πππππ, πππππ, πππππ β£ NOV TDM
NOVEMBER 2024 TDM: RENAISSANCE
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, using Β« 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 isnβt, 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 itβs normal for you. Maybe it isnβt.
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? Havenβt 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, some who seem just as disgruntled and confused as you. No matter. "Breakfast will be out in a minute," they say. What's that?
EDIT SEPTEMBER 2024: For those who have attended breakfast with the Balfours before, a change in routine might come as a shock, given how rarely they stray from form. However, as of September, CARMY BERZATTO has taken over Head Chef position, alongside his cousin RICHIE JERIMOVICH and always the bridesmaid never the bride, SANJI. In place of the self-serve style breakfast, there is an elevated menu, including: a self-serve juice bar, with pitchers of various juiced fruit and vegetables, shaved ice, coconut water, green and black tea syrups, potted microherbs, sliced whole berries, and finger limes. There is also, naturally, liquor and champagne available. Guests can make their own drinks, or ask the allocated staff member to serve them one of the "specials" if they're feeling adventurous.
πππ πππππ: one runny boiled egg shelled and recoated in edible gold leaf, seated on a throne of fried bread soldiers, plated with whipped butter and italian parsley.
ππππ ππππππππ: vinegar poached eggs with hollandaise foam on a bed of toasted freekah and baby spinach.
ππππ πππππππππππ: two eggs poached in a ramekin of pureed tomato, served with a crispy grilled cheese cut to dip.
πππ ππππππ: french omelette with a light cheese filling, topped with crushed potato chips and chives.
ππππ π πππππππππ: fluffy scrambled eggs in brown butter, served on sourdough.
πππππππ ππππ: mini-quiche made with caramelized red onions and jamon pata negra ham.
πππ ππππππππππ: bacon, egg, cheese and sausage breakfast muffin that tastes weirdly like it was made at a popular chain with golden arches.

β fette biscottate with a sour cherry jam and peanut floss β

β poffertjes with a liquid nutella injection β
If you want to leave, youβll 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 heβs as good at being invisible as the rest of the house staff. Of course, thereβs no reason why you canβt 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 doesnβt want you to leave. Those more sensitive or fragile might find they canβt 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 doesnβt 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, itβs 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.
"We dress for dinner," says Portia, with a kind, if discerning smile. "Black tie."

2 GIRLS 1 CUP
CONTENT WARNINGS: nudity, potential for nsfw.
Over the past few days, a bit of construction has taken place on the grounds of the Saltburnt estate, and while it's difficult to piece together what exactly is being built, it's clear to see: whatever it is, it's massive, taking up a huge percentage of the grounds with multiple included structures. On the outside it seems almost like a neighborhood is being sprung up βΒ new houses for people to live in, maybe? New shops, disconnected from the manor at large? All is revealed on opening day, when upon entry all are greeted with cheery hellos from jauntily clad persons shouting, "Huzzah!" and "Hail and well met!" For the more medieval and fantasy inclined among you, it might feel like stepping somewhere familiar and homey. To the rest, you know β you've just walked into a Ren Faire. Costumes are expected.
Not sure what to wear? Those born between SEPTEMBER to FEBRUARY are dubbed part of the Unseelie Court, which is associated with darkness and decay, generally dressed in deep, dark colors. Those born between MARCH to AUGUST are part of the Seelie Court, which is associated with stars and sky, in lighter, brighter colors.
On either side of the split path, you're assaulted by the scents, sights, and sounds of any ordinary Ren Faire. Vendors pawn off garlicky mushrooms and full turkey legs, or flower crowns and juggling sticks in exchange for a kiss, a secret, a lock of hair, or something of equal nonsensical value. Step inside a shop and see sellers offering crude jewelry and satchels of loose leaf tea, fudge sold by the ounce and porcelain ocarinas. Essentially, if it's kitschy and thematic, you can find it here, being sold to you by people in costume who refuse to break character.
Shopping not quite your style? Fear not! If you're lucky in your wanderings, your might spot the Unseelie Queen ALICENT HIGHTOWER or her counterpart and opposed Seelie Queen LAURALAE carried on palanquins towards the very back of the faire, where the real heart of the show takes place in a small stadium for entertainment purposes βΒ a tourney for distinguishing yourself as the best among your peers in the manor. Prior to the tourney, all characters are given a favor of some kind ( an embroidered handkerchief, ribbon, garland, or piece of jewelry ) to give to a person of their choosing, be they a competitor or not, to show their support. Strangely, this favor seems to link them through an empathetic, sensation-based bond, so they feel everything their chosen competitor experiences. Mutual favors result in a mutual bond.
The challenges are set: ARCHERY/KNIFE THROWING, SWORDFIGHTING/HAND-TO-HAND, and a BARD'S TOURNEY. In addition to the more ye olde flavor of competition, there are also challenges for COUPLE TENNIS, HORSE POLO, and CHESS. And, in true Saltburnt fashion, there is also a somewhat lewd display of voyeuristic NUDE WRESTLING, where the first person to have an orgasm loses. (You can sign up for these competitions HERE.) To every challenge there is dubbed a winner, who in the old Westerosi tradition gets to crown a chosen "maiden" with the title THE QUEEN OR KING OF LOVE AND BEAUTY and an extravagant wreath of flowers, their victory dedicated to the lucky lord or lady. These wreaths are both fashionable and functional β while wearing them, no one can resist following whatever queenly command your character gives. Additionally, winners will receive prizes courtesy of Saltburnt, all to be determined upon victory.
Whichever queen has the most winners at the end of the tourney is crowned HIGH QUEEN OF THE FAE. The Queen is paraded around and celebrated by all, and while tribute is not necessary, it certainly is appreciated!

RING AROUND THE ROSEY
CONTENT WARNINGS: potential for nsfw.
The Ren Faire fixture runs adjacent to the tree line of the forest, which one can enter through a booth manned by THE GREAT WIZARD ARCHIBALD, who warns you to be prepared to enter the Realm of the Fae beyond his backdrop curtain, before handing you a flower and a pair of antlers (or a head piece from your fauna choice) for your journey to the beyond. Upon entering, you are greeted by a forest that bears no resemblance to the woods you've grown to expect in your time at the manor, everything more exaggeratedly lush than it had been even a day or so prior. Plump fruits with slightly glimmering skins grow fat on the vine, every leaf on every tree vibrant and healthy despite the changing of seasons, gone orange and red with the cold. Despite that, it's surprisingly balmy in the forest, everything illuminated by glimmering fairy lights and strung up lanterns. Flowers bloom under your feet, alongside perfect little red mushrooms, everything so idealistic it almost borders on discomfort.
Despite any reservations, there is a wild compulsion to everyone who enters the forest. The flower the wizard gave you is pungent enough to dizzy your head, leading you to the instinct of frolicking β or if you're not the type to frolick, then wandering βΒ through the woods, to find some counterpart to your particular flower in a very innocent (or not so innocent) game of cat and mouse. Once you find them, a simple kiss will serve as enough to claim your prize and ease the compulsion. Unless, of course, you want to give a little more. It couldn't hurt, right?
Wander further through the seemingly never ending woods, drawn on of the beauty of faerie, and find yourself at a somewhat rundown chapel surrounded by foliage, the roof and walls broken down with age, invaded by exploring plant life that crawls and vines through every crack and opening. While the stone altar of indeterminate denomination seems like it hasn't been seen for hundreds of years, let alone cleaned, there's the distinct impression you are walking on hallowed, sacred ground when you move to inspect it. Those clever among you might note different runes etched on what appears to be a wooden tabernacle on an ancient pillar at the back of the chapel. Looking into it, there's a word from an unknown language carved inside, complimented with a cheat sheet bit of yellowing paper which reads F. M. K., with further explanation: FRIENDS, MARRY, KINK.
What could it mean? Well. You and whoever you entered the chapel with, or whoever enters next, are stuck until further notice unless you complete one of the proffered options. FRIENDS, it's time you bury the hatchet, let bygones be bygones and accept our faults moving forward, together, to the future. MARRY, let's seal our bonded union with the trees as our witness, in a church of our own making. KINK, if the altar can't be used for the former, it can certainly be used for the latter. Nothing vanilla will do βΒ kink up or shut up.
Once completed, you're free to leave and roam around the forest at your leisure. If you wander far enough you might hear a distant, organic sound whirring and clicking from the trees, but don't worry. Whatever is watching you probably doesn't bite.

DIRECTORY
MA'AM π³
He hoisted himself to his side, before he reached out to try and press a hand to her shoulder, to flip her. Heinrix was a warrior, and could fight. He was well practiced, but he was slow compared to her, being a bulkier, larger man. Well muscled, and handsome, but there's something about him that's all... inauthenticity. He moves like every motion is deliberate, and considered. ]
I saw your bout.
[ He hissed, with a roll of his eyes. ] And you have no idea how right you are. Now me, on the other hand β
[ This time, he pushed, attempting to bowl her over so he could land on top of her. ] β I take a bit more care.
Manners is a good start. [ Maybe if he can touch that ribcage, he could heal the stain the Xenos left on her. Would the shock be enough? ]
no subject
Mia reaches with her less-damaged hand ( still missing a pinky nail from clawing at Marazhai β ), curling it around Heinrix's jaw with a simpering sound. Rich and coarse as her manner, she pushes her torso up and into his palm as if to invite him in. He takes more care, by his own words, which means less pummeling the shit out of him and more focus. Making her moves count, especially because she's fighting injured. Wrestling a broad man on fumes.
Men always want to land on top, though. She latches her legs around his waist and twists, against her grinding ribs and the flare of pain, to keep Heinrix's weight and trajectory going β hoping to spill him up and over, flipping herself along with him so she could land on top. ]
Pretty please, Heinrix? I'll get you off so good, you won't even be upset to lose.
[ ok she's still awful
but at least she can tighten her thighs, like she's ready to ride a bronco, and reach behind her to stroke her fingers along his inner thigh β arching her spine as she walks her nails down toward his knee, and back up. slowly. deliberately. ]
no subject
His big hands reach up to her ribcage, and he ran a thumb along one of the cuts, a chill falls over where they lay in the arena, and Mia will feel a chill up her spine like ice creeping upward. ]
Would I be worth your time if I didn't make it a challenge? [ his hiss from her fingers was a distraction. He couldn't help it, and he wouldn't redirect his bloodflow. That was unsportsmanlike for this. That didn't mean he wouldn't play dirty. His thumb on her rib stroked again, less chill this time. ]
You don't seem the type to enjoy an easy win.
and here goes mia's mouth
[ And that's true. Mia has a discerning eye, after all. She only engages in challenges she knows she's not going to surmount immediately; even if her revenge has been completed ( as far as she knows; she has to trust that she took Scaeva down, that the two of them fell together β ), she's still here. Fighting a big guy who clearly knows his body and power is practically a call to arms for her. The bigger and more dangerous, the more she wants to involve herself.
Weaklings and pussies aren't for her. Unless they're cute, well-bred girls, and then she's more than happy to set blade and fist aside and ruck up some skirts ( Sansa, Francesca, she's looking at you...... ). ]
Oh, wow β [ She feels her spine arch, the cold crackling down it like her bones might be breaking. The broad press of his thumb on her rib is nice. Not the greatest, but it's nice in an alarming way. She wonders if he could push a little more of that power into her, and freeze her from the inside out. Wonders if it's like that, or some other strange ability she's got to get a lock on, real fast.
Not right now, though. Not when she can roll her hips slowly against his stomach, thighs spread wide enough to push her cunt flat to his belly and try to catch her clit on his navel. Working herself in shallow, unsatisfying circles as she leans herself backwards far enough to scratch her nails up the insides of his thighs and into the join β right where nerves and muscle sit below the skin. If she were to dig into that juncture of hip and thigh, it'd fucking hurt most people. ]
Ever thought about sinking a few fingers into a girl's heat and making her shiver instead? You ever put them in yourself, Heinrix?
lmfao i almost replied to this with the VERY wrong account
Heinrix was happy to wrestle her to the ground, but what he'd gotten himself into wasn't clear until she started rubbing herself on him, asking questions that made his throat close up and his mouth hang open and slack. He looked up at her with a flush tingeing his cheeks, sweat plastered his hair to his forehead, and something stirred.
It was obvious to see she was having an easy time getting him ready for the main event. ]
Ah β
[ He cought softly, moving a hand to cover it. ] I prefer not to kiss and tell.
[ But he would give as good as he got. But first: ] I hope you don't find me uncouth for this, but I won't be merely a conquest.
[ He reached up, and placed his hands at her ribs, right under her breasts. He moved them down, thought without that icey touch this time. Not for winning this fight. This was a sportsmanlike affair, and he was not about to use his psychic abilities just for that.
His fingers drifted downward, to press her hips against him. He moved her against him, instead of letting her control the speed, he rocked her against him, longer, slower. ]
no subject
Heinrix, everyone's watching us. You're definitely not going to be able to keep your dirty little secrets this time.
[ The point of the match is to make someone come before you, and even if Mia's got a head-start on that syrupy-dark ache building between her thighs, she's nothing if not a creature of precision and control. Being as slight as she is, she has to be one step ahead of a larger opponent; has to make sure she can out-maneuver them, out-last them, dominating men and beasts and the proverbial monsters of her world through a combination of determination and skill. Taking the premise of her killing arts and applying them to the "little death" is child's play.
His hands fit around her easy, is the thing. Relinquishing control of her hips to him, she leans forward and pushes her weight down through them, fitting her hands into the space alongside his neck. It keeps her far from his cock, like all she cares about is chasing her own pleasure while he strains. ]
C'mon, this is all for fun. I'm not going to make you wine and dine me before I put out. I'm just going to make you come first, okay?
[ A pause, as her dark hair falls around the two of them like rain, her mouth curling into a crooked little smirk. ]
β you can take me to dinner after, Mister Gentleman. You can make me feel like your special girl.
no subject
[ His face flushed at her words. It's not even conscious, he just feels the flush take his face, a bit of the heat, and his lips part just slightly.
Mia has him, hook line and sinker. ]
Well, at least let me make a show of it, yes?
[ She really just promised dinner and he's capitulating?
Yes.
He is such a softie for a little smile and dark hair like that. His hands move her against him again, setting the pace, and though they are complete, long strokes, it's slow. Heinrix does not seem the type to rush, Mia. Look at him. He does want to actually take his time, even if right now this is the furthest thing from where they should take their time. ]
I have a reputation to uphold, after all.
[ Does he? Does he?
But Mia will be able to note, even just a promise like that has certainly changed his chances of losing from a strong possibility to a guarantee. As evidenced by the growing interest ("interest") he has in her. ]
cw dubcon-ish thoughts
Heinrix likes his girls straightforward, but willing enough to be doted on. He wants to unpack a moment like he's moving into his forever home, and if she wasn't so fucked up a person, she'd find it endearing. He's cute, in a puppyish way. A puppy that could take her apart limb from limb, but a puppy all the same. Putting a big ol' collar around that throat might be in their future, if he's amenable.
Or not. It wouldn't be the first time she's taken what she wants from someone and left them thinking it was what they wanted all along. ]
Baby, we'll put on the best show. I won't let you look bad.
[ On the downswing of her hips, she dips her head and presses a coy kiss to the bridge of her nose. The flex of her arms pushes her past the grip of his hands upon her body, throwing her weight down the length of him to break free. Purposefully, she rides the warmth of her cunt along him, grinding down along his "interest" ( DICK ) β so close, that were she to cant her hips forward she could just start to sink him inside of her β before she's swinging around to try and get his arm in a lock and wrestle. ]
no subject
[ Mia is all fire and spite, and it can never be said that Heinrix was not enamored with a woman who could kick his ass like this, or lead and direct. Perhaps a magos somewhere would tell him that he had something to unpack about that, about being a loyal hound who oft followed direction well β he was independent to a fault, he would say, but the truth of it was that Heinrix could be given a direction and it would be executed perfectly within hours.
His hands break free from her when she slid down him, the loud hiss of breath from him when she just β almost sinks down on him β before she's swinging him around, and he's limber and probably flushed enough with endorphins that he lets her without a second thought. His muscles move fluidly, and he moves fluidly, without even a second thought to twist to let her get him into a lock.
It's only with a slight twitch of his hand, before he aims his elbow to between her legs, to brush up against her groin, undaunted with the opportunity to make this difficult for her. He doesn't mind losing to a pretty face, but he does mind not giving it his all. He reaches with his other hand to grab her foot, aiming to start tugging her back and over, aiming to have her straddle his neck β he's strong, but the angle makes it difficult, and the possibility of failure was high. ]
