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 clear plastic top and pants along with clear plastic boots 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 wet and rainy. Very, very rainy. |
» » » ALL ABOARD
 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. |
« « « RAIN RAIN GO AWAY
 (cw: aphro, dub-con, violence, marking)Ice and chilly weather have begun to give way to rain instead, with overcast skies and dark clouds a seemingly constant sight. While the overabundance of rain is an annoyance and comes with the usual series of problems, such as leaky ceilings, mold growth, and gutters or storm drains overflowing, this time the rain carries with it another problem altogether. A weather advisory warning is broadcast to every device, as well as on news networks and radio. The rain, at least for a few days, is not ordinary rain. Whether you're in the Up or the Down, when the water hits clothing it eats away at it. The more water it absorbs, the more the material disintegrates until the wearer is left naked. When the rain comes in contact with skin (or is ingested) the effects seem to differ depending on where you are in Duplicity. In the Up, it's relatively harmless and merely has an aphrodisiac effect, leaving individuals feeling hot and bothered, more sociable and touchy feely. Those in the Down, however, are not so lucky. As the rain seeps through the soil from the Up, it ends up laced with toxins, causing a range of less pleasant side effects for anyone unfortunate enough to come into contact with it. Aside from the aphrodisiac, those who get caught in the rain may develop an uncomfortable, itchy rash, leaving them looking rather spotty for a few days. Those who can't resist scratching at themselves will find a newfound pleasure to the relief it brings and start to crave the feeling or sight of similar marks. In worst case scenarios, individuals will become addicted to marking themselves and others, perhaps even to the point of breaking skin. Effects may last for several hours after exposure and will stack with repeated exposures. In all cases, getting off will bring temporary relief but will not alleviate the symptoms entirely. Plastic coverings seem to be unaffected by the rain and, as word spreads, the Natives in Duplicity form a mad rush buying up umbrellas. Unless a character is lucky, they may find themselves unable to purchase - or even borrow - one. Theft of umbrellas becomes widespread in the Down, often escalating to violence, and even the Up isn't safe from thugs trying to steal and resell this suddenly hot commodity. There's another side to all of this, however. Due to the shortage of umbrellas, it isn't uncommon to see Dom/Sub pairs sharing umbrellas together. If anything, it's encouraged as a means to strengthen their bond. Enterprising Subs and Doms alike may even sell their "services" to escort individuals who would otherwise end up soaked. |
« « « SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME
 (cw: substance abuse, altered states, coercion, fluids, physical body changes)A new "holistic" pharma company named SQuIRT is opening up in Duplicity and is paying a pretty penny for people to trial run their new line of supplements. These supplements are supposed to increase a person's vitality and energy levels, but the side effects are what the company is really looking out for. Some of the side effects aren't so bad and could include:
While others might find their own reaction to be a little more severe:
Subjects must take the supplements for at least a week, otherwise they'll receive no compensation for their troubles. All new arrivals will find themselves automatically enrolled in these trials, whether they want to be or not, and expected to report to the clinic. Of course they don't have to take the supplements, but the payout is certainly enticing, especially for those unfortunate enough to be branded Submissives. |
« « « STICKY FINGERS
 (cw: violence)Crime runs rampant in the Down as always but now, with the nastier side effects of the rain creating an ongoing problem, some unsavory types are sneaking their way into the Up where the effects aren't so hazardous. The result is an uptick in crime in places that are usually considered safe. Be careful how you carry yourself - and your valuables. Those who look like easy pickings may find their pockets empty. Cameras in public areas are being vandalized as well, while homes and businesses are seeing a rise in graffiti. Most of the graffiti is merely obscene, but some is outright seditious. Good luck explaining the latter to the authorities if you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of the smaller gangs that has a presence in the Down is taking particular advantage of the rain's disruption to expand their territory into the Up. Known as the Bulldogs, their members are young men and they have a reputation for violent muggings and assaults - mainly targeting Submissives. They loiter in groups near the train and the elevator between the Up and the Down to ambush the alone and unwary. At night, they also prey on those walking home from bars or clubs who may not fully have their wits about them. In addition to beating up their victims for money, some of the Bulldogs are engaging in an informal competition over who can steal the most umbrellas - with bonus points awarded for whatever else they feel like. LIERs are worth double points by default, so watch out! |
« « « 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: Players can choose whether to assign their character as a Dominant or Submissive on this TDM for the Door Pass for March Applications only. For May's Application round, threads started here may be used as samples however they will not be eligible for a Door Pass in May. Characters will need to use a thread from May's TDM, using those Door Pass rules, for an application after the March round. 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! THERE WILL BE NO APPLICATION ROUND IN APRIL Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have a good time!! |

Passable? Her eye gives a barely perceiveable twitch. No, she won’t lash out at this man. “My cocktails are what got me hired here,” Liz says in a tense voice. To anyone who doesn’t know her, it would be difficult to tell from hearing her tone alone if she was wounded or angry, but anyone who’s met her would know that she’s seething. She’s had enough of Kilgrave’s shit and she’s on the verge of telling him so.
“Downstairs. Would you like me to take you there?” She smiles again, but her smile is a little tighter than usual. It’s getting harder to fake a pleasant attitude.
no subject
"Downstairs, please," he said simply. He picked up his drink and followed her down the stairs. The little (literally underground) casino reminds him of some scummy criminal private halls he'd been to. They usually had all the luxuries tucked away deep in the underbelly of a shithole. He liked robbing criminals; they tended not to report things on the news, or even to their thugs lest they lose credibility with their peers.
"Does your list of duties include dealer?" he asked.
no subject
Liz leads the scumbag down the stairs to the gambling area, disappointed to see it humming with activity as usual. She doesn’t like the thought of there being so many people around this man but at the same time maybe a crowd buys her some safety.
His words catch her attention and she glances back at him. Liz shakes her head. “I pour drinks and wait tables.” She doesn’t like the thought of him influencing any of her co-workers, but it looks like he’s headed in that direction whether she deals or not.
no subject
Kilgrave's attention largely moves away from Liz for the next few hours, but he continues to wave her down for drink refills and to occasionally feel her up. She notices his collection of 'winnings' continue to grow throughout the night. If he's doing something shady (which she will likely correctly assume he is) he isn't doing it blatantly enough to notice without sitting down and watching him.
Three hours later, Kilgrave is rather tipsy and there's a handful of people scattered throughout the bar pretty peeved at the purple man for cleaning them out. He waves her down again, grabbing her by the neck and pulling her ear to her mouth.
"Have your cocktails gotten you a lot of tips tonight, Liz?"
no subject
Liz comes to his table when she’s waved over, shockingly putting up little resistance as he pulls her down close to speak to her. He’s even creepier when under the influence and his breath reeks of alcohol.
“I’ve made some money,” she answers vaguely. Liz always gets good tips. The bartenders at Mendacity are great at what they do and the customers recognize that.
no subject
"Head into the ladies room, and discard your underwear."
no subject
“I’ve had enough of you. Just… Please leave. You’ve made your money. You’ve had your fun with me. Isn’t that enough?” Her tone is one of exasperation. She wonders what this asshole was like as a toddler.
no subject
"The bra too," he added casually.
no subject
“You’re bad, you know that?” Her voice has a flirtatious lilt to it and the expression on her face is just as flirtatious.
no subject
"Now add a little bit of that energy to your customers," he said. "A little hand on the hip here, flash a little underskirt there. I'll wager you the tips will come in much faster than what your 'cocktails' bring in."
He gave her a hearty slap on the ass as soon as she turned around.
no subject
She walks off to continue her shift as instructed, flirting shamelessly with her customers and getting more than a few odd looks from her coworkers who are used to her getting prickly when the men at the bar get too handsy.
no subject
He approached her from behind, his hand replaced on her lower back once more, whispering in a breath heavy of liquor. "Take your break, there's a room not too far from here." In this city there was always a room not to far from here, he had found.
no subject
“What did you have in mind?” She knows exactly what he has in mind. It doesn’t even bother her. This evening has been great! Liz is finally able to let loose instead of constantly worrying about what curveball Duplicity is going to throw her way next and it’s fun. She should thank Kilgrave, right?
no subject
He picks up the umbrella and unfolds it, lifting it up with one hand and wrapping the other around Liz's shoulder. His stance is moderately unbalanced, and his grip is decidedly uninhibited as he takes a palmful of her right breast in his hand. He brazenly fondles her through her shirt, her flesh feeling marvelous without a bra as a barrier.
Only a few buildings down was a by-the-hour motel that was so streamlined he only had to insert a card into a slot and instantly a room is open and ready for them.
no subject
Walking with him in the rain, she has a little bit of an extra bounce in her step. She hasn’t felt this good in this place for a long time. A little giggle passes her lips as he fondles her out in the open like that. It feels so bold. Liz decides that she likes it. Her hand finds its way to his ass and gives it a grab, reciprocating the touch.
As soon as the door is open, Liz rushes inside, pulling Kilgrave in with her, smiling from ear to ear. “C’mere, you…”
no subject
The room was minimalist but not trashy looking. Some mood lights, a comfortable bed. He followed Liz's momentum to pull himself into a kiss. His hand wrapped around her neck and strongly pulled her deeper into it, pressing his tongue into her mouth and finding her tongue to caress with his own. His other hand pressed into her back and ran down her spine. It finally stopped on her ass, which he grabbed hard, pulling her hips into his.
no subject
First comes her shirt, a tattered, black piece of cloth she pulls over her head to reveal full, supple breasts. Liz then pulls the zipper of her skirt down teasingly, letting the skirt fall off of her hips and then kicking it to the side. She steps out of her shoes and saunters back over to him, completely naked.
no subject
He reaches with his right hand around her neck. His fingers move up, combing through her long hair, eventually closing into a fist full of her hair and pulling roughly backwards and downwards, forcing her head back to expose her neck. His other hand roughly grabbed her right breast and started roughly fondling her. He leaned forward, his lips finding her vulnerable neck, locking onto her sensitive skin and roughly suckling.
no subject
“God, this is amazing…” Liz feels free and wild. She wonders if this is how her sister felt in high school all those years when she was misbehaving. Of course, Rosa was high most of the time, but this feels like a high.
Her hands travel down to his pants, blindly unfastening them as best as she can manage. It’s going to take less clothing for them to get where Liz wants to go.
no subject
He bites her, just as he promised, his teeth digging into sensitive flesh, hard enough to wrench whatever scream he can from her.
no subject
She pulls away and looks him in the eyes with those deep browns of hers. “We need to get you naked.” A grin spreads across her face.
no subject
"I'm agreeable to that," he says. His fingers start unfastening buttons, first his coat, then his shirt. As the shirt slowly parted, a toned and lightly hairy chest emerges from the fabric. "While I work on that, you work on this," he told her, thrusting his hips slightly for emphasis.
no subject
Holding onto his hips for balance, she sinks down to her knees, not really minding the rough carpet of the by-the-hour motel room all that much. She slips his cock into her mouth and expertly sucks at its length, bobbing her head up and down while her hands cup his balls.
no subject
He reaches down and runs his hands through her long locks, caressing her head, stroking her behind the ears and on the forehead. After a few moments of this, he grabs her more roughly and controls her head, holding it in place as he instead thrusts his own hips, fucking her mouth with his cock. His eyes are locked like lasers onto her eyes, dark and intense.
no subject
She sucks and moans, her fingers digging into his hips. Her big brown eyes look up into his. It still hasn’t occurred to her that something is terribly wrong with this. Liz is stuck in the mindset that she’s having a good time and as long as he’s around her that isn’t going to change.
