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.

▶ 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. 💕
Hm. I see. [ he does see it. it's very apparent to him. and hung quietly raises his own hand, being careful to not accidentally nudge pinocchio any further. there's such limited real estate inside that... even his tail is having a struggle! that when he tries to stretch his legs, he's not sure if the creaking he hears is some part of the man he's sitting next to or if it's the booth itself trying not to break. ]
Hope mine is somewhere I can see. It's a little difficult, you know?
[ chuckles sheepishly as he unconsciously tries to reach back and rub the back of his own neck but finds that... again, spatial restriction. ]
[ Hung is a wall of muscle and fur, and Pinocchio's insides are mostly metal, their combined weight probably should tax the structural integrity of a flimsy wooden booth. Yet the confessional has probably been home to more strenuous and vigorous abuse than two very heavy guests sitting quietly inside it. The way Hung fills the cramped space has the puppet growing more aware of everywhere they almost touch. He should feel cornered and on alert, not sitting here speculating on how soft that tail and those ears appear to be.
(He's not even a dog person, he prefers cats! Speaking of, Hung's coloration kind of reminds him of someone.)
As Hung explains, with a sheepish chuckle, that he's hoping his suit appears somewhere convenient, Pinocchio feels a smile start to turn up the corners of his mouth. The lower ranks like him share a communal bath, and he's spied marks that would be difficult to see without the use of a few mirrors, has overheard complaints about the challenges posed by their placement.
I'm Hung, he says. Due to some unique personal circumstances involving a "blessing" granted by the House a month ago, that seems to him a different kind of admission than a name. (Don't look down. Don't look down don't look down don't—)
He fails to resist glancing down, if briefly. To his credit, he has one hell of a poker face. ]
Your name is Hung? [ he hazards to guess, ] Mine's Pinocchio.
[ Yes, as in the titular character in the most famous story in Krat. ] Are the staff harassing you out there?
[ wow, what about his fur color is familiar? curious... curious..........
unfortunately by looking down, all pinocchio will see is exactly what makes his namesake an ironic and truthful one. that there's nothing left to the imagination; normally he would wear an extra covering that protects his waist and thighs, but in this day and age in the resort that they must live in? just pants. pants that fit well except for where it counts and that area is. tight. and he's not even thinking about anything but how unfortunate it is that he can't do a lot of moving?
it's definitely an interesting name to have, hung muses, but for the most part? it doesn't have any extra meaning. ]
Uh. Kind of? I mean, they seem friendly. But it's the kind of friendly that makes you think. And then you think about the thinking. You know what I mean?
[ a beat as one of his ears raises slightly. ]
Oh, gotta ask you a question. Do you need oil? I keep hearing squeaks.
[ it's kind of a joke but also like he doesn't know. be nice ]
[ Now burdened with the gift of cursed knowledge, Pinocchio calmly attempts to put his new awareness out of his mind. This, of course, means questions regarding the day-to-day logistics of handling (no, not that word) living with such an endowment has a way of intruding. Along with thoughts like that looks like it hurts.
Barely has his name and already spending an inexcusable amount of time speculating on the quality of life impacts of—
He shuffles in his seat, starting to lift one foot in an attempt to shift, or maybe swing it over his other knee, but there's not much room in here now that most of the free space is presently taken up by a large, affable Wildcard. When Hung continues, pointing out that the staff are friendly in a way that makes one question it, he looks up at him with a reluctant nod. If he means he's suspicious of it all, he's in good company. Pinocchio doesn't trust any cage, gilded or otherwise.
Oh, that ear-lift is cute. He begins to smile a little, then it falls into something more guarded. (He didn't get the joke...)
Of course, those ears are sharp. The puppet has been lucky — barely anyone's picked up on the sound of clockwork and fewer still have concluded he's not like everyone else. Most look to his arm as the source and no further. ]
This? [ says Pinocchio as he lifts his metal arm, the rust-stained steel covering it glinting dully, ] It hasn't been maintained in a while, [ one lie, one truth, and now, one deflection: ] You have a horn.
[ hey, it's good to be a knower! it's good to recognize what you're working with. and as long as hung is around, he'll unconsciously make people understand why he's the way he is. a big heart. a caring personality. a stalwart companion. and... he's got a big one. he's got two horns. one is better for loving.
which is why hung laughs sheepishly and shrugs his broad shoulders and does his best not to ring pinocchio's bell at the same time when he adjusts. he doesn't want that point of interest that the other brought up to be easily ignored now--- after all, he's the one who shows casual and polite interest when hung was probably a little too on the nose?
but that arm though! ]
Oh! Really? I mean, if you need help with it... I might be able to help. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I'm usually the one that has to repair things when elbow grease is involved.
[ he's positive it wouldn't be as simple as tightening a screw or spraying a little lubricant in a ball joint but when it comes to learning from doing? hung's pretty good at that. and if he's not? persistence is key. ]
And I do have a horn. You can touch it if you'd like!
[ Here they are, crammed into a confessional neither of them knew was, in fact, designed for two people - as long as they occupied separate compartments. ]
... [ Staring at Hung for a moment, Pinocchio realizes that he's being sincere, ] I'm. I'm just rank 2. I don't play the Game often. I can't really afford to pay you.
[ Not unless he plays again. Not unless the House pays him out a small stipend like they seem to do at the beginning of each month. No. There has to be a catch. Even as friendly a face as Hung's could be disguising a trap.
Pinocchio's right hand closes over his steely left forearm with mild suspicion, his blue eyes lifting to that aforementioned horn. He's hungry to try it, but... ] What will my curiosity cost?
