Pool Deck

Cerulean rectangle, white loungers, guests pretending to read in the sun, and an outdoor shower with sheer glass doors.

Quick facts

Entry knot: Resort_PoolDeck
Hotspots: sunbathe, drink, leave
Bg image: resort_pool_deck / resort_pool_deck_night
Cycle: pool_deck_event_cycle (6 events)
Drink price: $12

TL;DR

Claim a lounger (5 Energy, 1 TimeSlot, do_relief 5, -1 Shame, 60% RNG roll on the shuffle bag) or order a poolside drink ($12, +2 Arousal, 3 Energy). The lounger is the discovery channel. Most of the pool’s content lives in the shuffle-bag pool, not in direct actions.

Weekend Event 1 (Pool Party) takes over this venue Saturday afternoon if Iris has met you (iris_stage >= 1) and the dispatcher rolled this event.

Direct actions

Claim a lounger. Resort_PoolDeck_Sunbathe

do_action(5, 1), do_relief(5), shame_gain(-1). Always runs the heal even if no event fires. RNG = 60% to roll a shuffle-bag pool event; if it fires, the event branches gate on stat / outfit / Dante prerequisites, with a “Quiet Afternoon” fallback for picks whose specific gates fail.

Poolside drink. Resort_PoolDeck_Drink

3 Energy, no time tick, $12, Arousal +2. Just a beat. The waiter pours something pink with a paper umbrella. Doesn’t trigger the shuffle.

Pool-deck shuffle bag

Six events on pool_deck_event_cycle, all routed from the lounger sunbathe knot. Gated picks now have explicit “Quiet Afternoon” fallback (v0.2.7 audit M4) so a Day-1 femboy doesn’t roll a no-op:

#	Knot	Gate	Notes
1	`PoolEvent_Lifeguard`	Fem 20	Eye contact, smile (+1 Fem) or ignore
2	`PoolEvent_SharedLounger`	None	Woman next-lounger chats you up like a girlfriend (+1 Fem, -1 Shame)
3	`PoolEvent_BikiniEnvy`	EquippedFeminine	Stranger asks where your bikini is from (+1 Fem, +1 Shame)
4	`PoolEvent_HotTubCreep`	Fem 25	Forty-something patron pats the edge, 3 branches
5	`PoolEvent_OutdoorShower`	None	Surfer-type in the next stall, share / solo (+2 Fem +1 Sub do_relief 15)
6	`PoolEvent_DanteSpot`	dante_stage 1-4, not met today	Dante walks past, “I’ll find you at the bar later”

Fallback is PoolEvent_QuietAfternoon (-1 Shame, generic beat). It catches gated picks 1, 3, 4, and 6 when the player’s state doesn’t match.

Hot tub creep

PoolEvent_HotTubCreep is the only multi-option event in the shuffle. Three branches:

Step in at the far side (+1 Fem, +1 Sub, Arousal +4, +1 Shame).
Pretend you were just passing (Arousal +2, no stat hit).
Tell him you’re good, thanks (+1 Sub for the boundary, -1 Shame).

Outdoor shower

PoolEvent_OutdoorShower is the highest-relief event on the property pool side. “Share his stall” (gated Femininity >= 30) is full sex (+2 Fem, +1 Sub, Arousal -> 0, do_relief 15, +2 Shame). Solo branch is Arousal +4, -1 Shame.

Dante cameo

PoolEvent_DanteSpot (shuffle pick 6, gated dante_stage >= 1 && dante_stage < 5) is the Dante “I’ll find you at the bar later” promise. Adds +1 to dante_rapport. Only locks the day at stage 2+ (the stage 1 cameo IS the bar invitation, so it shouldn’t lock that day’s tiki-bar Dante meet).

Weekend variants

Weekend Event 1 (Pool Party) takes over the Pool Deck Saturday afternoon when Iris is hosting. Three player branches:

“Take the empty lounger between Tyler and Kai” (Weekend_Event_1_PoolParty_Loungers): +2 Fem, +1 Sub, Arousal +15. Escalates to Weekend_Event_1_PoolParty_Cabana (threesome with Tyler and Kai).
“Drift into the bikini crew” (Weekend_Event_1_PoolParty_Strangers): +2 Fem, +1 Sub, Arousal +12, +2 Shame.
“Help Iris at the bar” (Weekend_Event_1_PoolParty_Iris): +1 Fem, +1 Sub, $45 tips.

All routes converge at Weekend_Event_1_PoolParty_Aftermath. The event is gated on iris_stage >= 1; if you haven’t met Iris at the Tiki Bar, the dispatcher won’t pick this event.

Tips and gotchas

The shuffle is 60% to fire, not 100%

Resort_PoolDeck_Sunbathe rolls RANDOM(1, 100) and only enters the shuffle on roll <= 60. The other 40% is just the quiet sunbathe and the do_relief 5. Don’t expect every lounger session to produce content.

Outdoor Shower is Fem 30-gated, not a hub-level gate

The shuffle-bag entry to the outdoor shower fires unconditionally on pick 5, but the “Step into his stall” choice INSIDE the event requires Fem 30. Below that threshold the only option is the solo branch (Arousal +4, -1 Shame).

Drink doesn't tick time

Resort_PoolDeck_Drink is #energy:3 #time:0. It’s an Arousal +2 micro-action with no time advance. Useful for stalling between event triggers if you’re trying to land a specific TimeSlot.

Dante Stage 1 cameo doesn't lock the day

PoolEvent_DanteSpot at dante_stage == 1 deliberately doesn’t set dante_stage_met_today, because his line (“I’ll find you at the bar later”) promises the tiki-bar Stage 1 entry choice. Letting the lock fire would break the same-trip consummation.
