【 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 can take a bit to adjust to, I can't even say that I know everything about cooking.
(which isn't a lie, learning to cook while she lived alone wasn't too hard. there were certain privileges that came from rank and status back then for a girl like texas, but she did see fit to adjust accordingly. truthfully she's also quite the escape artist in general, yet that's not the topic. sometimes conversation like this was better as a distraction for texas.
her dipping ashes into a nearby ashtray and letting the burn of the nicotine go down her throat aside, she did want to not completely rely on her worst habits. tries to, anyway. a pity that she still has yet to quit this one of many of her vices.)
I think the hard part is deciding where to start at. (independence is nice, even for someone like cellinia.) Since it can come with a lot of struggles in itself whenever you're not sure what to do after spending so long living one way. (but that's what she likes about living, people find their way eventually. if they don't, then it's also unfortunate. life is something she'd always gravitate towards in a desire to experience that among many.)
[ Mitsuru smiles at that, a little wryly admittedly. She's fiercely independent in so many ways but on others, particularly with regard to domestic matters... ]
I'm not sure this place has helped me to grow much in that regard. I was served back home and now I'm served here. Everything is prepared for me.
[ She had been made a queen rank the moment she'd arrived after all. Almost as if The House had known that is where she belonged and where she should stay. ]
Not that I'm ungrateful for the privileged position I've been given here compared to some others. [ She had seen where those with a lower rank had been placed and she didn't envy that. ] Just that it can be a tad... smothering at times.
[ The entourages were a lot. Especially when someone is begging you to stomp on them. ]
I think that's understandable, I had seven years to get used to doing things alone. There are some things I can do without, though. Like the opulence reminding me too much of people who tried showing off their wealth in every method they had.
(never mind the debauchery, or texas being someone that gets attention herself given her proximity to the face cards. part of why she entered the lounge is thanks to her friends who are royalty ranks, lying about them giving her access did wonders.
or not so much a lie, they likely would have had her as a plus one to their visitations at any time had she needed it.)
Or how suffocating the spotlight can feel again, I can agree with that. I'm not ungrateful, but it feels like it's too much on occasion. (given her own low rank friends (the ones in the basement that is or adjacent) texas has seen it herself.) ....and I guess me getting stared at by staff a lot also doesn't help.
(her ears and tail definitely do not help.)
so sorry this is so late! happy to move this to inboxes if you want to continue
Staring like that is exceptionally rude and not acceptable under any circumstances. Particular from staff are who are supposed to be professional.
[ But then when has the Peacock ever been run like a real resort by the "people" manning it? Her dubious expression says as much, but still, yes ears and a tail are unusual by most standards but hardly the oddest thing that's ever been sighted here of all places. ]
And speaking of rude... I realise I never gave you my name. My apologies, it's Mitsuru Kirijo. I am of Queen rank, not that it should matter but apparently it gives me some sort of sway around here if you are ever in need of assistance.
[ Or you know, someone to give the staff a piece of her mind. Because she's definitely good at that. ]
