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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?

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.
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!

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.
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.

[Wow, he actually agreed with him. Well, Rinne was lucky he didn't care about looking good most of the time. Although he promised he'd behave more after they gave Crazy:B another chance thanks to the help of his brother and his brother's friends, the creepy feeling he's gotten since arriving hasn't really faded. It's why he's amping up the bad boy image, if only because it wasn't like he managed to shake it off back home either.
So he follows after him without glancing back, already satisfied with that. As much as part of him wanted to entertain as an idol, that's not what's going on here. He doesn't even think they recognize them.]
Yer gonna get wrinkles if ya keep getting so angry. Ain't like bein' idols is that much diff'rent, ain't it? Ya get people demandin' ya act all pretty n' proper on camera, dance like a chimpanzee, and keep yer nose clean. Yer fans make or break ya.
no subject
Perhaps that's what yours are like, but my fans don't do anything like that. They're always happy with what I give them, and they never make unreasonable demands. For example, some of them enjoy my closeness with Jun-kun, but they'd never shout that at us.
[He casts his eyes around until he finds the staircase doors: the ones that'll take them down to the basement.]
They don't treat us like zoo exhibits or slaves who exist to do their bidding. All they ask is that we remain our dazzling selves—nothing less, and nothing more.
[Though it'll be hard—remaining their "dazzling selves" in a place like this.
He stops talking as they start to descend. The air grows noticeably chillier around them, another factor that makes Hiyori purse his lips. But at least they're in the right hall now, and all he has to do is locate the right numbered room, which he does after a minute. Finding their way back to his room without getting horribly lost: success!]
Here we are. Leave your shoes at the door, alright? I don't want you tracking anything strange inside.
[Who knows what sort of substances might coat the floor at this resort...
The room is as described: small, with no decor and no window, the twin bed taking up most of the space inside. Absolutely unacceptable conditions in Hiyori's view! Though there's something else there, too, now: a wicker basket full of items on the nightstand.]
Hm...? This wasn't here before.
[He steps up to the nightstand and peers inside curiously. There's some other stuff like rolled-up shirts (?), but naturally the first items he reaches for are the ones that look like skincare products. Might they have included some scented body lotions or complimentary shampoos and conditioners?
Nope. Or well, that is body oil, but not the kind he was looking for! When he reads the fine print, he blanches.]
Ugh! That's what this is?
no subject
Society ain't so nice t' the strugglin', and if ya think this is bad, yer gon' have t' reframe yer expectations, Hiyori-chan. This ain't even the tip o' it. I could kiss ya if I needed to. But who am I kidding? Ya ain't that clueless, after all.
[Hiyori probably knows all about the kind of people who can never shine, no matter how hard they tried, because of a system that was built to be unfair. After all, he's been to Yumenosaki and Reimei, and those weren't exactly the fairest of worlds either.
He at least follows directions, taking off his shoes and setting them aside properly, just as Hiyori goes in to inspect his new gifts. He can't see it from the doorway, so he makes his way over, speaking up halfway down the short journey.]
What did ya find?
no subject
Honestly, why'd it have to be Rinne-senpai...? He's glad to have found someone he knows, but when it comes to being stranded with someone in a tense situation, Rinne-senpai would hardly be his first pick. Still, perhaps it's better for it to be Rinne than someone less jaded and crude. He'd hate to think about someone pure like Nagisa-kun, or someone sheltered and innocent like Tori, ending up in a place like this.]
That's your problem. You're talking about "plenty of idols" when that's not at all relevant to me. I'd never stoop so low! And I'm worried that a kiss from Rinne-senpai might taste like cheap alcohol, so I'll pass on that too, thanks! ♪
[He forcibly injects some cheer into his voice on their trip through the drafty basement. However, once they reach his room, that cheer is quick to dissipate. Nothing like picking up a tube with a pink cupcake on it and finding out it's lube rather than body wash.
He doesn't answer Rinne at first, choosing to pick through the other items instead. Those aren't any better, naturally. The candle says something disturbing on it, the cookies are scary-looking, and then the fourth item's just condoms!
He shakes his head in disgusted disbelief. Looks like that frown's not going away anytime soon!]
All kinds of horrible stuff.
[The kind of things that would never pass Keito's room checks. The only things he hasn't checked out yet are the rolled-up clothes, but given the rest of the "gift basket..."
He tosses one at Rinne.]
Here, catch! ♪
no subject
[Despite being the one who ranted about the unfairness of the industry with all the bitterness in the world, he's quick to bounce back as though he didn't do just that.
It wasn't like being given another chance erased the issues, and Rinne had plenty of opinions about them.
When Hiyori throws the shirt at him, he spreads it open and looks at the text, pausing for a moment.
Then he bursts out laughing.]
I'm flattered ya think so highly of my dick, Hiyori-chan~ Yer so naughty ♪
no subject
[He shuts his mouth when he sees the text, an indignant flush creeping into his cheeks.
He's mad. Angry and embarrassed and frustrated over his own lack of power. Of course his anger lies with his kidnappers, not Rinne. But there's no sight of them around, so it's easiest just to take out his frustration on the nearest person. Back at home, that person would've been Jun, who complained bitterly during Conquest about Hiyori treating him like a "stress relief outlet." But right now the nearest available outlet is Rinne, and if the only way to blow off some steam is to throw stuff at his poor "senpai," then so be it.]
You need your head examined if you think that's what I'm saying.
[He reaches back into the gift basket and tosses the remaining shirts: one, two, three in quick succession. If Rinne doesn't catch them, they'll hit the floor!]
I'm saying I wouldn't be caught dead wearing these, but they seem perfect for someone low-class like you. So instead of burning them, I'll give them to Rinne-senpai! Say thanks for your new wardrobe ♪
no subject
Well, a shirt's a shirt. Even if they're really bad ones. He needed the clothes anyway.]
Yer really wound up, huh? I ain't kiddin' when I said yer gonna get wrinkles if ya keep bein' so tense.
[He folds the shirts over his arm, then crosses his arms.]
Why don't ya try breathin' slowly and calmin' yerself first. Ya won't be able t' think straight if ya keep goin' like that.
no subject
[He's in a poor mood, but he's calm! ... Outwardly. Mostly. On the inside, he's fuming. But there's no intention of throwing either the candle or the lube, as those would just create a mess.
With a casual smile, he gestures around the room. It's convincing enough, though it may lack his usual sunshine.]
Anyway, this is it. There's no bath—you'll have to use the one down the hall. Though there are girls in there, so try not to scare any of them. And then there's a linen closet, if you want a robe or such.
[There's one of those hanging on the back of Hiyori's door, plus an extra pillow sitting on the bed and plush slippers on the floor. He's lucky he didn't get trapped in that linen closet while he grabbed all that stuff. Lucky, too, that he was able to convince his roommate to leave, and didn't get dropped outdoors without any clothes on his back like Rinne did. He's had an easy ride so far.
But he's already down half his chips and all four clothing vouchers, so that's not likely to last.]
no subject
He won't provoke Hiyori this time, seeing as he's trying. So he'll show a little more seriousness now, even if he's always been seriously thinking.]
We need a game plan. Just being in a room's enough, so let's talk about what we gotta do. It ain't like you or me plan on gettin' laid like this, right?
no subject
What does that mean?
[Rather than answer, he dodges the question, speaking in a cool, dispassionate tone. "Like this?" What does Rinne mean, "like this?"]
I'm the type who attracts attention anywhere I go. I'd have no trouble finding girls to bring here. And not just girls, I suppose...
[They don't seem to discriminate by gender in this place. Which isn't shocking; even in the outside world, he's met a few starstruck male fans as well as female. Just look at Aira-kun.
But it was girls who flocked to him at Yumenosaki, and girls he took on dates with Eichi's money. His own money, too, sometimes—it's not like he didn't have plenty. That won't be an option here, since he hasn't been able to access his bank accounts, and his name doesn't seem to hold any sway here, either. But he can get by on his looks; his looks, his charms, and cheap pick-up lines.
That's basically how he used to live. So why does the thought churn his stomach nowadays?
His smile tinges with bitterness as he concludes,]
But that sort of "game plan" sounds tiresome, so I'd much rather make an escape plan.
no subject
[He isn't too surprised. He knew a lot more than people would think about the other idols, at least prior to being part of Crazy:B. He was even a fan of a few he had decided to target before, or precisely, it's because he was a fan that he knew who to target. Not his proudest moment, but it all worked out.]
Actually, don't matter. I ain't playin' a game this boring fer kicks.
There's prob'ly a garage here. In a place this big, ain't there a bigger chance we can 'borrow' a car and get out?
no subject
[Sorry, Rinne. He won't confirm it, even though he already more or less implied he does have experience (that or he talks a big game, which... wouldn't be too out of question for someone with his ego). There's always the chance that Rinne and the other bees will go on another rampage and attack his unit, perhaps as revenge for something Ibara's done, and Hiyori would rather not give him any ammo.
But then, the fact he's here at all is more than enough blackmail for anyone who comes along and wants to destroy him, which is probably exactly why he ended up here. And quite possibly why Rinne ended up here, too! Awful, awful weather.
If they are in the same boat, though, then it means he doesn't need to worry about Rinne. The kidnappers are their enemy and Rinne is his ally. Rather than fight each other, they should band together to escape! And Rinne's idea of an escape fan is... car theft?
He blinks.]
You know how to drive?
no subject
[He's not trying to fight him anyway, and Rinne knows when he's overstepping. The goal wasn't to piss Hiyori off, so there was no reason to be so crude this time.]
I'm just full o' surprises, ain't I? I don't have it here, but I got a license too. We just need a ride.
no subject
You said you arrived outside without any clothes on, right? You didn't happen to see any vehicles, did you? Or anything that looked like it might have been a garage?
[Rinne probably would've mentioned if he had, but it doesn't hurt to check!]
no subject
[The sky seemed artifically generated too, like an LCD display rather than real sky, so he isn't too sure if he can really count it as outdoors in the strictest sense.]
That's on the top floor. If this is like other places, the garage prob'ly is on the lower levels.
no subject
For now, though, he's in a noticeably better mood than he was before. Is their escape going to be easy? Probably not, no; he's not naive enough to think otherwise. But at least they have something to aim for now, and the fact that there is an outside means there's hope. He actually smiles as he responds,]
Then that settles it. We just need to find a way to get to the lower levels.
[Though there's really no "just" about it.]
I'd suggest we leave now, since I'd rather not spend the night in this cramped room, but I'm wondering if it might be safer to try in the middle of the night, since there'd be less chance of bumping into staff. Although, it might look even more suspicious if we got caught... I don't know, what do you think? You're the one with experience skirting the law. How do you avoid getting caught?
no subject
[Ibara told them to cause trouble, but all Crazy:B did was poke at the hole in the rules, not actually break them. They were doing them a favor! Sure, he broke ES property once or twice, but that was necessary.]
We're better off gettin' it down sooner than later. The air's practically oozin' poison, y'know.
no subject
Hmm? So that lawless image is just an act?
[You'd think this wouldn't be a shock to him, given that Nagisa has an onstage persona that's quite different from his actual self. And maybe it's not a surprise, maybe he's just jerking dear "senpai"'s chain. Either way, the topic is shrugged off. Any revelations about their images not quite lining up with the person they are is going to have to be put on hold, since they've got bigger things to deal with right now.
Bigger things, like plotting their escape via getaway car.
Honestly, he'd much rather get some sleep than go wandering around some basement. But there's no real chance of that happening, so they might as well go now. Hopefully none of the guests will notice or care what they're doing, since they all seem like silly drunks. That, or they'll assume they're going off for a nice bang, and either leave them to it or start cheering them on...
Ugh, now this place is even getting to him!]
You'd better not mean that literally.
[But he sure can feel the figurative poison. It's already taken root in his mind: there's no other explanation for why he'd even briefly consider participating in that "game," instead of busting his way out to reach Nagisa-kun and the others. Which is why he agrees.]
Well, let's hurry up and get going, then. I'll keep this on— [He gestures to his mask]—so it'll look like we wandered away from the party. And if anyone asks, we pretend to be a happy couple in search of some privacy! Understood?
no subject
[He teases rather than answers directly. It wasn't all untrue, but it was mostly still better that Hiyori doesn't start getting too comfortable with him. Rinne might still have something up his sleeve.
(Not that he would, but he likes keeping people on their toes.)]
I'unno why yer trying so hard t' blend in if we're runnin' off, but sure. I don't wanna breathe any more of this stink either.
[They're on the lower floors, it looks like. Maybe the garage is closer than he thinks.]
no subject
Nope, wouldn't go that far at all!
[Sorry, Senpai.
But he's not interested in pissing off his getaway driver, so he softens the blow with his next words.]
But if you do get us out of here, that'll be worth a reward or two. I might even have a statue built in your honor.
[That's if they get out. For now he steps back into his shoes, reaching for the doorknob and heading out into the hall.]
Anyway, don't hold your nose, that'll give off the wrong idea and make them think I smell bad. Happy couple, got it? ♪
no subject
[Hold his nose though? Nah, he won't. But he reserves the right to complain.]
This date is so demandin'. All right, I'm coming.
[They won't be able to escape, but hey, they'll at least try.]
