【 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.
[ You know, he hates to see you go, but he loves to see you walk away. His temper eases quickly, because he hadn't expected her to get out of bed to get a drink. He stays in bed for now, crossing one of his ankles over the other. ]
You don't gotta get it yourself, y'know.
[ you hear that, Panty? He's easy to manipulate. ]
If you don't find what you need, I'll get it for ya.
[ Damn right she has to get it herself! How else will Panty get first dibs on all the good stuff and leave the cheap, crappy options for him? If she has to choke down some gross, watery, 'happy hour in the boonies' level of beer, she might actually be sick. For now, she pops an aspirin and washes it down with a gulp of black coffee from one of the mugs on the table. ]
Slow down, Romeo. Chrissake.
[ SKEPTICAL LOOK. Beowulf sure has the ego and body of the wrestling god he seems to think he is, but Panty's seen her fair share of wannabe rockstars. ]
You sure you have the cash to back up a promise like that?
[ Yeah, okay. She's definitely a lot like some of the less-than-pleasant women back home. She kind of has the same attitude which that creepy nurse had? Though, Valentine actually has a bust. Sorry, Panty.
He rakes a hand through his hair and shakes it out, puffing up with pride. ]
I'm a celebrity! 'Course I do. Though, I'm strapped for cash since coming here, I guess. You ended up without your belongings too, didn't you? Me too.
[ WHERE THE FUCK IS HIS STEEL CHAIR, HE MISSES IT. ]
...so how's your 'I'll be your sugar daddy' plan gonna work, then?
[ Panty absolutely positively does a terrible Schwarzenegger impression that doesn't even attempt to sound remotely like Beowulf, paired with sarcastic finger quotes for maximum corniness. And yes, she's also poor as dirt. Like hell is Panty going to be caught dead saying it out loud, though. ]
No fucking way are you getting away with trading a blowie for some top shelf bubbly, buster.
[ Beowulf has accomplished the impossible... out-stupiding Panty to the point she decides it's easier to just give up. How the hell is she supposed to win this argument if he doesn't even know they're having an argument? ]
I'll just pretend you totally agree with me! If people start fighting eachother here, it could really become a business, don't'cha think? Would be easy to get some money that way. People like high stakes and crap, it's a casino.. surely there's some other big guys here I can fight!
[ That actually has some appeal. Panty's mostly thinking of a bunch of hot, shirtless dudes lathered in oil, but there's no reason why that can't be a house rule or something. Lube up or get lost. Oh no. She's actually buying into his idea. OH NO. ]
Hell yeah, baby, that's exactly what I mean! I can't be the only guy that likes fighting around here. People can make bets, we can sell tickets. It's simple showtime business. I know it's gonna drive me apeshit not having challengers in the ring. I'm sure I'm not alone!
[ She knows next to nothing tbh. If she watches wrestling, it's for the beefcake. For now, Panty takes a big ol' bite from some of the toast on the table and points at him like she's making some genius point about a topic she has any expertise in. (Debatable) ]
Beat the shit out of the other guy and walk around in a mankini. What's there to know?

You mean like, a fight club or something?
