【 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.
(while one wasn't used to this, the other is too used to it. aerith's movements did catch the knave's attention and cause her to frown. a fish out of water in the face of a party, then? that's nothing shocking. some weren't used to these things and, almost certainly, arlecchino can admit that she wouldn't fault the other woman for needing a break from the persistent barrage. drugs aren't her own thing. she's avoiding twig for that reason (not her kind of indulgence) since it didn't seem like a good idea. which left the champagne the two of them were drinking.
her own suit was nothing to sneeze at. it looked fantastic down to those dagger heels she's wearing, how she can move in them was a bigger mystery to the party guests. they didn't care enough to ask, though. that was better in the long run for her whenever noticing aerith coming over at her own direction. her turn, then? right. she'll help this woman learn to navigate better before the night ends, perhaps. they had plenty of time in that regard once she takes a sip of her champagne with a cordial smile.)
I take it that we both are new?
(rule number one of high society, always be cordial enough that pleasantries remain pleasantries. barbed words and sharp tongues were better left for fools that were being idiot enough to push their luck. that is a given, but not one necessary in this exchange they'll be having.)
[ Unfamiliar with parties like this though she may be, her smile in the face of a stranger is warm and friendly, and to the woman's question, she nods, lifting her champagne flute in greeting. ]
Well, I definitely am! I wouldn't have guessed you are; you seem to fit in kinda perfectly, to tell you the truth.
[ A strange assumption to make, perhaps, but she's honest about it at the very least. ]
Buuut... I don't exactly come from a place famous for parties, let alone extravagant ones like these. So, you know, maybe that's just my inexperience showing.
[ A light laugh as she shakes her head. ]
Anyway, my name's Aerith. It's nice to meet you—and you said that you're new too?
