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. 💕
[ His fingers curl loosely against hers and he hums in thought as she rights the ruffles of his apron. ]
Once or twice. [ Kizuna admits truthfully, even if his confidence in his attire seems to suggest otherwise. His body language is lax and opening, inviting touch and exploration wherever Mona might please. ] It's not a habit, but if I need to for undercover work or when I'm on a case of some kind, I don't mind.
[ And true to his word, the costume is very well-crafted, each pin tuck, frill, and pleat perfectly executed. ]
But if it's drawing attention from people like you, maybe I should make it a habit~?
She prides herself in being perceptive—if she relied solely on divination and studying constellations to uncover truths about others, then she'd be a poor astrologist. It's best to have strengths outside of it, even if astrology is her most favorite thing in the world. ]
Ah— [ Her cheeks redden again with his comment, and she lowers her chin. ] You're teasing me, aren't you?
[ Most detectives in novels are portrayed with serious demeanors, but he—he is certainly charming. ]
Edited (you didn't see that) 2024-02-20 04:59 (UTC)
Got it in one~ very astute. [ He gives a little bow. ] Kagami Kizuna, head of Moguri Detective Agency, at your service.
[ When he rights himself, still hand in hand, he smiles. ]
And not at all. I'm new here, you know? I've wanted to meet people, but the atmosphere has been a little hectic for that...
[ What with waking up married, the new couples' mixer, the Valentine's festivities... so perhaps he means meeting people the old-fashioned way. Which he would count this as despite the outfits they're both sporting. ]
Are you also in the information business, Miss...?
[ She doesn't quite believe he's being truthful—that lilt he has is very suspicious, you know—but Mona ultimately decides to accept his response, planting her hands on her hips and nodding. Privately, she is satisfied to have 'guessed' his occupation, too. ]
Then, it is a pleasure, Kizuna. I think detectives are respectable people.
[ And he must be committed if he wears disguises. ]
As for me, that... is not entirely incorrect. My name is Mona Megistus, meaning the 'Great Astrologist Mona'. I sometimes glean information form others using divination, though it is usually for different purposes.
[ One hand comes away to make a flourishing motion, and in her palm, an orb of Hydro manifests—water, basically. ]
It is through hydromancy that I uncover certain truths.
[ For the first time in this encounter, Kizuna's expression smooths in wonder as the water emerges from her palm, his suspect affability easing back to allow him to look genuinely curious. Though he knows there are unexplained abilities everywhere, including his own, it's his first time seeing the manipulation of an element. ]
Someone else who values the truth, hmm... [ He leans in to get a closer look. ] It seems you and I might look for similar things, Mona.
[ He smiles a little more warmly this time. ]
It's very impressive looking. [ For some normie guy like him. ] Is it like scrying?
Yes, it is exactly that. I can manifest a scryglass of my own to analyze.
[ The Hydro orb quickly becomes larger under her command, and then Mona moves her hand to her front to reposition it for better viewing. Soon, it stretches out into a more distinct shape—a disk. On the water's surface, there are symbols, glyphs, and a connection of stars, glowing slightly as if to confirm how magical the summoning really is.
It took many years to master her hydromancy, but Mona is nothing but a genius. She prides herself in her skill. ]
Foretelling one's fate requires me to peer into the water, here. However, it is also possible to divulge information outside of fortunetelling.
[ Eyes rapt on the display, he watches the sphere's unfurling into its larger shape, feeling something he's never quite experienced before suffuse his emotions. Magic, the flow of stars — and behind it, the grounding humanity. Her pride, passion, diligence.
He likes this, the reflections of a calm cosmos. It's much different than the internal waters he knows, heated and suffocating. That thought doesn't cloud his expression. ]
I'd say so too. A little like having an ace up your sleeve... that's fitting.
[ Kizuna isn't showing his hand just yet, but his frivolity seems to have mellowed a bit. ]
[ Mona preens under the positive attention, her expression just as bright as her scryglass. ]
I do. Astrology is my passion, and I could never tire of looking at the stars themselves.
[ She's lost count of how many hours she has spent under them, staring up at the wide, endless sky, her gaze aptly following each lovely constellation and the mini cosmos within them. It's everything to her; without astrology, she'd likely feel displaced and empty.
Yes, if Kizuna is quietly absorbing her emotion, then he must feel that intensity—fierce and unrelenting. ]
Though, it's best not to be entirely reliant on it. Adopting other skills is important, too.
[ That is why Mona does not reveal her competency in combat, using her Hydro Vision to defend herself against others if need be. ]
That's a smart way to go about it. You don't want to dull your passions by making them too mundane in your life. [ Knowingly, his golden eyes flash over the scryglass, its reflection playing off his features. ] Or to give them away too freely.
[ Do as I say and not as I do — he's aware of the irony in saying so, but the brilliance of such emotions are to him what the stars are to her. Endless, lovely, worth as long as he can spare to look at them. ]
If you would ever like your fortune told, you are free to request a reading from me.
[ But given how strange of a place the two of them ended up in, it might just make the participant nervous.
Mona waves her hand and dispels her scryglass in a scatter of droplets. Showing her ability off had been a welcome distraction from, well, everything, really. Its familiarity reminded her that she is still herself no matter the universe. ]
Now, let us be on our way. I trust you to lead.
[ What will he select for her to wear? She's admittedly curious. ]
Ah, can I? I'd like that. If I can't know what the cards have in store for me, it'd make me feel better to know what the stars have to say.
[ And that's more than just lip service, no matter how pretty it might sound — he'd like to see what the process looks like. It seems like it's already helped just to talk about, which sets him at ease as much as it does her.
But he's content to tuck that offer away for later, expression brightening. ]
Right this way. Have you had the chance to look around at all yet?
