【 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.
[ Well, that's an easy enough explanation. He's been interested in these games since he spotted them and wanted to play but, well, he was kind of exhausted so. He napped. Found his second wind. And now he's back to it!
He'll pick up the set of dice on the table in front of them, inspecting the multiple sides and reading the words silently to himself as he goes. Okay, yeah, he can see how this could be embarrassing. ]
... Alright. Then, do you want to play? I won't force you, you seem a bit, er, uncomfortable.
[ Or exasperated? Just — not enthused about it and he supposes if you've been here for a while, that's the type of reaction you might get. ]
[ Despite her reaction to these games in general, his words actually bring a bit of a wry smile to Mitsuru's lips. Nice of him really, to offer to just chat with her. Honestly, being a Queen of Hearts she's grown far more used to having an entourage willing to throw themselves at her at merely the potential of having her pay them the kind of attention that is on these dice...
Except many of them probably want "walk all over" added as an option... Yeah, she still doesn't get that one. ]
Thank you. However, you are definitely new around here if you believe anyone in this place can just converse for very long.
...You did just get here, didn't you? I don't believe I've seen you around before.
[ There's a laugh there because he kind of knows what she means. He's been here for just a few days but the atmosphere is definitely... something. Yeah, he's picking up the vibes that this place is putting down. ]
I am new, yeah. I don't even have a card suit yet, still a wildcard. But I'm enjoying myself so far. More 'cause I haven't seen anything like this place before, I think.
[ He's enjoying it? She feels inclined to say that she'd like to revisit that statement in a few weeks time to see if he still fills that way but honestly, the read she's currently getting on him thus far is that he seems rather unflappable in that way...
Not a good prospect for an opponent she wants to beat but hey, this won't be the most potentially embarrassing thing she's been put through in the year plus that she's been here. ]
Mitsuru Kirijo. [ By way of introduction and she might regret being courteous in short order but... ]
As you're the new one here then, why don't you roll first?
rolls back in even later 🥹

We could always just talk.

Wei Wuxian.
[ But right, the roll! ]
Alright, thank you very much. I'll give it a roll.
[ And he does, landing on eight and a six. Hm, that's — ]
Pinch elbow? [ He bursts into laughter then, bright and cheery. ] Alright, alright. I can do that, easily! May I have your elbow, Kirijo-xiaojie?
