【 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's something about what he says that only makes her frown deepen.
"One o' those creeps"
Does he mean the game as a whole? Or himself? If it's him, she certainly doesn't want him talking about himself that way. ]
Reno—
[ He grins, though, shrugs, and it seems the moment is over, hidden between the rules of their usual interactions. It's all she can do to try not to feel concerned, allowing a smile to find her face in answer; she does, though, reach out and link an arm with his, drawing herself in nearer to his side. ]
I promise I will. [ She doesn't even insist on it going both ways, despite her wish to do exactly that. He's gonna be stuck in his ways for a while, she thinks, she can work on it with him later— ] Thank you, Reno.
[He has no idea - despite constant surveillance - just how experienced Aerith is, and part of him - again, the one that puts her on that pedestal of being something, someone special - doesn't want to know. And doesn't want to think about what will be going on with her in this place. Fuck, Reno feels like he's about to have the time of his life here, but this doesn't feel right. Aerith's too good to get corrupted by this, and if that last bit of light would to dim as well ... He doesn't want to be someone who stains that kind of beauty.
Fuck, what is he even thinking?! Thankfully it's just a fleeting moment, and his mask is back in place as quickly as it might've slipped just there, and he puts his hand on her arm as she hooks herself in.]
Don't mention it. So, watcha wanna do? Wanna grab a drink, or see what else this place got to offer?
[ She sees it—doesn't know what it is, no, but watches it play out over Reno's face for that split second: something troubled, something dark and worried. It makes her want to reach out again, to try and get past that mask he's so good at wearing; for now at least though she decides to accept it, to respect the distance he's put between them, even here.
There's time enough to figure it out, after all.
And so she smiles as he asks his question, hums in curiosity. It's true that she'd like to see more of what the place has for them, so... ]
Why don't we do both? Get a drink, and take a walk around while we enjoy it?
[He grins, clearly back to being his old cocky self that he presents to the world. Not like it's a lie, but there are simply things that he doesn't like to present to everyone as readily as the confidence he clearly has in spades.
He pulls Aerith close, like a box taking his girl to prom as he guides their way back to the bar, giving her and almost charming smile.]
So what's it gonna be for the lady? I'll pay. I just landed the big money prize after all.
