TDM 011
【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.
We are thrilled to announce that the Golden Peacock will be embracing autumn with a special outing. Current and new guests are invited to join us for a refreshing outdoor experience where participants can unplug, unwind, and connect with nature. During this time, all Watches will be disabled to the most basic functions (texting, calls, checking chip account) in order to encourage guests to disconnect.
Please look forward to two weeks of finding yourself amongst the trees. We hope you enjoy your stay, and have a fan-CAMP-stic time. 】
CAMPING
GETTING OFF THE GRID
As the resort moves into what it claims is autumn, the days grow shorter. The projected sun in the Vale sets in the afternoon, after which a faint chill falls. Then there’s the most excessive transformation of all – a portion of the Vale has transformed into a campground complete with a scenic lake, seemingly overnight. Statues nearby have been dressed up with flannel jackets and suspenders. Folksy banjo fills the air without any discernible source.
A section of the campgrounds have been reserved for tents. These tents vary in size, shape, and supplies. All tents, regardless of quality, are supplied with sex toys and lube. Staff and long-standing guests all agree — pretending to live in the wilderness and 'rough it' for a while is thrilling. This is what the peasants feel like all the time!

HOME ON THE RANGE
Welcome to the Peacock Campgrounds! Nicknamed the Stomping Grounds by long-standing guests. Rustic and right off a sparkling lake, guests will find everything they need to live in the wilderness. Staff have expertly set up fire pits, benches, hammocks, and a wooden shed to act as a tool depository. There's even an outhouse, which is a real novelty to many of the long-standing guests. Do they just... squat over that hole and do their business? How wild!
Unlike previous resort-sponsored excursions, guests are expected to manage without the help of staff. That pile of wood won't be replenished once used; guests will have to go chop down trees and split their own. Food won't magically appear in their tents regardless of rank. Camping is all about living off the land. Though staff make themselves scarce to make the experience feel real, they lurk in the shadows, discreetly providing necessary tools and fixing broken equipment so guests won't struggle too much. It isn't fun if it's real hardship, after all!

ACTIVITIES
TWO WEEKS OF ROUGHING IT
Camping can't be all about survival. Where's the fun in that? Before 'leaving', the staff arrange activities and events for guests to enjoy. A wooden bulletin board outlines times for group hikes, camping experiences, and wilderness delights. Adirondack chairs line the edge of the lake and a few tire swings hang over the water, tied to strong tree branches. For the first week and a half the weather is pleasant and sunny. Perfect for camping.
At night, acoustic guitars and other wooden instruments come out so that guests can make music around the bonfire. Projected stars dapple the night sky, forming various constellations sourced from guest worlds. The moon enters a different phase each night, shining a gentle silver across the campgrounds. Why not pull your sweetheart in and cuddle beneath the night sky? It's so romantic.

HOWLING
CALL OF THE WILD
Temperatures drop drastically at night as the camping excursion nears its end. Nights become so chilly that morning dew frosts over, crunching beneath guest feet. Every day the light and its warmth set a little bit earlier. Staff remain elusive and do not provide warmer blankets or clothes for guests, leaving them to cuddle for warmth or find other ways to sleep comfortably during nightly cold snaps.
The moon hits its apex on the final night of camping. Unlike the other nights, this full moon shines blood red. The Vale stills under this ominous sign, silent. Snowflakes begins to fall, spreading an endless clean sheet across the campgrounds. That reflected pink hue is inescapable.

The Weather Turns
[River no longer thinks he's dreaming. Now he's sure he's in some sort of coma. The weather must have changed and the hospital hasn't given him another blanket because it's suddenly cold and the robe and shoddy clothes he managed to make are doing nothing against the bite of the wind. It's not like he's from a warm climate or anything, but he would love some warmer clothes and to be inside properly.
So, when he's offered a nicer tent to stay in, he's will to go, no questions asked. He's been here long enough that the sex toys don't faze him, they were in his own tent when he awoke here after all, but that doesn't mean he doesn't notice them at all.]
It is, yes. I have to thank you again for your offer. I could hardly call the accommodations I was given appropriate for this weather. I suppose my mind is trying to torture me. Otherwise, I suppose I am okay. And that would be lovely, thank you. I can prepare it, if you would prefer? After all, it is so kind of you to take me in like this.
[River clears his throat and awkwardly side-eyes the chest of toys at her suggestion to move closer. But he still doesn't have proper clothing and it is rather chilly. And honestly? He's kind of lonely. He smiles a bit nervously and nods before moving closer.]
So, uh, have you been here long then?
no subject
she gives him a smile once she's gotten comfortable. ]
Oh? Yes, I'd quite like that. Please prepare us some cocoa. I'm sure the heat will warm our fingertips.
[ leave it to mona to act spoiled. although she had made the offer herself, she is particularly greedy when it comes down to it. usually, she'll just make a demand of someone else and expect them to obey. she is a genius astrologist, after all; her will is the way of the world. ]
And I've been a guest of the resort for some time, [ she continues. ] Over a year now, I'd say.
[ not the most reassuring thing to admit, but... ]
no subject
He gives his host a smile and a nod before getting to work on the cocoa. He hasn't had anything like this since he was a kid, but as it comes together, he has to admit the smell reminds him of home and helps ease the tension in his shoulders.
River hands her over a mug after a bit before taking his own. He's just taken a sip when she says how long she's been there and damn near chokes.]
I am sorry, but did you just say a year?
[The information is both terrifying and somehow helpful. At least she might have some information that could be useful. Even if this is all a dream, he doesn't mind the idea of investigating such a strange place. He does like to solve a mystery, after all. What spy doesn't?]
no subject
And a half.
[ again... not the most reassuring thing to hear.
she proceeds to drink a little of her cocoa before setting her mug down and reaching for the nearby treat basket. there's a bag of marshmallows there, and they're relatively large in size. mona decides just one will do. ]
I awoke here in January of last year, but it wasn't until March that I officially became a guest. I suppose the period between then was more of a prelude to what was to come.
[ the marshmallow is dropped into her cocoa, and then she takes a second sip. ]
You could say I've become used to the resort's antics.
no subject
I have well and truly lost the plot.
[It’s said to himself. He simply cannot comprehend that any of this is real. He’d been willing to just go along with things because he has to wake up sooner or later, right? But every once in a while someone says or does something that throws him for a loop. A brief moment when part of him knows this is really happening before his brain simply shuts down again.]
So wait, you were here, but not a guest? How would that work?
[He’s not sure why he’s asking, but he can’t seem to help himself. If he’s losing his mind, he might as well get some information while he can.]
