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. 💕
[ the curtsy is a beautifully executed thing. aventurine observes the careful pleat of her feet, the way her hands gracefully part for the gesture, and concludes that this young lady - navia - must be well-practised in such maneuvers. there are strata to society. aventurine has always known where he belongs.
it's with a facsimile of warmth that he presses a hand to his chest, offering navia a thirty-degree bow, with the grace of a man who learned, rather than was born, to be. ]
Indeed, Miss Navia. [ aventurine says, with a rueful tip of his chin, ] I suppose it was a bit obvious. If I were a veteran, perhaps I'd have been used to being ordered around by paintings, and merely got on with it.
[ he holds out his hand. ] Will you entrust me with your hand for a moment?
[ That, or she comes from a society so steeped in performative politeness that even a peasant would know how to execute a perfect curtsy, but he's allowed to think what he needs to maintain his sense of self-importance. The truth is actually far more interesting than either of those options, but they're not trapped in an elevator because a sentient, horny painting wants to hear their backstories. ]
I'm not sure I'd ever get used to being ordered around by the decor, but I suppose people learn to adapt.
[ Which is why she nods at his request, reaching out to set her slender hand in his palm. Be gentle with her. ]
[ her words elicit the lopsided crook of a grin. aventurine thinks of penacony, and the decor that simply comes to life in a dream and chases you down the side of a busy road simply because it can. there are worlds, and there are worlds - and then there is the unfettered fever dream of a world that aventurine is only convinced exists because it has an oddly logical and rigid structure for currency.
this young lady has adapted. she slips her hand into his. so aventurine takes navia's hand, and in a facsimile of polite society, lifts the back of it to his lips. warmth lingers along her knuckles, before he gives back her hand. ]
Isn't there a saying like so? When in Xianzhou, learn to bargain. When in Thalassa, learn to swim. The pleasure is mine, Miss Navia. Now we're properly acquainted. I don't know if this will make you any more comfortable, in truth, but I thought I would at least try.
[ It may be nothing more than a performance, but Navia has always loved it when gentlemen kiss the back of her hand by way of introduction. It's such a romantic gesture--one that never fails to bring a blush to her cheeks, even now--but she tries not to jump to any conclusions about the kind of person this Aventurine fellow is. They're putting on a show right now, after all. ]
There's a saying a bit like that where I come from as well. 'Drink the wine in Mondstadt and the water in Fontaine.'
[ As far as her comfort goes, there's only so much that can be done to ensure that in a situation like this. There's really nothing else for it.
Except... how does one simply dive into such an endeavor under the eager eyes of a voyeur, even a painted one? Stepping in closer, she rests her hands on his chest and leans in to kiss him. ]
[ mondstadt and fontaine. two words that aventurine is unfamiliar with, which is unusual in its novelty given that aventurine is aware of the names of each world the ipc has significant assets in. ratio's theory on multiple universes, then, is becoming more and more salient. aventurine takes a moment to cast a thoughtful glance at the painting observing them. she is a prim young lady with a scandalous mouth, hands clasped before her like knives poised to cut.
she wants a show. most people do. aventurine likes being a show. navia leans in to kiss him. his lips meet hers in a slow, indulgent curve. ]
Then, [ aventurine says, each word slow and honey-dripped against the warmth of navia's lips, ] when in bliss, shall we indulge?
[ in truncated heartbeat, aventurine is coaxing navia into an open-mouthed kiss, slow and filthy, even as he moves to cage her with his arms against the mirrored sheen of the elevator walls. ]
[ This is not the kind of performance that Navia is used to giving, no objections to present before the court here. The portrait on the wall is judge and jury, but there's no law here to codify the sentences they must serve before they can be allowed on their way.
She squeaks a little when her back hits the wall, lips parting to give permission: indulge all you like. She indulges, too, her hands sliding inside his jacket to press flat palms against the planes of his back. Aventurine's body is firm and toned, but yielding, too, unlike his namesake, and it's just now starting to really sink in for her that she's about to make love to this man, this complete stranger, in an elevator.
Well. Not make love. She's going to fuck him, or he's going to fuck her, one or the other. A shiver of anticipation flutters behind her breast, spreading through her body, and that antsy energy makes her jump when something that looks rather like a padded bench of some kind appears next to them in the elevator. ]
