【 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
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.
▶ All characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. Suits will not manifest until characters are accepted into the game.
▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's January event.
▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.
▶ The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are prioritized and receive attention! If you would be interested in a game invitation, you can note that in your comment header. This month we also have an ongoing ATP / EMP where players can connect. Please feel free to utilize this for all of your peafowl needs!
▶ If you aren't satisfied with these prompts, please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort!
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!
▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.
▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.
[ it doesn't take murr very long to figure out how to make the window go down, opting to do that than let ishmael into his purrsonal vehicle. as the opaque barrier lowers, it reveals a grinning cat whose eyes immediately dart up to her forehead before going down to her lips, then toward her chest. ]
Oh hi! [ wow. she's got a lot of hair? murr imitates that motion, though he clearly runs out before she does. ] Inside my car? I dunno, you weren't in here before me. Unless you were?
[ tilting his head to one side, he narrows his eyes as that smile widens. ]
Is something bothering you?
[ she's not doing a good job of hiding it. he's going to pounce, obvs. ]
[ yep, that sure is her freckled chest. don't stare at it too hard catboy, you know she ain't yo type anyway 🧍♂️ ]
No no, I just got out from there --
[ turns around and points at... wtf where is her ride. there are so many cars here, bro. ]
Never mind, that's not important. What's important is... [ she pauses at murr's question, the furrow between her brows deepening. ] I'm looking for a memento. I usually wear it on my head, but when I came to, it's gone.
[ it's true but like. you know. he's going to be interested in everything and anything. 🧍
his eyes follows hers and murr sees something in the distance that sparkles. probably just a reflection off of another car? funny because maybe he should be more awestruck by the number of them, in all their shapes and sizes. his curiosity should cause him to go digging into each one.
[ okay now she's pissed. she did not grow out her hair as a memento just for some hyperactive catboy to assume it's a wig??? where's his keeper when you need him 🧍♂️
she'll berate him some more later. there are more important matters to attend to right now. ]
...My headband. It's missing. I never go anywhere without it.
[ he doesn't need a keeper. he probably needs a magic-proof collar and someone to hold his leash though. also he's not answering her question (spoiler: she probably wouldn't have liked the answer) ]
Headband? Oh, lemme check! Maybe there's a headband in here?
[ and he dips below the window, audibly causing a ruckus inside his funny little car. it's not the most spacious. but what comes out of it might be surprising! she may want to consider dodging as he starts emptying out the contents of his vehicle through that window.
multiple dildos. bottles of lube. chains. a handful of paper clips. a screwdriver (tool). a screwdriver (drink). ]
Wait, I found something. Will this work?
[ and the last thing? a long leather belt. with spikes. ]
[ she neatly dodges as murr starts throwing various things from out of the car -- documents, paper cups, keys to other cars?? bobbleheads??? it's like the catman is just using this as an excuse to trash the place. damn.
but murr has stopped looting, popping his head out to show her his spoils. um.
🧍♂️ ]
No. [ just...... no. ] It's made out of hemp rope. You really can't miss it.
[ just like a normal person, murr finally leaves the car albeit through that window he opened. why use the door? well, it's because it's easier to climb through! he ends up tumbling forward once he squeezes himself through, his robe lined with some cheetah print but overall keeps him decent. his bits will stay protected. ]
Then it sounds like they deserve to be stuck in there!
[ that she sounds so attached also seems like a strange thing to him, but he's certainly missing the weight of that ring on his finger. still. not all things are forever... except for maybe the moon and getting under shylock's skin no matter what flavor of murr he is BUT ]
Don't tell me a silly hair accessory is going to neuter you!
More like you're the one who should get neutered around here.
[ damn. she keeps up the scowl for a moment before letting it go with a defeated sigh. ]
Well, I guess I'll figure something out in the meantime. Thanks for helping me look for it though -- if you can even call it that. But I appreciate it all the same.

but he's also quite content to loaf. ]
A hat? You're looking for a hat?
[ a beat and then he holds up a finger. ]
Or a wig. Do you wear a wig?

No. [ just...... no. ] It's made out of hemp rope. You really can't miss it.
[ can he? ]
no subject
Hemp rope... no, I don't see anything like that in here. Unless you wanna come inside and check for yourself!
[ he can certainly miss it. does murr look like the kind of person who'll be really careful and not rush things if it means entertaining himself??? ]
And are you sure it's missing? Maybe it's in your pocket! Or maybe you ate it?
no subject
[ help... what is this guy on.............. ]
And no, I'd rather not go inside. I've seen people get locked in there for hours in.

no subject
Why do you say so? Jeez, I don't miss this kind of tangent at all...
[ at least don quixote smartened up. what's this guy's excuse?? ]
no subject
'cause if you're not able to get out, then you're not supposed to leave. Simple as that!
[ up onto his feet he goes, where murr is still grinning from ear to ear. ]
Oh. Hm. Do you really need a headband? You look fine as is!
no subject
Yes? It's a memento. It may sound stupid, but I can't bear parting with it.
no subject
[ however they got here in the first place... ]
no subject
[ right, what should she do about it? nothing. ]
I don't know. [ she leans against the hood of the car. ] Figure out a way to replace it, I guess. But it wouldn't be the same, would it?

no subject
[ does he need to share his name? no. of course not. he's going to vanish just like a cheshire cat. ]
But you're welcome! I'm sure you'll figure out your hair situation eventually. Hopefully you can do it before falls out!
