【 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.
[ Game recognizes game, even if it's a game ill-advised to play in the first place. That's what makes it fun — even if there's a chance they might get caught, there's no harm in seeing how far they can go with this. Jiaoqiu may not realize he's snagged a high-ranking guest, but it's better that way. ]
I couldn't have said it better myself. Much as I enjoy the merriment, a bit of respite will energize and cleanse the soul.
[ With a familiar nod at this complete stranger, Jiaoqiu starts towards the club's door again, aiming for nonchalance and surefootedness. Of course he belongs somewhere like this. ]
And you? How have you found this marathon of festivities? You never were one to settle for a boredom.
[ Considering he's dressed to play the part especially well today, Sylvain slips into the role with ease alongside him. Nevermind that he does have permission to be here, he's more than prepared to throw his weight around if necessary. Even if he has to get creative about it. ]
Oh, you know me. [ he smirks, because this man certainly doesn't, but some things are easy enough to guess. ] Terrible things happen when I get bored. That's a fate that should be avoided at all costs. I do hope you're up to the challenge of fending them off.
Oh? When you put it like that, I might be a little tempted to see just what you do when left to your whims.
[ No, really, just what might this man try when he grows bored? Keeping company with a general and an assassin, seldom few things than surprise Jiaoqiu anymore, but he'd love to be proven wrong, genuinely.
As they approach the guards at the door, Jiaoqiu offers the pair a polite nod, but nothing that would suggest any sort of deference or lowly position. He keeps his head held high, ears attuned to catch anything they can about the guards' demeanor. ]
[ Sylvain's hand just gives a comforting pat to the fox clinging to him like very pretty arm candy and ignores the security as he intently strolls right past without stopping.
He sees one guard open his mouth to stop them, but another clears his throat to interrupt. Sylvain hides a smirk. As he'd been strolling about the resort all last month as an Ace, he supposes he'd left an impression. Not that he had any intention of abusing that - he tried to use it to help the other lower ranked guests where he could, and he didn't mind flexing it as a metaphorical middle finger to the House itself when he could.
When they get fully inside, Sylvain starts steering them away from the door to put a little more safe distance from them. ]

Well. That went easier than I expected it to.
