May | Event: Flowers of Buffoonery

Flowers of Buffoonery↲ OOC Plotting

Minimize

The month of love is in full swing! But there are some who are probably wondering: why is May the month of love, and why only in the West? Over in Tokyo, no such celebrations are being made, and even the Hanyo of Shitaya aren't gunning up for any major festivals of any sort, despite most of them having come from the West. But it's not because it's a new holiday. Rather, it's simply a Yokai specific one.

Because traditionally, May is the period where a Yokai's sex drive is the strongest. And while for most, this simply manifests as a desire for deep, emotional connections, for others, it's a month-long orgyfest.

And as the mysterious little flowers continue to bloom across Kyoto, something else begins to bloom between the refugees themselves.

The Season of Sex

Towards the middle of the month, refugees are sure to notice a change in the way the Yokai are behaving, particularly the group known as the "beast Yokai", which includes Kitsune, Bakeneko, and Inu Yokai. As it turns out, these three are among some of the only Yokai who still occasionally undergo a heat-like event, with most of these falling around the month of May.

But what does this have to do with the refugees? As many of them will quickly find out: they also will experience a heat-like state through the rest of the month. Upon contacting the scientists, they explain that because the Yokai were the indigenous people of Nippon, bonding with Nippon seems to have caused the refugees to become part Yokai in a way that differs from the native Hanyo. This is why they're able to use magic, and why many of them grow Yokai body parts when experiencing high levels of Kizuna.

"Oh, don't worry your pretty little heads! Sure, you lot seem to be more afflicted than us Native Yokai, but no one's going to judge you for your... biological needs, teehee!"

As the Yokai researchers explain, heats have become less common in the modern era, so it's entirely possible that some refugees won't experience anything at all. Feel free to use this to opt out of anything that makes you uncomfortable!

You All Know What This Event Is About Maryouku University, Kyoto
When a Yokai goes into heat, they tend to adopt one of three characteristics, known collectively as KSJ. Although most Yokai will always lean more heavily towards one in particular, some may experience all three throughout their heat:

Daikoh (大攻) causes Yokai to develop unusually dominant and possessive tendencies. While some may search for a single partner to keep to themself, others may try to gather as many partners as possible. Even passive and friendly Yokai may become inclined towards violence or unusual roughness, including marking their partners. Some may experience an inexplicable desire for passionate romance, while others may feel a desire to breed.

Daishoku (大食) causes Yokai to give off a magic aura that may trigger a heat in those around them. These Yokai are insatiable, seeking endless pleasure from anything and everything they can find, be it food, entertainment, or sex. It's not uncommon for them to have one thing in particular they become fixated on, though others may simply desire everything. They may even find it hard to sleep without some kind of stimulation to calm them down.

Daijuu (大受) causes Yokai to develop unusually submissive and needy tendencies. They crave physical affection to such a powerful degree that going without it may even become painful. It's not uncommon for these Yokai to only feel comfortable when wrapped up in a nest of blankets to simulate being wrapped in the arms of a lover. They may feel a strong desire to be cared for by another, or even impregnated by a mate, regardless of gender.

Obviously any of these would be pretty inconvenient, but perhaps the worst part is they can strike at any time. One might simply wake up in heat, while another may find themselves suddenly overwhelmed upon seeing a familiar face. And the truly unfortunate may find it happening in public, or even on a long train ride.

While most heats tend to be very mild, often to the point where one might not even realize they're going through one, some Yokai have the misfortune of going through an extreme heat, where the effects of KSJ becomes far more pronounced, even to the point of appearing to have a complete personality shift. Daishoku Yokai may fuck until they pass out, Daikoh Yokai may peruse individuals they would never otherwise be interested in, and Daijuu Yokai have been known to crawl into the beds of strangers to satisfy their need to be held. Heats can be as brief as a few hours, or as long as a few weeks, with varying levels of severity throughout. While most only occur once a year, you're free to utilize heats as a Severe Kizuna Effect at any time!

Discount Dildo Emporium Gion, Kyoto
Just in time for the month of love, a new shop has opened up in downtown Kyoto. The elderly owner of Iyarashii Ryuu, an infamous dildo shop in Tokyo's Shinjuku, has partnered up with an equally amorous young Kitsune to open up a sister store in Gion. And if the large painting on the wall is anything to go by, their relationship probably goes beyond business partners... that's one feisty old lady.

Iyarashii Ryuu specializes in every shape, size, and function of dildo one can imagine, but unlike the Tokyo branch, the Gion branch of Iyarashii Ryuu specializes in enchanted dildos. These dildos are capable of moving on their own, growing in size, changing in shape, and even glowing in the dark! Because why not.

However, these are still a very new product, so they're depending on customer feedback to improve the spells! As such, anyone willing to test out a prototype enchanted dildo will both be allowed to keep the prototype, as well as select from any finished dildos in the shop free of charge.

Of course, some may not realize what they're getting into when they agree to test a prototype. One is designed to change size on command, but contains a bug that may cause it to grow larger than intended, and even develop a distinct knot. Another is designed to allow the one wearing it as a strap on to feel sensations as if it were real, but has a bug that instead causes both partners to feel both sensations, resulting in an extreme case of over-stimulation. Another is designed to move independently like a fucking machine, but seems to lack a means of turning it off. And another glows in the dark so brightly that it can be seen from the outside. Which isn't necessarily a bug, but it sure is something worth seeing.

And hey, for all you natural-dildo-havers, they're also testing a line of condoms designed to do the same things, with the added security of safe sex practices. Very sexy! Just watch out for that size-changing one, though. Some have reported feelings of insecurity upon watching their dangle return to its smaller size.

Fickle Flower Petals

In the midst of everything happening this month, refugees will begin to hear rumors of strange symptoms popping up around Kyoto. Flowers growing out of people's hair, sprouting from the ground with every step they take, or even tumbling out of their mouth. It's only then that the people realize what's happened: those little flowers from before weren't entirely harmless. They're sprouts from a Hanahaki, a very rare ayakashi that possesses flowers, named for the curse it inflicts on those who inhale their pollen.

Thankfully, Hanahaki is treatable, and can even be cured without the need of a specialist. But until the sprouts wilt, those living in Kyoto will simply have to bear with the symptoms.

Post Secret Kyoto, Western Kingdom
In its mild form, Hanahaki causes flowers to grow from a person's hair. These flowers range in size and species, and can grow over the course of mere minutes or many days. Those affected will be encouraged to allow the flowers to wilt naturally, as plucking them may cause permanent bald patches.

While this form can seemingly effect anyone, those hiding secret feelings of love or desire may instead develop a form that causes flowers to bloom on every surface around them. Although certainly the most charming, it's also the most conspicuous, with tiny gardens building up around them whenever they stay in one place for too long.

The true extent of the curse will become obvious to anyone riding the trains, as the entire inside of each car has become blanketed in thick green foliage and flowers. Some may discover that the flowers can even sprout on the other side of walls, potentially filling their neighbor's apartment with unwanted greenery. And let's not even get into the personality types that cause a nuruname to bloom. Best stay away from those folks!

So what's the solution? Well, seeing as not everyone is open to the idea of sharing their thoughts and feelings openly, a workaround has been discovered. All around Tokyo, refugees will find small wooden plaques known as ema hanging in populated places. Those affected by the Hanahaki are encouraged to write anonymous confessions on the ema and hang them up where they can be seen. After enough people have seen their confession, the effects of the Hanahaki will begin to go away.

Just make sure you're not seen hanging a confession up, or it'll defeat the purpose of it being anonymous!

To submit play-made secrets for characters to see in Kyoto, please see this post!

Tell No Lies Kyoto, Western Kingdom | cw: This prompt contains Hanahaki-adjacent body horror.
With most cases manifesting as mild, some may be wondering why the curse is referred to as Hanahaki, meaning to spit flowers. In truth, the name is derived from the severe form of the curse: in which flowers begin growing internally.

The most common location is the throat, causing those affected to cough or hiccup flower petals throughout the day. But for those who are especially unlucky, they may grow down into the lungs, causing severe pain, a bloody cough, and trouble breathing. Due to the likelihood of choking in one's sleep, this form is considered the most dangerous.

This form of the curse manifests in those prone to frequently keeping secrets or telling lies, be it intentionally or as a result of being a rather private person. Much like the mild form, it can be treated naturally through open communication. However, the workaround used for the mild form will not work here. Only by opening up about themselves or the secrets they've been keeping will the flowers begin to wilt.

For those who are still opposed to the idea, a healer can forcefully remove the flowers with a spell. However, this method carries a 25% chance of losing whatever memories are tied to those secrets, ranging from the secrets themselves, to all memories of the people they wish to keep in the dark. Surely such a risk isn't worth it, right?

Party Time

Although the Emperor of the West has grown busy these last couple of months, far be it for him to forget his beloved Refugees during the month of love! And so, on the 25th, all refugees will be extended an invitation to an exclusive party in the Uji district of Kyoto.

Those who assisted in clearing it out earlier will be shocked to see the transformation the building has taken in just a few days, as bright and colorful décor can be found on every corner, and the scent of incense hanging in the air.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it would be most rude to refuse an invitation from the Emperor himself, wouldn't it?

With a Bang! Uji, Kyoto
Taking place at one of his many private villas, refugees will be met with an extravagant affair, filled with Humans and Yokai alike. During the day, there's no shortage of musical entertainment and dancing, along with free food and drinks, and a large outdoor garden to relax in. But at night, the mood of the party shifts dramatically. After a full day of pheromones tickling their senses, and no shortage of uki to go around, it was time for the main event: an orgy to celebrate the season of love.

"Greetings and salutations, my dearest friends from another world! I am Katsuragi no Mikoto, emperor of the Western Kingdom, and on this day, I invite you all to enjoy the many pleasures our world has to offer! Please, those who are inclined, make merry! And rest assured, this is a safe place to indulge."

The main room of the villa itself is designed with an array of sliding doors that can become walls to quickly close off corners for an illusion of privacy, as well as private and secret rooms for those who desire it. In the upper floors, rooms filled with all sorts of enchanted toys and costumes can be found, in addition to a small outdoor bathing area. And in the basement, there's what can only be called a sex dungeon, filled with all sorts of restraints and gear for whatever one's heart desires.

Any guests who stick around for the orgy will be asked to select from a number of colorful kanzashi they'll pin into their hair to convey what they're looking for:

Pink: Platonic, non-sexual physical affection only.
Red: Bondage, restraints, and sadomasochism.
Yellow: Open to kink negotiation or discussion.
Orange: Toys, magic or supernatural powers during sex, transformations.
Green: Costumes and sexual role play.
Blue: Powerplay: light blue for submissive, dark blue for dominant.
Purple: Public use, anonymous sex, exhibitionism.
Gold: Open to anything and everything.
Silver: No physical contact, watching only.

Outside of the Purple and Gold ribbons, all kanzashi are imbued with a spell that will sound a loud alarm if they person wearing it is touched in a manner they didn't consent to, upon which the one who activated it may find themselves thrown into the cold waters of the pond in the garden out front. Refugees are free to take as few or as many kanzashi as they desire, or swap them out as the evening grows long.

Denouement Engagement Uji, Kyoto
The party lasts well into the next morning, with guests welcome to stay the night with whoever they happened to bond with the night before. A nearby bath house is open exclusively for party guests, which is for the best, given the nature of the festivities. There will be no walks of shame coming from the Emperor's villa!

But those who actually manage to stick around this long will have an opportunity to witness a rare event.

In the garden just outside the villa, Katsuragi can be found seated next to a young man who some will recognize as Karu, the emperor of the East. The former is once more clean and dressed in his finest regalia, while the Eastern emperor appears in more subdued colors, a parasol in hand in some attempt to hide himself. Perhaps most would be giving them some space, but those who sneak closer will be able to overhear their conversation. Katsuragi speaks of uniting the two kingdoms, and supporting Karu as the face of the Emperor, so he may focus on his "continuing recovery". For his part, Karu is almost completely silent, though it doesn't seem to impede on their conversation.

But one doesn't need to be eavesdropping to realize what's happening when Katsuragi gets down on one knee and gently takes Karu's hand into his own, prompting the latter to drop the parasol in shock.

What happens next, unfortunately, is just between the two of them. A snap of his fingers, and both Katsuragi and Karu vanish in the blink of an eye. Did he notice they was being watched? Or was he intentionally letting them see that much?

OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's May event! Please direct any questions to the Question Thread in the OOC Plotting post.

• As with all Kizuna effects, you are free to opt out of any of the KSJ effects as well, or simply utilize the ones you are interested in. A Daijuu yokai could simply desire being held, with no sexual or breeding-related connotations, for example. Likewise, as this is inspired A/B/O tropes, you are welcome to use Kizuna as an excuse to utilize any additional tropes not included in KSJ.

• Feel free to mix the effects of the prototype enchanted dildos to include multiple effects at once, or create your own magical effects! With magic, the only limit is your imagination!

• Although not necessary, Japanese does have it's own language of flowers if you would like the flowers your character sprouts/spits up to have greater symbolism. A wider list of plant symbolism can also be found here!

• Hanahaki can produce native plants to Nippon, but cannot produce plant-like Ayakashi. So they can grow Uki in their hair, but cannot cough out a Higanbana.

• In case you missed it, the post for submitting IC secrets is over here!

• Players are welcome to handwave their character sleeping with the Western Emperor himself at the orgy, but don't expect him to remember their name the next day. The Eastern Emperor will not be present until the next day.

Lennon doesn't mind the tight hold, doesn't mind that the grip is so hard that it borders on painful. He needs Daeshim. He needs this. Words play at the edges of his mind that are primal and instinctual and don't really make any sense and he tries not to give them too much attention. He just focuses on Daeshim's hands, on his cock inside of him and the way Daeshim takes him, the way he fucks him. He doesn't hold back any sound, letting every gasp and moan be heard clearly.

He grasps at the bedding beneath him as he's pressed further down against the mattress, his movement more limited like this under the other's weight and he didn't have the will to resist it at all. He takes him, each thrust, pliant for his mate.... mate? ... lover...

"Dae... please," Lennon moans, the other's thrusts moving his hips and the only stimulation he's getting to his cock. He's leaking and he's so close. "Please. I'm yours. I need to come." He needs just a little more.

Daeshim slides one hand along his body, but it's not Lennon's cock that he teases. He slides it under his chest to find his nipple instead, pinching the nub and the metal going through it. His other hand grips his tail, holding it like a rein as he slaps back into him.

"Come. Let me feel how tightly you can grip me." He buries deep and then just holds there, hips continuing to grind while he waits to see if Lennon's orgasm is intense enough to trigger his own.

Lennon whines when the other goes for his nipple instead of his cock. Honestly, it’s still very effective, though, the pull of metal on his flesh, the pinching. He moans, hips trying to rock against the bed. His cock is dripping and he knows he doesn’t need it to be touched directly for him to come, not when pleasure explodes through him at the combined sensation of Daeshim roughly grabbing his tail and slamming into his body.

It pushes him over the edge. He cries out loudly, his body spawning around the other’s cock, as if he’s trying to milk him, urging him to fill him up with his come. He drags his hands on the bed and his hips alternate between rubbing toward the bed and pushing back on Daeshim as if his body can’t decide what to chase, what to focus on.

Lennon whimpers, holding the blankets as he stays tight around Daeshim’s cock. It takes effort and focus, but Daeshim wanted it so he’ll focus on tightening his muscles as long as he asks.

He underestimated just how good Lennon feels around him, forgot in the midst of these heightened instincts. But the sight of Lennon does just as much for him, the way he's wild and bucking against him right before he comes, not caring about anything but getting what he wants and needs. The cry that's pulled from the Fae is almost startled, and his hips start to move again of their own accord.

He only gets to fuck him once, maybe twice more before he follows, pushing in deep as he shudders and spills into him. Daeshim does slide his hand down then, finding Lennon's cock sticky but not yet starting to soften.

He pants for breath, draped over him like a living article of clothing. Daeshim doesn't know how long they stay that way, but he finally withdraws with a happy sigh.

"Keep it inside you. As much as you can."

He gives his ass an affectionate little pat before crawling into bed, then reaching to help the human do the same.

Lennon whimpers as the other fills him, as his own orgasm is fading at the edges leaving thighs shaky, his cock sensitive. He bites down on his lip as fingers touch his cock them, hips shifting up as he bites back another whimper.

He relaxes slowly with the on top of him, inside of him. He closes his eyes as he sucks in deep breaths. He’d be fine if Daeshim never moves, if he just stays inside of him and fucks him again and again.

A groan escapes him when Daeshim finally does pull out and he tightens as if trying to keep him inside feeling incredibly empty when he’s gone.

“Dae…” Lennon moans and clenches, the words sending a new wave of arousal through him but he finds himself desperate to obey. He falls heavily on the bed with Daeshim’s help. “You could use a butt plug if you want to keep me full of your come.”

And… Lennon wouldn’t have to feel empty.

Daeshim blinks once, twice. And then his eyes light up with that curious look that can be dangerous.

"What's a 'butt plug'?"

His voice is nearly a whisper. It sounds magical.

Lennon licks his lips, squirming closer to Dae and pressing kisses to his jaw. He’s desperate for contact.

“A toy… kind of like a dildo but… it’s… smaller at the tip and flares out… then gets much smaller… and has a wider bottom so it stays inside you even if you move around.”

Lennon gestures the shape a couple times to Daeshim.

His eyes widen at the explanation. Yes, he can picture it. He also sees all the potential in them having such a toy.

"...I will go and get one."

He doesn't even think of the itch under his skin when he's away from Lennon too, the way it makes him anxious. Some things you simply must endure for your mate.

“…right now?”

Lennon whimpers a little at the idea of not being close to Daeshim and well the other had blocked his exit with vines and thorns and with the things Daeshim has said and done he doesn’t think he’ll let him go with him.

The whimpering does have an effect on him. And it should - Daeshim needs Lennon just as much, wants him for his own and is ready to protect and fight for him. Sometimes it feels strange, but other times it just feels right.

"I won't leave you."

He strokes his hand along Lennon to soothe him, determined to stay with him for as long as he needs. But he can't get the toy out of his head now. The Fae blinks with a sudden idea and-

Yeah, he sure is trying to shape the tip of one of his vines into a butt plug. What of it.

Lennon sighs in relief and relaxes at Daeshim’s touch. He presses closer to his mate, nuzzling his face into the curve of his neck and not necessarily paying attention.

“I want… you to fill me up so much it runs down my thighs the moment you leave me empty,” Lennon murmurs against his skin, licking at the mark on his neck that shows that Daeshim is his.

Lennon feels so weird, so needy, so eager to submit to anything and everything that Daeshim wants from him. And no he’s not particularly paying attention to what the others trying to do with his vine.

The picture that Lennon paints with his words is- well they would always be sexy, even outside of this. But they're especially appealing right now.

"Uh huh."

...And yet the Fae is definitely distracted, tilting his head more for the other's mouth. His vines are naturally a bit, ahem, phallic, but he's never tried to shape one like this before.

Lennon frowns when the other is distracted with his answer. He keeps nibbling and licking at the mark though, pressing kisses and sucks to it.

"You aren't paying attention to me..."

It is getting harder and harder to be distracted, especially when Lennon is doing things that send a shiver through him. Daeshim sighs, and he's still not sure that the shape is right, but there's only so much he can do.

"You're right. I'm sorry. Let me give it all back to you now." Dae smiles at him, one hand guiding him in for a kiss against his lips. His other hand reaches behind Lennon's back, gripping the vine before giving it a sharp twist. He gasps against the other's mouth, feeling a combination of pain, pressure, and discomfort. But then he shows him his work, twisted free from the vine.

"Does this look correct?"

Lennon's pouting as he's pulled into a kiss. His eyes closing for a moment to relish getting Daeshim's full attention again. He's not sure what the other's doing or has been doing but it's off... and the sudden gasp...

Lennon pulls back looking at him in confusion before eyes are drawn to the plug the other had made. He blinks a few times in surprise and it doesn't take a lot of thinking to realize what it is.

"Yeah..." he breathes, staring at it and there's something more appealing at the idea of Daeshim making the toy and not buying something, like it's Daeshim that will be in him.

"Good!"

Daeshim smiles along with the exclamation because it seems like Lennon likes it too. He pulls him into another kiss, finally able to give him all of his attention. He doesn't even pull back, just hums his words against his lips.

"It's one of a kind, just like you."

Lennon makes a quiet noise into the kiss, pressing into it. The words make him feel warm all over, loved, treasured. He nips at the other's lips.

"Maybe you should put some more of your come in me before we try it out?"

Daeshim giggles at the suggestion, which means he really really likes it. He breaks the kiss just long enough to look at Lennon, his eyes bright with mischief.

"It's a good thing you are as you are, or I would fill you with enough to have a changeling in you by tomorrow!"

Lennon is starting to really like it when Daeshim giggles. He makes a quiet noise as he meets the other's eyes and then his own widen at the comment.

"Are you saying you'd put a baby in me if I was a girl?"

Lennon's reaction makes him giggle some more. It's been awhile since Dae's been able to surprise him. They've adapted to one another's weirdness.

"Mm, is it a good thing that you're not?"

Daeshim still seems amused.

"Even so, it's fun to keep trying!"

Lennon just shakes his head a little and leans to press his lips to the others again. It put some weird thoughts in his head, thoughts that maybe are just the heat but...

"Would you want that?" he can't help himself as he asks, but he then laughs.

"You can try as much as you want."

He hums into the next kiss, and it could be a thoughtful hum. Or he could just really like the kiss. They're equally possible. But he finally pulls back to answer.

"I think you would have better luck at it than I would. It's a little easier for my body to change than yours."

Is Lennon tired of surprises yet?

Lennon blinks and for a moment he's distracted from the need for Daeshim to fill him up again, tilting his head.

"I...that..."

Somehow it doesn't surprise him that much that Daeshim can change his body...

"But... would you want..."

He licks his lips and he pushes away the thoughts that are now intruding persistently, that secret wish he has and had put aside because it was never going to be possible for him and he didn't deserve it anyway. He'd mess it up if he had it.

He swallows and pulls Daeshim closer, his hand slipping between their bodies to stroke Daeshim's cock, wrapping his legs around his waist, his hips angling just right if the other decided he wanted to slip in.

He's never thought about it before, and he barely has time to think about it now when Lennon is wrapping him up again and making an irresistible offering of himself. He'll ponder it more later, if he's ever asked again. But...he is the one who brought it up first, and that must mean something.

It's so easy to slip back into him, to marvel at how perfectly Lennon fits around him. Daeshim sinks to the hilt and just holds there to kiss him, making a soft and approving sound against his mouth. He wonders if Lennon would laugh to know how nervous he was when they first began their physical relationship. All the worries that he had then had faded more and more with every joining, until they were just gone completely.

Lennon knows that for him the topic is cracked open now but whether he'll have the bravery to bring it up later is up in the air. And it seems a foolish dream anyway...

He lets the thoughts of it and the hollow spot in him be pushed back in favor of paying attention to the way that Daeshim fills him just right. He moans as he tightens his thighs, pressing into the kiss. He holds him close, fingers curled lightly into his back.

Maybe he would laugh he knew Daeshim had been nervous, the other had never seemed all that nervous and he'd honestly never been disappointed with him. And really the sex got better and better but maybe that's because their intimacy kept growing too.
