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.

▶ 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.

▶ 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. 💕
[ It's easy enough to get Monika moving, since this was the absolute last reaction she expected. Once the attempts to shove her away succeed, the shriek she lets out is hilarious, as is the way she eventually goes tumbling over the edge of the bed in a flurry of flailing limbs and poofy tulle. After a moment, she whines softly from the floor, holding her head. The veil vaguely cushioned the fall, but it still hurt. ]
Ow...
[ With a few more winces, she untangles herself from the layers of fabric and pushes herself upright. It takes some work to ease her loose hair out of her face, then her brain quickly gets to work, fighting to rationalize this unexpected turn of events. ]
Is everything okay? Did you think I was someone else? Because it's definitely me!
[ As such, the words "sick in the head hussy" have been stricken from her memory. Her dear Player called her "so sweet and lovely," then shoved her away after realizing how overwhelming it is to finally be together, and that's that! ]
And you-- [ Her head jerks back when she gets a glimpse of her "wife's" outfit. ] Oh. That's an interesting use of paint. How artistically macabre. Ahaha!
[ What a perfect way to show they've bonded, especially since they've had to see so much blood together. Her Player's generosity truly has no limits. ♥ ]
bound to be lots of blood~ isn't that just lovely? 🖤
[You know, it is kind of funny. At least to Ashley, who finds enjoyment in the whole harming others to feel something, or whatever. She might even find some form of joy in the act too, if it wasn't for the overall annoyance and anger thing she now has going on. Someone, somewhere, put her in bed with this weirdo, and dressed her up in...
...a wedding gown. BARF!
At the very least she was now untangled from the being known as Monika! Is that a positive? Ashely will say that it is a positive. And she's still insisting on acting like she knows her! The only gaslighter here is supposed to be Ashley herself! How dare this girl steal her thunder!?]
Paint? [She looks down, oh... yeah, "paint". Ashley makes a face... actually, no she doesn't make a face. Mainly because her being covered in blood by this point is kind of the norm? She lets it go instead, in favor of glaring daggers at her "wife". Ugh, this girl looks super preppy too. Obviously mental and obviously a prep, what a dangerous combo!
She makes a note to take her out first if Andrew ever showed. Slowly.]
I have no clue who are, you insane floozy! But I do know that you'd best get talking, or I'll get you talking.
[Comes the threat. Monika! No, that's not how this is! Grrr... this is a setup, all an elaborate setup! And this girl who dares think that she'd be generous to anyone other than herself (and Andy), is clearly in on it! Where's a knife or icepick when you need one? In fact, you know what? Ashley is going to be jumping out of that bed straight away!]
Ahaha, come on~ We don't have to play games anymore! [ Get it? Games? Because video games? Ohhh, she's such a hoot. ] You got me here, and now we don't have to be apart!
[ Time to try to standing. It's amazing she's able to do anything in her getup as it is. The best she manages is to crawl back over to the bed and cling to the edge of the mattress...only for her bride to leave it. Aww, what the heck!
No matter. Back to trying to stand. She makes a few struggling noises as she works to heft herself up. The darn underskirt's not allowing that to happen just yet, however. ]
We can't start talking until we get past the most important part! I need to--hrf!--know your name! Your real one! I mean, I know I did a little digging myself on your--hnngh!--computer, but I wasn't sure if it was just a nickname or something... [ Look at her go! Almost standing! ] You didn't mind, though, right? Anything to know more about you! Ahaha~
[No, this isn't the talking Ashley's got in mind! It's like a bride who decided to do a shotgun wedding with the first, random person she saw! She has never before seen such determination to fit a situation into their world view! Just ignore that she does that exact, same thing all the time. Or accept that it's absolutely different!
But hey, her unfortunate bed partner seems to be struggling something fierce right now! All the better, really. At least, all the better for Ashley, who goes ahead and circles around the bed to glare directly down at Monika as she's almost standing!
Excuse her as she hikes up her skirt, and-! Raises her foot to kick Monika back down.]
No, you're not listening. [Arms crossed, she continues to look down at her!] I'm pissed, is who I am. Now, who. Are. You.
[It came out as a demand, with her foot ready to kick the girl again. Ugh, she was probably not going to get anywhere like this. But whoever this is may still make for a good punching bag. Seeing as her usual, go-to isn't around. Poor, poor Monika, what a terrible(?) honeymoon!]
[ Oh, is she getting some help? At last! She just knew the shock would eventually wear off, then they could really get their lives started off righ--
Oww.
Monika wheezes out a cry of pain, then stumbles back to the floor. This was...mildly unexpected. Painful, too. Really painful, actually. Getting kicked sure hits different when you're not in a video game.
Finally, she begins to consider that this may be a tiny misunderstanding. Maybe the outfit's causing some confusion? Or is it because the Player never heard her voice? Easy enough to solve. After taking a bit more time to recover, she starts pulling herself back up, holding up a hand to fend off any further attacks. No need to attack your wife, wife! ]
It's me! Monika! Is it because I'm not in my school uniform anymore? [ Oof, ow. Her lung... ] I figured you'd be happy to finally see me out of it!
[Real life, unfortunately, hurts when you're harmed physically. It's terrible, and Ashley hates it (when it's happening to her and not someone else).
This girl's got a really thick head, doesn't she? But maybe it's starting to slowly sink in? Ashley gives another kick to that raised hand, as though it had offended her in someway.]
Monika... Monika... nope, not ringing a bell. [Her foot next goes to plant itself into the girl's stomach. Even if the two of them did meet before, well Ashley would have almost certainly forgotten all about her. She's kind of rude like that, not taking a shred of her cranial space remembering the faces or names of other girls. Well, except for maybe one or two. But that was mostly because they were easy to use against her brother.
They're all usually obstacles in her way anyway. But this chick, Ashley might just spend a bit of her grey matter to remembering. If only because she's the first that Ashley's met so far.
Isn't that just ever so very kind of her~? Almost like she's a half-decent wife! How romantic.]
So then, Monika. Where. Are. We?
[Each word would be punctuated by a swing of her leg towards Monika's abdomen. Pausing only to let her catch her breath and let her talk. What rough bedroom play!
You know, maybe. Just maybe... this isn't the Player.]
[ There's no reply for a good while. Monika's too busy moaning in pain and doing her best to protect her new squishy insides. At least the human instincts have, haha, kicked in pretty well, because she eventually managed to curl up and protect her abdomen. It's still painful as hell, but it could be worse.
More than that, however...it's stoking a small fire that's building inside of her. She's been more than kind, more than understanding. By now, the Player should know better. When you're face to face with your eternal soulmate, you don't shove them out of bed. You don't yell at them. You don't pretend you don't know them, you don't kick and kick and kick--!
One of those grunts she lets out suddenly sounds more angry than a reaction to pain. Monika manages to deflect the last kick with her arms, then pulls herself out of kicking distance. For now.
She glares a little from the floor, finding her ability to speak again as she recovers. It takes some effort, especially when she thinks she might be tasting blood. ]
I don't know where we are. How would I? [ Whoa, where'd all the cheeriness in her voice go? ] You brought me here, Player. I figured you'd tell me, though I've been assuming Las Vegas.
[ Her eyes search her immediate vicinity. Is there something she can use to defend herself? A bat, maybe? A giant dildo? ]
I think the better question is, why don't you know where we are?
oh dear lmaooo (and cw: blood talk, jic)
Ow...
[ With a few more winces, she untangles herself from the layers of fabric and pushes herself upright. It takes some work to ease her loose hair out of her face, then her brain quickly gets to work, fighting to rationalize this unexpected turn of events. ]
Is everything okay? Did you think I was someone else? Because it's definitely me!
