【 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.
[ Troy notes her calm, feeling like they've both been here long enough to be acclimated to the situation despite just having awakened. This will make their cooperation go smoothly, he thinks, so he feels grateful to be paired up with her so far ]
Oh no, I love 'em. I chose to live on a beach back home, built my house next to it. Nothin' like waking up to the sunrise across the ocean and going for a nice run along the coast, I tell ya.
Edible for our virtual avatars. Allows us to last longer in the game until we meet our goal.
[ He shrugs, thinking like it's a video game where one has to keep their health up. But his video game knowledge ends there. ]
I'm used to simulations like this, actually. Heh, come to think of it I might actually become a regular in this part of the resort, yanno? The hotel and the shops are nice but nothing beats the feeling of a beach. Simulated or not.
[ He notes the fact she said she doesn't get to touch sand despite liking the view of the sea, making him think she must be a city slicker as most people tend to be. He's more of a rural guy now that he's getting older, looking for that simpler life. ]
Oh, I guess that means this resort isn't near a beach? That's too bad. It looked really big, so I thought it might be in a prime location.
[Sure, she has no idea what a prime location would even be for a hotel that kidnaps people, but details can matter later. She's still trying to figure out if it's just a huge virtual simulation, like a VR inside of a VR right now.]
[ He smirks, waggling his brows at the image of Astra hand carrying some dead fishes in her arms. Troy points forward with his lips, when he glances at the estuary from where they stand. ]
That's the spot. Come on.
[ He picks up the pace, jogging on the sand with his makeshift spear and looking over his shoulder to see if Astra can keep up. Even if he's just leisurely jogging his long strides and superhuman speed would make this an unfair race. But he's curious how she'd respond to that. ]
[ He feels another laugh belt out of him as he jogs, knowing that it's way worse and more disgusting holding a dead, speared fish than a wiggling one. Once he makes it to where the river meets the ocean, Troy slows down and follows the bank upstream. There's a swell nearby where the river widens enough to slow down the speed of how fast the current flows, almost like a pool. ]
Alright. Wanna bet how many I can get in a minute? I was joking about you having to carry 'em, by the way.

[It's not real though, and that's something she has to keep in mind even as she turns to look at the water.]
I wonder if anything we eat here will actually be edible? If it's not real, I can't imagine we'll get much out of fishing for food.

[She could try, though trying to carry a fish would be amazing. She's never tried it that way before, it might be weird but--
Anyway, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If he gets too far, she might slow down and stop, pouting at him for it, but if not she will continue to follow. Don't leave her behind.]
Oh, wait up!
