【 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.
Though it does sound like the things in her sea aren't any less terrifying than the things in his own. Some worlds just don't have a lot of water based luck, it seems.
The story doesn't seem to freak him out at all, his expression staying relatively passive, though he does furrow his brow as he considers something. ]
You're lucky you were able to get out quickly then.
Yeah, well. If nobody had saved me back then, I wouldn't be here fighting for my life yet again.
[ she's never sounded so drier at that. there's more to it of course, but the last thing she wants is to traumadump on yet another AK boy.........
ahem. anyway. ]
Third one... I won't lie, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here. There are things that I'm not legally allowed to tell you right now. [ hmm. ] Oh. Sometimes I think that if I hit a broken object hard enough, it might start working again. That's weird enough, right?
[ He won't even question it. The whale story was enough to give him the sense of the dangers in her world, and if she's out there doing things that require climbing into one, well...
He can understand that when she says fighting for her life, she probably means it literally. Less not wanting the trauma dump, and more not being the type to pry into other's personal business, Broca nods and says nothing to that.
Though he does stop at the last one. ]
That does work sometimes though.
[ He's certain of it. He's definitely smacked malfunctioning machinery back into working order before. ]
See? And yet people think I've lost my mind whenever I resort to that. Either way I'm just going to count it as a weird fact of mine so that we can move on to another question.
[ she's had enough of the attention, even if it's with a single guy. she swipes a card from the tower which wobbles at the movement, but nevertheless stands its ground. ]
"Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever had sex?" [ and once she's said it, she pales a little. ] Um. You don't have to elaborate on it.
[ Though the third fact doesn't strike Broca as particularly strange, he'll let it slide. The first two were more than odd enough to make up for it, and two out of three weird facts isn't bad, is it?
Though the problem with moving on is that he now has to answer a question that he gets the sense she's more bothered by him answering than he is.
It doesn't help that he has to stop to think about that for a minute, because he's not sure what qualifies as weird... a closet twice, the public bathroom three times, one of the hallways here... four times? It probably depends how someone counts a stairwell. Maybe three hallways and one stairwell.
He's had sex out in the open more than he has in rooms, and as he sits here puzzling over that fact, he's starting to realize something a little unfortunate about himself.
He'll keep it at least a little classy by saying-- ]
Indoor gardens.
[ At least it looks pretty in a way that might set an appropriate tone for sex.
That's also another place he's done it at three times, but she didn't want elaboration, so he won't add that fact. ]
[ the way he had to pause and think real hard on it is not helping ishmael's impression of him at all, nor this place. she waits patiently for his answer because she's got a feeling he's hesitating on telling her, which is something she can't blame him for. that's a very personal question, one that shouldn't be asked by a total stranger in the first place, but... too late now.
she lets his final answer sink in for a moment, before nodding. ]
...Okay. That's fair, I suppose.
[ one shouldn't be fucking in the gardens, she supposes. but now she's curious. ]
Is it that normal? To be fucking in public without caring who sees and hears?
[ because she is not looking forward for her turn if that day comes. ]
[ In a real garden you'd at least get theoretically fresh air, though in this place where even the outside is all just an elaborate ruse, Broca can't imagine that it helps but so much. ... More greenery might at least mean better quality oxygen, but that's about all he can say for it.
That and there is something nice because feeling grass on bare skin, but her reaction does not give him the sense she wants to hear those kind of details about his experiences.
He hesitates for a moment at the follow up questions, not sure how much he wants to damn himself here. ]
For some people. Plenty of people still take it somewhere more private first.
[ His ears are so flat against his head, his tail twitching. He's not saying "it doesn't matter to me personally", but he might as well be with that admission. ]
[ it's, uh. it's pretty obvious, my guy. but again, she's not here to judge. she can only hope that she won't be into it once the house decides to check her in for the long haul. ]
Makes sense... And it's not like anyone here's in a hurry to fuck, right?
[ With no prior inclination for that kind of behavior, she's somewhat safer than Broca himself. Hookups behind seedy bars, or other places that weren't altogether private weren't common for him prior to coming to this hotel.....
But the weren't unheard of either.
He makes an uncertain sound at that question, though he doesn't answer it fully as he grabs another card and--
[ that question, combined with the blunt way he says it gets her to fluster. this is the standard around here? though, the fact that she's still able to flush at such questions means that she hasn't lost her shame yet. she's going to hold on to that for as long as she could, knowing that she too might lose it all one day. ]
Uh.
[ her mind's coming up an utter blank. let's see, what part of her body turns her on again. tfw she'd had sex before but there was nothing exploratory about it. she'll have to think real hard on what turns her on. ]
My... My nape, I guess. Because it's hard to gain access to it with all my hair in the way. [ that's one. ] And... I guess between my legs? That's an obvious one, isn't it?
[ It probably is the standard, but it’s a little bit a Broca problem too. If expected to for whatever reason, he would ask a question like this just as bluntly even before having spent time in the Golden Peacock. There wasn’t exactly a lot of delicacy in this man.
That lack of delicacy is continuing as he watches her answers. He’s perfectly attentive, listening with ears perked forward, but not looking particularly flustered or bothered by her listing things. It all seems pretty tame to him too by the standards of this place. ]
Counts still.
[ He’ll let it count at least, and shrugs like it’s not a problem for him personally for her to list that. ]
