【 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.
[ The way he relaxes instead of stiffens at her touch is definitely a good sign - and indicative of someone who's used to some level of decorum though now hardly seems the time to think about what that could mean. Naturally tactile by nature, this physical touch in some ways is comforting for her in a lot of ways too.
Because while she's been here long enough where she should be used to things being the way they are, the nerves will always demand to be felt one way or another. But what's the saying? Fake it til you make it?
She peers down at the number and up just in time to see the dealer reach beneath the table and hand a box over to them that she assumes contains the vibrator. With a free hand she takes it, more interested in her partner's reaction. And...so far so good? ]
[ For most people—people who can't see the future—a little nervousness when faced with the unknown is to be expected. Keita certainly can't fault Hilda for that, and indeed she does seem to be holding up well despite whatever apprehension she may feel about the game itself.
As she accepts the box, Keita gently guides them to take a step or two away from the table to allow another guest to take their turn. ]
Not often, [ he admits. ] But I understand the concept well enough.
[ Keita glances from the box up to meet Hilda's gaze, tilting his head slightly in a curious cant. It's a silent way of asking, Are you all right with this? ]
[ As he leads them away from the table she follows his lead without missing so much of a beat with the box tucked safely at her side. His answer doesn't necessarily provide her with utmost confidence and it's then that it crosses her mind to find a way to worm their way out of the situation should it look like Keita is uncomfortable with it.
Perhaps it's a foolish however since the House always seems to know - and it's right then that their watches chime in unison. A little egg wobbles on the screen with a timer counting down. Inadvertently her mouth pulls into the slightest frown. Talk about cheeky. There's no way to tell time but of course there would be a countdown to add pressure to the situation.
In spite of that when her gaze swivels back up towards Keita she meets his silent question with a reassuring smile. ]
Luckily some of the friends I spend a lot of time with here have shown me how to use them. Though there's no guarantee it'll be exactly like the ones we've used before it can't be that difficult.
[ And at that she adjusts her hold on him, slipping her fingers through his before leading them towards a more private corner of the casino - though that seems to be far and few between. As they slip between the crowd she casts a glance back towards him over her shoulder. ]
[ Even if Keita lacks practical experience with toys like these, he's certainly not uncomfortable with the idea. (Not least of all because a benefit of his clairvoyance is access to memories of learning how to use them in the future.) At Hilda's smile, Keita nods and then returns one of his own, a softening of his expression that indicates his willingness to play. ]
I'm sure we'll find ourselves quite capable, [ he says as they make their way hand-in-hand down a corridor in search of a more private space. As they pass by a handful of mostly-closed doors, Keita glances toward the rooms and then tugs at Hilda's hand to draw her back. ] In here—we should have some privacy, and more importantly a door with a lock.
[ They're very small bedrooms, perhaps used for a previous event—not decorated to the nines the way some of the other spaces are, but at least there's a bed, and when Keita turns the warm overhead lighting on the space is clean and well-kept.
Before closing the door, he turns back to Hilda as though to check that she's all right with his choice of accommodations. ]

Between the two of us we'll figure it out.
