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.

▶ 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.

▶ 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.

[Jamil reluctantly lets himself be dragged through the hotel. He even graciously lets Kalim hold his hand, fingers tightening a little around his — just so they won't get separated again, of course.]
You think it's this way?
[That doesn't exactly sound promising, but there are worse places to be. Probably.
Still, they do eventually make it to their destination, perhaps a bit miraculously. Through the rows of flashing slot machines, down the hall.]
What sort of confessional dancing did you have in mind?
[ his sense of scale, it is completely broken. And yet, he doesn't seem bothered with this at all, as he thinks through this seriously. It's not like he hasn't danced with Jamil before, right?
this is almost cheating.
and either way, he turns to face him, keeping his hand in Jamil's and easily hooking his free arm over his shoulder ]
Maybe if we take half steps for ballroom dancing, then!
[ he could have asked what he thought, but it just didn't even occur to him. ]
[Jamil curls his free hand around Kalim's waist, shuffling his feet in slow, small steps.
Is he having fun? No, but what matters is that Kalim is — and it would be nice if they got that payout from the slot machine for this, although he won't hold his breath. Since Kalim was the one who pulled, it might only be considered his win, anyway.]
Is this what you wanted?
[Jamil grimaces as his elbow bumps against the wall. He feels ridiculous. But it's quiet, at least — quieter than the racket of the slot machines, the resort-goers, and everything else, at least.]
[ he forgets himself and nearly swings out widely-- luckily hitting his hand before he hit his head. which would have been funny, but gotta remember: don't improvise. this space was too small for that. ]
Of course it is! Well. I would have liked a bigger room, but I definitely am glad I'm dancing with you.
[ after all, Jamil was the best dancer. and in Kalim's eyes, definitely one of the hottest people he's seen at the resort, and he's seen a lot.
Of course, his watch beeps soon after he says that, noting that the credits have been deposited to his account. But Kalim isn't paying attention to that-- after all, he wasn't doing it for the credits. ]
[And that Kalim chose him to dance with. If the slots landed on any other option and Kalim decided to take off, Jamil would have probably followed. But it would have been awkward for all of them, perhaps especially for the unknown third party.]
Maybe next time the slots will offer you a bigger room.
[Or... no. No bigger room, no more ridiculous slots — not that Jamil could stop him.
He leads Kalim in a soft swaying, circling around the confessional, trying to avoid hitting the walls or stubbing his toes.]
[ he flusters for a second as the right word struggles to come to his mind, and in the end, he decides, Jamil… probably already knows? Like he definitely knows about the game, right?
Anyway, there was zero to worry about. Besides getting kidnapped. But this place was flashy and fun.
Right, he was thinking of a word ]
—romantic stuff. [ nailed it. ] But this is basically an ice breaker. Ahahaha, which I guess we don’t need!
But I’m not gonna pass up a chance to dance with you.
[That's exactly what having a weird slot machine tell you to admit a kink is, Jamil almost bites back, but he'd rather not voice those words. Not to Kalim.]
It's not terrible, anyway.
[He means the dancing, as awkward as it is. But these are more words he won't say, won't admit to.]
Are we done here?
[Jamil's hand on Kalim's waist slips down a bit before he's stepping back, pushing the door to the confessional open.
[Except of course he does. They're going to pull on the slots again, once more opening themselves to disaster.
It might be exciting for most people, but not for Jamil. If there's any kindness in the world, they'll get another weird but mostly innocent combination.]
[ Kalim is confident about this much. After all, he's already done something now with both Vil and Jamil?? Whatever the beeping of his watch means, it's probably pretty good. So, it seems unfair to insist on it again. ]
Then after this, let's get some lunch. I'm hungry.
[It's Jamil's job to make sure Kalim eats, too — and isn't poisoned — so he nods.
Play the slot machine again. Go dancing, give Kalim a piggyback ride — whatever weird result he might get. He can do this.
So Jamil pulls on the slot machine, eyes glazing over until his results click into place.
Fuck. Face. In the bridal suite.
A look of horror dawns on his face. He doesn't remember seeing these options on anyone's machines earlier, although of course there would be machines like this here. At first he tries to cover the machine with his hands, covering the word fuck, but the machine is too big, too bright, too loud, and Kalim might have already seen it anyway.]
Yeah! Vil said stuff like this was how you got money for food?
[ he says innocently enough, as Jamil pulls the lever, and then he waits. and watches Jamil's face get more and more horrified?? That's unexpected-- all the options he's seen hadn't been that bad! And so he looks at the slot machine, curious ]
Eh? What'd you get?
[ he leans around his shoulder and starts to read the results.
[Or Jamil is going to starve, anyway. It was his pull, after all.]
Did Vil happen to mention there being any other options? Surely there has to be something else.
[Did the less ludicrous machines pay out enough to sustain them? If not, that was going to be a major concern. What Jamil had deemed The Headache Resort is now quickly slipping into The Horror Resort.
He closes his eyes, rubbing at his temples.]
I don't even remember where the bridal suites are.
[This might sort of be a lie; he might not have the map of the place memorized but he knows he can ask hotel staff for help if he really wanted.
But does he want help?
Does he?]
1/? i don't know, this just feels like it needs multiple responses.
[ his face is fine. he pleads ignorance. or at least, pleads they talk about not his face for the moment, because he just realized that wasn't Jamil shutting down the entire idea, which means he was open to it too?
kalim doesn't even exactly understand what the slot machine is insisting on, but you know what. he's willing to figure it out. ]
Yeah. It was just a fancy room.
[ "fancy room" but it was basically empty when he went there, even with the fake weddings happening at the chapel. So, that's all he needs to know. ]

Take the compliment Jamil!!!!!
[ he looks around the area, recalling the drinks table and then, his eyes light up. That’s right.
And so he grabs Jamil’s hand without a second thought— no ask if he wants to try his luck again.
Just, this way. He had been hoping to dance, and he isn’t about to waste his time. ]
It’s this way!
Jamil is so stubborn and then he's like [holds Kalim's hand harder]
You think it's this way?
[That doesn't exactly sound promising, but there are worse places to be. Probably.
Still, they do eventually make it to their destination, perhaps a bit miraculously. Through the rows of flashing slot machines, down the hall.]
What sort of confessional dancing did you have in mind?
SIR pls!!
[ he admits thoughtfully. Were confessionals quiet? Or could they put on music? He vaguely remembers that it was quiet but…
Either way! Nothing they can’t think around when they get there. And it’s not like they need music to dance. ]
It’s pretty small, is the only thing…
no subject
[In retrospect, maybe Jamil should have tried to suggest somewhere else. Another shot at the slots, even.
At least it's one of Kalim's less dangerous ideas. Silly it might be, but not life threatening.]
Are we supposed to just... dance? In such a tiny space?
[Whatever might appease Kalim. Althought Jamil isn't sure what that might be, exactly.
He sighs for perhaps the hundredth time tonight.]
Well, go on, then. You wanted to dance, so let's dance.

open to the idea.
in the most cool way possible.
yeah.

[Kalim's expression very quickly goes from surprise to thinking — which should be a good sign but with Kalim, he can never be sure — to a deep flush.
Jamil can't help the embarrassment that washes over him at Kalim having such a reaction.]
So you've been there.
[He looks a little above Kalim's head. Over his shoulder. Anywhere but his face for a few moments.]
You're still standing so I assume it wasn't a den of complete debauchery.
[Although now, at the word debauchery, Jamil can't help but imagine.
Things he probably shouldn't.]

I can show you, ahahaha...

[Jamil chances a look at Kalim's face again. Brow raised.
And what might Kalim have done in that oh-so fancy room? Beyond the obvious. Maybe something like the slots Jamil got, maybe not.]
Then lead the way.
[Jamil gestures to... nothing. Everything. He's flustered, too, but he'll have to rein that in. One of them will have to, at least.]
