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. 💕
Is that what it's like for you? It must be lonely.
[ Shifting slightly in her seat, Navia looks up at Wriothesley' ice-blue eyes and wonders what his life has been like in the Fortress. Their paths have never really crossed before, whether by accident or intent, so she knows next to nothing about him beyond his title and his rank, and that he'd worked his way up from the bottom to earn them with blood and sweat.
Leaning in, she presses a chaste kiss to his cheek and sets her head on his shoulder. She doesn't want to make him more uncomfortable, however, or impose unduly on his time, so she slides out of his lap once the tears have dried from her cheeks. If Navia is anything, she is pragmatic. ]
We should probably get dressed. It's a shame, there don't seem to be any hats in this selection of garments.
Hmm. Is it? I wonder... [It's a non answer. Wriothesley just had things he always needed to get done. Something on his place that he works through.
And the man didn't know how to drop his defenses. He didn't know how to take those moments for himself because he hadn't had the luxury to before. Life had dealt him a bad hand and he had made something out of it despite that. Of course, there were just a few doors that had closed because of it. Things he can't get back and things he doesn't know how to seek.
The sweet skinship is nice though. His body is always hungry for it, so he almost misses it when she slides away. The weight and warmth that had settled on him is now gone. Ah, well, the whole thing was to make sure she was okay.]
We can go down to the department store to pick something out after. [He moves to get to his feet. Right. Getting dressed.] Well, I hope they moved my clothes with me, or I'm about to have to make a long trip to the basement looking like this.
[This being a guy wearing wedding lingerie with no room for the imagination. These things happen apparently.]
[ Navia's expression takes on a hint of exasperation at Wriothesley's non-answer, but he doesn't owe her anything. If he wants to keep that information to himself, it's his right to do so, regardless of how emotionally vulnerable she'd made herself with her tears. He was kind to indulge her, and he doesn't have to talk about his feelings in return.
When Wriothesley stands up from the bed, Navia makes a pointed effort to keep her eyes in respectful places. The messages on their watches might say they're married, but a few words on a tiny screen (or even rings on their fingers) don't mean anything in practical terms. ]
I can help you look. But... maybe we could eat first?
[ Navia's stomach growls at the sight of the breakfast spread that's been set out for them. There's more food than either of them would likely be able to finish in one sitting: sweet and savory pastries filled either with ham and cheese or fruit compote, pain au chocolat and croissants filled with almond paste, and crepes topped with sweet, creamy cheese and jam; scrambled and poached eggs and omelets; thinly-sliced radishes on buttery toast; a large charcuterie board piled high with fruit, thinly-sliced cured meats and cheeses, and various sauces and spreads. Beside that, there's a whole plateful of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Fortunately for both of their dignity, Navia spots a pair of His and Hers robes folded neatly by the food, so she hands Wriothesley the much larger one and slips into the smaller. ]
I've always wanted to get married, but I never imagined it would be like this.
[Sorry, Navia. It's probably no surprise that Wriothesley will avoid talking about it. He had always been this way, keeping his issues as only his. He's content with his life, anyways. If it's just a bit lonely, it's fine. It's better than it ever has been.
The growl of Navia's stomach makes Wriothesley bark out pleased laughter though.]
Of course, of course. Eating is important and I would say that you should also hydrate yourself. [He's sure that her body will be more than happy to accept some nourishment after their cry. He also isn't opposed to eating, especially with the rather wondrous spread left for them.
He gets rid of the sheer gown that was offering nothing in terms of coverage and slips on the robe Navia has handed him.]
Ah, sorry to disappoint. This probably isn't the extravagance and emotionally sweeping moment you were expecting. [After all, she probably has a list of people she would rather marry than him. Self deprecating? Of course not. He's just being realistic given that Navia and him have very little between them.] Though the spread in food is impressive. They really are far kinder this time around.
[ It's a little bit easier to relax now that they both have more fabric covering their nakedness. Not that Wriothesley isn't attractive--that's part of the problem. Now that the possibility has been introduced, she keeps wondering what it would really be like to be held and touched by him, but perhaps it's better not to think of such things.
Still, she cants her head at him when he apologizes for their current predicament. ]
That isn't something you need to be sorry for, surely. It's not your fault that we're here. And, given that I could have ended up with a complete stranger, I'm glad it was you instead. You're someone I know I can trust.
[ She smiles at him in a reassuring way, fiddling with a device that looks like an electric kettle before sitting down as well. They can have some tea with their breakfast once the water boils. ]
