【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.
It has recently come to our attention that many of our guests have not been focusing on their health and wellness. In an effort to encourage healthy living and help our beloved guests get in shape, a grand sports festival will be held in the Golden Peacock. This sports festival will include many small games and four large games.
Prior to the festival, guests will have the opportunity to train and prepare for the games with our expert coaches.
We hope you are as excited as we are! And, as always, we hope you enjoy your stay. 】

MEET THE TEAM
♦ DIAMONDS GAME ♦
OMEGADOME: HUNTING GAME
A cheerful pair of game managers stand outside the conservatory doors and block all guests that try to enter. They quickly explain that a special Diamonds game is taking place inside and only guests that agree to participate may enter. This game is a physical exercise that riffs on "Hunting", which is a popular sport in many different countries and civilizations. Of course, it is one hundred percent safe, and all guests that play are eligible to win massive chip prizes, store vouchers, fabulous prizes, and more.
Details about the game? Those can't be shared outside of the conservatory. Only the brave and those willing to risks will reap the benefits of this Diamonds game. So step right up, dear guests, and sign this waiver before stepping into the flourishing beauty of the conservatory for a brand new adventure.
♥ HEARTS GAME ♥
DOUBLES' THERMO: SURVIVAL GAME
Chickadees is sparing no expense on advertising their e-sport games over the course of the sports festival. Posters, notifications, stickers, fliers! Come one, come all. Sports don't need to be physical. Guests that duck into the arcade will find a variety of e-sport games to enjoy, but the real showstopper that every single employee is aggressively promoting is the new immersive VR game, DOUBLES' THERMO.
A large swath of egg-shaped pods have been installed in the back half of Chickadees. Any guest that shows an iota of interest will be assaulted by employees encouraging them to give it a try. They will offer vouchers for a free session, encourage with mentions of prizes that can be won from the arcade's coveted prize wall, and persuade by praising how high tech and immersive the experience is. Some employees are desperate enough to trick or push guests into the pods if they aren't willing to go in themselves.
However they've ended up inside the VR egg, guests will find themselves submerged in strange fluid as the lid closes. Everything fades away into darkness as the game loads...
♣ CLUBS GAME ♣
QUACK AND COVER: SHOOTING GAME
Cloaca & Dagger has temporarily outfitted itself as a neon-bright paintball course. Gone are the wild sex setups in exchange for series of obstacles and obstructions for guests to navigate while in pursuit of paintball championship. This high intensity game of strategy and physical fitness promises to exhilarate! Welcome to Quack and Cover, a game where your shooting skills and ingenuity will be put to the test.
So say the game managers at the door before following up with a few disclaimers. Cloaca & Dagger is not responsible for any physical or psychological trauma guests may incur while inside. Guests that join the game will then be outfitted in tight black underarmor and supplied with a paintball gun and protective mask before being let loose on the course.
♠ SPADES GAME ♠
PECKING ORDER: MMA GAME
During night hours, many long-standing guests make their way through Talon toward the gym’s creaky basement stairs. Three floors down and then through a desolate hallway with littered with abandoned equipment. Double doors wait at the end, unassuming until they’ve been opened…
Flashing lights, jeers, and the thick odor of sweat. You’ve found the Pecking Order, a late-night mixed martial arts event where guests show their prowess in the ring. Spectating guests shout and messily eat snacks on make-shift bleachers while fighters clash inches away, using only their bodies to fight for dominance and win. Pecking Order is very informal; guests only need to sign up in order to get added to the docket. Anyone can watch, though they will be vaguely warned at the door that even spectating comes with risks.
LOCKER ROOMS
YOU WASH MY BACK, I'LL WASH YOURS
Every training and game location has a door labeled LOCKER ROOM right outside the entrance. These doors all connect to the same massive locker room. The magic of these locker room doors goes one way. Trying to go back to the place you just were by backtracking will not work — you’ll just end up in Beak! All guests will be advised to finish their games before hitting the showers.
The Golden Peacock is proud to present our upgraded and extended locker room. Please come in and enjoy the facilities, catch-up with your teammates, and enjoy some healthy drinks provided by our favorite resort convenience store, Cock-a-doodle-doo’s!
▶ 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 March 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.
▶ 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.
[catches it, he is an actual athlete and he does have clever fingers what with all the stealing he has done in his past. Indeed his meager lunch was supplemented by a series of snuck snacks. Those simply weren't enough to sate his black hole of a stomach]
I. I missed a buffet?????????????
[DEVASTATING NEWS
DAY RUINED
LIFE RUINED
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO HIM, A WONDERFUL BOY????]
That's right, you really missed out. [ He'd have to be blind and deaf not to see how the mere suggestion that Ruggie's lost out on free food lands like a bomb, setting him off into a panic. In typical demonic fashion, when faced with someone's weaknesses he doesn't hesitate to twist the knife even further. ]
As I recall, it was a delicious spread, with everything from heaps of streak and plates overflowing with all manner of seafood to the most decadent of desserts. [ As he prattles on, pale wings shake their delicate feathers out to shed some of the water Ruggie had so kindly shared from his jacuzzi soak. ]
Naturally, it was an all-you-can-eat affair without rules on portion control, so more than a few guests even managed to sneak things back to their rooms to savor for days afterward. [ He can only imagine this must be torture for someone living off tasteless goop composed of nutrients and minerals. ]
Seriously? [ Out of everything Ruggie's done so far, that comment is the one thing that practically leaves him speechless. Well, almost. ]
Missing a banquet is the most dreadful thing that's ever happened to you? [ Asks the demon from Hell, who cannot even fathom what a charmed life someone would have to lead, to call a lost lunch "The worst thing ever." ]
[ At this point, despite all the water-slinging and jacuzzi-destroying, Ruggie hasn't actually done anything to land himself in the dangerous zone of J's shit list. Riiiight up until he calls the archduke of Hell, petty and vain to the nines, "Big Man."
The smile plastered across his face as J moves to stand doesn't seem to read as friendly. ]
Hmm, I must have misheard you just now. [ If Ruggie doesn't move faster than J's arm does as it reaches out towards the top of his head, then the demon is sure to catch one of Ruggie's fluffy ears in a pinch between long fingers. Those are some cute little ears you've got, Ruggie. It'd be a shame if you lost them. ]
Because that is not my name. [ If he's got that ear in his grip, he's sure to give a few slight tugs on it to get his point across. ]
Call me J, not whatever egregious nickname that's popped into your head on the fly.
[ Stop referring to him by something so uncouth as "Big Man" and he might treat you with a modicum of respect. Probably. Depending on his mood. Okay, so there's a non-zero chance of it at least. ]
I don't think I will. [ Unfortunately for Ruggie, showing off his pearly whites only gets J more interested in antagonizing him. ]
Not until you manage to stop wailing and say my name properly, so I can be sure there's no confusion. [ Since tormenting one ear apparently isn't enough to motivate Ruggie, J moves to assault both with rubs and tugs, enjoying the other man's frustration. It's almost cute. ]
[ Pestering Ruggie to the point of aggravation twists J's mouth into a grin of delight that crinkles the corners of pale eyes. It's the same joy as teasing a small pet, dangling a toy or small bit of thread within reach before yanking it away at the last moment. ]
If you're going to be formal about it, the proper way to address an archduke of Hell by anything but their initial would be Your Grace. [ ( As if that's remotely what Ruggie is trying to do with his snide retort. ) Regardless, initials were always preferred by those who held them, as saying a demon's name further solidified their continued existence. ]
But that'll work, too. [ Releasing those wonderfully soft ears, J directs his bullying to Ruggie's left cheek. The demon gives a gentle but undeniably condescending pat to the beastman's face, similar to the sort given when placating small children. ]
Now, then. What are you going to do about the mess you've made? [ There's a sweep of one hand toward the disaster that's befallen the now fur-caked jacuzzi. Meanwhile, J's tail loops around his stack of crisp, freshly laundered towels. They settle into empty arms that have finally stopped manhandling some portion of the other man, indicating he has absolutely no intention of helping with the cleanup. ]
I ain't gettin' paid to clean up and if they ain't want shedding then don't kidnap me durin' my shedding period. There were so many other times they coulda snagged me. The people in charge can deal with it unless m'getting paid.
[ There's plenty to unpack here, but the last bit sounds to be the most advantageous factoid when it could potentially benefit the demon. ]
What you're saying is you are motivated to work, provided there's a payout involved, yes?
[ What a pleasant turn of events. J is sorely lacking in, well, lackeys at the resort, and the type driven by monetary gains are easier to control than those doing it for less tangible rewards. Beyond the select few in Hell who had proven themselves to be exceptions to the rule, loyalty generally tends to be a fleeting notion. ]
True enough. At least for those who'd rather not scrape by, living off nutritional packets and handouts. [ J drops a friendly reminder of the dreaded alternatives, bound to make a glutton like Ruggie cringe. ]
You know, this reminds me that I've been looking for someone to lend me a hand with a few things. [ Like he's not orchestrated this very conversation into being. ]
Naturally, they would be well rewarded with the chips this place uses as currency. [ J lifts the wrist brandishing his watch, a well-mannicured finger rising to tap at the glass surface to explain where the payments would be sent. ]
Jobs, plural. And before your mind slips into the gutter— [ His impish smile deepens as J reaches to drape one of his towels around Ruggie's soaking-wet shoulders still dripping with water as he leans in a tad closer. It's the demon's way of rewarding his fellow guest for being open to the offer. ] They're not the type that'll earn you any cards.
[ It's a relief to see Ruggie has enough sense to avoid blindly agreeing to a blanket offer. Still, J senses that skirts into concern that this isn't going to be a fair bargain. It wouldn't be, under normal circumstances. Not without a binding demonic contract. But since that's not possible here and paid employees tend to return more often than those cheated, he doesn't plan on withholding what's promised. ]
Don't worry. It's nothing backbreaking, either. [ J gives a lazy shrug to emphasize how little effort lies behind the tasks the demon is entrusting him with. ]
I won't put you through anything more strenuous than some social engagements and running errands for me every so often.
I'll accept on a case by case then. Ain't like I won't be lookin' for multiple people t'work for after all. But when ya gotta job, I'll see if it's to my likin' and capabilities. Errands, cookin', and cleanin' are my most usual. Wakeup calls and groomin' ain't unheard of for the remarkably lazy.
An impressive resume. [ Though he does want to laugh at that quip about those deemed "remarkably lazy." Ruggie, isn't that a touch too close to the pot calling the kettle black? ]
It may not be unheard of for you to be asked to take a little off the top for some, but are you any good at it? I don't let just anyone come at me with a pair of scissors.
