【 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.
[ just the idea of choosing only one person feels like a betrayal of the others.. and makes his heart ache. this consternation plays clearly across his features, however stiff he might seem about it. this all but physically pains him. ]
I suppose I can narrow it down to my fellow crewmates, though there are many others I am close with, as well.
[ people who are important to him, or who have become important to him. ]
[ Wei Wuxian can see the pain on Dan Heng's expression as he tries to answer and he feels for him, he does. If this was years ago for him, he'd probably be stuck in a similar boat. But as it is, his list has shifted over time and these days, he's alone aside from just one person.
But still, it feels cheap to win in this way and Wei Wuxian doesn't know what to do. His expression goes a little blank for a moment before —
Suddenly, he strikes out, knocking the house of cards over completely and watching as it falls apart on the table. On his watch flashes the word LOSER and on Dan Heng's, WINNER with a large sum of chips being transferred to him as a result. ]
Ha... ha ha! Clumsy me, looks like I lost. Sucks for me, I guess.
[ dan heng starts at the sudden movement, watching as the house of cards collapses like a disturbed souffle - and just like that, the game is over, and dan heng is the recipient of many chips. ]
I -
[ he begins, then pauses. it's quite clear what wei wuxian has done, and dan heng can't help but to feel a little grateful, even though he can't help the little thorn of guilt that comes along with it. this man sacrificed a good amount of currency, just so dan heng didn't have to suffer and stutter through an impossible answer - something very kind to do for someone who is ultimately a complete stranger.
his gaze flits briefly down, apologetic, then lifts again. he won't thank wei wuxian out loud, won't draw attention to his ploy, lest it embarrass him, but there gratitude in dan heng's eyes is unmistakable. ]
I see. Well, in that case, perhaps we can find something to eat and continue our conversation.
[ Wei Wuxian doesn't need attention brought to his actions, doesn't mind it at all. He feels satisfied in what he did, like it was the right thing to do, and that's the only assurance he needs. Instead, he sits back and grins brightly, eyes crinkling somewhat at the corners with the wideness of his smile. ]
That sounds like a great idea to me. There's all kinds of food here — and a buffet! Let's go grab something to eat.
[ He'll push up then from the seat he's on and bounce a little on his feet as he waits for Dan Heng to get up as well. Then, off they go! Time for food! ]
