MARCH 2025 TDM: RENEWAL


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 (THE REMIX)


CONTENT WARNINGS: drugs.

For once, it's not the pounding hangover that stirs you awake. Oh, it's still there, like little shards of glass being shoved through your skull — but your dry, cottony mouth should be the least of your concerns. When you turn over, it's clear that the glitz and glamor of your room has been ... well, neglected, as of late. The sheets are musty, the furniture covered in layers of dust that sets your nose off, the nightstand decorated with a glass of stale water growing a new bacteria culture. If you're looking for room service to cure your headache, you'll have look elsewhere for painkillers β€” the maid has very generously left you a more traditional form of medicine. A neat little bag of white powder rests at your bedside, for those that need a little extra pep in their step. Don't say the help never did anything for you.

Unfortunately, that's where the perks of your accommodations begin and end. If you thought you had the room all to yourself, think again. Maybe it's a stranger snuggled up to you in bed that first clues you in. Or maybe it's the mattresses laid out on the floor, sleepover style. Complaining to the maid that enters won't get you very far. "We apologize for the inconvenience," she says, clearly a rehearsed script she's had practice delivering. "We're in the middle of repairs. Guests will have to share four to a room." Ask her again, and mumbles out a mousy apology, before scurrying away. Guess you'll have to rock-paper-scissors to see who gets to claim the bed.

Eventually, your curiosity or hunger (or anger) wins out. Entering the corridor, "repairs" suddenly seems like an understatement. A putrid scent sits in the air, maids scrubbing at bits of guts stuck into the carpet like chewing gum. No one looks up from the frantic cleaning as you stroll down the corridors where you might find yourself ending up in the twists and turns of rooms, lost in what they offer. Regardless, seemingly all hallways, covered in priceless artworks that have been ripped from the wall and ancient artifacts knocked down from their rightful places, lead to the dining room in all of its cobwebbed disrepair.

There, Giles ushers guests onto the lawn. "Breakfast will be served outside today," he says, tight lines around his mouth. Traditional gingham blankets have been sprawled out on the lawn, protecting your legs from the thin layer of snowmelt still on the ground, as you're nudged together and urged to share amongst yourselves. Open up the wicker basket to a strange assortment scrounged together last minute by the kitchens: champagne before noon, lobster salad sandwiches, fruit cakes, artisanal cheeses, apples that look questionably rotten, and old Valentine's Day chocolates in plasticky heart boxes to polish it off. Do those taste spiked to you? It's a good thing it's still a crisp day to cool you off, once you start feeling a little warmer under the collar.

For those of you attempting your daring escapes, 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 cocaine is there, just like you remember. The strangers in your room 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. Walk to the estate lawns, and find everyone there eating away at their breakfast.

Welcome to Saltburnt, esteemed guests. Enjoy your treats while they last.




CUPID'S ARROW STRUCK ME

CONTENT WARNINGS: possible sex, violence, a/b/o themes (pheromones, mating, heat/rut), breeding, body transformation/body horror, aphrodisiacs.

They say all is fair in love and war, but making war instead of love is a tiresome sport. While the help mops blood from the floorboards, the Balfours have kindly arranged for a (very belated!) Lupercalia celebration. What better way to distract yourself from your pesky mortality, if not with the life-giving act of sex? Just ask the Ancient Romans.

For those guests who like to watch (we see you, voyeurs), the lawn's knolls offer a perfect viewing. There, you can participate in a hunt of a more innocent sort. Sprinkled throughout the lawn, hidden in flower pots and tree alcoves, are brightly colored plastic eggs. Pop them open, and you'll find hidden trinkets inside. Those lucky enough might win a new pair of Tiffany's diamonds; some, to your annoyance, explode in your face with glitter and confetti. Others contain chalky conversation hearts, stamped with their own sayings. Some lean more innocent, but there's no mistaking the X-Rated hearts in the bunch.

Whether yours are PG or NC-17, they share one thing in common: you're compelled by the spirit of whatever heart you munch on, whether it be embodying its mood or acting out its instructions with a partner.

For those guests who are a little more daring (helped along by the chocolates that might have you feeling bolder than normal), Jonty has agreed to lend his expertise to leading a hunt — of sorts. With his expert knowledge on nature, HALSIN has been appointed to lead the charge alongside him, calmly watching over those who take an interest in signing up. By the edge of the forest, volunteers are divided into various groups and given all they need to transform. Masked hunters browse through an assortment of flogs, bindings, collars, leashes, and riding crops for the pleasure (or pain) of their captured prey. As for guests who draw the short end of the stick? You're the prized catch of the day. You best run, rabbit, and hope the wolves don't catch your scent.

PREY is, at least, given the mercy of a head start — we're not complete animals, here. Stripped naked and vulnerable, with only a mask to protect you, the only goal on your mind is to outlast the hunters. It's all in good fun, at first. Women and men alike are dragged laughing and kicking by their ankles, a reward for their captor to do with as they please. Eventually, the thrill in your stomach turns to dread, and the dread turns into a cramping ache that leaves you gasping on the forest floor, unbearable pain wrenching through your insides. For a horrifying moment, you're certain your bones are going to split apart from your flesh. You burn and burn and burn with no relief, caught between your desire to run and your need to fill the emptiness within you.

HUNTERS aren't immune, either. There's something animal within you, clawing for escape. Instincts overtake all sense and logic, leaving behind the natural, predatory drive to claim. Participants gradually lose themselves in their roles, reduced to nothing more than a mess of base instincts. Your fellow hunters, perhaps once friends, are nothing more than competition to you now; you snap, violent and territorial, at any who cross your path. Your senses grow stronger, scenting the sweetness of your prey on the wind, single-mindedly chasing their trail.

Think that's the worst of it? Think again. You might become so absorbed in your role that your body follows suit, transforming before your very eyes. Furry ears sprout, tails emerge, fangs descend, claws sharpen, mating glands throb in your throat beg for attention, your anatomy grows new changes to accommodate your fun, compatible mates smell especially enticing — all determined by the mask you don, now trapped in your new form.

Happy hunting, dearests. Don't let your prey be the one who got away. You never know who might get to them first.






A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME


CONTENT WARNINGS: nsfw (exhibitionism, ritual sex, orgy), dubious consent via magical compulsion.

After a debauched weekend, the Balfours eventually get sick of cleaning cum and blood off of their expensive Tuscan curtains courtesy of their guests' constant animal urges, and search for a solution. It starts with a magic pull in the pit of your stomach one night, guiding you further into the woods, back to where it all began. The further you step into the darkened forest, the more that feeling unspools, until you find yourself at the base of an altar. Branches and flowers decorate its sides, but it's the whorling sigils that draw your eye. To even the most educated eye, they're indiscernible, like nothing you've ever seen — yet they seem to soothe you, as if you know this is where you were meant to be.

Gentle hands from servants shed your clothing. The night air is a balm on your overheated skin as countless hands paint the same symbols ritualistically over your stomach, your chest, your neck, imbuing you with a sudden overwhelming burst of ... something. Something ancient and powerful, a vessel for magic growing root in your belly. Regardless of gender, they name you LORD or MAIDEN as they step aside to form a holy circle, watching you with reverent stares.

As a Lord, you don't know how you know, but you're aware you must choose your Maiden from the crowd. Maybe it's your mate, if you've taken one; maybe it's a stranger, inexplicably calling to you. But the magic leads you to them, unable to deny the call, as you bed them on the altar for all to see. Others around you do the same, pairing off or joining couples with wandering hands, smudging lines of paint in their ecstasy. Upon completing the rite with your chosen (or several chosens), magic releases itself into the land like a ripple, urging on the fertile beginnings of springtime. Trees sprout full leaves. Rose bushes come into full bloom. Those who suffered transformations come back to themselves, losing all of their animal features, and regaining their minds.

To fully embrace the season's change, you're invited to the lakeside festivities that follow. Several fires flicker warmly, dancers in various states of undress beckoning you to join them as they twirl themselves around. Some call for you to leap over the flames, showing you how it's done with a bit of drunken grace. All guests are urged to "purify" themselves in the spirit of rebirth, starting with your fears and hang-ups and rancid vibes. Choose a sentimental item to sacrifice, and release yourself from the bad memories attached, by feeding it to the flames. Or pen those letters you can't bring yourself to send, pouring out those emotions you've kept inside, and watch the pages burn away the baggage they contain.

Be careful with them, however — those letters are delivered to rooms the very next day, airing out your dirty laundry to their intended (or unintended, oops) recipient. You might even find they've been left in very public view, carelessly strewn onto the dining table or hung up in the corridors, for anyone to read. Those text drafts you also never meant to see the light of day? Fired off to the person you thought better of sending them to. Did you mean for those to stay private? Too bad, so sad. Part of purification is making amends with yourself and your loved ones, so get to it if you want to clean your dirty soul.

More of a "wash that guy right out of your hair" kind of person? Come join the communal bathing in the lake, where you're encouraged to give your neighbor a helpful hand. Is it just the moonlight, or do they look much more irresistibly beautiful? Whatever the case, pouring a palmful of water over each other seems to wash away old pains, whether physical or mental. Scars begin to fade as complexions become brighter. Your anxieties melt away until you can't remember ever having them. Festering grudges disappear. You are well and truly free for the night, unburdened by what came before. Nothing can hold you back.

If you're not looking to get your toes wet, you can participate in love fortune-telling at the seed planting and flower-making station. Individuals are paired off and led to a patch of garden where they can plant new life for the upcoming season, encouraged to write down their intentions and hopes for the upcoming spring, and share them by burying them alongside their seed. In another area, supplies have been left out to twine together your own flowering wreaths, which are then sent to float in the lake. Whoever picks up your wreath is rumored to be your soulmate, and if you didn't believe in them before — you do now. As if struck by Cupid's arrow, you fall head over heels for them, no matter how you felt about them before.

As you sip on tea and munch on sweet dumplings, be sure to make your final stop the Wishing Tree. Ribbons hang from its branches in delicate pastel colors, each of them bearing someone's desire. Blank scraps wait nearby, encouraging you to write and share your own. Who knows? It might just come true.

[ Her skin is flushed, too warm, sweat making her glow from all the running, the tussling, and now the arousal in Saber's hand, that first touch enough to make her whine and tremble all over, holding onto his shoulders instead of pushing him away. It's not the first time she's felt this out of control, but it's never felt like a hunger, a need to keep him there now that he's started.

That's Saber, she'd know that voice even if he hadn't lifted his mask, but the expected sense of wrongness (the voice that always goes we're not like that) is nowhere to be found when his mouth finds her neck and his hand massages her dick. Would it even matter at this pointβ€”? ]


F-fuck, I β€” how did you even find me?

[he's caught someone valuable. cellar, who he's fantasized about enough to make him think a them really exists, who's said that she loves him, who he now has weak from his touch. he's alert to all of her: how her breath hitches in her throat, the taste of her sweat on his tongue, the delicious scent that permeates from her body. she's not resisting, which means he can keep going. has to keep going.

he's trapped her between himself and a tree, using his leg to nudge hers further apart. the question has a delayed answer, mouth too busy with exposed skin until he pulls away to meet her gaze, lips wet and darkened with saliva.
]

I'm always gonna find you, Cellar, just like I told you I would. I promised.

[his body is so hot, even the smallest graze of skin against skin makes him wild. leaning his face close to hers and nudging their noses together, whispering,]

I've waited a long time for this. Kiss me.

[ The press of his leg between her thighs makes her weak, hips twitching a little, then rolling into the curve of his skin, a soft noise in her throat at the surge of pleasure, the pang of pain in her stomach, and the absence of his mouth from her neck. She asked the question that demanded it, yet she looks at him like he just dared to take away the last drop of water on Earth.

I'm always gonna find you, Cellar. Her heart sinks at that, jolted by the reminder of what he is to her β€” and what she is to him β€” in this game, a hunter who made good on a promise β€” a threat. Her mind screams that he was made to devour her; her body insists that this is how the torture ends.

Like it's been conditioned, written into her, Saber nears in and her hand grabs the back of his neck. Her lips are parted, her eyes on his mouth before they make contact; brows drawn together, lashes wet when pain shoots through her like a whip, Cellar closes the distance with a sob, kissing him desperately. ]


It fucking hurts, [ She speaks into the embrace, voice weak, pleading for a cure. ] Can you make it stop?

[the tears forming at the corners of her eyes make his cock twitch, mostly for the primal need to ease her pain, to fuck and fill her until she's satisfied and content. the manor's power seems to be giving everyone a trip where saber continues to enjoy his luck. kissing her with a hunger he's held on to for too long, slipping tongue past teeth to taste her and moan into her mouth.

touching her, thumb gliding over the head to feel liquid drip onto his skin isn't enough. he knows that won't be enough for her. it's not enough for him, his cock aches to be inside her, her scent is everywhere and he wants to make her his. teeth want to bite, hands want to tear apart, tear into. reassuring, he shushes her,
]

That's why I'm hereβ€” I'll make it right. I'll take care of you. Here, c'mon, you wanna lie down for me?

[he's making suggestions but pulling away from him may prove difficult. he's latching on to her neck with mouth once more, teeth digging into soft flesh (are they longer, sharper? or perhaps it's the forest's magic making him want to show everyone that this - cellar - is his, that he's captured her, pinned her and made her beg for the hunter to take his final bite).]

[ Her kiss is sloppy, wanting too much, hurting too much. Any training she's had to withstand pain never included the other factor at play here, destabilizing her mind, weakening every defense, welcoming his touch no matter how painful or unbearably good. Cellar twitches against his fingers, too, thoughts scattered and frantic, a wild bird in a cage after a beast swats at the bars keeping it safe. (Keeping it trapped.) ]

Will that help?

[ She knows and she wants it to, yet the side that sought guidance from Saber last month β€” the man forbidden from being her mentor because Great stepped in first β€” floats right back up to the surface, making her sound pathetic and sweet. Her reaction to his bite follows, a sound that never quite makes it past her lips, cut short with a gasp. Legs weak, fingers tense, Cellar starts to make herself limp, biting her lower lip to endure what he's giving her as she tries to drag them both down, where he can have her on her back or on her stomach. She can do this β€” she's been through worse. Saber has rescued her from worse. That's what he's doing now. That's what he always does when she calls. He makes it all better. ]

It'll help, I promise - I promise.

[and he keeps promising with his lips on her skin, on her mouth, leaning in as she drags him down. dreams of dreams of dreams come to fruition. he doesn't think about how none of this would happen if not because of the forest. this is fate, this is exactly what he wants. she's asking for him, begging for him to take her pain away.

her pale skin flushed from heat, her breathy whispers and needy touches. how much until she's useless beneath him, until her mind is swept blank with only thoughts of him. he marks her with his hands and his teeth (fuck you theo), leaves his scent anywhere he can. he's thought so much about how he wants to take her. there isn't time to linger on his fantasies with her trembling in his hands. he wants to look at her, to see her eyes get wide, as much as he wants to shove her into the dirt and see how it reddens her face.

panting, spit trailing from the corner of his mouth because he wasn't able to lick it up fast enough, heart so loud in his ears. he's hungry, god he's hungry, laying her down on her back because he can always turn her over later. gentle, he reminds himself. he has to be gentle, crawling on top of her and palming hair away from her face with one hand while the other presses two fingers into her mouth.

Open up, baby. [baby. his. his. his.] Make them wet.

[ Every time she feels him on her she forgets everything else; every time he stops she's cruelly reawakened to the pain of not being his. He seems so large then, getting on top of her, mouth slick from all that time spent leaving his mark on her skin, from the softer curves to where it's most sensitive near the bones. She's slick too, fluid running between her legs, palms flat and fingers clawing at the ground underneath, both a comfort and a prison of the forest that's spinning her thoughts and twisting her insides.

Grabbing his hand, needy and anxious, Cellar sucks two fingers into an obedient mouth. There's a muffled whimper as they slide deep, as soft as a flicker of light, eyes shutting slowly. Saber wants them wet, so she'll get them wet β€” she'll suck, in and out, studying every detail with an indulgent tongue. Legs part slightly, hips moving from one side to another and arching back, seeking relief before another terrible spasm hits. ]

[her hands get smudged with dirt and grass and sweat and he hopes she'll hurry up and give in completely, to dirty him as much as he plans on dirtying her. cellar is so passionate in how she grips at his hand, it's hypnotizing seeing his fingers disappear inside her mouth. dazed and salivating for her as he imagines that mouth around his dick and what sounds she'd make when she gags on it.]

There we go, that's my girl.

[too filled to protest his claims until he pulls his fingers away to bring them low, slick and dripping, pressing at her tight hole to slip inside. he's not waiting for a yes or a no when he knows it's a yes with how her hips roll up for attention and her back arches. he eases her into it, fucks her with one finger to open her up and press a second inside. he's just as needy. he has a role he needs to fulfill and he's hot for it, cock dripping precome and pressing painfully against his pants. he distracts himself by kissing her, sloppy, licking up saliva that his fingers couldn't hold.]

[ She watches him for those last moments, her tongue a cushion on the base of her mouth when Saber pulls his fingers out and puts them to use. It isn't the first time she's questioned herself having sex in these woods; it isn't the first time whatever substance or magic in her system silenced her mind to prioritize her body. Cellar lets go of control now as she did during the Wassail, lets her eyes shut and learns how well Saber can prepare her, fingers working with enough confidence to seem like familiarity. She holds his nape when he comes down for a kiss, tempted by relief and fueled by need. What is there to protest? Saber is finally taking care of her without having to hurt someone else, and a conveniently forgetful stray thought wonders why they didn't just pick this path from the beginning. ]

I don't know if this is real, [ Whispered against his lips, fingers kneading his skin. ]
