【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

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.
[ Kazuya has often wondered and weighed the merits of seeing his friends again, even if he were to leave this place. He has his contract with Weiss, after all, and she'll need him too.
Maybe his friends are better off with him out of the picture now, with how long it's been. ]
If it's something weighing on your mind, it's best to get it out, isn't it? It's not like I'm going to pass any sort of judgement on you.
[ Another small nod of silence. Kazuya's even disposition makes it easy to share things. ...is this how others felt when they shared their secrets with him?
And even though Kazuya yields the floor to him once again, Minato hesitates before shaking his head this time. ]
...no, it's -- it's fine.
[ A turn of phrase that he's become increasingly fond of using. He's already troubled Kazuya for far too much for far too long.
Maybe someday, though, when he's more comfortable about burdening Kazuya with his thoughts. ]
Making sure you have food is the least I can do with my illustrious king rank.
[ In fact, Kazuya waves his hand, as if to clear the notion that this has been any sort of trouble in the slightest. ]
Seriously, don't think you're putting me out any. I've been here over a year now. Helping other people helps me fill the time.
[ The normalcy that new arrivals tend to have help keep him sane, honestly. His brain can't be wired towards sex and debauchery at all hours. ]
Speaking of, if you end up staying here and end up a lower rank, feel free to swing by my suite sometime. It'll be far more comfortable for you to stay there than in a cramped closet of a room.
[ If the woman with orange hair is to be believed. ]
I heard -- if you win at this place's game, you can leave.
[ Still, that's... a whole lot of sex someone needs to have to achieve the win.
Minato folds his hands in his lap as Kazuya speaks. This offer is probably something he makes to any newbies in need, right? That does make Minato feel a little better. ]
...thanks.
[ He won't. Staying there means less space for someone else who might be in need, but it's still kind of Kazuya to offer. ]
[Does he believe it? Not really anymore. Not with how many people are still here. Even beyond the rest of the people who have been here a year, the thought of escape seems pretty far away at this point, in his eyes.]
Don't you find it interesting that it's called game 52? There's another card game like that, that I'm familiar with. Where when someone collects all the cards, they get scattered again and you have to restart.
[It's just something he's been thinking about for awhile now.]
[ It seems like a safe assumption that Kazuya might know, considering how long he's been here. And while Minato's never heard of other games called Game 52, he thinks he's following what Kazuya's implying. ]
...when you win, you have to start all over again.
There's older players here, yeah. But they've decided to not go home. They just live here instead now, and most of the older residents here... They're dead. A lot of them don't seem to know or don't seem to care, though.
[It's a lot to take in for someone new, though.]
I wouldn't say playing is pointless. You can still get things out of it like rank changes or items from home, or even abilities from the resort, apparently. I also can't recommend not playing either, since that's pretty much impossible. And if you do manage to somehow skip out on it for long enough, you'll turn to stone.
[ It never occurred to Minato that simply deciding to never go home was an option. As for the older residents being dead, well... Funny story about that, Kazuya. ]
...oh.
[ Turning to stone, huh. ...was that the key to getting back home for him?
Minato goes quiet for a little while, thinking a bit too hard about that last piece of information. ]
Like a statue...?
[ In theory, he would like to go Back to being stone again... ]
[Girl don't go back to being stone, especially not here it's not worth it!!!]
I can't recommend it, honestly. It's never happened to me, but there are some people around who it has happened to, and they don't really have good things to say about the experience.
In any event, "statue" isn't exactly the type of stone he's going for. Now, had Kazuya mentioned anything like a "door" or a "gate," all bets would be off. ]
Oh.
[ So much for that plan... This must be why he'd been advised to make connections with others throughout the resort though. ]
...okay. Then I'll have to be careful.
[ Who knows just how quickly the petrification would set in? Hopefully it's after he'd had the chance to meet a few more people. ]
If you do what they want from you, then it probably wont set in at all. They want you to have sex, so having it regularly means you're at less of a risk of turning to stone.
[Kazuya actually nudges the bowl in front of Minato with his own chopsticks.]
You can keep eating, if you want. You seemed pretty hungry before you got down, so eat to your heart and stomachs content, alright? My treat for the unfortunate new guy here.
[And he does try, for what it's worth. To give a teasing grin.]
[ That's the caveat, isn't it? Having sex is one thing, but asking others for help with it is a little different... On the other hand, this probably qualifies as a life-or-death situation. Can't afford to get cold feet.
As for the food, Minato looks down at the empty bowl Kazuya's nudging towards him. He's already had three servings of noodles. And while he probably could go for a fourth one... nah, three feels like enough. For now. ]
...I think I'm okay for now.
[ But tomorrow? Who could say. At the very least Kazuya's grin gives reassurances that they truly are on decent terms. ]
[Well, no need to worry about the chips to pay anyway, given his standing, but...]
If you get assigned a rank and suit, message me. I'll show you some of the places I know that don't drug their foods. Or at least are safer than the others when it comes to it, alright? It's not a nice way to be forced into anything, to be honest.
[ So it seems Kazuya's already pegged him as the sort who'd definitely end up eating drugged food. Well. He's not going to deny that. ]
...yeah. I'll let you know.
[ The best case scenario is to apparently hope the resort sends him back from whence he came. But alas, it seems Minato's always been fate's unfortunate victim... ]
