【 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.
[ Wei Wuxian feels exceptionally pleased when Jing Yuan says he enjoys his confidence. His comment then didn't miss the mark, didn't spoil the atmosphere. It just charmed Jing Yuan like he wanted.
The question comes and he nods his head, remembering the teapot and assortment of teabags left for them. His interest was more in the food but the tea, that's a good start to the day. ]
[ morning is for tea! and delicious food as well. he can smell that congee.. ]
Though I do hate to abandon such a lovely face so soon, but - [ his stomach growls, as if on cue. ] - well, perhaps I can convince you to share some congee?
[ Wei Wuxian completely agrees! Tea and congee, a perfect breakfast. So, he doesn't blame Jing Yuan for wanting to get up and get something. Perhaps they can return to the bed later instead...!
The compliment curls a pleased smile on Wei Wuxian's face and he shifts to sit up, folding his legs underneath him as he does. ]
Oh, this face won't go anywhere anytime soon. [ :) ] But, yeah, of course. There's plenty for both of us, I was just teasing earlier. Do you want me to serve you some while you get up?
[ He's happy to, his own serving is still on the bedside table and there's more small bowls next to the steaming pot of congee left for them. ]
[ the compliment lands well, and jing yuan smiles warmly, watching as wei wuxian sits up at last. he should do the same, but.. gosh bed is so comfy.. ]
That won't be necessary, my friend, though you are very kind to offer.
[ he's perfectly capable of serving himself! if he, you know. gets up. which he can absolutely do. he's doing it right now. in a minute. no, okay, he's actually sitting up with a put-upon groan, the blankets tumbling over his bare chest and abdomen to pool around his hips. getting out of bed is truly difficult.. ]
I believe that introductions are in order, forgive my poor manners. I am Jing Yuan, Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou Luofu. It is a pleasure, my friend.
[ Getting out of bed IS difficult. But Jing Yuan's attempts are appreciated, but probably not for the most upstanding of reasons. Wei Wuxian's eyes drift over his chest and abdomen as the blanket tumbles down, unable to help the slightly admiring look at Jing Yuan's body. Can't a guy just appreciate another guy's abs? Come on now.
But when Jing Yuan speaks, his eyes snap back up to meet his face and he gives a bright grin, a laugh at the apology. ]
A pleasure to meet you, Jing Yuan. I'm Wei Wuxian, no title to speak of though. [ He is not telling people he's the Yiling Patriarch while he's here, no. ] So, you're a general? You must be quite powerful.
[ Since he doesn't need to move, he will reach over to grab his congee from the bedside table, setting it in the space between his legs and scooping up a bite with his spoon, eating. ]
Titles are about as useful as nipples on a breastplate here, really.
[ he says with a laugh, unperturbed by wei wuxian's open ogling. he's not quite as in shape as he was a few decades while he was at war, but like.. for jing yuan, being out of shape is like. still this way. thankfully he's not the arrogant type to make his pecs dance for attention. ]
And, well, power is relative, isn't it? In comparison with many of those aboard the Xianzhou, I suppose that I am, but when compared with the might of an Aeon, I am much less so.
[ anyway, delicious congee! he scoops some into a bowl for himself and takes a bite, humming his satisfaction. ]
[ NOT... IN SHAPE.... ALRIGHT, SURE. Don't say that to Wei Wuxian, he might have a conniption fit. Jing Yuan is a fine specimen and Wei Wuxian just... can't help but admire.
He does laugh at the first comment, finding the comparison amusing and chuckling around his spoon as he eats. The second comment though, he tilts his head curiously at Jing Yuan, wondering what he means. ]
What's an "Aeon"?
[ Aboard the Xianzhou he can put together, the Xianzhou must be something of a vessel, right? So, he's like a ship captain maybe? But he said general so... hm, something to think about. ]
[ LMFAO HE'S.. LOOK, HE COULD BE MORE IN SHAPE, OR SOMETHING. but he's still stacked, yeah. please enjoy. in the meantime, jing yuan will enjoy that pretty face. he looks surprised by the question, however. even in the far flung reaches of the universe, aeons are usually known. ]
An Aeon is.. hmm. Like a God, I suppose, but even more powerful and unknowable.
[ he eats while he explains. ]
They are the embodiment of a concept, or a philosophy. For instance, the Aeon that is followed by the Xianzhou is Lan, The Hunt. Others include the Aeon of Beauty, or of Harmony, or of Preservation.
[ YEAH... WEI WUXIAN IS GOING TO ENJOY. As long as Jing Yuan keeps enjoying his pretty face too. But he continues to eat his congee, almost done with his bowl now, and listens to Jing Yuan's explanation patiently.
How interesting...! He thinks of the mythological figures and gods that he knows, how some of them aren't too far from reality either. An Aeon, it must be the most powerful thing in Jing Yuan's world. ]
Interesting. Is there one that embodies "death"?
[ Sorry, Jing Yuan, Wei Wuxian is going to be a little creepy now. ]
