« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »
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. 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. Either way it's raining! Still. Enjoy your free time until orientation! Participation is mandatory by all new arrivals. |
 The day after stepping through the door and participating in orientation, LIERS are assembled together in the Up for a tour of Duplicity in its entirety. 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. |
 The rain continues to drizzle, but it’s finally slowing enough for the citizens of Duplicity to catch their breath. With the influx of new LIERS, people make quick work of fixing the damages from Tumenalia—a combination of preparation and wanting to welcome more participants to orientation. Typically, travel between the Up and the Down is rather seamless with the use of the elevators, and with the end of the holiday comes a regular schedule for transportation between the two areas of Duplicity. Yet, mysterious powers are at play once again. Or so it seems. Stepping onto the elevators does not deliver its occupants to their desired location; instead, they are ushered into rooms designed to be escaped. There are a variety of themes, but the most popular seem to be Room A, Room B, and Room C. While they follow the usual guidelines for any escape room, there are a few “catches” that might not be noticeable at first. Each clue is only accessible to those of the corresponding designation. Submissives are responsible for unlocking the first and third of the three clues, and even if a Dominant figures out what it is and how to use it, they will not be any closer to escaping unless the Submissive plays a key role in interacting with these clues. Things to note about these rooms: the third clue requires some sort of sexual engagement to be considered “clear” of it. After the allotted time of one (1) hour, if those inside haven’t managed to escape, the Submissives will be removed from the room and the Dominants will remain until they can successfully help the new Submissives escape the room. Each time, the clues will be reset and change; they will never be the same. |
 Meanwhile, in the Down, a local charity organization has sent out notices for a black-tie fundraiser to be held during the evening to raise awareness of homeless Submissive children. Invitations are sent via the devices, and there are even fliers posted all across the Up and the Down. If in attendance of the event, the waitstaff will be taking down the names of all uncontracted Submissives; no other explanation of what it’s for is mentioned throughout the evening. And while donations are completely voluntary, any contributions made helps to further the main endeavor of the cause. However, it seems most people are present to network and find someone that might fill a contract slot. So, eat, drink, and dance until it all winds down and everyone decides to go home. The only “catch”? Dominants draw the name of one Submissive to accompany them back to the Up, and those who are left will be paired up for the sake of no one leaving alone. |
Please read carefully. Dominant and Submissive TDM assignments: All characters whose first name begins with the following ( A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, S, U, W, and Y ) are Dominants. All characters whose first name begins with the following ( B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P, R, T, V, X, and Z ) are Submissives. Players with characters that are a number use the first letter to spell that number. To use this TDM as a door pass please link this on your app and place whether it is dominant or submissive. For the escape room prompt players can make up the clues they find. They may be extremely sexual or something simple like moving a painting off a wall. Also, any locations throughout Duplicity are available for TDM prompts as well! Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!! |
Peter Parker | Marvel's Spider-Man | Submissive(-Man)
« « « OUT OF CLUTTER FIND SIMPLICITY
[Nothing worse can happen, he thinks before waking up in this place, than what has already happened. New York was safe again, but the cost — well. Peter was already trying to breathe through what happened in the days after Otto's arrest. And then suddenly, a flurry of — of doors. Being bathed, being healed (and boy did he have some doozies), and then being essentially shoved out into this fucked-up world with nothing to his name but a gown they give him until his spidey-suit is processed and returned. The Down is ugly and muggy and reminds him of the most neglected subsections of NYC.
He stands in the rain, in his sad little gown, looking completely lost despite the little slip of paper that shows the address of said motel. Usually it's no big deal; he even still gets lost in New York, from time to time.
He's just also kind of mentally and emotionally lost, too.]
» » » LIES TRAVEL IN COMPANY
[Deep breath. One. Two. Three. Holy shit.
Peter always knew there was potential for world-jumping — other universes, branches of yourself or outright different places altogether. You can't be a scientist with radioactive powers who swings around in a spider-themed costume and not think about the potential for butterfly effects or timetravel or anything absolutely wild. But if you told him he'd end up in some perverse world where an entire half of the people are treated like garbage, he'd say 'ha, funny, I didn't know you read so much YA lit'.
But here he is, standing on a train that's full of kneeling people.
A fella with slicked hair and an irritated look tells him to get on his knees, he doesn't want to have to look over him to see through the window. Peter's from New York City and just stares like he's lost his mind.]
... No thanks?
[Like, sure, he got the memo he's submissive. But did he keep the memo? Nope. This guy looks ready to throw hands, and Peter just watches the guys blood pressure go up with a harmless sort of confusion; he's Spider-Man on the downlow, punches from normal joes aren't anything to worry about, you know?
Surely this will work out just fine.]
« « « A. WAIST. OF. LEEWAYS. | Room C
Are you serious right now? C'mon.
[Okay, fine. He's blushing at all the kinky stuff hanging around in here.
He's 23-years-old and definitely not a blushing virgin, but what in the holy hell is wrong with these people? Or this place? This is insane. He sits down on the bed and folds his arms, huffing. You're not gonna get him, city. He's not gonna be a part of your weird 50 Shades Darker thing. He's gonna use a ball gag to play catch. He's gonna use a whip for his Indiana Jones Halloween costume. This bed would be a great place for a harmless nap.]
» » » THE KEY TO HEARTS
[Okay, so. Invitation to something that probably has a catch.
... But he's starved, and he's low on income, and he wants to eat the entire food bar. So that's exactly what he's gonna do. He's gonna just linger over by the food and can be found making multiple passes through the whole thing, whole plates, no mercy. Sorry if you're trying to talk to him while he's got a whole bread roll in his fucking maw.]
LIES - fourthwalling permission post in journal
What he means to say is, he only listens to me. Now... Why don't we go find a seat somewhere else and let this nice man enjoy the view, hm? Whaddaya say, Petey-ma-boy?
[ She gives him some heavy eyebrow waggles. C'mon, go with her here... ]
no subject
A good keysmashing is in order here! dsfdkjlgjflgk. But once he's deciphered nobody is out to murder him, he just lets Gwen drag him around in her rather harmless one-armed embrace. Even if he's a little embarrassed and mildly disappointed at potentially letting his guy get what he wants; he's a bully, you know, and bullies suck.]
But—
[Wait, she knows his name? Confusion cripples any desire to keep fighting her on this.]
Fine, fine, I'm — hey, I'm going!
[K i d.]
no subject
Sorry about that. It's just that guy was looking pretty punchy and I don't think you really want to go there.
Clutter
He walks through the down, stopping to buy an umbrella from one of the shabby street vendors, although not before his hair is soaked to damp spirals dripping into his eyes. It's always important to know territory that doesn't belong to you better than you know your own.
Submissives have paused to eye him as he walks, taking advantage of a freedom they don't have to explore unhindered. But he hasn't stopped to talk to anyone - until he sees a figure almost blurred out by the viciousness of the rain, hospital gown looking like it might dissolve before long.
Gabriel stops, looking at him for a long moment. Then turns away.
When he turns back, there's a black stripe running down his throat.]
Hey.
[He approaches carefully, from the side but well within Peter's line of vision, the way you might go up to a wounded animal. Carefully, he reaches to take the slip of paper from Peter's hand.]
If you don't use this soon, you won't be able to read it.
[But Gabriel's got it memorised now, just in case. He holds the umbrella out, over Peter's head.]
I promise, it'll be better than out here.
leeways
You ready for the super fun adventure inside this sexy torture room?
[ He's not making it easier, is he. ]

. . . WADE IS A GENTLEMAN AND TOTALLY LOOKING AT PETER'S FACE.
Being the gentleman he is, he shrugs his ugly plaid and wool jacket off and holds it out to him to reveal an equally as ugly Bea Arthur tank top. ] If you promise to treat my coat with love and respect you can borrow it. I also don't charge for directions. I'm headed back home anyway. You're new, right?
[ He had been in Peter's place. Freaked out, almost naked, and kinda afraid. ]
CLUTTER
[ It's a total mess. He's used to less than great (or decent, really) living conditions, but even for him, this is a whole new level. And honestly, it's not like he's got much to offer to other people here, but that doesn't mean he's going to leave someone who very much looks like he needs help on his own. Guy looks completely lost, and he can't blame him — the whole set-up is just as messy as the place itself. ]
I know, the view out here is just about stunning, but maybe basking in its glory under the rain isn't exactly the best of plans. Need some help getting around?
