« « « 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!! |

Mm...
[Hmm...]
No, I don't think that I will. Proceed.
dw ive nearly made that mistake and i actually play from this show, the sounds are v. similar
She looks over her shoulder at Saber, turns completely. Their eyes meet for a moment, like Hikari's expecting her to back down, but she can tell right away this isn't a fight she's going to win. And she wants out of here sooner rather than later.
She ducks her eyes away from Saber's, reaches down to the sides of her skirt, lifts it up. Casually as she can, she steps out of her shoes, then hooks her hands in her tights, sliding them down her thighs.]
If you enjoy watching this, maybe you're the person who set this up. [She hopes she's right about this. She doesn't want to look like an idiot.]
i was thinking of precure, too many pretty shoujo shows
Or maybe she recognizes a potential protege when she sees one, though she'd never, ever let on.]
I would not place a single finger upon your body that you did not yourself desire.
[Saber's corrupted, but that corruption only extends so far. It's a quiet hint to Hikari that, at the very least, she won't be attacked or assaulted. She's still knightly, and still king.]
too many girls named karen
[It's a taunt back, or maybe even a flirt - Hikari isn't sure herself. Flirting isn't something she's done before, but she's put on dozens of plays. She's been a princess, and a knight. A dashing rogue and the shadowy assassin. She even got to be Iago, once. So it's a skin she slips into easily, this back and forth.
She likes being on stage. She likes acting. And these days, she pretends more than she lets herself just be herself.]
You'll be keeping your hands to yourself, then.
[She pauses, then steps out of her tights, leans down to pick them up and set them on the couch. Next comes...
Mm. She hooks her fingers in her underwear, visible from the sides, and steps out of them, too, sliding them down her thighs, shifting her wrists to make sure her skirt drops back down as quickly as possible, covers her as much as it can. Her face is red as she steps out of her underwear, too, bites her lip as she stands back up straight. She sighs and spreads them out in her hands.
Light blue, with little stars on them.]
Don't enjoy yourself too much. [And, that said, she steps over to the painting, holds her underwear up to them. She feels faintly ridiculous, but the pattern matches up - her underwear has a proper design on it, not just a basic print.
Hurriedly, she balls her fist back up around them, brings them back down so Saber can't see them any longer, then presses down on the stars on the painting. There's a mechanical click noise, and it detaches slightly from the wall, enough to make it clear there's something behind it. Hikari reaches for it, with her free hand, and it swings aside like a door on a hinge, exposing a recess in the wall with a piece of paper in it.
... Hikari steps aside.]
That one's for you, I think. Can I put these back on?
no subject
And yet...]
For what reason were you so eager to shed them in the first place?
[Best be answering the King of Knights when she asks you a question, young lady. Because she wants to know, and will know.]
no subject
[She pauses - blanches as she realizes Saber's going to keep working. Begrudgingly, she steps back into her underwear, pulls them back up her leg. When she gets high enough, she uses one hand to keep her skirt in place, the other to pull them fully back into place.]
Isn't that an obvious question? I don't like being kept against my will. [She pauses.]
I'm not the kind of person to get embarrassed. Dorming with a dozen other girls means you see each other naked, anyway. It's something I'm used to.
no subject
Saber rises to meet Hikari, prowling ahead like a lazy cat.]
Hand me that piece of parchment. We carry on.
no subject
[Snark snark. Hikari wants to feel like she has some power here, even though she's the submissive.
But she wants this to move along, instead of getting stuck in the weeds, so she hands the paper over to Saber, still folded.]
no subject
...push.
[No, really. That it's it. That's all the paper says.]
no subject
[Hikari repeats it, blankly. Slowly, she tilts her head across at the other woman, black hair falling over her shoulder.]
... And that means?
no subject
[Of course, it won't work, and she even suspects as much, but it's worth a try before considering other options. Less pleasant ones.]
no subject
[But Hikari's already done one embarrassing thing, she might as well go along with this, no matter what comes up. Slowly, she turns on her heel, fingers tracing the wall. Push a brick - nope. Push the next brick - nope.]
... This isn't even a large room. [But this is still going to take forever.]
no subject
She's literally shoving everything over with extreme prejudice. This is not going to take long at all, actually.]
no subject
She turns around just in time to hop out of the way of a dresser, keep it from landing on her toes. She's very acrobatic - she lands perfectly on her feet, poised and balanced. Then glares over at Saber.]
That could have landed on me, you know.
no subject
[SABER.]
no subject
[She's been a bitter Japanese girl stuck in London. Don't play the snark game with her, Saber. She's better at it.]
no subject
One choice remains to us.
[Yes. That one.]
no subject
[A long silence passes between them.]
-- Which is?
no subject
[On second thought, maybe this could take awhile.]
You.
no subject
[Okay, she's just fucking with Saber now.]
no subject
[Uh-oh, sounds like someone is trying to find their way around their own self-imposed rules.]
no subject
[She pauses, stares blankly over at Saber, tilts her head as she realizes, vaguely, what Saber is implying.]
... How gentlemanly.
