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.

▶ 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. 💕
Maybe. I'd have to do some grocery shopping, source some silverware, get all the right equipment...
[ honestly this is doing wonders for whatever anxiety has quickly built up in his system. that the normal and mundane would sustain him, probably bring a sense of something familiar to curb those nerves. ]
... no, I'm not dead. [ frowns! ] No way I'm dead, I was running errands yesterday. Made sure to tuck in my friend before I went to bed.
[Ash's thin eyebrows loft, pleasantly surprised by this turn of events. Why, he could have his very own doggy caretaker in this weird little afterlife, couldn't he?] Already raring to go, huh? Haha! If you know how to prepare a good hotpot with crab, you're hired. I could use a new butler, anyway.
[Finishing his pastry at last, Ash finds it within himself to stretch out amongst the covers and slip out of bed. If Hung is feeling that shy about his little wedded partner here, he might want to avert his eyes; Ash doesn't seem to have been blessed with any underwear to go with the negligee and he is not shy about it all hanging out. He pads carefully across the plush carpet to inspect the rest of the spread that's been left out for them, taking a tea packet between his fingers and preparing himself a cup as he plops into one of the room's armchairs, instead.]
Really? You're not? ... Are you sure?? That certainly throws a wrench into my theory. Hmmm.... [He slowly pours hot water into his cup from the kettle left for them, somehow still piping hot; the room slowly fills with the aroma of freshly brewing black tea.] Well I am most certainly dead. So perhaps you are the one who needs to figure out why he is here, mon cheri.
[Ash smiles as he adds a splash of milk to his cup and stirs. Yeah-huh, Betty would tuck him in!! :(] Especially as it appears that we've been wedded together. Isn't that fun? Ha!
[ well. honestly, hung now feels better that he's been given something to cover his more sensitive bits after watching ash find a few ways to show that he hasn't been as fortune in terms of whatever clothes they've been dressed in. that unfortunately his curiosity gets the best of him and as soon as he spots a little something-something, he turns his head again.
and then of course he has to flaunt himself by... actually making himself some tea. okay. well, that's normal? ]
Maybe you're a zombie.
[ that's decent enough of a guess, right? with a sigh he sits on the edge of the bed, wrinkling his nose as a frown sticks on his muzzle. ]
Can you be married to someone without consent? Seems really wrong, don't you think?
[Take it all in, Hung!! Clearly, Ash is not shy about it, and doesn't seem to mind whether he gets a gander or not. That said, he's not exactly going out of his way to flaunt it, either... So maybe he's just very confident in himself? His body is quite muscular; pretty fit for how young he seems to be.]
A zombie! Haha, that'd be fun, wouldn't it? [Ash raises his teacup to his lips, stretched wide with his smile, and indulges himself in the first steamy sip.] Should I be getting a craving for brains right about now? Maybe you'd better start running before I get hungry for something besides pastry.
[Siiiip. Ash's eyebrow raises thoughtfully in the face of Hung's question; his teacup lifts away and he raises his nails to his chin to tap in an array.]
Hmmmm~ Now that is a question. Maybe it depends on the laws of the land? Do you think Hell is the sort of place that cares about your wishes? [His smile widens; he leans into his cupped hand, fingertips twirling in his bangs.] More importantly, are you saying I'm a bad catch? Tsk, you're hurting my delicate feelings...!
[ he has taken it in and would like to return for something of equal or lesser value.
it takes a moment for hung to get what ash is saying and he immediately shakes his head, turning to look at what avenues he has for escape. he doesn't doubt that some would mistake him for a hot dog, but not a Hot Dog. and he's got enough meat on his bones as well as a meaty... well. i think i'm done with this. ]
I never said you were a bad catch! Don't put words in my mouth. [ if this is actually hell and ash deserved to be here, doesn't that put hung at a disadvantage right from the get-go? perhaps it doesn't matter how strong or skilled he is, he might just lose right away. ]
But... I mean, things could be worse. Right?
[ it's his turn to sit down, legs spreading apart. for comfort's sake, obviously. ]
[Despite the obvious joke, Ash doesn't miss how it still gets Hung glancing for an exit. Getting worked up over his teasing. How cute.... His toothy grin grows over the lip of his cup as he laughs in response to his fluster.]
[Ash's eyes narrow in on the spot next to Hung on the bed... And he stands up, instead sauntering his way over to sit next to him again. His leg crosses delicately at the knee. Hello, husband.]
Always, things could take a turn for the worse. After all, if I really am in Hell, where is the fire and brimstone? Or the shocking cold, if you ascribe to Monsieur Dante's descriptions. [He sips his tea, thoughtful for a moment, and smacks his lips before turning his lash-lidded gaze up at Hung.]
Perhaps we are actually in Heaven? --Ahahaha. [No, he can't even say it as a joke before laughing again. He certainly seems convinced of where he should be, in any case- even if so far, he doesn't think Hung seems like the type that would deserve to be cast into punishment like him.]
[It makes him curious.] ...Ash. It would be best to at least know your husband's name, if we are to be wedded, oui? [Can't say it without grinning. What a little devil.]
[ the name is awfully familiar. was there an operator with that name as well? i don't even know if the rainbow six collab counts as being canonical... ]
Uh. I'm Hung.
[ right. that's his name! don't forget it. he doesn't feel any more comfortable with his spouse sitting next to him. in fact, hung is probably more leery of every movement he makes and word he says. the concept of them being dead just... kind of hits a little harder than he would've normally expected. especially when things are very odd. confusing. and he doesn't want to be led down a rabbit hole that he might get stuck in. ]
I really don't think we're in Heaven or Hell. Pretty sure we're just... on vacation?
[ it's the most simple explanation. ]
And maybe we were matched up for some reason that neither of us know. Maybe they ran out of rooms. Maybe it's all some weird game someone's playing.
[ because he never imagined he'd get married in the first place, so! then again--- working in a detective agency also seemed pretty farfetched when he started. ]
But uh... I'll protect you all the same, if that makes you feel better.
"Hung", hm? [...He wonders how Duolon and Shen Woo are doing... Probably eating tons of crab, without worrying about him.]
[Sigh.]
[Ash rests his chin in his hands and laughs cheerfully. The naivety was so staggering that it was endearing. This guy.... was probably a good person, huh? Probably not someone that deserved to be down here, like Ash. But that aside, he really wasn't convinced that he was dead, either- so maybe he should consider the options.]
[Still...] A vacation! [Ash leans, just enough to shoulder-to-shoulder with the fuzzy guy. He is a little curious how soft he feels...] Perhaps you might be just whisked away to enjoy a complimentary vacation, but as for moi.....
Haha, well, who knows what comes after death? [His hands move to grip the edge of the bed, hiding the tension in them; his face turns outward to look into their suite.] But there is no mistaking my case. In fact, I made very sure of that.
[His hands lift again when he can trust them, and clap together.] Not that I mind! You don't seem like so bad a match to be stuck with.
[It almost takes him by surprise, for Hung to make such an offer. For multiple reasons; but it's just so funny to him that Ash can't help but laugh into his hand again, then reach out to gingerly pat Hung's shoulder.]
...It does. Merci.
[Offering to protect others that he doesn't even know; Betty and him would probably get along. Betty, Duolon, Shen.... He hopes they're living good lives, now.]
[ no mercy to anyone that hung is actively defending. he's been battered, beaten, and taken many blows in the past... and while he's not sure if those are the kinds of blows he'll be getting here, it won't stop him from pursuing his own form of furry justice. ]
Not planning on finding that out any time soon. I've got someone to look out for.
[ and though it could be interpreted that he's talking about his new husband, it's actually about someone else. someone who needs his guidance whether he likes it or not. begrudgingly or not. a little feline who has very active paws, who has pretty good intentions but the methods are usually dicey. ]
And there's no one out there who doesn't deserve a vacation! [ a moment as he chuckles nervously. ] Even if it seems like you might be... uh, in really deep trouble? So maybe this is the best time for one.
[ he can only assume the worst is coming for ash, who probably doesn't deserve it despite his demeanor. ]
