【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system. We have arranged for a selection of basement suites to temporarily house new arrivals until reservations have been processed. We hope you'll join us in giving our new guests a warm and loving welcome.
We have an exciting announcement! The house will be hosting a carnival for all guests to celebrate the Golden Peacock's birthday. Please look forward to food, games, and attractions in the Cloud-Dwelling Garden. The carnival will be available for guests to enjoy for seven days. Happy birthday week, Golden Peacock*!
We hope you are as thrilled as we are! And, as always, we hope you enjoy your stay.
*Please note that this is an arbitrarily chosen date for the Golden Peacock's birthday, which is unknown. 】
▶ 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 and this TDM acts as the game's July event. The carnival will run July 15th - July 22nd.
▶ 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. We also have a summer ATP / EMP where players can connect. Please feel free to utilize this for all of your peafowl needs!
▶ 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.
[ He's just like a cat to me... The comment causes his head to jerk towards where Xia Fei is. ]
You-
[ A sigh; Lu Guang pinches at the space between his eyes for a moment. It's not the first time he's heard that comment. Personally, he doesn't understand where it comes from. He has half a mind to ask when Xia Fei elects to invade his personal space. Thankfully, Lu Guang either doesn't notice ( he does ) or he doesn't necessarily mind ( he doesn't, being around his partner means a natural loss of personal space consistently ).
"All the better then!" so says the seller. "Maybe the spirits will find favor with him." ]
Aren't you going to pick one?
[ He is not going to be the only one doing something here, Xia Fei. ]
[ Taking it in stride that someone he knows is here is what he does best. Or maybe he's just that happy to see someone he considers a friend here... despite everything. Especially the robes. While he tries to rope Lu Guang into picking a lucky cat for him, the seller disapproves of the idea almost right away. ]
I'll take the calico. It's like you, Cheng Xiaoshi, and me combined...
[ Sharing that reasoning should be more embarrassing, probably. Not to this guy, though. ]
Let's see if cats like me... what do you think?
[ It's only natural he asks the only catlike person he knows. ]
[ They say that having someone you know around makes difficult transitions easier. What's more difficult than finding yourself in a completely new and unknown situation? One that definitely is a deviation from the timeline and a severe one at that! It's not like Lu Guang has anything against Xia Fei anyway. ]
Pfft. [ Okay, the comment about the calico even has him amused. ] That sounds like something he'd say.
[ Lu Guang, on the other hand, picks up the black one. ]
We can pull the strings at the same time.
[ ...Well we all know how Lu Guang is liked by cats. ]
[ He chuckles softly while peeking at the cat figurine Lu Guang picked. A black cat is such an odd choice for him, Xia Fei thinks, but at the same time it falls into place somehow. ]
I thought you'd choose a white cat.
[ At least Xia Fei spares Lu Guang the details about how the model pictures him as a white cat. ]
Okay, on three...!
[ And on three, he pulls the string only to find out it's bad luck. ]
When you see someone every day, it's difficult to not feel their absence.
[ So, yes. Obviously, he does. Just when some of the more critical events are about to happen, Lu Guang ends up here instead of being by that individual's side. How can he possibly rest easy, knowing that Cheng Xiaoshi could be dealing with those things alone? And the abandonment issues...
He looks at the black cat in his hands. ]
This one feels more appropriate.
[ Xia Fei might have been given bad luck, but when Lu Guang pulls his? There's a chorus of purrs and the chirping of cats. Even the seller seems to be clapping at Lu Guang's "Great Luck" while commenting on how maybe the cat spirits see him as one of them! ]
I'll make sure to tell him you said that whenever I see him.
[ Maybe it's not a matter or when, but if... well, Xia Fei tries no to worry about it too much for now. There's an important reason he needs to get back, after all. When the purring and chirping fill his ears, all the worries dispel in a blink. After confirming that Lu Guang got himself a "Great Luck", Xia Fei claps and nods vigorously. ]
Oooh... I expected no less from you! We probably shouldn't hang out together, haha... I don't want my bad luck to get in the way.
[ He rests his palm on his own nape and sighs. He wants to hang out, though... ]
Do not. He'll become more insufferable than he already is.
[ He's also had enough of the seller gushing about how fortunate Lu Guang is to be adored so by the cat spirits. It's well and fine, but it's also troublesome to attract this much attention. Lu Guang is just ready to leave. In fact, he's turning around to do so, unsure where to put this black cat trinket now that the fortune has been decided.
His attention turns back toward Xia Fei. It's obvious what the former model really wants, isn't it? Lu Guang breathes a sigh. ]
Wouldn't it be better to stick together to negate the bad luck?
[ Still troublesome, but Xia Fei isn't necessarily bad people. He just idolizes someone that is... Was? ]
[ Cheng Xiaoshi is so insufferable that Lu Guang sticks to him at all times. Honestly, he finds it cute. Saying that out loud, well... he strongly believes that red would look amazing on Lu Guang, but he shouldn't push his luck, especially after drawing that fortune. ]
You're the best. Maybe we should get something to eat?
[ Red would not look amazing on him, thank you. That's someone else's color scheme However, he's not at all ashamed of how closely he sticks to Cheng Xiaoshi. There's no reason to feel as though it's a blow to his pride to constantly stick to the other's side, especially in social settings. Lu Guang isn't an anxious person by nature until there's a question of his partner's safety.
Xia Fei, however, isn't a threat to that. How much Lu Guang already knows of Xia Fei's involvement is questionable, but - ]

Only if it doesn't involve you drinking.
[ The last time didn't turn out too well. ]
