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.

▶ 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.

▶ 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. 💕
[ Alas that the warning comes too late. The handle is already pulled and the wheels already spinning. The numbers pop up and--oh.
Oh.
Well. Navia manages to school the shocked expression on her face, clearing her throat as the challenge to fuck someone in the coat closet is transferred over to her watch. Looking up at Sylvain, she laughs sheepishly. ]
No reward without risk, I suppose...? It... it's not the worst outcome, surely. At least a coat closet has a door that can be locked. [ Right! Look on the bright side, Navia. ] I just need to find someone now that I can... proposition. Surely someone here would be agreeable.
[ He arches an eyebrow, impressed that she hasn’t just turned bright red. Or swooned. But his lips quirk into a crooked smile all the same as his gaze flits from the slot machine to her face.
And then lower, as he gives her a somewhat pointed once-over. ]
Oh, surely. Finding someone ‘agreeable’ is rarely a hardship in this place, after all. Almost everyone here is eager to play the game. But surely you must have higher standards than that?
[ Monsieur, these kinky shenanigans aren't enough to make Navia Caspar swoon--she's French Fontainian.
His sweeping gaze makes her blush, though, as an unexpected heat flutters in her belly. Navia tips her chin up, projecting a confidence she isn't sure she feels, and smiles a little coquettish grin at him. ]
Of course I have standards. I'm not going to sleep with just anyone. It would have to be someone handsome, of course, and strong enough to lift me with ease.
[ Sylvain meets those criteria easily enough, so Navia forges on ahead. She doesn't know anything about him beyond that he seems interested, so she might as well plainly state what she wants. ]
I'd like a lover who has enough experience to know what he's doing, but he wouldn't be arrogant about it. He would need to be as invested in my pleasure as his own, and I would like him to treat me sweetly and hold me for a few moments afterwards, at least.
What do you think of those standards, monsieur? Do you suppose there is anyone here who could hope to meet them?
Hmmm. [ He pretends to give that a great deal of thought as he surveys the room at large, tapping a finger against his chin as if she’s just presented him with some great puzzle.
Only to give her a playful wink when his laughing gaze eventually makes its way back to meet her own. ]
Perhaps on everything except the arrogant, part, mayhaps.
[ Not that he actually is, for all that he might play at it now and again. But he has a reputation, after all, even if its not quite the same her as it was back home.
Still, he swoops in to scoop her up in his arms and gives her a playful twirl before heading for the legendary coat closet of the evening. ]
Everything else should be easy enough to manage, my lady.
[ Navia is about to say something pithy, but it becomes a moot point when Sylvain literally sweeps her off her feet and starts to carry her off. She gives a little cry of surprise, looping her arms around his shoulders to keep herself steady. That settles that, she supposes.
Still, there's some formality that must be observed. ]
I'm Navia.
[ She leans in a little so he can hear her over the din of the casino without having to speak in a raised voice, and the tip of her nose brushes against the shell of his ear. He smells nice, she thinks, and he is handsome. She can feel herself getting warm just thinking about what it is they're about to do. ]
Lady? That level of formality really isn't necessary.
[ In spite of the fact that she's the president of the Spina, she doesn't hold any kind of rank in Fontaine's peerage. She's the Demoiselle, and she's Boss--those are the titles that are really meaningful to her.
Not to say she isn't pleased with being addressed as such. She can feel her cheeks burning at the compliment, and his proximity. ]
I can't imagine what you might've found distracting about me. In yellow and blue, I practically blend into the background here.
[ he chuckles at her dismissal of his compliment, looking amused. ]
Don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t strike me as the sort who would blend into any background. No matter the color scheme.
[ But he doesn’t miss the flush to her cheeks, either, and it has his smile brightening a hint, pleased that he’d caused that.
Ducking around the end of the aisle, he turns a corner and then slips them into the alcove that marks the entrance to the coat closet. Which is truly larger than any coat closet has a right to be, in his opinion, with several rows of ceiling-height racks and shelves. And no door, but the aisles of racks give the appearance of tucked-away privacy at the very least. And while the noise from the casino is muted here, it’s still audible enough to drown out quiet sounds at least. ]
I think, for the moment, we have the place to ourselves.
[ he has no idea how long that might last, or how often the slots might be sending people back here to fulfill their challenges. ]
[ Sylvain, are you trying to make the girl blush? Because it's working. This is all a little overwhelming, especially once they enter the closet and she discovers that it's the size of a small apartment, because of course it is. ]
This isn't exactly what I was imagining when it said 'coat closet' but now that we're here it makes perfect sense. Everything in this place is over-the-top, isn't it?
[ Navia laughs a little helplessly, clinging just that much tighter to Sylvain's shoulders. 'For the moment' means 'not for long,' and the thought gives her a little rush. She hadn't thought herself an exhibitionist, but, well... as they say, 'drink the wine in Mondstadt and the water in Fontaine.' It's not the end of the world if someone spots them, is it?
That being said, she finds herself growing eager to begin, so she leans in and kisses the corner of his mouth. ]
[ No, but it’s a great bonus side effect, he’s realizing. It looks good on her. He may have to make this a new hobby, in fact. ]
This place doesn’t do anything by halves, trust me.
[ he’s chuckling as he carefully sets her down, letting her feet find the floor and making sure she has her balance before straightening again. He smiles down at her, bending with her and keeping his hands around her waist as she leans up to kiss the corner of his mouth. ]
Impatient, are we?
[ And he’ll gently nudge her back one of the aisles deeper into the coat closet, farther away from the entrance and out of sight. For the most part. It would still be easy enough to be discovered, if someone came looking, but it would do for this, he thinks. ]
[ Maybe she is impatient, but it's kind of rude to point it out! Wow! She feigns offense, then, leaning back and turning up her nose at him like the haughtier Fontainian ladies might do. ]
Oh? I would hope that my partner in this endeavor would at least be able to match my level of enthusiasm, monsieur.
[ But she drops the act as they stray deeper into the closet. He's obviously an incorrigible flirt, so she'll have to get used to that rather than rising to every little teasing comment. Instead, she pulls him down for more kisses, less reserved and more playful. The slot machine said they had to fuck, but it didn't say they couldn't fool around in other ways first, and she needs a bit of warming up before they do the deed.
Taking one of his hands, she guides it to the back of her dress where the corset is laced tight. He should know what to do about that... ]
[ Oh, he does. And the fact that he can deftly unlace her corset one-handed without even needing to look… is probably a skillset that says a lot about him, even if it’s not one he typically boasts of.
But he keeps her distracted with kisses at the same time, his other hand cupping against her cheek, then down along her throat before cupping at the nape of her neck. He angles her face up towards him as he delves in, tongue teasing against her lips before tangling with her own. He’s always been an attentive lover - his reputation wasn’t all talk, after all.
Her corset unlaced, he lets his fingers skim along the line of her spine and then down over the curve of her ass as he draws her in closer. ]
Trust me, my enthusiasm is very much intent on keeping up.
