« « « ALL ON DISPLAY
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 high rise. 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 rather cold and icy. |
» » » WALKING TOUR
The cold, icy winter weather has seen to it that there is an unfortunate interruption with the usual city tour for the newest arrivals to Duplicity. Some of the train tracks have a dangerous amount of ice coating them and sections of travel are now unavailable via train. City officials still believe that the tours are important to integrate new LIERs to Duplicity so they have organised personal walking tours held by current LIERs. New arrivals will be paired with their own tour guide; they can take the suggested path or take their barely dressed charge on a more ad-hoc tour. It might be considerate to let them change into something warmer first! Important landmarks and checkpoints like Fiddler’s Square, North Park, The Up and Down Courts, the People Zoo and of course S.L.U.T. need to be marked off on the tours but there have also been fun local stores which have set-ups for free samples and information booklets. What order and how people travel to them is up to them. |
« « « GALLERIA OF SEX
![]() One of the stops along these new walking tours is a temporary educational art installation that has been set up to display and talk about the rich variety of kinks that are popular in Duplicity. Newcomers are invited to come inside the building, sit on the human furniture to watch and learn or volunteer to participate themselves. Each section has local LIERs and graduated citizens there to help walk those new to the program through the displays, explaining the appeal and draw of each kink. Live demonstrations or performance art are carried out by LIERs who have volunteered, been conscripted or are fulfilling a sentence that would normally land them in the People Zoo. They can and will ask anyone and everyone to step up and be part of the artwork themselves. Some of the displays set up will feature:
We encourage players not to limit themselves in regards to what is on display. There are many more kinks than the ones listed, and Duplicity considers all kinds of sexual acts a form of art. Photo taking is encouraged throughout the exhibition, especially when your own participation is concerned. If you missed the chance to do so, in the moment, you need not worry as the gift shop at the end of the gallery will have many different prints taken over the course of the exhibition available for purchase. Take home a keepsake of your first day in Duplicity. |
« « « ICE TO SEE YOU
![]() Winter does make it harder in Duplicity to enjoy all the pleasures of the flesh that could be on offer in the warmer months. Most who live in the city still need to wrap up with many layers when the weather turns so chilly. But that’s not saying that the city can’t find ways to help keep its residents in the mood. It will first be noticeable to those trying their hand at streaming or posting video footage onto the network. Regardless of a character's state of dress while recording, they will appear completely naked to those watching and no amount of covering up with more articles of material will change that. Others might see it as they set about on their first days getting used to the city’s layout, glancing into a shop window they will notice their own state of undress in their reflection. You might even see it in a particularly shiny bit of ice but no matter where you look, all reflective surfaces will show everyone in their birthday suits, naked as the day they were born. |
« « « BLADES OF GLORY
![]() In a bid to encourage individuals to get out and keep active despite the chilly weather, the city has transformed one of the large tennis courts in the Up into a makeshift outdoor skating rink. In the recreation building attached to the courts-turned-rink the change rooms have been outfitted for people to change into more appropriate clothing. There is also at the front of the building an area to rent skates. Many who get on the ice see no reason to keep apart, as many contracted couples can be seen holding hands or chasing each other as they skate. In the change rooms it isn’t uncommon to see a bit of hanky panky or people getting off at helping others in and out of their skates. There also seems to be a small hot chocolate stand set up inside the building where characters can buy a warm drink to sip on while taking a break from skating. The drink may leave those that consume it feeling especially warm and frisky, with perhaps a bit of extra energy they need to burn off - skating might not cut it. |
« « « 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: If your character would rather have a dog for a pet they are Dominant. If they would rather have a cat for a pet they are Submissive. If your character is from a canon that has neither, pick the choice you believe they would prefer more. To Note: Characters can only swap their designation for one of the following reasons: an event occurs that allows it or there are OOC reasons that make it a necessity. Any swap always requires mod approval and each character can only ever switch once. Characters that are being reapped will keep their previous designation but players can choose to use new tdms with different designations for fun! Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have a good time!! |
Diana Prince | DCEU | Submissive
[Bu now, she's been there for a day or so. So she's no longer in her paper gown. No, she's in her armor so she doesn't feel so naked. Not that there's much more there but at least she doesn't have to worry about a wind exposing her butt to the world.
Diana is not unfamiliar with sex, she has after all read all 12 volumes of "Clio's Treatises On Bodily Pleasure", but she is still not prepared for what she sees in this gallery.
She's not embarrassed at all, more like shocked.
She can't help but stare at the people displayed in various positions and well, most do not look at all comfortable.
Diana glances over at the person who just happens to be beside her.]
They did say these people volunteered, right?
« « « BLADES OF GLORY
[She's never seen anything like this before and she's standing at the edge of the tennis court staring.
People are laughing as they skate by, some gliding along beautifully and others well, falling and flailing their way by her.
She can't help but smile as she watches it all, drinking it all in.]
Have you ever done this?
[Asked to no one imparticular... Perhaps just someone randomly passing by her.]
Galleria
[ Isabela was sporting a white turtleneck sweater dress and a pair of high cloth boots that left her thighs exposed despite the cold. A small price to pay for fashion. She was visiting the galleria as much out of boredom as lurid interest. She didn't have much money and this was free entertainment.
She gave Diana an appreciative glance. She liked armor. Made her feel a little more at home. ]
Dig the outfit, love.
Re: Galleria
Thank you. [She actually smiles as she looks down at her armor. There's much she doesn't appreciate about this place but she can appreciate that they at least sent her in her armor instead of one of the restrictive dresses Etta and Steve had made her try on.
She looks over at the woman and her eyebrows raise a little. Now that dress is much better than the ones she'd tried on. It looks as though someone could still actually fight in it.]
I... dig yours as well. I truly like your boots.
Re: Galleria
Thanks, they're an experiment. Usually I'm more for leather, but I can't fault the comfort and convenience. [ Far fewer straps and ties, and you didn't need to rely on lubricants to get your foot into them. ]
Did you just get 'off the bus' as they say here?
[ She touches her turtleneck covered neck - something a submissive wouldn't be allowed to do - and in turn drawing attention to the vertical line on Diana's neck. ] Not that I'm advocating it, but you'll get a little more favorable treatment from the natives if you do their song and dance. That means wearing a collar.

so she nods, smiling as she watches someone stumble and catch himself, and looks towards the woman who asked.]
I have, I took my son ice skating when we lived in New York. Have you?
no subject
[Her eyes widen a bit and a wistful smile forms on her face. But then she remembers something and her smile fades. Oh, that's horrible! She's here and hopefully, he isn't.]
I'm so sorry.
[She shakes her head.]
No, where I come from we don't have weather that permits things like this. In fact, it was only when I left home that I even saw snow.
no subject
[ so she smiles, in spite of the fact that Diana is right - it's horrible. she misses him all the time. but she tells herself that they won't be apart forever.]
Then, trust me, you might want to take advantage of it when this place offers you something new. Something good.
(no subject)
Blades of Glory
Glancing at the woman who asks that, then turning to face her more fully with a nod and a smile.]
Actually I have. Where I went to college was really cold. We did a lot of winter sports. [He glances at the skaters and then back to her.] You want to try?
no subject
Her gaze darts back to the ice skaters and then back to him and her eyes are widening in excitement.]
Oh, yes! Yes, I would love to try!
no subject
One minute and I'll be right back with skates.
[He isn't gone long at all, glancing back at her while he waits. When he comes back he has skates for them both.]
Want me to get them laced on for you? [He pauses and then adds.]
I'm Kyle, by the way. Sorry for the lack of manners.

He steels his jaw after a second, and shakes his head.]
No one's here voluntarily, whether or not they knelt down today without complaint.
[Dick's not in uniform, but she is, and identity rules apply, so-]
It's good to see you, Wonder Woman.
no subject
But, she sees the way his jaw sets, and her gaze darts from him to the person on display and then back to him.]
Then why is no one doing anything to help them?
[Her fists actually clench at her side and she is about to actually do something to help them but he speaks again and she pauses and looks back to him confused.]
I'm sorry, what?
[Wonder Woman? Where has that even come from?]
no subject
If it's even Diana. He's learned not to judge books too much by their cover: she's not the woman he knows, but he thought-]
Sorry. [He smiles, bright but apologetic, and tries a different tack.] The outfit - you look like a Themyscrian I know back home. Talk a little like her, too.
[He turns his attention back to the kneeling sub.]
And that's a question I've been asking myself for three months. Turn's out helping's harder than it looks.
blades of glory
Is this a trick? Did the city dig deep into his subconscious to pull out a very specific post-adolescent fantasy of his?
Play it cool, Jeff. He grins brightly. ]
Oh yeah, totally!
[ A beat, before he has to come clean: ]
Well. A few times. [ Honesty time! ] Iiii'm, ah... not very good at it. It's like I put skates on and then I forget how long my legs actually are.
no subject
At least he's honest about not being good though.]
The only way to get better at something is to keep doing it.
[Her smile grows and she looks back to the skaters.]
It looks fun. I've never tried it, so perhaps we can do it together.

You mean this? Ice skating? Yeah, I have, it's like ballet only without being absolutely certain of one's steps. Want me to help?
no subject
But with the ice skating... Diana looks at her dress and then back out to the rink.]
You might trip with the length of your dress...

Galleria
[She has been tied in a number of positions now. Lain out to be painted with hot wax, strapped in position to be paddled and now just hung "artistically" to allow the audience to see and touch. She can't help the scoffing sound she makes at the question.]
That depends on your definition of 'volunteer'...
no subject
So you are not willingly doing this?
[She steps closer and shakes her head.]
Let me help you down.

Was that even her actual name?
Yet watching her smile at the crowd made it impossible to ignore. He held a small grin. ] A few times. Did you want to?

Shadow.
[She looks back out to the ice skaters and then back at him and her eyes are widening in excitement.]
Oh, yes! I'd very much like to. What do I need to do?

GALLERIA
She'd gone out more for something to do, although she had been questioning that decision. It's not that she's a prude either, but the tastes of this place are sometimes a little extreme. Needless to say, whatever she may have been expecting, the exhibit hadn't been it.]
Depends. Sometimes they stick you between a rock and a hard place, so you choose the better of your options.
no subject
She glances over at the woman, her eyebrows lifting a bit. She's pretty, though the spots going down the sides of her face is interesting, nothing she's ever seen or read about before. She shakes her head.]
What do you mean? There's something worse than this?

I doubt how genuine the volunteering could be.
[ Maybe not the reassuring thing to say, but it's also true. ]
But they could also just be drugged. [ It's said dryly. ]
