【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.
Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our mid-rank suites for all new arrivals. We ask current mid-rank guests to welcome any new arrivals that may temporarily be assigned to their room while we process reservations.
Exciting news! The Phoenix Casino has undergone a renovation. Guests are invited to come enjoy refreshed facilities, games, and lounges. We don't think you'll ever want to leave!
Additionally, the casino will be hosting an upper rank soiree at the end of the month. All guests rank 9 and above are invited to attend. Any +1s of low rank may only attend as a pet or personal attendant. Otherwise, low ranks are not welcome.
We aim to have all guests moved into their suites as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience! 】

▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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 strongly suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.
I'd have to think of something I haven't told you first...
[He isn't worried, at least. For everything else that happened, Maruki has always been honest. He never spilled any of his secrets to anyone else, either.
But at the same time... After going through the entirety of Maruki's heart, he's probably in a similar situation when it comes to telling Akira something, isn't he?]
[ They really are in the same position, both stuck not for fear of revealing something unbearable to the other, simply... lacking options that haven't already been uncovered, intentionally or not.
Maruki scratches at the stubbled line of his jaw and shakes his head, a soft breath of a laugh huffing out. ]
No, I'm struggling to think of something you don't already know too.
[ Even beyond everything Akira saw in his Palace, and all the grave sins Maruki committed against him directly... even normal, lighthearted things he could admit to are hardly unknown between them. Akira knows he climbed trees to try to rescue cats who couldn't want less to do with him and argued with his professors in graduate school. Truly, what else is there? ]
For once, I think it'd be easier if I was getting up to trouble here!
I'm surprised you haven't gotten into trouble even accidentally. [The smile Akira shoots him is something between pained and fond.] You go out of your way to help so much that trouble always seems to find you... even if that's old ladies taking advantage of you at the station.
[It still feels so stark, when he tries to joke with him like before. It's new, and it's familiar, and somehow far easier than it probably should be to do. But too many things are like that for them, maybe.
Sometimes, even with all of the other things that have happened to Akira since he got here... Sometimes he's still worried about Maruki. There are lots of ways that the Resort could take advantage of him, in far more daunting ways. But he can take care of himself in his ways, too; Akira has to trust in that.]
Maybe it'll still count if we say something we already know. The painting doesn't know it, after all. [Underneath the huffing that prompts, Akira slides his voice into a lower register, hoping it's good enough to cover.] We can try to use minor things, too, or make something up entirely... It might not be able to tell the difference.
[ Akira's not wrong about that! And perhaps trouble has found him a time or two, but it's always been so mild, and others are so willing to help him out of it... it's difficult to not feel like the other shoe is poised to drop and something truly terrible is waiting just around the corner to happen to him.
Maruki's gaze shifts from the man in the painting fussing over an astute plan to the one who concocted it. He smiles at Akira, a little wry, a little curious.
He grabs another towel he doesn't need, crumples it as he dries already dried hands just to give a little noise to cover a conversation now happening in low, clandestine whispers. ]
Make something up, huh? Now I'm curious what your mind would come up with.
[Akira moves to grab another paper towel, a cover for after Maruki's through with his own. It's strange, maybe, that having even the fragments of a plan makes him feel more relaxed. There shouldn't be any reason to worry, is there, when Akira has already told him the worst of the worst?]
Breaking into one of the stores here, or trespassing on some of the off-limits areas. Going somewhere our ranks aren't allowed. Cheating at the Game, stealing something valuable... There are endless possibilities.

I guess it's not too easy for you either, is it?
HJEHEHE
