【 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.
[ look at him... even his robe is the plain terrycloth ones in cheap motels, the incredibly stiff ones that can't even tie properly because of how rigid the cloth has become. ]
Unless you mean I could go and steal from them, but that's too low, even for me.
[ let it be known that apart from that dilapidated pick-up truck that had the board, he'd only plucked things off of really fancy cars! the kind that reeks of a wealth that would sooner replace the whole care itself than whatever was taken from it. his conscious is clear, thanks!
still, the guy brings up a good point. it's not like reki's gonna find any tiny little wheels crawling on all fours around here. ]
Anyway, it won't really matter if I can't even get outta here. I must've gone through a dozen rows and I still haven't seen a single exit!
[He gives him look over, trying to catch a glimpse of dreaded card mark, but doesn't see any (in obvious spots), so he assumes he's new.]
Anyone new gets some money to start off. It's not much, but I think it will help you put together your skateboard if you go looking for spare parts.
[He COULD break the news to the guy and tell him how he's going to be earning money in the future but is he mean to do it NOW? In the parking lot? Where they are freezing their asses off?
Yusuke's not mean like that.]
We will find out eventually, the Hotel could never run without us, [he mutters sarcastically, shivers, and heads between the cars to continue looking.] Bring your stuff with you, we'll find an exit together.
[ reki perks up, going from mildly frustrated to intrigued within a half-second. behind him he reaches out for the wagon handle, not even hesitating to follow the other's instruction and keep pace at his side. ]
Oh — you aren't new?
[ okay, so yusuke had pretty much spoken earlier as if he had a good handle of the place, but it literally didn't occur to reki until this very moment that they were all that different in footing. the circumstances threw him off... but maybe the quality of the other guy's robe should have clued him in earlier. in any case, it definitely seems like a good idea to stick around this guy for now. ]
No, I've been here a while. [Ten months, to be more precise.] Never spent any time in the garage. As I mentioned, this entire thing is pointless and just to show the wealth off.
[Happy that the guy's following him (he'd hate to leave him here if he got stubborn), Yusuke continues down the row of cars and limos and other fancy vehicles.]
No. And I am unsure if you'll ever get it back. You can, however, get new- once we find our way out. [Hopefully the stores aren't celebrating some silly "holiday" and force them to wear questionable things.]

With what money, dude?

Do you know where they took my clothes, too??
