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.

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 another little swallow from Red. She's not backing down now, not about to let herself get scared away. It's a little flustering, sure, but - she's not a blushing virgin, is she? She can handle this. Or at least that's what she tells herself, even as her temper roils a little seeing just how smug this new partner of hers is. Her arm loops around her middle in a light hold, steadying her atop her thigh. There's the brush of warm breath against her ear and it sends another jolt up her spine. Even if it also makes her think of another face and another place. She snaps herself back to the present after a moment, that question lingering between them. ]
Hardly. Not like I've never done this before-
[ God, she smells good.
Not that she wants to linger on that, but-
She doesn't quite whine, but she exhales in a low, soft little sound as Coquelic grinds down against her thigh. It's slow and steady and it makes her skin prickle with gooseflesh. A rush of heat and want and desire that settles in her belly in an uncomfortable sort of tension. There are so many pairs of staring eye and a part of her wants to flee from this. But she can't, can she? Instead her hand settles on the small of her back, guides Coquelic through that slow grind and only then does her breath escape her again. Her skin is flushed and she has to lean forward to reach for the dice. ]
You're staying in my lap, huh?
[ She rolls before she can answer.
Finger thigh.
There's a pause. A distinct pause. And then her other hand lifts and settles on Coquelic's knee, taking a moment before the plunge. ]
And I'm guessing you're not going to want to stop.
[ She asks airily, greedily rocking her hips back to where they started. The quiet huff that escapes her from the movement and friction seems more genuine than the put upon, deliberately erotic breath from earlier. She doesn't bother craning her head around to see the results of the die, confident that however the chips fall, she'll find a way to wring pleasure out of it. Case in point: ]
You should know that I only do things I enjoy. If I'm having a good time, [ Her eyes flutter down, seeing the other woman's fingers gracing the bend of her knee, laughing a bit to herself. ] Then I don't let anyone take that from me.
[ Sure, maybe she's admitting that she's having fun, but that's obvious, isn't it? From the indulgent, subtle movements of her hips, to the way she rests her weight more heavily over the ridge of her thigh, as if to say I'm not moving. From the way one of her hands snakes from around her neck to lay flat on her sternum, pushing her further into the couch. Dragging further down like a brand. A threat? Or a promise of more, her hands slipping between the fabric wherever she can to feel bare skin. From the way she leans forward until their foreheads touch, her head still tilted down so she can watch the space between them, where they're touching, and what she plans to do with her hand. What can she say... not only is she a narcissist who finds her own body alluring, she likes to watch in general — wants to see this woman's hesitation surge forward to action. ]
Not that you seem particularly opposed. Aha...
[ Only then do her eyes flick forward between the scant space between them, crimson eyes unabashedly meeting hers, if she lets her. ]
Because this isn't the kind of thing you do in front of an audience.
[ Red responds, voice low. Not quite a growl, but there's a touch of fire to it. Something a little frustrated, maybe even angry or embarrassed. She's told herself she's not backing away but it still twists in her gut; there's still that sense of shame. The thought that people are going to look at her - look at them both - and judge. Or just watch. The judging isn't really the problem, is it? Her tongue wets her lips as she tries to ignore the rolling heat in her that seems to be building now; that sense of want and arousal that lingers as she feels Coquelic press against her thigh and then the brush of fingers under her shirt or at her collar, working against bare skin.
Red swallows. She meets her gaze, teeth gritting a little as their foreheads touch. Their eyes meet and then she glances down to where her fingers rest against her knee - and she moves. Her hand slides up her leg, her nails dragging against her inner thigh in a little touch that's part tease, part just a scrape of fingers as she tries to find her way through the minefield that's sprung up around her. ]
I'm just a sore loser. That's it-
[ She finally meets her eyes again - and there's a little shiver in her spine and her body; a need she can't really ignore. ]
[ When her nails scrape against the sensitive inner part of her thigh, she sucks in a breath between her teeth, half-way to another laugh. Coquelic isn't so pushy and bossy that she can't enjoy a little build up. Briefly, she wonders if she should look for the dice again, though she gets distracted by the next thing that falls from her companion's lips. ]
So this is all about you not losing to me, then... and back to the shy thing.
[ Her gaze turns piercing, analytical, like she's going shrive clean all the overgrowth to get to the true heart of the matter — if that's really what the other woman feels in her heart. Leaning more on her knees, she lifts some of her body weight off the apex of her thigh, pressing their torsos closer together instead, chest to chest, her hands moving accordingly. All so she can look down at where her nails are still dug into her soft skin without getting sidetracked by having her own fun, rocking ambiently into her leg. They were her words, not Coquelic's: if this is about the game, then, she'll force her to put her money where her mouth is. ]
I didn't even see what you rolled, [ She huffs, an obvious taunt on her lips: ] Was that all you needed? Want me to go again, pup?
[ The implication being that she could stop this charade right now if all she cares about is the next roll. There's an undeniable challenge to the lilt of her voice, like she's daring her to tell her to get off and just get on with the next roll. Even if she does do it... Coquelic thinks it'll be fun to put her under her thumb, to force her to utter the worlds aloud. If she's feeling any sort of way about others' gazes lingering on her, she doesn't show it — if anything, she seems completely unfazed by it, as though this is the sort of thing that's done with an audience. ]
There's a difference between shy and not being an exhibitionist.
[ Red mutters, although she's not doing a good job of showing the difference considering the way her heart races in her chest and the flush in her cheeks. There's a very attractive woman in her lap after all - no, straddling her thigh - and her fingers inch a little higher, despite herself, the pads sliding up and up until she feels lace under her fingers and she's practically got her hand buried against her underwear. Her throat works in a slow swallow. The movements of their bodies just add to the rush of heat in her belly and the faint sense of dizziness that follows her. ]
That's it.
[ She finally confirms with a little hiss. ]
If you don't go, it's my win, isn't it?
[ Not quite an answer. But she hasn't let her go with her other hand just yet. ]
[ Rather than always winning, what Coquelic is more interested in is always getting what she wants. Right now, that's her own pleasure, and maybe the satisfaction she'd get out of bending someone to her whims like this, even for a game. The touch of the other's fingers at the lace at the front of her garment is featherlight — but still noticeable enough. Could she push her into playing along? It's looking like it. ]
A few chips is no skin off my nose... [ She hums, sounding well and truly carefree. She's fickle; a few minutes ago, she might've cared more about winning for the sake of domination. But when it comes to actual need... ] The same can't be said for you though, can it?
[ Who knows where she'll get slotted in. Coquelic's in a comfortable position here at the resort — it's not as extravagant as she'd like, but it's nice. She doesn't need to grovel. ]
You can think of it more like a... generous donation.
[ The word generous in particular is laced with irony. Between the lines, sure, she'll forfeit. Being here at this hotel is only about having a great time for her, after all, and this is fun. ]
That's only if you know how to show some gratitude, though.
[ For all that she is playing along a little, she still seems a bit defiant - or at least she's trying to be. It's a little strange for her, in any case, to be caught between the urge to prove she can win this game and wanting to pull back. She furrows her brow. ]
It's not like I have much to lose.
[ She's more right than she knows and also more wrong than she knows. She's not used to this place yet. ]
Gratitude? What? You expect me to get on my knees or owe you a favor or what? Because that's not happening.
[ She laughs again, though it's less loud and more to herself this time. Her eyes crease, amused. ]
Such little imagination. You're not very quick, are you?
[ Pointedly, she lowers her hand and encircles it around the other woman's wrist — the same one that's still lingering near the crease of her thigh. Here she thought she was gonna trick her into realizing the implication she was laying down: that if she showed her a good time, made her feel good for bit, then she'd pass off the chips without complaint. Nonetheless, she doesn't have an interest in pushing someone further than they're actually willing, not in a matter like this. She pulls up on her wrist to put distance between her touch and her skin, almost chastising. Just like that, her voice loses some of the sultry silkiness it had had before, wading back into 'explaining something that's obvious' energy. It at least cuts some of the sexual tension that was starting to build, seeming unaffected in the face of her defiance. ]
I'll tell you this right now: you're not going to get very far in this place with an attitude like that. I was throwing you a bone, there, silly girl. You're supposed to pick it up.
[ Red can be a bit dense, it's true. Also stubborn. When she has something in her head, it's hard to get it out - for better or for worse. She frowns at her, eyes narrowing a little as she seems to bristle a bit at being talked down to. Or what feels like being talked down to, anyway. ]
Quick enough.
[ She leans back and lifts her other hand to give her shoulder a shove, urging her right off of Red's lap. ]
I don't want your bones. [ Alas, she really is going to have to adjust to this place. ]
