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:

Soul-Switching - Two souls who doze off in this comfortable hot spring will find themselves floating above it - then shooting back down into the wrong body!
Infatuation Station - A light dusting of flower petals float across the surface of this next hot spring. If you lock eyes with anyone during your soak, you'll become absolutely infatuated with them.
Hy-pool-thermia - The water goes from hot to icy-cold quickly, but you can't bring yourself to leave until you know there's a warm body to attach yourself to.
Sensitivity Training - Everything the water touches is suddenly more sensitive. Too sensitive to not do something about.
Clean Water, Dirty Mind - There doesn't seem to be anything unique about this particular hot spring. However, you may find yourself thinking sexual thoughts about the people there with you. Thoughts become stronger and harder to ignore the longer you stay in the pool, unless you choose to act on one (or more of them).

All effects wear off in three hours, or sooner with the completion of an Auspicious Act.

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.


MERMAID	DRAGON	MINOTAUR	SIREN
Sleak, scales, and fishy tales. That’s what mermaids are made of. You will find your body covered in scales, gills on your neck, webbing between your hands and feet, or your legs replaced altogether with a tail. You’ll be overcome by the need to hide away from others who aren’t like you, seeking safety until loneliness urges you to drag others into the waters with you.	“Mine, mine, mine.” That’s what will burrow into your mind. As your body is covered in scales, gains a tail and wings as you twist and warp into your new reptile form. The urge to horde will be strong. Horde what? It could be anything. But you want it all and you’ll do anything to make it yours and keep it that way. And you will do with it as you see fit.	A desire to find, a desire to claim. The minotaur stalks its prey and you will have the same need. The trees beyond this hot spring are a twisting maze one could easily get lost in and as you transform into an immense beast of the hunt, you may stalk these woods until you catch your prize. What you do when you have them is up to you.	A call pulls you in at this hot spring. Something natural, yet inhuman that soothes you until the changes begin. Then you will feel a strong desire for mischief. A need to trick and twist others to your whim. Your voice will lure them to you into the waters and you can lift them with your wings and dash them upon the stones below. Or do something else entirely with them.

NAGA	KRAKEN	CERBERUS	GORGON
The scales may be the first sign, but your legs falling off or growing into a long, slithering tail would definitely be another. The Naga is the serpent guardian, a need to protect is strong but warped by pride and obsession. You hold others tightly in your “protection.” Only you are strong enough to do what is right for them and you will make them recognize this...or else...	The largest of these hot springs turns out to be deep at its center. Very deep. So deep you could dive into it for hours and perhaps never reach the bottom. Deep enough to manage the size of the tentacled beast you may become. You may gain a deep sense of apathetic curiosity. The waters are vast and the smaller beings you encounter may become nothing more than playthings you seek to learn more about. To move and use as you see fit.	Ferocious, loyal, the important traits of a guard dog. But what are you guarding? Anything your Master wants. Large, furred, two heads or three, as Cerberus, you will do whatever it takes to keep out those judged Unworthy, even if it means forcing them into submission. Those you see as Worthy will find themselves the most obedient servant ready to do anything they ask.	Bitter, angry, vain, and vengeful, all these dark, twisted feelings will erupt inside of you after taking a dip in these shimmering emerald waters. You may know you are better than those around you, yet feel compelled to seek their attention and validation. If you don’t get it, well, maybe you’ll make them give it to you by staring them down until they do anything you want them to. They should be careful, as those snakes growing as your hair do bite.

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Name: mochi
Contact: mochi#1888 on disco and

mochihearts on plurk

Character: allura
Canon: space lion hell
A5 Card: A5 CARD
Permissions: PERMISSIONS
Monster Sex: yes, preferably with humanoid mons! unless she is also a monster in which case very yes
Plotting: I love everything this month.
- allura might go cryptid hunting on her own, but she'd definitely go to keep someone else safe + cuddles after
- all the hotsprings are hilarious. I'm up for any of them.
- might turn allura into some kind of monster! leaning towards dragon lady, mermaid, or siren
and whatever else gen you might want. I still have a lot of squares to check off, too.

Character: ann takamaki
Canon: persona 5 royal
A5 Card: A5 CARD
Permissions: PERMISSIONS
Monster Sex: mmmaybe. would need to be humanoid. yes if ann is transformed too.
Plotting:
- ann isn't that interested in cryptid hunting. she's fought mothman already. always down for cuddles, though!
- hotsprings yes, though maybe not the body swap option here.
- definitely considering mermaid/siren for ann, since that seems thematically appropriate for her
ann is 17 and has been a victim of sexual harassment and coercion in the past, so that's something to keep in mind when plotting. I'm always open to gen stuff and really do want to start getting squares checked off for her.

as always, I'm happy to discuss potential plots! hit me up, let's make this happen

ok i want azula & allura either sexy or gen because she just had sex in a lion and wants to tell her about it
no but really keith is her favorite and she has to out-princess allura...,,

but too like allura and catra would be splendid together, she's not hotspringing but we could do monster stuff???? also gen or sexy because i'm entirely shameless

ann is hot so azula wants her (maybe doesnt know it yet) :[]

why is this the vibe I get with azula and allura lol

I'd love to do stuff with catra. okay but ann is probably exactly her type too, lol. tall, blonde, blue eyes, kinda sassy. I know adora is here but still.

and yes we can have ann and azula cross paths. hilarity ensues

ok so basically we're just really going full force on the venn diagram i'd love cr with everyone and all ok
i laughed real hard with this gif because that's a great way to describe... it... tbh allura is way cooler though, azula is developing a serious complex about how not cool she is

and adora is no longer here so ann can be that void filler for a while... winkywonky... wink
what i'm saying is don't get sick of me because i'm thirsty for your ladies

your thirst is very understandable, they are hot ladies okay

I think it'll be interesting to see how stuff between azula and allura plays out, for sure. they're both very strong-willed princesses but allura was raised by like, loving and supportive people so. very different situations.

and that's too bad about adora D: but I could see ann taking catra under her wing without knowing she's her Type lol

wow whats it like to have a loving supportive family????? ? ? ?

are you going to toplevel or anything? i'll probably do a catch-all soon because i'm lazy and it's easy and so i can write starters or you can jump into an open prompts i come up with.,,,

I'm working on a catch-all atm!

hi do hot springs stuff with me

ALTERNATIVELY we could also use this as an opportunity to check off the clothing square, maybe allura needs help getting out of her wild outfits and either into the hot springs/a kimono?? not that i know why eustace would be there to help her but. whatever, i'm winging it.

I love the idea of eustace helping allura out of her clothes. they could take a dip after that and shenanigans follow. clean/dirty could work really well for them imo

oooh that sounds perfect, let's do it!!! i love any opportunity to objectify hot women in my tags

do you know if you'll be top leveling at all?

I'm actually going to be doing a catch-all! so I'll write a starter for us and link you when that's ready

god it's really hard to decide which of my girls I wanna throw at which of yours because both weiss and kaine would be pretty taken with them both, but---!

Kaine and Ann both have temperature play, and there is that pool of icyhot...

Or Weiss could get absolutely murdered by the dirty thoughts one (towards either of them), since she's brand new and completely lacking in experience.

Or there's monster options? I was gonna have Kaine turn into a minotaur (which would probably end up really triggering for Ann, given the description up there, so probably not those two), and Weiss into a really terrible siren whomst lures pretty girls into the woods with her singing. Or they could run into your monsterized girls?!

any of those sound good?

well I'm having allura turn into both a dragon and a mermaid because I like options. ann, possibly a siren!

dragon allura scooping up weiss could be pretty fun, since dragons hoarding people seems to be a common thread here.

God, the dragon abduction will give her some serious (mild, amusing) trauma flashbacks; in the first season of RWBY, she and her partner get carried off by a big-ass bird, so this is just... history repeating itself. Which I absolutely love, so let's do it!

Hello! I'm Janzoo and I play Eskel from The Witcher 3. :) (Here's his info post!) Quick version is he's the work hard (very analytical and procedural), play hard (did crack with a succubus) type.

So I haven't seen the last season of Voltron, but I love Allura and I also see that you might monster-ify her. Eskel here is a monster hunter with mutations to enhance his abilities, but he's not above fucking the occasional sentient monster, either. Would you be interested in maybe dragon!Allura and Eskel?

Edited 2020-10-05 03:04 (UTC)

oh yes I've vicariously played the witcher 3 and all the dlcs so I'm familiar with eskel!

far as the last season of voltron, you are definitely better off never seeing it tbh. don't curse yourself, be free.

draggolura and eskel could be a thing, but she's gonna be pretty big! not as big as one of the lions, but big compared to a human

Oh awesome! :D I'm preaching to the choir about Eskel's horny lady kink, whoops lol.

That is what I hear. :/ Sad as hell to hear but methinks I'll take the advice. Also I accidentally spoiled myself on uh Allura's...status on the Voltron wiki when looking for her age. Upsetting.

Wait is she going Full Dragon or just mostly human with draconic traits?

her age is Ambiguous lol but I listed it as 20 for the sake of the game.

she's gonna be going full dragon. I did include a dragon-lady prompt but since the time window for the transformation is three hours I figure that's just a stage of her changing

Figured as much lol

Ah...damn. I'm afraid that's not quite my cup of tea. ^^; If catching her half-transformed isn't an option, I'd still love to have them interact somehow. Gen or smut. They could go cryptid hunting together, or as long as it's fully consenting maybe an encounter with monster!Eskel. Probably minotaur, and still mostly humanoid...just bigger and hornier hurr hurr ;)

psst mochi

should they bang

edit: ALSO Ann can learn that Rise has a Persona if there's anything with Mothman? She's probably gonna try to scan for it.

Edited 2020-10-05 05:08 (UTC)

I mean they should yeah

and they should also definitely talk about their personas

Okay!! I can hit up your post. Between the options, do you have a preference? Either mothman hunting (for Personas) or infatuation/clean water in the hot springs?

i want to do squares with either of your girls, mochi 🙇‍♂️ i'm feeling monster stuff in particular could be fun, but hot spring effects could help facilitate things!

on the gen side, maybe cryptid hunting with allura, since lelouch is currently a man on a mission to snap a good pic of the mothman.

I'm super down to cross of some squares. ann is going to go siren and/or mermaid, allura is going dragon and mermaid.

I'm sure allura could be convinced to go cryptid hunting. would lelouch want a cuddle after the fact?

drowning with mermaid ann would be lovely, but you know this. i'm also up for cryptid hunting stuff with allura! i noticed you just put up a post, so just let me know which of the two you're more interested in and i can definitely hop in there.
