【 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.
[ of all the things he thought might happen, it definitely wasn't any of that. the whistle is one thing, but the ghost—it makes his fur stand on end and goosebumps break out on his skin, threatened in a way he's only ever felt once or twice before. it's kind of a surprise to him that nothing dangerous ends up happening; just an open door and a response from Wei Wuxian like it's exactly what he intended on happening.
Del's mouth hangs open, at a loss for words. or rather, struggling with which ones to say. a lot of "what the hell was that," for one thing, but when all is said and done, there's only one thought that ends up rising above the others and making it out of his mouth. the dim shock fades from his expression, which falls flat with a different sort of disbelief. ]
Why didn't you just say you could do that in the first place?!
[ He watches Fidelio's shocked expression with mild curiosity, wondering where he's going to land. Disgust, disbelief, or the very rare, delight. He remembers his juniors, the first time he used demonic cultivation in front of them — they'd heard it was bad, but seeing it in action was a very different thing and left them wildly impressed and covetous. But they would never turn to it, having had the dangers of it beat into them from a young age.
When Fidelio finally exclaims his point, Wei Wuxian does have the grace to look a bit sheepish though. He doesn't have a good answer, more that he just didn't think they needed it until they expended all their options. Whoops! ]
It's not usually the first thing I do when I'm in trouble. More of a back-up plan, you know?
[ He tries to look charming, but he doubts it's going to work on Fidelio. Just a feeling he gets. ]
But we're free now! Are you okay?
[ Just checking in. He could tell how the ghost spooked Fidelio a bit but they're also strangers, so there's no reason for him to admit it to Wei Wuxian. Still, Wei Wuxian isn't too callous to ignore it. ]
