« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »


« « « DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL


It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. Yet, solace is found in the lies we tell each other, comforted by the peace of knowing that we're not alone in our depravity, and once on this path, sin itself becomes the lesser of two evils masked in a cloud of normalcy.

This is how Duplicity has functioned since the beginning. The divide of power and social standing is overt in that Dominants influence the decisions made both publicly and privately while Submissives cater to the rules presented to them. It is the way of Duplicity to assign random designations at birth with no leeway in altering what has been given. Climate in the Up is far stricter than that of the Down; violating outlined personas for a Dominant or Submissive while in full view of others is punished by degree of infraction. In the Down, many tend to turn a blind eye to these sorts of offenses.

To counteract the discovery of the Deceit Gene – a natural "negative" response to all stimuli – the L.I.E.S. program was founded. The program had been designed to introduce new subjects to the current environment and test for the Deceit Gene through immersion in Duplicity's standing society. Sexual impulses and encounters increase the chances of detecting the gene within these individuals. Participants are typically released from L.I.E.S. after a year; however, results have remained unsatisfactory and testing still continues.

... and you’re here! Finally! Welcome to Duplicity.

After choosing a door and stepping through to the other side, the first thing that greets you are the enthusiastic faces of people in medical scrubs and pristine lab coats. Their enthusiasm translates to eagerness as they strip you of your clothes to perform a thorough examination—you will be healed, bathed, and given a paper gown to wear until your items can be processed and delivered to your residence later in the evening. You are also given a device that accesses the network as well as the time and location of orientation.

If you enter Duplicity into the Up, congratulations! You’re a Dominant, which means you are immediately picked up by a limo after processing and taken to your highrise. Here, it is two Dominants per floor with separate apartments. If you enter Duplicity into the Down, congratulations! You’re a Submissive, which means you are directed towards public transportation with the address of the motel you’ll be living in. Here, it is two Submissives per room with a shared common space for all rooms.

Enjoy your free time until orientation! Participation is mandatory by all new and old arrivals.

The weather is a mild 62 degrees.



» » » IT DOES NOT COUNT




It's time for the monthly Duplicity train tour. Seats are in pairs and randomly assigned to Dominants and Submissives alike. Traveling from Fiddler's Square, the train journeys through various parts of the Up, showcasing society and examples of lifestyle. Along the way, frequent stops are made; a variety of passengers can be seen exiting and entering the doors. A Dominant with a kneeling Submissive takes a seat near the front of the train at one stop. A small group of Submissives board and sit closer to the LIERS at another, all seemingly content in their roles. As the tour continues through the Up, the train passes close to the Market and White Wall Bridge and zips by North Park before heading into the Down and bypassing Red Wall Bridge and South Park.

The train makes a "final" stop at Riddler's Square, where inhabitants of the Down are instructed to return to their temporary housing. Those who live in the Up are permitted to stay on the train and revisit the same locations while returning.

Orientation this month is a little…different.

The usual orientation center suffered extensive damage in last month’s massive ice storm, and repairs are underway. Unfortunately, they won’t be ready in time to accommodate the newest batch of arrivals, so instead the city has relocated their operations and sent a skeleton crew to help staff it. This month’s orientation takes place in a vintage event space in an old neighborhood in the Up, the Dashing Gardens Event Center and Conference Hall.

The decor was fresh and new when the building was originally constructed, some 100 years ago, but now the whole place gives off an old, run-down vibe that some might kindly call, “vintage.” Workshops take place in too-small rooms that might generously accommodate 10 people, if they squeeze tight. Choosing to embrace their surroundings, the orientation staff are handing out 1920s-Era party favors such as cheap sequined fans, garters, and hats. These items have no unusual effects and look quite chintzy, but will add a bit of sparkle to the event.

Not only are the facilities dated, but the planning leaves something to be desired. There is a general sense of chaos and disorganization. None of the staff seem to know what’s going on or where to find things, and attendees will be frequently misdirected into the wrong room or session. Some sessions are cancelled without warning, or turn out completely and bizarrely different from how they were described. Additionally, the orientation center was using Cordispondence’s proprietary software for their planning and accidentally sent out strongly-worded, obligatory summons to citizens who shouldn’t be there. It’s very unclear who is actually supposed to be here and who was invited by mistake.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that the building is a bit…strange. Hallways seem to warp locations, and doors lead to different places than expected. Attendees will find themselves alone in a room one moment and locked in with a stranger the next with no seeming way out. Citizens of Duplicity might realize it’s time to get creative ( and busy ) if they don’t want to starve.

The staff are less than helpful, and all complaints will be met with a heartfelt apology and a voucher for a free hour in the ball pit, located in the great room. If one can find it.

The orientation center staff managed to grab what they could from a storage closet before the center was closed for repairs, so the workshop rooms have a variety of items placed within them to help the newcomers get accustomed to their new roles. There are selections of bracelets and collars for doms and subs to try on, with native dom/sub pairs giving appropriate behavior demonstrations. Any LIErs willing to join in the display and practice on each other earn a gift certificate for one meal at one of any of the participating restaurants sponsoring the event.

Other tables contain sex toys, lube, and various edible products to help anyone who partakes get in the mood. There is a book table full of inspiring reads and helpful diagrams, with a much too chipper attendee who is eager to help anyone within range find their perfect kink.

If that’s not enough, try the punch. It’s sure to leave you feeling festive, Duplicity-style.



« « « EVERYTHING REMAINS




As the night melts into early morning, attendees will experience a physical crack and shift. For some, they’ll be brought to their knees or find themselves winded. Others will feel a tightness in their chest or the strange sensation of losing their breath. When it’s over, each person will now bear the physical characteristics of two other people: someone they care dearly for and someone that they do not. The combination of features or physical attributes will be unique; possibly the hair style and color of one but the eyes and nose of the other. What’s even more odd is that, now, desires belonging to the other people are transferred. Strong and overwhelming, satisfaction is a must.



« « « SPEAK OF ME




Other games found during orientation:

» Glory holes with tip buckets on the receiving side. Any kind of sex act will do, though the amount of beads someone gets for their time depends on how good they are, of course.

» Public sex. Like a righteous frat party, enjoy the rain of beads that comes with a good performance... or at least an entertaining one. Strip teases are included in this, catch an eye or three and try your hand at sex appeal.

» Contests of endurance. Try and outdo another, whether it's outlasting an orgasm or making the other come first, one-on-one or with pairs and more competing against others. The prize is always moderate, the largest sum given to winners and trickling down to the losers. Some even have honorable mentions if they’re generous.



« « « WAITING FOR YOU




(CW: potential dubcon, objectification)

By far the largest and shiniest booth comes from orientation sponsors Sexy Metal Incorporated, who have set up a display of their incredible high-tech sexbots. These life-sized dolls are made of extremely realistic material that feels like warm human skin, and come with state-of-the-art mechanics that give them lifelike movement. Engineers show off how the bots can be plugged into a computer and programmed to act any way the buyer likes.

They come in a wide variety of customizable appearances and, eerily, some of the bots on display look exactly like people you may know. Booth staff encourage customers to buy these dolls, or to rent them and give them a try onstage in front of the fascinated crowds. If that’s not kinky enough, one of the engineers has purchased a VR headset from another booth, and programmed it to interface with the bot’s controls. Care to slip inside the silicone skin of another person?

These bots may appear throughout the orientation, some of them having escaped the display. Staff are attempting to round them up. If you’re willing to help out and provide a distraction for the bot, you could earn a half hour with the VR or a voucher for the ball pit!



« « « ALL IS WELL




While not as prominent as the booths handing out sex toys, there are plenty of pop-up fortunetelling booths scattered throughout orientation. These impromptu oracles provide a variety of divinations, including but not limited to tarot readings, tea leaves, and even reading roses. Ask about love, life, death, health, wealth, or whether or not to upgrade your insurance policies. Whatever you ask, though, you’ll find something curious - it may not be literal, and it may not be in the manner expected, but all fortunes somehow come true within the day.



« « « WE MEET AGAIN




A couple days after orientation, the citizens of Duplicity are abuzz with the revamp of the virtual sensation: dualcam.com It's available for free and accessible through any device connected to the city's network. Once the page is visited, most will notice very familiar faces. Was that your roommate? Your best friend? Your Dominant or Submissive? What you're seeing are all the participants of the L.I.E.S. program engaged in live shows of varying content—some sexual, some not. But it is all meant to be erotic in some capacity. Lives streams can be interacted with, and the higher the tip, the more provocative the requests might become. Some might even indulge in personal shows.

Whatever the content, the person on the screen is a perfect copy of the participant that's being portrayed but with one exception: their main negative trait of the individual is enhanced the longer the shows continue and their content of choice won't necessarily be a reflection of what they would actually indulge in.

The L.I.E.S. staff will not be helpful in any capacity if contacted about the site. There is, however, a way to shut the feed down. Find the location where the live feed is taking place. This will not be an easy task as the background of each live show is decorated but a clever person could ask the right questions. Stop it. Let it continue. The decision is up to the participant.



« « « MOD & OOC NOTES


Please read carefully.

On each Test Drive Meme, there will be a section noting character roles; these will vary each TDM. On an IC level, characters will still have gone through the doors but assignments OOCly are still randomized. When applying, there is a section of the application that denotes whether the character chooses "left" or "right". When participating on the TDM, there will be a third option. Players may link either a top level or a thread (five or more comments from their character) from the TDM and title the link as "Door Pass". This means that the player is choosing to take the designation that they were randomly assigned on the TDM, rather than taking the designation of a door. If the player decides to select a door rather than use the pass, then they are trying their luck; they may get the same designation they had on the TDM or the opposite. Once the application is submitted, players can't change their choice.

To assign roles to characters for this TDM, use the following guide: All left handed characters are Dominants and all right handed characters are Submissives.

Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!!

cultivatingsin: (Baby I'm guilty as hell)

[personal profile] cultivatingsin 2020-04-06 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The rush of heat across his tongue, hitting the back of his throat was amazing. He had made Xiao Xingchen climax and he wondered if his Daozhang had ever felt anything like that before? Only when he felt the cock go soft did he pull back and crawl over the other man. He was...stunning. Flushed, breathing hard and sweetly dazed...

"Xingchen..." he brushed a hand against his lover's face, smiling slowly, "Sweet Xingchen..."

[personal profile] bright_moon 2020-04-06 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Never.

Xingchen had never even touched himself for pleasure before.

Now...

He manages to move his head just enough to press into the hand on his face, body still quivering as he slowly comes down from the overwhelming high Xue Yang had just brought him to.
cultivatingsin: (You really are)

[personal profile] cultivatingsin 2020-04-06 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
The quivering had him wrapping his body around Xingchen. Legs tangled, arms around Xingchen's waist, Xue Yang smiled at him and gently kissed his cheek.

"It will feel just as good...maybe better...when I come inside of you." he nuzzled a pale shoulder, "Or you can come inside of me. I wouldn't mind."
bright_moon: (qTDGIDs)

[personal profile] bright_moon 2020-04-06 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
He sighs when Xue Yang curls around him, legs tangling together. Warmth settling around him and Xingchen slowly manages to wrap his arms around Xue Yang's shoulders. He finds himself blushing again at the idea before turning his head to kiss the other's cheek.

"I think..." Still a bit breathless. "I want to know how it feels...to have you inside me."
cultivatingsin: (Let's give this another try)

[personal profile] cultivatingsin 2020-04-06 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
His braced hand stroked down Xingchen's chest lazily; he was merely enjoying this new proximity, though his arousal was definitely rubbing against his Daozhang's hip. He didn't possess the self-control to hold it back or...somehow...hide it.

"I'll be gentle with you." Xue Yang whispered huskily, "I need to stretch you first. It might feel a little uncomfortable."
bright_moon: (cPcqMCY)

[personal profile] bright_moon 2020-04-06 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The lazy hand over his chest helps calm his breathing. Xingchen is aware of the hardness against his hip, of course. But finds he doesn't...actually...mind it. Not with what he's just been taught about his own body, and with what more he's about to learn.

He moves a hand from around Xue Yang's shoulders to rest over the one roaming his chest, then turns his head to find the man's lips for a soft kiss. "You have taken good care of me so far," he answers with certainty.
cultivatingsin: (Show me how defenseless)

[personal profile] cultivatingsin 2020-04-06 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He pulled away briefly to find something for lubricant - oil, as it turned out, in the drawer beside the bed. Sniffing the liquid, he smiled; Xingchen would be smelling quite delicious soon. He quickly snuggled back against his lover and returned the kiss, deepening it slightly.

"Why shouldn't I take care of you?" he spread the other man's legs and smoothed some of the oil around his entrance, "I will enter you here. It might feel like a lot, but it won't stay that way. Your body will adjust."
bright_moon: (mdzs_e10_14897)

[personal profile] bright_moon 2020-04-06 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Xingchen doesn't hold Xue Yang to him. He's chosen this, for various reasons but maybe...selfishly he wants the contact. He hums into the kiss, resettling his arms loosely around his lover.

He shakes his head slightly, finding it easy to smile even as the touch to his entrance again has him shiver, breath hitching. "I'll be fine."

Xue Yang has helped him too much since their arrival here, even if it's only been a day or two, for him to just dismiss the care and loneliness he senses from the other. The genuine emotion he hears.
cultivatingsin: (Baby I'm guilty as hell)

[personal profile] cultivatingsin 2020-04-07 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes, you will!" he agreed merrily, beaming at Xingchen's handsome face, "Because I'll take care of you."

And that was a task in which he would not fail again. He slipped a finger into the tight ring of muscle, holding still for a moment. Then he began to thrust it, gently, reaching as deep as the muscles allowed.

"You're hot." Xue Yang shuddered and guided one of Xingchen's hands to his arousal, "I'm hot too."
bright_moon: (Wet kiss)

[personal profile] bright_moon 2020-04-11 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
He draws in a quick breath at the penetration before the slight burn fades and he relaxes. Only to shudder when Xue Yang moves his finger in and out, coaxing the muscles to relax and allow the play. Gentle. He hadn't thought even this part would feel at all good, but he is pleasantly surprised.

Xingchen lets his hand be guided, biting his lip when Xue Yang brings it to the other's arousal. He flushes at the comment but carefully, gently, curls his fingers around the hard flesh. Curious enough to run light fingers along it in the softest of strokes. He presses up for another light kiss.

"It doesn't hurt," he assures his lover. He's starting to let doubts fade, at least when it comes to what Xue Yang wants to do with him. Difficult to hold onto distrust, when only pleasure is heaped on for hours.
cultivatingsin: (You really are)

[personal profile] cultivatingsin 2020-04-12 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
He wanted Xingchen to know him intimately; eyes or no eyes, he wanted him to recognize him without having to say a word. Connections of that sort went deeper than the skin and Xue Yang longed for a bond that strong - a bond that ensured he would never be alone again.

He loved the other man's hands and he moaned, arching against Xingchen's palm and fingers. When his lover curled his fingers, he followed suit, teasing his beautiful Daozhang from within.

"I don't want it to hurt." Xue Yang kissed Xingchen hungrily, letting him feel his desire, "If it does, tell me?"

Pulling his fingers free, he guided his cock to his lover's entrance and began to push in.
