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.

[ Nami's nose wrinkles at the memory of how invasive it felt to have an entourage for the first few hours, before she started testing the limits of what they were willing to do for her.
Mitsuru's question catches Nami off-guard, which isn't anything new. The other woman excels at inadvertently drawing more out of Nami than she ever expected to give anybody here. ]
Maybe. Being a woman and a king sounds fun, but I'm fine where I am. I've got someplace to go when the resort gets shitty. The peace and quiet might help me think of a way out of this.
[ Watching her friend, Nami takes a sip of champagne before she shifts closer to Mitsuru, her eyes creasing shrewdly, just at the corners, hinting at an underlying curiosity. ]
Why? Are you?
no subject
[ She had maids back home, it's not an unusual to her to have someone being present much of the time... However, boundaries aren't so much of a respected concept here.
She chuckles softly. ]
I think you'd make an exceptional king.
[ Why? That catches her off guard... ]
No reason... You just seemed as though you were still working at expanding your influence and moving upwards. Our arrangement was part of that after all.
[ Why else would she continue to see Mitsuru as much as this? The younger redhead doesn't say as much, but for a moment there is a fleeting look in her eye that almost looks nervous. As though she wants to question further but temporarily thinks better of it, although her tone of voice remains calm and level as ever. ]
No plans here, I have no need to go beyond my current rank.
no subject
[ Nami repeats, seemingly turning the notion over in her mind as she takes another sip of her champagne. That Mitsuru seems strangely tense, talking about this hasn't escaped her notice, but given her penchant for keeping her own cards close to her chest, she refrains from prying about Mitsuru's response.
Exhaling in a soft chuckle as she shakes her head, Nami meets Mitsuru's eye, a slight, lopsided smirk curving over full lips as she does her best to ignore the flush of warmth creeping up her shoulders and over the back of her neck. ]
Kind of forgot about our arrangement, if I'm honest.
[ Nervousness flutters through her stomach, getting those words out. It's not like Nami to forget anything having to do with business, especially not the business of getting ahead, but even if Mitsuru had helped her get to where she wanted to go, somewhere along the line – maybe that week everyone had tails, and she spent the night cuddling close to the younger woman, saying sweet, stupid things and making her come – Nami forgot this was supposed to be strictly business. ]
That your way of telling me we're done helping each other?
[ Might as well just go for it and ask about what she least wants to know the answer to. Better to get it over with, if that's what it turns out Mitsuru's trying to say. ]
no subject
And truthfully? Mitsuru had forgotten as well. Several times over. Perhaps lately she had even been purposefully shoving it to the back of her mind. Daring to believe those times they had spent together recently, especially now that Nami too had reached the rank of queen, had nothing whatsoever to do with strategy or gaining position within the casino.
How does she put that into words? It's one of the few times the extremely eloquent redhead almost seems lost for them. That is until Nami mentions the idea of them being done. She didn't expect that word to have such a strong impression on her, to leave her with a feeling in her core like a heavy stone sinking to the bottom of the ocean- She blurts out her response with barely a though for once, ]
Yes.
[ Her face is a deep scarlet by the time she manages to speak again. ]
I am done with helping you, Nami. Because I believe this may have gone beyond just helping one another. [ She forces herself not to avert her eyes as she continues with a breath. ] Now I just want to spend time with you without the trappings of an arrangement.
no subject
For all the times she's had to hold onto her poker face for dear life, it cracks at the hasty way her friend answers her, one eyebrow lifting as her mouth shifts down, sinking into a slight frown. Attachments were something she avoided forming, but months at the resort, seeing the same people over and over, without need for the defensive pretenses she's relied on for years to keep other people safe – especially someone she's covered so much uncharted ground with as she has Mitsuru.
Just as she's about to brace herself and work out a casually cool response, Mitsuru finishes her thought, and Nami's eyes grow round. Warmth creeps up her back as she finds herself nodding her head without thinking about it first. ]
The real benefit of our arrangement started being you really quick.
[ That traitorous flush finds its way up her neck and onto her face, leaving Nami blushing furiously as she blurts out that admission. ]
Even without the arrangement, it's still gonna be spending time with you.
no subject
The deep flush still present on those usually alabaster cheeks, the wide eyes and the smile on her lips to follow all confirm the darker haired woman's delight in that response. She attempts to compose herself somewhat with her own reply. ]
Then I'm... I'm very glad to hear that, Nami.
...Do you perhaps wish to take a closer look at one of those beachfront properties later?
[ They're hardly a queen suite but anywhere she can get her hands on Nami and with an ocean view to boot can only be a good thing in her eyes. Perhaps they might even spend the night... ]
no subject
Does that mean…you…?
[ The question tapers off before Nami can reach the end of her thought and commit to asking Mitsuru directly if that means she feels the same. Instead, she gives her friend a hopeful smile, raising her eyebrows at her before her lips press together in anticipation. ]
We could find somewhere to relax later, but, since we're on a boat, and I am a pirate…
[ Again Nami trails off, although this time it's less winsome and far more impish. ]
no subject
Yes, it does.
[ It's hard for her to come straight out and say that she spends time with Nami because she likes her in that way. Beyond any kind of business arrangement that this might have started off as. They were definitely both beyond that now and it fills the younger of the two women with relief that she isn't out there alone in feeling that way.
As to matters of the boat they were still on and what Nami says next... ]
Here...?
I suppose we're far enough out that nobody can see us. [ Not that this place isn't designed for everyone to partake in exactly what they want wherever they want, but Mitsuru is still forever clinging to that decency she prides herself on. ]
