TDM #16


« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »

« « « 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:
  • Naked Submissives have been bound and posed with their bodies arched in visually pleasing positions. They are surrounded with candles burning around them and guests are invited to drip the hot wax across their bodies to add to the artwork that is their naked skin.
  • Zap your lover or the volunteers with an electrical wand and discover the way it can make the skin tingle and muscles tense in just the right place at just the right moment.
  • The image of cum dripping from a well used Submissive is considering something to appreciate visually so stations have been set up with glory holes and kneeling participants to have their faces and buttocks painted over the course of the day.
  • A variety of whips, canes and paddles have been set out next to padded benches for Submissives to bend themselves over. The marks they leave are something to be proud of.
  • No art display in Duplicity is complete without an ode to bondage, one room will be entirely devoted to participants being suspended from the ceiling, held in positions that will test their stamina and flexibility and leave the most gorgeous bruises.

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!!

( even if this was a choice they both made, he'll probably still apologize later because that's...just how he is. but he's not going to regret this. it feels too good and she feels too good and that's not something the hot chocolate could control. it just is.

he makes a sound of pleasure against her mouth as he continues moving, feeling the low burn in his stomach that he recognizes. but that doesn't stop him from moving harder and faster, hips pumping into hers while he tries to find her mouth for another sloppy kiss.

he grabs at the sheets of the bed, giving himself something to pull against so he can sink himself deeper into her when he thrusts in. he pants, mumbling words under his breath that won't remember later. )
danced: baby i could bring my shame (bring your love)

[ as far as she's concerned, he doesn't owe her one. in fact, she feels like she's the one who owes him. all he'd been trying to do was help someone he'd seen in distress. (although deep down, she knows neither of them are at fault; this place is going to get you to do what it wants you to do. they'd just learned that lesson in a fairly unique way.) but what they're doing isn't something she'll regret, either.

she clings tight to him as he keeps moving, her mouth colliding with his in a hot, wet tangle. she thrusts back against his hips as his movements get faster, her own movements becoming more erratic as the pleasure burning through her goes from being just shy of enough to too much and she starts to get overwhelmed.

he pants and mutters into her skin and she groans, arching beneath him once more and crying out as she reaches her climax, pleasure and relief flowing through her. she moans, sinking back against the bed and pressing her mouth against his cheek and jaw again, her hand tangling back into his hair as her hips roll a few more times, riding out the aftershocks. ]

( he doesn't feel her come apart because he's so caught up in how he feels. he keeps moving harder and faster, mouth pressed against hers but not really kissing, more just sharing breath.

and when she does fall apart, he's still pushing into her, still trying to chase his own pleasure and he manages to catch it just a few moments after she comes.

he buries himself into her and holds there, tucking his face against her neck and gasping out his orgasm and pleasure against her skin. his hips still move against her, shallow strokes to try and prolong both their pleasure before they slow and stop and he just lays there against her, breathing hard and trying to come down from what they'd just done. )
danced: i got my scars right here (i got my heart right here)

[ she feels it more that hears it when he starts to come apart, his movement growing more erratic as he keeps pressing into her, quicker and quicker until he suddenly slows, hips rolling a few more times until he stills, panting against her skin. her body moves with his, a few languid thrusts against his hips and a final arch of her back until he lays fully against her.

she doesn't do anything but breathe for a little while, but when she moves again it's subtle, as if she's testing her ability to. her fingertips rub back and forth over the skin of his shoulder and she turns her head towards his face, her forehead pressing against his cheek. ]

( as soon as it all happens, he feels that need lessen. he can still feel it thrumming through him but it's tolerable, not giving him that itch that just had to be scratched.

he sighs, closing his eyes and wondering what he should do now. he's comfortable and warm right now but he thinks that maybe he should roll off her, move, let her breathe.

he doesn't do it immediately since she doesn't seem to be rushing him off. )


You all right?
danced: (these voices won't leave me alone)

[personal profile] danced 2021-03-03 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ if she wanted him off her, she could shift away or push him off of her. she's not feeling the need to do either, content for him to remain in her space, still touching her. the heat and desire are still there, but much more subdued and easier for her to deal with, leaving her able to focus on the world around him. she can feel his heart beating, pressed against her ribcage. ]

Are you?
heliophilous: (121)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2021-03-04 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

( yeah, he's good. he's a little confused by what just happened because he's usually not like that but he doesn't regret it either and it doesn't sound like she does either.

after a few quiet moments, he finally pushes himself off to the side, sighing but not making a move to leave. )


Don't usually do that kind of thing.
danced: and i'm okay (i can take it all without you)

[personal profile] danced 2021-03-05 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't, either. Usually.

[ which isn't to say she hasn't before - a thousand years is a long time, and the twister had seen a lot of people, strangers she'd tried to avoid spotting in the crowd once the show started because she knew they wouldn't end up surviving the night. she regrets the strangers less than she regrets the commitments she'd made; the strangers hadn't ended up turning on her.

he shifts to the side but doesn't leave her bed, and she turns onto her side to face him a little better. ]

( marcos doesn't say anything for a few moments, breathing quietly and trying to get his head back on straight. he can tell she's looking at him and, after a second, he looks back to her. )

No idea what to do now.

( there's some muted laughter as he says it because it's true. he really doesn't know what to do now. he hasn't been in this place for long at all and he's already been knocked off balance. )
danced: (spk13988256)

[personal profile] danced 2021-03-05 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Me neither.

[ she's not sure if either of them should go back out, whether or not they're still under the effect of whatever had been in the hot chocolate. she's also not sure if he wants to leave yet, or if she wants him to. ]

You can stay. If you want.
heliophilous: (117)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2021-03-05 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
( marcos swipes a hand over his face, taking a few breaths and then glancing over at her. )

I won't stay too long.

( but he doesn't think he wants to go just yet. he has no idea if whatever was in that hot chocolate's out of system or if he needs more time.

might as well be safer than sorry. )
danced: (the fever; the focus)

[personal profile] danced 2021-03-06 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ she can't be sure yet, either. she feels a little calmer, her blood a little less heated, but who knows if that'll last or if it's just temporary relief before it starts up again? she shifts away from him a little bit as he gathers himself, trying not to look at him as he does and focusing on pushing her hair out of her eyes and off her face as he does. then he glances back at her, mentions he won't stay much longer, and she nods. ]

Okay.
