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. 💕
[ if it helps ereshkigal any, steve isn't always superb at socializing either. granted, he'd probably be doing a little better than this, but hey, he's not worried about people calling him the worst goddess to have ever existed. that's some pretty heavy pressure to be contending with, even if it's only coming from herself.
he waits patiently, at first, for her to finish a sentence, but his expression gets more and more concerned the longer it takes for her to even get a word out. by the second greetings she has his full attention, half-expecting that she's going to collapse on the spot and he'll have to carry her to the medical quarters. ]
Sure, we can talk. Are you alright? You look flustered.
[ do you need to sit down? steve is already looking around for a chair he can guide her into. ]
[ How dares he call her out like that?! Normally people are supposed to politely pretend they don't realize how anxious and flustered she is...! Such undignified behavior. Has she been mistaken in her choice? He still looks handsome, but... If he manages to make her feel so awkward and confused in the first ten seconds, what after two minutes? Ten minutes!
This place truly is full of dangers. ]
I-I am absolutely not flustered! Not even one bit!
[ Isn't it obvious? Sure she's red, sure her hands are trembling and yes the anxiety is palpable within a ten meter radius around her. But that doesn't mean she's flustered. Not at all. Probably.
... Or maybe she's overthinking this. Maybe if she explains more, he will understand. ]
I was given a most shameful challenge and tasked with confessing certain things to an individual chosen at random. [Technically the truth, she did randomly choose him... Out of a very limited selection of people whom she considers "hot." So that is absolutely not a lie.] And... And I was wondering if you would accept to be this individual.
[ okay, so mentioning how flustered she is only makes the fluster worse. got it. that's fine, steve's familiar with how important it can feel to keep one's sense of pride. and hey, she may be clearly nervous about it, but she's doing it anyway, so she's brave, too. that's admirable, in steve's book.
besides, there isn't anything for her to be worried about—he smiles as soon as she gets the request out. ]
The slot machines, huh? I have a task too. I can help you with yours, sure. Was there a specific place you have to confess?
[ The absolute worst place. Where people will see them and judge their every movements. Why, some may even record them dancing and tease them with the recordings!! And then they'll tell her she's the worst goddess ever because she can't do something as simple as dancing...
... ... ...
... No. No! She will do it. Somehow. She can. If Ishtar could do it, then she can do it even better! But first, she needs to give the man some assurance: ]
I vow to help you with your task, should you have one, if you help with mine.
No problem. [ not for steve, anyway. seems like anywhere might be a problem for the lady. ] It didn't say anything about dancing, did it? We can just go to the dance floor, you can confess, and then we'll leave.
[ easy peasy, no need to worry about being recorded dancing terribly—because to be honest, steve isn't a very good dancer, and the only thing he'd be good for is making ereshkigal look better by comparison.
he shifts in the direction of the floor, but he doesn't want to start walking without ereshkigal. ]
I don't know if you could help with mine, [ he admits somewhat ruefully. ] I have to give a piggyback ride to someone old in the bathroom. [ and surely ereshkigal wouldn't be considered old, look at her, she looks to be in her mid-20s at most! ]
[ The sparkling ceases and she looks away. Someone old... She can help, but-- I-It's so embarrassing to say! ]
W-Well... Humans would say I am 6000 years old. [And those are conservative estimates. Tens if not hundreds of thousands years would be far more accurate, as far as her existence as a person is concerned. Technically billions of years is you count her age as a fundamental "concept" that has existed since life first appeared on Earth.
But!! 6000 is a good number, that's the oldest recording of her existence in human history, she's happy to pretend that's where she started. And besides she looks like a normal human woman, totally somewhere in her 20s at the very best!] Compared to the lifespan of the average human, I suppose you could consider that old...
[ She's old compared to that, but otherwise she's totally young when compared to primordial gods, alien entities and the likes. R-Really! ]
[ the sparkling's a surprise, but it happens in front of one of the people least likely to comment on it, so... there's that? honestly, it's ereshkigal's business why she sparkles. maybe she got hit by a bunch of gamma radiation and this is just what her version of radioactivity looks like, steve wouldn't know. it's impolite to comment on other people's superpowers unless they invite questions, is all.
his eyebrows slowly lower from where they'd climbed up in his hairline as she speaks, but don't let that fool you: he's still very, very surprised. at least he's somewhat used to the idea of interacting with millennia-old gods (thank you, thor, for that crash course), so he's not freaking out, but what, and i cannot stress this enough, the fuck.
if steve had a nickel for every time he'd met an ancient god, he'd have two nickels. ]
And I thought I was old. 95 sounds downright spry in comparison.
[ he's smiling, it's not rudely meant, but—good lord. ]
I think that would qualify for the slot machine, if you don't mind a piggyback ride from a stranger.
[ 95... That's pretty old for a human! She didn't think giving her age would make him sad... Because obviously he's sad, right? He was hoping he was the oldest person here and now he is not. She should say something comfort... ]
... If that's any comfort, this is old for a human.
[ There! Not sure what kind of magic he's used to keep the appearance of youth though, usually human magi totally mess up that aspect... And as for his request... A-A piggyback ride?! That sounds rather easy compared to what this place had her expect. But she can't be seen doing something like that! Then everyone will laugh at her face. ]
... Y-Yes, but only so long as no one can see it. [A pause.] It would be most shameful should the Goddess of Death be seen doing something like that.
