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. 💕
[The sudden movement takes Mingjue off guard. At least with a sword he had been used to the motion of slowly lifting off into the air. With an elevator he wasn't expecting the slight jolting motion.
But he was quick to regain himself, standing up straight and poised, as if trying to pretend as if he didn't lose his balance for just a moment.]
So it's a lever of some sort? Perhaps they have people pull it at the bottom? Or some sort of power source like the workout machines back in the last place I was in...
[Really, despite being so simple it was all quite fascinating to him! He wanted to figure it out and see how it all clicked together.
At least until the machine jolted to a sudden stop!]
Eh? Have we arrived?
[But although he looked towards the door, waiting, nothing seemed to happen.]
[ Xiao Xingchen has to cover his mouth with his hand to keep from giggling at Nie Mingjue's reaction to the elevator starting to move. He makes no mention of it either to save the man's pride.
Besides, when the elevator comes to a sudden stop, it's Xiao Xingchen's turn to lose his balance. With a surprised little noise he automatically reaches out to grab at the other man's arm for support. Once he realizes what he's done, he blushes a little and lets go. ]
Apologies. And... I don't think so? [ He frowns as he presses one of the buttons on the console, one that looks like it depicts a pair of doors, but nothing happens. ]
How strange...
[ That's when something even stranger happens as they can both hear a voice coming from behind them - a young woman lamenting how she had been painted while still a virgin, and has needs that she wishes to see satisfied. It takes a moment before Xiao Xingchen realizes that the voice is coming from the portrait behind them on the wall! ]
[Where Mingjue showed obvious surprise with the elevator, the confrontation of the talking portrait was something he managed to comprehend quite easily. His expression suddenly serious and his gaze intense as he watched the young woman in the frame lament her sorrows.
Was the portrait possessed perhaps?]
And what does any of that have to do with us?
[Mingjue did not hold back, instead asking directly. Considering the topic of her complaints he already had a decent feel of what this was leading towards.
"If I cannot indulge of pleasures of the flesh, I may as well watch. Share with me the sexual delight you can so freely enjoy whenever you please."]
I see. I thought as much.
[He says with an absolutely calm disposition, despite what it was she was requesting of them.]
[ Xiao Xingchen is quite taken aback by what the lady in the portrait is saying - though he might be even more so by how calm Nie Mingjue is about it. He frowns. ]
And if we refuse?
[ Then the elevator will remain standing here, comes the answer that Xiao Xingchen had honestly expected. Flushing, he turns to the other man. ] So, what do we do?
[There was a moments pause as Mingjue had contemplated the situation they've now found themselves in. Unlike himself, Xingchen was not used to a place with such physically taxing requirements. And if he remembered correctly, before he last showed up in Reparacijia, Xiao Xingchen had no sexual experience.
That is if this one and the one he knew even shared that in common.
Fuck this was confusing.
None the less, Mingjue knew that there were only two ways out of such a situation, physical force or compliance. And when handling malicious spirits that were still sentient, it was always best to at least try the most peaceful option first.]
If that's what the young lady wishes to free her from her discontent, what more can we do as proper cultivators?
[He kept his eyes focused on the portrait. His expression serious and direct upon her.]
You may turn away if you like, Young Master Xingchen. I would not wish to have you forced into something against your will nor would I wish you to see anything that you do not want.
[He took a step forward, lifting his head with confidence.]
I will take you up on your offer so long as you give my friend here an option to step away.
[ Xiao Xingchen's eyes widen as Nie Mingjue offers himself up like that. It's quite touching, actually, but it also makes him feel bad. It's true that he lacks much in the way of sexual experience, but would it really be right to let the other man do this all on his own?
And, would the portrait lady even be satisfied with that? ]
Master Nie... [ He says hesitantly, glancing up at the maiden in the portrait. What a strange situation they find themselves in! ] Are you certain about this?
[Mingjue offered a curt nod, his eyes not averting from the young maiden in the portrait as she lay leisurely waiting for their decision. She even let out a bored little yawn as she watched them try to sort things out.]
The first rule of exorcising ghosts is to relieve them of the needs which hold them of this realm. If it is simply because the young lady is frustrated, I will be happy to offer myself if it means we need not take up arms in such tight quarters.
[It was only then that he broke his gaze, quickly glancing towards Xingchen, his expression surprisingly serious.]
I have been in similar circumstances before. So, I am okay with offering myself. I also do not wish to infringe on your safety or dignity.

[ He follows the other man into the elevator and glances around. It really is quite pretty inside. ]
I suppose it's not any stranger than flying on a sword.
[ He laughs a little as he randomly presses one of the floor buttons. The doors to the elevator slide shut and it starts to ascend. ]
Oh, we're moving!
