« « « 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
 (CW: exhibitionism, voyeurism, dub/non-con)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
 (CW: exhibitionism)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
 (CW: exhibitionism, dubcon, drugging) 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!! |
no subject
But it's Magnus, and Magnus was his first, so George figures he can probably deal with whatever George might forget.
He pushes himself up to kiss Magnus and shifts onto his back, tugging Magnus with him, hands cradling his head. "You've got me, Magnus," he breathes between kisses. "I'm all yours."
no subject
He takes a second -- a prolonged kiss -- to simply breathe and realize that this is really happening. This isn't a dream. He has George back.
He whispers something against George's skin as he moves his lips down his jaw and to his neck. With newly slicked fingers, he slides his hand down to find George's entrance, sliding a finger inside to begin to prep him.
no subject
When Magnus' finger slips into him, he lets out a pleased laugh. "Magic." It's not that he hasn't seen magic in the Institute, but it's nothing like having Magnus in bed with him, nothing like Magnus at all. He arches his neck to give Magnus' more room, but then he's pulling Magnus into another kiss, wanting nothing between them, wanting to feel as much as possible.
no subject
He slides in another finger, stretching and coaxing him more open, until Magnus -- from memory -- knows he's ready. He breaks away from the kiss only so much that he can guide himself into George and watch the sight of his face as he does so.
no subject
His breath catches as Magnus pushes into him, eyes wide and dark. "Magnus," he gasps, voice rough, desperate. "Fuck...fuck, I love you."
He hadn't said it, before he'd disappeared. He'd wanted to, but everything was so fraught, so tender. Now it feels like if he doesn't say it as soon as he feels it, it will be too late.
no subject
His glamour drops but he shuts his eyes, only to rest his forehead against George's. He shifts George's hips so he can properly line himself up and push inside of him.
"I love you," he gasps in reply. "I never stopped."
no subject
"Beautiful," he breathes. "Oh, mo ghràdh..." He feels so much it almost hurts: want and love and aching arousal. He couldn't possibly put it into words, so he kisses Magnus instead, lifting his hips as he does to allow the warlock deeper.
no subject
He starts to roll his hips, slowly at first, wanting to take his time. But again that need seizes hold of him. Just a little taste is not enough. His thrusts turn more demanding in a heartbeat, a soft broken noise slipping from their kiss.
no subject
"I've missed you." He stutters out the words before pushing up into another kiss. He hasn't, and he knows it. Hasn't remembered any of this, but he feels that now, feels five years of missing his lover.
no subject
His fingers wrap around George's cock, feeling the heated weight of it familiar to his hand. He strokes him, just the way he remembers George liking, the motion coming back naturally. It's silly, perhaps, to remember that of all things, but it's just one of a hundred things that are flooding back to him now.
He says George's name on a stuttered breath before he moves his hips even faster, more demanding, needing that release that dangles so close, needing to wrap himself up in his lover until there's nothing left of himself. Just need, that's all.
no subject
no subject
He won't cry. He won't. But he'll come close.
no subject
"Magnus." His voice is tender, vulnerable, and his free arm wraps around Magnus' waist, holding him tight, like he's afraid Magnus might disappear.
no subject
He all but clings to his lover, shuts his eyes only to rest their foreheads together again.
"Lucy's gone," he says. Finally acknowledging something that he hadn't been ready to do, not at the front door. "For months now. I'd-- I'd given up hope of seeing either of you again."
no subject
He's not alone. He has another Submissive now, and George is glad for that, but it's a gladness colored by jealousy.
"You've been alright, though. Nothing...traumatic?" He knows how this place is.
no subject
"Oh, you know, same as always. Tumenalia came and went. There was..." He hesitates then, licking his lips to try and explain.
"There were ... demons. Not the demons of back home but sort of... the evil parts of ourselves made real."
no subject
His fingers still for a moment at the word 'demons' and pick up again when he hears the rest of it. "Oh, Magnus." He tilts his head to breathe the words against Magnus' forehead and follow them with a kiss.
"How long ago was Tumenalia?" Not, how long have you had to get over it? but, how long have you been torturing yourself over this?
no subject
"December," he replies. "Not long."
no subject
"I'm sorry I wasn't here." It's not his fault, and he knows that, but he's still sorry.
no subject
"It's..." It's not his fault, nothing to apologize for, it would have made a different? Except it might have, to have George beside him through that whole thing. But instead he had others, and that was okay.
"I wasn't alone," he assures him. "I'm okay."
He's not 100%, despite exteriors, but he's okay.
no subject
He doesn't press it further, instead giving in to his desire to let his hand roam over Magnus' back as if mapping it under his touch, reminding himself of every ridge and line and curve.
no subject
"Alec was one of them," he says. "Alec from my world. He's my Submissive."
no subject
"That must," he begins, hesitating over nearly every word, "have been good for you."
no subject
"George," he says. "I love you. That hasn't changed in the year you haven't even been here. That's not going to change ever."
no subject
It's not as though he's seen the Magnus and Alec in his universe often, but they're occasionally in the London Institute, and he's seen their little family grow together. It's so much more than he ever had with Magnus, so much more than he ever can.
"And how do you feel about him?"
