EVENS
EVENS: NEW CHARACTERS

Music plays. Instrumental, the tune gentle enough not to disturb peaceful rest. The sudden insistent beep of the Watch is a cutting cacophony across an otherwise sweet lullaby. Upon opening their eyes, new arrivals will quickly discover that something is wrong. The quilt snug across their body is weighty. Crystals glint in a weave of embroidery and cotton shimmers with threads of silver. Dozens of decorative pillows surround the bed. The gauzy curtains of the canopied bed are drawn, obscuring the rest of the room.

Extravagant for a kidnapping. Too extravagent. What’s more, these new guests will find something even stranger than this new diamond-studded suite tucked into bed beside them. Someone else. Who are they, what are they wearing? What happened last night?!

WAKING UP IN … PEACOCK? ▷ New arrivals waking up temporarily assigned suites will find themselves in a unique situation. Instead of the resort’s standard terrycloth robe, they are waking up in wedding clothes. Players may select any article(s) of wedding clothing they would like their character to be dressed in, from the western wedding dress or tux to sexy wedding night lingerie and matching fuzzy boa. The resort pulls influences from across cultures and worlds so there is no limitation on choices.

▷ These temporary rooms are the coveted ACE & JACK RANK SUITES. These junior penthouses are spacious, lavish, and generously stocked with amenities. Not a terrible situation to find oneself in despite waking up with a stranger in a strange place. The problem is that these guests aren't just any pair. Not just any pairs: guests waking up together have been marked in the reservation system as newlywed couples. Reception will correct this mistake in their system by official check in, but for now these new guests are getting VIP treatment thanks to their recent nuptials.

▷ The message sent through the Watch isn't the only congratulations waiting for new arrivals. Temporary suites are outfitted in balloons, streamers, champagne on ice, chocolate covered strawberries, and handsomely wrapped gifts. Players are welcome to customize the extent of their honeymoon welcome.


WELCOMING THE NEW COUPLE Never let it be said that guest services at the Golden Peacock are lacking. In the whirlwind of waking up in a luxury resort, new guests will find that the staff have arranged for them a variety of delights. There are no notes explaining why they have been kidnapped or any signs of their missing items. Instead, they may find:

THE RINGS: A glittering pair of wedding bands. Guests waking up together will find matching rings either on their ring finger or in small velvet boxes on one of the tables. The wedding rings possess a temporary charm. Wearers will be able to share their emotions with their pair through a bond. This is a temporary charm that will fade over a few hours. When the charm is gone these rings will only be expensive jewelry.

THE PRESENTS: A pile of wrapped boxes that have been left for the happy couple. Every item inside is meant to help facilitate a kink. Players are encouraged to make up whatever they would like their characters find in these boxes.

THE BREAKFAST SPREAD: A small breakfast spread for two laid out in the main sitting area of the massive suite. All of the dishes in the breakfast spread are finger foods. Players are welcome to make up their own sensual spread. With the VIP treatment in place no meal request is too large.


FELLOW NEWLYWEDSMain elevator hubs of the junior penthouse floors have been transformed into wedding lounges. The typical gold lobbies are now crisp white and studded with an array of tufted couches, furry rugs, draped silks, and sparkling balloons scripted to the tune of HAPPY WEDDING, LOVE, and HONEYMOON TIME. Tables feature complimentary mimosas.

Each wedding lounge has several racks of clothing available for new arrivals select from without charge. Unlike the previous batch of new arrivals, these new guests will find that their complimentary finery are articles of high quality fabrics from expensive Golden Peacock brands. Velvet robes are similarly available for guests who may want to sit back and relax with a glass of bubbly in the lounge.

▷ New arrivals that decide to gather in the lounge may end up prey to eager staff. These employees will encourage them to talk to other guests. Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you can’t start filling your 52 deck right away! Some staff members may even give pairs a wink and a nudge toward one of the empty junior penthouse suites. They won’t tell your spouses where you are if you want to go have a little fun.

Guests are encouraged to explore the resort from here! There are paper maps available for those who would like and staff are happy to recommend locations if they have any preferences. Enjoy your honeymoon, you lovebirds!
ODDS
ODDS: SPECIAL RE-ARRIVAL
Never trust a hallway in the Golden peacock.

Cross the wrong threshold and time begins to slow. A short hallway becomes long, sheds its doors, only leading to turns without end. Guests too eager to explore the resort have gotten lost before. For how long always varies, dependent upon capriciousness of the resort. Hours? Yes. Years? Yes. Every guest caught in the winding hallways has reported the same thing: time is different there and too difficult to discern.

Some wayward guests have been caught in the endless hallways since the FIRST TDM. Weeks pass before a single doorway appears in the distance. It creaks upon opening before everything goes topsy-turvy. These guests have been let out of a trap door in the depths of Crane's Respite.

FROM THE ENDLESS HALLWAYS TO... BREEDING GROUNDS? ▷ Re-arrivals will be splashing down into the depths of Crane's Respite. It is dim, with the occasional lantern offering faint glow to keep guests from being completely in the dark. The waters are black and the walls are cragged, reminiscent of the mouth of a real cave.

▷ The labyrinth is more challenging down here. There are too many corridors that lead to pockets and alcoves. These watery tunnels are eerily quiet; guests dropped in from the endless hallways will only hear the splashing of other guests.

▷ The water is cold and salty, unlike the usual comfortable baths in the spa. Guests may find cut outs in the stone with folded towels. These towels are dusty and stained, not having been replaced for quite some time. There are sporadic ledges for guests to huddle on if they wish to get out of the water.

▷ Guests are not alone. Shapes dart beneath black water. They tangle with each other in voracious excitement until they notice there are others. An ominous tentacle surfaces, reaching out...


ABOUT THE OCTOPI ▷ Juvenile octopi are the size of a hand or smaller. These juveniles are friendly and affectionate; guests may find that these new friends will help guide them toward the upper levels of the spa. They like to adorably attach to guests, but some guests may have an allergic reaction to these small octopi. A flush of heart shaped marks may break out across a character's skin and cause intense itchiness. While rubbing against the walls can help ease the irritation, guests will find that the most relief comes when they rub against someone else. Rashes are mild and will recede quickly with enough rubbing on someone else.

▷ Mature octopi are aggressively mating. Catching sight of frisky octopus sex is imminent. Quick motion is liable to draw the attention of these sex-fueled cephalopod. Guests may find themselves chased by dozens of amorous tentacles.

▷ Mature octopi are free lovers and will try to snag two or more guests at once for some sweet lovemaking via tentacles and suction cups. These octopi also secrete a stimulant that triggers arousal and/or heightened sensitivity in genitals. Guests who manage to get free from their would-be lovers may still find themselves experiencing physical effects of the DIAMONDS SUIT.

▷ The old-timer octopi are relaxing in the shallow areas of the tunnels and watching the youth have their fun. Ho ho ho, to be young and horny!


OTHER SECRETS OF THE DEEPFLUORESCENT MUSHROOMS: Fluorescent mushrooms grow along the bottom crease of the deeper tunnels. If eaten, guests will find their stomachs are growling in confusion before they break out into scales. Players may give their character any level of aquatic traits they would like. The water magic of the mushroom will fade in an hour.

THE UNDERWATER CAVE: A cave deep beneath the water, accessed through a narrow hole. Seaweed coats the ground like grass and aquatic flora blooms in a shock of vivid color. Guests may discover that when in this cave they can breathe underwater. There are numerous soft underwater beds made of algae and moss as well as numerous shiny objects left discarded.

MINERAL FORMATIONS: In the deepest and coldest reaches of the water guests may catch an unexpected sparkle. Strange but beautiful mineral formations can be found along the wall and floor underwater. These minerals are not easy to break off alone, but with good effort or teamwork, guests may break some off to keep. These minerals can be used for trading and other deals in the resort. They are highly sought after materials. But guests should be careful — the octopi are possessive of their shiny treasure and will chase anyone trying to steal from their trove.

All water corridors will eventually lead back to the populated areas of Crane's Respite. The waters are warm, the scent of bath salts returns, and staff are wild with joy at finally finding all of you. They have been beside themselves searching ever since you vanished!
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
Because we love all of the new characters premiering on this TDM, we kindly request that our Evens prompt be top level exclusive for new characters. Current characters are encouraged to tag in to these prompts with the caveat that they’ve been picked up from their assigned suite (or wherever else they were before) and dumped into the new arrival’s bed. We would like for new characters to have this prompt unique to their top level comments!

▶ Players are welcome to have their current character riff off of these prompts in the log community with the exclusion of the new arrival element. This request is just for TDM top levels.

▶ Current characters and new characters are both welcome to freely mess around with the Odds prompt with the exclusion of the arrival element. For new characters, players may participate with the idea that their character is exploring Crane’s Respite after their unique arrival in the Evens prompt. The Odds arrival element may also be utilized by current player characters who may have been on an unofficial hiatus in January and did not tag as much as they would have liked, to explain any long IC absence.

▶ Octopi may be killed. If a character decides to eat one of the octopi they may find themselves taking on some of its traits. Which traits are up to player discretion.



ELEVATORS
ELEVATORS

The house has recently ordered a full changeout of art in all high traffic areas. The elevators in particular have received special attention with many different famous artworks and portraits studded to the walls for guests to admire. These artworks are treasures of the modern world that one would typically see behind glass at a museum. Guests may even find works from their own world hanging in the elevators. Even famous works that maybe have been lost to time. So this is where they ended up. Is that Vermeer's The Concert?

Guests may find their elevator suddenly stopping without warning. The portraits on the wall stir, curiously studying them, but there are three main portraits calling the shots. The portrait that controls that particular elevator will make their demands known with the threat that, if they are not obeyed, you will be trapped forever.

THE JUDGMENTAL JOHN "Sinners dare step into my elevator? Don't think you can leave without confessing your crimes! Those who have trampled upon virtue should be heavily punished. And I ... I will observe this punishment be dispensed. To see it is done right. Ahem."

The Judgmental John will demand that guests trapped in his elevator confess one of their sins, crimes, or sources of guilt. Each guest will be prompted to confess once and then they together must decide whose crime is worse. The Judgmental John will then preside over the executioner (the guest with the lesser crime) punishing the guest with the worser crime.

▷ While Judgmental John has perverted intentions with his demand and will encourage sexy punishing, he will reluctantly accept any kind of punishment the executioner decides to dole out.

▷ Judgmental John will manifest any item(s) at the executioner's request.

JUDGMENTAL JOHN'S FAVORITE PUNISHMENTS: Asphyxiation; Biting; Blackmail; Blindfolds; Bloodplay; Crying; Dominance/Submission; Edging; Gags; Handcuffs; Humiliation; Orgasm Control/Denial; Petplay; Sadism/Masochism; Scratching; Spanking; Slapping; Training

THE HARD-UP MAIDEN "I was painted before my subject broke her maidenhead. I am forever a virgin in this cursed portrait! If I cannot indulge in pleasures of the flesh, I may as well watch. Share with me the sexual delight you can so freely enjoy whenever you please. Have a heart, a girl has needs."

The Hard-Up Maiden wants to see graphic sex. The more hardcore the better. She craves intensity so that she can live vicariously through the guests in her elevator. As a ghost that can never experience it herself there isn't much more she can have.

▷ She will not budge her elevator until she sees something hot, sweaty and steamy between the two (or more) guests she's caught.

▷ The Hard-Up Maiden may randomly manifest items relating to her favorite kinks to encourage guests to head in that direction.

HARD-UP MAIDEN'S FAVORITE KINKS: Anal Sex; Begging; Bondage; Breeding; Creampie; Cumplay; Facesitting; Femdom; Flexibility; Heat/Rut; Motorboating; Oral Sex; Pegging; Power Bottoms; Rough Sex; Throatfucking; Vaginal Sex

THE TEASING TRIO "Aren't you two cute? Show us some flirting, give us a treat! We'll let you go after you entertain us a bit. What do we like? Anything cute, anything sweet. It gets so boring in here. Imagine watching everyone do nothing but stand before leaving. Don't we deserve some fun?"

▷ The Teasing Trio are the most flexible of the paintings. They want to see cute or lightly spicy engagement between the guests they've trapped in their elevator. They know how to have a good time and aren't taking this trapping thing too seriously.

▷ The Teasing Trio are happy to manifest any items to help guests get into the spirit of cute and sweet. They will take requests but may also toss in their own suggested items.

TEASING TRIO'S FAVORITE CUTES: Body Worship; Confessions; Clothed Sex; Drama; Emotional; Fingering; Frotting; Grinding; Kissing; Hand Holding; Missionary; Roleplay; Romance; Teasing

Elevators will function after the portrait's demands are met. Guests that hold out and refuse may find themselves trapped upwards of twelve hours. Guests with the ability to do so may crawl out of the top emergency door, free to go wherever they want from there.
GREAT TIT!
GREAT TIT!
Great Tit! is the Golden Peacock’s popular dessert bar and cafe. With its bright pops of color and whimsical treats, guests simply can’t resist stopping in for a butt shaped cookie and hazelnut coffee. After catching wind that the resort has decided to celebrate a dessert shop's most lucrative holiday, Great Tit! is ready to impress the masses. Advertisements for limited edition drinks and desserts rain the main lobby; one can’t go three steps without slipping on a neon pink coupon for 10 percent off nipple buns. Guests that decide to pass by the cafe will find themselves assaulted with confetti cannons and eager employees ushering them inside.

LIMITED EDITION: CHOCOLATE BOXES ▷ It isn’t every year that they celebrate Valentine’s Day in the Golden Peacock. In light of the rush of new guests checking in to the resort, Alessandro, the resort’s premier chocolatier, has decided to release his extremely coveted truffles in limited number. These truffles are boxed with the utmost attention to aesthetic and consideration for each tender morsel. There are numerous romantic designs available.

Guests heading over to Great Tit! during release windows will find the confectionery mobbed. Fights break out, with some long-standing guests aggressively trying to get their hands on one of the legendary Alessandro’s truffle boxes. These NPC guests may grab and shove at their fellow guests to get through the crowd. If one wants to get their hands on a coveted box for their sweetheart they’ll have to roll up their sleeves and get ready to fight dirty.

Guests who manage to secure some of the limited edition truffles will find that each bite tastes like heaven itself. The rumors of Alessandro’s talent are not exaggerated. Unlike many of the delicacies in the resort he does not rely on any kind of aphrodisiac or stimulant to send the consumer into throes of euphoria. It’s all skill, baby.

▷ Guests may want to try to grab a box for their sweetheart or someone who's caught their eye. All of the eye searing advertisements for the limited edition run of Alessandro’s truffles swear that it is a must to gift a box of chocolates to someone you are interested in courting or playing 52 with. What better way than to seduce the object of your affections than to give them the most delicious truffles in the resort?


THE CHALLENGE: LICKED CREAM ▷ Great Tit! is hosting a game that only the most stalwart competitors can win. Dozens of bowls of whipped cream have been supplied for The Licked Cream Challenge. Always enticed by the new and novel in the resort, guests are lining up out the door to get in on the action.

▷ Guests who join the competition will face what may be their toughest challenge yet: A Complete Lickdown. One of the game managers will slather one guest head to toe in whipped cream. Their game partner must lick all of the whipped cream from their body within ten minutes to win the medium payout prize and two boxes of Alessandro’s coveted chocolates. The guest originally covered in whipped cream must be licked spotless in order for them to win.

▷ There is no penalty for guests that do not manage to beat the challenge. It’s all in good fun!


THE HALL: CHOCOLATE DELIGHT Riding the wave of demand for more chocolate from patrons, Great Tit! has opened a limited time chocolate adventure to keep the excitement going. There is a small fee to enter the Hall of Chocolate Delight, but those who do decide to pay up will not be disappointed. Especially if they have a sweet tooth. Nearly everything inside the hall is made of chocolate: cakes; cookies; pastries; furniture; clothing; and much more! Players are encouraged to make up and design their own chocolate delights. There are three main attraction hubs within the exhibit:

HOT FUDGE TUB: A hot tub with fudge. Fudge is kept at a comfortable temperature so as not to scald while keeping the chocolate from solidifying. With eight jet streams and an assortment of fudge toppings to throw into the tub, this is the spot for a dessert lover to relax. There is a sign that asks, PLEASE DO NOT DRINK HOT TUB FUDGE, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. Many of the NPC guests can be found sneakily sticking their heads in and guzzling the hot tub fudge.

PUDDING RING: A wrestling ring filled with pudding. The pudding ring is where guests feeling frisky can wrestle in a shallow vat of pudding for some messy, slippery fun. Winners of their wrestling match will be given a discount coupon for use in Great Tit! at a later date. Guests are encouraged to go nude, but there are some saucy outfits made out of hard candies available to wear if they'd like to cover up a bit. Guests are encouraged to eat the candy outfits off of each other.

CAKE TRAMPOLINE: A bouncy chocolate cheesecake the size of a massive trampoline. Guests may also eat from the cake while bouncing if they would like. Due to the large number of guests eager to play 52 on the bouncy cheesecake, these cake trampolines are replaced quite often. While the cheesecake is the most popular option due to its jiggly qualities, there are other large cake beds to enjoy.

Guests will find a temporary communal shower room upon exiting Great Tit! where they can wash off after a fun day of rolling around in sugar. All guests will be gifted a tee branded with a, CHOCOLATE IS MY LOVER logo.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ This portraits prompt has been triggered by several characters expressing interest in and investigating the lore of the resort paintings. This is just dipping a beginning toe in, but congrats to all for poking around!

▶ Portraits in the elevator should not be destroyed, purely for continuity’s sake. If a character would go far enough to attack one of the portraits, the portrait will slap them back with ghostly power.

▶ Characters may also figure other ways out of the elevator if they have specific abilities to do so. While the portraits can control the elevators, they cannot control your character(s). Any destruction to the elevator itself is liable to result in a rush of security dragging the culprit(s) away to the Iron Net.

▶ Great Tit! is running a massive sale! Even characters who are on the broke end of the spectrum will be able to afford to join in on the fun and indulge in sugar at these prices.

▶ Players are encouraged to make up any other elements for the Hall of Chocolate. If it’s a dessert and edible, it’s there. Enjoy your sugar coma!

▶ While the chocolate boxes are ICly limited due to Alessandro’s skills as a chocolatier, this is only an IC mechanic. There is no OOC limitation on this prompt as far as chocolate rarity goes.



THE NEST
ALICE AND THE PARROTS
Fashion boutiques are a dime a dozen in the Nest. The shopping hub is massive, lined with stores all trying to aggressively appeal to guests. A challenge in itself — but the guests of the Golden Peacock are no ordinary people. Used to being pampered and fed excitement, if these boutiques don’t bust their bottoms to appeal to the fickle nature of their patrons, they won’t be in business for much longer! One particular boutique, Alice and the Parrots, is riding winds of romantic thrill and churning out a couple of brand new fashion lines sure to draw in loads of chips.

FASHION LINE: ADORABLE AND SEXY Alice and the Parrots, one of the Golden Peacock’s frilly fashion boutiques, is coming out hot with a new line of clothing with the tagline, Adorable and Sexy. Guests will find fliers for their new line’s launch around the resort during February.

FRILLY DRESSES: Feminine flair lovers are in for a treat! An ode to the famous lolita style, this collection includes several collections big on lace and frills. Dresses have a range of unique prints that guests have been going crazy over buying because these prints are limited time only. The line includes matching accessories to create a fully adorable and sexy look that will drive suitors wild.
CHARMING HABERDASHERIES: Masculine looks haven’t been forgotten. The line includes charming suspenders, velvet suits with cute prints, colorful bowties, dashing footwear, and more. Guests looking to strike a perfect balance between handsome and adorable have found their place.
SENSUAL SWEATERS: A large part of the collection includes knit sweaters with teasing cutouts. By far the most popular, the eponymous Virgin Killer Sweater has been reimagined in buttery yarns and given an overhaul of new designs so that virgins may be slain in even more ways.
FLIRTATIOUS HOSIERY: What are sexy outfits without hosiery? Stockings and socks have been given their own section, paired with shelves of garter belts that promise to tantalize. The collection includes undershirts for more muscular guests made of delicate materials, like lace and silk, offering feminine touch for the beefiest babes.
APPEALING INTIMATES: An Adorable and Sexy line would be nothing without its intimates. Panties and bras are available in a full range of color and styles. Lingerie has been reimagined in a variety of sensual fabrics. Men’s boxers have been included and given the adorable treatment with silk options that gently cradle even the heaviest balls.


COSTUME LINE: EROTIC ENCOUNTERS Alice and the Parrots isn’t done yet. Along with their fashion collection, the boutique has designed and released a line of romantic costumes to help guests get into the Game 52 spirit. The quality of these costumes is quite high; they feel as comfortable as normal clothes. None of that itchy synthetic material for this store.

Guests will discover a selection of costumes inside the store. All costumes part of the Erotic Encounters have been designed with sex appeal in mind. Players are welcome to have their characters find sexy costumes ranging from the classic french maid and nurse to more obscure options, like sexy plumber and sexy exhausted but doing her best single mother. Alice and the Parrots has considerately made their collection broad to accommodate all tastes.

▷ Some of these outfits are completely ordinary costumes. Others have been possessed by a strong sense of purpose. Costumes possessed by purpose may compel their wearers to act out their roles. For example, a sexy french maid might be compelled to attractively clean a partner’s suite or a sexy nurse may be compelled to practice some medical love. The strength of the compulsion is completely up to player discretion. It can range from a fleeting impulse to an all-encompassing craving. Whatever you decide!

▷ Once their sense of purpose has been achieved any possessed costumes will be satisfied and freed of the curse. They will return to being ordinary clothes.


WEDDING LINE: SPECIAL MOMENTS Did you think they'd be done after two collections? No!! Alice and the Parrots intends to completely knock out the competition. They will be the most beloved small fashion boutique, so help them.

▷ The full back wall of Alice and the Parrots is dedicated to their wedding collection, Special Moments. Guests will find a variety of outfits traditionally worn at weddings. While the bride and groom looks are given the spotlight there are also outfits geared toward bridesmaids, groomsmen, wedding guests, officiants, and so on. Guests will also find flower bouquets, hair pins, veils, and accessories.

Some of the wedding clothes have likewise been possessed by a strong sense of purpose. Possessed wedding clothes will compel their wearers to act out their roles. Anyone who decides to try on a bridal gown may be overcome with the desire to find their groom/bride. They may be overwhelmed by the urge to sprint straight to the chapel. They may even experience the classic cold feet and go running to the bar to drink away their wedding woes. Players are encouraged to have fun playing out whatever wedding stereotypes and tropes they would like.

▷ Once their sense of purpose has been achieved any possessed wedding clothes will be satisfied and freed of their curse.

Guests are welcome to try on clothes in Alice and the Parrots' dressing rooms. These dressing rooms are small and can only accommodate two people sharing at a time. Such is the life of a small boutique store. Sharing is no big deal, right? And there’s no way you can buy clothing this expensive without giving it a test first.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ Players are encouraged to make up whatever cute outfits they would like for this prompt.

▶ Wedding clothes do not have to be cute and frilly; this section accommodates tastes of everyone.

▶ Alice and the Parrots is more expensive than Love Dove. Their clothing quality is excellent but their price tags are high. Staff may watch low ranks extra diligently to cut off any stealing. Thieves will be chased by NPC security! Anyone caught gets a day in the Iron Net.



CASINO CHAPEL
CASINO FLOOR
A Pop up Chapel has appeared in the Phoenix Casino. Guests are delighting in playing out weddings and pretending to get married — and a few guests are even tying the knot for real. They aren't worried about the sanctity of marriage; they can divorce tomorrow if they get bored of each other. And everyone knows that getting married doesn't mean you can't fuck whoever you want!

Since the resort isn't keeping track of how many marriages a guest has, all guests are encouraged to marry as many people as they would like. The more the merrier!

THE PHOENIX CHAPELTHE ALTAR: A cheesy altar with some garishly bright fabrics thrown across it. In actuality, a table that staff dressed up to look like an altar, surrounded by flowers, a wedding arch, and rows of pews for guests. Every inch the traditional Vegas chapel setup minus the Elvis impersonator; if you want Birdvis, he's on standby.

THE CONFESSIONAL: A slim booth with enough room to seat two guests. Rich with the scent of incense and sandalwood. Locks from the inside. None of the long-standing guests know what the confessional is actually meant for, so they've been using it as a photobooth to get good scenic snaps with their Watches.

THE COAT CLOSET: All of these guests have all of these coats that need a place to stay while they party the nights away. A secluded spot with racks of coats that makes a clandestine spot to find some privacy in the middle of the festivities. Guests may find miscellaneous baubles and candies in the pockets if they decide to rifle through pockets.

THE BRIDAL SUITE: A private room for guests to relax in. Themed with the traditional wedding night in mind. Guests will find this room splashed in shades of red. Decorated with a massive canopied bed, scattered rose petals, lit candles, and mood music.


WEDDING SLOT MACHINES (CR BUILDING): EASY ▷ Limited time wedding slot machines have been installed around the chapel. Guests that decide to play are directed to pull the arm and see what matchup of directions they've been assigned. The challenge will be sent to their Watch to complete. If they manage to complete their challenge on the easy level slots they will be rewarded with a medium payout.

▷ Players may either use RNG for the below prompts or select any combination they like OOCly. ICly, it's all random.

▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's February event.
▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Please make sure to review the arrival prompt notes! Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.
▶ The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are priority and receive attention!

aerith gainsborough (ffvii remake)

[personal profile] floresco 2024-02-10 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
– i. arrival, evens
[ Stirring beneath the fluffy weight of light pink tulle, Aerith cracks one eye open at the sound of the device around her wrist buzzing for her attention - the message waiting to be read is as inexplicable as the giant skirt she’s buried underneath and the sound of strange breathing beside her.

Her arm lowers, slowly pushing the fabric she’s ensconced in aside so that she can peer out and catch a glimpse of the person beside her.

Interesting.

Whoever they are, they’re still konked out, so Aerith takes great pains to be as careful and quiet as she can, climbing out of the bed while battling her massive skirt, deciding that it’s probably for the best to put space between her and the person the message she received implies she married, considering they’re all but bound to have an awkward conversation once they wake.

Poofy skirt tamed down, revealing the form-fitting tuxedo printed t-shirt she’s got on as a top, Aerith crosses the suite with limited rustling, pausing once she catches sight of the breakfast spread.

Strange circumstances or no - the lure of the mini quiche is enduring and whenever her new spouse decides to come to and join her, they’ll find her posted up by the breakfast, mimosa in one hand, tiny quiche in the other, which she’ll wave in greeting.
]

Hi! I don’t remember how we got here, but the food’s pretty good!

– ii. the teasing trio
But I’m already cute!

[ Aerith counters once the trio in the painting lay out their demands.

Unfortunately logic never got an elevator to start running again, magic paintings or otherwise, and even though she feels her point is incredibly valid, the ladies in the portrait respond in tittering laughter, all too pleased as they point out that they want to see her being cute with the other person stuck in this car with her.

Obstinately pointing out that the person she’s with is cute too doesn’t get her far, and once it seems like the painting is done offering its course correction she huffs, hands going to her hips as she looks at her traveling companion for this elevator right.
]

Well…[ Her head tilts to the side, as though she’s weighing it all out. ] What do you think?

– iii. great tit!
[ It’s a cake.

It’s a cake big enough for more than one person to lay on, outfitted with dollops of cream, sparkling confectionary glitter, and mountains of tempting-looking red berries.

So of course she’s going to sprawl out and have a snack while the more lively of the cake enjoyers bounce around elsewhere on the big chocolate cheesecake. It gives her time to get her bearings, still swathed in soft pink tulle, a hunk of cake in her hand that she takes bites out of after dipping it in the nearest peak of cream.

In her lap is a coupon for nipple buns, which she looks over with tentative curiosity, waiting until someone’s close enough before speaking up.
]

Do you think they’re buns for your nipples, or buns made out of nipples? Or do they just look like nipples?

[ Tifa had spotted Aerith down near the bakery. It didn't matter that they'd only known each other a short time back at home; Aerith was her friend, and she wasn't letting this place get the better of her. Nami had done that for Tifa, and Tifa was doing it for Aerith now.

So she'd beelined toward the other and immediately swept her to the elevators so they could talk in her room before anything weird happened. It seemed like the elevators had other thoughts.

Aerith turns that bright, innocent look at her, and she knows her face is betraying her actual feelings. No smiles here, just a pained look as she tucks her hair behind her ear, vaguely wondering if she's making Tifa uncomfortable dressed like a Turk like this. It wasn't her choice, either, but that didn't feel like the right place to start.
]

I think...you haven't been here very long. This place likes to, uhm, make people...get off before it lets them go. And we're trapped in a box right now.

[personal profile] floresco 2024-02-10 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The complete and thorough sense of relief that sweeps over Aerith like the coziest blanket of them all from having spotted Tifa deteriorates in short order once the elevator car they're in stops and the painting throws down what she's starting to imagine is a very tawdry gauntlet.

Her arms loop around one of Tifa's, taking a step closer to her as she frowns at the painting while her friend does what she can to clearly and honestly drive the point home. They are indeed tapped in a box right now, and Tifa's not wrong about how she's new and wholly unaware of the way the casino's laid out like a horny obstacle course.
]

Well, I still think that painting needs its eyesight checked if it's going to look at you and say we're not doing enough cute stuff.

[ By her metric, it doesn't get much cuter than Tifa. The compliment earns an approving coo from the trio in the painting, a sound that unconsciously encourages Aerith to take another little step closer to Tifa's side. ]

So we...hm. [ Tifa had been so plain-spoken about it. They would have to get off together, simple as that, and while when it's laid out like that, it should be the most practical move in the world - she needs a minute.

Aerith loosens one arm, bringing her hand up to her chin, humming briefly before giving a decisive nod to no one in particular. She's no expert, and the horny painting is a little bit of a mood-killer but, it's Tifa. Aerith would be lying if she said she'd never considered it before.
] Well, how do you want me, Tifa?
sonicstriker: @tomwaits (Default)

[personal profile] sonicstriker 2024-02-12 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ She really has gotten better about blushing since getting here, she swears, but that's all out the window with Aerith's arm wrapped around her and insisting to their unknown assailant that Tifa is cute. She had been trying not to think about home, but her experiences here had made it abundantly clear that she, in fact, had an enormous crush on Aerith.

Which feels really inappropriate right now.

So when Aerith steps back, she's a little relieved. And when she asks that bluntly, she nearly chokes on her own tongue.
]

I, uhm, have you...done this before?

I hope they are buns that only look like nipples. Sourcing that many nipples to make buns with would be a logistical nightmare.

[Jin Guangyao automatically responded without recognition before he realized who was talking to.]

Excuse me miss, I'm going to ask a strange question, but do you happen to be Aerith Gainsboro?

[Or at least another version of her. He had met others who were in the prison with no memory of their time there, like Loki, but it was still good to see a familiar face.]

[ Sourcing that many nipples for buns would just be gross, but she'd rather not think about that while sitting on a giant cake she's currently trying to nibble her way through.

The question about her name gets a surprised look from her, and she lowers the hunk of cake in her hand, cocking her head at the stranger.

[Setting aside all the other garden-variety (pun intended) batshittery that clearly had to go into this abduction, there's one particular piece of it that strikes Rufus as particularly odd, as he props himself up on his elbows in bed and frowns at the unfamiliar clasp of metal surrounding one of his fingers:

The fact that he actually knows his apparent intended, despite last catching glimpse of her fleeing the seventieth story of his fath— of his company. Well. That's one way of securing the assets, he supposes.]


You're eating what they've provided? It's likely drugged.

[Not that he really minds that much, because you know what a great way of seeing if something is drugged is? Letting someone else eat it and watching them.]

...You're the Ancient.

[Tseng's Ancient, he thinks to himself, not that he's going to say that much aloud.]

[ The food might be drugged - but considering this helpful tidbit is coming to her by way of one Rufus Shinra, Aerith's only response is to narrow her eyes and obstinately pop another little quiche in her mouth before pulling the tray they're on closer to her. Sorry, Rufus, mini-quiches are for people who aren't murdering the Planet.

Of all the little nicknames Shinra's come up with her for the years, The Ancient ranks one step below The Asset. At least the latter makes it sound like she's hiding some secretly sick martial arts abilities or something, The Ancient just presses on everything she would very much like to avoid pressing on, especially in a place she doesn't know, especially with the present company.
]

Mrs The Ancient.

[ She replies, the corners of her mouth curving in amusement as she lifts her left hand and wiggles her ring finger. Is this the best predicament in the world? No - but she bets Rufus likes it even less, which makes her want to rub it in even more. ]

that's his wife <3

[ Her elevator companion happens to be tucked in one corner leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, a look of irritation planted on her face. The next time she has to get anywhere, she'll take the stairs. Though based on her limited experience already, that probably wouldn't be enough to save her a headache.

It's not until she's directly addressed that she opens her eyes again, gaze traveling first to the paintings and then to the young woman and then back to the babbling paintings hung up on the side. ]


I think we'll be trapped in here for some time if they're expecting any sort of show out of me.

[ Her voice is low, casual with a small whiff of resignation. It's not that she's unwilling to participate but simply that she's unversed in the art of romance and flirtation. A simple show of violence and strength would be much easier than having to dance around coy words. ]
floresco: (pic#15296447)

[personal profile] floresco 2024-02-11 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's not the best response as far as getting out of here in a hurry goes, but Aerith can empathize. She hasn't been a captive of the casino for long, but she's seen enough to understand how appealing being cool and composed in the face of it like her companion in this elevator seems to be.

With a decisive nod and puff of tulle as her big skirt moves with her, Aerith settles on the floor of the elevator car.
]

I guess we better sit down and get comfortable!

[ Sure, it may mean they'll have to be clever about how they approach getting out of here when the time comes, but all things considered - the elevator is quiet, no staff bustling her around and calling her a newlywed, no people swarming bakeries to fuck on giant cakes. There are worse places to be than stuck here. ]

[ Sylvain is among those who had been pulled in by an overly-eager staff and shoved towards one of the confectionary areas they're highlighting. He'd very studiously avoided the mob around the truffle displays because nope, no thank you. But the sight of a young woman in pink tulle sprawled on a cheesecake is enough to get him to stop with a bemused chuckle, even before she asks her question.

One eyebrow arched, he crosses his arms over his chest with a playful quirk of his lips. ]


Do you want to order some and find out? Hopefully they're not... actually made out of nipples, though. That's a little weird, even for this place.
floresco: (pic#15296468)

[personal profile] floresco 2024-02-11 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we could wait for somebody else to order them? [ She raises her eyebrows hopefully as she asks. ] That way, if they turn out to be made of nipples, we're not stuck with them - or with them stuck to our nipples!

[ Though her tuxedo t-shirt provides a decent enough shield from any wayward nipply buns - a thought Aerith takes some consolation in. Like how she's sat here enjoying this cake, she's taking her respite where she can while adrift in a sea of utter strangeness. ]

Are you a wildcard too?

(Considering how awkward a lot of this place is starting to appear, there's something a little magical about large and baked cake trampolines that bring out a persons inner child. Even Haru can't help but admire the cake, scatterings of glitter twinkling in the light as the young woman passes by. It all looks very delicious and Haru takes a moment to watch others as they jump up and down on a nearby cheesecake, having the best of times from what she can see. She would think about joining them but her attire won't allow for it, her wedding dress accented now with an oversized sweater.

Wait, nipples?

Haru opens her mouth to respond as she thinks about it, pausing before covering it with a small laugh.

I must say that's a difficult question. Perhaps all three?

[ The new arrival looks confused - which, girl, same - but it's hard to be that perplexed while sitting on a delicious cake. Still, she leans over the side of her cake and flips the neon pink coupon around for Haru to get a look at - as though seeing the advert for nipple buns might actually clarify what she's talking about. ]

Sounds...weird. Maybe that's why they needed to make coupons!

[ Pausing to dunk her cake in the frosting arranged artfully beside her, she glances around before smiling at the other young woman. ]

Want some? I was here when they brought this one out, so I know it's fresh.

[ Having seen what people get up to on the cheesecake, Aerith felt it important to point out. ]

[ while the very notion of weddings and chapels and any associated paraphernalia is absolutely a repellent to Reno in every possible way, the allure of spicy games to make him some fat stacks and exchange a few cards easy-peas-like is enough to pull him into its gaudy orbit. he already spends enough time as it is down at the regular casino casually scoping out company for the evening, so why not this? what, like something absolutely crazy is gonna happen?

well, uh. kind of. for awhile everything's going on as usual, the drinks keep coming and Reno makes his rounds, but when a prowl's not enough to get him set for the night, he takes to the slots. the spicy ones, of course (if he has to endure any more of this kissy romancey shit in this fucking place he's gonna scream). and wouldn't you know it, he's pulled the lever once approximately 0.5 seconds ago when Aerith's face appears in his peripheral vision, leaning just close enough to scare the absolute, complete, total, and ever loving shit out of him.

of course, for Reno that just means he flinches a little bit, sliding askew on the stool to angle his body in her direction, his mouth falling open just enough that his lit cigarette tips from his lips and lands in his drink. if we're being honest, it's not the first time he's been jolted out of his wits by a specter of his past mistakes, but it is the first time that specter's been real. she'll pop up sometimes, y'know, like how she would back in the church, sneaky in her bare feet and him sprawled in a pew and absorbed in his phone—boo! and an infectious giggle—but as soon as he turns to look, she's gone.

not now, though. Reno's mouth moves, forming a soundless word (probably "fuck"), but he recovers just in time for his slots to finish rolling:

>Fuck
>Face
>In the bathroom


his gaze darts from the ding-ding-ding of a winning roll (every single one is), back to Aerith. ]


Hey, uh. Good timing.
floresco: (pic#15373612)

me? resigned to hellfire.

[personal profile] floresco 2024-02-11 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Of all the twists of fate.

Well, no - the casino itself is still stranger than seeing Reno in front of a slot machine, looking as at home as she imagines he would in a place like this. There's a complicated bent to the way her chest twists at the sight of him, an ache she's familiar with, tied inextricably up with all the years she's spent having him as her shadow - for better or for inherently menacing, sharpened by the bitterness she'll work hard to rise above in the days to come, born as the plate dropped on Sector 7.

The Turks like to act like they're cut-and-dry killers, but Aerith knows the truth - take away the directives and let them stand in her garden for a few hours while she weeds and chatters, and it becomes clear as day - they're messy. Some less so than others, but she's spent years looking at them, learning how to see them, and while some remain tougher nuts to crack than others - Reno is Reno. She can be furious and relieved to see him, she can be just as messy.

She saunters up to him without thinking about it, hands clasping behind her back as she leans her way into his space, verdant eyes darting from the crescent-shaped tattoo sitting high on his cheekbone to the rest of his face - the slot machine he's pulling on can wait for now.

Reno's response is exactly what she hoped for, but her sense of triumph is short-lived as his remark about her good timing makes her look towards the machine, her eyes widening at the results.
]

The bathroom? [ Because she doesn't believe he's serious, she feels comfortable running with this, enjoying the familiarity that comes with giving him shit. ] I guess it's lucky you left your goggles at home Reno! They would probably get in the way.

For what it's worth, I think you're very cute and should absolutely meet the qualifications.

[ not that there was ever any question in sanji's mind about that the moment he stepped into this elevator with the adorable woman standing at the other end of it. but despite the charming smile that he'd given her when he'd walked through the doors, he hadn't had the chance to say much else once the paintings decided they'd rather steal his chance to slip out any of his best lines.

there are probably worse predicaments to get into than getting stuck on an elevator with someone who looks like her, which would have him in no rush at all to find a proper exit from this scenario, but since she seems pensive in trying to come with a plan, he decides to press his lips together with a thoughtful hum. ]


Well. [ well. ] They wanted cute, right? [ there are plenty of things he could do, plenty of sweet that leans into the sultry side and he could take a chance in offering those now.

but with sanji, it's his gentlemanly ways that always take the forefront, and when he steps closer to the woman, he pauses once the distance is shortened, giving a slight bow as he looks up at her, holding out his hand in offering. ]
Then would you grant me the honor of dancing with me, miss?
floresco: (pic#15482447)

[personal profile] floresco 2024-02-11 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Very cute.

[ Does she mean the offer, him, or is she just repeating his words?

The gentle but decisive way her hand settles on the one he offers her heavily implies this may be an all of the above situation. At least the paintings approve, an amused titter of laughter sounding up from the troublesome canvas behind them, a sound Aerith ignores in favor of continuing to look up at him intently, the passive smile on her face deepening some.
]

I hope you're a good dancer. This is a little elevator, and this skirt is enormous.

[ She hopes he's a good dancer, full stop. For no other reason than to add another detail to the picture she's already forming in her imagination of the blond coming to her rescue. ]

What's your name? [ Aerith perks up after she asks, her eyes narrowing shrewdly, barely keeping the smile on her face from spreading into a cheeky grin. ] Wait, can I try to guess?

[ there's something appreciably familiar about stepping into an elevator and coming face to face with aerith in all her pink-ribboned glory, the air around her faintly scented like the flowers she spends so much time growing. familiar, and also a relief, because it means that aerith had survived the last time tseng had seen her, in flight from the shinra tower hot on cloud strife's heels.

the surprise and relief shows on tseng's face in the fractional widening of his eyes and the faintest lift at the corners of his mouth—no dramatics from him. ]


They don't seem convinced. [ whether or not he agrees that aerith is already cute is... beside the point! what matters is what they think, evidently, and judging by the expectant looks on the faces in the painting, aerith's pleas had fallen on entirely deaf ears.

tseng glances at the painting, then back at aerith, then back at the painting. having conversations with pieces of art is, admittedly, not a line on his resume. ]
What would you like to see?

[ kiss her! one of them squeals, while another says, put your hands on her! (tseng shouldn't have asked.) he looks back at aerith, long-suffering. ]

...There we have it.

[ It almost doesn't register as unusual - Tseng stepping onto the elevator after her like the lean cool specter he's always been, that barely there reaction to seeing her, as predictable and easy to decipher as he tries not to be - she might as well be shopping for something above the plate with him on security detail, hovering by her heels.

But, this isn't that, and even if they were still in Midgar, it couldn't be that anymore, not with what happened in Sector 7, not after he delivered her to Hojo - and it hurts in all the strangest ways, enough that she stays quiet, a light enigmatic smile fixed on her face as she watches Tseng take his turn trying to reason with the paintings.

What they come back with has her crossing her arms over her chest defensively - kiss her indeed - but Tseng undoes all the apprehension that starts to creep in when he turns to her, the weariness he feels at their response gratifying in a way that someone who's spent years making a pest of herself can appreciate.
]

Sounds pretty strange Tseng– [ She starts, airy and light as a feather, the knot of feeling sitting heavy on her chest masked save for the doubt lurking at the corners of her eyes. ] You don't put your hands on me unless you're making me go somewhere - are you sure you'd know what to do now?

[A helpless little smile grows on Scott when the demands are listed. It's not the worst situation he's been stuck in and while he agrees with Aerith's personal assessment about herself, it's apparent enough that her simple acknowledgement isn't going to get them anywhere. Maybe one day, things can easily be solved like that.]

They mentioned anything that's cute or sweet. [Scott starts, his voice a little quiet, maybe something wistful about it.] When I imagine those descriptions, I think of something innocent, such as holding hands.

[Like going out on your first date as a teenager with Jean Grey-- okay, that's a little specific, Summers.]

[ That's - wonderfully wholesome as answers go, and on the heels of all that suggestive smirking the figures in the painting did while explaining their predicament, Aerith can't help but smile at the stranger appreciatively. ]

I think that's very cute! [ She answers brightly, sticking her hand out for him to take without a moment's hesitation. ]

If we weren't stuck in this elevator– [ A pause as she shoots the painting on the other side of the car a light but markedly pointed little look. ] We could go on a walk together, but I think if we tried here we wouldn't get very far.

[ Her hand is soft, the little squeeze she gives him in thanks gentle and sincere. Everything in this casino is coming at her fast, these moments of coming across a kind soul are worth enjoying, if only to keep her going until she manages to wrap her head around exactly what's happening to her. ] Does this happen a lot?

aerith sure is taking a lot of elevators today!

I don't think they're buying it, [ steve says, amused despite himself, after his elevator companion tries to insist that he's cute and should count too. look, steve rogers is a lot of things, some form of attractive easily being one of them, but he's just not cute. that ship sailed in 1943 and he waved goodbye to it happily as it left the harbor. ]

I don't have a lot of practice with flirting, [ he admits, and glances upward. as expected, there's an emergency exit in the elevator ceiling. ] I could try, but it might not get us out of here any faster. I could also boost you up instead, [ he points to the exit, indicating what he means, ] if you've got somewhere to be.

Your call. I won't leave you in here alone. [ that's a captain america promise! ]

[ That's her secret, cap: under the luminously green gaze of one Aerith Gainsborough - everyone has the potential to be cute until proven otherwise. And as much as she would like to continue to argue her point at the paintings, the man in the elevator distracts her from the noble pursuit of pestering when first - and very surprisingly given that he is, in fact, quite cute - he admits to being out of practice with flirting, before following that up with an offer of rescue.

The kindness of the gesture isn't lost on her, and while there's not much she'd enjoy more right now than getting out of this elevator it's not like her to leave someone to fend for themselves if she can help it.
]

Okay, deal. I won't leave you alone in here either! [ Aerith gives him a determined nod, smiling when she meets his eye. ] But, I guess that means you're going to have to learn how to flirt, or – I could flirt with you. [ Plot twist - that's already happening. ]
