« « « OUT OF CLUTTER FIND SIMPLICITY

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.

» » » LIES TRAVEL IN COMPANY

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.

« « « MOD & OOC NOTES

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!!

1. LIES TRAVEL IN COMPANY

[A man with an eye-patch and a cloak, equipped with a bow and arrows, sits aboard this train, and is seemingly determined to make other passengers uncomfortable.]

My, these "trains" are stimulating. This is my first time. I especially liked the part when we entered that tunnel, the way this long carriage just slid right in...

[He gives a low laugh and glances around, measuring the responses of nearby passengers to his thickly-applied innuendo. There's a couple good results; a poisonous look from a woman in front of him, and an older man who coughs as he recovers from briefly choking.]

[That abount summarizes most of the trip, but he won't have to make his own entertainment much longer. The train pulls in to its station and he's pressured to depart. He crosses his arms and reflects on the glimmering skylines of the Up that they had passed by, compared to the dismal Down they see before them. He grows serious, talking more quietly to himself now.]

They call this a major social class split? If I'm getting to sleep indoors instead of the gutters and am free of biting rats, that means I'm stationed in luxury compared to the slums I lived through.

2. THE KEY TO HEARTS

[Homeless children... well, for Niles, their plight strikes deep into the broken particles of his own past. He was one of them a time ago. And though he blames most people for their own circumstances, he knows the harsh struggle of abandonment. He thought to steer clear of the ball, but showed himself when he heard the cause, in order to surreptitiously drop the tiny amount of funds he had accumulated into the donation box. Not much, since he's from the Down, but if they're going to do something like build an orphanage for those kids he'll do what he can to help.]

[With that done, he hangs around the buffet table and watches a few of the dominants. He plays with the thought of doing a little Robin Hooding, but ultimately resists the temptations of returning to his old ways of thievery. Still, anyone looking for food at this end of the table will at least have to suffer his presence.]

Is there something you desire? Try this dish covered in sauce. It will feel so good when it fills your mouth.

3. WILDCARD

[Honestly, she's just (quietly) seething that Submissive children were even a real thing. This coming from someone labelled a Submissive. But point being, is that children never asked to be judged and labelled. And yet here they are.

On the other hand, they still need the help. What is done is done, and she must investigate the issue. Is this truly for a worthy cause? She will have to find out.

But also, she really...likes...food...]

Hmm? [She looks over, having heard him and so her attention is caught. Looking over, she tries to find what he was indicating.]

The dish covered in sauce...oh! Do you mean these sausages covered in white cream? I have yet to try it. I heard it was also filled with cheese.

[I am so sorry.]

Yes! Those are the ones. I could swallow those all day. Would you like me to feed one to you?

[He stabs one with a fork and holds it up, wobbling it enticingly and looking far too pleased, like a cat presenting a dead bird.]

[Can't believe he's actually shaking a wiener at her face. Either way, she's sure this isn't proper protocol, but could she refuse food? No.]

I have yet to taste it, so...very well, I'll give it a try.

[And she opens her mouth, ready to consume, hoping it's not too steaming hot of a load.]

[A little taken aback by her going along with this and not telling him off, but he gamely nudges the food at her mouth.]

Go ahead, open wider!
