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.

Somehow, Scott telling her he's also lonely makes her think about that. Her own loneliness can wait. She's not a priority when her friends (?) could use some help and cheering up. And hey - if she helps him feel better, maybe that will make her feel less lonely. Maybe he'll realise just how good of a person she is and how important she is! That'll get him to seek her out more often for sure. ]
It sucks, doesn't it? Being alone.
[ She gives him a small smile. And now she swings their hands back and forth like a merry child walking hand-in-hand with their friend. ]
I'm here for you, though. You can tell me what's bothering you. Why are you feeling lonely? Did someone tease you too much and make you angry?
no subject
No, Weiss, I... want to be here for you. [He speaks softly, allowing himself to be just a little more open. Emotionally connect with others, he's slowly learning about that again.]
I'm okay right now, really. I promise, I've gotten enough attention by others. [He's not even thinking twice about the double meaning there--]
no subject
So alone!!! ]
If you say so. That's... very sweet of you.
[ Though she hopes he knows he won't just leave her alone now. Especially after saying something like that. ]
I'm actually not sure what's gotten into me today. I think it must be because of the new people around. I haven't seen a familiar face yet.
no subject
Scott likes to think that he's not that callous. He wouldn't do that to a stranger, let alone someone like her. Besides, he truly wants to know what's on her mind and causing that familiar feeling of loneliness to build up. Of course, anyone can feel lonely after being away from home for months, but.]
...Were you hoping to see someone in particular from your home?
no subject
[ Ruby would just not survive. Yang and Blake have only begun their relationship, and she's pretty sure those two would not have a good time.
... then again, are they all supposed to have a good time? Weiss pauses as she considers that, and then asks Scott: ]
What would you do if your friends showed up here? Co-faculty or your students?
[ And does he want them here or not? It's unfortunate to be away from people you care about but you don't want them here at the same time. Weiss lets out a sigh, shoulders drooping as the loneliness fills her again. ]
no subject
I'd be extremely concerned if any of my students showed up. [Especially some of the younger ones. Scott might just have to break all of his own rules and blast the walls apart just to find something if someone too young showed up. He already feels some discomfort to know that teens have been brought here.] I honestly can't promise to be fully rational about it.
[He shakes his head. Hopefully he didn't speak it into existence.]
And I wouldn't want my friends to be trapped here, forced to play a game against their will. [A light breath leaves him, leaning just a bit closer to Weiss to shorten the distance between them.] Perhaps it would make things less lonely, but I'd like to think I'm not so selfish to put my feelings above their safety.
[...] Is that how you feel?
no subject
It's like you read my mind.
[ And it doesn't feel so lonely anymore, knowing someone feels the same way she does. ]
Also? I feel like I'd be dead meat if my older sister ever showed up here.
[ Not even because of, well. . . it's her sister and all. But her sister would be so ashamed of Weiss for slutting it up in a place like this.
Saying that out loud gets her to laugh a little, though. And with that, her shoulders relax. Weiss is a lot calmer now, more thoughtful and less dramatic. ]
Do you have siblings?
no subject
Her older sister, huh? The way Weiss refers to her... he wonders if she's just a little scary. Scott almost smiles at the thought, his mood lightening as she laughs next to him. Guess he isn't too terrible with providing comfort to others, huh? Feels like he hasn't done so in a while.
It helps him be a little more prepared for her next question.]
Yeah... I had an older brother. [There will always be an ache in his chest when he thinks about Alex, even though he died almost a decade ago. It's okay though, with Scott pushing back that twinge of grief to smile sideways at her.] I'd never hear the end of it if he showed up here.
no subject
You're a younger sibling too! I should have known.
[ What does that mean??? It just means she thinks they have a lot in common!
Though she doesn't miss the "was". Past tense. She isn't that insensitive to just ignore it. And so, she gives his hand a squeeze and smiles at him. Just a small one, a comforting one. ]
What was he like? If you wanted to talk about him, of course.
no subject
He always looked like he had everything together. Strong, courageous, popular.
[Long ago, when Alex died... Scott wished that he could've taken his place instead. He believed back then that Alex was going to be the one to do great things. In some way, he still believes that-- he certainly believes that Alex would be fighting out here with him and the other X-Men. Scott just hopes that he's making him proud, even now.
He lightly bumps into her shoulder with his own, smiling a little despite his more quiet tone.]
Hated the thought of letting him down.
no subject
[ Scott's brother sounds like a really great person! It makes her miss Winter all the more now. Of course, Weiss hates the thought of letting anybody down, but the need for Winter's approval is far greater than anyone else's. ]
What about younger siblings, do you have any?
