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?!

WAKING UP IN … PEACOCK?

▷ New arrivals waking up temporarily assigned suites will find themselves in a unique situation. Instead of the resort’s standard terrycloth robe, they are waking up in wedding clothes. Players may select any article(s) of wedding clothing they would like their character to be dressed in, from the western wedding dress or tux to sexy wedding night lingerie and matching fuzzy boa. The resort pulls influences from across cultures and worlds so there is no limitation on choices.

▷ These temporary rooms are the coveted ACE & JACK RANK SUITES. These junior penthouses are spacious, lavish, and generously stocked with amenities. Not a terrible situation to find oneself in despite waking up with a stranger in a strange place. The problem is that these guests aren't just any pair. Not just any pairs: guests waking up together have been marked in the reservation system as newlywed couples. Reception will correct this mistake in their system by official check in, but for now these new guests are getting VIP treatment thanks to their recent nuptials.

▷ The message sent through the Watch isn't the only congratulations waiting for new arrivals. Temporary suites are outfitted in balloons, streamers, champagne on ice, chocolate covered strawberries, and handsomely wrapped gifts. Players are welcome to customize the extent of their honeymoon welcome.

WELCOMING THE NEW COUPLE

Never let it be said that guest services at the Golden Peacock are lacking. In the whirlwind of waking up in a luxury resort, new guests will find that the staff have arranged for them a variety of delights. There are no notes explaining why they have been kidnapped or any signs of their missing items. Instead, they may find:

▷ THE RINGS: A glittering pair of wedding bands. Guests waking up together will find matching rings either on their ring finger or in small velvet boxes on one of the tables. The wedding rings possess a temporary charm. Wearers will be able to share their emotions with their pair through a bond. This is a temporary charm that will fade over a few hours. When the charm is gone these rings will only be expensive jewelry.

▷ THE PRESENTS: A pile of wrapped boxes that have been left for the happy couple. Every item inside is meant to help facilitate a kink. Players are encouraged to make up whatever they would like their characters find in these boxes.

▷ THE BREAKFAST SPREAD: A small breakfast spread for two laid out in the main sitting area of the massive suite. All of the dishes in the breakfast spread are finger foods. Players are welcome to make up their own sensual spread. With the VIP treatment in place no meal request is too large.

FELLOW NEWLYWEDS

▷ Main elevator hubs of the junior penthouse floors have been transformed into wedding lounges. The typical gold lobbies are now crisp white and studded with an array of tufted couches, furry rugs, draped silks, and sparkling balloons scripted to the tune of HAPPY WEDDING, LOVE, and HONEYMOON TIME. Tables feature complimentary mimosas.

▷ Each wedding lounge has several racks of clothing available for new arrivals select from without charge. Unlike the previous batch of new arrivals, these new guests will find that their complimentary finery are articles of high quality fabrics from expensive Golden Peacock brands. Velvet robes are similarly available for guests who may want to sit back and relax with a glass of bubbly in the lounge.

▷ New arrivals that decide to gather in the lounge may end up prey to eager staff. These employees will encourage them to talk to other guests. Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you can’t start filling your 52 deck right away! Some staff members may even give pairs a wink and a nudge toward one of the empty junior penthouse suites. They won’t tell your spouses where you are if you want to go have a little fun.

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.

FROM THE ENDLESS HALLWAYS TO... BREEDING GROUNDS?

▷ Re-arrivals will be splashing down into the depths of Crane's Respite. It is dim, with the occasional lantern offering faint glow to keep guests from being completely in the dark. The waters are black and the walls are cragged, reminiscent of the mouth of a real cave.

▷ The labyrinth is more challenging down here. There are too many corridors that lead to pockets and alcoves. These watery tunnels are eerily quiet; guests dropped in from the endless hallways will only hear the splashing of other guests.

▷ The water is cold and salty, unlike the usual comfortable baths in the spa. Guests may find cut outs in the stone with folded towels. These towels are dusty and stained, not having been replaced for quite some time. There are sporadic ledges for guests to huddle on if they wish to get out of the water.

▷ Guests are not alone. Shapes dart beneath black water. They tangle with each other in voracious excitement until they notice there are others. An ominous tentacle surfaces, reaching out...

ABOUT THE OCTOPI

▷ Juvenile octopi are the size of a hand or smaller. These juveniles are friendly and affectionate; guests may find that these new friends will help guide them toward the upper levels of the spa. They like to adorably attach to guests, but some guests may have an allergic reaction to these small octopi. A flush of heart shaped marks may break out across a character's skin and cause intense itchiness. While rubbing against the walls can help ease the irritation, guests will find that the most relief comes when they rub against someone else. Rashes are mild and will recede quickly with enough rubbing on someone else.

▷ Mature octopi are aggressively mating. Catching sight of frisky octopus sex is imminent. Quick motion is liable to draw the attention of these sex-fueled cephalopod. Guests may find themselves chased by dozens of amorous tentacles.

▷ Mature octopi are free lovers and will try to snag two or more guests at once for some sweet lovemaking via tentacles and suction cups. These octopi also secrete a stimulant that triggers arousal and/or heightened sensitivity in genitals. Guests who manage to get free from their would-be lovers may still find themselves experiencing physical effects of the DIAMONDS SUIT.

▷ The old-timer octopi are relaxing in the shallow areas of the tunnels and watching the youth have their fun. Ho ho ho, to be young and horny!

OTHER SECRETS OF THE DEEP

▷ FLUORESCENT MUSHROOMS: Fluorescent mushrooms grow along the bottom crease of the deeper tunnels. If eaten, guests will find their stomachs are growling in confusion before they break out into scales. Players may give their character any level of aquatic traits they would like. The water magic of the mushroom will fade in an hour.

▷ THE UNDERWATER CAVE: A cave deep beneath the water, accessed through a narrow hole. Seaweed coats the ground like grass and aquatic flora blooms in a shock of vivid color. Guests may discover that when in this cave they can breathe underwater. There are numerous soft underwater beds made of algae and moss as well as numerous shiny objects left discarded.

▷ MINERAL FORMATIONS: In the deepest and coldest reaches of the water guests may catch an unexpected sparkle. Strange but beautiful mineral formations can be found along the wall and floor underwater. These minerals are not easy to break off alone, but with good effort or teamwork, guests may break some off to keep. These minerals can be used for trading and other deals in the resort. They are highly sought after materials. But guests should be careful — the octopi are possessive of their shiny treasure and will chase anyone trying to steal from their trove.

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.

THE JUDGMENTAL JOHN

"Sinners dare step into my elevator? Don't think you can leave without confessing your crimes! Those who have trampled upon virtue should be heavily punished. And I ... I will observe this punishment be dispensed. To see it is done right. Ahem."

▷ The Judgmental John will demand that guests trapped in his elevator confess one of their sins, crimes, or sources of guilt. Each guest will be prompted to confess once and then they together must decide whose crime is worse. The Judgmental John will then preside over the executioner (the guest with the lesser crime) punishing the guest with the worser crime.

▷ While Judgmental John has perverted intentions with his demand and will encourage sexy punishing, he will reluctantly accept any kind of punishment the executioner decides to dole out.

▷ Judgmental John will manifest any item(s) at the executioner's request.

▷ JUDGMENTAL JOHN'S FAVORITE PUNISHMENTS: Asphyxiation; Biting; Blackmail; Blindfolds; Bloodplay; Crying; Dominance/Submission; Edging; Gags; Handcuffs; Humiliation; Orgasm Control/Denial; Petplay; Sadism/Masochism; Scratching; Spanking; Slapping; Training

THE HARD-UP MAIDEN

"I was painted before my subject broke her maidenhead. I am forever a virgin in this cursed portrait! If I cannot indulge in pleasures of the flesh, I may as well watch. Share with me the sexual delight you can so freely enjoy whenever you please. Have a heart, a girl has needs."

▷ The Hard-Up Maiden wants to see graphic sex. The more hardcore the better. She craves intensity so that she can live vicariously through the guests in her elevator. As a ghost that can never experience it herself there isn't much more she can have.

▷ She will not budge her elevator until she sees something hot, sweaty and steamy between the two (or more) guests she's caught.

▷ The Hard-Up Maiden may randomly manifest items relating to her favorite kinks to encourage guests to head in that direction.

▷ HARD-UP MAIDEN'S FAVORITE KINKS: Anal Sex; Begging; Bondage; Breeding; Creampie; Cumplay; Facesitting; Femdom; Flexibility; Heat/Rut; Motorboating; Oral Sex; Pegging; Power Bottoms; Rough Sex; Throatfucking; Vaginal Sex

THE TEASING TRIO

"Aren't you two cute? Show us some flirting, give us a treat! We'll let you go after you entertain us a bit. What do we like? Anything cute, anything sweet. It gets so boring in here. Imagine watching everyone do nothing but stand before leaving. Don't we deserve some fun?"

▷ The Teasing Trio are the most flexible of the paintings. They want to see cute or lightly spicy engagement between the guests they've trapped in their elevator. They know how to have a good time and aren't taking this trapping thing too seriously.

▷ The Teasing Trio are happy to manifest any items to help guests get into the spirit of cute and sweet. They will take requests but may also toss in their own suggested items.

▷ TEASING TRIO'S FAVORITE CUTES: Body Worship; Confessions; Clothed Sex; Drama; Emotional; Fingering; Frotting; Grinding; Kissing; Hand Holding; Missionary; Roleplay; Romance; Teasing

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.

LIMITED EDITION: CHOCOLATE BOXES

▷ It isn’t every year that they celebrate Valentine’s Day in the Golden Peacock. In light of the rush of new guests checking in to the resort, Alessandro, the resort’s premier chocolatier, has decided to release his extremely coveted truffles in limited number. These truffles are boxed with the utmost attention to aesthetic and consideration for each tender morsel. There are numerous romantic designs available.

▷ Guests heading over to Great Tit! during release windows will find the confectionery mobbed. Fights break out, with some long-standing guests aggressively trying to get their hands on one of the legendary Alessandro’s truffle boxes. These NPC guests may grab and shove at their fellow guests to get through the crowd. If one wants to get their hands on a coveted box for their sweetheart they’ll have to roll up their sleeves and get ready to fight dirty.

▷ Guests who manage to secure some of the limited edition truffles will find that each bite tastes like heaven itself. The rumors of Alessandro’s talent are not exaggerated. Unlike many of the delicacies in the resort he does not rely on any kind of aphrodisiac or stimulant to send the consumer into throes of euphoria. It’s all skill, baby.

▷ Guests may want to try to grab a box for their sweetheart or someone who's caught their eye. All of the eye searing advertisements for the limited edition run of Alessandro’s truffles swear that it is a must to gift a box of chocolates to someone you are interested in courting or playing 52 with. What better way than to seduce the object of your affections than to give them the most delicious truffles in the resort?

THE CHALLENGE: LICKED CREAM

▷ Great Tit! is hosting a game that only the most stalwart competitors can win. Dozens of bowls of whipped cream have been supplied for The Licked Cream Challenge. Always enticed by the new and novel in the resort, guests are lining up out the door to get in on the action.

▷ Guests who join the competition will face what may be their toughest challenge yet: A Complete Lickdown. One of the game managers will slather one guest head to toe in whipped cream. Their game partner must lick all of the whipped cream from their body within ten minutes to win the medium payout prize and two boxes of Alessandro’s coveted chocolates. The guest originally covered in whipped cream must be licked spotless in order for them to win.

▷ There is no penalty for guests that do not manage to beat the challenge. It’s all in good fun!

THE HALL: CHOCOLATE DELIGHT

Riding the wave of demand for more chocolate from patrons, Great Tit! has opened a limited time chocolate adventure to keep the excitement going. There is a small fee to enter the Hall of Chocolate Delight, but those who do decide to pay up will not be disappointed. Especially if they have a sweet tooth. Nearly everything inside the hall is made of chocolate: cakes; cookies; pastries; furniture; clothing; and much more! Players are encouraged to make up and design their own chocolate delights. There are three main attraction hubs within the exhibit:

▷ HOT FUDGE TUB: A hot tub with fudge. Fudge is kept at a comfortable temperature so as not to scald while keeping the chocolate from solidifying. With eight jet streams and an assortment of fudge toppings to throw into the tub, this is the spot for a dessert lover to relax. There is a sign that asks, PLEASE DO NOT DRINK HOT TUB FUDGE, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. Many of the NPC guests can be found sneakily sticking their heads in and guzzling the hot tub fudge.

▷ PUDDING RING: A wrestling ring filled with pudding. The pudding ring is where guests feeling frisky can wrestle in a shallow vat of pudding for some messy, slippery fun. Winners of their wrestling match will be given a discount coupon for use in Great Tit! at a later date. Guests are encouraged to go nude, but there are some saucy outfits made out of hard candies available to wear if they'd like to cover up a bit. Guests are encouraged to eat the candy outfits off of each other.

▷ CAKE TRAMPOLINE: A bouncy chocolate cheesecake the size of a massive trampoline. Guests may also eat from the cake while bouncing if they would like. Due to the large number of guests eager to play 52 on the bouncy cheesecake, these cake trampolines are replaced quite often. While the cheesecake is the most popular option due to its jiggly qualities, there are other large cake beds to enjoy.

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.

FASHION LINE: ADORABLE AND SEXY

Alice and the Parrots, one of the Golden Peacock’s frilly fashion boutiques, is coming out hot with a new line of clothing with the tagline, Adorable and Sexy. Guests will find fliers for their new line’s launch around the resort during February.

▷ FRILLY DRESSES: Feminine flair lovers are in for a treat! An ode to the famous lolita style, this collection includes several collections big on lace and frills. Dresses have a range of unique prints that guests have been going crazy over buying because these prints are limited time only. The line includes matching accessories to create a fully adorable and sexy look that will drive suitors wild.
▷ CHARMING HABERDASHERIES: Masculine looks haven’t been forgotten. The line includes charming suspenders, velvet suits with cute prints, colorful bowties, dashing footwear, and more. Guests looking to strike a perfect balance between handsome and adorable have found their place.
▷ SENSUAL SWEATERS: A large part of the collection includes knit sweaters with teasing cutouts. By far the most popular, the eponymous Virgin Killer Sweater has been reimagined in buttery yarns and given an overhaul of new designs so that virgins may be slain in even more ways.
▷ FLIRTATIOUS HOSIERY: What are sexy outfits without hosiery? Stockings and socks have been given their own section, paired with shelves of garter belts that promise to tantalize. The collection includes undershirts for more muscular guests made of delicate materials, like lace and silk, offering feminine touch for the beefiest babes.
▷ APPEALING INTIMATES: An Adorable and Sexy line would be nothing without its intimates. Panties and bras are available in a full range of color and styles. Lingerie has been reimagined in a variety of sensual fabrics. Men’s boxers have been included and given the adorable treatment with silk options that gently cradle even the heaviest balls.

COSTUME LINE: EROTIC ENCOUNTERS

Alice and the Parrots isn’t done yet. Along with their fashion collection, the boutique has designed and released a line of romantic costumes to help guests get into the Game 52 spirit. The quality of these costumes is quite high; they feel as comfortable as normal clothes. None of that itchy synthetic material for this store.

▷ Guests will discover a selection of costumes inside the store. All costumes part of the Erotic Encounters have been designed with sex appeal in mind. Players are welcome to have their characters find sexy costumes ranging from the classic french maid and nurse to more obscure options, like sexy plumber and sexy exhausted but doing her best single mother. Alice and the Parrots has considerately made their collection broad to accommodate all tastes.

▷ Some of these outfits are completely ordinary costumes. Others have been possessed by a strong sense of purpose. Costumes possessed by purpose may compel their wearers to act out their roles. For example, a sexy french maid might be compelled to attractively clean a partner’s suite or a sexy nurse may be compelled to practice some medical love. The strength of the compulsion is completely up to player discretion. It can range from a fleeting impulse to an all-encompassing craving. Whatever you decide!

▷ Once their sense of purpose has been achieved any possessed costumes will be satisfied and freed of the curse. They will return to being ordinary clothes.

WEDDING LINE: SPECIAL MOMENTS

Did you think they'd be done after two collections? No!! Alice and the Parrots intends to completely knock out the competition. They will be the most beloved small fashion boutique, so help them.

▷ The full back wall of Alice and the Parrots is dedicated to their wedding collection, Special Moments. Guests will find a variety of outfits traditionally worn at weddings. While the bride and groom looks are given the spotlight there are also outfits geared toward bridesmaids, groomsmen, wedding guests, officiants, and so on. Guests will also find flower bouquets, hair pins, veils, and accessories.

▷ Some of the wedding clothes have likewise been possessed by a strong sense of purpose. Possessed wedding clothes will compel their wearers to act out their roles. Anyone who decides to try on a bridal gown may be overcome with the desire to find their groom/bride. They may be overwhelmed by the urge to sprint straight to the chapel. They may even experience the classic cold feet and go running to the bar to drink away their wedding woes. Players are encouraged to have fun playing out whatever wedding stereotypes and tropes they would like.

▷ Once their sense of purpose has been achieved any possessed wedding clothes will be satisfied and freed of their curse.

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!

THE PHOENIX CHAPEL

▷ THE ALTAR: A cheesy altar with some garishly bright fabrics thrown across it. In actuality, a table that staff dressed up to look like an altar, surrounded by flowers, a wedding arch, and rows of pews for guests. Every inch the traditional Vegas chapel setup minus the Elvis impersonator; if you want Birdvis, he's on standby.

▷ THE CONFESSIONAL: A slim booth with enough room to seat two guests. Rich with the scent of incense and sandalwood. Locks from the inside. None of the long-standing guests know what the confessional is actually meant for, so they've been using it as a photobooth to get good scenic snaps with their Watches.

▷ THE COAT CLOSET: All of these guests have all of these coats that need a place to stay while they party the nights away. A secluded spot with racks of coats that makes a clandestine spot to find some privacy in the middle of the festivities. Guests may find miscellaneous baubles and candies in the pockets if they decide to rifle through pockets.

▷ THE BRIDAL SUITE: A private room for guests to relax in. Themed with the traditional wedding night in mind. Guests will find this room splashed in shades of red. Decorated with a massive canopied bed, scattered rose petals, lit candles, and mood music.

WEDDING SLOT MACHINES (CR BUILDING): EASY

▷ Limited time wedding slot machines have been installed around the chapel. Guests that decide to play are directed to pull the arm and see what matchup of directions they've been assigned. The challenge will be sent to their Watch to complete. If they manage to complete their challenge on the easy level slots they will be rewarded with a medium payout.

▷ Players may either use RNG for the below prompts or select any combination they like OOCly. ICly, it's all random.

▷ Example Pull: RNG 3, 5, 2. The challenge sent to the playing character's watch would be, ADMIT A KINK TO SOMEONE HOT IN THE BATHROOM. If they do this they will automatically receive their medium payment prize. Winner music will play from their watch upon completion.

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.

▶ 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!

[Ah... Well, that ended up having the opposite effect. It's too bad that Soundwave is frozen by her line to stop her from downing the drink like he did.

Calling him cute seems to have gotten Soundwave out of his stupor, but has the unfortunate effect of getting his face flustered even more. Realizing that he's making a fool of himself, he tries to regain his composure. Try being the keyword, here.

Soundwave folds his arms and turns his face away from her with a 'hmph'. ... And then pops the chocolate in his hand. He's thankful for that.]

... I am not cute. Nor am I sweet.

[Please, he's still entirely too sober to deal with a giggling human girl. Speaking of drunk...]

Where did you get the mimosa, by the way? [Changing subject, changing subject.] I wish to have more of that drink.

[With the goal being fairly obvious.]

[holeinwall]

Oh? Sorry~ My mistake!

[ She barely suppresses a snicker. He's making this worse for himself. If she senses a weakness, she has to pick at it. The compulsion is too strong to ignore, an awful, awful addiction she's unable to quit, considering she'd spent far too much time doing that to her so-called friends.

Monika leans back in her chair, looking increasingly comfortable...and obnoxiously smug. Seems she's most in her element when she's being a pest. ]

There's a whole tray of them over there. [ She gestures with her glass over to a setup with various complimentary wedding-themed snacks. ] Make sure you get an extra orange one.

[ Will she leave it at that? Be nice? Tease him more?

...Tease him more, of course! He's doing too good of a job of reminding her of a certain pink-haired, manga-loving menace. ]

I hear it can cure bad cases of tsundere. Maybe grab the whole tray~

[peacewithouttyranny]

[What is this bully? He didn't even do anything. Whatever, he pulls his mask back up, to hide not just the flushed face but also the pout. He knows he'll have to pull it down again though, since he'll be drinking. But until he gets the drink, he can cope with the comfort of his mask and visor.

Just let him cope that he isn't sweet and cute. He's terrible person with the social skill of a rock. A rock probably has better social skills than him...]

I am not a... tsundere, either. [It's frankly amazing that he even knows what a tsundere is.] And I might just do that!

[His voice raises for once. He's not actually angry, but oh he's certainly getting agitated by Monika's kind words. He's not sure how to deal when someone is being playful with him. Anyway, he needs to have some time away, so he gets up and walks away to grab a whole tray of mimosa. But not before saying:]

Stay here. I'll be back.

[It doesn't actually take long for Soundwave to return. And true to his word, he does bring a whole tray of mimosa with him. It took a bit of negotiating and thinly-veiled threats, but what truly matters is that he's gotten a whole tray. Not only that, he seems to have bought three bottles of red wine, too. He sets them down on the table before re-joining Monika, sitting right next to her.]

Hmph. [Soundwave doesn't say anything as he sinks back into the chair, pops a red wine bottle open, and decides to down at least half of it, before exhaling , cheeks flushed entirely red as he turns to face Monika, still pouting over it.

Oh, did he try to hide his pout earlier? Well now Monika gets to see it now.]

[holeinwall]

[ How about that. He's hip with the lingo of questionable archetypes! He'll get points for that, but not many. It's more fun (as in, infuriating) when she can explain weird terms in the most convoluted ways possible.

On the bright side, that unexpected show of a new emotion (who knew he could raise his voice!) combined with him re-masking knocks the smarm off her face. She doesn't even manage a real response, only stammering out a few words before he's stormed off. This leaves her looking mildly annoyed and highly put out. People are supposed to subject themselves to her behavior for as long as she wants! And speaking of, who is he to tell her to stay put? She's a free woman! She can move around as much as she wants!

But...she'd rather not be alone. Grumbling, she pokes at the snack hoard and works on finishing up her cold coffee, since it's better than the dumb mimosa. This jerk!

...This jerk who's made her sputter into a cup for the second time in one day. Thankfully, none of it splashes out, but it was a close one. Back to being shocked again, then. And maybe more annoyed on the inside, because she hates being so expertly one-upped. ]

Er...

[ She stares. Watches him drink--no, chug--wine, then attempts to count just how many mimosas have been dragged over. Craziest of all, is he pouting? Her brain's short-circuiting. She has to lean away from him, because she's pretty sure he's going to be flammable any minute now. ]

Okay, so. Ehehe. I know I'm pretty new to this whole food and drink thing, but... [ Did she count twenty glasses? Twenty-five? And two more bottles of wine?! ] This seems dangerous, doesn't it?

[ She's cool and mature enough to know alcohol poisoning is a thing! ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Oh is she doubting his ability to drink this much? After she teased him that it can cure his bad case of tsundere? Nay, he's going to cure this "illness".]

I can handle this much. I'm made of sterner stuff.

[Just half a bottle? He can do one more bottle- he's only just getting tipsy! But he knows how to pace himself. He's not out here to get extremely drunk right at the start. Human alcohol aren't as strong as his own kind, however, he's getting the feeling that Monika might be worried with the amount of alcohol he brings to the table. It's a worrying amount, sure, and.... he's not even sure himself what point he's making, here.

In any case, he's not going to back down after bringing all these, here.]

You are free to join in. Or not. Do whatever you what. [....] Just... let me get drunk enough so I can socialize better.

[Which is partly true. He does get better at socializing when drunk. And so, he takes another chug of the bottle, before turning back to Monika, expression less pouty and more curious.]

........ You really think I'm sweet?

[holeinwall]

[ She is absolutely doubting him! She's not asking him to cure his tsun affliction with death!

Her grimacing worsens when he insists he's intent on putting Dionysus to shame. Maybe she should try to tip the tray over, just to be safe? ]

Erm, I dunno if I'll have much more. What I did have already made me feel a little funny. [ She's small and inexperienced. Of course it did. ] I'm not sure if I want to figure out if this place has a hospital the hard way...

[ She puts her coffee cup aside, then leans in to peer at the tray closer. She wants an accurate count, just in case she has to explain why he's passed out to a doctor. ]

Seriously, you don't have to get drunk on my account! You've done fine so far! You can't be any worse than this guy I met in an elevator here. His sentences were usually just one word...

[ But just as she's about to finish tapping on each glass to get her count done, here comes another shocker. The tray rattles, and she jerks back, gawking at him. Is that why he's being like this? ]

Oh my gosh. [ She giggles softly. ] Has no one ever given you a compliment before? Of course you're sweet! In your own grumpy way, yeah, but definitely sweet. You've spent all this time with me, haven't you? It means a lot!

[ She just, you know. Had to be annoying with her kindness first. ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[He had received compliments before. Typically it's regarding his work ethic and hard work. Accomplishments. Things of that nature. He isn't always modest; he likes flattery. Sometimes he's a sucker for them when his hard work is recognized. But work ethic asides, he's never had anyone ever compliment how... sweet, he is? He's still very doubtful that he's a sweet person.

Most people knows him as the silent, creepy, and intimidating bot. The type of bot who'd likely kill the mood in the party by simply walking inside.

At a certain point of time in the true, it was true. He was like that, and it didn't help that he normally push people away. Now he's trying his best to change that.

He stares at her with half-lidded eyes, as if to determine if what she said is a lie or truth. Then, he puts the half-finished bottle on the table and sinks back into the chair, looking up at the ceiling.]

.... I thought I annoyed and upset you.

[That's all he simply said. Typically he doesn't care if he annoyed someone, especially a human, but... this is his first friend in this place, isn't it? It wouldn't do that he's leaving bad impressions or annoyed her on the first day.

Not that he knows what to do to rectify all of that, anyway.]

[holeinwall]

[ That stare...it makes what hint of a smile she had falter. No one's ever looked at her that way. She finds herself getting uncomfortable, squirming a little under his gaze. The feeling doesn't abate until he switches to staring at the ceiling. What if, she wonders, he hadn't liked what he saw there?

She fights off a shiver. Getting a taste of her own staring medicine wasn't so great. Eventually, she pushes all that aside to shift focus back to what's important. ]

If you annoyed me, it's no big deal. Totally minor! But...you haven't upset me. Not one bit. Ahaha, I think you'd know if you had.

[ She tends to make her displeasure, ah, very obvious. ]

But see? That's how I know you're sweet. [ One of his arms gets a quick poke. ] Someone who wasn't sweet wouldn't be so worried about things like that~

[peacewithouttyranny]

[If Soundwave notices that his scrutinizing made her uncomfortable, he doesn't show it. It's something he usually does. Staring at someone for an uncomfortable amount of time, that is.

But that aside... It's good to hear that he hasn't upset her. 'It's no big deal'... That probably meant that he did annoy her a bit. But... if it's minor, then it's fine.

Monika asserting that he's sweet gets his cheeks redder, somehow. Or maybe it's from the alcohol? Who can tell.

There's a long stretch of silence. One thing Monika may have to deal with him is the long awkward silence. But eventually, he does finally say something, eyes shifting to meet with Monika's again.]

Thank you.

[He couldn't do this if he was sober instead. But, as much as it embarrassed and surprised him, it's.... oddly nice to know that he can be "sweet".]

[holeinwall]

[ She lets him have his silence, since he's so graciously done the same for her without much fuss. Besides, it's kind of fun to wonder what's going on in his head. The more time she spends with him, the more she'd love to take a dip into that mind and see what dwells there.

When he finally speaks, she's smiling brightly. It's nice, feeling like she's done something good. ]

Ahaha! Now you're thanking me! I think that calls for a little celebration~

[ Which means she'll grab what's left of her barely-touched mimosa and drink, oh, maybe a half or so. That's her equivalent to a Soundwave wine chug. Quite the accomplishment! ]

In fact~ [ He gets another poke. ] I may just have to upgrade you to adorable.

[ Don't tease more. Don't do it. He's already shown he's a fragile tsundere. Don't don't don't-- ]

Especially with all that blushing you're doing.

[ Look, it's her special way of saying "you're welcome." ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

Wha-

[What's this one-two hit combo?! Right after he calmed down from his own fluster!

Now his face is as red as a tomato, struggling to find the words to counter her claim. Sweet is one thing. Adorable? There's no way he'll fit in any category that's considered cute.]

I'm not... I am not adorable. You need to get your eyes fixed.

[And the snark returns.]

And I am not blushing. It's just red from the.... Wine. Not because of anything else.

[Yeah, totally. Hell, he's going to down two glasses of mimosas right there.]

[holeinwall]

[ Ooooh, feisty! She only giggles more. This is way too easy! ]

Let's add "rude" and "bad liar" to your character traits. You're really racking up a bunch of fun ones, aren't you~?

[ And already pounding back the drinks while they're at it. Really stuck a nerve, it seems! ]

Should I be preparing to hold your hair back for you? [ Thankfully, she reserves her poking for one of the empty glasses this time. ] If you keep rejecting all of my generous compliments, I think we're going to be spending the rest of our day together in the bathroom!

Then again. [ There's a little something disconcerting in her chuckle. ] You really learn who a person is when they're suffering.

[ Just saying that for no reason at all! ]

What more would I learn about you, I wonder?

[peacewithouttyranny]

I particularly take offense being called a "bad liar".

[That's what he's good at: deceptions and lies. However, when it comes to the matter of his emotions and the heart, he is... Well, admittedly bad at it. But still he takes offense to that.

Soundwave raises an eyebrow at the change of tone.]

What are you talking about?

[Is it just him being drunk, or did Monika just sound oddly ominous there? Does she intent to make him suffer through... Embarrassment? Spare him.]

I'll be fine. If it gets too bad, I'll just find a bed. [He huffs.] I have no right to be called adorable.... when there's already someone here who fits that way better than me.

[And that someone? Soundwave pokes at her nose. Monika. Oh, and it's payback for all that poking earlier!]

[holeinwall]

[ One of her eyebrows goes up at that counter. Who wants to insist they're good liar? That's silly. It's nothing she'd want to be proud of. Which, speaking of... ]

Hmm, what? Do you mean me saying how sick you're going to be?

[ Maybe she's not a bad liar, per se. More so incredible at ignoring anything that disrupts her reality. She didn't say anything weird, he did!

Actually, he did. The poke that went with it has her making a tiny choked noise, which is weirdly lowkey, considering how she reacted to being touched earlier. Maybe there's too much shock this time? Because the grump actually flirted. ]

Wh-Why do your compliments feel so weaponized?! Like, have you been drunk this entire time? Was there alcohol in our coffee?

[ She snatches up her empty coffee cup and sniffs, then realizes she's not sure if she'd know what to smell for. Growling in frustration, she sets it back down and...

And she blushes. Part of it is embarrassment; most of it is her body going into overdrive. She hasn't gotten many compliments. Or...any, really, aside from his gentler ones about her clothing. It's not like it was possible before. Talk about doki doki! She's finding it hard to look at him. Her shoulders hunch, then she grabs what's left of her mimosa to sip at it. Would it help ease her nerves? This moment is a lot to handle...! ]

I'm sort of curious to see how you'll get if you do drink all of this, even if I have no idea where you'd fit it all. [ Does he have a holding tank? Jeez. ] But also...thanks.

[ Siiiiip. Just going to mentally berate herself while slowly dying inside. She'd planned out how she'd respond to a situation like this for ages, and she blew it! Who knew it'd be impossible to react exactly the way she expected to? ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

I am not going to be sick from just this much.

[Boy, he's going to have a bitch of a hangover in the morning. Right now, he's not worried about that and, simply because he interprets her words as a challenge, is more than willing to drink up all the alcohol on the table]

Says you. You calling me adorable felt weaponized.

[Weaponized tease to turn him into an embarrassed mess, which he was on his way to had he not gotten progressively drunker. He's not sure what to do since he never had compliments like that before! Sure, he'll admit that it feels good inside when Monika said that, but his body and mind don't know how to react to that! It's too much to handle without appropriate mental preparation.]

Do you want to see that? [Because he's opening a second red wine bottle and readying himself to take a swig.]

[holeinwall]

[ Well, if there's one thing he's good at, it's keeping her from staying silent for too long. Probably because he's always giving her something to overreact to. Add "generous" to his list of traits. ]

How?! How to both of those!! I feel fuzzy from just one mimosa, and we're, like, the same size!

[ See? Cool and mature! She knows things about the booze! ]

Also, my compliment was sincere, even if it was weaponized! [ It's not illegal for one to be both! ] Stop trying to be some--some badass or whatever! Being dumb isn't going to impress me!

[ Think fast. She's grabbing for the wine to snatch it away. Once again, she is not trying to take care of an unconscious person! ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

Isn't this your first real alcohol? You need to build up your tolerance for that. Or perhaps your alcohol tolerance isn't strong in the first place.

[Also hey, he wanted that wine. Right after she made her curiosity known? Ugh. Soundwave decides to not fight her over it though, but instead slumps a little and pout and bicker with his new friend.]

I am not trying to be either. This is typical.

[Whether Monika believes him or not, he'll always insist that he can handle two wine bottles, plus a couple glasses more.]

Plus, the alcohol here isn't as strong as the ones in my world. [.....] Thank you for the compliments. I did feel your sincerity.

[Said off to the side and very quickly.]

[holeinwall]

That's...not important! [ Stop implying that she's bad at something! ] We're focused on you! Clearly I can't trust you around alcohol!

[ Thankfully, there's not much of a fight, because she didn't need to find out how to clean red wine out of clothes the hard way. With a huff, she sets the bottle down out of his reach. After giving it an experimental sniff and making a "blech!" face, anyway.

That out of the way, she crosses her arms and eyes him suspiciously. She's watching you. Don't touch anything else! ]

Your type of "typical" is totally reckless. Calm down! And seriously... [ A snort. ] What are you, an alien? Who says things like "in my world"? Ahaha!

[ Obviously everyone here is from Earth! ]

You're welcome, though. [ She leans in close, just so her dumb joke can hit its hardest. There'll be no more of this "uwu so shy" stuff with her. ] Tsoundere.

[ Get it? Soundwave plus tsundere? Ha! ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Fine, fine. He won't be touching any alcohol for now. He's about to answer a question of hers, but then Monika decides to hit him with a dumb joke.

First, the 'you're welcome' makes him flustered. Second, Tsoundere. Really.]

.......... Horrible.

[He'd rather be called Soundy or Sounders over that. Shaking his head, he leans into the comfy chair and answers her question earlier.]

Anyway... Yes, I am an alien.

[holeinwall]

Whaaaat~? I think it's pretty clever~

[ Coming up with something like that off the cuff? Not easy! Well, it is for her, since she's a former literature club president and all. Perfect for showing an alien the ropes!

...Wait, WHAT? ]

You're-- [ She makes a strange noise, trying to find words. ] But--! No way!

[ That's sci-fi stuff! Totally not her genre! Like, sure, she's not dumb enough to think there's absolutely no other life in the universe, but he's...he's...shouldn't he be slimy? Green? At the very least, there should be some big beady eyes! What next, is he going to tell her he's a robot in disguise? Pffft!

All of these thoughts, of course, are brought to you by a girl who was living in a video game, a thing that is so much more normal in comparison. ]

Okay, then. [ One eyebrow goes up. A challenge. ] Prove it.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Monika's doubting him. Which is understandable, as the claim might seem dubious. If anything, it goes to show how well the holoavatar look if it can trick another human into believing he's human. Aside from his lack of knowledge of human customs or food, nobody could tell that he isn't one.]

This is not my real body.

[And to prove it, he reaches his hand out to her chest and.... His arm go through her body. If Monika looks down, she'll find that the arm is somewhat see through now. Then, he pulls his arm back and it seemingly becomes solid again as he picks a chocolate and pops it into his mouth.]

It's a holographic body. Holomatter avatar... It's a hard light projection. And before you ask, I do not understand how the technology itself works.

[What point he's making is that the holographic avatar is solid. Able to interact with the surrounding. Able to feel. Able to look just as alive as the next human being. What point is having a disguise if you can't blend in with the populace, after all. Most species aren't see through.

In normal circumstances, he wouldn't let this fact known. But he isn't using this form as a disguise, but rather for convenience.]

Otherwise.... If you require more prove, we'll have to go to the parking garage.

[holeinwall]

[ Sometimes, she really, really hates her need to know everything. This is one of those times where she loathes it. Which is why, understandably, she screams in shock. A visual novel never prepared her for something like this!!

For the second time today, she's got people staring at them, but on the bright side, everyone seems to quickly shrug it off and return to their business. Seems sounds like that are more expected in this area. How...nice? Either way, she wasn't prepared, and she doesn't think she's prepared for anything else. This is why she snatches up a mimosa and does her best impression of him, gulping it all down in one go. ]

Why would I need to go there?! You--this-- [ She sputters, then shrilly shrieks out: ] You could've done that in a less traumatic way!

[ There. That feels better. She clutches her chest, breathing heavily. This is fine. No big deal. Stranger things have happened! She's here, isn't she? What's a little close encounter with the third kind to get the blood pumping!

When she's calmed down enough to speak again, she has to fight the urge to let the floodgate of questions open. (That, and poke him all over, just to see if she can find a "soft" spot.) She'll focus on the easiest question for now. ]

How...big are you?

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Honestly, Soundwave was expecting some sort of strong reaction after what he's done. Having an arm go through someone like that? Just about anybody would be surprised. That's why Soundwave looks a little less awkward and surprise when Monika screamed. Everybody else are minding their own business, so there isn't any awkward air unlike in the cafe.

Soundwave is quietly amused by the spectacle.]

That is where my real body is. Only if you want to see the real me. [As for if he could've done it in a less traumatic way...] That's the best way I could think of.

[The best way to surprise and mess with her, that is. He gives her a shrug in the end.]

About 30 feet tall. Used to be. Somehow, being here has reduced my height .... I believe I am about 10 feet tall now?

[Somewhere around that ballpark? He hadn't gotten the chance to check that out, as getting his current accurate height is the least important thing to explore in this place.]

[holeinwall]

[ Ohhh boy, is that tray of mimosas looking even more tempting... ]

Thirty feet. [ --she says, mildly more traumatized-- ] And now ten. Practically a dwarf! Ahahaha. Haha...

[ Abruptly, she stands. That burning need to know is at it again, even if she's half expecting to make her way to the garage and meet a tiny Godzilla. ]

Fine, then. Keep your..."hard" body here to guard our stuff. I'm coming to you. I need to give you a piece of my mind in person! [ A pause. ] And don't drink anything while I'm gone! Even if I have no idea how that's working!

[ With that, she flips her ponytail, then off she goes without another word. She's a bit...wobbly, but she's fine. She'll be fine!

Prepare thyself, Soundwave. Hurricane Monika is going to be blowing in soon. ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Soundwave sees her off without a word, head tilting to the side.

Should he had given her a description of his real body? He could tell her via telepathy... No, that'll just traumatize her further. Ah well. He believes in her ability to find him. While she gets to the garage, he'll just transfer his consciousness back to his real body. The avatar will remain static with its own idle sitting pose, almost like an NPC in a video game.

And lo, fast forward to the parking garage.

The place is filled with expensive and fancy car as far as the eyes can see. Except for one vehicle in particular she may or may not come across. It looks out of place amongst the expensive cars. If anything, it closely resembles a military vehicle.

If Soundwave spots her.... Well, he won't say anything. She'll have to find him herself.]
