【 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.
[ Weiss and Ragna could see one another, but while the spell was active, signs of life were blocked off from ordinary people. However, it came with a weird side-effect. You couldn't see yourself in a mirror. And Weiss just so happened to be clinging to one of the biggest chickens in the resort when it came to the supernatural/ghoulish. But he immediately realizes he just nearly screamed and belted that out. Which explains his voice dying off and his cheeks flustering as it dawns on him what happened. ]
Oh right...this spell...
[ With a hush, he looks over his shoulder to Weiss, uncaring if he finds himself nuzzling against her face to apologize. ]
[ She hears and feels the way he tenses, the way the faucet somehow seems louder, but she imagines that he's just in a hurry to get out of here. He cuts himself off before he could properly tell her what's wrong with whispering in his ear because he doesn't see his reflection in the mirror, and that alerts Weiss to do something about it.
No one's around, so she opens her eyes, squeezing Ragna just a little bit tighter to let him know that she's around. ]
Oh, wow. No reflection too, huh?
[ That's... kind of freaky, but knowing the reason behind it is enough to alleviate any concerns. Besides, whether or not Ragna's feeling fine now after apologising, she has to tell him that he didn't do anything wrong. ]
It's okay. [ She can't hold his hand like this, but she can rest her head on his shoulder. Now looking at him sideways as if she's tilting her head at him, she asks: ] Are you done?
[ It's the littler things. Something as simple as the way Weiss squeezes Ragna tighter. The angel on his shoulder guiding him and telling him everything was alright. ...Or in this case, shoulders. ]
Oh hey you peeked after all.
[ At least they both knew why it was happening in the first place. It's when she rests her head on his shoulder, however, that she'd feel his body relax even further. If they weren't floating right now, he'd have sunk and leaned back against her in kind. It's her reassurance over something so small as a "my bad" that just reminds him of yet another reason why he wanted to be with her so badly in the first place.
He's still making good on letting her know she's the best thing that's ever happened to him. And that wasn't going to change for anything. She's close enough. He can tilt his head for her, stealing away a little kiss as he smiles against her lips. Sweet as ever... ]
Yup. We can cruise on outta here and just find somewhere to relax.
[ Such as... ]
Wanna head up to that fancy lounge? Lucky you and me, we're both high ranking now.
[ Don't point out that she peeked, Ragna!! This is truly improper and she HATES EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT. ]
Only because of you.
[ >:T So... there! She would not have peeked otherwise, but she was worried. Now he gets to hear her whine like the brat that she is for a second before she huffs through her nose and just lets it go. At least no one is around. ]
I did want to see what it's like there... Are you sure you don't want to go around and mingle with others anymore?
[ Yes, THAT? Nets her a rarer, more cheery smile despite their circumstances. He could keep teasing her. Get back to her for being a little brat to him and getting him worked up over some sweet whispering ASMR. But as they slowly float their way towards the exit of the bathroom, she asks if he's sure if he's done mingling or not. ]
Maybe if we chatted people up together... [ It's less separation anxiety and more the fact that he literally just found her at this party they're stuck at for a whole goddamn week(?) Honeymoon period is still on for a Wagna. ] We can hop right back to it whenever you wanna.
[ Making sure that Weiss was cinched and secured around his shoulders, he somehow manages to swim the two of them towards the roof of the bathroom. Not because he was worried about being seen, but because the last thing either of them needed was for the three partygoing NPCs to shove right through their invisible bodies. Sure enough, Weiss and Ragna are floating over the trio that start chatting it up about the mysterious vanishing act of Ragna the Bloodedge and Weiss Schnee. They'd just come in to relieve themselves and wash up too.
"I heard that Ragna the Bloodedge is supposed to be some kind of ghost/human hybrid that can disappear whenever he wants."
"Oh my god, bro. Are you HEARING yourself? How's a guy gonna be a ghost AND alive at the same time? He's obviously some kind of wizard." ]
The hell are they smoking? Ghost/human hybrid??
[ It's whispered just loud enough for Weiss' ears as he peers back at the exit. The same exit they were so close to. While the NPCs are distracted shooting the shit about Ragna and Weiss (and poor Dolores?), he attempts to push off the ceiling towards the exit. ]
Almost out......almost......almo!!
[ Suddenly, just out of the three NPCs' line of sight and at the open bathroom exit, gravity hits Ragna like a goddamn semi-truck. He's dropping like a rock. But rather than belt out loud a yelping curse, he tenses and attempts to brace himself, knowing full well that Weiss is on his back. At least this way he wasn't gonna do something stupid with less than a second to spare and hurt her...even if that meant Ragna... ]
Oof-!
[ ...eeended up hurting himself, unceremoniously crashing face down with a tiny Schnee in tow, safe and sound on his back. At least he didn't go smashing his nose into the axminster carpet, a strained groan escaping him before he pushes himself up on all fours. ]
Great freakin' timing... You okay, Weiss?
[ Asked like he wasn't the one who just took a rug faceplant now that the bubbly's worn off. ]
