« « « 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!! |
Amaterasu | Okami | Dominant
[New places, new smells, new foods, it would all be far more interesting if she weren't so blastedly tired. Yawning noisily, the pale haired young woman doesn't even bother trying to cover her mouth, showing off impressive fangs and rubbing her bleary eyes with a quiet grumble. All she wants is a place to curl up and sleep, but everything was weird here and she couldn't find her prophet or her tiny travelling companion, and overall that was not her preferred method of starting off a new adventure.
Nose wrinkling, her tail twitches in annoyance and her thick-furred ears flick back against her scalp before angling forward again. In the end the urge to nap overcomes her desire to stare out the window, and she unceremoniously drops into the nearest open seat, taking little care to see whose shoulder she slumps against. Her thigh-length yukata is white with odd cloud-like markings on the sleeves, bound up with a vivid crimson obi matched by the thigh-high stockings she wears, her sandals are woven instead of platform geta, her shins and forearms protected by red laquered guards.
Yet aside from the ears and tail, her most unusual features are the red tattoos on her face, and for those sensitive to the divine, the floating mirror with its many-colored flames that hovers behind her shoulder blades, spinning slowly as the fire burns without heat. Those without sight will simply see a pale-haired girl with wolfish features, whose tail curls around her hips and flops listlessly as she tries to get comfortable.]
☀ The Key to Hearts
[The pale-haired woman seems to think nothing of dumping an extraordinary amount of money she donates, her kimono's smoke and flame pattern catching the light as she breezes into the party on platform sandals, attempting to peer over the crowd with only the faintest hint of annoyance flickering across her face. For someone so short, she wasn't having much success.
When that goes poorly, she sighs noisily and sets about wandering through the party, obviously looking for something. What it could be, it's hard to say, though perhaps the food was part of it.
She doesn't quite pounce the food, but does growl softly at anyone whose hand gets too close to the plate she holds.]
☀ Wildcard
[Feel free to hit up the fluffy sun goddess for whatever! She doesn't bite too often, honest.]
The Key to Hearts
Honestly he's just here to eat and ditch before they try to stick him with a Dominant he never asked for.
Right now, however, he's finding himself on the receiving end of a growl when he takes a little too much interest in a passing plate that happens to be in the hands of a sun goddess, and raises his hands palms out to show he hasn't actually taken anything.
He was just seriously thinking about it... ]
no subject
Still, she does point to the plates, glaring a little as if silently telling him to get his own if he wants some so badly.]
no subject
It's nice of her to point out the food to him instead of ripping his throat out and all, but for once in his life the Nian is less interested in the food than the woman standing in front of him. He'd been pretty focused on her plate and the smell of the food first, but now looking up and taking in the appearance, and sniffing subtly at the air in front of him he's realizing that maybe, just maybe food can wait for a moment. ]
Hey... what are you?
no subject
Rude pup. I am myself.
[As if this is obvious, her brows furrowed. She knew she was being petty, being intentionally obtuse simply because she was annoyed with him. Still, he could at least learn to try to be polite after nearly snatching her food.]
no subject
Maybe that's not the most flattering way to put it, but eloquence isn't the Nian's strong suit.
He squares his shoulders, and if his human form was even remotely impressive in stature that might actually be mildly intimidating. ]
And that is that?
no subject
Lies
Kairi jumps a little when she feels the woman next to her just flops against her, clearly asleep. She blinks a couple times, then lifts up a hand to poke her... but thinks better of it upon studying her a bit. She gets this weird feeling she can't quite place that this woman is more than she seems, for more reasons than the wolf ears, and that maybe bugging her by waking her up wouldn't be the greatest of ideas.
Granted, being a pillow for a woman she's never met before wasn't exactly on the bucket list... but at the same time, she can't help but just reach curiously out to one of those ears because hey, if the lady's going to fall asleep on her, she can at least indulge her curiosity about those, right?]
oh no Kairi is adorable as always, bless you
The ear she pokes twitches a little under her fingertips, the touch tickling the silky hairs and made Ammy's nose wrinkle enough that a dark eye cracked open to peek at the young girl through her thick eyelashes.
Hmmm, a tiny heroine far from home, was it? Her eye falls shut again and she whuffs heavily, like a gusty sigh as her tail flops. Not quite a wag, because it wasn't a proper headscratch, but Ammy has a mind to fix that.
Never being one to tiptoe around what she wants, the wolfish goddess gently takes Kairi's hand and plants it solidly between her pointed ears in a wordless bid for real scratches. Her fur is quite soft, she's very proud of it, and after all the work she's been doing lately, she definitely feels that she's earned at least one proper ear rub.]
Wait you mean adorable in general or do you know my Kairi? (Thank you either way)
Uh, sorry about-
[She's interrupted when her hand gets grabbed and planted straight on the woman's head. Well, okay, she can take a hint. A slight smile spreading across her face, she starts to dig in with her fingers for a good scratch.]
Okay, never mind apparently. Nice to meet you too.
In general! Sadly I've been on rp hiatus for a couple years
Lies
How rude, darling. At least share your name first.
no subject
Well, she supposes she could, weighing whether or not Hela would actually be able to understand her speech without her companion that translated for her. Did this place have magic that fixed that sort of thing? Better to try than to not, after all.
Not that it stops her from yawning noisily first, her fangs far too large to be able to fit in her mouth, yet she seems to be rousing herself, licking her lips before attempting speech.]
Amaterasu.
[Her voice is low, and rich as fresh tilled soil, warm as the summer light that bakes crops and brings autumn. Yet she still seems content to doze under Hela's touch, the tip of her tail flicking in lazy greeting.]
no subject
Hela. I don't believe I've heard of you.
[Still petting, on that note.]
no subject
key to hearts
Heh, thought so. What've we here now? They certainly like all types in this city, eh?
And you're one of the favorites.
