINESWEET OSMANTHUS: A sweet wine with notes of apricot and plum. A healthy dollop of the butterflies one feels during first love has been blended in to evoke an even brighter taste on the palate. Drinking Sweet Osmanthus will inspire feelings of love and romance in the drinker.

JAMMY BERRY: A tart wine with notes of blackberry, raspberry, and bayberry. A clever tongue may also taste the unshed tears for those without mourners. Drinking Jammy Berry will compel the drinker to cry. Full on waterworks. You baby.

CHILLED NUT: A mild and nutty wine with notes of chestnut and mint. All that's added to this one is a sprinkle of those bad ideas that always come past 2am. Drinking Chilled Nut will prompt the drinker to confess a secret.

LOTUS TANG: A deep-bodied wine with notes of wood and oak. A cup and a half of blended confidence from "the strongest" men as been liberally whisked in. Drinking Lotus Tang will give the drinker a massive confidence boost and the sense self-importance to match.

All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!

Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.

Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.

Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.

DRESSING ROOMSANONYMOUS FUN: Many of the stalls have strange holes cut into the walls, making it easy to peer into the next room over. However, an astute wildcard may realize that these holes are too big to be peepholes. One may even come to that realization because of an unexpected visitor poking through the hole to say hello.

YOU’D LOOK BETTER IN THIS: The lights in the dressing rooms may flicker on and off during the night. After that blink of darkness, wildcards may find that the clothes they were going to try on have been swapped with something completely different.

FOREBODING: Wildcards may find that their reflection in the mirror is pale and tired. The lips of that reflection will move, a faint flick not noticeable to anyone else around, only to the one looking directly at their own face and knowing they aren't whispering. This reflection will try to warn its original... but will quickly freeze up, unable to get the message out before returning to normal.

At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.

All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.

Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.

TRY A NEW FACEHEARTS: Several of the red masks have been marked by Hearts. The wearer will be able to glean a vague sense of the emotions of those around them.

DIAMONDS: Several of the white masks have been marked by Diamonds. The wearer’s body will become especially sensitive to touch and temperature.

SPADES: Several of the black masks have been marked by Spades. The wearer will experience a heightened desire for intensity or violence.

CLUBS: Several of the purple masks have been marked by Clubs. The wearer will become compelled to act impulsively or recklessly.

Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.
LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?

Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.

Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.

Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.

SEX TOYS GET LONELY TOODILDOS: The dildos will chase after guests to try and fill whatever hole they can. These dildos are indiscriminate and will target any hole, so watch out for these pests trying to jam into one of your nostrils. Dildos will target the nearest character and will change targets if another one is within closer range.

SHIBARI ROPE: The shibari rope has uncoiled itself and is hiding in wait to capture two people together. When it spies an opportunity it will throw itself forward and try to knot two individuals together. It will target a single individual if no one else is close enough to catch with them.

FEATHER TICKLER: The feather ticklers are surprisingly aggressive, chasing after characters to tickle them to tears. Sometimes these ticklers work together to trap characters into a corner and tickle them. A very unlucky character may even run into a flock of ticklers!

LEASH AND COLLAR: The leash and collar set will play dead until someone is close enough. The collar will snap around the neck of the closest individual and the leash will drag them toward someone else to hold.

The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ How mask abilities manifest in the wearer is totally up to you. For example, the way a Heart mask wearer senses emotions can vary from character to character. There is no one right way to apply the prompt.
▶ Consequences for breaking the toys are totally up to player discretion. Have fun.
▶ Toys can be quelled in other ways. If your character has the ability, go for it.
▶ All subprompts are suggestions. Please feel free to get creative! Listen to your heart, when he’s calling for you.



CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.

All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?

There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.

The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.

The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.

COCKTAIL MENUGOLD GLAMOUR: Those that drink Gold Glamour will find that they are now able to change their voice. A popular choice among guests that really want to lean into becoming someone else for the night.

DIAMOND DUST: Those that drink Diamond Dust will find their walls slowly lowering. Suddenly, being vulnerable and open to connecting with people doesn't seem so bad. Something to help loosen up your favorite introvert.

RUBY TONGUE: Those that drink Ruby Tongue will not be able to tell a lie for the next hour or so. No matter how hard they try they will only speak honestly. Ruby Tongue won’t let you hide from yourself, even at a masquerade.

Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?

The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

VIRGIN AUCTION In a room draped in red velvets and spotted with plush couches, wildcards will find themselves either snatched up to a wooden stage or given a number. The distinction between the two is simple: staff will judge which characters are virgins and which are not. Virgins are included in the auction and all others are given the opportunity to bid on them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome … to the annual Virgin Auction!! Gaze upon these fresh nubile virgins in awe! So clean and so untouched. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to bask in the glow of their freshness!

▷ Virgins will be asked to give an introduction of themselves on stage. Afterward, they can walk the floor and interact with bidders as they please. Virgins are a rare novelty in the resort so NPC guests will fawn over them and offer them gifts like chocolates and flowers. Some may even read crappy love poetry to them.

▷ Bidders may submit their bids via Watch directly to their virgin of choice. If the virgin likes the bid and the guest submitting it they can accept immediately. If not, they can wait for another bid. After 30 minutes, if they have no other bids, they must accept their highest bid.

▷ Virgins need only spend 1 hour of their time on a “date” with the winner of their bid. They do not need to lose their virginity. Virgins will be paid a medium payout for participating in the auction and paid 20% commission from their winning bid.


LOCK & KEY Gold and red melt together in this cozy game room. Adorned with padlock and ribbon decor, wildcards will only have a moment to admire the space before being snatched away by staff. Some wildcards will simply be given a key and returned to the room. Others will find themselves buckled into a harness or belt of some kind—but this isn’t any belt. It's a chastity belt. A rather uncomfortable one at that.

One hour to find your match, all! Anyone that doesn’t find their match after time has passed will be locked in the pillory and spanked as punishment! Welcome to the Locked Chastity Game!!

▷ Locks are looking for their matching key! Guests must find their match in order to win the game.

▷ Locks and keys that do not manage to find their match by the end of 1 hour will lose the game and have chips deducted from their bank account. They will also be locked into a pillory and spanked.

▷ Chastity belts may be over clothes or under clothes. How intense of a belt a character is wearing is left to player discretion. Some are very raunchy and may require direct contact with intimate areas to access.

▷ Once the game begins the door is closed. Candles that let off a strong aphrodisiac will be lit to add some urgency to the matchmaking. How strongly a character is affected is left to player discretion.


DIRTY DICE In another large room with small scattered game tables tables, pairs and groups will be given a special set of dice to play with. Two bold guests take the lead and show everyone how to play the game. One guest tosses both dice: one lands on BITE and the other on BREAST. He grabs his game partner and peels down her collar to sink his teeth playfully into her breast. She then takes her turn, the dice commanding another intimate action.

Got it, newbies? This is an easy beginner game. Roll the dice and do what it says. You both take turns, and if neither wimps out and does what the dice say four times in a row, you win a prize. That’s Dirty Dice for you!

DIE A
1: Bite
2: Kiss
3: Caress
4: Grab
5: Lick
6: Sniff
DIE B
1: Lips
2: Breast
3: Mouth
4: Neck
5: Ass
6: Knee


▷ If both players manage to complete four rolls they both will receive a medium payout.

▷ If one player manages to complete four rolls they will receive a small payout alone.

▷ If neither player manages to complete four rolls they get nothing.

▷ We recommend players use RNG during this game for random fun!


MASTER & PET This particular room notably has several smaller breakout rooms, all decorated in sensual black silks. Every character that steps inside will be guided into drawing a card from a box. The card will either denote Master or Pet. Staff are quick to divide those who have selected master and pet cards and set them up for play.

Welcome, Masters. We have a variety toys and pets for you to choose from. Your wish is our command. Here, you can have whatever you want. You’re in control.

▷ Masters will be given a selection of toys to browse. Players are free to imagine anything in the piles of stock that masters get to choose from.

▷ Pets will be collared and given a metal tag denoting whether the pet is a cat or a dog. This distinction is made based on character personality.

▷ Masters may request a random matchup or examine the available pets and choose the one that catches their eye. Both will then be escorted to a private room to play.

▷ Pets that manage to satisfy their master will receive a medium payout after play.

[His face falls.]

... you really don't remember?

[It makes no sense.

But then again, Hiyori doesn't remember everything, either. He remembers SS, of course. But he can't recall how he got here, and if he tries to remember what he was doing before, his memories feel somewhat blurred at the edges. Could they both have suffered the same thing...?

Another moment of searching Rinne's face, and then his eyes drop down to Rinne's wrist.
]

Well, putting all that aside for a moment... If you're not here to break me out and rescue me, does that mean you're here to play the game?
riskybeenus: dnt | gift from <user name=tfy> (04)

[personal profile] riskybeenus 2023-12-24 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ha? Why does not doing one mean I gotta do the other?

[He sighs dramatically, turning away from the table and the chips. He should take them, but it doesn't look like he's gonna be getting out of this one. It's fine, he'll find a way to get more of those and play later.]

Why don'tcha join me instead? Lend me some chips and I'll double it! You'll see.

[Doesn't mean he won't try.]
tfy: (pic#16328465)

[personal profile] tfy 2023-12-24 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right, so that's not an answer.

Hiyori watches him sigh, still mulling the situation over. On the surface, Rinne-senpai should be a wonderful fit for this place: he has no shame, he's an (occasional) sloppy drunk, and he loves gambling! But if you look beyond the surface, there's got to be more to his so-called senpai than just that, right?

Though he was raised to be used and discarded by Ibara, Amagi Rinne is a serious idol. He hasn't given up, even when the public turned on him, and even after an unsuccessful solo career. Given that idols are supposed to remain pure, he must have some conflicted feelings about that "game," right? Not to mention he's left behind the other three members of his unit. Though of course, Hiyori's done the same...

Ugh. All this thinking in circles is only souring his mood further.
]

Nope, sorry, I'm not in the mood to be your piggy bank! Especially since I've got limited funds here—I don't have access to any of my money, can you believe that? It's a human rights violation! I so want to sue when I get out of here.

[Which is all empty words. There's no telling when he'll get out, and what he might have done by then. If he's done even half the things that they suggest, well... he won't be able to afford word ever getting out to the public. Even if he did nothing, being associated with a place such as this could spell death for his career. Truly foul and unpleasant weather.

But he'd rather not keep thinking about all that. Right now, he's with someone he recognizes for the first time since waking up. So for now...

He stays where he is, his arms folded, and a look expectation in his eyes.
]

So for now, why not keep doing what you're doing? Seeing you lose spectacularly should be excellent entertainment for me. And if you do have a winning streak, perhaps I'll change my mind and lend you some of those "chip" things after all. It all depends on what you do!
riskybeenus: dnt | gift from <user name=tfy> (05)

[personal profile] riskybeenus 2023-12-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ha? Why'd ya expect me to lose already before the game's started.

[Well, given Hiyori's already giving him a chance, he should gamble-- but that's no fun. Anyway, it didn't really matter either, because seeing Hiyori here means he's at least fulfiled one of his goals, which is to stand out enough to see if someone he recognizes will come around.

With that in mind, he keeps the chips. It isn't big winnings, but it's better than before.]


I don't feel like it now. Why don't you and me find a game we can play together instead? Don't think about your wallet now. I'll even treat ya.
tfy: (pic#16535789)

[personal profile] tfy 2023-12-26 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You already lost the clothes off your back. But if you don't like that assumption, you'll just have to keep your money and prove yourself!

[There he goes, delivering orders like he's in any position to do so. But in this strange new environment where the Tomoe name means nothing and he doesn't have any special status, perhaps he's found the one person he can still boss around.

Not that Rinne-senpai listens. He suggests something else, rather. Does he feel like playing a game together? Not if it's that game. But Rinne gave a wishy-washy response when he asked about that, so it's probably not. Understanding this much, Hiyori accepts the offer at face value.
]

Well, that's fine, I suppose. But I'm not too interested in anything that requires me to bet all my funds away, so there's probably nothing in this room... maybe they have other games elsewhere?

[Like, say, in one of the private rooms.]

We won't know unless we look, so let's go!

[Finally brightening up, he prepares to leave the casino, expecting his "senpai" to follow.]
riskybeenus: dnt | gift from <user name=albarose> (08)

[personal profile] riskybeenus 2023-12-29 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, wait up!

[He does follow, but only after he actually does finish pocketing what he has to. He longers for a while, the roulette tempting him, but it doesn't last long. He eventually strides towards him, long and wide to bridge the gap quickly, before he speaks up again. With the crowd in such a festive mood, it's easy to forget that one didn't actually choose to be here.

At least, not for these two.]


So--

[He sounds a bit more serious now, away from the listening crowd, looking pensive.]

Are you really alone? You didn't see anyone else that looked familiar to ya?
tfy: (pic#16542141)

[personal profile] tfy 2023-12-30 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[If Rinne-senpai doesn't want to be left behind, he'll just have to walk faster! Simple as that.

Like Hiyori, who strides quickly past all the other anonymous partygoers. Honestly, he's eager to get away from it all—normally he likes festivities, but it's too loud in here, too crowded, there's nothing to do besides drink and gamble, and some of other guests are so rude. Why, just a little while ago, he felt one of them pinch his side, but when he turned to see who it was, that person had already blended back in with the crowd!

But in this so-called luxury resort, there must be something fun to do. Something that'll distract him from how unpleasant the situation is. From how he got abducted at a critical moment in the SS Competition, leaving the others to fend for themself, and how they must be in a tizzy over his disappearance. From how he hasn't seen a single person he knows, other than Rinne-senpai...
]

Nope. Not a single one.

[Away from the crowd, at the outskirts of the room, he answers simply.]

Although the masks make it hard to recognize who's who, I suppose. Still, I've been keeping an eye out and I haven't seen anyone. This whole thing seems rather suited to Eichi-kun's tastes, but I don't think even he would have the gall to kidnap me. And I don't see how this would be another stage of SS, either, since the guests don't seem to know anything much about idols at all...

[He trails off with a frown and a sigh.]

The only possibility that comes to mind is that someone has it out for both our units. "We don't want them in the main competition, so we'll kidnap them!" or something like that. But I don't remember being kidnapped in the first place, and you seem to have lost a whole bunch of memories.

[Boy, what a predicament they're in. And with no fun games to distract them from it still. Though, as Hiyori observes their surroundings, something catches his eye: a door a bit further down, with some uniformed attendant standing guard outside. A couple of other guests approach him, and after some chatting, he holds the door ajar for them.

Hiyori looks back at Rinne.
]

What do you suppose that is? Are there more games in there, you think?
riskybeenus: dnt | gift from <user name=albarose> (10)

[personal profile] riskybeenus 2024-01-02 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I lost nothing. I remember playing mahjong last night at Cafe Cinnamon. Got lucky at the pachinko too.

[He does that everyday.]

Besides, it doesn't explain why I had to flash my dick while you get to sleep in a bed. Ya can't seriously think this is just kidnapping for sabotage.

[And from what he knows of Eichi, this kind of thing is beneath him. If anything, that kind of meticulous, sneaky person would find it irritating if anything occurred that could ruin his precious idols. Even Rinne would question it if he saw this in a tabloid. Still, he doesn't focus on that, thinking on it.]

Are you really just lookin' for games? Aren'tcha way too calm?
tfy: (pic#16431899)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-01-02 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't that what you do every day?

[Yep, he's siding with the metatext.

As Rinne continues, his gaze turns reproachful, nose wrinkling in obvious distaste before he bursts out,
]

Ugh, don't make me picture that! And I don't like your language, either. Just because there's some "52" thing going on doesn't mean you can talk to me however you want!

[Sorry, Senpai. Though if Hiyori's starting to sound overly frustrated, it's less because of Rinne and more because of all the stress he's under. Rinne just happens to be an easy outlet. He's Hiyori's only outlet, really. At least until he gives in and decides to play the game, using casual sex to fill the void that's opened up inside and stave off despair.

... can he really do that? Go back to sleeping with random girls, in a pale imitation of romance? Now, when his career has taken off to the point where behaving badly could have dire consequences? Now, when he finally knows what it feels like to truly love someone and be loved in return? He has to do it to get out, or at least that's what they say. And yet, if word of this ever got out...

Another sigh escapes. At this rate, he's doing nothing but sighing, and all the happiness will escape him.
]

If you weren't missing any memories, you'd know that "kidnapping for sabotage" isn't exactly unheard of. Those Trickstar kids got dumped in the middle of nowhere, too, after all. And everyone keeps getting threatened with all sorts of unbelievable punishments. Still, that whole stage of the competition is meant to be over, so I'm not sure what's going on now.

Which is exactly why I thought we should explore some. Perhaps we'll find a clue that will help us escape! It doesn't hurt to look, right? Besides, it's much better to explore together than separately. I know exactly how to talk to nobility, so you can make use of my negotiation skills. And as for me, I'll be using you as my shield if things get tough! ♪

[He's joking. ... Or is he? Who knows. But joking or not, he's starting to walk again!]
riskybeenus: <user name=rosebursts> (38)

[personal profile] riskybeenus 2024-01-05 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Trickstar did?

[He was planning to avoid any mention of his missing memories, but then Hiyori throws a curveball that made doubling down on making him uncomfortable and forget the topic moot. After all, that's news to him, and has him pausing in disbelief.

What was he missing?]


Hey, am I a meatbag to ya? If ya want me to work hard, ya gotta pay up. Tell me more about that competition.
tfy: (pic#16328465)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-01-05 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stops walking, throwing an impatient look over his shoulder. Must they really stand around discussing this?

But then, Rinne is missing a lot of memories. He supposes it's only natural to be curious. And at least Rinne's not asking for literal payment this time, so, there's that.
]

It's SS! Surely you must have heard of it, even if you can't recall being in it. SS is the competition for us idols—the ultimate contest to decide who the next big "super idols" will be.

As for Trickstar, I'm not too sure what happened to them, since we were off in Kyushu. That's how the qualifiers worked—everyone got sent to different parts of the country, where they were made to compete with the local idols. Not us, though, we had seed rights from last year, so we got to kick back and enjoy a leisurely hot springs trip! Or at least that's how it should have gone, but...

[But then Ibara decoded that message and ran off to Shikoku and Nagisa followed after him. But then some hidden temple was found, and after being held in the basement there for weeks, Nagisa-kun uncovered some grand revelation about his "Father." He's been acting strange ever since then—traveling all over the place and engaging in some secret business. But when Jun-kun asked what he was doing, he just said it was a "personal matter" and that there was nothing anyone could do to help.

... It's been getting him down. He normally tries to focus on the positive and trust the people he loves to handle their own affairs, but this has been worrying. And now there's really nothing he can do to help, since he and Nagisa-kun got separated.

Was it by design? If so, by whose design?

Instead of finishing the thought he shakes his head, clears his throat and continues.
]

Anyway, there are all sorts of strange rules this year, and the powers-that-be seem capable of anything. They've been making all sorts of threats, like "If you violate this rule, something bad will happen." Supposedly Trickstar ended up in the jungle because they forfeited their seed rights, and the Committee didn't like that. Not to mention that none of us were supposed to travel outside our assigned region...

[He waves a hand.]

The point is, they could easily find some excuse to punish us if they so chose. It's an outrage, but that's just how things are at the moment! That's why I'm worried about sabotage. You follow?
riskybeenus: <user name=rosebursts> (61)

[personal profile] riskybeenus 2024-01-06 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, okay, I'm following.

[Honestly? He knows that the idol industry isn't sunshine and butterflies. Rinne of all people knows just how much it is not, given the mess he caused during the MDM. So it doesn't surprise him that something is amiss, but it does bother him that he has no idea what's going on.

After all...]


The SS was just about the start in a few weeks for me. Yer telling me it's all done and we just dealt with it like chopped liver?

[Doesn't sound like something Rinne would have done, so he looks dubious.]
tfy: (pic#16395632)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-01-06 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't really know how you dealt with things, since I had my own unit to keep track of. But you did beat Knights in that "sudden death match" thingy, so you must have done something right.

And anyway, SS isn't over, just the qualifying round. We were just gearing up for the main competition when I got rudely snatched from my bed and woke up in this place! The timing seems too suspicious—or rather, it can't be a coincidence. Someone is out to sabotage us! And we mustn't let them get away with it, so I'll require your help in staging a rebellion. I'll do the talking, you'll be my meat shield! ♪

[Never mind that he has no idea who to talk to or how to get out.]

Ya think that's a rebellion? Yeesh, if we do that ya would just look like an angry customer complaining to management. That ain't gonna do nothing.

[Well, not that he expected much from Hiyori's plan in the first place. He's an elite, a rich kid, and also too nice for his own good. The opposite of Rinne, or at least, the Rinne that has molded the city's flavors on himself. Rinne thinks it's too naive, and well-- Hiyori's a nice kid, so he doesn't exactly want to have him dirty his hands.

He knows the past, but that didn't matter to the present Hiyori.]


Why don'tcha let me do the talking, and you help figure out what's with this place? Like the watches, for example.

Watches? —Ah, yes, those things!

[He holds up his arm, drawing back his sleeve to expose his own.]

Those just seem to show things like bank account information. But they also say some unfunny things! For example, mine said "Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock," even though I never chose to come here at all!

And not just that, but it tried to explain the rules to some "game." 52 or 42 or something like that. But if you look at the rules, they're not regular game rules at all! It's just a list of crude things you can do! But that wouldn't be very idol-like, now, would it?

Think we gotta accept that we're at a sex casino, Hiyori-chan. Ain't sure where this kinda place popped up, but it ain't lookin' like we're in Japan no more.

[How did that even happen? He's not sure. Sure, they could be in Japan, but he can't imagine a place this big and bustling and not have heard of it.]

Ya get kidnapped, but allowed to roam freely? What kinda captors would do that? And it's a corrupt man's den in here. Maybe we're in Las Vegas.
tfy: (pic#16405744)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-01-09 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
How am I meant to accept that?

[His eyes narrow, tone of voice exasperated. Perhaps someone here loves gambling, but he doesn't have that sort of hobby! And as for the "sex" part, well, if they're caught engaging in that, it'll reflect terribly on them.

Not that he's tempted in the first place. He got his fill of that when he was younger, really. It was fine, the girls were cute, but it stopped feeling fun after a while. He'll pass on going back to those days.

Assuming he even has a choice. Assuming they have any choice.
]

"Kidnapped but allowed to roam freely" describes what happened to some of the other units. But anyway, that's exactly the problem. There's a difference between playing a bad guy onstage and actually being one in your personal life. You know that just as well as I do, don't you?

[A loaded question. Rinne-senpai isn't exactly a role model or an exemplary idol, but Hiyori has lived with him long enough to know he wouldn't betray his fans. He puts that heaviness aside, however, and continues talking.]

In any case, I'm sure Nagisa-kun and the others would fly to the ends of the earth to rescue me. Jun-kun would surely walk through fire, travel the desert on foot, and sail the seven seas by rowboat if he had to. So help should be on the way, but in the meantime, let's try and gather as much information as we can, alright?

[So, not romantic, in other words. Unless you consider master x pet relationships to be romantic. But does Hiyori consider them romantic? The answer to that question is...

"No comment"!

In any case, talking about Jun's supposed loyalty has lifted his spirits. He's smiling now as he banters back at Rinne before starting to walk again.
]

Well, if my rescue vehicle arrives and there's just one seat reserved for me, I'm sure we can still fit you in the trunk. But first, let's go check out that room over there! I don't know about "important," but that man standing outside looks "official," anyway.

[They get there just as another wildcard is being whisked inside, the suited person only talking to them briefly. Still with the masquerade mask planted firmly over his face, Hiyori gives the staff member a cheerful wave. No need to air out his grievances right now—this man couldn't have been responsible for their kidnapping by the looks of him, so it'd just be a case of shooting the messenger.]

Excuse me! ♪ I have a few questions I'd like to ask. First, do you know where we can find the person in charge? They wouldn't happen to be behind that door, would they?

[He feels safe in assuming they're not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Or so he thinks, but the staff member is wily. "I'm afraid I don't have an answer. But you're just in time for our next auction, and there's no telling who you might find there. Why not have a look inside?"

He opens the door a crack. Hiyori, however, is dubious.
]

An auction? Sorry, but I think I'll have to pass—I don't seem to have many of those chip things left, and I haven't been able to get in contact with my real bank at all, which is another outrage I'd love to file a complaint about!

[Okay, so maybe he is willing to shoot the messenger. Or at least complain to them. But the staff member simply responds by telling them they don't need wealth to enter the auction and that the prizes on display are well worth seeing. That last bit is said while eyeing Rinne with particular interest, door opening further.

Hiyori continues to look dubious—now this feels extra suspicious! But someone's arms reach out to take him by the elbow, urging him inside.
]

Er, wait just a minute here... Rinne-senpai, save me!

[Now someone's reaching for him, too, though, so good luck with that.]

[You know, the whole "I'll talk to them" thing only works if Hiyori actually lets him talk to them, but he didn't even given Rinne an opening to take charge before he starts speaking to the staff, so Rinne doesn't stop him. Anyway, if it didn't work, they can do it his way.

At least, that was his plan. Apparently, the people they chose to approach didn't agree. When Hiyori is grabbed, Rinne had already noticed the presence of someone trying to grab him too. He doesn't like fighting, but he can't deny his instincts.

He grabs the guy's arm and pushes him aside instead, grabbing Hiyori after to pull him from his captors(?).]


Hey, don't touch him! That ain't good customer service!

Unfortunately, his attempt to talk things out with the doorman almost lead to (another) kidnapping. Fortunately, his senpai comes to his rescue just as asked! Hiyori lets himself be pulled against Rinne's chest, brows raising at the swift response. Goodness, those are some sharp reflexes.

To his credit, the doorman apologizes, saying things tend to get a bit grabby at these masquerades. No kidding there—Hiyori's been pinched and prodded multiple times this evening! But the doorman also doesn't give up, saying, "Won't you please consider attending? I'm not sure about your masked friend, but I'm sure they'd pay handsomely for you."

This eerie statement is addressed to Rinne, not Hiyori, but it's Hiyori who answers first.

Huuuh?

[He responds in a tone of utter bewilderment, looking half-offended, half-alarmed.]

First of all, why wouldn't I fetch a higher price? But more importantly, selling humans is wrong! My family would never participate in that. And besides, if this is a slave auction, Rinne-senpai's already agreed to be my servant here, so that's that! Come on, Rinne-senpai, let's get out of here!

[He starts to tug on Rinne's arm.]

Can it, Hiyori-chan. We're getting out of here.

[He has a feeling he knows exactly why they were eyeing him, and if Hiyori gets a wind of that, then he has a feeling it would lead to more questions. In any case, no need for him to know that Rinne's way out of his league in this place.

So he drags him away from the auction, before he looks around, trying to check any other hallway.]


Do ya remember the room ya had? I think we need t' regroup n' make a better plan.

[Technically, anyone with their profession should be way out of their league here. Idols are meant to set a good example, after all. They're not supposed to drink, gamble or womanize. Though with Rinne's rebellious image, this place might suit him more than it would most idols...

In any case: he doesn't make the connection and assumes that was some sort of slave auction. In which case, well... maybe Rinne would be more suitable? Putting a noble like him on the market would be heresy! He's not anyone's slave.

But he has no qualms about getting away from that shady situation, so he lets Rinne guide away from the room and down another hallway. Honestly, this place just gets worse and worse...

Though it was already pretty bad to start with, his lips twisting into a grimace when Rinne asks about the room.

Yep, we can go there, though it'll be rather cramped. It's nowhere near as spacious as the rooms in our dorm. And not just that, but they said they "accidentally overbooked" us!

[He shakes his head as he explains. The nerve! The outrage!]

I woke up with someone—I thought it was a pervert or perhaps the person who kidnapped me, so I screamed loudly, but he turned out to be just as confused as I was. I gave him some chips from my account thing and sent him on his way, since I can't bear to share a small space without even a bunk bed. Hopefully he won't be back... anyway, the room is this way.

[And he gestures down the hall. Hopefully Rinne's already absorbed that explanation, because he's walking!]

Kyaha~ At least ya still got a bed. The grass ain't so comfy when ya got nothing on, and dat's how I woke up.

[Besides, a room has privacy, and right now they need some of that. He normally likes the looks he gets out of admiration, but he's noticed that people were paying too much attention to him. It wasn't the same as the looks he got from the auction house, it was a little more familiar, but it didn't feel quite right either.

So hiding was their best option.]


Sounds like I might have more money than ya. Ain't that a surprise.
