TDM 04

【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made on our brand new beachfront for new guests. We will endeavor to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience. Affected guests may convene with the nearest lifeguard or reception for a complimentary swimsuit, at their earliest convenience.

Please remember that beach-appropriate attire is mandatory. Guests found breaking dress code may be escorted off the beach until they return in proper swimwear. We hope you enjoy your stay, and have a beachy keen experience. 】

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY

A BRAND NEW DEVELOPMENT

As the resort moves into what it claims is summer, the days grow longer. The sun is projected well into the evening, the heat of its warmth dialed up to a level some guests complain is unreasonable. Then there’s the most excessive transformation of all – half the Cloud Dwelling Gardens have been transformed into a sparkling beach of white sands and blue waves, seemingly overnight. Statues nearby have been dressed up with wide hats and stylish sarongs. Upbeat music fills the air without any discernible source.

A section of the beach has been reserved for a collection of bungalows. These cute pastel homes open straight onto the sand, and are comparable in size and amenity to a rank 7 or 8 suite. All screens within these bungalows are fixed to a channel that airs reruns of Boobwatch around the clock, a classic TV series about blue-footed boobys running in slow-motion across the beach. Staff and long-standing guests all agree — there’s no better summer programming than this!

IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE▷ Thanks to a classic move called “overbooking,” new arrivals are being checked in to all this wondrous new property that’s just opened up. The catch? Why, characters are stuffed up to 4 in a room, of course. Don’t worry, that’s what the bunk beds are for!

▷ Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are a light and breezy linen, patterned with tropical flowers and colorful designs. Some of these robes are more sheer than others. Watch out that the gentle breeze on the beach doesn’t reveal more than you wanted.

▷ Existing characters are welcome to temporarily take up residence in any empty slots in these homes. The staff understand that sometimes you want to pretend to be a brand new guest again, all bright-eyed and ready for adventure. They can even lock you out of your real room for an extra bit of authenticity. No need to ask! It’s all taken care of already.

THOSE WHO POUND SAND▷ Several lifeguards have been newly hired to protect the beach and its visitors. These burly fellows and lasses all have three things in common: skimpy swimwear, rippling muscles, and seagull heads. They spend most of their time hanging out in groups, flexing and gossiping loudly. If characters approach them for their complimentary swimwear, they will provide whatever they’re currently wearing for them to use... by force, if necessary.

▷ Characters who seem particularly vulnerable or are holding something particularly tasty may find themselves surrounded by these lifeguards out of nowhere. The seagulls are relentless, pushing and shoving and pulling hair until they get what they want. Hope you didn’t like your sand castle very much. Those on the lower end of the rank scale will suffer the worst harassment, and they may even go out of their way to harass wildcards, 2s, and 3s just for the heck of it.

▷ Being new hires and fairly low on the resort staff hierarchy, these troublemakers can be easily chased off by someone of a high enough rank, or an assertive enough presence to pass as one. T-they’re not scared! They just remembered they have a mandatory group cawing session to get to! Buzz off!

FUN IN THE SUN

DON'T FORGET TO OIL UP

What’s a beach without fun and games? Dreadfully boring! That’s why all of the beach classics have been expertly set up by staff, including strip volleyball nets, giant boob-shaped beach balls, and plenty of floaties for use in the shallower areas of the temporary ocean. A row of parasols with paired lounge chairs underneath them are placed in some prime viewing areas for festivities. Any time you get thirsty, there’s always a cooler full of canned drinks conveniently nearby, courtesy of Cock-a-Doodle-Doo’s. Sometimes you can hear the staff whispering to each other, “What if it’s too perfect? We won’t be able to deal with the ratings dip once the beach ends!”

Seashells have been arbitrarily scattered along the shoreline, coming in both natural shapes and ones a little more... erotic. The sexiest ones of all are conch shells that let you hear the moans of another guest when held up to your ear; supposedly, if you hook up with the person on the other end of the shell, you’ll be extra lucky in the casino for the rest of the summer. All in all, it’s a carefully tailored creation that can be called nothing short of paradise.

THE BEACH BUNNY BARBECUE BONANZA▷ This booth constantly has smoke billowing out the top and is manned during the entire day by one man – Steve, formerly from reception. It seems this is his punishment duty for be-bathrooming all of the arrivals, last time. Those willing to lend Steve a sympathetic ear will be entreated to bring him water, since the sweltering heat of the booth dries him out like nobody’s business. No matter how characters try to help him, though, a tragedy always occurs and the water always ends up spilled across the sand. That curse really is something, huh?

▷ The signature item at this cookout are the Flamin’ Hop Skewers. Made due to the current overpopulation in the Conservatory, these spicy-sweet — emphasis on the spicy — glazed skewers temporarily grant those who consume them the soul of a rabbit, including their insatiable desire to mate. Any rabbits that resort-goers have formed an attachment with have not been culled, so don’t worry about your precious buns!

▷ The booth also boasts several other exotic meats and vegetables that are considerably safer to eat, for guests who find themselves unable to overcome their attachment. Some of these skewers also feature fruits, including the hybrid ones from the previous gardening collab with the Dizzy Pigeon. Characters are free to revisit any of the Orchard prompts under the Smoky Nectar section of our PREVIOUS TDM.

A SHOW OF STRENGTH▷ When the projected sun is at its highest, staff members will start bringing out tarps and watermelons, fresh from the gardens. What’s that, you ask? Oh, of course these were donated willingly! What a strange question!

▷ The goal is to smash the watermelon the staff give you until the succulent red fruit inside is splattered all across the tarp, perfect for falling comically into or... eating, if you’re into that. The rules are that you must use your buttocks to do so, and you only get two tries. Successfully cracking open the watermelon on the first try will earn characters a large payout, and if it’s on the second try, a medium payout.

▷ Failing to bust a watermelon at all won’t have any penalties associated with it, and you can always try again tomorrow! In order to keep their watermelon supplies steady for the duration of the beach festivities, the staff do ask that guests attempt this no more than once per day.

DAYDREAM PARASOLS▷ Every umbrella set up on the sands has two lounge chairs set up underneath it, with a shared table between them. The chairs are padded and oh-so-comfy — sitting in them for too long while another person is present will result in both characters falling into a deep sleep.

▷ While asleep, characters will discover they’re sharing a dream with their umbrella-mate. The dream is always set on the same beach as the waking world, but there are floating clouds and sparkles in a range of pastel colors. Other beachgoers are faceless, if not entirely absent. It’s just the two of you.

▷ Anything the characters think of can drift in and out of the dreamscape, including but not limited to items from home, scary monsters to dramatically rescue your partner from, and strange abilities to fly or float through the air. However, characters will also be at full suit activation in the dream. Once both characters orgasm or they naturally wake up from their naps, they’ll find things are entirely back to normal, as much as they ever are in the resort.

NOTES

▶ All new arrivals have been issued four food and four clothing vouchers. These vouchers are as good as money around the resort. The staff will strongly insist on characters picking out "summery" attire with it, though.

▶ Existing characters may be booted into the bungalows or locked out of their room against their will. We leave it up to player discretion if this happens and the degree to which they're removed from their normal suite.

▶ For the Daydream Parasols, wildcards may be afflicted by whichever suit their player prefers for the duration of the dream. This will have no bearing on their suit selection when applying, and suit effects should not manifest once back in the waking world. It's just a dream, after all!

▶ The dreamscape has no explicit time limit, so feel free to make them as long or as short as desired. Dreams should also be sexy first and foremost. While you can include your mom dying in the background if you'd like, you have to be horny about it too.

TWINKLING CURRENTS

THE PARTY NEVER STOPS

As the sun sets in a cascade of colors over the water, lamps are lit and floating lights surface from the depths. Stars twinkle in the sky, and Steve is finally released from his smoky shackles. Though the daytime amenities have gone to sleep, the night promises its own set of beachy wonders sure to please even the most distinguished of vacationers.

Flyers posted in the lobby and in the hallways promise of a bar ran by the most enchanting mermaids you could ever want to fuck, as well as a fireworks show in every color, including ones you’ve never heard of. With the seagulls gone to bed, peace settles across the sands, tinted blue, yellow, and pink from the myriad of lights. For those seeking a more subdued, romantic air — this is the beach for you.

SWIM UP TO THE BAR▷ While the advertisements promised mermaids, they were careful not to include any photos or illustrations. Wading out into the sea to the floating bar quickly illustrates why: these merfolk are fish on top, not the bottom! If asked about this configuration or accused of being unsexy, they’ll lift their elegant legs out of the water and exclaim, “How else would you be able to fuck us if not for these!” Though a few guests seem unsatisfied by this clarification, there are no complaints about the drinks themselves.

▷ HOLDING ON TO SUMMER. This cocktail brings seaberry-gin, limoncello, white crème de cacao, and freshly squeezed lemon juice over pebbled ice, wrapping you in decadent flavors accenting the season. Drinking this cocktail can cause you to be overcome with the desire to lean back and sink into the ocean itself, but fret not! It also grants you the wonderful ability to breathe underwater, no gills required! And it’s topped with a yummy little ball of white chocolate.

▷ MANGO STAR. A delightfully bright drink in a highball glass, the combination of elderflower rose syrup and seaberry-gin floats a summery pink over the orange mixture of mango juice, lime juice and honey syrup on the bottom. On top are two cute little stars cut out of mango, accented with mint leaves. Guests who drink this cocktail report some confusion in the identity of other guests, as just one drink is enough to shift perception of others. Other characters may appear to be different guests of the resort, or familiar faces from home.

▷ SEABERRY FLORADORA. This is a vibrant cocktail made of seaberry-gin, ginger beer, lime juice and raspberry syrup, highlighted by floral ice cubes and edible flowers. Despite its bright pink color indicating a level of cheerfulness for the summer, this flavorful cocktail causes guests to be quickly overwhelmed with a sense of loneliness. The longer this sensation goes on, the more guests will try to seek out company to aid in the ache, even if it means appearing quite desperate in the process. Each successive drink will increase the severity of the effect.

▷ BLACKBERRY ROSEMARY GIMLET. Blackberries, rosemary sprigs, simple syrup, and a combination of seaberry-gin and lime juice make this aromatic cocktail. It’s double strained over ice and garnished with a blackberry on a pick, giving it a regal appearance. Drinking this cocktail causes obsessive and possessive behavior, however — sometimes to extreme levels. Should your partner choose this cocktail to drink, you may not want to mention anything that could make them jealous. Each successive drink will increase the severity of the effect.

▷ JUST SOME SEAWATER? Questioning the mermaids and mermen on how they came to be the way that they are will result in them offering you an item off the sea-cret menu. Taking a glass from the bar, they dip it into the ocean and offer it right over to you. Drinking the seawater does, in fact, turn you into a very sexy reverse merman or mermaid. This occurs whether or not you drink it from the glass or take in a gulp while swimming, so watch out!

ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY▷ Where else could you get a perfect view of the stars? Despite the sea of lights below, the artificial nature of the skies in the resort means that all guests get an unrivaled view of the galaxy. Which galaxy? Why, any of them — characters will see a shifting range of constellations from night to night, including ones they don’t recognize, ones shaped a bit like something you might find in Love Dove, and ones that are identical to those from their home. Happy gazing!

▷ A fireworks show is held every night, from 10PM until 1AM. The noises are just loud enough to block out a whispered confession timed correctly, but aren’t quite enough to inhibit conversation. Most of the fireworks are from a design series known as Matteo’s Masterpieces, and range from the standard burst to abstract shapes to... well, you know. Unlike the sloppy doodles found in the margins of books while Swan Lake was decaying, all of the boobs and dicks blasted across the sky are very well rendered. For fireworks.

SANDY SCAVENGING

A GAME OF BEACHES

It wouldn't be the Golden Peacock without a game for guests to play! All guests that wander into the beach area may find themselves receiving one of two Watch messages.

INTO THE DEPTHS

IT'S HIGH TIDE WE GET OUT OF HERE

Though the beach experience is perfect on the surface, things are less elegant behind the scenes. Wave-making machines pulse and rattle down below, shaking the ceiling of the basement suites. Water leaks from pipes, streaking across walls and pooling on the uneven floors. The maintenance levels are abuzz with staff setting out buckets and pans, shooing lost guests away with a heightened level of urgency. Someone got a little too enthusiastic with mopping, they claim. Nothing to worry about at all!

Even the ocean itself isn’t without its issues. Despite appearing as a boundless expanse from the shore, the walls of the Golden Peacock are a very real factor. To avoid any undue damage to the screens that comprise the sky, the sea stops abruptly before it reaches them, cascading into a waterfall all the way down to the depths of the resort. Gentle currents become swirling vortexes and choppy waves, sure to pull down any guests that aren’t careful about where they swim. A few gull-guards patrol the line of buoys that mark the end of the safe swimming area, but the primary line of defense the resort relies on is the utter disinterest most of its guests have.

TUMBLING DOWN▷ Characters who stray past the line of buoys out in the far sea will find themselves caught in a riptide that sucks them straight over the edge of the water. This applies both to characters swimming, or characters in some sort of vessel, such as a small rowboat borrowed from the staff.

▷ Feel free to make up any sort of vehicle rentals in general, as long as they’re reasonable in size — they should be able to accommodate 1-2 characters at most. A waverider would be okay, but a yacht would not.

▷ While falling down the waterfall, characters will temporarily black out before hitting anything solid. They will resurface anywhere there is standing water, whether that be a flooded hallway, in the Crane’s Respite, or even in someone’s open toilet bowl. There are no limitations on where in the resort the resurfacing can happen; even the bathrooms at Roost aren’t safe from this teleportation.

A RISING FLOOD▷ Drainage is a difficult aspect to manage. Though the majority of the seawater is recycled to maintain the ocean above, enough of it is siphoned off for deeper filtration that the resort’s plumbing systems simply can’t handle the volume. Leaks are happening on all floors below ground, increasing in depth the further down into the basement characters go.

▷ Characters living in the rank 2, 3, and 4 suites may notice that in addition to having leaks in the hallway, their own rooms are also flooding. This can range anywhere from a constant, unpleasantly damp floor, to having an entire cascade of water blow them and any other unsuspecting guests down several hallways the moment their door is opened. Life vests are recommended.

▷ The flooding will intensify as the event goes on, culminating in some of the maintenance levels being entirely underwater towards the end of the event. Once the event is over, the flooding will recede within about a day, leaving only a few water stains here and there as evidence of their presence.

NOTES

▶ Any amount of standing water is a valid target for a character’s resurfacing, even something as minor as a glass of water. For situations where a character would not actively fit into the source of their arrival, they will be violently flung out of it, knocking over or spilling it in the process if that’s possible.

▶ As always, players are free to control the level to which their individual characters are affected, and being flooded out of their space is not mandatory.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

i. those who pound sand.

[ when you go searching for cute blubberbeasts but find only a flock of mean-spirited gulls....

which is to say that today the sun shines down on one (1) furina de fontaine, curled around herself on the beach, strands of white and blue hair being tugged every which way by the single-minded lifeguards as she vainly tries to swat them away. from underneath all the squawking, the sound of soft cries and protests can be heard.

a hand perhaps, s'il vous plait? ]

ii. swim up to the bar.

[ it isn't fonta or a freshly brewed cup of tea, but the drink isn't so bad. sweet and a little sour, the flavors mix delightfully on her tongue, and she giggles to herself as she sips away at her drink. maybe this place isn't so bad......? ignoring the everything about it. but the weather's nice and both food and drink flow freely, and if the knave happens to be standing right there then that's—

furina stills, her entire face going pale, and she makes a mad scramble for the nearest figure tall enough to hide behind, her drink sloshing over her hands and onto the sand below. so sorry, mysterious sir or madam, but she needs to borrow you as a shield, thank you!

carefully, breathing shallow in her chest, she peeks out from one side. ]

She...she didn't see me, did she?

[ literally who is this she???? ]

iii. scavenger hunt (sfw).

[ halfway through the scavenger hunt, furina runs into a problem.

no one seems to want to give her their things.

which is ridiculous, really, if you think about it. they're just a few bits and bobs, odds and ends easily replaced. why, there's a stall just down the way teeming with sunglasses of all styles and colors. and the sandals! they're at the beach! there's no need to wear sandals when the sand is soft and fine against one's feet. and yet here she is, with only a single pair of sunglasses to her name. ugh!!!!! this absolutely won't do.

desperate times call for desperate measures.

those desperate measures? stealing apparently, furina loitering behind a nearby shack until some poor soul's wandered away from their beachfront chair, at which point she makes her move.....her move of awkwardly scuttling towards the chair and riffling through the person's bag as quick as possible. a cute little umbrella keychain, some sunscreen....aha, there they are, sunglasses! she yanks out her prize and holds it triumphantly in the air—

—only to swivel her head and see that the owner of said sunglasses has returned much earlier than expected. oh. oh dear.

her entire being seems to wilt ten centimeters. but!!!! she does her best to rally in the face of her blatant crime, clearing her throat and straightening once again. ]

W-why, hello there! Lovely day at the beach today, isn't it? I was—well, that is—you see, my eyes, they're very, um...

[ help. ]

iv. fireworks.

[ in the past, she'd always been the recipient of fireworks rather than one of the faceless audience members watching them. and why wouldn't she have been? fontaine's beloved hydro archon, their regina, the superstar of every production....it'd only been right that she be celebrated and venerated at every opportunity, no?

of course, things are different now. sitting on the beach, her knees tucked up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs, she finds she doesn't mind being part of the audience now, enjoying the fireworks rather than preening to them. the colors really are quite lovely, and some of the designs quite spectacular. obviously whoever had designed these had really put their heart and soul into it. well, bravo to them, bravo.

she takes a sip of her drink right as the next firework blooms. a mistake, because what fills the air isn't a bird or a flower but rather a fully erect dick right in the process of shooting its load. oh look, there's even a little vein cutting down one side. truly, exquisite attention to detail.

the sound of the fireworks aren't quite loud enough to drown out the sound of her hacking and wheezing as she desperately tries to recover from a shot of fizzy soda shooting right down her windpipe. ]

v. wildcard.

[ ooc: for anything else not listed! tentatively open to doing the daydream parasols prompt but i'd prefer to be contacted about that in advance. otherwise, 18+, m/f and f/f both fine in the event nsfw occurs. PM me with any questions. ]

Scram! [He's had enough of the lifeguards, honestly. What's the point of having these guys if they're just going to harass the beachgoers like they are? Not even harass? These guys were straight up attacking people as they pleased.

And if the lifeguards are going to get handsy, Wriothesley was definitely going to return the favor. It's why he grabs one of them, raising them into the air with one hand.] You better go back to doing your jobs if you know what's good for you.

[He tosses the lifeguard down into the sand, watching how the group of the muscleheads immediately scramble away with their egos bruised. He hasn't turned back to Furina yet, making sure the group that had attacked her aren't in sight anymore.

Wriothesley is dressed down in a simple pair of black swim shorts and his arms are wrapped in black wraps. His Vision is attached on a rope and tied around the waistband of his shorts. The usually shorthaired warden currently had a long messy mane that was tied into a loose ponytail.]

[ and what a hand she gets, though in approximately two minutes furina will deeply and furiously wish she'd never been offered this hand in the first place.

the return of sunshine into her eyes is the first sign that her overly adoring fans have vacated the premises, with the second sign being an oddly famililar voice that rolls across the beach. she sniffs, rolling up onto her knees. she's obviously spent too much time in the sun, because there's no possible way that voice could belong to who she thinks it does. haha, no way.

except she opens her eyes. stares. takes in that familiar salt-and-pepper hair (except wait, it's long? long enough to tie back???), the cryo vision that hangs off his shorts, that solid build needed to run a place like the fortress of meropide. nope, that's definitely— ]

Wriothesley?

[ it's a squawk comparable to the ones let out by the gulls on the beach and she's quick to scramble to her feet, free hand furiously wiping at the drying tears on her cheeks. ugh, of all the people to have caught her in such a comprimising position. how humiliating. ]

Ugh..... [ well, whatever. she fights for her composure, trying to inject a healthy dose of confidence and conceit into her voice. ] So they managed to bring even you here. Who else am I going to see next? Navia? Neuvillette?

[ what's in her other hand? a plastic container with a slice of cake inside, now somewhat crushed. some things never change. ]

[Wriothesley doesn't think he's someone who can be spooked so easily. He's not someone who can be rendered speechless, but here he was gobsmacked when he hears the familiar lilt that belongs to Furina. He whips around to face her completely and-]

Furina?

[And the man looks like he's seen a ghost. To some extent, he has. This is not the first time he's seen Furina before, but her unfamiliarity to the resort has him hesitate on how he wants to handle this.

He shoves those feelings away quickly though and he moves to help her back to her feet. A steady hand on her arm as he rights her up and starts to dust sand off her. His gaze was...soft? There was something in the way he looked at her that made it just obvious that the smile he gives her is not quite genuine. Or at least, there is a tinge of sadness that lingers.] Hah... Who knows, actually. [He does. He knows.]

Actually...I've been here for half a year now. It sounds like you've just arrived though?

Half a year?

[ her recent composure flies out the window as her voice descends back into a graceless squawk, that last word pitching up so high it's almost inaudible. ]

But that's—

[ impossible is what she wants to say, but after everything that's happened, the flood of fontaine followed by focalors' final judgement, is the disappearance of a single man truly so impossible? it's not as though she keeps tabs on him, more than happy to let neuvillette and the rest of the palais handle any correspondence with the fortress of meropide. she'd had better things to worry about than a bunch of convicts and afterwards.....well, she'd had a lot of self-reflection to do.

still has a lot of self-reflection to do.

she chews her lip, uncertain of how to proceed. her dealings with wriothesley have been few and far between, limited largely to the occasional gift of tea sent her way. (all very good tea, to be fair.) but neuvillette had always vouched for the man, claimed him to be trustworthy, and she had always trusted neuvillette. in that case...she sighs, closing her eyes briefly. ]

That's right. I find myself one of the newest arrivals to this [ what was it again, she wracks her brains for the name ] Golden Peacock, though I assure you that had I been allowed to book my own vacation, I never would have chosen some place as [ ... ] off-color as this. But! Since I'm already here and expected to stay, and since you've been here for quite some time now it seems, I'm sure you wouldn't mind taking some time out of your busy schedule to show me around the place?

[ a tour of.....a sex resort. great. why doesn't she just let the sand swallow her whole instead. ]
