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. 💕
It's a fake dick, but it's really long enough to be a sword. Are you supposed to stab someone with this? There's no way it fits anywhere.
[ As he speaks he takes it out and turns it over in his hands. Contrary to his expectations it's rather limp and flopping instead of holding its straight shape as it did in the box. ]
[Xiao Xingchen's lips press together, utter indignance written all over his face. He should have known--but how crude can this place be?! That his friend is amused with it... well, he knows the man isn't afraid to tell all kinds of jokes, always willing to go further than anyone else with them. Still, there's a limit to these things! His friend has already crossed it many times over!
His hand darts out to grab the object. His expression becomes one of surprise as he misses it, unaware of how it bends and wobbles.]
Don't take that out of here! O-Or... someone might get the wrong impression about you!
[ Xue Yang didn't even have to move the toy out of the way and Xiao Xingchen misses it, making him laugh a bit more at the surprised expression Xiao Xingchen makes combined with those words. ]
Oh? Daozhang, what impression do you think others might get?
[ As if taking a bit of pity on Xiao Xingchen, but actually just wanting to see how he reacts, Xue Yang positions the dildo so it touches against Xiao Xingchen's hand and he can tell where it is to grab it. ]
[Now an even brighter red, Xiao Xingchen seizes the giant cock where it brushes against his hand. The material alone wouldn't have been enough to let him know what it's form was, but with his hand on the top of it like the top of a staff, he can tell right away that this is its "head." A shiver wracks his entire body as a choked noise escapes his mouth. He already knew what it was, but feeling its level of detail...
He has to turn his face away from his friend, even as he pulls on the head to get it away from his friend.]
Others don't know you like I do... and they might not realize that you like to joke and play around!
[ Xue Yang relishes that look on Xiao Xingchen's face as he lets him take the toy away. Xue Yang wasn't playing with it seriously anyway; it was just to rile up Xiao Xingchen, and he's completely succeeded. ]
Ah, I got it, daozhang. [ His voice is full of faked understanding. ] If others see me with this, they might want to use it on me, or they might want me to use it on them. It could be a lot of trouble.
[ Not like he could just say no, or laugh in their faces. No, Xiao Xingchen wouldn't do either of those, so especially if he's flustered he might not think of his friend doing either of those either. ]
[Not wanting to hold this for too long, Xiao Xingchen reaches around for the box it came in. When he doesn't find it right away, he settles for picking up the comforter and shoving the oversized "toy" under the blankets, keeping it away and out of his friend's sight (as well as reach) for now.]
Exactly that. So please don't wave such things like this in front of others. We need to take more care in this place, when we don't know what other tricks it might play.
[There's another assumption he makes that he doesn't dare to clarify. Either way, the thought of his friend handing such a part still has an effect on him that he's trying to not think all too much about.]
[ When the dildo needs to be shoved under the sheets Xue Yang can't help a small snort of amusement, but he holds his tongue from saying anything further about it. ]
Alright, daozhang, I'll be more careful.
Was that all of the boxes in here? It doesn't really seem like anything was useful after all. There weren't any weapons or clothing, either.
[ Well, there was clothing, but not in any form that Xue Yang recognized. ]
[Now that that's out of the way until he finds it next to him while he's sleeping Xiao Xingchen can start to clean up the mess left by all the boxes. After feeling around their shape and taking note of how they're constructed, he starts to fold them up and place them in a pile.]
I suppose not. Not even any sort of food that would last...
[He speaks with a bit of concern, though he lowers his voice nearly to a murmur when he adds:]
The "mouth trainer" aside.
[Really, he'd want it thrown away. But if it is food - even if it's a sweet - then perhaps food shouldn't be wasted...?]
[ Xue Yang is quiet for a moment--his eyes dart to the bandage around where Xiao Xingchen's eyes would be, sunken in slightly from the missing eyeballs beneath it. Who would be stupid enough to think they could get away with stealing Xiao Xingchen's identity without even so much as covering their eyes?
But he speaks as if nothing is wrong. ]
The guy I woke up with pissed me off so I left quickly and haven't been back. I don't think there were any boxes like all these but I didn't really look, though I do remember there was some food.
I did see a bunch of clothes outside the rooms but a lot of it was weird styles or looked impractical. I haven't found any weapons here yet at all.
[ Unless the giant dong counts for its bludgeoning capabilities. ]
[Xiao Xingchen can't help his expression of worry again. Well, he shouldn't stay there if he doesn't get along with the other man there. However, he hesitates for a moment before he can say:]
Then... it's no trouble for the other person who awoke in this room, you could stay here.
[He isn't sure why he says it with such uncertainty. Already he knows that it isn't entirely out of concern for whoever his roommate was, but trying to consider his friend. They already sleep under the same roof that they constructed together, so a room can't be all too different.
Perhaps it's the thought of them so close in bed together, and the sound his friend made earlier with the sweet candy in his throat.
No! He can't think about that!]
H-however! Perhaps there are other options instead of these rooms. This place is already unlike any inn I've ever come across...
[ Xue Yang glances to Xiao Xingchen briefly, then looks around the room itself, sizing it up. It's, admittedly, a pretty good size compared to the house they used to share together. They'd could even sleep in the same bed; it's easily at least twice the size of the bed Xue Yang used to stay in alone. The only concern would be Xiao Xingchen brushing against his left hand in his sleep... Well, Xiao Xingchen would probably sleep on the floor and let Xue Yang have the bed to himself if he made enough of a fuss. ]
I didn't find anything like that so far, but I can keep looking. Seems more like these are the rooms they want all of us to stay in, and there's plenty of space for multiple people here.
[ So of course he'll be staying if Xiao Xingchen isn't actively shoving him out the door. He's not going to outright say he accepts; he'll just move in like it's always been his. ]
Since there's not much food here, should we go get more?
