【 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.
[ He wonders if he should even tell her about it, because the answer is teleporting. Even if he can't read her mind, he figures explaining even the basics to someone who is so preoccupied to find something isn't the type of person who'd want to hear it.
Troy can only watch her as she slips into the car, rummaging through the compartments like a mad woman. Rubbing the back of his neck and feeling a brow lift, he stands there uncertain of what else to do but ask a simple question: ]
What is it you're even looking for? Maybe I can help?
My headband. It's made out of rope. Two white ribbons on each side.
[ it sounds cute when she describes it like that, but it's not like she's embarrassed by it anyway. there are more important things to focus on than what other people think about her.
she pulls her head out of the car and goes around to the trunk. ]
Go open this one, please. I'm serious when I say I'll be checking every car in this vicinity.
[ A headband? Troy feels his brows crumple and rise. Luckily, he isn't a judgemental person, so whatever this headband is, Troy doesn't wonder why it would be so important to this stranger. So he just complies, pushing the button on the driver's seat door to pop the trunk open. ]
See anything?
[ He's actually curious if there's anything in the trunk space of these cars. He's not holding his hopes up. ]
Since I feel like I can't stop you. Mind if I ask why you're so adamant in finding this headband?
[ curt and no-nonsense, just like that. sorry, but she's not really here for small talk, not when a very importantly memento of hers is missing. she scours the trunk for anything that resembles rope of ribbons but comes up with nothing.
sighs. ]
Nothing. I'll have to go check the other car. [ she turns to the man abruptly. ] You can go on ahead. I'm going to be here for a long while.
[ Curt and no-nonsense happens to be one of the norms for him and his companions, so Troy thought nothing of her attitude. He shrugs, showing his raised palms. ]
Hey, I said I'll help and I mean that.
[ Even if she doesn't want to make conversation, that doesn't mean he can't be useful to her, he thought. ]
'sides, I think it's better if I do the knocking?
[ Well he's stubborn, but at least he's lessening the burden by being the one knocking on car doors for her. He figures it's better to have the more friendly face to be the one to do that. He didn't wait for her permission and just walks to the next car to knock on the window to go talk to the people inside.
"Hey, how you doin'?" he says to the people inside after the window cracks open a little. Troy looks to Ishmael with an uncertain expression. ]
