« « « 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!! |

black tie affair
[ ooc: Gwen is 18! and also she has a fourthwalling permissions post that other Marvel characters are going to want to check out plskthx ]
Ride
[Hey Gwen, look! It's an alien!
... Okay probably not the most amazing thing she's ever seen. But hey, grey alien girl with horns like cat ears talking to her, that's something, right?]
Oh, wait, is it to cull the population? Or to make sure the weaker ones can't breed? I guess you'd have to do that if nature's not taking care of the purrblem, huh?
no subject
Uh, I mean generally people don't have other humans for pets. Outside of like... roleplay in the bedroom, you know?
no subject
The universe would be so much better if she were a main character]Well, yeah, but you were the one making that comment. Besides, trolls don't usually have pets at all.
[Hey cool, she got out the name of her species without making the human ask for it specifically. Score point for Nepeta!]
I mean, there are our Lusii, but they raise us. It's purractically the oppawsite.
no subject
that's what fanfiction and rp are for!!And yeah, she definitely thinks she means internet trolls, and doesn't think to put two and two together that that might be her species. ]
Weird name for parents... But hey, to each universe their own!
But yeah, I mean trolls are kind of subhuman [ she's gonna feel so bad once her mistake is pointed out ] but I don't think they're actually going around putting people on leashes... Just posting about it on twitter.
no subject
[And if that wasn't enough of a clue that yes, that really is the name of her species, she frowns.]
I'm gonna assume you're talking about a diffurent kind of troll, since you humans seem to have dozens of things you use the name of my species fur. I'll tell you right now, we're not at all like any of them.
[Well, okay, some of them are like internet trolls. But only the jerks.]
no subject
Cool. So like, what planet are you from?
no subject
It's called Alternia. And whatever joke you just thought of, it's almost certainly been made befur.
[Probably by Dave.]

black tie affair
She should be happy the girl has a good sense of style (pink is always best) but Nonon's not feeling quite so elated by the expectation set on them with this stupid game. ]
Listen up, blondie.
[ Once outside, mostly away from the crowds of the party, Nonon finally opens up and speaks her mind. In some kind of teal blue party dress, with pink high heels to match her hair she's put up in a bun, she'd clearly gone all out for the party. But where she her appearance said one thing about the type of girl she is, her hoarse sort voice with that angry tone of hers paints another picture. ]
Just because they told us we had to go home together doesn't mean I'm we're going to sleep together, got it?!
no subject
[ The whole Dominant/Submissive thing aside, Gwen has zero interest in forcing anyone to do anything they don't wanna do. ]
No worries from me, I don't really expect you to do anything but like... paint my nails or whatever. And I'll paint yours too!
no subject
[ Not that Nonon expected that to be more difficult but... yeah she expected it to be more difficult. Everyone else she's met here has not been so lackadaisical about all this. Nonon can only wonder if this girl understands what she's in for. ]
no subject
[ She doesn't look too Disturbed about it, either. She's cheerful as she slings her penguin backpack over her shoulders to withdraw a pair of flats for the walk home. ]
Don't worry, though. This isn't my first new-universe situation. I'll get the hang of it sooner or later!
no subject
[ How is that even relevant here? Well... it's not. but Nonon still feels like she needs to explain anyways.
...Though okay, that backpack is actually super cute and Nonon's mad she doesn't have one. She's got no such way to change though, and later, she'll probably have to realize she has no other clothes at all... but for now she's just standing there with her hands on her hips. ]
...Now what are you doing?
no subject
[ Sheesh, what's so bad about this place? Sure, it sucks for the people who have to live in the Down but Gwen doesn't have to! ]
I don't wanna walk all the way back in heels. [ Then she looks at the other girl's feet. ] What size are you? Do you want these flats? I could go barefoot, I guess...
no subject
I'm fine! [ Sure her feet will probably hurt by the time they get back to Gwen's apartment but right now she's feeling way too proud to accept pity. ]
What's your name, anyway?

[‘Course it’s a weird fuckin’ sex thing. Why wouldn’t it be a weird sex thing? That’s just her luck. She just wants to get somewhere, but no. They gotta make it a weird sex thing. The universe is pointing and laughing at Harleen right now.
Whatever. She’s just gonna kinda jab the kid on the bed. Maybe she knows something.]
Yo! Rise and shine, lazybones, I’m not plannin’ on bein’ stuck here with you all day!
[ooc: not a mahvel babeh but feel free to fourth wall since she’s from one of the Big Two]
no subject
Oh hey... It's everyone's favorite cosplay. 'Sup?
no subject
[Even she has a penchant for dry humor, Gwen. It earns the fourth-a wall breaker another jab.]
You plannin’ on layin’ there all day? ‘Cuz I dunno bout’chu, but I sure as Hell got better places to be than trapped in somebody’s freaky sex dungeon.
no subject
[ She yawns and stretches and pushed herself off the bed. Though, the comment about this being a freaky sex dungeon gets her thinking. ]
Probably should've used a black light before lying down on the bed, huh? Yuckola.
no subject
[Harley taps the walls, curious.]
So what are we lookin’ at here? Some kinda...escape-the-room dealio?
no subject
no subject

Deadpool. Sheesh, why do all the edgy types gotta slap “Death” or “Dead” or “Dying” onto the front’a their hero names? It just ain’t original!

Aww. You just keep having nice dreams and I'll have us out by the time you wake up. [ Somehow ... ] I hope.
[ Yeah, he probably can't do this on his own. ]

Eventually, he does decide to wake her up. She's probably much smarter than he is. ] Um, miss ...
[ It still feels so mean. Gently, he taps her on the shoulder. ] Miss?
