【 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.
[ Don't worry about it. Just be glad you're a fox instead, Jiaoqiu. Even though because you're a fox, you're also a menace and Wei Wuxian is not used to being the one menaced. He needs to regain his footing, and fast.
A slow blink at the reply and he lets out a soft huh. ]
Well, that's a new one.
[ Facial reconstruction. His eyes glance behind Jiaoqiu at the window, where his reflection looks exactly the same as always, so he knows that's not the truth. Still, fun to play along though. He smiles, as if satisfied. ]
I've always wanted a new face, the old one was getting, well, old. I'm glad for this new one, incredibly handsome as it is, I think I might be in luck.
[ Damn, if only Jiaoqiu had accounted for the possibility of nearby reflective surfaces...but he still has no idea what they're even in, aside from some kind of transport.
...Back to menacing! ]
I'd say you're quite fortunate indeed. [ Says the blind guy. Ok. ] Tell me honestly: how did mine turn out? I fear my smile may not be as charming as before, and if I don't have that going for me, I may be in trouble.
[ As he asks, he smooths his palms over the dashboard, searching for anything that might seem familiar. There's several knobs and button, but even if he knew what they did, he's no pilot. He'll just as soon accidentally eject them than accomplish anything productive. ]
[ He hasn't realized yet that Jiaoqiu is blind, though when he starts to move his palms over the dashboard, there's a curious kind of look from Wei Wuxian and he observes for a beat too long — clearly watching.
But ah, right, the banter. ]
Well, you look as handsome as ever. I like the ears.
Ah, they are my most winsome feature. Very soft, too.
[ Even if on the Xianzhou, some regard Foxian ears with reservation. His companion's comment makes it sound as though it's a sight he's unfamiliar with — an outworlder, perhaps?
His fingers slow over the radio buttons on the dashboard, tapping thoughtfully. ]
Something familiar. Along with the surgical reconstruction, it seems there are some...gaps in my memory. If I may, do you remember how you came to be here?
[ Soft, huh? Wei Wuxian is half-tempted to ask to pet them. He likes soft things! His favorite thing to pet are rabbits so, like, it'd be neat to pet a fox... person. A fox person.
But ah... gaps in his memory, huh? ]
Nope. I just woke up here, not even sure where we are or — well, what we're in. I know these are doors on either side of us but I don't ... really get what that wheel in front of you is for.

[ Cars, man! ]
So, seems we're both out of our depth.
