【 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.
Yeah, I know that. That's why I'm gonna refine it first. [ Every demonic cultivator worth half their salt understands that they're working with forces that could fuck them over the moment their footing wavers, and the ones who are good at it don't survive long enough to get that way by treating it haphazardly. Xue Yang may be a delinquent, but he's not stupid enough to test these things out himself before he's confident in them. ] I'm not nearly as infamous as you are, Senior Wei. I can't trust that someone will think of my name first when they want someone to help with their revenge so bad they would die. I can figure out how to set this up, and it won't fail.
[ And he might wind up killing a person or twenty along the way, but that's such a small number, isn't it? ]
[ Wei Wuxian feels like he's made a terrible mistake here. He's not sure if he should try and convince Xue Yang of a different direction (doubtful he'll be able to) or if he should just let him do his thing and wash his hands of the venture. It's a little hard to figure out. Shit.
Then again he can't really do much here, can he? He's not sure. He's still figuring this place out and trying to understand the rules. Is demonic cultivation an easy hobby to have here? ]
Okay, yeah, well. I guess I'll leave you to it then. Can I have my arm back?
[ Demonic cultivation is a very easy hobby to have if you're focused on the ghost part and almost completely impossible if you're focused on the corpses part. Not that Xue Yang has tried to kill anyone or otherwise witnessed a near death to find out what happens in this place around that, but. There are ghosts. There were walking corpses, once. There's things to work with.
Xue Yang looks down at Wei Wuxian's arm, then back up at Wei Wuxian, his expression looking very much like someone thinking hard about a major decision. ]
If you stick around, Senior Wei, we'll definitely see each other again.
[ A promise, and a threat.
He squeezes the arm a little tighter for emphasis, then lets go. He's gotten a satisfactory amount to chew on from this conversation. ]
