【 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 could be, he thinks, the best or the worst thing that he's bumped into Eiden here and now, in this situation. Eiden is someone he likes, someone with whom he enjoys spending time, someone who he thinks enjoys spending time with him too...
and here he is, standing in front of him with all the casual confidence in the world, commenting on their clothes like there's nothing to worry about.
Kaveh accepts the hand offered to him with a small smile, even as his free hand drifts to his own pocket, where he's hastily stashed his number; in answer to Eiden's question, he pulls it out, showing it with a slight grimace to the other man. ]
I've... I've topped before, [ he says, his voice quiet. ] But I've never actually.. you know.
[ reaching into his pocket, he turns his own card towards kaveh, an ace of diamonds that dictates he acts the total opposite. as someone who happily molds to his partner's preferences, it's funny to be locked into something at the start—but fine with him.
but kaveh... ah... he's seeing the "problem." ]
Been dominant?
[ eiden pulls his hand to his mouth, kissing his knuckles slowly, almost reverently. ]
Mmm... you think it would be a little easier if it were me, handsome?
[ with a little nip to one of his knuckles, shifting to take his hand and then kiss his palm softly. his eyes remain softly on him, relaxed by contrast. if anything, he can feel how nervous he is, wants to quell that as best he can. ]
[ He hesitates for a moment, seeing the card that Eiden turns over, and then nodding slowly in answer to the question. Right. He's never been dominant. And as comfortable as he usually is with that, right now he just feels embarrassed and shy.
And then Eiden asks him if it would be easier if it were him, and Kaveh gulps. ]
I...
[ As awkward as this whole situation has him feeling, there's a part of him that can't help but recognize that this is the best possible outcome for him here. There aren't many in this whole place that he trusts quite the way he trusts the other man, after all. He knows Eiden will look after him—
But isn't he the one meant to be doing the looking after?
He worries at his lower lip. ]
I want to do this. But I... I might be terrible, so.. don't laugh at me? Please?
And why would I laugh? Come on... you know me better than that.
[ not to scold, simply to help. eiden slides arms around him as he steps forward, pressing a soft and quick kiss on kaveh's worried lips, his eyes meeting his with both reassurance and perhaps a little mischief. ]
Why not treat your submissive like... like the beginnings of a work of art. Hm? [ the gears are turning, and he's happy to assist in bridging the gap of confidence. his hands move to gently cup kaveh's face. ] It only gets there with your direction... your hands... your words. And if you're feeling shy about it... then remember it's just me—and you don't have to impress me at all. You've already done that by just being you...
[ Kaveh smiles, visibly relaxing—of course he knows that Eiden won't laugh at him, but it's still a relief to hear him say it. He smiles into that brief kiss, listening to the other's suggestion: a work of art, he says, becoming what it needs to be with his guidance; the color in his cheeks heightens, but his expression sharpens, something curious and interested in his eyes as his head tilts.
A work of art...
He reaches up, fingers brushing Eiden's hair back from his face, letting the tips trail over the softness of his skin. Yes, he can see Eiden as a work of art. ]
Alright. Shall we find somewhere a little more private, handsome?
[ eiden can feel and see the shift in mood, slow and gradual like a flower blooming and uncurling its petals. fingers brush his hair and he shivers a little, laughter escaping him from the sensation of it. for a moment his eyelashes flutter just a bit at the sharpness he comes to meet with his own eyes.
emotionally, eiden heats a bit more, ears hot, a flush over his skin. a swell of desire and something deeper than that, adoring the other and simmering beneath it all. ]
Lead the way, [ said with a smile that is full of trust, his thumbs gently stroking the rise of kaveh's cheeks before falling to take one of his hands in his own. ] I'm in your very capable hands.
[ He smiles, something more grateful and relieved than it is confident just yet, although that hint of curiosity and interest remains to sharpen his gaze, and he squeezes the hand that takes his, turning to lead Eiden into a more secluded area—thankfully something mostly private, even if it's only a curtain that keeps them from the rest of the people in the Lovers' Hideaway. Behind its safety is a chaise lounge in vibrant red; Kaveh looks at it with a tilt of his head, biting his lip in thought. ]
Mm. Eiden, would you—
[ No. He clears his throat, and tries for a slightly cockier smile. ]
Take those clothes off for me and lay down. Arms above your head, if you would.
[ the shift is duly noted, and eiden can't help but give him a little grin of approval before his own posture shifts to something softer, malleable. with a gentle kiss to the corner of his mouth, eiden pulls away, beginning to unbutton the front of the jacket, letting it slide down his arms. ]
Do you mean everything?
[ a tease, as he drapes it over the side of the lounge and begins to undress in earnest now, the top underneath sliding away in a jeweled shimmer, trousers opening and pulled down over the curve of his ass, along the line of his thighs. his eyes don't leave kaveh's as he sits down, fingers hooked playfully into his undergarments. ]
[ Despite the look on his face managing to hold strong, Eiden will notice a slight hint of color work its way over Kaveh's features as he swallows against his nervousness. It stands to reason that the other would be his usual playful self, and in a lot of ways it helps to ease him into this—at the same time, of course, it makes him a little nervous. Can he hold his own in the face of Eiden's confidence?
He lifts his head a little, lets his chin jut out: a stubborn, determined expression. ]
Everything.
[ Still standing, he leans over him, using the resulting height difference to his advantage. ]
Go on. I want to see how you look, naked and waiting for me.
[ eiden can't help but find himself enjoying the slightly more confident posture kaveh adopts, striding over to where he is and leaning over him, waiting and expectant. his heart races slightly, a little surprise flashing in his eyes, but also arousal, pinking his cheeks. as he's told, he lets his fingers pull the silky undergarments off of his hips, a soft pearl-colored set of fluttery, short boxer briefs that pass his thighs and are kicked off at his ankles to hit the floor. if kaveh wants to see how he looks waiting for him like this, he drapes his arms loosely over his head to rest against the plush pillow behind him, body twisting hips slightly as he lets his legs stretch out in comfort.
of course, he is also undeniably semi-hard, arousal resting slightly on his hip as he meets kaveh's eyes. ]
Like this? [ parting a thigh as he speaks as if to invite him forward if he wants. ]
[ Kaveh watches in approving silence as Eiden strips out of his undergarments, watching as the silky boxer briefs hit the floor and only then allowing his eyes to trail back up, taking in every inch of the other's body as he lays himself out, from the smile on his face to the way his thigh parts, inviting Kaveh closer even as he draws attention to his growing arousal.
The blonde takes the invitation, stepping into the space between Eiden's thighs, one hand reaching to gently cup the two wrists stretched up over the younger's head, a tilt of his own as he considers, crimson eyes drifting to the other's face as he smiles—a slow expression that grows on his lips, almost playful. ]
You're perfect. Now... do you think you can keep these hands where they belong up here? Or do I need to get something to hold them in place?
I think you should be better safe than sorry, [ eiden murmurs this gently, a little suggestion, a mote of vulnerability he offers over: i'd like that. ] My hands tend to wander on their own... can't help it.
[ the playfulness spreading over kaveh's lips feels like a sign that he's starting to relax, and if anything, eiden just wants him to have fun more than anything else. eyes colored like a splash of milk in dark tea meet kaveh's with an underlying, deep trust. with a little wink added to the end of it, he gently draws in kaveh closer with an ankle hooked behind his leg. cheeky. oops. ]
