【 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.
[ Truthfully, this is the kind of reception that Jiaoqiu expected to be met with — or would expect, were he anywhere than a resort built on pleasure and indulgence. Like a thread drawn just out of reach, this stranger's reluctance only intrigues him further. If he isn't here to play the game, then what drew him here instead?
He offers a gentle chuckle that's both good-natured and genuine. He won't be offended if he's rejected, but he hasn't given up yet! ]
Ah, but you know what they say! A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. [ Okay grandpa, that was pretty cringe. ] In any case, I might argue the game's vulgarity is what makes it best suited to play with a stranger. That way, you won't have to look a familiar face in the eye, in case you wind up...
[ Dropping his voice into a hushed tone, leaning forward conspiratorially towards Sunday: ]
[Unfortunately, the dramatics is met with a perfectly stony look. How could he have survived as the Family Head of the Dreamscape if a little tomfoolery got to him so easily? ... But, he knows, there is a time and a place. This individual means no harm, and while 'sniffing an elbow' is low on his list of favorite activities, he's noticed the eyes of staff on him for a while now. Perhaps this is the necessary distraction he needs to draw some of the attention away from himself. He can slip out later.
The only downside is it means he has to play this game. 😔]
I have a few conditions first. [It's not a rejection, and it seems he's accepted by the way he sits down across the table. Primly. Legs crossed.] Some of these numbers I would like to completely exclude from the parameters of the game due to their natural obscenity and my own... preferences.
[First he picks up Die A and lists:] Numbers 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 12. [Now, he picks up Die B:] Numbers 1, 4, 5 — and definitely 9 and 10. Are we agreed?
[ooc: i am so sorry about him but to save you some scrolling, the actions are 'finger, kiss, suck, fondle, lick, grind on' and the places are 'lips, ass, mouth, nipple, genitals'.]
[ At least given the current circumstances, Jiaoqiu's bark is worse than his bite. He can't help a ripe opportunity to tease, but he wouldn't derive any pleasure from urging someone to play a game they had no interest in. He might've settled in without too much fuss, but as with any life-altering change, that's not going to be true for everyone. Especially somewhere that's so keen to push people to the limits of their comfort, or even beyond.
So though he still wears a politely impish smile, Jiaoqiu quickly nods his assent, leaning forward to prop his chin up in his palm. ]
As you wish. As you've decided to honor me with your presence, I'd be happy to roll first.
[ As he reaches forward to pick up his dice, he dips his head forward in a cordial bow. ]
Before we start, however, I believe introductions are in order. My name is Jiaoqiu.
[ It's a little unusual to not include anything about his position in his introduction, but it doesn't make any difference here, does it? Little does he know... ]
Mr. Jiaoqiu, it's good to meet you. My name is Sunday.
[His own introduction is formal, though also lacking titles, primarily because he no longer possesses any — a strangely freeing realization. He anticipated it would be like this as soon as he disembarked from Penacony; to experience it in practice is something else completely.]
I don't mean to be rude by asking, but are you Foxian? I only ask because you are the first I've seen here, which I find rather unusual given the sheer number of guests at this resort.
[There were plenty of Foxian even in the dreamscape, many of which counted themselves among the trade market.]
Then again, I suppose our attendance is... unwilling.
