【 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 is a groan here, equal parts exasperated and distressed as he's poked with the fork. Again. And again. And again! God damnit. His eyes snap open when the fork is about to come in for another go and he rolls out of the way quickly, leaning up on his elbows and shooting a glare at Seimei. ]
I'm not dead!
[ Would be ironic if he was though. ]
Surely you can tell the difference between a napping person and a corpse, right?
[ He makes a surprised noise when his target rolls out of range. Not so much because he believed the man was actually dead, but because he wasn't expecting that clever dodge. Seimei sits back on his heels, meeting the glare with a bright smile as he waves the fork toward Wei Wuxian. ]
Well, you can never be sure. That's what testing is for, right? A corpse wouldn't normally respond if you poked them.
[ Behold, his expert logic! ]
Were you planning on sleeping here? It's not very comfortable looking. What if you got kicked or stepped on?
[ Pardon him, he just got JABBED with a FORK and is a little salty about it. He rubs at his side, pout on his face as he narrows his eyes suspiciously at Seimei. Don't smile at him, you punk. You're the one who jabbed him!
He shifts to sit up then, cross-legged and looks back at Seimei as he's asked about his sleeping plans. Wei Wuxian shrugs, not really having thought through it too much. ]
Well, it's not like there's many other places available, is there? Since they won't let us out of the party. At least it's quiet and dark under here.
[ Seimei, for his part, looks completely calm and as innocent as a man can appear after his crimes are completely exposed. Apparently that is pretty innocent, because he shamelessly bats his eyes despite Wei Wuxian clearly having none of it. If he persists, eventually the guy will give in to him, right? ]
Ah, that's true, but surely there are more comfortable places than the floor? Since they've shut us in, they must expect us to spend a long time together. Maybe we can work together and find a real bed?
[ He can't resist being a little cheeky, especially when he's getting a reaction. ]
Or, if you need something from the the tables, I can bring it here to you. You'll need better protection, but we can reenforce your hideaway into a real secret den.
[ The bright side is Wei Wuxian doesn't really carry anger too long, it disappears pretty quickly and he goes back to his usual carefree self. Which is happening right now, since the jabbing wasn't too bad in the first place and there's more interesting things to do than pout. ]
A real bed, huh?
[ Hmm, tempting. And then Seimei suggests reinforcing the space under the table and that just makes Wei Wuxian laugh. ]
No need to go that far. I'm fine with searching for a bed together instead. I've already gotten enough shut eye, I think I'm ready to bounce back anyway.
[ So, he's going to shift to crawl out from under the table, crawling in Seimei's direction so he can pop out over there and get to his feet! ]
