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?!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Wild wedding events will continue all throughout the month of February, until the guests find it's gotten stale. A divorce rush will round out the fun at the end of the month.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ Weddings are not legally binding. Birdvis is not registered as a real officiant, but he does have an excellent beak and pompadour.
▶ Prizes from easy mode slot machines are automatic and do not require mod thumbs up to claim.
▶ Chip prize from difficult mode slot machines is automatic. The special prize is 5 reward points to add to your bank on rewards. Players who wish to claim the special prize should link the finished thread (the kink in question has been completed) under their rewards header with the header, Wedding Slot Machine. If you do any combination of 6/6 (finger hand lol) we ask you somehow make this sexy or involve a climax in order to claim the points.

▶ All new characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. The house is still observing and deciding. As rank and suits are assigned upon acceptance your new character's suit will not manifest until they are accepted into the game.
▶ 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!
▶ If you aren't satisfied with the prompts on this TDM please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort.
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread anyway!
▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.
▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.
▶ Thank you for spending Valentine's Day with us! You're our sweetheart this year. 💕
[Nova has been meandering through the casino hall pretty aimlessly so far. he's definitely feeling overwhelmed, not simply because of what is going on around him, but for more of the idea of it all. is he really safe here? could he finally relax, after years of not relaxing?
the question catches him off-guard. he turns to look at the person who just spoke with a curious expression. the man is tall, whereas Nova, even as an adult, stands at about 166 centimeters. he'd be easy for this person to lift, for sure! he's also in a relaxed wedding dress, since he hasn't been able to change out of it yet. he did kick off the matching pink pumps a while back.
while he is a demon, he has grown accustomed to masking his demonic features, so a normal human will see just another human. for now. if he deems this place safe, maybe he'll stop using his ability]
Uh...?
[a challenge! his Watch beeps but he ignores it in favor of trying to figure out what's going on]
[ Gaku isn't fazed by the confusion, his grin only widening as he bends down low enough so Nova can hop onto his back. ]
It's one of those slot challenges. I figured it was easy enough.
[ This guy looks relatively light and is quite a bit shorter, so giving him a piggy back ride shouldn't be much trouble, even though Gaku has only ever worked out in the name of getting stronger rather than gaining any real significant strength.
He's already mapping out his route, making sure that there's a clear path for him to move around and not bump into someone or accidentally knock his challenge partner off his back. ]
[why would Nova turn down a piggyback from a handsome guy? well, he wouldn't, even if he is still quite unsure about this place. after a moment, he climbs onto the man's back carefully]
What are the slot challenges?
[was he paying attention? no, probably not. there's too much on his mind]
[ It's a bit of effort hauling someone around, but he adjusts easily enough after a few steps. There's no way he can make it more than a lap or two around the dancefloor, though, and he knows that the moment he starts walking.
It'll be a short piggyback ride, but at least his strides are smooth. ]
The wedding slots. They're some special game you can play right now, I guess. You win stuff for completing challenges.
[ He's at least dutifully holding onto Nova for the time being, making sure that he doesn't fall. ]
Neither am I. [ Though he pauses, albeit briefly. ] But I guess I already got married anyway, if the ring on my finger when I woke up was anything to go by.
[ With the way the guests treat marriage so casually, however, he isn't sure that this marriage was all that official. ]
[ He gives it some real, serious thought. Whether or not it counts has been churning around in his mind ever since he woke up, but he has yet to come to any real conclusion. ]
...I don't know. I don't remember getting married, and neither did the person I woke up next to. So, I guess it doesn't really count.
[at least he's thinking about it, as opposed to not thinking about it. after a moment, Nova gives a nod]
It's the same with me, and the person I woke up with. We don't remember meeting, let alone getting married. And, like... I wouldn't get married at all, especially if I've just met someone.
[marriage isn't even on the table for him, for a plethora of reasons]
[ He's finished his lap around the dancefloor, and his Watch notifies him of a challenge successfully completed, so Gaku bends his knees to let Nova hop off of his back. ]
Neither would I. Marriage is a serious commitment, at least to me. It's not something I'd ever do without a lot of thought first.
[ Which is part of the reason why he was so shocked upon waking up—he'd apparently done something that he would never do. ]
[ He crosses his arms too, shifting his weight slightly onto one foot as he looks out at the other guests milling about, celebrating marriages and divorces in tandem. ]
No clue. Maybe it's a joke to some of them, or they see it as something fun to do. If I'm being honest... joke or not, I can't wrap my head around it.
[that response makes the demon grin. he was feeling really unsure about this place, mostly due to circumstances in his own world which are a cause for paranoia. but he has to look at the bright side, also. as long as he is in this casino, wherever it may be, he is probably safe! no one appears to be after him, here]
I can agree with that. [a short beat, then he holds out his hand to shake, if the other man wants] My name's Nova.

iv, happy to see gaku!

Sure?
hehehe i'm glad!!

We'll do a lap around the dancefloor.

Ooh, prizes, huh? I guess I'd better check it out. [a beat] Though... I'm not getting married, despite what the Watch messages said.

Do you think it counts? The ring, I mean.

Exactly! There are a lot of things here that are really confusing to me.
[he crosses his arms, squinting at the slot machines]
Like, are we even supposed to go on thinking we're married? Or is it all just some elaborate joke?
no subject
No clue. Maybe it's a joke to some of them, or they see it as something fun to do. If I'm being honest... joke or not, I can't wrap my head around it.
no subject
[Nova likes this guy, at least. he seems pretty level-headed]
I guess if they want to do it, it's fine. But I'll go on staying unmarried for now. You can still have fun when you're single.
no subject
[ And he's glad for it—Gaku feels a little less out of his depth, knowing that there's someone here who takes all of this a little more seriously. ]
There's a bright side to all of this too, at least. This place is pretty nice, and the people aren't too bad.
no subject
I can agree with that. [a short beat, then he holds out his hand to shake, if the other man wants] My name's Nova.
no subject
Gaku Yaotome. It's nice meeting you, despite the weirdness all around us.
no subject
Yeah... weird circumstances, but it's still a pleasure. [he grins] So, what made you decide to play the slots? Were you just bored?
