【 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.
I don't mean to cause any offense by it. I was raised to treat all women with manners, so the term of endearment comes naturally.
( After every lady's name, young or old! Of course, if it really bothers her, he can stop for her sake, if he puts his mind to it. Leaning over, he swipes a drink from one of the trays passing by with many of them. Not the champagne, pointedly— something with less issues. )
It certainly is strange. This isn't like any brothel I've seen.
( ooc: sorry for the delay!! I wasn't able to manage finishing my app for this round, but hopefully if the desire keeps up I'll try next round! so if you'd rather drop this thread for now or anything, pls feel free no hard feelings ♥ )
Intense... Yes, I could certainly see that. The energy here carries an ugly sort of force along with it.
( He won't mention his brothel experience, but it hardly matters, anyway. He takes a sip of the drink he'd grabbed, glancing down at it. It tastes fine... )
You have good intuition. For something to appear perfect, without any blemishes, is unnatural.
( Ugliness even in beauty, or something like that, is probably what he'd say... But he doesn't feel like even making that joke right now. He rests his cheek on his fist, his opposite hand tracing a finger around the base of his own glass. )
I've heard that we exist in a space outside of our own worlds. The Golden Peacock. The information on these "Watches" is a little lacking, but there are plenty of kind people here who would gladly inform you of the details.
[ It sounds like something out of a storybook to her. But she's living it. She's here. She takes a bite of the food and looks thoughtful, face screwed up in concentration. ]
Would you like to get away from here, dear? The party, that is.
( Everything he says sounds flirtatious, but I swear he's /gen here. As he leans in, offering a palm up, it's an almost mischievous hint behind the smile that gives that away. Like he's ready to cause trouble at the drop of a hat if it means helping someone. )

[ She frowns. ]
...don't need t'call me "dear".
[ She's adjusting, but still being a bit of her prickly self. ]

[ Red snorts. ]
Reminds me of a fancy casino or hotel. But... way more intense in a way. Know what I mean?

Like an ominous shadow.

One way to put it. I'd call it a bunch of bullshit. It's all... shining and attractive, but I don't really want to trust that.
[ She groans. ]
Especially since I still don't know where we are.

It's overwhelming. They just throw us right in.

I could try and find you a way out.

[ She shrugs. It's flirtatious, sure, but... well. She's putting up with it. After a moment she reaches out to take his hand. ]
Doubt they're gonna let us just walk out, though. So what's the plan?
