TDM #2
« « « 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!! |

Do... you mean that you needed sex to survive in Chaldea or... ? Actually, I changed my mind. I don't want to know.
[do your thing, Shuten.
HE'S TAKING A LARGE SWIG NOW. HE NEEDS IT.]
no subject
[ SHUTEN NO. ]
no subject
spittles all over himself from choking on his booze. it went down the wrong pipe. it's all over his chin.
he reaches up and wipes at it with the back of his hand.]
No!?
no subject
[ genuinely surprised! maybe robin's more of a prude than she thought. ]
You don't feel like your entire body might whither away into dust if you don't feel something hot flowing through your entire being, almost making your brain melt for how good it feels?
1/2
but uh. what is this? what's happening? stop talking, Shuten.]
Didn't I say I didn't want to know?!
[he feels funny???? or maybe that's only the burn and warmth that the whiskey imparts. his limbs feel leaden, and his head--]
no subject
Ugh, what the hell? I feel dizzy. What kind of drink is this?
[what kind of lightweight.........]
no subject
and she wasn't even trying.
maybe she should take advantage of this?? bang the hobo?? ]
... Are you quite alright?
no subject
he's everyone's slave.]
I'm fine. [totally fine as he lays down on the boxes he was sitting on because the world is spinning around him.
totally fine.]
You drank an entire bottle and all you did was make a little "hic" sound.
,KSFDSKFJSL;KDF roBIN PLEASE
.... [ but shuten laughs, like the sound of a ringing bell, raising a hand to her lips. ] Robin, Robin...! Perhaps you are unaware, but my name literally means "the little drunkard." [ hah HAH hahahAHaha ] Alcohol is as much a part of me as the islands of Japan are.
HE'S SO STUPID I'M SORRY
he was unaware, actually. that explains a lot, he thinks. and then thinking hurts.
he also thinks he should be offended that she's laughing at him but he just puts his arm over his eyes.]
Little Drunkard... [so, what? does that mean no hangovers? must be nice. not so nice to basically run yourself into the poorhouse just to get a buzz.]
Guess I'll have to call you Drunkard-chan from now on.
IT'S FINE WE LOVE HIM ANYWAY 1/2
If you do, I'll crush your bones into a powder and use it to season my dinner.
no subject
Just kidding! That would make Ibaraki sad.
no subject
Don't say scary things.
[he means Ibaraki being sad. not the bone-crushing thing.]
I want to make this clear ahead of time. If she ever shows up, I'm not taking care of her. She's your general.
no subject
Yes you are.
no subject
[SITS UP.
the world spins on its axis and he nearly topples over. he barely catches himself on his elbow, slamming onto the box loudly.]
No. No way! I have enough to deal with as it is! You're not my Master so good luck making me do anything.
no subject
She may be my general, but she chose you as her subordinate. Therefore, when she shows up, it will be your job to care for her. Would you deny her, with those big, wide eyes?
[ pls no bully the banana, but absolutely bully the hobo. ]
1/2
"Therefore" nothing! [fuck, he's starting to feel sick now. but he's too riled to lay back down.]
Isn't it the other way around?! [but he doesn't want to be taken care of. he doesn't want this responsibility. he's done it because
because who the hell knows why Robin does some of the shit he does.]
no subject
[yes they will and yes they have.]
no subject
[ oh no ]
I will allow you to contract with me as my submissive.
[ shuten
noYES. ]no subject
What? N-no. If I'm your submissive, you're gonna use that to force me to look after Ibaraki. [he remembers that Ibaraki is her general and she's a demon so he tacks on a hurried and in-no-way-genuine,]
Really generous of you, though. Thanks, but no thanks.
no subject
[ blush more, she likes that. she also likes the scent of his fear and anxiety... im sorry for her. ]
If you were my Submissive, you would want for nothing, and in being my submissive, you would be allowed to move seamlessly between the Up and Down. [ a brief pause to see if he's getting what she's saying. ] You see? With my influence, you would be able to do your rich-robbing away from the prying eyes of the police.
no subject
he gets what she's saying. they would only be contracted as a convenience.
he also knows Ibaraki isn't here. he's just covering his bases as much as he can.]
Alright, I'll admit that it sounds like a sweet deal. You would let me have my freedom [rich-robbing...] and I don't have to contract with someone else who might not give me the same courtesy. [a very real problem that could happen in three months. but, until then, he would milk what freedom he had god damn it.]
So what do you get out of it? You're an oni, right? You're not actually doing this out of the kindness of your heart, are you? Even Ibaraki wants food most of the time.
no subject
because she's an oni and, yeah, she probably will in the future. but the thing about shuten is that she's changeable, and right now her whim is to extend her ally a supportive hand. whether it stays that way remains to be seen. ]
I do not have to contract with a submissive who will be nothing but trouble. [ her time as a free dom is coming to a close, and the last thing she wants is to be contracted to someone who wants to suffocate her, control her, or worse, change her. ] All I ask is that you bathe yourself regularly and bring me the best wine in the city.
no subject
if you want to liveTO AVOID CAPTCHA, SHUTEN]
