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. 💕
[ Do you corner Reno in coat closets for makeouts often, Rufus?
He lets their positions be flipped when Rufus finally makes his move, although he’d been expecting that. The blond seemed like a man who liked being in control - something Sylvain recognized all too easily, since he’s normally the same. But he doesn’t mind giving way in certain situations. Usually if the outcome looks fun.
which… this definitely counts.
He just grins at the quip, laughter glinting in amber eyes as he tips his head to one side, as if considering his answer, even if they both know what it is already. ]
Regardless, the fact that he doesn't meet resistance is what solidifies his decision; all things considered, this might be one of the better possible outcomes that could've arisen from the slot machines altogether. He's in control, and he's engaging in it with someone who seems both a spitfire but willing to follow along, and even better still, with an acute awareness of how devoid of strings this all is meant to be. This will be easy, and brisk, and —
...actually, maybe even a little fun. Perish the thought.]
You know what they say about curiosity.
[Something about killing the cat. But in this case, it's less killing and more that one of Rufus's hands comes up to hold Sylvain's face beneath the jaw, applying pressure to either side so that it'd be difficult for him to bite down, while the other presses its thumb into his mouth and rests lightly on his tongue.]
[ If you’re not having fun, Rufus, why are you playing this game in the first place? Isn’t that the point? ]
I’m not a cat.
[ Sylvain manages to point this out with a laugh before those hands come to grasp against his face and his lips part even without the encouragement from the other man. When his thumb slips past Sylvain’s lips, he closes his mouth around it, tongue teasing along the underside with an easy skill and confidence as he playfully sucks at the digit.
He doesn’t actually know what challenge Rufus had got to send him to the coat closet, but considering the other times he’d been in here had been for things very sexual, he’d been thinking it was that. Something meant to earn that bigger payout, in fact. ]
[This is the part where the slot machines become fairly unspecific in their design. They're in the coat closet, and his finger is without a doubt engaged with Sylvain's face, but outside of that there isn't a whole lot of context about how long or how far this needs to go in order to secure the payout he's after. Not that it's altogether unpleasant — rather the contrary, actually — but still. He wouldn't be Rufus Shinra if there weren't a part of him constantly keeping his eye on the prize.]
No cream for you, then.
[Since it seems like he's not inclined to bite, and that he's quickly picking up on the general idea, the hand that's holding Sylvain's jaw loosens and shifts, sliding around to rest at the back of his neck instead. The thumb in his mouth presses back against the explorations of his tongue, letting it tease for a few seconds before stroking back in kind.
It's not...hot, exactly, so much as it is suggestive — which he supposes is hot but in a more abstract sort of way. It's interesting, to say the least, and easy to read as a precursor to more if he thought there was any chance of this escalating — but that wasn't part of the deal, and who knows how far this might go, all told.]
[ He hadn’t been inclined to bite. And then you said that.
When one of those hands slips away at the same time, freeing his jaw, Sylvain’s gaze narrows at the taunt before his teeth bite down. Although it’s more of a teasing bite than a painful one.
If he had been a cat, he would definitely be showing his claws right now.
[He says, somewhere halfway between annoyed and indulgent — approving of the spite, but he still could've done without the threat to his thumb. He curls his fingers into a firmer grip at the back of Sylvain's neck, almost like scruffing a pet if one were to bear out the metaphor even longer, but then shifts his positioning to shove a leg between Sylvain's thighs as if testing to see the reaction he gets.]
But we're just getting started. Don't ruin the fun now.
[ He lets the man’s thumb slip from his mouth with a quiet pop and he’s back to smirking again - he hasn’t missed the way the man’s tried to scruff the back of his neck, either, and that really is taking this comparison to its limits.
But he just slides one of his legs back between Rufus’ in return, even as he playfully grinds against that thigh that Rufus had so conveniently offered. ]
Oh, I had no intention of quitting just yet. Were you?
[Which means by extension he doesn't do people halfway either. Presumably. The opportunity to claim a little friction while he works is nice, if a big unexpected; with his focus more on making sure he satisfies the requirements of the slot machine, he hadn't really bothered to consider much the idea of getting off on any of this, himself.
It might help, though. It's clearly what's intended. And his companion seems willing enough.
He presses his thumb to Sylvain's lips again, a bit like he's awaiting invitation this time.]
[ Sylvain takes a moment as if to consider the man in front of him. Or maybe the order itself.
But with a glint of dark humor in amber eyes, he eventually acquiesces, parting his lips and dutifully sucking that digit into his mouth. And if his tongue teases it a lot more obscenely than a thumb would normally warrant…
Well. No one could accuse Sylvain of doing things halfway, either. ]
