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!

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.

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.

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. Some very special guests may even receive both challenges — or continuously receive a new challenge when the last 24 hours is up. The resort just wants you to have the most fun possible!
NOTES
▶ All effects from the swim-up bar last around 2-3 hours, but may be extended by having another drink.


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.

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.

ii-a swimmies
eiden expected to see familiar faces, but there's something about seeing wriothesley in particular looking like he's really in his element here, underneath the water. he's just had his own fair share of holding onto summer, and while he was planning on just floating on through, he instead swims downwards, further, towards him.
so he kicks forward and reaches out towards him - if he lets him, fingertips grazing his arm. his eyes are easy and gentle, and the grin is broad, a silent "hey" with all the warmth. ]
no subject
When he feels something against his arm he jerks a little, stopping to turn to see what it might have been. If not for the ability to breathe underwater, he thinks he might have choked seeing the man who had touched his arm. Eyes go wide and he's shocked at the familiar man.
He doesn't forget faces, but it had been months. Many months. A stream of bubbles escape his mouth as he obviously had yelled some expletive words.]
no subject
it's pretty impressive, seeing the control the other has as he moves through the water - honed, like he was really meant for it. eiden's a strong swimmer, but probably not quite as graceful. he's functional!
still, he offers his hand out happily. this drink is dope - underwater reunions are amazing. in any case, he holds out his hands - take! or hug! he might actually just hug him if he allows it... he doesn't care, he's just really... really happy to see someone he recognizes. ]
no subject
There's something nice to see Eiden again. They clicked well, but the man's presence disappeared so soon that he merely had to move on. If Eiden had shown up with no recollection alongside seeing Furina too, it might trouble his heart greatly.
Instead, it can breathe and soar through the waves.]
no subject
the laughter, even if it can't be heard, eiden can feel it and he's laughing too—fast and tight delirious giggles almost because this? this is perfect, this is what he needed. the realization that he's real and he's solid and soft and breathing (subjective underwater) again.
he pushes up a bit, so that he can nudge them nose to nose, mouth spread into a satisfied smile. in the bubbles that leave his mouth, he says the shape of his name, more to himself than anything. ]
no subject
They can't speak to each other, but there is obvious delight in seeing Eiden again.
He finally pulls away, lacing their fingers together as he moves and tugs. A silent request to swim with him.]
no subject
with one last kiss to the cheek, he's happy to be tugged along, to accept the invitation, kicking forward a bit to catch up with him. ]
no subject
They glide and twirl and spin through the water. Wriothesley moves like he was meant to be there. Maybe he was a mermaid in another life.
Eventually, they can feel the affects of the drink slowly wearing off. How breathing in the water becomes a little more uncomfortable instead of that refreshing feeling that comes with breathing it in like before.]
no subject
he's got a lot more questions, but for now he enjoys it until he starts to feel the faint tickle of needing air once more. he touches him gently on the shoulder, a finger tapping his own throat as if in indication of the situation at hand.
he's not like DYING though, he's pretty fine as far as just noticing the drink definitely has a bit of a limit, which is fine. that's to be expected. still, all the same, he'll follow his lead since it seems like he's quite good at swimming. he's definitely not afraid of just up and drowning, that's certain. ]
no subject
Even if he knows he’ll probably end up in the waters again at some point with another drink under his belt.
Once the water is shallow enough, he plants his feet onto the ground and stands up, taking a deep breath of air.] That was a pretty good swim.
no subject
That was amazing...! You were so at home in the water, maybe I should ask for some pro swim lessones, heh.
[ and then with a little wink. ]
Good to see you again, Your Grace.
no subject
I don’t need to hear that coming from you. [Eiden’s face disappearing around the resort wasn’t lost to the boxer. Having found statues of others meant that he was familiar that Eiden’s disappearance must have been similar.
He could still give them a slight hard time. A lot has happened through the months.]
I didn’t realize people might come back. [Which is it’s own can of worms, but that’s not important right now.] I think I deserve a kiss for the emotional damage.
no subject
[ he doesn't mind the punch to the arm, reaching to bap bap gently back at him, laughing. and it's an earnest laugh, actually. he needs to feel something like this, it feels warm, real, the total opposite of the last sensations he can recall. he nudges him. ]
Emotional damage from me being gone?
[ reaching up his arms, he beckons him downward slightly. he can have a kiss, of course, he can have as many as he wants? ]
Come here, I'll try and make it up to you.
no subject
[And while Wriothesley seems cheerful, those words are heavy in their own way. He probably isn't the only one, but knowing more and more people are disappearing or turning to stone, being here still is a lonely feeling.
He isn't thinking about that as he lifts the other up in his arms.]
Better make the kiss count, sweetheart.
no subject
[ sorry i'm terrible for your inbox and sling these right back.
eiden doesn't expect to be lifted and laughs a little, slinging arms around his neck and and letting fingers thread through his wet hair. there's something about skin that still smells like the sea, a little tacky with salt drying in the sun. when he presses his lips to his, they're salty and warm, and his tongue that gently nudges with its tip tastes a little sweet by contrast, asking for permission to deepen.
it needs to count, right? ]
no subject
The kiss is chaste in a way, something sweet and caring that lacks the heated hunger of something more desperate. It truly feels like a kiss that was welcoming Eiden back.]
no subject
Feel real enough?
[ he maybe ducks in to squeeze in another hug, pressing closely, genuinely. the hug is almost kind of desperate, and maybe that's because of the residual memory that he has hanging off of him. even if the warm sun and the salty water, and the delight of seeing old friends again, it sticks to him like tar, clings, and it'll take a bit for him to shove it in the box where it belongs. that's fine. ]
no subject
[The words are asked gently. He doesn't know what got Eiden to come back or how, but he doesn't doubt that there is something jarring about it for the other. This was as much of a reunion for Eiden as it was for him. The only difference seems to be who experienced the passing of time, but Wriothesley is aware enough to understand that there is something equally disturbing of finding out time had passed greatly from one's point of view.
He presses another chaste kiss to the other's face as he carries Eiden out of the water.]
no subject
Yes.
[ in meme terms: it's maybe for both of them.
eiden just gives one last laugh at the kiss to his face, basking in it with a little hum as he gets carried out of the water to dry off a little bit before his next venture. but in turn he leaves a soft kiss on the man's cheek, taking one last taste of salt for himself to keep close and remind himself he's awake again. ]
