【 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.
[Ekko, meanwhile, has been moving about this labrynth, trying to find a way out. Like her, he's never been in the brothels in the lanes, even if some members of the Firelights used to 'work' there before they found a home with him, so seeing so much sex in place is more than a little overwhelming. He had been hoping to find an exit, find some daylight, but the staff keep him hemmed in, constantly blocking his path and funneling him back towards the action.
It doesn't help that the air is thick, not just with the scent of sex, but also of some sort of perfume. Something about it is getting into his head, into his blood, in a way that he can't shake. He needs some fresh air, and finally finds an elevator that's unguarded. It might be a way out, or at least a way to the roof, and he impatiently presses the 'up' button once he reaches it.
There's a ding when it arrives, and when it opens, he's face to face with something that he doesn't expect.]
...Jinx...???
[Once again, flung to another world, and there she is, right in front of him. Though, at first glance, she appears to be every bit the Jinx he remembers, and not some other version. In his head, he tries to figure out how this is even possible, his mind running through a thousand possibilities. It isn't until the 'ding' of the elevator and the doors starting to close that he realizes he's just standing there.
He springs into action, catching the doors and forcing them open, before stepping into the elevator with her. The doors close behind him, and there he is. With her. His best enemy.]
What are you doing here?
you're never fully going to get rid of me, srry no srry. its in the contract.
[like ekko, she gawks back at him with her mouth slightly hung open, and it's not until the doors begin to seal, and her counterpart launches himself in that she returns to earth. jinx presses her back more against the wall to allow the firelight to squeeze himself in with her, and strangely enough, now that he is here... she feels a little more relieved somehow. at his question, though, her expression falls flat then gives him an apathetic shrug of a shoulder, which indicates her snark is just over the horizon.]
Gee, I dunno, Bug. Decided I wanted to go on a trip where I can see a bunch of nobodies get their rocks off because I thought it'd be entertaining, and it'll inspire me with my inventions.
[the symbol rolls her eyes as she tosses her arms up in the air, just in case he couldn't catch the heavy and dry sarcasm in her tone.]
[No, he caught the sarcasm, and he shakes his head. It at least rules out some possibilities.]
Right... you wouldn't be here otherwise... neither of us would be.
[After all, he's... himself. He isn't inhabiting the body of an Ekko native to here, if there even is one. That might rule out the wild rune, but then... it still leaves him with way more questions than answers.
Still, one thing at a time.
He lets out a breath, then looks over at the wall of buttons and hits the top floor.]
We need to find some way out of here. I don't even know who these weirdos are.
so what you're saying is, you dont want me no more.
Yeah, I don't recognize anyone here so far, or who would be Madame's workers.
[not that jinx has ever gone in the brothel in the lanes. she was told strictly from vander, vi, and silco to stay far away from the establishment as possible. although, it only made her younger self even more curious to venture inside. but she respected their wishes regardless. when ekko turns his focus to the wall of switches, jinx chews on her cheek, then attentively reaches to grab a hold a piece of the boy's attire.
she hopes the boy savior won't make a big deal out of her clasping onto him like this. but out of everyone from her life, ekko is the only one who has seen her at her lowest; who has witnessed her fragility. and yet, he hadn't treated her differently despite what he saw, moreover, she feels there's this unspoken understanding between the duo now, and there's a sense of... comfort with him.
if she decides to fall apart into pieces, it'll be okay for her to do that with him, he won't judge her. and... it'll be likewise if he decides to go undone in front of her. and right now, she feels oddly meek and all she wants is for him to shield her away from everything and to keep her safe. ... hopefully, ekko will be fine with being the dominant one when it comes to their current situation. maybe the teenager can make up it for him later, because after all, he's already done so much, and he must be tired of leading. although, he is the king of the firelights for a reason.]
Hey, did you hear about what this place wants us to do? Ya know. Play some sorta sex game or something? I dunno all the details about it, but I've been listening to people yammering about if you sleep around, you get a fancier living here. — Sounds rigged.
Always a dance with you
