【 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. 】
BEAK
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.
[ did... this boy really not know. is ishmael really the only person who understood the assignment. is she the only one who read the freakin' pamphlets around here COME ON NOW
she tries oh so hard not to let that get to her though, but her brows pinch anyway. how does he even explain this to a high-schooler. when was the last time she got to talk to a kid, anyway? there was crayon in the outskirts -- and the fact that there are kids in the outskirts is already a huge feat in and of itself -- but she still feels kind of awkward about it anyway. ]
You don't know yet? Game 52. [ ... ] Please tell me I don't have to give you the birds and the bees talk.
[ His ass is NOT listening to or reading the info from his watch. ]
What about it?
[ And -- there goes her entire drink. Whoa. Minato, on the other hand, is only halfway through his glass. He'll take another sip of the kombucha though, and because the aftertaste's not so strong anymore, he'll take one more.
He does remember a little bit about the explanation. There'd been something about Game 52 being the key to leaving the resort or earning chips, but he'd tuned out any additional information at that point. ]
...I already know about the birds and the bees.
[ And with a completely straight look on his face: ]
Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't know I was dealing with a big boy here. I meant sex, obviously. Does it matter that much to you if I sugarcoated it for you or not? And if that's the case, that means you already know how the game works, right?
[ yeah, sorry, you just turned on her hater mode, minato. doesn't matter how old you are so long as ishmael gets to dole it out on somebody. ]
[ It doesn't matter to him either way, but wouldn't it be easier for her to just be frank? He doesn't flinch at her sudden shift in tone either, only takes another sip of his kombucha with a thoughtful expression.
Did he know how the game worked? ]
Oh.
[ So that's what it was... ]
Is that how we make it to 52?
[ Ohhhh...... Well, in that case, don't mind him being completely unbothered by that information... ]
[ sorry, she leaves no survivors when it comes to her being a hater. just because she went through significant character development back home does not mean she's going to slack off when it comes to hating -- not that she truly hates minato at the moment. he's just being inattentive, which is normal for most guys, she supposes.
sighs. ]
Mhm. Fuck enough people, and you'll have your wish granted. But I don't think a lot of people here believe that. It's also probably the only way you can check out of here, so...
[ another shrug. ]
Just hope that the House doesn't check you in the first place, I suppose. This place can get real pushy when it comes to convincing people to start fucking like rabbits. Not everyone's going to be comfortable with the idea, obviously.
[ It does sound pretty farfetched. Anyone who believed such a proposition would surely get laughed at. The latter, on the other hand, sounds a little more credible. ]
Then... no one's left this place without finishing Game 52?
[ Fifty-two, huh. That sure is a lot of people. Minato glances into his nearly-empty glass of kombucha. Slowly but surely all the information he'd gathered thus far begins to assemble a more complete picture. For instance, he latches onto what the woman says about this place being "pushy" to convince people to start fucking.
...what was it that one in the barracks guy said? ]
[ a shrug. that, she cannot answer. she hasn't talked to that many people yet, not even the npcs who'd turn up their snooty noses at her low-ranked ass anyway. she don't gaf about them.
when he mentioned suits, however, something shifts in her gaze as she lifts her hand up, letting the sleeve roll down to her elbow on its own and reveal a ornate-looking irezumi tattoo with a clover pattern that stops just short of her wrists. if his eyes are sharp enough, he could see that her other arm is also decorated with the same tattoo. ]
If your suit flares up, you'll be bombarded with certain effects. Those effects depend on the kind of suit they assigned you with. Mine kind of fucks with my head every now and then.
[ sometimes you hear your beloathed captain gaslighting you during sex, it's fine ]
But so long as you consistently find partners to do it with, you should be fine. Like I said, the House has its ways to make you do their bidding, and there's nothing you can do about it.
[ Minato's too distracted to notice the other arm decorated with the same tattoo, attention wholly focused on the one he's being shown. There's a clover pattern painted down her forearm -- ah. A clover. Clubs -- a suit. ]
...
[ A suit that messed with one's head? That sounds equal parts inconvenient and frightening for someone who preferred to retreat into their own mind. Terrible. But so long as a person consistently engaged in sex, it seems those effects could be controlled.
Here, they'd be punished in all sorts of ways should they refuse to cooperate with the House. ]
That's good to know.
[ Minato lifts the glass to his lips to drain the rest of his kombucha. Only when it's empty does he set it back down. Have enough sex to keep the demons at bay: that information doesn't appear to bother him. ]
There's a lot to cover, actually. Like how they'd assign you a rank at random and that determines your class status here. If you've got a high rank, great! Everything else caters to you. But a low one will net you one of the shittier accommodations here, and most of the staff here will just ignore you.
[ she would know, judging from that long-suffering sigh she let out just now. ]
Just hope that you'll be luckier than I am. Trust me.
[ Oh, that sigh speaks a million words... Even at the fuck resort, socioeconomic differences find a way. ]
A random rank...
[ Perhaps others would speak up and argue that the process didn't seem very fair. Minato, on the other hand, seems to take it in stride. A random rank that determines how well one can live at the Golden Peacock, why not? ]
...is it really that bad?
[ It's a sincere question, followed by an innocent frown. He's never been the sort to be bothered by the lack of creature comforts, but damn, that sigh sure was something. ]
[ she leans back on her seat for this, face pulled in a thoughtful frown. ]
It's not as bad as I'm making it out to be, but only because I'm used to being treated as such. If you don't mind laying low even by essential staff or having a crappy bed to sleep in during your stay here, it should be fine. [ a shrug. ] It really helps that you make some connections here. People with higher ranks would even let you sleep over at their place out of the goodness of their hearts.
[ but her dry delivery is telling that she don't trust like that completely, though. ]
[ Well damn. That sucks. Not the part about getting ignored by essential staff or having a crappy bed to sleep in, but hearing that this person was actually used to being treated that way? That's rough.
The dry delivery of her comment doesn't seem to bother Minato either. In fact... ]
...I don't know if I could do that.
[ It's not necessarily that he doesn't trust like that though. Had Ishmael known Minato a little better, she might even think he trusted a little too easily.
Troubling others with his presence though? Unacceptable. ]
[ ah. this is going to be awkward, so of course it is up to ishmael to break it to him. she lets out another long-suffering sigh, sinking lower in her seat. ]
Everyone here arrived with nothing. They confiscated our weaponry and clothes as incentive to keep playing that game. But they will give you a rank and a suit, which other people will need in their deck, and the only way to get each other's cards is to fuck.
[ she turns to look at him again, her expression stony. ]
Do you get it? You have to keep having sex here. I know you're trying your best to be nonchalant here, but hopefully it's finally sunk into your head now.
The most valuable thing you can give someone is sex.
[ Minato's gaze lowers as he slips back into thought. Truly, it seems this place has dotted every i and crossed every t to make sure all of its guests obeyed its first and foremost rule of engaging in sex.
That... certainly makes things a little less complicated. Doesn't matter that he showed up with none of his belongings and not a penny to his name. Even after being denied one's possessions, the physical body continues to persist. ]
