【 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 in our parking garage for all new arrivals. We aim to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience!

All are invited to There Is No Tomorrow, a Phoenix Casino soiree to celebrate our beloved guests. The festivities will begin at 1800 hours on January 20th and end at 1800 hours on January 27th. Please look forward to 168 hours of delight.

In an effort to raise happiness and encourage better guest relationships, attendance is required. The house will assist guests that are too shy to appear of their own accord. Please note that black tie attire is mandatory. As always, we hope you enjoy your stay! 】



PARKING GARAGE
ANY CAR IN A STORM
WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN PEA... CAR? ► Thanks to a classic move called “overbooking,” new arrivals aren't being checked into rooms — the front desk and concierge have made an executive decision to temporarily house new arrivals in the parking garage. This may actually not be as bad as one may think! All of the vehicles in the Golden Peacock's garage are luxury; some are even bigger than the basement suites. There are, however, a limited number of cars available. Guests are booked into cars in pairs or sets of three.

► All vehicles in the Golden Peacock's parking garage are top of the line models. While the body style and year vary, their common denominator is that they are expensive. New arrivals may wake up in any kind of luxury vehicle from a zippy little Maserati to a SUV limousine. Guests waking up in larger, party-style vehicles may find the inside bar stocked with booze and snacks. Due to the nature of waking up in cars, they may wake up anywhere in their new ride. Even the trunk!

► New arrivals wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. This round’s robes are dramatic sets bedazzled with precious gems. These robes are inspired by the 1920s. Some are silk, some are sheer, some are lined with fur. All are over the top. If it has the flavor of old Hollywood or wealth your character can wake up in it. Some lucky guests may even find old fashioned smoking pipes or extended cigarette holders in their robe pockets.

► After briefly being dumbfounded, the valet, who normally has nothing to do, will scurry down with a few racks of clothes. All articles on the racks have been dragged out of storage; the majority of the pieces are old-fashioned or mismatched. All he can do is continue to bow deeply and apologize for the lack of amenities in the parking garage. No one ever comes here!
SUITES DON'T DO THIS!The cars in the parking garage are temperamental. Guests may find doors locking and unlocking of their own accord when they're trying to exit the vehicle. When inside with someone else, the radio will change to a channel playing romantic music. The lights will flicker, dim, or turn off to create some sexy ambiance. They've been in the parking garage for a long time and haven't seen any action in decades. That famous car that starred in Titanic got people to have sex in it. Why can't they!

Some of the cars may act strangely in other ways. The AC or heat will blast unexpectedly, the horn will go off at the least opportune moment, the engine will steam, the seats will spring back without anyone pressing the lever... if it can go wrong in a car, it can happen.

If asked, the valet will explain that over the past few months parts have gone mysteriously missing from some of the cars. Stolen, by no good dirty thieves! But what kind of ragamuffin would snatch car parts in the Golden Peacock? Regardless, he will apologize about the issues. They will continue until those missing parts are returned or replaced.

He will offer a monetary reward to anyone that can bring him any information about the guests that have been stealing car parts. It makes him look incompetent at his job, you see. All he has to do is watch these cars that don't go anywhere! If the house catches wind that they're needing repairs on his watch he's liable to lose his job. He's got four engaged daughters and he's got to pay for their weddings. He can't afford to get fired!



PHOENIX CASINO HALL
WELCOME TO THE NEXT 168 HOURS
Phoenix Casino is a-flutter with activity and packed to the beak with guests. As a famously ever-changing space, the staff would be remiss if they didn't deck the crown jewel of the Golden Peacock out. The casino glitters from top to bottom, shining brighter than diamonds, rubies, sapphires, opals! Party-goers are shiny and glamorous with picture perfect makeup, fluttering gowns, and sharp suits. Card tables are packed and the slot machines are a-ringing as guests play, play, play! Prizes, luxury, booze, attractive people, it's the place that everyone wants to be at.

Those people being dragged inside by some invisible force...? Silly, they were so excited to come that their bodies moved before they realized what was happening. Those are struggles of joy and definitely not the casino's infamous ghost hands dragging unwilling guests to the party at the behest of the house. Look, they're literally hurling their bodies at the card tables with unrestrained glee!

All clocks indicating day hours and night hours have been removed from the casino. Once a guest has entered, their Watch will jam, making it impossible to keep track of the time. You don't need to worry about that tonight.
AT THE DOOR ► Guests must adhere to the black tie dress code to enter. Those that show up in less than their best won't be turned away — but they will be stuffed into a rental outfit provided by the staff. All provided outfits are gaudy, flashy, and encrusted with jewelry. Also — itchy. Too much starch.

Guests that do not want to come will be "helped" to the party by the casino's favorite ghost hands. They will be dragged, levitated, and thrown across the resort until they've "joined" the party. Those that wish to opt out will be conveniently overlooked, completely forgotten by both the house and the hands because they, "lack presence." Ouch!

► Guests that wish to leave the party before it reaches its official end 168 hours later will find obstacles getting in the way of exiting. Staff pop out of nowhere to cheerfully guide them over to this new game they must try. Waiters stop them with trays of steaming food that they think they'll really enjoy. Long-standing guests stumble directly into their path and drag them into some drunken shenanigans. The doors will randomly get stuck. While guests can certainly escape the party, the forces that be are determined to make it difficult for them to call it a night.
REFRESHMENTSWHAT THE RICH FOLK EAT: A massive buffet table lines the back wall of the casino. This nod to overconsumption and gluttony features expensive and exquisite eats from land to sea. Everything on the table is decadent; only the best for guests of the Golden Peacock. The servers working the table encourage guests to eat and eat and eat, even going so far as to help them load up their 16 inch plates until they're overflowing. Less is more? Nonsense. More is more.

IT'S GETTING BUBBLY: While there are plenty of libations to go around, there is one special champagne that's guaranteed sweep you off your feet. A few sips of the bubbly will have you floating in the air like you're the grandpa from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Guests that drink the bubbly will become like a bubble themselves, rising to the ceiling and swimming through the air. Unlike Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, however, burping isn't the answer to grounding safely. The bubbly wears off randomly and without warning, so be careful of falling on another guest or someone's game table.

JUST A PUFF OR TWO: There's a new smoke that's captured the attention of party-goers. This popular new drug is called twig. Smoked from a very thin joint with an earthy taste. Need to add some pep to your step? Twig is the smoking equivalent of two hundred cups of coffee. Who needs sleep? With twig, it's possible to stay awake for upwards of three days without feeling tired. Guests report feeling "brilliantly energized" after smoking twig. However, reports also note that once the high wears off, the user might feel like a deflated balloon that's been run over by a truck. Long-standing guests will encourage newer guests to give it a try. You can sleep after the party, bro!
GAME ROOMS
TRY YOUR LUCK

DIRTY DICE: EVEN DIRTIER A crowd favorite — Dirty Dice is BACK and now it's even dirtier. The creators put their heads together to come up with funnier and more dynamic dice options to keep things interesting for players. While the original game used a pair of standard six-sided dice, Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier debuts a pair of hefty twelve-sided dice.

► The rules for Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier remain the same as last year. Players will be seated at a two-top (though group Dirty Dice games are also encouraged!) with a set of dirty dice. The starting player rolls both dice. The action created with the dice must then be done to the opposing player — however, the rolling player does have the option to turn down the action if they're chicken. The second player will then roll the dice to create an action, similarly able to turn down the action if they're also chicken. Players continue to take turns until there is a winner.

► The first player to complete four actions will receive bragging rights, an extra large chip payout, and the resounding applause from the audience. For low rank guests, winning Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier may also come with an invitation to one of the exclusive lounges.

SEX TOY ROULETTE Come one, come all, step right up and try your luck with Sex Toy Roulette! Several giant roulette wheels (an ode to our favorite morning TV show, The Price Is Right) are waiting for those brave enough to give them a spin. Sex Toy Roulette is a game of chance that comes with risks and rewards. Are you daring enough to give it a go?

► Sex Toy Roulette is very easy to play. The player steps up to the wheel, grabs the handle, and gives it their best spin. Whatever the needle lands on when the wheel stops is what the player wins! Lucky ducks might land on one of the fabulous instant prizes which can be claimed immediately. Less lucky ducks land on one of the sex toy options.

► If the needle lands on one of the sex toy options the roulette manager will give the player the corresponding sex toy. The toy will sync with the player's Watch and begin a countdown of 4 hours. The instructions for further steps are also transmitted to their Watch: Use this sex toy in a sex act with another guest within 4 hours.

► Players that complete the game and use the sex toy within 4 hours will receive no penalty. They also get to keep the sex toy. Yay!

► Players that do not complete the game and do not use the sex toy within 4 hours will be penalized. Not only will a substantial amount of chips be drained from their bank account, guests may experience a sudden and intense suit flare. Wildcards may randomly experience symptoms of ANY SUIT.

  • The royal experience. Travel around the party in the coveted Pure Gold Peacock Palanquin. Enjoy 24 hours of topless servants and constant hand-and-foot service. All of your commands will be obeyed.
  • Select from an assortment of luxury watches, necklaces, earrings, and other expensive articles of clothing. Cashmere, pure silk, Mongolian wool — high quality items for keeps. May also select from appliances that would not be normally found in low rank suites.
  • A brand new car or motorcycle!!! Yes, the car will have to live in the garage, but it's all yours. Winners who choose a motorcycle may ride it around the hallways of the resort.

  • ► The specific details of the sex toy a character is given is left to OOC discretion. For example, if you choose to land on "vibrator", you may have your character given any kind of vibrator. Have fun!

    1 or 11 Down the hall from the main hub guests may find a clandestine room with a silvery sign on the door — ARE YOU 1 OR 11? Crossing the threshold brings a different atmosphere from the card tables and slot machines. The game manager stops every person that comes inside, offering four cards and asking the new player to select one.

    "This will be your role inside Lovers' Hideaway," she explains with a smile. After selecting a card, the player will be guided past the velvet curtains to join in the amorous atmosphere of a silver-studded lounge with several private bedrooms.


    1 or 11 is a game of dominance and submission. The four hidden cards offered at the door are all Ace cards. The specific Ace card that the player draws indicates their role of either Dominant or Submissive. For the rest of their time inside Lover's Hideaway that is the dynamic they are expected to play. Players will win a large payout after any intimate D/s encounter.

    ► A player must redraw every time they leave and return to Lovers' Hideaway, so it is possible to play both dynamics.

    A♦: ACE OF DIAMONDS — 1, Submissive.
    A♥︎: ACE OF HEARTS — 11, Dominant.
    A♣: ACE OF CLUBS — 1, Submissive.
    A♠: ACE OF SPADES — 11, Dominant.


    ► The rules of 1 or 11 are otherwise very relaxed. Doms and Subs seek one another out inside Lovers' Hideaway and find mutual satisfaction together. The staff of Lovers' Hideaway are happy to provide any amenities that the couple would like to use in their play.
    HOUSE OF CARDS Ladies and gentleman! Do you dare to test how steady your hands are? Are you ready for a new challenge? Come play our new game, House of Cards. Step up to any table with a house of cards and prepare to go head-to-head with another guest in a game of strategy and luck.


    ► Players take turns removing one of the cards from a house of cards. Similarly to Jenga, players must be careful not to knock the house of cards over when removing a card. The player that causes the house to collapse is the loser. A large sum of chips will be transfered from the loser to the winner after the house falls.

    ► Each card has a question. After successfully pulling a card, the player must then answer the question honestly. Questions vary in intensity, ranging from simple inquiries such as, What is your favorite color? to more complicated, Would you betray a loved one for financial gain?

    ► Failure to answer the question or to answer it honestly will register as a loss on the player's Watch. The player will then be flagged as the loser and a large sum of chips will be transferred to the winning player.
    EXCLUSIVE LOUNGES
    ONLY FOR THE FEW

    HIGH CLASS OASIS Being a high rank in the Golden Peacock comes with perks. 168 hours is exhausting, so staff have arranged a luxurious respite for the high rank guests that need a break from the party. Guests ranked 10 - King are invited to come relax in the High Class Oasis. Suit-clad and sunglasses wearing security stand at the door and check each guest's credentials before they're allowed to enter.

    Security are strict about monitoring who is allowed to come into the oasis. They won't even allow a high rank to bring a mid or low rank with them; they won't risk upsetting any of the other high ranks. However, while these security guards are loyal and diligent, they aren't especially smart. It is possible for low and mid rank guests to sneak into the oasis with a bit of ingenuity. But be careful — if you don't walk the high class walk, one of the royal long-term guests might call for security to drag the peasants away.
  • Private bedrooms and sleeping pods.
  • Bathroom featuring showers, bath tubs, hot tubs, sauna, and steam room.
  • Racks of complimentary clothing.
  • Top-shelf bottles of wine, champagne, and spirits.
  • Complimentary cigarettes and cigars.
  • Full body massages and masseuses on call.
  • Birdbucks baristas serving up any and all coffee drinks, on the house.
  • Peace and quiet away from the peasants!


  • HIGH ROLLER CLUB Guests that are willing to bet high and gamble hard are invited to play in the High Roller Club. The High Roller Club isn't for the faint of wallet or heart; everything played inside this exclusive club is high risk and high reward. Guests that refuse to match the high risk energy of the club will be escorted out immediately. Entrance to the High Roller Club is dependent upon the means to bet high. If the dealers judge a guest to be broke and/or a coward, unable to put forth chips and unwilling to bet their bodies, they will be denied access.

    Guests that have been denied access but are caught trying to sneak in will be conscripted into drink service. They will be dressed up in a sexy bird costume and made to serve drinks to high rollers. Think sexy casino bunny, bird edition. Hey, at least that gives them a bird's eye view of how the extremely wealthy (and gambling addicts) play?
  • All games require large bets, either monetary or bodily.
  • Sex acts may be offered in lieu of chips if the player has no chips left to bet.
  • All drinks are complementary when playing in the club.
  • Wins and losses must be large enough to be impactful on a player's daily life.
  • Players can end up in the red, which triggers instant conscription. Players in massive debt will be forced to work in other areas of the party to begin paying back the house.
  • Any kind of game may be played in the club, including games under the "Game Rooms" tab.


  • WOMEN'S PARLOR A pair of eight foot Amazonian bouncers guard the doors to the Women's Parlor. Only guests that identify as women will be allowed to enter the parlor. Guests that identify as men will be blocked by the bouncers' crossed spears. This lounge is a private space for women to relax and refresh during the festivities.

    Like the other lounges, it is not impossible for guests that identify as men to sneak into the Women's Parlor. However, these Amazonian bouncers won't move an inch from the door and refuse to engage with men, leaving little room for persuasion or sneaking. Men who wish to sneak into the Women's Parlor will have to crossdress as women in order to pass the bouncers. It's important to keep up the act, too, lest the long-standing guests inside the parlor realize that men have snuck into their haven and call the Amazons to come catch them.
  • Comfortable couches and sofas; blankets and pillows.
  • A few showers stocked with amenities.
  • Quick laundry service for gowns and pantsuits.
  • Exclusive dessert bar, featuring limited edition pastries.
  • High tea at all hours, featuring limited edition tea blends and mini sandwiches.
  • Running chocolate fountain and numerous dip-able foods such as fruits and marshmallows.
  • Numerous kittens and cats for cuddling.
  • Complimentary shoulder and/or foot massages.






  • HANGOVER AFTERCARE
    DID YOU HAVE FUN?
    A LITTLE AFTERCAREThe morning after the party ends, characters will find themselves waking up with someone else in their bed. Did you go to bed with someone last night? Oops, looks like they got misplaced in the shuffle, but please enjoy this new person. No one should wake up alone after a party — or so the house thinks. Affection and intimacy have been reported to increase happiness in humans and semi-human individuals after an exhausting escapade. Plus, it's heard that hangovers can be torturous. Not that it would know.

    ► Guests won't just be waking up to each other. Waiting for them are trays with steaming hot breakfast and a large cloth bag labeled Hangover Kit. While you're enjoying some coffee and munching on bacon, feel free to dig into the bag and check out what the house has sent for you! Isn't it the best host?

    Please enjoy your complimentary: water bottle; aspirin packs; Pepto-Bismol; Gas-X; Imodium; anal douche; enema kit; viagra; face masks; a box of Bon-Bons; and one (1) random sex toy.

    Have a pleasant sleepy morning!

    [ Wei Wuxian wakes up spooning with a guy who is way too bony to be comfortable and with a feather tickling his nose. He sneezes, of course, which probably sets off the whole waking up Sunday and getting him accused of being a lockpicker. As Sunday scrambles off the bed, Wei Wuxian just shifts to sit up on his elbows and gives a wide yawn, not really perturbed in the slightest. ]

    Me? Climbed in through the window, obviously.

    [ Dry, deadpan. It's clear he's joking, but it might... also... not be clear? Either way, he lifts a hand to pick a feather out of his long hair, squinting at it lightly before looking back at Sunday, eyes flicking to the wings on his head. Hm. ]

    ... This yours?
    suibian: (pic#17623713)

    house of cards!

    [personal profile] suibian 2025-01-16 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Now this guy? This guy sets off Wei Wuxian's need to bother and poke and prod. He's much too proper and dignified and it reminds Wei Wuxian of the Lan clan back home, which just makes him want to ruin his image as a result. Which is probably why they've ended up playing this game together in the first place. Wei Wuxian is friendly, overly chummy, and with a gaze that is too clever by half.

    So, here they sit and Wei Wuxian takes a sip of his drink — alcohol, of course, because he is a lush. When Neuvillette offers for him to go first, he smiles brightly and says — ]


    Not a problem.

    [ And very deftly, he plucks a card from the stack. Somewhere in the middle too, challenging himself.

    The card reads: If you could go back in time and change the past, would you?

    Wei Wuxian's smile turns a bit strained at that but he bounces back fairly quickly before giving a shake of his head. ]


    No way, what's done is done. There's nothing for me to change. What about you?

    [ truthfully, despite the know-all air mona puts on, she still does get embarrassed. that can be said now, her head moving somewhat to the side to allow ishmael closer proximity to the slender curve of her neck. she's anticipating the other woman's touch so intently that she accidentally shivers from the brush of her own hair.

    her eyes briefly close as ishmael leans in, and then... soft lips. they're felt for only a moment before they're quickly joined by enamel, a firm, slightly slick bite taking place.

    mona's brows furrow, but she endures it. this is fine. ignore the blush.
    ]

    ...I suppose I will be reminded of you in the morning.

    ( could it be? a comrade in arms in his lamentations? a kindred spirit in search of that life-giving elixir?

    it's someone pretty, fashionable, insofar as his understanding of such things go. time and again, sigewinne has tried to impress upon him the intricacies of fashion trends, but as a man whose sole duty is to preside over a court of law, neuvillette has never seen the need to keep up with fashion when his judge's robes have become expectation seven days out of the week. )


    Indeed. Hardly what one would expect from a business centered around satisfaction of its guests.

    ( but his middling opinions of this place aside, he's more concerned for the young woman next to him. concern colors the edge of his voice, his head canted to one side. )

    Have you need of anything else beyond water, Miss? Perhaps I can flag down a nearby waiter for the both of us.

    [ Wei Wuxian is scared of dogs. That's a fact, a known fact, and something he deals with on a daily basis. Is he scared of a man who acts like a dog? Probably not but there's still a strong hesitation in him as he watches Beowulf pressing his face against the glass and just being... overly enthusiastic. Hm. He's trying to think of a way to slip out of ... whatever they're in (he still doesn't know what a car is) when Beowulf's attention snaps towards him and he's being asked to... chant his name.

    ... Geez, and here everyone thought Wei Wuxian was the one with the ego. ]


    Howl at the moon, huh? What next, you'll sprout a tail and ears and go running off after some stray cats?

    [ Seriously, the dog energy in here is CRAZY. ]

    [seems as if they're both in unexpected situations, but that's okay, as sizhui is suddenly a lot more excited than he was before, regardless of any overstimulation on his end. maybe he's just getting too used to the shenanigans that happen on other worlds rather than letting it overtake him like it might do most people.

    after peeking back up over the table, he decides he'll join wei wuxian under it, holding the cloth just high enough so he can crawl underneath before letting it fall back into place behind him, once again blocking out the bright lights that are harshing the napping vibes. he settles in, legs tucked up underneath himself and hands resting in his lap for the moment, his head tilting to the side again while he examines the other man like he might be injured or something, but from what he can tell, he's all in one piece and that's a huge weight off his shoulders.

    his smile widens, he raises a hand to cover his mouth and chuckles softly then lowers it again to speak.
    ] Of course you are. Shame on me, how could I ever forget that?
    suibian: (pic#17622416)

    i'm sooooo happy you did!!!

    [personal profile] suibian 2025-01-16 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Wei Wuxian isn't sure what Sizhui is going to do — join him, pull him out from under here, something different altogether? It's only when the boy opts to crawl under the table with him that his heart swells and he feels a brief burst of happiness at the company. He'll sit up a little more properly then, crossing his legs underneath himself and lifting a hand in a yawn. ]

    Exactly. Shame, shame.

    [ And then he's rubbing some sleep out of his eyes, giving a soft sigh as he wakes up properly. That's when he'll give Sizhui a once over in the I'm-definitely-not-concerned-about-you-but-absolutely-am way just to make sure he's alright. They're both a little too attentive with each other, huh? Still, this place is new and unusual and Wei Wuxian is trying to adjust. He doesn't know why he's here or who brought him but he's very clear on the fact that this isn't his home or time or world, even. So, the familiar face of Sizhui is more than welcome. ]

    So, did you wake up in a "car" too?

    [ The way he says car makes it absolutely clear he has no idea what a car is, still. ]

    ( he wishes, once again, for the soothing weight of his court robes. the solid grip of his cane between his fingers. but he has neither here and neuvillette once again finds himself adrift, not unlike how he had been all those centuries ago, left to his own devices in the middle of the fontemer sea. before focalors had turned her gaze towards him and invited him to take part in the greatest play to ever grace the stages of fontaine.

    and now it seems he must yet play another role, this time as guest rather than overseer.

    he settles instead for clasping his hands before him. the frown has returned to his face, a thin line cutting across as he gazes at the crowds. )


    You speak of this Game 52, yes?

    ( a distasteful game, really, but even he with all his authority returned to him can do little but comply with the rules set forth by the house. there things he too must do, that require a safe - though perhaps not expedient - completion of his stay here. )

    If I may ask, are ( mmmmmm ) acts of intimacy the only method of completing it?

    ( unfortunate if so; he has always struggled to form bonds, physically or emotionally. )

    Rude is always hyperaware of his surroundings, but he's on exceptionally high alert after having woken up in a strange place with no explanation wearing strange clothes. He hears footsteps approaching and then what seems like the hood of the vehicle being hoisted.

    Escaping from the back door quietly, he sneaks around the luxury limo silently, made easier with the sheer harem pants and sandals he has on. They hardly make a sound against the parking garage's pavement. He doesn't have his weapons on him, but he's always been pretty lethal with his fists alone. As he's getting close enough to grab the guy, he notices that he's a kid and he relaxes, clearing his throat to declare his presence.

    [ the little suspicious pause does not go unnoticed. however, she understands. truly, she does. ]

    Yes, you would be correct. [ there's an apologetic note in her voice. ] As long as one person—finishes, then you will obtain their card. It is even possible to collect a second or third from the same individual. So long as their rank has changed, that is.

    [ even a genius astrologist like mona would not have expected a reality where she would be discussing intimate matters with the iudex. and yet, here they are, gently tiptoeing around crude language in an establishment that encourages sex at every turn. she can't help but be concerned for neuvillette's future.

    the twists in one's fate can be formidable.

    Winning Game 52 appears to be our means of returning to our original worlds.

    ( he waits politely for her to select a card and read off the question written upon it. a harmless question, with a harmless answer. perhaps this game will be a pleasant enough time after all.

    a few seconds tick by as he mulls over his answer. four hundreds years is quite the length of time for any number of rumors to have circulated regarding his person. the strangest must surely be that he is fond of crying, but in lieu of revealing his true identity so soon to a complete stranger he settles for: )


    I believe a tabloid magazine once reported me to be the only male Melusine in the entirety of Teyvat. ( his lips pinch at the edges. ) Despite having no evidence to back up their claims and knowing full well that Fontaine law dictates all Melusines to be referred to as 'she' rather than 'it'.

    ( to try and go against pre-established law? a foolish endeavor. )

    And to think they referred to themselves as the 'leading edge of journalism.'

    ( an aggravated sigh, followed by a lean forward of his body as he reaches out towards the house of cards. his hand hovers and then chooses, pausing momentarily in place as a nearby card shudders and wobbles, and then retracts fully to flip his card over once the house stabilizes. )

    'Breasts, legs, or thighs?'

    ( what. is this about chicken....? )

    [movement. he turns his head with a leather-like sound grit under his neck. there's someone else in here. second time this week he's woken up with another person next to him. this place is fond of shoving people together, isn't it. who's this guy? a kind smile, brows furrowed only so. posing off a picture of amiable nature. if he was gonna throw up, that urge is literally swallowed down his throat on sheer refusal and wary caution.]

    You could say that. [if this guy could stop the world spinning, he'd like to get off. dropping to an elbow dents material around his bone before he twists his body around in a roll to his back and sits up. one hand presses at his helmeted head, massaging the glass even if it means nothing to his physical inside. paused, barely lifted in a twitch upward as two small bottles reflect in his mask's surface.]

    Aren't you helpful. [he swipes both bottles, but makes no effort to drink either.] Do you normally steal into other people's beds?

    [ much as w seriously does not want to be here, it's at least early enough in the night that she hasn't grown miserably bored of all the games on offer. to her, they're all fool's games: a practical application of explosive force ensures that every dice roll settles on KISS ASS, every opposing pull from the house of cards results in a showy implosion, and now she's up to this roulette thing, because the other tables are giving her the side-eye and she knows well enough to keep it moving. she just has to figure out how to fix this thing too, hoping that one of the options is 'bomb' so she can work out some of this restlessness she can't quite swallow down.

    her eye lands on 'knife' at just about the same time she feels fur bristling across the back of her leg. is that serendipitous or what? lappland probably doesn't recognize her from this angle, likely due to the fancy fit she's sporting, but surely she'll recognize that grimdark giggle and a skin-crawling flick from her grotesque tail in response. ]


    No going back on it now. Nothing annoys me more than broken promises.

    [ to a keen eye, it's obvious already that she's planning to employ some arts-based fuckery as she approaches the wheel. too bad about your grand prize, lappy. she turns back only to bat her eyelashes. ]

    ( catch him talking about heaving bosoms and rounded behinds any time he has to refer to tits or ass.

    but he hasn't descended that far, not yet, and thus is content to keep the discussion surface-level as he accustoms himself to his new life here in the resort. everything she says falls in line with what little he's been told, though in far less detail than he would have liked.

    perhaps that's where he ought to begin, even if the mention of repercussions has him frowning deeper. )

    arrival
    [ of course it would be just your luck to find yourself stuck in one of those temperamental cars with someone like angelika, who hasn't spoken a single word upon stirring. indeed, save for a brief glance your way, she hasn't really done much else to acknowledge your presence, and has instead busies herself with surveying your surroundings... however compact it happens to be.

    the fortunate(?) thing is the car appears to be one of those stretch limos, meaning there's plenty of room for one to stretch out one's legs. angelika herself has drifted off towards the front of the large back seating area, around the partition leading towards the driver's part. she has pulled back the sliding window to peak into the much smaller space, briefly even going so far as to stick her entire head through before turning her attention to the compartments along the partition instead.

    she finds a little door and tugs it open, making a small noise of satisfaction when it reveals itself to be a mini-bar. ]


    Lovely.

    [ she sits back, pulling out an entire bottle of wine. ]

    twig aftermath
    [ the ghostly hands had certainly found the perfect victim in angelika, a self-proclaimed "obligate homebody," though fortunately she still wound up in a far more modest outfit of her choosing. but that was about the extent of her victory over the house's insistence, because after enough time attempting to wallflower the party away, someone had seen fit to smoke enough of that twig around her that the second-hand smoke left her just as affected as if she'd shoved the damn things down her throat herself.

    smashcut to the aftermath, the hours spent under the twig's influence a wild and chaotic blur in her steadily-pounding head. while her dress is more or less intact, the same can't be said for the rest of her, an obvious aura of exhaution hanging heavy in the downturn of her gaze, the slight sag of her shoulders. oh, she does her best to appear otherwise, even still sitting upright in on one of those plush velvet benches against the wall in the lobby... but that's about the best she can do when her entire body feels like two small gusts of wind away from falling completely over.

    somehow, even despite trying to be as invisible as possible, she still catches someone's attention. ]


    If all you mean to do is stare then leave.

    [ the steadiness of her voice unfortunately fractures at the last word, letting slip the extent of the strain she's under. despite her best efforts, she just can't quite hide how badly that damned twig has left her feeling absolutely wrecked... and not even in the fun way. ]

    etc
    ( OC TLDR: what if grim reapers were a non-profit organization, and this particular one had latent anger issues? it's Fine. angelika is 30 and available for smut options for anyone over 18. i didn't have the bandwidth to write starters for the games, but i'd be interested in angelika doing the dirty dice, sex toy roulette, and/or house of cards! more info on her in general can be found here. )

    [ there's a lot to take away here from his response alone, and luckily, ishmael is observant enough to catch them like the honor student that she is. the fact that he's been featured in a tabloid once means that he already has quite the reputation in his homeland, for example, and... something about laws? are they the same as the laws of the Great Lake where she's from, she wonders. and what even are melusines...?

    but before she can go ahead and ask for further inquiry, he's pulled out a question and reads it aloud, to which ishmael responds with her face going pale with embarrassment. right, not all questions are going to be tame like the one she got just now. ]


    Wait, can we go back to what Melusines are, exactly? That question is a little...

    [ help, she hasn't really thought too deeply about that -- assuming that the question wasn't just pertaining to chicken. give her a minute to reboot. ]

    Hamel | Path to Nowhere | current, 5♣

    [personal profile] stagesight 2025-01-16 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
    I. YEET
    ( Gen! )

    [ For some inexplicable reason, Hamel is not really a Party Person. And maybe that's why she's politely tried to keep her distance, only to have the ghost hands decide that's Not Acceptable. And you know what, sure. Okay. Maybe Hamel stands her ground for once in protest of being highly encouraged into a space.

    And maybe--no, definitely... Hamel does not win this fight, and I am truly sorry for you, person tagging this prompt, as she is now getting unceremoniously chucked in some flowy, bright red number with a slit nearly up to her hip and quite literally chucked...

    ... Into you. Or at you, if you want to dodge the person who just got thrown?? ]


    II. DOWN AND DIRTY (DICE)
    ( Gen or NSFW! )


    [ At this point, Hamel has given up on being allowed to escape, or at least is biding her time until she can find an opening to slip away. It's hard to say which it is, but she looks fairly resigned as she looks at whoever she's playing against. Some of these options look fairly harmless, at least, but doing this in a public area and not somewhere private...

    Look, she's a performer, not an exhibitionist.

    But for some reason, she's here and she's playing it, so she just heaves a sigh that seems more weary than anything remotely enthused. ]


    Would you like to go first, or shall I...?


    III. CARDS ON THE TABLE (HOUSE OF CARDS)
    ( Gen! )


    [ Okay, you know. She's actually not too bad at this, this very quiet woman still in the super gaudy dress, or maybe she's just used to being careful. Regardless, the house of cards hasn't fallen on her turn yet and she's peering at the card with an air of...

    ... Weariness? ]


    "Would you rather sacrifice yourself or others"?

    ... It seems I've pulled another non-difficult question.

    [ Hamel, please. ]


    IV. HANGOVER HUDDLE
    ( Gen or NSFW! )


    [ Thankfully, she's clothed. Kind of? At some point, the dress has been replaced by her nightgown, which isn't exactly victorian enough to cover anything below the knees (scandalous) or even her arms (hussy). So Hamel doesn't find it too strange to wake up in, with a pounding headache from all of the Everything.

    But what is strange is that she isn't alone and whether she recognizes this person or not, her reaction is much the same--to scoot backwards in astonishment and disappear off the side of the bed.

    Silently, even! Her bedmate might still be sleeping, so at least she has the presence of mind to accidentally fall off the bed as quietly as possible! How incredibly thoughtful of her. ]

    [ you jest, but mona has already referred to her ass as her 'rear' in conversation. yes, she got teased...... ]

    Look here.

    [ setting aside her glass on the nearby table for a moment, she unravels her glove so that he can catch a glimpse of the symbol imbued into her wrist. relatively elegant in design, it is in the shape of a lovely diamond. there are a few additional stars included, too, fitting for her occupation.

    mona drags the thumb of her other hand over it. the symbol does not smudge.
    ]

    If you avoid having relations long enough, your suit will act against you. It could encourage you to quickly seek a companion out, manipulate your thoughts and feelings, or stimulate bodily reactions. The urges will not relent until you've been satiated.

    [ it's not until she pulls away and hearing mona's flirty quip that ishmael realizes that -- she just did that. she really just leaned in and left a hickey on an unfamiliar woman's neck like she's done it before when in actuality, she doesn't remember the last time she did something that intimate. her first tryst might as well have been forgettable, a little experiment just to feel something at the time (read: she did not feel anything). but now...

    well, it's still more or less the same. they're still strangers at the end of the day, after all. yet a slight blush can't help but blossom across her seemingly neutral expression anyway. seems that a hardened (former) sailor is also not immune to such frivolities. ]

    The stuff this place throws at them shouldn't feel surprising anymore, but somehow, he's still exasperated by all of it. That much is probably obvious in his expression and the almost resigned look in the blue eyes. As if he knows exactly what kind of obnoxious, lewd crap he can expect to show up on those dice. And, honestly, the main reason he'd even slid into the chair beside this guy is because he knows what it's like to be the new guy.

    Everyone needs a payout.

    Even so, he's watching those dice intently, lingering on them when the they finally still and they can take in the numbers. SLAP ASS. Not the worst thing he could've rolled, that's for sure.

    "Looks that way," he replies with a soft exhale. His hand goes up to his tie, tugs at the knot of it slightly in an attempt to loosen it slightly. But he can hear that hastiness in his voice, the uncertainty in his question, and he's quick to shake his head. "For something like this? No," he replies in an attempt to be reassuring. "But they've got their ways when they really want you to do something."

    That said, he shifts to the edge of his chair but doesn't stand. "Your call if you want to."

    Yes, of course.

    [ good, good. ishmael completed one task already. mona will see the blemish tomorrow, but by then, she will likely be too exhausted from all the activity the prior day that she won't be too fussed. perhaps a fresh, steaming cup of tea and a pleasant breakfast will be at the forefront of her mind.

    (this is a lie. nothing is more embarrassing than seeing remnants of a tryst.)
    ]

    I will roll for us. [ mona retrieves the dice, and then lightly tosses them onto the table. the result is— ] ...I see.

    roulette i'm sorry i had to
    [ honestly, he hadn't intended to play. he'd just been wandering by, bored out of his mind, and somehow eventually finds himself at the front of the line meant for the giant spinning wheel. he didn't like being told what to do, but unfortunately for him that currently comes in second for the more urgent desire to be curious as fuck, and so spin the wheel does and—

    he frowns as the pin lands on
    CUCUMBER. before he can turn back around to the attendant to attest it, said attendant has already drawn out a cucumber, causing fig to launch himself back at least five feet from the shock of it all.

    the squawky noise of protest he'd made had been pretty embarrassing... but not nearly as embarrassing as having crashed right into someone else in the process. ]


    aftercare
    1 — [ sure is a shame that the person you wind up stuck with just so happens to be fig, who has already demolished his entire tray full of breakfast and is currently working his way through yours. asshole doesn't even look a single ounce of sorry when he finally notices you stirring, cheerfully piping up from where he's folded himself into a cross-legged seat in one of the wooden chairs by the table. ]

    Morning!

    [ he's awfully chipper for someone who is supposedly suffering the same sort of ailments as you............... but that might have something to do with the fact he's got a breakfast and a half currently sitting pleasant in his tummy, soaking up all that alcohol he had imbibed in the night(s) before. (is that how it all works? don't ask him, honestly.) ]

    2 — [ then again, maybe you're the one to get it together first. maybe you're the one who happens to fare better, at least up until fig himself finally pokes his head out from under a mountainous pile of blankets to let out a single, unflattering wail of misery. ]

    Fuck this body!

    [ he blinks his eyes open, spots you, and decides you're all to blame for the fact he can't ever seem to understand what foods and liquids this human body of his can handle. ]

    Fuck you. [ maybe it'd have more sting, if he didn't sound so pathetic about it all. ] Who are you?

    et cetera
    ( oc info can be found here and here! tldr fig is an ex-familiar amnesiac who still is still very much a cat in every way but literally. as far as cr/smut cr preferences go, due to his trauma he is far more open towards males. for females, especially those who happen to be extremely powerful magically/spiritually, it's very Complicated. he is both drawn to them (passive) but resistant (active). feel free to pm to hash things out! )

    1. PHEONIX CASINO HALL: At the Door
    (cw: none)
    [It's a long night, and Rin has a very particular daily routine. Two in the morning is when her magical energy reaches its peak, so as it gets closer to the midnight hour she'll be attempting to escape. Everything from lunging at exits to trying to sneak around the sides of the hall. When she finally reaches a door, but not even her magically enhanced limbs can get it open, Tohsaka reaches a breaking point.

    People in the crowd will hear a loud explosion, a clearly frustrated, "Oh come on!" and the pop of a dozen champagne bottles as the longer standing guests decide that the noise and the smoke is simply another piece of entertainment worth celebrating. At this point staff grab Rin, and toss her back into the "festivities". This leaves the explosion culprit at your character's feet. Face down and the skirt of her dress flipped up and disheveled enough to make her look more like a drunk that got tossed out of a bar rather than a failed escape artist.]
    2. GAME ROOMS: Dirty Dice: Even Dirtier
    (cw: mention of breath play, possibility for NSFW acts)
    [Tohsaka seems almost... disappointed? She rolls the dice over in her palm while waiting for a partner to play against. The words this time aren't exactly the same, so she'll not be able to relive the thrill she had just a little over a year ago. Perhaps for the best, though. She wasn't really all that versed in breath play back then, and certainly hasn't made any strides to address that since.

    Once her opposition arrives she addresses them without looking up.]


    Do you mind if I roll first, or would you rather be the first to try their luck?
    1. EXCLUSIVE LOUNGES: High Roller Club
    (cw: can turn NSFW if resulting in loss)
    [Decked out in the iconic deep blacks and glittering gold that the Golden Peacock is known for, a petite woman delicately offers a tray your way. Her expression doesn't look too pleased, so you can probably guess that she was one of those who ended up clearing out her bank of chips before ending up in the salacious costume. However as she leans close she starts whispering:]

    Interested in knowing the wisdom of a bird's eye view?

    [Get it? Because she's dressed like a bird? Feathers in her hair and along the edges of her bodysuit to make something akin to a "tail" and a skirt all at once while still showing her shapely legs in fishnets. Either way, she's offering you the benefit of cheating... but what's the catch?]
    3. HANGOVER AFTERCARE
    (cw: nsfw progression possible thanks to Hangover Kit)
    [After all that "fun," Tohsaka is literally a mess. Her hair wild and unkempt, her face showing "indents" where the folds of the pillowcase jut into her skin, her eyes a little bloodshot and dark circles hanging in bags by her lower lids. She looks at her fellow bedmate with a narrowing (squinting) gaze, and asks:]

    Who the hell are you?

    [Even if they know each other. She's having a bad morning, please be gentle (or don't; that could be funnier).]

    WILDCARD
    (As time passes "normally" in Golden Peacock, and Rin gets older, I've decided to change from her [personal profile] erbe journal to this one which features icons that are closer to depicting her age in canon since she'll be 20 in February. This info page contains permissions, a kink list, and other details like suit mark placement and a few opt-in/opt-out forms. A few prompts I'm interested in, but would rather write/have custom starters to are: Game Rooms: House of Cards, Game Rooms: 1 or 11, Game Rooms: Sex Toy Roulette, Exclusive Lounges: High Roller Club (NSFW/Instant Loss), Exclusive Lounges: Women's Parlor.
