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. 💕
[ In a bit of good fortune, Joon wakes up first. Who the hell is that? What the hell is she wearing?
As quietly as she can, she extracts herself from the bed, stops to grab a bottle of champagne, then drains a third of it as she makes her way around to the other side. Then, the lucky spouse-to-be is awoken by a short girl in white lingerie splashing champagne in their face. ]
Wake up! Who the hell are you? Where are my clothes?!
- Sweet Surrender -
[ Okay, basics secured. The kidnapping angle is a little worrisome, but more important than that: There's a whole world of new rubes waiting to be swindled. Let's test the waters!
There's a small riot breaking out over those foreign sweets already. Perfect territory. Now, she just needs a victim... how about you? ]
Yoo-hoo! Could you do me a favor?
[ Joon puts on her cutest face, and cranks her ability up to full power. If affected, her victim will be captured by a sudden urge to recklessly spend money on her. Or, if not her, to spend money in general. Of course, depending on the player's preferences, the ability might not work at all. ]
I saw some awfully nice sweets over there, but I have no money, and with my frail constitution, if I were to wade into the fray, I'd surely perish... could I presume to ask you to get me a box or two?
- Elevator of Love -
[ It's the teasing trio that hijack Joon's elevator. Normally she'd be more indignant, but she's never used an elevator before - she only took this route because the alternative would have been admitting that she didn't know how it works. All things considered, she's feeling pretty rattled. ]
Wh... Why did it stop? Are we there? Hello?!
[ "Aw, look at these two cuties! Maybe if they show us a little love, maybe a bit of flirting, maybe the elevator will start working again!" And so on. Joon glares daggers at the portraits, then shrugs, and turns to her temporary partner. ]
Well, if they insist! By all means, I give you permission to shower me with affection.
- Everything's Gucci -
[ Judging by how hard she's brawling in the gothic lolita department, Joon was lying about her frail constitution. This isn't her normal style, but it looks fancy and expensive, and that means she wants it. Paying for it... well, she can figure that out later. ]
What are you-- hey! Don't put your hands on me, you background character! You'll get your poor people stink all over-- HEY!
[ And with that, Joon is shoved into a cramped dressing room with a total stranger, who probably heard that whole outburst. ]
This is absurd! One of us should complain to the manager.
...But, if they aren't gonna let me have this without trying it on, I'd better try it on. Turn around.
[This isn't the first time Arianna has been abruptly woken up by an "attack" of sorts, and she snaps back to full consciousness quickly... to her confusion, because it is the first time this has happened to her in bed and she doesn't remember being here before, and it's also the first time a girl in... underwear? has been involved. She sits up and stares at her in confusion, responding after she's had a few seconds to process what she's looking at and what she's been asked.]
...my name is Arianna, and I know not where your clothes are. Might I ask who you are, as well?
[She's wearing matching lingerie, incidentally, but she hasn't thought to look down at herself yet.]
[She is still wearing the white feather boa that came with the outfit. Just because you've woken up dressed in fetish gear is no reason to not try to look amazing about it.]
I've never been here before, and you're the only other person around, sleeping peacefully like nothing was wrong. Don't you agree that that makes you pretty suspicious?
[Arianna wouldn't be able to argue with that reasoning if she was aware of it. Hell, I can't argue with it. Joon is 100% right about looking good.
The reasoning she is aware of, she can argue with just fine.]
But from my perspective, is the same not true of you? I've suddenly awakened in-- [She glances around. Nope, this is definitely neither the Flaus Inn nor her bedroom at the palace in Caledonia.] --some unknown place, and you are the only one here.
[She is very pleased with herself for having worked this out right away.]
[Really the more obvious explanation is that they were both captured. If this girl captured her, why would they be snuggling in bed together?
Now the challenge is: How to de-escalate without having to admit she was wrong?]
Let's set aside the issue of who is or isn't suspicious for now. I'm Joon Yorigami, the... [ Don't call yourself a pestilence goddess while you're trying to not act suspicious! ] I mean, just a passing minor goddess. If neither of us know how we got here, then we should probably join forces temporarily to solve this mystery.
Mystery part 1: If someone kidnapped us, what's with the fancy wine and gifts?
[Oh, she acknowledged it! Now Joon has validated Arianna's self-satisfaction. Dangerous, really.
But in this case the danger passes quickly as Arianna is distracted by something else Joon said.]
Gracious--please wait a moment--that is, I am Arianna Caledonia, a passing minor princess I suppose, but before solving any mysteries I must return to your being a "goddess!" I cannot simply move past that so easily!
Oh, that's not really a big deal, is it? There's gods for everything these days. My sister Shion is a goddess of poverty, and that's not really anything worth celebrating at all.
Of course it is a big deal! How could it not be? I've not heard about any of this!
[For a second there Arianna was a little upset, but over the course of her protests they stop being protests and she starts to feel more excited.]
I expect it goes without saying, then, that I've also not met a goddess before. If I may ask, what manner of address is considered proper? I can pray if necessary.
[She hasn't forgotten their situation, but she's not especially thinking about it now.]
[Of course, sometimes a princess has money in theory but in practice she doesn't currently have access to it because she's in a completely different place now. And sometimes, in especially weird circumstances, that somehow happens twice.]
Perhaps simply "Lady Joon." I don't expect introducing you as a goddess of pestilence will make a good impression on others.
[Ah, what a funny feeling. The desire to splurge for another. Usually it takes Aak pulling some big sad eyes, or Hung complaining about a lack of ingredients to get him to do it. God, he's gotten soft in his old age.]
No need. I snagged a box already.
[He pulls it out of his coat, waving it idly. He doesn't give it to her quite yet.]
I'm not really one for sweets, anyway. But you could have just asked, if you didn't want to brave the crowd. [She doesn't seem as frail as she says, but... eh. Whatever.
He holds the box out to her.] I'd temper your expectations. I doubt they're as good as the criers claim.
[Her projected image of someone cute and hapless is broken quickly when she tries to snatch the box before he gives it to her. After that, she does hear him out before taking it.]
I did ask, didn't I? Let's see...
[Without so much as a thank you, she pops it open and eats one. Her eyebrows pop up - they don't have even normal chocolate in Gensokyo, let alone anything like this.]
Wow, this is amazing! I didn't have to temper my expectations at all!
