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. 💕
[Waking up, your character will find that a young man is cuddled up next to them with his limbs tangled around them. He's a bit of a cuddler!
There is also the lingering smell of burnt wood with a touch of brimstone in the room, not strong enough to suggest a fire but present enough to be noticable. It's sort of like the smell left behind after a candle has been put out.]
EVENS...2!
[Alternatively, instead of a young man, there is a black dragon roughly the size of a great dane curled up on the bed. He has made a nest of the blankets, good luck getting any.]
Watch Shenanigans
[Being from roughly 120 years before smartwatches are invented, Ali is fascinated by them. His eyes are positively sparkling as he figures it out, flipping through the functions and seeing what they do. Anyone nearby will get dragged into a conversation about them:
These things are fantastic! I've never seen anything like them, what are they? I have found a way to send messages, but are there other functions too? What is their purpose?
[He is also randomly texting people, so you might get a message:]
Hello there! Can you read this?
CASINO CHAPEL
[Ali is here in human form, getting a lay of the land and watching all of the festivities. Fortunately something similar to Valentine's Day exists in his world, so he understands the purpose of these festivities. He isn't jumping in and participating, though. He's quite content to watch others have fun, and a fond smile is on his face as he watches a couple get married.]
It's pretty romantic, isn't it?
Wedding Slot Machines (both easy and difficult)
[Ali is over inspecting one of the slot machines with a keen eye.]
These are far more advanced than the ones we have back home. They must work the same though?
[He looks to whoever is nearby, waving them over.]
Will you help me test this?
[It's for Science, help him here.]
((Ali is a shapeshifting dragon. In human form it's really difficult to tell by sight alone, but he smells vaguely of burning wood and brimstone, and his eyes in human form are red. He is a Ye Old at about 900 years old, but he looks to be mid-20s in human form. More info on him can be found here. 18+ for smut please.))
They look like a more advanced version of slot machines.
[Bear in mind, he's from the late 1800s, so even primitive slot machines are very new to him. Which is why he's nerding out about them.]
Assuming it works the same, you pull the lever on the side to get a result. The machine is set up to give certain results every so often. Usually it's a loss, so I wouldn't expect anything on the first spin.
[He'll pull the arm of the easy one first: "DANCE" "SOMEONE OLD" and "IN THE CONFESSIONAL" line up.]
...I'm not sure if this is a win or not.
[His watch also sets off a notification, since that's the assignment he just got.]
[ALi considers this man for a bit. Truthfully pretty much everyone here is going to have a hard time beating him in terms of age, but maybe Zvei is old enough to count? He doesn't look human, not with those ears.]
If you're old enough to only have a general range, that's probably old enough. Let's try it.
[Welp there he go. Ali watches for a moment before sighing and following after him.
The confessional is small and is in no way conducive towards dancing, especially not in the 'grand ballroom dance' Ali is used to, but the two of them can at least fit in.]
This is going to be a bit of a squeeze, I apologize in advance.
[Oh yeah, this is definitely not going to be conducive to anything but close swaying, huh... Oh well, Zvei doesn't mind and he waves it off with a laugh.]
[Though given the quirk of his lips, apparently it's not just for science, but also because he finds it amusing. Still, science is the priority here!
So here we are, swaying in the confession booth, which likely could be more awkward than it actually is, at least on Zvei's end. He doesn't mind at all, and even hums a simple tune to make a play at this being dancing rather than just swaying.]
[It is a little awkward, especially since Ali doesn't just slow dance with everyone he meets. But he knows how to, and his hand seeks out Zvei's waist while the other holds Zvei's hand. Swaying, Zvei humming, and Ali chuckling.
Eventually enough of a dance has happened that Ali's watch dings, and he pulls away to check it. His eyes go wide.]
Even more...? Well, that might actually set me for life.
[Probably not, but Zvei's not exactly a materialistic person. Still, he grins as he gestures for Ali to follow him back - time to take a spin on the other one!
The spin does indeed spit out something a little more questionable: RIDE HAND ON THE ALTAR. Not the worst combination it could've given, but certainly a lot more explicit than the first one. Zvei raises a hand to his chin, nodding like he just made sense of this, still entirely unbothered by the situation.]
Ah, so this one is a bit more direct in what we're to do, I see...!
[...He's just assuming these are both trying to encourage fucking, because look at what this place has been like so far.]
Ohhhh nonononono, there has to be a way to do it without everyone seeing.
[He's not really shy about sex. But sex in front of people? Hell no. He can shapeshift into a new face if he ruins his reputation and he still feels like he's going to perish on the spot if anyone catches them.]
[He's trying to be inconspicuous about it while investigating the altar, but he's pretty obvious. But eventually he flips the tablecloth up and sees a normal table underneath it.
He looks back to Zvei.]
I have an idea.
[He is pulling that tablecloth off discreetly to swipe it for a moment. The slot machine didn't say they couldn't make their own altar somewhere else.]
[He will lead the other to one of the open suites in this place, one that has at least an end table of some kind. That is where he will drape the cloth.]
[It's the cutest, most beautiful, most exquisite creature Linhardt has ever seen. Very, very few things can wake Linhardt out of a deep sleep, but a dragon is one of them. And it's small. Linhardt fights the urge to make a noise of the type that Edelgard might make when she sees something cute and thinks nobody can hear her. He's so enraptured he forgets to be angry that the small dragon is hoarding all the blankets. Maybe it's so small because it's a baby. He can't be mad at a baby dragon!
Even if he is a bit chilly on account of only being in a pair of white boxers.
His lack of clothing is by far the least important thing about this situation. The most important being dragon.
Holding his breath, Linhardt quietly tries to sneak out of the bed so he can get a better look, leaning down so that his blue eyes can peer at the reptile, sparkling with curiosity.]
How lovely.
[The healer reaches out a pale hand and gently touches the dragon's back. What kind of wings does it have? What magic does it have?]
Oh, you are beautiful.
[And Linhardt is delighted he's getting to see you.]
[He is not a baby thankfully, just very very small. He only tripled in size from his hatching size, which is highly unusual. But if Linhardt knows dragons well, he'll be able to see that this dragon has all the features of an adult dragon. long horns, adult teeth, and so forth.
When Linhardt touches the dragon's back he will find that this dragon runs warm and smells of burning, so if Linhardt gets cold he can just cuddle close! His wings are jet black, just like the rest of him, and feel kind of leathery in contrast to his scaly body. Given his warmth, fire magic is a good bet.
The dragon stretches and shakes out his wings a bit. The praise has woken him up, but he feels content to stay here. Someone praising him probably isn't a threat, right?
He does crack open a red eye to peer at Linhardt though. Even if he feels safe here, he wants to see too.]

slot machines
[But if it's for Science, he'd be a fool to say no! Besides, Zvei's done infinitely stranger things for Science.]
But I'd be delighted to help. People do seem to be having quite a bit of fun with them!
[Open to either easy or difficult, take your pick!]

no subject
[Zvei claps his hands together, delighted by the outcome, though that... sure is a collection of words, huh.]
I'm not sure I can help with "someone old" as I don't know how old I am, precisely, but I assume the confessional is that?
[He points over to the confessional... it looks a little small to dance in, though...]
no subject
If you're old enough to only have a general range, that's probably old enough. Let's try it.
no subject
Let's see if we can make it work, then!
[And without waiting for an answer, he's already off to the confessional!]
no subject
The confessional is small and is in no way conducive towards dancing, especially not in the 'grand ballroom dance' Ali is used to, but the two of them can at least fit in.]
This is going to be a bit of a squeeze, I apologize in advance.
no subject
Hardly your fault! Let's give this a try!
[He offers Ali a hand - shall we dance?]
no subject
Still, he takes Zvei's hand.]
It's for science, after all.
[He must find out what happens when the conditions are fulfilled. So, he must dance.]
no subject
For science.
[Though given the quirk of his lips, apparently it's not just for science, but also because he finds it amusing. Still, science is the priority here!
So here we are, swaying in the confession booth, which likely could be more awkward than it actually is, at least on Zvei's end. He doesn't mind at all, and even hums a simple tune to make a play at this being dancing rather than just swaying.]
no subject
Eventually enough of a dance has happened that Ali's watch dings, and he pulls away to check it. His eyes go wide.]
That much of a win?
[A medium win is still a lot of money to him.]
no subject
My, now that certainly is an excellent way to make money. Perhaps we should give it another spin!
no subject
[There has to be a catch. Like, maybe the words don't always line up to a task or something.]
You spin this time. Let's try the other machine too, maybe it pays more.
no subject
[Probably not, but Zvei's not exactly a materialistic person. Still, he grins as he gestures for Ali to follow him back - time to take a spin on the other one!

Ah, so this one is a bit more direct in what we're to do, I see...!
[...He's just assuming these are both trying to encourage fucking, because look at what this place has been like so far.]

On the altar?!
[But everyone will SEE THEM THERE!]
no subject
I suppose everyone would see us.
[...That does not seem to be deterring him any.]

[He's not really shy about sex. But sex in front of people? Hell no. He can shapeshift into a new face if he ruins his reputation and he still feels like he's going to perish on the spot if anyone catches them.]
no subject
I wonder if there's another altar around here somewhere... Though really, you don't need to be embarrassed! I'm the one who will be riding your hand!
[He's totally helping!!]
no subject
[NOT HELPING
But no. He just needs to clear his mind and think logically. There's another way to go about this.]
Just...come over here. Let's see what we have to work with.
[Maybe they can get by on a technicality. Like if Zvei is touching the altar but they are otherwise just standing nearby and aren't obvious about it.]
no subject
I suppose it is fairly large... We could try being behind it?
[Though that's still pretty damn public. Hmm. Any other ideas?]
no subject
[He's trying to be inconspicuous about it while investigating the altar, but he's pretty obvious. But eventually he flips the tablecloth up and sees a normal table underneath it.

[He is pulling that tablecloth off discreetly to swipe it for a moment. The slot machine didn't say they couldn't make their own altar somewhere else.]
no subject
Oh, I think I see where you're going with this!
[Make our own altar somewhere more private, then! Zvei nods his approval and gestures for Ali to lead the way.]
no subject
[He will lead the other to one of the open suites in this place, one that has at least an end table of some kind. That is where he will drape the cloth.]
See? An altar.
