【 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.
[That judgment isn't wrong. Sunday inspects the rack of clothing from the other side, his eyes following the moth's path of flight — and though he's good at schooling his expression, there's a tightness around his mouth. Almost humor. Almost a smile.
After selecting his own outfit from the available options — the least ruffled and gaudy he can find, a black bowtie suit — he turns his back as well and begins changing. He opens his robe and shivers at a cold draft of air, recognizing how much worse this would be if he was still wet.]
I suppose of anyone else I could have woken up in a strange new world with, I'm glad it was such agreeable company.
[He can be self-reflective, and in the past, he can't say that he would have felt agreeable amongst so many unknowns. Mr. Neuvillette is naturally calm; that does seem to help.]
( the comment catches him halfway through buttoning up a striped shirt over his chest, fingers pausing for half a moment as his eyes flick to the left. of all the various descriptors both people and publications have used to refer to him in the past, he can't say he's ever heard that one with alarming frequency. or at all, really. )
I am not usually described as such.
( reserved, aloof, impartial, impersonal, unfeeling, on the other hand....but he is grateful for sunday's even temperament in the face of these unique circumstances, and the steadiness of both his tone and bearing. )
In that case, I must also thank you for being equally agreeable company.
( it could be much worse. it could be furina here with him, voice loud and screeching as she oscillates between panic and dramatic indignation. )
Do you typically find yourself waking in strange vehicles with strange company, Mr. Sunday?
[Please, Neuvillette is far more agreeable than so many of the Family representatives he's had to deal with. Though they dedicate themselves to the Harmony, it does not lend itself to seamless collaboration in practice. A common cause can't always unite the differences of personality, but Sunday understood — at least back then — that each of them was necessary in order to work toward a common goal.
Here, there's almost a kind of freedom in being able to choose his own company.]
Then we have that in common. [Stuffy, awkward, proper bureaucrats that they are...] And no, not usually. I had — ah, certain standing that would have made it difficult to encounter such unusual situations. My days were quite regimented.
[Local control freak in recovery at your service. He laughs, more at himself, pulling on the starchy white shirt and buttoning it up with nimble fingers.]
I had a feeling something like this might happen eventually. Not so specific, but... equally out of the ordinary. I left my previous position, you see. What about yourself, Mr. Neuvillette?
