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.

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.

[ Clothes shopping is one of the finer things in life that Reign enjoys immensely, even in a resort with its peculiar vibe. So he has come to this store during the late evening just before closing, dressed in a ruffle top with intricate lacings at the back. The designs here are admittedly more... revealing, though the laces add a kind of sexiness to it. In the midst of his browsing, his gaze is drawn towards the tall man who just stood out of the changing room, his blue eyes widening slightly at the attire he wore.
Perhaps his staring had been a bit too obvious, because he startles a bit when he's spoken to. Even his low voice suits his image. Ahem, Reign mentally clears his throat before speaking. ]
I wouldn't say so, but it's quite common to see clothes veering on the sensual side. However, there are also styles that I'm more familiar with. [ He gestures to himself as an example. ] Is there anything in particular you're looking for?
[Mingjue stated bluntly, not at all seeming to react to the staring, even if he had noticed it.]
More specifically hanfu. Or warriors garb should the situation call for it.
[Which was often, considering his life.]
They dressed me in something like that upon my arrival, but the style was more akin to what you would wear at a wedding ceremony. So I've been looking for something else as to not give the wrong impression.
[Was it actually the wrong impression if you were arrange married upon arrival though?]
But everything I've found so far in the store here has been rather, well--
[He lifted his arms slightly, showing off his sides and stomach with how the fabric wrapped around him. Thin fabric stretching, barely containing the taut muscle underneeth.]
[ Reign has no idea what kind of traditional garb this man wears, nor what a hanfu looks like. He has seen it before, but has no idea that's what it's called. Even a warrior's garb gets a furrowed brow from him. ]
That's the Golden Peacock for you. There is no telling what you wake up in when you arrive. I was stark naked except for a robe on my person! And I've heard others who wake up naked in the forest instead. It appears your batch is the luckier one.
[ For goodness sake, don't stretch and flex like that! It's given him ideas. ]
So you're looking for something more comfortable, right? There are such selections. If you could describe what a hanfu looks like, I may be able to help.
[Truthfully, considering what he had to wear back in the last place he was in, even a small robe sounded much better than this. The style looked nice but it was merely the way it constrained around him that he wasn't used to!]
Mmn. Rather than describe, I can show it to you.
[After all, he did only just change out of his wedding robes!
Turning around, Mingjue took a quick moment to bend over and dig through the small shopping bag he was carrying. Pulling out a set of long red robes. Hadling the fabric surprisingly delicately, he held them out for Reign to inspect.]
This is what I was in when I had woken up. The style is fine but the color, well, it's a bit embarrassing to be receiving all this attention for being wed.
[ Reign waits patiently as the man retrieves said clothing, eyes widening at he takes in the gorgeous red robes, the gold embroidery intricate despite its simplicity. He's also going to ignore the way those tight clothes of his stretches as he bent over earlier, leaving nothing to the imagination.
And so when the robes are held out to him, the vampire runs a hand carefully over the cloth, fingering the evidently expensive material. He chuckles softly as he glances up at the man. ]
Wedding jitters? Don't worry too much about it. This is just one of many events that the resort throws at us unfortunate players, kidnapped here against our will to play their game.
[ With a hum, Reign turns around in search of something similar that the man could wear. It does take a while, seeing as most selections here are either too revealing, or way too tight for someone of the stranger's physique. ]
What about this?
[ He asks as he holds up an all black attire. It's loose and airy enough to be comfortably worn, and the laced sash belt completes the look. ]
[Mingjue replies, his voice taking on a tired and somewhat dejected tone. But none the less he approaches closer, leaning in to inspect the fine fabric Riegn chose for him.]
Considering my position and where I come from, it is difficult not to take a marriage proposal seriously. Even if it is for some sort of game, if there is some legaitimacy in this world binding me to a person, it is my duty to step up and play my part.
[Such is the way of a cultivation leader. He reaches out to run thick calloused fingers delicately over the fabric. Understanding that it was indeed of fairly high quality.
The style was not something he was used to, as it didn't quite accent his shoulders the way he liked, and the sash seemed strangly intricate for something he was simply supposed to tie and his waist, but considering how long it took to find even this--]
The staffs here don't care whether you are married or not, as long as you play their game. They don't even take kindly to married couples who are trapped here along with everyone else.
[ Reign can't help but give the man a wry smile. ]
Sounds to me that you're an honourable man who takes his duties and vows seriously. If you already have someone back home and is now forcibly tied to another, I can only say a heartfelt "sorry" that you're thrown into this debacle.
[ Part of him wonders if this man comes from one of those cultivation world, seeing as the clothes he wear look similar to those. Huaisang comes to mind, as are some of the heavenly officials. ]
There's a dressing room nearby, and should you need anything else, just let me know. Unless, of course, you don't mind changing here.
[Oh Reign, if only you knew how close he and Huaisang were.]
It's interesting that you made that an option.
[Mingjue couldn't help but give a small smirk at Reign's offer. Between the eyes Reign gave him only moments before and the not-so-subtle offer to change clothing publicly, the larger man had a fairly certain idea of what the stranger had going on in his mind.]
It's not that I'm married, per se. I did have a romantic partner, but we knew we had to remain pretty open with our prospects, considering our circumstances.
[He'll let the coat slip off his shoulders, exposing his broad arms and only making the corset frame around his body more visible.]
But considering this place is so eager to have me wed at least twice now, I must take such contractual obligations seriously. I would not wish to take on wives only to sully the importance of what it means to do such, especially considering the position into which I was born.
[ At first, Reign made no connection as to the "option" he'd implied, having said it off-handedly in a teasing manner, not to be taken seriously. But when he man began to remove his coat as he elaborate on his romantic status, Reign can't help but swallows a bit.
Right, the stranger most definitely caught onto his staring earlier. But he'll focus on the current matter at hand instead, keeping his gaze firmly above chest level. ]
That's understandable. [ Though he doesn't question what kind of circumstances the stranger meant. It could be familial, political, or even social reasons.
Even if he'd resolutely kept a more neutral expression on his face, Reign does reach out to help take the coat from the man, half dreading whether he's doing to strip down entirely, or put the new clothes on over the top for a quick test fit instead. ]
Ah, a position that you did not ask for, but born into it. [ That is something that Reign is wholly familiar with, being the only son and heir to the Fear clan. It's not hard to imagine himself in a similar position. After all, political marriage is the norm in this world, no love lost. ]
[Nodding his head slowly, Mingjue began to fumble around with the small clasps that held the bodice together. His hands awkwardy doing each one bit by bit, exposing a little more of the tight muscle of his chest with each time.
Growing up in the parts of society he had, he was obviously not at all used to dressing himself. At least, not with such an intricate type of clothing as this.]
I was the leader of a major cultivation clan back home, one of the five lead clans out of the near hundred that existed.
[He looked up, taking a small moment to himself to rest, leaving the shirt only half held together, just enough to show his abdomen, before looking up at Reign.]
It means whoever would be wed to me would be candidate for Nie-Furen, and my partner in helping run the sect.
[Well, if he wasn't dead. But regardless, it was a pretty intimidating title to just throw on someone.]
[ Cultivation? So this man is indeed from such a world. Perhaps similar to Huaisang's? Especially judging from his preference of clothing.
Without conscious thought, Reign reaches out to help him unclasp the rest of the bodice, not at all using it as an excuse to scrutinise those musculature. Not at all! He's merely helping the man remove this rather finicky piece of clothing, that's all. ]
The type of cultivation that cultivates your—what's the word—qi?
[ He then passes the inner black robe to the man, his attention caught by something said. Nie-furen? Nie? ]
Are you by any chance related to Nie Huaisang? [ "Was" the leader, implying that something caused his lost of position. Perhaps now taken over by Huaisang? ] Is he your partner? [ His eyes widen. ] Or your son?
