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.
BLANKET CW: Aphrodisiac; Compulsion; Costumes; Dubcon; Entrapment; Foodplay; Gambling; Lingerie; Matrimony; Tentacles; NSFW Images and Language; NTR; Nudity; Roleplay; Sacrilegious Themes
▶ 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. 💕
[There should be more important matters to tend to when one is whisked away to another dimension against one's will, but Elphelt justifies playing dress up as an attempt to fit in with the locals. Besides, she can't just keep wandering around in her wedding dress! She is over that phase.
[Just as she manages to button the final button of her vest with some effort, she jumps as the door to her dressing room opens.]]
Occupied! Occupied! Okupita!
[Well, that does no good, as now she now finds herself sharing the dressing room--barely big enough for one person!--with a new friend.]
[Why won't they put her in dressing rooms that are actually empty? This seems to be a particular issue that happens with her, since everyone else seems to have been led to empty ones. She even witnessed it, and had been hoping this time is different.
This time, rather than a wedding dress, she had a toga on, the material soft and flowing, her dress... lost in the abyss at this point. So was her blanket.
On the plus side, she finally got paired with a cute girl. Still, she should apologize. At this point, the issue seems to be her.]
Ah, sorry about that! I tried to tell them not to put me in when someone is already here but they just wouldn't listen.
[Oh no, this poor lady. Elphelt didn't mean make her feel guilty! This is clearly not her fault, after all.]
Treating a lady like this! Oooh, I'll give them a piece of my mind after, don't you worry.
[She will ask for the manager and everything! She'll protect this poor, nervous lady's honor. And maybe get her a gift card in the process! Ooo!]
Ah, this is really cramped for a meet-cute, but might as well make the best of it!
[This is far too cramped to curtsy (not that she can in pants, anyway) or bow, so instead she takes one of the lady's hands between both of hers and looks her in the eyes!]
Elphelt Valentine, at your service. It's a pleasure to meet you! Oh, oh! Can I help you try something on?
[Ah... Her bubbly nature is soothing. She reminds her of the girls back home. That's helpful.]
I'm Shequraso, it is my pleasure as well!
[She doesn't get to comment on the rest of what she says-- she's like a whirlwind, with the way she acts, but she doesn't mind. She was asked as question and all, and thus time Shequraso looks embarrassed.]
Oh, if you... wouldn't mind, Miss Elphelt. I've never worn garments like the ones they have here, so they look quite complicated.
Oh, got it. Don't worry, I'm familiar with all sorts of outfits, so you're in good hands.
[Even the standard fashion in her world is more complex than most things here, but being a performer means she has even more experience wearing weird things.]
I do wish there was more room, but gotta work with what we've got, right? Off with that toga, Miss Shequraso.
[Elphelt nabs that pirate uniform to hold until Shequraso is ready.]
[She presses a hand to her cheek, sighing in happiness at the cheerful response, distracted for a moment.]
Your liveliness is so relaxing. I almost feel like I've known you for a lot longer.
[It wasn't like she was particularly shy with her body as long as it was in private, but it was a lot less nervewracking with her than with the men. For one, she doesn't feel threatened by her.
So she moves down, tugging at the belt with her thumbs (stretchable, rather than a clasp) and shimmies it down her body, lifting one leg after another so that she can set it on the wall hook. That act alone allows the toga to fall open-- a particularly flimsy cover, it seems, and exposes her body immediately. At least this time, she manages to get some underwear. ]
You say you're familiar with a lot of outfits. Are you perhaps a dressmaker, or a performer?
--! Pretty and smart! You're a double threat, Miss Shequraso! I'm a performer--a songwriter and vocalist for my band.
[Helping a woman get dressed shouldn't be a problem, but the cramped nature of the dressing room--well, being well within someone's personal space as they undress, regardless of who they are, is an awkward experience!
And she hasn't seen many people undress in the first place. Thank goodness for the underwear--Elphelt is blushing as it is, even with how PG-13 this may all be. She (carefully!) grabs the toga to help get it off and is clearly realizing that she had no idea how togas worked.]
[Oh, she's really cute. The sweet blush on her cheek was such an innocent touch to her perkiness that Shequraso can't help but want to bask in her presence. Inspiring, really, in a way that feels like an upbeat song.
Though, she says such strange words, just like Haru at times.]
A vocalist and songwriter? So you are a bard?
[Do they really differentiate that? For her, all musicians are creators of their own music, from lyrics, to the sound of the instruments, and their own voices. She makes it sound like they were different. She presses a hand to her cheek in thought, forgetting her half-dressed state where she's just in an open toga that looks more like a robe, and thin underwear that doesn't do much to hide anything. They resembled something she wore for work, closer to a swimsuit than actual underwear, but it did match the toga at least.]
[A bard...? She supposes that is not entirely wrong, but it isn't quite right, either. She does like it, though. Sure, not as hardcore as 'rock star' or 'death metalist', but it makes her sound fancy.]
Oh, of course, Miss Sheguraso! I might not have my band around to support me, but that won't hold me back!
[It is unfortunate she finds herself in a new world that knows nothing of her, as she has to now build up her fame from square one once again. But as far as she is concerned, this is just a new opportunity to spread the word of her band further than she ever thought possible.]
But let's get you dressed first, 'kay?
[If she stays this close to someone half naked, she will faint in only a matter of time. She tosses the toga over her back and shuffles through the pirate getup to grab the dress ]
You've been saying that a lot, a band. Is that a group of bards?
[Single travelling bards were common, but not quite groups. It was a curious word, and the more she hears, the more she wonders if she was someone like Haru. Always a little out of sync, quirky that seemed detached from their village. An outsider, for a lack of better term.
She's very obedient at least, but given she's got quite a bit of height, Shequraso has to bend down so that Elphelt could help her in the dress. This... well, does nothing to hide her assets, but that's fine. Elphelt can handle it.]
[?!? Her mind is reeling! Does this lady truly not know what a 'band' is? What sort of poor, uncultured, love-starved world does she hail from? She may as well have been told music itself doesn't exist!
Give her a moment. As advanced an AI she may be, this has her overwhelmed. Focusing on something else will help. Her eyes immediately lock onto Shequraso's assets. Gah! Now she is feeling envy!
...Or, wait. Is this envy? Whenever she has found herself unable to break her gaze from another woman, it has been due to envy. Yet, none of the invasive thoughts--'I cannot compare'; 'this fake body is inferior'; 'she has none of my imperfections'--creep into her mind. Her efforts to improve her self esteem have clearly been bearing fruit, yet she cannot put her finger one why she still stares.]
Y-Yeah.
[Elphelt puts the dress over Shequraso's head, helping to guide her arms into the sleeves and pulling the whole thing down. Then she pats at any wrinkles or snagged material.]
S-So, a band is a group of musicians. I have two guitarists, a bassist, a keyboardist, a drummer, and myself--the vocalist. We've been touring to play our music while we release recordings.
