OOC NOTES
▶ 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 May 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!

Of course, the competition of who has the most lanterns amongst the heavenly officials is famous. It's my understanding that there are many heated rivalries. [He smiles to himself, knowing that he'd pulled it off and likely upset many in the process. He very much approves.
With the loose knowledge of how close they'd apparently become, he's less shy about letting his gaze wander over to Xie Lian and linger as the man changes. And he's even less inclined to hide that he'd been watching when Xie Lian turns around to make his way in his direction.] There's really no need to be modest. We are about to be wed. [He's teasing, of course, tone playful and coy, but there's a lining of truth in it. He watches as Xie Lian approaches before taking a seat on the floor gracefully so that Xie Lian might sit on the edge of the bed and easily reach his hair. He closes his eye for a moment as pleasant chills run down his spine at the feeling of Xie Lian's fingers in his hair.] Whatever you do will be wonderful. [There's absolutely no doubt whatsoever in his voice. To him, it truly doesn't matter what the final outcome is; that Xie Lian's fingers are carding through his hair means he's already gotten exactly what he wants.]

So you do know of it. {Unsurprising given Hua Cheng's history. What Xie Lian doesn't fully understand is why the ghost would go to such great lengths for him.} I don't suppose you know why you...made so many lanterns for me? I certainly didn't ask it of you. I'm accustomed to losing and that's what everyone expected anyway.
{The other gods had belittled him, but so? His words dry up when he notices that he is being watched. He slips into the robe - more a dress, honestly - and flushes so hard that he feels like he might catch on fire!}
...is that where we're going? {Well alright. Xie Lian honestly can't imagine marrying anyone else! The idea pleases him, leaving him warm and happy as he puts up his hair. Finally, he goes to his San Lang and picks up the fallen brush. He settles on the edge of the bed and first slides his fingers through the other man's silky soft hair. The brush follows and he bites his lip to keep himself from kissing the very top of the ghost's head. It really seems like a good spot for kisses!}
You make a stunning groom. Tell me about your perfect bride.

[He can't help the way his lips curl, unable to keep the amused smile off his face.] As for why... I have a guess. [He leaves it ambiguous, dancing around actually giving an answr. But wasn't it obvious? Xie Lian deserved every prayer lantern. He deserved far more than Hua Cheng could ever give him.]
Judging by the decor and the clothing they want us to wear, that's my guess. [Xie Lian doesn't sound reluctant in the least bit, however, Hua Cheng is still quick to add-] I'm sure it's just another one of their games, though. No need to worry.
[His eyebrows raise at the question, though, and he both wishes he could see Xie Lian's expression while also being grateful that Xie Lian can't easily see his at the moment.] Hmm... My perfect bride? Someone who... knows who they are. Who can be headstrong and walk their own path in spite of what others might think. Kind. Caring. Even if the care they show others might sometimes make me feel jealous, I truly have no reason to worry. Someone gentle and beautiful, but also strong. Someone who... makes me smile and laugh.
What about you, gege? Have you ever given thought to such things?
no subject
His eyes widen at the comment about having a "guess" (about the lanterns) and he leans in, eager to hear.
Only to be teased!} San Lang. {Xie Lian huffs softly and gently bats the ghost's arm. He looks down at himself as he tends to Hua Cheng's hair, his fingers mindlessly adding a braid to the ghost's style.}
I...wasn't worried. {If it's San Lang, he doesn't mind marrying him. At all.
He should think about that more.}... {He fumbles and bites his lip, carefully tying off the braid. Hua Cheng is all of those things he said about his, potential, wife. Xie Lian feels a strange tightening in his stomach and he has to calm himself before he can answer.} San Lang deserves someone like that. Someone like him. Did... Did you ever know someone like that?
{The ponytail he manages this time at least isn't crooked and he uses a red ribbon to hold it in place.}
I wouldn't want to curse anyone with my luck. If I think about having someone like that... They have to be strong. And kind. I don't know how else they will put up with me if they aren't forgiving.
