Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* SexyDiscretionShot: As required, and used by Asayu and Ryan. [[LemonyNarrator With commentary]]. Occurs seven times more: first Yuki and Amaya, Asayu ([[AnythingThatMoves again]]) and Lilith, [[RuleOfThree Asayu]] and Kali, three times between The Prince of Immortals and [[EthicalSlut Shinako]], and with Nadezhda and Peter as well.

* LoveTriangle: Saliha and Xavier begin the thread in a relationship, and while they've called it off, there is still some attraction there. Saliha has also expressed an interest in setting up Qrlil and Xavier, who, while not at present romantically attracted to each other, consider it possible that they ''could'' be. And Qrlil is physically attracted to Saliha.

** There appears to be a case of Type 6 between Virgil, Kali and Asayu, though [[TheCasanova Virgil wishes it was a type 8...]]

Per TRS, this was renamed to Sex Starts Story Stops


* LoopholeAbuse: The "[[ExactWords sexual encounter]]" Asayu promises Virgil in exchange for him leaving her, Rachel, and Christine alone consists entirely of her briefly putting him in MarshmallowHell -- it's an encounter, and it's definitely [[{{Fanservice}} sexual]], but it's not quite [[CoitusEnsues what Virgil had in mind]].

Sometimes it's justified by SeenItAll, but really it's just not worth worrying about.

''Resort'' is a roleplay thread set in the ''Roleplay/CharacterDevelopmentThread'' universe.

Kevin, a mysterious multidimensional millionaire, has opened a new interdimensional resort, and invited guests from across the multiverse to visit.

See [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13194143740A98134800&page=1#1 the intro post]] for a more detailed description.

The thread began in October 2011, and ran for nearly a year before reaching a conclusion in July.
----
!!''Resort'' contains examples of:
* AbortedArc: Various seeds were apparently planted earlier in the thread for a story arc involving the [=NPCs=], but the writers essentially ignored them all in favor of SliceOfLife interactions.
%%* AlienGeometries: Warp doors and {{Hammerspace}} abuses lead to at least a mild version of this.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Well, relatives. Avea isn't exactly proud of Asayu, and proves weary commentary on Asayu's continuing quest to sleep with at least one new partner every night.
%%* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Kali to Lucas, despite the former being [[TimeAbyss much, much older]] than the latter
* ArbitrarySkepticism:
** Qrlil expresses disbelief at Kokabiel's telepathy, despite not being terribly fazed by any of the other supernatural elements not present in her own universe.
** Rachel takes much more interest in the idea of living aliens then anything else she's seen at the Resort, as pointed out by Kat.
* BeachEpisode: Considering there's a beach right next to the resort, this is inevitable. And yes, fanservice abound.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Lucas passes out after having two shots of something equivalent in strength to table beer. Justified in that he was horribly sleep deprived and doesn't take drugs well in general.
* ChickMagnet: Lampshaded by Xavier.
-->Am I sexy or something? There are ''two'' reptilian females here and they're ''both'' attracted to me in some way!
* CultureClash: A predictable result of putting so many characters from different settings in one place, ranging from minor relationship kerfuffles to a couple of lengthy debates.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: The list of eldritch beings the Resort has hosted is long, ranging from remarkably polite to barely sane.
* EldritchLocation: While the Resort itself has hints of it, more than enough to keep any of its residents to keep causing trouble, a more twisted one is [[DiscussedTrope discussed by]] Kokabiel (who is native to such a place), Kat, and Vincent.
%%* EthicalSlut: For reasons beyond the mortal ken, the Resort attracts several: Asayu, Kali, and Shinako. No prizes for guessing what happens when the first two meet.
%%* ExtremeOmnisexual: Kali, and Asayu are explicitly stated to be as such.
* {{Fanservice}}: Unsurprisingly. In addition to more or less every scene involving Asayu and/or Kali, we have the hot springs, Qrlil temporarily donning semi-transparent robes, Ryan wandering around wearing only a shower curtain (and not even that for the whole time) ... the list goes on.
%%* FlashStep: Yuki's technique, known as shundo.
* {{Foil}}: Qrlil to Saliha, or vice versa. Both are nonhuman females with reptilian features and a romantic interest in one of the brothers Sunyo. They also have very similar body language, but both their personalities and their relationships are significantly different.
* ForeignQueasine:
** Avea's stir fried crickets. Though Avea herself regards [[DoesNotLikeSpam cheese]] as this. And Kali's unpronounceable horror-food trumps even all this.
** Xavier states that when chimeras moult, they eat their own leftover skin. He claims it TastesLikeChicken.
%%* GargleBlaster: Makes its return from Cantina.
%%* HamToHamCombat: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13194143740A98134800&page=12#277 here]] by Vincent and Dante.
* HotSpringsEpisode: Eventually subverted when all the pretty men and women ([[TroperDemographics mostly women]]) wander off, leaving only [[GrimReaper Kokabiel and Asariel]] to discuss their jobs.
* IgnoreTheFanservice: Qrlil and Asariel are pretty unfazed by their visit to the hot springs - the former is not all that interested in humans, and the latter is, well, TheGrimReaper. Qrlil made her robes translucent to attract Vincent, and due to his asexuality, he didn't even notice. And even Asayu's [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl peculiarities]] are progressively becoming more and more often ignored or mocked than anything else. Sigmund, being [[SorryImGay disinterested]], takes special pleasure in lampooning her and Kali.
%%* ImmortalImmaturity: [[OddjobGods Kali]], [[HumanoidAbomination Kali]], [[TimeAbyss Kali...]]
%%* InnBetweenTheWorlds
* InnocentCohabitation: Lucas and Kali. [[FriendsWithBenefits Kali is hoping it becomes a little less innocent.]]
* LampshadeHanging:
-->"However..." [Kokabiel] said, briefly counting on his talons to be certain. "I ran some numbers on the individuals here. The statistical probability of a randomly selected male -- or being who takes on a male form -- who has even briefly visited this place having some homosexual interests are approximately one in thirteen -- seven point sixty nine percent. Meanwhile, the probability of a female or female-form entity showing such interests is, unless I miscount four out of twelve: a full third." His '[[{{Telepathy}} voice]]' remaining utterly deadpan, he said, "many [[YuriFan potential]] [[MostWritersAreMale causes]] for this probabilistic discrepancy occur, [[ThisIsReality but none bear taking seriously]]." He paused. No. It was too absurd. So he added, "bah, never mind. [[WithinParameters It's probably just a statistical anomaly due to small sample size]]."
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The conversation between Vincent, Kokabiel, and a few others regarding [[MostWritersAreHuman why so many of the patrons were from some kind of Earth]] veered into this.
* LoopholeAbuse: The "[[ExactWords sexual encounter]]" Asayu promises Virgil in exchange for him leaving her, Rachel, and Christine alone consists entirely of her briefly putting him in MarshmallowHell -- it's an encounter, and it's definitely [[{{Fanservice}} sexual]], but it's not quite [[CoitusEnsues what Virgil had in mind]].
%%* MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover
%%* {{Meido}}
* MomentKiller: Julia is really trying to play matchmaker between Xavier and Qrlil. With terrible results Avea occasionally has to clean up.
* MoodWhiplash: Asayu and Virgil's storyline is a good deal darker then just about everything else, so going from posts dealing with it to lighter plotlines can be a bit jarring.
* MoralityPet: Asayu seems to be becoming this for Virgil. Ironically, Asayu herself, [[AntiHero ostensibly]] the non-evil one, would kill Virgil without hesitation if she could, and consider it a MercyKill.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Asayu's trickery of Virgil backfires hideously when it only makes him more obsessed and dangerous... and her [[BewareTheNiceOnes surprising ruthlessness]] does ''not'' help matters.
* NoodleImplements: [[SexyDiscretionShot Tropical fruits, most notably of all pineapples.]]
* NoEnding: Averted, in a rarity for the [=CDTs=]. Although many characters had dropped out long before, the thread itself did get a proper conclusion, complete with a fireworks display ([[TakeOurWordForIt offscreen]]).
%%* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Lucas to Kali.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Arguably Asayu, ''definitely'' Kali, who wasted absolutely no time getting up close and personal with the Resort-goers.
%%* NotAMorningPerson: Averted, Julia totally is.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted by [[CloudCuckoolander KSPAM!Lilith]] and [[HornyDevils draconiansuperior!Lilith]]
* PardonMyKlingon: The Resort's automatic UniversalTranslator often chooses to leave ''certain'' words in their original language.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Saliha actively [[DefiedTrope defies]] this as far as romantic plotlines go, bringing things out in the open as soon as possible. Lampshaded:
-->'''Qrlil''': You would make an extremely poor human fictional character.
%%* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Virgil seems to get quite a few during his time at the resort.
%%* RidiculouslyHumanRobots
%%* RomanticComedy: Some of the plotlines.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Indirectly discussed between Rachel and Vincent, regarding [[OurDragonsAreDifferent chimera]] casino robbers using magic to bypass security and defend themselves. Unfortunately for them, [[AntiMagic the rules knew how to screw back]].
%%* SeriousBusiness: Kali and Virgil's drinking contest. Full stop.
* SexEqualsLove:
** Xavier and Saliha come to the conclusion that no, it doesn't.
** It definitely doesn't for [[EthicalSlut Asayu and Kali.]]
* SexyDiscretionShot: As required, and used by Asayu and Ryan. [[LemonyNarrator With commentary]]. Occurs seven times more: first Yuki and Amaya, Asayu ([[AnythingThatMoves again]]) and Lilith, [[RuleOfThree Asayu]] and Kali, three times between The Prince of Immortals and [[EthicalSlut Shinako]], and with Nadezhda and Peter as well.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Primarily Asayu, and later the Retriever -- a few others like Kali show no qualms about nudity, but only Asayu walks around stark naked [[ItAmusedMe to laugh at people's reactions]].
* ShowWithinAShow: Qrlil and Vincent are playing a FourX Game Within A Thread.
%%* SliceOfLife: Much of the interaction in the Resort takes this form.
%%* TheTease: Kali and Asayu, although Kali enjoys it a good deal more
* TriangRelations:
** Qrlil, Saliha, and Xavier have a type 11. Saliha and Xavier begin the thread in a relationship, and while they've called it off, there is still some attraction there. Saliha has also expressed an interest in setting up Qrlil and Xavier, who, while not at present romantically attracted to each other, consider it possible that they ''could'' be. And Qrlil is physically attracted to Saliha.
** There appears to be a case of Type 6 between Virgil, Kali and Asayu, though [[TheCasanova Virgil wishes it was a type 8...]]
* UnabashedBMovieFan: Qrlil and Xavier are both B-movie fans, having gone twice now to see episodes of ''Mystery Science Theater 3000''.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Telepathic vultures, LizardFolk, seven-foot-tall bipedal dragons, [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl naked women]], [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Impossible Hair Colors]], [[TheGreys reptilian Greys]], exoskeletal chicken-aliens, gigantic four-armed aliens... and with a few exceptions, people just roll with it. Sometimes it's justified by SeenItAll, but really [[BellisariosMaxim it's just not worth worrying about]].
%%** Actually subverted at one point by Lucas
%%* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[DiscussedTrope Debated by Jean and Samira.]]
%%* VacationEpisode
* SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}: The Retriever was dragged to the Resort from an old-school {{Cyberpunk}} CrapsackWorld. Julia's life is a ChangelingFantasy [[DarkFantasy gone wrong]]. [[GirlsLove Then they meet]].
* WebcomicTime: The first day at the Resort lasted six days in real time. Others went on for much longer.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Several characters have been left hanging in limbo when their authors vanished.
* WhatTheHellHero: Sigmund delivers many of these to Asayu, [[GrayAndGrayMorality despite Sigmund being the]] [[AmbiguouslyEvil "villain"]] [[GrayAndGrayMorality and Asayu the]] [[GoodIsNotNice "hero"]].
* WrongGuyFirst: Vincent and Qrlil discuss whether [[IncompatibleOrientation her crush on him]] was this. They ultimately dismiss the possibility, since [[ThisIsReality real life doesn't work that way.]] [[WrongGenreSavvy Qrlil goes on to hook up with Xavier]], whose relationship with Saliha might also qualify as this.
* YourUniverseOrMine: Xavier and Saliha's relationship from Cantina continues here. Other romantic relationships formed here might also qualify, though so far it's just been Asayu's one-night stands.
