JULY 2024 TDM: LECTISTERNIUM


Welcome to SALTBURNT, a panfandom smut/thriller game based off the film Saltburn, where characters are encouraged to indulge their deepest desires. The money never runs out and the liquor never stops pouring, so you may as well indulge from the bounty. Of course, things are rarely what they seem, and the manor itself seems to have a consciousness of its own. Throw parties, trash the house, engage in youthful merriment, but remember β€” dangers come out at night, and no one, no matter how rich you are, is safe from demons lurking in the shadows.

Threads can be considered game canon, provided the players agree. Players can also start fresh upon acceptance into the game. In game characters can post to the TDM directly, so all posters can use the title Β« CHARACTER NAME | CANON | NEW CHARACTER/IN GAMEΒ» in the header. There will be a spot below for new characters to link their toplevels for easy access. Alternatively, prompts on the Test Drive can be used for in game logs.







WELCOME TO SALTBURNT


It's the hangover more than the light streaming in through half drawn curtains that wakes you up, your brain rattling in your skull, your mouth dry and cottony, your stomach churning with whatever it is you drank last night. If self preservation is your strong suit, you might turn over in bed and see a few painkillers laid out for you on a silver dish, accompanied by a glass of water. If it isn’t, stay in bed and wallow β€” eventually a maid will be in to tear your curtains open, saying, "Breakfast is served," and scurrying out quietly, invisibly. Breakfast? Maybe it’s normal for you. Maybe it isn’t.

You're drawn from the room, either by the mystery, or an undefinable urge that could be supernatural in origin, or could be your hunger catching up to you. It's almost nostalgic, the walk to the dining room β€” have you been here before? Were you drawn up to this estate in a car? Haven’t you done all this already? Maybe you mosey around a library, maybe you run into your suite mate in your adjoining bathroom. Regardless, seemingly all hallways, covered in priceless artworks and ancient relics from times long past, lead to the dining room, where a comically long table houses the Balfours and their many guests, who seem just as disgruntled and confused as you. No matter. "The breakfast is self-serve," they say. But not the eggs.

If you want to leave, you’ll have to tell Giles, the housekeeper, who will arrange a car for you that mysteriously, or perhaps suspiciously, never arrives. Unfortunately, confronting Giles about it is near impossible, as he’s as good at being invisible as the rest of the house staff. Of course, there’s no reason why you can’t just walk out. The front gates are easy enough to jump over, even if the walk towards them gives you a strange sense of foreboding, or just outright discomfort, as if the ground itself doesn’t want you to leave. Those more sensitive or fragile might find they can’t make the jump, no matter how physically able, or desperately wanting. Still, a strong person could continue on, over the fence and into the lush English countryside. The feeling doesn’t dissipate, though β€” this sense of wrongness, almost sickness, like a weight on your back. Walk into the evergreen, carry on, but the strongest will make it perhaps a mile or so before the weight of dread and paranoia brings you to your knees, and then to your face, flat in the middle of a dirt road. What were you thinking? Is this really better?

Wake up with a hangover, in a bed, the curtains drawn, the maid saying, "Breakfast is served," before scurrying out. The painkillers are there, just like you remember. In fact, it’s all exactly how you remember, as if you never left an imprint the first time, or any mess you made was cleared away while your back was turned. Walk to the dining room, find everyone there eating away at their breakfast. It’s self serve, naturally. Just not the eggs.

"We dress for dinner," says Portia, with a kind, if discerning smile. "Black tie."




WHICH WAY TO THE BACCHANAL?

CONTENT WARNINGS: alcohol, nudity, potential for nsfw.

It’s been a balmy, warm summer in Saltburnt, with long, amber-hued nights making the house glow from the outside in. After the last party, things have managed to keep mostly calm and largely unassuming in the intervening weeks, with the focus kept on indoor activities β€” a scavenger hunt, a sex club, avoiding the outside trauma of cannibalistic cakes for as long as it seems to have taken the family and house staff to settle and, tangentially, forget. However, seemingly overnight a new structure appears on the outside grounds, under block construction fixtures and with loud building going on throughout the following day and night, tirelessly worked on. By the next day, however, the structure gets revealed β€” a Pantheon, and quite a sizable one (see: no, not terribly historically accurate) from the outside.

Between the columns and up the stone steps, you’ll find an entryway dedicated to worship on a grouping of twelve Roman gods β€” six male (Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, Apollo, Vulcan and Mercury) and their six female counterparts (Juno, Minerva, Venus, Diana, Vesta, and Ceres) β€” as depicted by several busts with small, holy fires lit before them for offerings. Notably, there’s also a thirteenth altar, with a statue depiction of the guest of honor: one John Gaius, who has been ascended to Roman godhood for the party. Offerings have the potential of gifting little boons to those who worship, like increased luck or a small amount of foresight. Feel free to make up your own, as influenced by the gods that you sacrifice to as you like.

Beyond the foyer, the space opens up into a sizable atrium that doubles as a dining hall, full of colorful, cushioned couches made for lounging while you eat. There's an endless supply of food brought in throughout the day, ranging from a traditional three course Mediterranean meal served with honey-sweetened spiced wine, to a more modern adaptation for pickier eaters with fried chicken and Red Bulls, to more adventurous eaters with flamingo tongue and fried doormice. Pistachios are served by the bowlful, fat figs littered on every tabletop, all alongside water flavored with rose petals. Also among the feast are several artistically decorated cakes, each featuring the name of any guest with a birthday in June or July. In addition to the meal, guests are encouraged to lay out plates in honor of dead loved ones, a more time honored tradition of Roman history, although here it has the benefit of being complimented by actual roaming skeletons (courtesy of John) who give animated attempts at play eating the food left for them.

Further into the temple, there is an overlarge, public bathing room for guests to enjoy, the bath carved into rock while the ceiling stays open air, for a visual on clear blue skies or a starry sewn tapestry. Modern heating has been applied to the water to make it steam and bubble, effectively creating a giant hot tub for patrons to slip into, in whatever state of undress they're comfortable with, though nude is greatly appreciated. When in Rome, as they say. Along the back wall is a more intimate stage for small parties, bedecked in a range of instruments and a karaoke machine, for a talent show, or just entertaining a few guests. Velveteen cushions sit in a circle facing each other, for Socratic circle style speech and debates, with a random grab bag of topics to choose from, that range from who is the best NSYNC member? to what is the meaning of life, really?

There is a second story to the structure, although there are no rooms. It's a roofless veranda that looks out on the backyard of the temple, wherein a concave dirt patch has been baking in the sun, for gladiatorial fights and the people observing them.






VENI, VIDI, VICI.


CONTENT WARNINGS: violence, body horror, gore, animal attacks (specifically wolf), potential body transformations.

You may have noticed in this particular party, a special leniency when it comes to costumes. Where usually semi-strict dresscodes are enforced, tonight it's more of a free for all for good reason: everyone dressed in a Roman inspired outfit (very loose is A-OK) will be seen as Roman royalty, while everyone not adhered to theme will be the royalty's slaves, servants, and workers. It's all for fun and more BDSM in practice than anything serious, but party poopers are expected to tend to their much more fun counterparts, especially once the gladiatorial fights commence. In addition, John, Furiosa, Hawk, Embry, Zoro, Matt, Nami, Chione, Hao, Koby, Alina, Tim, Alia, and Louis for their dedication to Otherworld have been gifted a single metal tag with their individual names on them, to give to collared friends of their choice for claiming purposes.

In any case, collared and claimed and laymen people are offered huge palm leaves for fanning, or grapes and pistachios and figs to hand serve their betters. Below, the gladiator fights take place all day β€” a somewhat humble dug out arena that's been lined with soft sand, accented in the back by an enclosed stone structure, no bigger than a single horse stall, where occasionally one can hear huffing and grunting coming from a too high to reach barred window. Anyone can take on a challenge, personal or for fun, and engage in a sparring match. The rules are simple: best of three rounds that end in a submissive pin or tapping out, wherein the loser loses their clothes after each fight. First go their clothes, then go their underwear. Fighting in the nude is an age honored tradition, of course, and we love our history.

That said, the stone building is a somewhat foreboding sight to anyone observing. As time goes on the structure begins to rattle, and as the sun starts to set, the integrity of the building becomes more and more questionable. By the time the last fight is over, a final challenge is announced to the public β€” a creature of great mythos, versus the entirety of the estate. From the rattling building, a 7ft Wolfman is guided out with gold, rattling chains wrapped around his impressive neck and wrists. Many onlookers applaud the spectacle, wrongly presuming it to be a play act for the party. However, the chains inevitably snap from those holding them, and the Wolfman gets set loose throughout the estate, running with supernatural speed on all fours throughout the temple and beyond.

Scared? Maybe you should be. The Wolfman is hungry, and indiscriminate with who he eats. It seems the only thing dissuading his appetite from certain people is the metal name tag some were given, like dogs recognizing their separate masters. Still, people will get attacked. A scratch or bite from the Wolfman will result in a similar transformation taking place, a necessary hunger set in your bones where vice and sin seem to infect you, become as necessary to you as breathing or sleeping. Indulge, and become more and more of a beast β€” abstain from all immoral acts, all wickedness for nine days, and the infection will cure itself.

If you find that too difficult, there is one other solution. Only 23 separate cuts will kill the Wolfman, who divides himself in odd ways with every penetration β€” less like he's being stabbed and more like he's being carved with every inflicted wound, the two halves of himself sliced apart. The 23rd and last attack completely separates the wolf from the man. It leaves a desiccated human corpse in its wake, and a full blooded wolf scampering off into the dark depths of Saltburnt proper, lost in its many rooms.

It'll probably be fine! Despite that hiccup, the Pantheon stays up for the month to encourage an ongoing celebration, the party inside ranging from feral, half-made Wolfpeople frenzy to a fragile relaxation depending on the state of the Wolfman. Thank you as always for bewaring the ides.

–—which way to the bacchanal?

[ There’s a strange sense of familiarity, here. Something parodical about it all, about Rome, about β€” God.

Doesn’t sit right with him, really. Nothing sits right with him; the hedonism is too familiar. It’s an old tactic, it’s a familiar temptation. Let go of your inhibitions, give into the euphoria of submission, of pain, of evil. This is what demons do, and Marcus been wondering, assuming, this has been an active invasion of his psyche for days.

He simply hasn’t been able to wake up. Instead, he’s dressed in a toga, handed a drink, and fighting the urge to scream.

Needless to say he’s tense when he glances at their false God for the night, with his blackened eyes and his sloppy servants.

He feels - scared. On edge. Feels ready to claw out of his own skin looking for a sign of reality. He won’t get it here, so eventually he moves to the gladiator pits, strips off, and prepares to fight. ]


–—veni, vidi, vici

[The beast scratches him. It happens so suddenly, so terribly fast. It scratches him, and someone tends to the wound across his cheek, and he thinks finally, at last, a monster.

In the days that come, he wants nothing more than to rut, to tear, to bite. He stays in his room. He barricades the door; each time he falls asleep he awakes somewhere else. A hallway; the library, the kitchen, the gardens. Each time he falls to his knees, presses his forehead to his knuckles and begins to pray.

On the sixth day, it’s becoming harder to resist. Harder to stay awake, to stay locked up. Harder to remember the call to God, the sacred words, the vows. ]

Is there a chapel in the house? Or somewhere quiet, with a radio?

which way to the bacchanal?

[personal profile] nishtha 2024-07-09 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So far, their hosts have been two for two when it comes to party themes that manage to rattle Armand's calm, vaudevillian adaptations of his own history in ways that feel almost purposeful. Not that he was around during the Roman era; but his Maker certainly had been, that ancient creature continuing to enjoy the aesthetic long into the 1500's in Venice, so Armand walks through the columns with a certain degree of wry apprehension.

He's allowed himself to be costumed for it, at least, though he's chosen a style closer to his own heart: barefoot, eyes and lips decorated, loose white dhoti in place of a toga and naked skin from head to hips, his upper body dressed only with a few slim gold chains around his neck and wrists. For now, early on, he's sticking to the margins, watching and waiting as the mortals act out their fantasies of the old world.

Then he spots the man across the room. A familiar cast to his features that draws Armand's attention, though he doesn't place it immediately. It's only as he concentrates, picking out the soft Northern English burr of his voice, a pitch designed to be thrown across grand audience stalls, that he places it. A bottle blond sneering at him from his memories. This mortal, then -- a descendant? Santiago had surely no compulsions against spreading his seed before he was turned, so it's possible.

Interested in finding out, Armand picks up a pair of goblets of rich red wine from a passing tray and crosses the space, arriving at the man's side and studying him with kohl-outlined eyes.
]

Here. [ He offers the wine. ] I find it helps.
naomh: (008.)

[personal profile] naomh 2024-07-10 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[The wine comes and Marcus feels himself drawn out from the blistering paranoia of his own thoughts. His eyes, tired, wrinkled, are drawn to Armand's. Bright amber, molten loveliness. Single iris, pupil, and still otherworldly bright and pure. Everything here has felt otherworldly in some capacity. Unreal.

He takes the goblet and looks at the red; communion red, holy red. He says: ]
I'm a beer man, myself. But anything for liquid courage.

[His mouth is awkward when it smiles. Tight, grateful, but unwilling to split his lips, forced. ]
nishtha: (pic#17203777)

[personal profile] nishtha 2024-07-12 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's not an uncommon expression on the edges of a gathering like this. Armand is merciless; he doesn't bother trying to soften it with a joke or a reassuring comment. Instead, he merely observes the stranger in front of him, his own smile a touch amused. He takes a sip from his own goblet, for the sake of disguise, listening to the man's heartbeat. ]

Courage is often required in new places. But is there so much to fear from a dinner party?

[ A sharp interest, though his eyes are soft, faintly appreciative. This man even sounds a little like Santiago, a ghost speaking through his mouth. ]
naomh: (007.)

[personal profile] naomh 2024-07-16 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's how temptation starts, isn't it? Accepting blindly.

[This is how sin breaks in through the flesh: accept this food, and eat of it. This is not my body, this is not my blood, but it will sustain you. You will want more; you will need more. This is how the devil comes inside, and takes root in the sin all men are born with.

He feels half insane, trying to recall scripture, to recall why he's suspicious, to hold onto all that he knows to be true. He laughs, as though he's joking; as though it's absurd. ]
No, no I'm just - I've been told I lack decent table manners. Bit afraid I'll offend our esteemed hosts.

[The best lies hold some truth, don't they? Marcus has been, historically, a bit of a prick. Power makes him unsettled. Money makes him cautious. Wary. ]

[There's a matching scratch thrumming in time with his heartbeat, across one arm, and Corry's bandaged it enough times that it should be on the mend, should be at least clotting, but it keeps bleeding sluggishly, throbs in the night when he wakes halfway out the window, shoulders shuddering in the night air. He tries to distract himself, worried about -- what, really, that he'll give in to his desires, do something he can't undo? It's one thing if it's just him, alone and unobserved, but there are servants and eyes all over Saltburnt.

So he paces the halls, breathes in, out, hyperaware of sounds, scents, everything. The sight of someone else walking in that tight, tense way, someone kneeling down, pressing their hands to their head and --
]

Not sure that'll help. [A rasp, without Corry's usual glib air. He rests a hand on the nearest wall, breathes in, out. In.] Though please, let me know if I'm wrong. I'd love to be wrong.

[He would love Corry to be wrong, too. He prays, continuously, devotedly, desperately, in pure seething frustration, and his father does not answer. He does not hear; he does not choose to hear. This is not the first time God has broken Marcus' heart, but Marcus knows that his father does what he needs to.

Marcus has to overcome on his own, then. Fuck knows how he'll manage it, but he supposes he'll have to keep fucking trying. ]
He's not - hearing. [The first step is admitting it. ] But it doesn't mean he isn't listening.

[He's sweating. He's hard, he's hungry, he's full of want, of primal need. This is how the fallen feel, he thinks. Ironic; terrifying. He manages a wry smile. ] You can join me, if you'd like. It's meditative, at least.

( perhaps it is just that lucifer is drawn to sin.

the inhuman sense in him knows it to be happening, the precipice of some horrible choice, the weakening resolve of the man turning from the dark to find the light. silly choice. novel choice, really β€”Β the presumption of sin as defined by god is hidden in every person, just waiting to crawl out. but luci's magic is all built on the notion of sacrifice, making marcus keane a particular beacon of unclaimed spiritual energy. the man who has dedicated himself to chastity, to god, at the juncture of rutting, cumming, ferality? lucifer could no sooner deny himself a cup of hot whiskey.

he sees him prostrating, and finds the motion as enticing as it is disgusting. reminds him for the early days of life, when he and all his brethren angels would beg and pray and hope for a flash of god's ankles, a sign of his light, his listening. snorting, luci steps up. keeps stepping, until his bare foot is on the back of marcus' head, kicking his face down into the ground and holding him there, annoyed, aroused, yes.

Sorry, did I interrupt something?

[God does not come for him. God does not hear him, does not see him here in this liminal abyss of sin, of unholy temptation, this unknown place where his love does not reach. His fingers grasp at the carpets, nails digging in through the lush polyblend to the netted bottom. He gasps, he wails, his hips arch down into it and he knows shame well, but not like this.

God does not come for him, but his son does. Marcus does not know this, but he feels it, somehow. A sixth sense for the unholy, the whisper in the night that beckons to sin. He looks at each toe with wet, seething rage. With raw hunger. With sudden clarity. ]

You walk in, and you buy some deep fried potatoes or fish. They're a culinary delight where I'm from.

I'm partial to brown, myself. I'm easy for curry, too.
