【 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.
[ honestly, clorinde has never liked parties back home and she isn't likely to change her mind now. she didn't bother to fight the powers that be that forced her presence—it's easier to just go along with it and slip out later, which is how she finds herself getting waylaid by staff in her attempt to locate the nearest exit.
she has to hand it to them for persistence. after the fifth time a waiter stops her to offer her a glass of champagne, clorinde finally accepts it, finishing it quickly to escape. rather than stepping around them, she winds up slowly ascending instead, coming dangerously close to colliding with another guest. at least he doesn't seem to be having the same trouble she does, even though the height of his leap does pique her interest. ]
Thank you, [ she says, once her feet have found the floor again. ] It was one of the drinks the staff have provided.
I couldn't just stand by and watch as a beautiful young woman floated away.
( In other words, it's not a problem. Jae Ha sets her down with care, careful to keep his hands at her shoulders as if to test if she's still got any of that float left in her. If she does, he'll keep his hands here to keep her down! If not, he'll give her that freedom. He's respectable, even if a flirt. )
Still, I never imagined a drink could cause something like this. ( He doesn't know about redbull commercials. He glances over to some of the ones being served, and most prominently is: ) The champagne?
[ ah, he's that type. she's used to those comments, for better or worse, so it gets nothing more than an amused half-chuckle out of her as she rights herself. it doesn't seem like she'll take to the air again, but really, who knows with this place. ]
Yes. [ that and water were the only liquids she'd had, and she doubts the latter was responsible for this. ] It's inconvenient, but it's not the worst.
[ like, it could be laced with aphrodisiacs instead. but this is fine. more importantly, ]
Do you want to get out of here?
[ ... that could have been phrased differently but you know what, this is also fine. ]
( There's only a moment of surprise in Jae Ha's blink before he's giving way to a smile, expression brightened by the boldness of her question alone. It sounds suggestive, a little— but he's generally pretty good at reading body language, and he doubts that's what she means in this context. It's actually the other context that excites him more right now, because nothing brightens Jae Ha's day more than a strong, driven woman. )
Have you found a way out of this little party, dear? I've been looking everywhere for one, myself.
