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.

▶ 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. 💕
If you have posted a top level with a new character, feel free to link your top level here! Characters originally premiering on the first TDM but are not currently in game may also utilize this directory.
For ease, please write your character's name and canon in the subject line when posting your top level link.
[ Navia's original toplevel is right over here. Feel free to hop in with a new character or continue existing threads. You can find me at mochihearts or PM for my discord if you want to plot anything! ]
[ In a bit of good fortune, Joon wakes up first. Who the hell is that? What the hell is she wearing?
As quietly as she can, she extracts herself from the bed, stops to grab a bottle of champagne, then drains a third of it as she makes her way around to the other side. Then, the lucky spouse-to-be is awoken by a short girl in white lingerie splashing champagne in their face. ]
Wake up! Who the hell are you? Where are my clothes?!
- Sweet Surrender -
[ Okay, basics secured. The kidnapping angle is a little worrisome, but more important than that: There's a whole world of new rubes waiting to be swindled. Let's test the waters!
There's a small riot breaking out over those foreign sweets already. Perfect territory. Now, she just needs a victim... how about you? ]
Yoo-hoo! Could you do me a favor?
[ Joon puts on her cutest face, and cranks her ability up to full power. If affected, her victim will be captured by a sudden urge to recklessly spend money on her. Or, if not her, to spend money in general. Of course, depending on the player's preferences, the ability might not work at all. ]
I saw some awfully nice sweets over there, but I have no money, and with my frail constitution, if I were to wade into the fray, I'd surely perish... could I presume to ask you to get me a box or two?
- Elevator of Love -
[ It's the teasing trio that hijack Joon's elevator. Normally she'd be more indignant, but she's never used an elevator before - she only took this route because the alternative would have been admitting that she didn't know how it works. All things considered, she's feeling pretty rattled. ]
Wh... Why did it stop? Are we there? Hello?!
[ "Aw, look at these two cuties! Maybe if they show us a little love, maybe a bit of flirting, maybe the elevator will start working again!" And so on. Joon glares daggers at the portraits, then shrugs, and turns to her temporary partner. ]
Well, if they insist! By all means, I give you permission to shower me with affection.
- Everything's Gucci -
[ Judging by how hard she's brawling in the gothic lolita department, Joon was lying about her frail constitution. This isn't her normal style, but it looks fancy and expensive, and that means she wants it. Paying for it... well, she can figure that out later. ]
What are you-- hey! Don't put your hands on me, you background character! You'll get your poor people stink all over-- HEY!
[ And with that, Joon is shoved into a cramped dressing room with a total stranger, who probably heard that whole outburst. ]
This is absurd! One of us should complain to the manager.
...But, if they aren't gonna let me have this without trying it on, I'd better try it on. Turn around.
((OOC: Charlie is somewhere in her 20s, give or take a couple hundred years. She's also the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith and the Princess of Hell and her canon point is the end of the season, so let me know if you're okay w/spoilers! She's also bisexual, though she does have a girlfriend in her canon. It's also important to note that Charlie is a good 6'5''))
A. Arrival- Evens
[A big bed in a big room with someone else by her side isn't actually anything new. It's been a long, long day at the Hotel and she's not surprised she's slept so soundly! But when she wakes up and takes in the decor... Hm.
Hm.]
Vaggie...? [she reaches behind her to shake the shoulder of whoever is with her] What happened? Vaggie, wake up. [She doesn't feel in danger, but she also doesn't know that the person beside her isn't Vaggie (probably).]
B. Judgemental John
[Charlie listens to John with wide eyes, looking momentarily baffled, then slightly insulted, before she clears her throat with a smile]
Iiii think there's been a mistake here. I'm not a Sinner. I'm a natural Hellborn, so none of things really apply to me--
Silence! Confess your Crimes!
Oh, wow, rude. Uh... [She looks at whoever's stuck with her with an apologetic smile] Sorry about this. Maybe we should look into alternative ways to get out of here?
C. Wedding Slots -- Easy
Confess a secret to someone new...at the altar. [Charlie flinches at that. It's not like she can't go into Heavenly/Sacred or anything, but it feels, uhh... wrong?
She wanders over to it anyhow, knowing she just has to confess a secret and move on, but Charlie isn't entirely sure what would count as a secret anyhow. There's a lot of humans here, so maybe a secret is just...her position? It's not a secret to her, or to anyone else from her world, but it's probably a secret to anyone else.
So she clears her throat and taps on the shoulder of someone already in/near the altar area and gives a friendly, albeit nervous, smile and a wave]
Hello! My name's Charlie, sorry to interrupt you, buuuttt, would it be okay if we went in there? I did one of those slot things, you see, and I have to tell someone a secret, so... Please?
[OOC: Adding this note at the very top due to the nature of her canon, but Shequraso's background makes it difficult to completely gloss over these topics and they may come up during threads: prostitution, murder, misogyny, discrimination, assault, sexual assault and violence, underage sex, violence against women. I will avoid mentions as much as possible though. To avoid discomfort, I'm opting to just keep a toplevel here instead of tagging around. Please keep this in mind if tagging her. Thank you!]
01. YOU'RE HOT, CHOCOLATE [ Among the skills that Vi has had to learn on the street? Compartmentalizing.
She doesn't want to be here. That's just the kind of constant background noise of her mind. Piltover and the undercity are in a state of chaos, Powder is still on the run, Silco is still in danger of making trouble, the council isn't going to get anything done - but she can't worry about any of that at the moment, can she? She can't worry about what's going on outside the walls, because otherwise it's going to eat the inside of her mind with greedy, crumb-mouthed bites. She learned that, years ago, surrounded by concrete and iron and echoing, monstrous voices.
At least this is a prettier prison, full of prettier people. The thought of not being able to leave makes her skin itch and her bones feel tight, but she can live with it. So she tells herself, anyway.
So she stalks around, wanders, tries to get the lay of the land, and maybe it's inevitable she ends up there. A sweets shop, all baked goods and creamy treats and chocolate, and called Great Tit? Yeah, it feels like more than a bit targeted at her, and she stares at the cupcakes in the window with a slight dry displeasure before deciding that she isn't going to deny herself anything. Or let anyone else do it, either.
There's a crowd, thick and urgent and pushing. For something. For what? Eh, Vi isn't really that concerned with the details. It must be good and it must be delicious, and throwing her stamp on this place by taking something that she wants, even if she doesn't fully know what it is, sounds like just the way to get her head straight. The fact that this is terrible logic goes unconsidered. Once a criminal, always a criminal, maybe.
The truffles demand a fight, and they get one. Her fists aren't rusty, that's for damn sure, or her elbows, or her knees. She muscles her way through the crowd without much difficulty, surrounded mostly by the soft and fussy type that look like they belong topside, and very, very topside indeed. Pushes them aside and ends up stumbling out with a box in her hands containing - truffles, she guesses? She doesn't really care, about that or about Alessandro. She cares about a win. Besides, it's to help this game, right? 52? Maybe that's her ticket out, or into a brighter Piltover. Maybe she has to cling to that.
And a game demands playing. She zeroes in on someone quickly enough, bouncing the box in her palm. Someone pretty, and maybe someone that it looks like she can bulldoze over at first glance. This may or may not be a horrible judgement of character. ]
Hey there. Sweet treat for a sweet treat? [ she asks, holding the box somewhat proudly, with a crooked grin on her face. ]
02. GOING DOWN, OBVIOUSLY [ Claustrophobia, Vi thinks, is a strong word. Mostly because she doesn't like thinking that she has fear in her heart, or would ever enjoy admitting to it, because that's not the kind of person she is. Right? Right.
But the simple fact is, one can't spend years, years, trapped in a five-foot-by-five-foot box, no freedom, no escape, without developing a few, shall we say, hang ups about the matter. Vi was already not thrilled with taking an elevator down to the bottom floor, and she was pretty sure to begin with that she should have taken the stairs to begin with, but maybe, just maybe, she saw someone pretty slipping in through the door and decided to take a chance.
She needs to stop leading with her face. Or her heart. Or maybe something a little lower.
Because now the elevator has shuddered to a heart, and she is not thrilled with the matter. Less thrilled, in fact, that the large and ornate painting of two women in the room? Has gone ahead and started talking, and she's worried at first that she's been dosed with something, or - you are your sister's sister, aren't you? - no no, it can't be that - but then the other occupant of the elevator is reacting, too. At least she's not imagining it. Or crazy. ]
"Aren't you two cute? Show us some flirting, give us a treat! We'll let you go after you entertain us a bit.
Not happening, [ Vi snaps, trying to turn away. It, of course, doesn't help. ]
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?
[ And all Vi can do is turn her head, look over her should and shoot her companion a look. Should we? ]
03. WILDCARD BITCHES, YEEHAW [ or truly just pick the "go with god" option, I am down. vi is feeling scrappy and more than a little feisty at the moment on account of the kidnapping and the disorientation and the recently breaking up with her maybe romance because feelings are hard (tm).
as far as smut goes, i still need to put up a kink list but the answer to most things is "yes" and her "no" list isn't anything out of the ordinary. she likes topping but pretty girls can and sometimes do make her brain run out of her ears so do with that what you will. men are going to have an uphill battle at this point to get in her pants, and she's going to be, mmmm, shall we say brusque when she does indulge. good luck. ]
