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. 💕
[ He feels that dissidence worn like a shroud, immovable and protective, but Kizuna knows that shenanigans are already upon them. They have a choice, but it only goes so far. ]
I thought we could pull the lever together. That way, whatever happens, it'll be by both our hands.
[ Six, despite his reluctance, can understand the reasoning. If they truly have no choice, then they might as well make it both their problems. Sure, he can walk away now, but he might encounter someone else who might not be so accommodating.
So: ]
Fine. [ He holds out his hand, guiding them both to the lever. ] On the count of three, I guess.
[ There's only more uncertainty written on his face. Depending on what Lady Luck decides for them, this could turn out to be a disaster, but it's too little too late to back out now. ]
[ Three. Down the lever goes, initiating its dizzying whir, lights and jingling music blaring as if to spotlight that they're playing the game. Kizuna seems to thrive in it though, attention rapt as each slot clinks into place: ]
2 - 6 - 6 [ He hums, appraising, until his watch illuminates with a message: ] CONFESS A SECRET TO SOMEONE COLD IN THE BRIDAL SUITE.
...Well. I don't know that you're someone cold. [ He smiles, a bit lopsided. ] But that seems easy enough in these circumstances, doesn't it?
six would just die if they fuck in public lbr here
[ The watch beeps, and it's enough to make Six's ears twitch. His eyes narrow at the message that follows, but he supposes it could be much worse. ]
It'll have to count, or else we're looking for someone who fits the description. [ Which is more troublesome. ] Does it have to be in the Bridal Suite?
[ Kizuna very much wants to draw attention to his ears, but he refrains on the last threads of his self-restraint, picking up on the fact that his partner here might just sink back into the shadow at the first opportunity.
Not that there are many shadows to be found, but he's certain the belly of this beast is just as perilous as its bright feathers. ]
By that measure, I'd say it does have to be the suite to fulfill its conditions. Was there somewhere else you would have preferred?
[ Even if there aren't any shadows, Six will be sure to find some to blend with, so it's probably a good thing that Kizuna has more self-restraint than others. But his ears flicker again, looking all the more tempting unintentionally. ]
I don't see why a confession has to happen in such a place. It seems inappropriate.
[ It's a bridal suite... but what does he know about what brides need??? ]
That's true. But the confessionals have much less space, you know. [ The look that crosses his features is a cavalier mix of curiosity and cheekiness. ] I'd say our game of chance turned out pretty lucky. ♥
[ With that, he swivels to indicate a hall that splits off from the chapel proper. ]
I haven't been down that way yet, but I assume it's there. [ He holds out his hand. ] Shall we~?
[ ... the guy has a point. Six isn't sure he wants to give up what little personal space he has in a place like this, even if their challenge turned out to be one of the easier ones. He glances over towards the direction pointed out to him, and then spares a narrowed glance at the offered hand. ]
Must we hold hands? That's not part of the challenge.
[ Sorry, he's got a stick up his ass. But at least he's walking down the hallway rather than running away.
He approaches a room that is decorated as garishly as the rest of this place. Snow white, lace, and gold — its top three aesthetics. He feels so out of place here. ]
... I'm assuming this is where you have to confess.
[ Not that Kizuna didn't expect it, but he's always trying his luck in spite of the odds — in that way, he fits right in here. And the inside of the bridal suite is about what he expects with what he's experienced of the Peacock so far... it smells like champagne, melted candle wax, and overripe roses. Huffing a breath, he enters without reservation as if to inspect this stage he's meant to confess on.
First order of business is shutting off the porno music, thanks. ]
There's that. I don't think anything I'd confess to that kind of music would be something you'd want to hear.
[ Though, that does get Kizuna glancing over at him thoughtfully. ]
[ Not that Six is going to say anything about it, but he does look relieved when the porno music is switched off. Thank heavens. He doesn't know how much more his ears would have been able to handle.
They flicker and twitch, swivelling over to pay attention to the other man when he's addressed. ]
I have no preference. Confess whatever you'd like. A dark secret, your worst crime, your most shameful moment — [ why are these all so heavy ] I'll let you decide.
Ah, so you want to get into the interesting stuff right away?
[ Those are heavy topics and they do surprise Kizuna, but not enough that his demeanor falters. How easily those suggestions came to mind, though... well, let's just say he's had a feeling, and he's almost never wrong. He peruses the suite for a moment, noting the gifts, the foods, the drinks. Picking up a bottle of champagne on ice and noting the carafe of orange juice, he smiles. ]
Here I thought I could tell you about my most embarrassing crush, or how much I weigh. [ Flipping one the fancy crystal cups over, he uncaps the carafe and pours a glass of orange juice. ] Or maybe the worst rejection I've ever had?
[ Those are the only things Six could think of, but he's always had these topics in mind, so... This is what happens when your worldview is so warped by the lack of proper support while growing up.
He looks at the cup offered, and ultimately accepts it in the end. ]
... The message didn't specify, so I suppose those would count as well. Your pick.
[ Smile deepening at the acceptance of his offer, Kizuna decides not to take leave of his sobriety first here, no matter how much easier it would make this situation. So he settles for just orange juice too. It takes him the space of the pour to decide on what he wants to do, seeing that it really doesn't matter. ]
Since you've been so obliging to all my requests, let me start with this: [ He twists the glass in his fingertips, contemplative. ] I have the ability to see into your heart.
[ By now he's gotten the impression that if they see one another again, keeping this from him will be a poor choice. What can he do but simply let it go? ]
[ That— is a strange thing to admit, and even Six has to wonder if he heard the other man correctly. One of his ears swivels and dips, the motion followed by the rest of his head. Clearly, he's trying to process the words that were just said. ]
You can see into my heart—?
[ Does that mean this person can sense the slight nervousness that arises within him, when it slowly dawns on him what that could mean? ]
[ Kizuna is too aware of it, how that statement reads when he doesn't mince his words or duck behind a pleasant reflection as a measure of secrecy. Turning around, he leans lightly against the refreshment table. ]
I was born with it. There's no way to turn it off... but right now I'm not linked with you, so I can't see very deeply. You can relax.
