【 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.
There's someone who's hurriedly rushing over to the table she sees her friend at. Naoto may, out of the corner of her eye, catch a sparkly pink number on a female figure rapidly approaching... before her arm is grabbed and she's being dragged away from the table.] Hi! 'Scuse me! Sorry, I just was going around and I realized I'd lost my friend, so thanks for occupying her I hope you had fun and Naoto-kun what the hell do you think you're doing?!
[That last is spoken quietly, once they're away from the table, as Rise rounds on her.] You know what sort of game that was, don't you?!
[That sure was a noise. Naoto hadn't even been a part of the game yet, she was still getting her bearings after being flung in. It was rather tragic how easy it was for Rise to drag her a few foot before Naoto identified her and willingly followed.
As for the question. Naoto tilted her head, eyebrows rising.]
Playing dice? I know you and Yosuke-senpai think of me as uh... A 'stick in the mud', but I know a few card games and the like.
[And as if to cement her lack of understanding. She smiled.]
I remember playing dice with my grandfather when he had time.
Naoto-kun, did you even look at what was on those dice? You were about to get yourself in a lot of trouble!
[Wait. Hang on.
Rise's brain takes a moment to catch up.]
...wait. Naoto-kun, why are you here? When did you get here?! Oh man, I've missed you-- [She's going from getting chewed out to getting a big ol' hug.]
[She just stared, it occuring to her that she'd missed something big in her frustration. But not knowing what. Was there something on the die other than numbers? But Naoto hadn't seen the dice yet, she'd just been waiting to join while it was set up.
[NEVERMIND being hugged now. For a good few seconds Naoto was frozen, arms hanging at her sides. Taking a moment to process what Rise was saying and the sudden hug. Rise had always been...touchy. But not like this.
Naoto slowly and very stiffly returned the hug. Uh...Just going to wrap her arms around Rise's waist and only touch her back. This was much easier with Teddie. Then she frowned, even if Rise wouldn't really see that.]
What do you mean? You just saw me... Yesterday, I suppose. I've been here since this morning.
[It'd been at least a night since Naoto had been grabbed.]
[Naoto really wanted to point out that she'd only been here a few hours. How she'd woken up, alone and trapped in wardrobe, then forced to attend this party.
But Rise was starting to cry so it wasn't the time. Naoto, still very slowly, rubbed at Rise's back. Her hand only just brushing against the fabric of her dress. Look, it'd helped calm Teddie down.
But then Naoto was pulling back, frowning as she looked at Rise's face.]
dirty dice
Oh, no, no, no.

The link not working makes it extra funny

[Okay, Rise is just giving her a look.
And watch as those eyes steadily fill with tears. Not her crocodile tears, either. Real, genuine ones.
Rise throws her arms around Naoto's shoulders again, and this time the hug is desperate and sincere.]
I've really missed you... it can be a little toughhere, you know?

Are you alright? Did someone hurt you?
