【 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.
[ But something about how this kid says that gives Wade reason to pause. He glances at him again, his brown eyes fixing on the opaque, red lenses of his glasses for a moment like it's tugging at him. He frowns, then squints more carefully at him. ]
No fucking way.
[ There's no way. Wade squares his shoulders to scrutinize him, realizing more and more that this kid really does resemble one of the most iconic of X-Men. ]
What do they call you, kid?
[ Don't be Scott, don't be Scott, don't be fucking Scott Summers -- ]
I just watched you instantly heal from several injuries because of your mutation. So, yeah.
[Scott immediately counters, but that argument dissolves rather quickly as he notices the look Wade's giving him-- a look that's all too familiar to him. Any further sass he was about to give the older mutant fades, placed on hold, because he's dealt with the 'I know you' face. It's happened at least 4 times by now and it's been frustrating along with a mix of other emotions, but this is the first time it's happened with another mutant.
He's not sure what that entails. Maybe it means a little more though.
Either way, Scott swallows, his jaw clenching as he straightens himself up just a little more, like he's prepared to face whatever reaction Wade may have towards him. Hopefully he won't get punched, that'd definitely beat out the time Nami slapped him.]
I'm Scott. [He says, calmly, and maybe a little too seriously, while confirming Wade's worst fears--] Scott Summers.
[ No no no no. No. He's not in weird, sexy Casino Royale with this particular X-Man before he was one! No fucking way! A flicker of dismay crosses his scarred face before he pinches his bottom lip under his teeth and a hiss escapes past it. ]
Ffffffffff --
[ The hissing sound behind his teeth grow louder, more intense as his hands lift as if to clutch his bald head, but he realizes almost too late that they're still grimed over with whatever sauces and other fluids he's got all over himself and swerves it just in time. But then he erupts with a very loud: ]
FUCK!!
[ Queue a whiny sound through his nose as he tries to turn in place, unsure if he should just walk away or confront... whatever the fuck is going on right now. ]
You've got to be fucking kidding me! You? You're Scott Summers. Cable's dad?!
[ Could this possibly get any messier? Probably! Is Magneto and Quicksilver around? Maybe any of the iterations of Jean? Anyway, Wade gives his head a shake and pokes the other (diminutive) mutant right in the collarbone. ]
You hardly old enough to get fuzz on your nethers, let alone know your own destiny.
Sure, he's not getting punched, but it's clear to Scott that Wade isn't happy to see him and. It sucks. It stings in a way he can't describe, but he does his best to shove that feeling down and ignore it. At least his sunglasses are doing a good job with hiding his expression and everything. It's tempting to just turn and walk away, but he decides to stay still, if just to address whatever went on between them. Like did they have really bad sex or--
Cable's dad?
WHAT??????
So, there's no hiding all of his reactions, because that word's immediately blurted out from the teenager, Scott gaping at Wade as he tries to wrap his mind around what he just said. He. He's no one's dad!! Well, obviously this about his future self, maybe. But. This is still a lot to go through!!]
My destiny-- you're the one that blurted out that I have a kid out of nowhere! [Scott responds, voice a little higher than normal.]
