Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

[ the nightmare continues ]
[ Almost missing it when Luffy brings up the wish, Nami stops replaying the conversation in her mind, trying to ascertain what the hell they think they're talking about and why, and looks up from the tart she's been frowning at. Of course, the wish hadn't escaped her attention, but the chaos waiting beyond the casino doors kept her on her toes and hadn't provided much planning time. ] We would all need to agree to wish for the same thing.
[ Nami finishes her tart and shoots Luffy a sideways glance, shrugging matter-of-factly. ] Tip the odds, but not by much if there's a lot of competition.
[ Still thoughtful when she returns her attention to her drink, Nami stares down at the glass for a long moment, the wheels in her head turning so intently she misses him grinning at her. She can't miss the sound of it in his voice, however, and it's enough to tug at one corner of her mouth, curving it upward as she tilts her head to the side. ]
No way. [ She sounds so calm and composed saying so, that she almost deflates in relief when her rebuff comes out uninterrupted, which doesn't say much about how well she's handled herself while metaphorically careening through this casino. ] You're not going to leave this buffet to come back to my room. I don't believe you. [ Just, why?! It was supposed to be a dismissal, not a flurry of blunt honesty delivered like a challenge. ]
no subject
(There's just the issue of competition. Having already woken in a bed with someone else who didn't know any of the four seas, the whole thing begins to take a very strange turn. Is everyone in the casino all aiming for the same thing too? Luffy isn't one for pessimism, he just wonders how long it'll take to beat them all to the prize and he frowns a little to himself. How long before they can get back to their trip to the Grand Line?)
Huh? (His prior comment had been so blasé that it takes a good moment for what Nami says next to sink in and that feeling of things being out of control takes hold again, his own mental scenery starting to tilt off balance. Giddy, almost as the challenge is quietly accepted.) You never know. Or I could say the buffet won't last forever if that makes things better?
no subject
Without thinking, she ends up standing closer to Luffy even though he's got his hands full of chicken, allowing herself to indulge in how much more confident she feels with him closer to her.
His posturing about defeating the buffet gives her the distraction Nami needs, making her roll her eyes before she looks past him and towards the long table laden with food. ]
Whatever. Just know I'm not letting you anywhere near my bed if you start stuffing that tuxedo's pockets full of food, no matter how much fun you are to fuck. [ Nami lifts a fresh drink off a passing tray, glad for the diversion (because why can't she stop saying the stupidest, truest things), before looking back to him. ] Where did you get that thing anyway?
no subject
The way Nami shifts closer doesn't go unnoticed and Luffy can't help but draw confidence from the other's presence. Whatever happens they'll have each others backs, giving them the advantage over everyone else here and there's no doubt in Luffy's mind that they'll be winning this.
A compliment about being a fun fuck is left field enough to have Luffy inhaling his food, pounding his chest as he coughs a few times. Thankfully it also serves to explain how his cheeks go bright red. ) Yeah that was fun, we should do that again sometime.
( That's it, Luffy is never drinking anything ever again! )
Oh this thing? They were selling them, this and the masks. ( It had been a hard sell for the store but eventually they'd wrangled it with the promise that the casino had food, food that Luffy wordlessly starts pulling out from his pockets to put on a nearby plate.... )
no subject
I thought we were going to after the buffet. [ Now she's drinking again, wide-eyed and glaring down at the floor when yet another painfully blunt yet somehow lightly delivered remark falls out of her mouth. This isn't the kind of stuff Nami's ever been so casual about or so expressly truthful, at least, not without throwing shadows and shapes to create a diversion and maintain some space.
Luffy again comes through, pulling food out of his pockets and distracting her from all the heavier implications a conversation like this ought to have. Like the suggestion that they depart the buffet immediately, it strikes her as sweet, sweeter than it would be on a more rational day. ] Sure looks like you think we're going to too. [ She should be calling him out, and shutting this down because his pockets are probably disgusting now, thus still proving her point, but - she'd rather be alone with him once there's a break in his buffet conquering. ]
no subject
This resort has been quick to break barriers and Luffy can accept that, but there's an oddity that weaves its way through everything, an overlying concern that Luffy can't quite shake off. Everything so far is apparently provided, even if it needs to be paid for. But currency doesn't seem difficult to come by regarding the whole premise and Luffy frowns at a chicken drumstick on his plate, lost in thought as he tries to pinpoint what is causing an anxiety to permeate the allure of an evening of fun with Nami.)
You know me, I don't think much about anything. Who would I be to turn my best navigator down? (Luffy immediately shoves the chicken drumstick in his mouth to avoid the other words from coming out, ones that would easily talk about how Nami could keep him in bed and he'd never complain. Thankfully the drumstick gives the pirate captain a chance to catch his verbal breath and figure out his next words without jamming his foot in his mouth alongside the food.)
Don't you think it's weird there's no exit here? That we can't just leave when we want?
no subject
She's happy they're being quiet, that's all. And she's even more glad that before she can remind him she's his only navigator, Luffy brings up issues that are a lot more pressing for Nami's mind to latch onto. ]
Yeah, I think it's weird. [ It's all she's been thinking. Allow her to elaborate: ] I think it's weird how I woke up naked in a jungle with no memory of how I got there, I think it's weird how I ended up in a hole in the jungle naked with Zoro, and then lost him, found an orgy instead, and had to steal some clothes before I found this place, where we're trapped. [ She's been gathering steam as she speaks, that honesty juice he shared with her doing a number when it comes to answering this question. ] I think it's weird that I got a sex rash on my chest from a plant, I think it's weird that we– [ The hand not clutching her glass waves between them when she pauses. ] Are doing this– [ More hand waving, this time further down in the space between them. ] And I think it's weird that I can't stop talking about what I think is weird.
[ Except she does, finally running out of things to say, thankfully able to leave out the details of a fair few of the misadventures she's had so far. Nami draws a slow breath, scowling at her drink for a second before she turns back to Luffy and quickly kisses his cheek. ] It's a good weird. [ Fuck. ] This. I mean. [ Fuck, fuck. ]
no subject
Nami begins to ramble and to his credit Luffy pauses in his food conquest, silently and visibly counting on his fingers how many times the word weird comes up. Too many, though Nami isn't wrong in what she says; this place truly is weird and Luffy can feel his eyebrows raising as he hears about the jungle escapades. )
Wait you woke up naked in a jungle and there was an orgy? Even I don't know that dance. ( A moment of silence lingers after that statement before Luffy simply continues on, oblivious to what his mental imagery should be right now. That and the kiss at his cheek has the young man turning red again and he fidgets with a chicken drumstick, unable to keep the grin off his face. Good weird he can certainly live with and he opens his mouth to say as much, blinking when he falls into the trap of drink-induced honesty. )
I like good weird. Did you say you wanted to leave, because we can leave if that's what you want...?
no subject
After draining her drink in an attempt to evade the fact that he's blushing and she's delighted and embarrassed to be the cause, Nami sets her glass back down on the table, sighing at the question and the compulsion she can't fight to answer. ]
With you. [ Left on her own Nami would keep observing the casino in action, trying to piece together a strategy for approaching this place until she's too tired to think, but if getting out of here means she gets to take him somewhere a lot more comfortable than a fitting room and keep him to herself, Nami's sold on the idea. ]
no subject
Luffy nods when hearing Nami's answer. They can leave and do whatever; his blood still feels heated from earlier, memories of the fitting room all too potent and yet Luffy can deal with that himself later on. For now they can focus on getting away from drinks and the casino and if Nami wants to simply catch her breath then that works too and Luffy offers his hand for the other to take.)
Any idea where to go? I don't even know where we're meant to be sleeping. (Even as Luffy speaks he can't help but cast a wistful gaze at the remaining buffet, quietly making a strong promise that he'll be back later for it.)
i hate it here
Look, I just said you couldn't have food in your pockets. [ Which is extremely reasonable by Nami's metric. ]
Just grab one of the platters off the buffet, I'll grab two bottles of champagne from the back of the pouring station on the way out, and if anybody stops us, then we say we need it because we're going to have sex or something. [ She's new at this, her skills of inventing sex reasons to get away with things is going to take a day or two to refine. ]
