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.

Yet he fully operates under the assumption that the man before him is just as mortal as he is. Immortals of Concord's type are, truthfully, a incomprehensible breed in Baptiste's world.
For now, at least.]
[When the other man offers him a hand to shake, Baptiste is eager to reciprocate. He meets Concord with a firm handshake, as he tilts his head upward to meet the man's eyes.]
It's a pleasure, Concord. Baptiste LaFontaine. [A beat.] Which, I gave it some thought. Let's do whiskey, shall we? Only the best first impressions start with a whiskey.
[He's 100% made that up. But he made it up very confidently!]
no subject
I believe it.
[Baptiste also makes such a thing up with more than enough confidence to convince the unicorn. It sounds true enough! No reason to doubt. Whiskey is a fine, bracing drink. Concord isn't going to ever turn down a glass (or more) of whiskey.
A close by popup establishment with more of a saloon theme to it catches Concord's eye. He'll lead them to it, liking to stand at a bar more than sit, but maybe that's because of his height. Baptiste is welcome to hop into a seat if he wants to take more of a load off, Concord is busy ordering with the bartender (while his vouchers last...)]
Two whiskey, one neat, if you please.
no subject
The familiarity tugs at his heart. He has to get home- He would get home.
He just has to get to the bottom of all of this.]
[When Concord walks up to the bar and stands at it, Baptiste saunters up beside him. While he'd realized this was a tall man, it didn't fully fold into perspective until the man stood at the bar. Baptiste stands next to him, looking at him with curiosity.
He was about Ada's size... But Ada had been that tall for unnatural reasons. Was this man the same? He wasn't about to ask this time around. Not after being thrown in the garbage by seagull faced people or bitten by a fully bipedal werecat. He'd get his answers - but for now...
For now, he should relax. So he hops up into a stool, only to find with amusement that he still doesn't measure up to the man next to him. He hums, trying to take in more details about the other's appearance as he orders their drinks. An incredibly muscular man. A guard? A soldier? A dockworker? He's an older gentleman, yet clearly still confident in his body given the way he had been prepared to strip earlier.
Baptiste's lips twitch as he tries to puzzle out his first, silent impressions of this man. A habit he'd long built up while tracking quarries for a hunt - he can't help himself. Which means he quickly recognizes the rather familiar looking vouchers Concord is using to pay.]
Oh, oh! Hey. I can get mine- [Baptiste is already rummaging into his pocket for his own voucher. Once he finds the final voucher he has left, he stares at it before putting it on the bar and sliding it toward the other man.] You don't have to spend yours on me. We only get so few, right?
no subject
Concord will give the shirt off his back, or rather the trunks off his ass, at the slightest ask. To offer the vouchers to share a drink was a thoughtless thing for him, too. He doesn't like to condescend with generosity, though. He won't insist if Baptiste thinks this is giving gone too far from Concord.]
If you insist. [he doesn't mind, since Baptiste was who offered to drink with him, it's his decision if he won't also accept a drink...
Which both arrive quickly, Concord's glass lacking ice as instructed. He picks it up and tips it to cheers Baptiste's. Politely mannered, Concord waits for the other man to lift for a sip before he also indulges.]
no subject
Yet the gnarled scar tissue draws a concerned curiosity from the man. How had Concord survived whatever skewered him? The marks on the man's face would draw Baptiste's wonder as he tried to piece together if it was some sort of intentional scarification or not...
But he never comes to a solid conclusion because his eyes keep going back to that scar. Eventually, Baptiste puts a hand to his own side. His fingers tense as he presses into his flesh - his imagination breathing life into a dull ache there.
Luckily, the voucher conversation will pull himself away from his overactive imagination. Baptiste sees an easy win when Concord relents quickly. Yet Baptiste doesn't give his voucher over to the bartender. Instead - he continues to slide the voucher across the bar until it makes contact with Concord's abdomen since the man was standing at the bar. Baptiste then slides the piece of paper just so that a corner hooks into the waistband of Concord's swim bottoms.
Acceptance of a drink from Concord. And Baptiste's own voucher for the man to use later as a gesture of thanks. It's an arrangement that the man is happy to toast when their drinks come.
He tips his drink in kind, thanks to the man who bought it for him - before he will put the rim of the glass to his lips. His eyes close as the taste of whiskey settles in his mouth.
A tension unwinds in Baptiste's shoulders as he pulls the glass back.]
To future friends, hm?
probably a good spot to end this one off
He will be willful, though, and ignore Baptiste's gaze on it. Easy for him, because he's distracted by the man... shimmying a voucher into his waistband. Cheeky man... Concord rolls his eyes, but huffs something amused back. Tipping his glass to Baptiste's it's a little cheers. He confirms the question with a simple agreement,]
Amicable. [Future friends it is.]
