PLOTTING 005: THE HOT SPRINGS EPISODE
| PLOTTING 005: THE HOT SPRINGS EPISODE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
I. INTO THE WOODS  The Augur and its denizens acknowledge that perhaps things have been more tense lately. They want you to relax and enjoy yourselves. And thus today you will find that a path lined with trees and rustic fencing has been created leading away from the city into the forest. But those who leave the path and venture into the woods could become lost easily in the trees that seem to change colors as if the seasons are occurring all at once. You can wander for some time and never find your way back to the road. Anyone who becomes lost at dawn or dusk may find yourselves feeling the sense you are being followed. By who or what will not be clear. It will always be something out of the corner of your eye, a shadow that is gone when you turn your head. But maybe at the right moment you may find its red glowing eyes looking right back at you. The Mothman.  The Mothman does not chase, does not try to harm. It merely stares and stares and then, in a blink, it is gone. Anyone who looks into the Mothman’s eyes will be overcome with a deep sense of dread and isolation. The world is suddenly darker, heavier, more lonely, things are out there you will never understand and that knowledge burdens you. You will feel compelled to seek out the comfort of another person(s) to ease these oppressive feelings. A need to not be left alone with whatever fate may befall you. These feelings can be relieved quickest with extended physical contact with another person, but will pass on their own after several hours. The first time such a meeting occurs. Repeated encounters with the Mothman can lead to long-term dread, loneliness, and paranoia that can only be alleviated with skin-to-skin contact with another person. You must embrace another to push away the darkness it forebodes. II. WELCOME TO THE SHAME A LONG HOUSE  Follow the path, stay to the road, and you will find yourselves at a resort at the edge of steaming hot springs. The sign creaking in the wind outside says WELCOME TO THE SHAME A LONG HOUSE. WHERE THERE IS NO SHAME IN A HOT SOAK. This two-story hot springs resort is large enough to fit several dozen people at a time, although few of the rooms are solo. You may have to find yourself a roomie (or two...or three). Two sides of the second story rooms even come equipped with balconies, although some of them are not as well maintained as other areas of the resort. Each room is furnished with simple clothes, robes, and even a few themed items such as toga and kimono. Everything is meant for ease of putting on (and taking off). There is a large dining hall where meals will be offered at set times every morning and evening, but lunch is a free for all buffet. The grounds are lush with acres spread out in forests, grasslands, and of course, the hot springs themselves. Paths trail through the woods and fields, with signs posted that clearly say TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED, BUT STAY ON IT. The robots if asked will also remind you of the importance of staying on the paths and warnings to not become lost in the woods. No one explains why this is, only the importance of not becoming lost in the woods. III. ALL SPRING ETERNAL  As expected, the main attraction of a hot spring resort is the hot springs. Follow the paths leading away from the resort to take you to different hot springs all across the estate. Some of the hot springs have stone walls giving an air of privacy, while others have more simple chain link borders and wooden fences. There is usually a small hut accompanying it where you will find towels, robes, and other simple supplies with benches to leave your clothes. There is also a long wooden box in each hut that opens to reveal several toys and other pervertibles. Just in case. But the hot springs themselves draw the eye for their steaming, misting atmospheres. Taking a dip in some of these pools may even lead to other surprises you did not expect:
IV. WHAT THE WATER MADE ME  Those are not the only hot springs. Some of the pools are further away, less noticeable from the resort itself. But as night falls, the paths seem all the clearer through the mists and clouds surrounding the sky. Follow the right road to the more secluded hot springs, where the areas are clean and well-maintained, but there might be something different about them. Something alluring that calls you to step into their waters. They have small huts that are more worn down than the others, but carry the same supplies inside and space to leave your possessions. Like the other hot springs, there is a cost to relaxing in these pools, but they are not as tame. No, extended time in these springs will find you overcome with an itch in your skin you can’t relieve, and then aches all over your bodies. It will feel as if you are being twisted inside, things being moved and shifted. Then the changes become more noticeable. Scales on your skin, fur you never had, claws covered in secretions meant to leave prey at your mercy. It doesn’t always stop there, oh no. After leaving the waters these transformations will continue until you find yourself warped completely into someone else. Something else.
The changes can be mostly human to completely monstrous and everything in between. No two creatures will look the same, or act the same, although like may recognize like. As long as it is on theme for the monster, it’s good to go. The changes will fade up to a week after you have left the resort, or you can complete Auspicious Acts to cure yourself immediately. The further along you are in your transformation, the more you may need to do to return to your normal self. Plotting post text here for your ease if you would like to use it: N A V I G A T I O N |

We haven't done a plotty/gen thread for a while but there's too much opportunity for some good old fashioned monster banging dubcon stuff. Do you have time for one of each this month for Even/Oran? (I also just realized the cerberus option could be pretty fun for CoC style hellhounds... but that just adds more options to the paralyzation of choice.)

why does this have to be so hard, lol
I think I could definitely try for one each of a porn and plot thread, I miss having a bit of gen with these nerds. We could do the flashback h/c that has been overhanging, if you want? start that now before the log hits and see how far we can get. :Ia

I would very much like an excuse to give you some of Oran's background, as I feel like Even's got some very good grounding in where Oran came from and what it'll mean to hear flashbacks from prior the digging-up.
And as for the porn thread: let me read your entry because I haven't... got there... yet... (sorry!) but I think I want to ping something that you don't yet have bites for. I would slay for giving an excuse for size difference for 1. cuddling and 2. 🍆💦 messiness (though maybe not in that order) y/n?

Even's definitely going to be a kind of shitty siren for a while, which is eminently scoopable if Oran is inclined! He'll be full of shenanigans. Oran can hug him into submission, like a squirmy cat.
Also if I don't see pics of Oran's fancy new horn set asap I shall be disappointed.
