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. 💕
Still proving my mettle, I imagine. Hopefully my review comes back favorable.
[It's an interesting request, though; certainly one that Rufus makes note of, just for the sake of the added context it lends to the strategy of Game 52. On its face, a lower rank and suit might come with personal disadvantages, but there are still ways of leveraging it in terms of desirability to others. Worth incorporating into his greater design, to be sure.
Of course, he'll still have to get his numbers first.]
I'm not opposed to those terms.
[Mostly because the way the man lays them out, Rufus technically wins twice, so...]
Provided my compliance isn't unconditional. A mutual second encounter on mutually-agreed terms. Mostly for scheduling purposes, you understand.
Of course not. I wouldn't be so demanding as to prevent you from gaining as much benefit as possible. Though I couldn't blame you for making sure, naturally.
[This is certainly a businessman, or at least one that knows how to work out these things. It's all very transactional, which is fine by Daan; that's a bit familiar anyway, and he can work with it easily.
It reminds him somewhat of the other nobles that would visit the baron, but not as intensely. For the better, really.]
Daan. So you know who to ask for, should the opportunity arise for claiming each other's cards.
[The offer of a name gives him a lightning-fast moment of pause, during which he considers: when it comes to offering his own, is he Rufus, or is he Rufus Shinra? It's not as though his name means much here, but at the same time, going immediately to a first-name basis could have its own ramifications come their second encounter.
Better not to hide, he eventually decides. What is he, a coward?]
Rufus Shinra. Likewise.
[It's still an odd thing, to not be recognized almost immediately on sight. He shrugs the sensation off, regarding Daan thoughtfully.]
As for what you can do? Open your mouth, and don't ask too many questions.
[There's another curious gaze in Daan's eye as he observes Rufus, easily memorizing the name. This is the kind of man, probably, who is used to things going his way. He commands easily enough, and his approach initially implied it as well.
Or Daan could just be overthinking the hell out of it. Not impossible either way. Regardless, they have an agreement and Daan will fulfill his side of it.]
Just like this, then. No kneeling or whatever? [He forms a coy smile.] Well, you did just say not to ask too many questions. My bad.
[And so, Daan does as told. After licking his lips, he opens his mouth for Rufus.]
[But it gets a hint of a smile out of him, the willingness to adhere to the whole "not asking questions" bit, and so when he moves it's not as sharp or rapid as it could've been — it's methodical, giving Daan just enough of an opportunity to catch on to what he's doing before he does it, pushing him into the nearest wall as two fingers slide into his mouth.
The thing about this particular demand is that there are ways it could be incredibly attractive, and ways it could just be something to suffer through. He's more than a little curious to see which way it will go with Daan, who seems both receptive enough and aware of how these sorts of things are supposed to work, in contract to Rufus's far more efficient perspective on how to deal with them.]
[Well, not the weirdest thing to go into his mouth after getting shoved against a wall. There's a brief pause, mostly to settle with the feeling of fingers in his mouth covered by a leather glove. It's not a bad taste, actually.
After coming to terms with his situation -- really, it isn't bad at all -- Daan looks directly at Rufus before slowly rolling his tongue against his fingers, then pressing between them. There isn't a shred of shyness in his body language, just a hint of him being crafty and unwavering as is gaze doesn't break from Rufus' face.]
[The slot machines aren't subtle about the fact that encounters like this are intended to be sexual, in some shape or form. The fact that this one is slightly less explicit than most likely doesn't absolve him of that fact; really, it's probably all the more reason to play it up, just to ensure that the resort's demands are satisfied. But at least he seems to have found someone willing to play along with the idea — holding eye contact, doing a bit to get into it himself. Following the unwritten script and giving him ample opportunity to make the next move.]
Seems you're not too opposed, either.
[It's a light taunt, offered like a warning as he leans a little more into it, first pushing his fingers a touch deeper before drawing them back again in the beginnings of a slow, obscene rhythm designed to very clearly inspire thoughts of something else.]
[It's not as if Daan has been subtle about his body language, but nonetheless he's glad to see Rufus pick up on it. There's a hint of a sharp smile from Daan, or as much as there can be one with his mouth occupied; he can easily pick up on the lewd connotation of the fingers pushing in and out.
Lightly, he bites down a bit on those fingers. Hardly enough to do anything -- not that he could through leather -- but enough to emphasize a bit of playfulness. His lips press a bit more tightly, and Daan begins to bob his head slowly after the fingers in his mouth, the implications quite clear.]
