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.
[As much as Loki typically likes to add magic to any fight, it hasn't been all that long since the last time he had to fight without it. Which is likely a good thing. Though usually he has some sort of weapon. Had even managed some of that when fighting with the Hunters just before he was pruned. He's finding this time he's actually enjoying just some straight, hand to hand combat though.
It reminds him a bit of sparing with Thor, which he thought might make him sad, but so far has been a happy memory.
After winning another fight, Loki raises his hands in the air in triumph, urging the crowd to cheer more, louder. It may not have been so long since he's been in a brawl, but it's been a very long time since he's had this kind of attention. His back is to his next opponent as he continues to work the crowd, but then he hears a familiar voice complaining about being thrown in the ring. Slowly, Loki turns with a frown on his face.]
Rinne? But you're...
[A statue in Reign's suit. Yeah, he's not about to say that. It's pretty clear that this must be a different Rinne, though Loki does have the sudden urge to go up to Reign's room and see if that statue is still there. Even if that might only confirm his suspicions.]
Well, it seems like this place really likes you, doesn't it.
[First, he knows his name. This isn't the first time here, so he's figured that he does have a version people know of here. One of them even said a statue, which he wonders-- did he turn into a statue at some point? Even the comment that follows has him wondering if this is also an unusual turn of events for them, when he himself doesn't recall turning to stone.]
Well, whaddya know. I hope that other guy's not been pickin' fights I wouldn't. Why spend my time with fisticuffs when I can just go to the nice casino down the hall?
[He starts, sighing dramatically while throwing a hand up with a loose shrug of his shoulders.]
[That reaction alone is enough for Loki to be convinced that this is not the Rinne he knew. It’s hardly his first time with a variant so as much as this never gets easy, he knows how to roll with the punches, as it were. He had really liked Rinne before even if he hadn’t know him as well as some others around here and even if this Rinne is completely different, Loki suspects he’ll have fun finding that out. Even if part of him wants to hug the guy more than fight him.
But that’s not the situation they find themselves in now and Loki figures he’ll be able to find out a few things in the ring at least. He’ll just have to try not to hurt him too badly. That wouldn’t be a good look either.]
I suppose that depends. What kind of fights do you normally pick? Though I have to wonder, if you’re so fond of the casino, why show up to a fight?
[Loki is well aware that not everyone that ends up in one of these fights because they signed up for it, but one of his best tactics has always been to annoying his opponent.]
[He wouldn't, at least not normally, unless they were friends, and even then Rinne likes keeping his cards close to his heart. Call him guarded or paranoid, but Rinne's had enough experience to know that not everyone can accept him as he is. He must have kept his guard up, right?]
I got lost down the halls and thought I'd get myself a drink. Didn't expect to turn out as the entertainment. I'm better with a mic in hand.
Even if he had, doesn’t mean you have the same experiences.
[Loki crosses his arms and smirks. From the way this Rinne seems to react, Loki suspects it would be more fun to fight him with words, but he doubts the audience would let them get away with that. Shame.]
You? Lost? Never. Yes well, that is the recipe for becoming the show around here I’m afraid. You either join of your own free will or they make you. Either way, unlikely you won’t participate at all. Should consider yourself lucky they only want us to fight.
[Of course Loki recognizes that he’s using the term free will rather loosely at best, but he’s pretty sure he’s made his point.]
