【 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.
( a randomized card is way more fun than being given a card in accordance to his current rank. he draws an ace of diamonds instead, assigning him as submissive, and aventurine is fine with it. if he's lucky, maybe he will find someone interesting.
if he's luckier, perhaps, he'll find a familiar face - not one he has met, per say, but with how tight the dealings with the xianzhou yaoqing are, and the current agreements with the xianzhou luofu, it's hard not to match a description to a face, and find the seat of divine foresight himself within the lovers' hideways.
aventurine minds not if he's not recognized - the ipc is quite the large company, and most of the contact with the xianzhou alliance is done by the marketing department -, but at least he's dressed up just as nicely, thanks to the house. he did miss wearing a nice suit. )
It's not so fun if I just tell you, is it? This is, after all, a party in a casino. Should we not add some gambling to this game?
[ jing yuan, for his part, would likely have no issue deducing who aventurine is under the correct circumstances, given everything he has learned from the nameless, but as yet he has no reason to assume that this man might share a home universe with him. most of the people he has met do not. even still..
.. well, there's a very obvious giveaway, is there not? those eyes. jing yuan chuckles lightly under his breath. ]
Are we not already gambling more than enough for you, my friend?
[ though jing yuan does very much enjoy games, he prefers challenges of strategy and cunning over sheer luck - but then, he has been known to gamble more than once. ]
Let me think. Perhaps something simple. [ he gestures to a nearby table. ] Evens and odds. We roll a die, and if the result is an even number, I will tell you something I enjoy. If it is odd, you will tell me.
( low risk and... a variable reward, depending on who is asked. not bad. he hums in thought, waging his options. it's not so bad a game to play, but is it fun, for a crazed gambler? how bad could it be, to hit on an important figure of the xianzhou alliance? )
Surely we didn't come here only to talk preferences, did we? How about - to every preference we don't confess to, the other gets to do anything they want. A risk makes it more enjoyable, don't you think?
( well - and whether jing yuan accepts his proposal or not, aventurine still snaps a die into existence. eight faces, and he offers it to the general. )
Why don't you do the honors? Ah, and if you're wondering if the die is enchanted in any way, I can give my word that it's not. There's no fun in that.
Of course not, but knowing your preferences before we begin would be ideal.
[ or, really, knowing what he doesn't like. jing yuan can enjoy rough play and kink, but consent is important, as is his partner's reciprocation - though he is beginning to understand that perhaps it is the very risk itself that aventurine finds enjoyable. what an odd little man.
he plucks up the die with a smile. ]
Nevertheless, I am amenable to the terms. Come, then.
[ jing yuan gestures to the nearby table, and even goes so far as to slide out a chair for his friend, like the gentleman he is. ]
( little does jing yuan know that preferences talk with aventurine is short and simple. what doesn't he like?
(many things, but none that he's so aware of, and fewer still that he would admit to disliking, but that's not for this moment, not for this meeting.)
yet he does not mind playing; aventurine is good at lying and, all things considered, he can point out the things he does like, superficial as though they likely are. he hums, pleased with how cooperative one of the generals of the xianzhou is. maybe he will pay them a visit, next time the ipc is doing work in the luofu and... well, next time his schedule is free. whenever that is. )
Thank you, my friend. ( aventurine takes his seat, crossing a leg over the other. were this a different setting, this could almost be a business talk. ) Oh, but first, if you don't mind.
( he's getting a waiter to bring them some drinks, to wet their throats and keep things a little more lively, if need be. room service sure is always exceptional in the golden peacock, huh. ) A precaution, to make sure we aren't too shy to speak. ( lol. a moment, and the waiter brings them two cocktails. )
[ aventurine sits, and jing yuan slides the chair in comfortably beneath him before stepping to the opposite side and shrugging off his heavy, furred overcoat, draping it neatly over the back of his own chair. sliding into his seat, he sets the die between them just as the drinks are served. ]
Are you a shy man? [ he asks, with a smile. ] I would not have guessed that you would need the lubrication to speak freely.
[ well. speak freely about his kinks, at least. everything else he's sure that this man holds close to the vest. he won't look a gift horse in the mouth, however - jing yuan plucks up his drink and takes a generous sip. ah, sweet. he likes that. it's no baijiu but he certainly enjoys it. ]
Please, go first.
[ while he settles into his usual comfortable, confident manspread. ]
