【 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.
[ it's true. he too is one hell of a bartender -- one who doesn't always get riled up so easily, as nehan has correctly surmised. but alas, no one is perfect. ]
Oh, we'd be here all day if I were to list everything down for you. But in essence, he was an insufferable genius who'd gotten himself into a lot of trouble and it was up to me to get him out of them.
[ his fingers twitch, and he realizes that he cannot summon his pipe. what a shame. this topic often drives him to smoke or drink, whichever comes first to mind. ]
But that's all right. Even if he was like that, I do not ever wish for him to change. [ a soft chuckle as he places his cheek on an open palm. ] Troublesome things have their own appeal at the end of the day. Do you not agree?
[ please don't agree he is a certified Freak™️ and he's aware of it ]
[ a drink would make this game easier and harder: looser tongues, more uncoordinated fingers. in the end, it's for the best he's ignored the drinks that are passed around the floor; he reaches out for a new card, and for a moment, it makes the whole structure sway and sigh. ]
No. They're just troublesome. I think that's a matter of your tastes.
[ can't control love and attraction. sometimes you are just a freak ❤️ ]
Or maybe it's that you enjoy cleaning up after his messes.
[ but that's a whole different bag of worms. he's managed to free the stubborn card now, flipping it with little flourish lest it knock the whole house over.
[ and that's all he can say on the matter. who knows if that guy is around in earshot. the two of them are practically a package deal together wherever they go.
anyway, his eyes light up at the next prompt. ]
Let's see. I don't often keep that many secret desires; I usually wear them on my sleeve, you see. But if I have to share one, it'd be...
[ he leans in closer as if to share a secret, prompting nehan to do the same. ]
Not that I'd actively encourage this nor do I partake in it myself, but there's a certain appeal in infidelity that I've heard from my various patrons over the centuries. I might indulge them in just one night, depending on how far they'd go for their deepest, darkest desire.
[ he obliges so far as a tiny tilt of his head, the minute lean of one of his ears. subtle, but enough to be purposeful.
and it's worthwhile, because isn't that a curious want. a little homewrecking. ]
...People do put plenty on the line for that.
[ the risk of being caught, the potential to lose what they have, the possibility of hurting those closest to them, ostensibly. he grabs a drink off a nearby server's tray as he speaks. ]
What sort of "patrons" do you serve? [ moreso than the desire itself, he's curious about the framing around the answer. ]
