【 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! 】

▶ 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.
▶ 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.
[ It's lovely, he says, entirely blank. Maruki doesn't feel too put out by it. Something like this might not be Douman's style, but he isn't insisting they go elsewhere, so...
It's fine. He wanders over toward one of the many little alcoves created naturally by the plants, a small clearing amidst towering trees and lush flowers. ]
Most everyone is in the casino these days. I think we'll have better luck with privacy here than anywhere else.
[ He crouches down, pats the grass next to him as he smiles up at Douman. ]
[Time feels farther away, somehow. Douman sits in the grass beside a man he hardly knows, in a place where he should know him better. He feels an odd ache, some unfamiliar tension that he won't call anxiety. He's been enjoying himself, and he intends to continue enjoying himself, but it's odd not to be so lonely. He's not sure he likes it.]
[ Maruki pulls his knees up in front of him, drapes his arms loosely around them. ]
My name is Dr. Maruki, but please, just call me Maruki.
[ Some people here call him doctor, or even doc, but even though he can't stop himself from introducing himself with his title, he's trying to gently stray away from encouraging that. ]
What about you?
why is maruki making him all uncomfortable and wiggly

[And then comes the trouble with his own name. If Maruki is from Japan, he'll likely recognize it.]
Douman. You can call me that if you'd like, I suppose.
get seen idiot
[ Anyone would know that name, and it's hardly common in modern day. Maruki has to wonder... ]
That's a name that carries a lot of weight, isn't it?
no subject
So, you recognize it. What does that name mean to you, Maruki-kun?
no subject
[ That seems... like sticky, dangerous territory. ]
If my name was familiar across realities, I'm not sure I'd want to ask after it.
no subject
I don't believe you...
[Douman lays a hand on Maruki's knee and tilts his head, eyes struggling to lock on those blocked by lenses.]
Tell me. I want to know.
