« « « 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!! |
no subject
Nevermind, I doubt I'll even understand. Are you sure you even know how to get there?
[ Nonon is quick to fall into step with the other girl, there's no way she's like other "submissives" who might walk behind their Dominant or anything like that! ]
no subject
[ she explains anyway. if she doesn't understand it then it is her own fault. one gives a gentle nod. ]
Of course I do. [ she's not dumb enough to get lost so easily. ]
no subject
[ Nonon stops there to look over the other girl... clearly coming up unimpressed. She's cute, but no where does she inspire any kind of awe or fear like a certain mother-in-law of Nonon's. She doesn't even glow with a rainbow or have a scary theme song in german following her. ]
If you're a God, then I'm one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who watches over the East and upholds the realms. [ That's a Buddhism reference that somehow she imagines will be lost on her. ]
no subject
[ after all, she did say it was at least the way she is presented in her world. it will not surprise one if there are beings here that could over power her, but, that's information she would rather not find out first hand. ]
I assume that you are being sarcastic. [ nonon, why. ]
no subject
Yeah, well, guess you'll never know, will you?
[ Snippy, but not particularly mad, Nonon follows after One. Of course, as soon as they arrive back at her apartment Nonon is quick to kick off her heels near the door, and head right over to the couch to plop down dramatically. ]
What do you have for snacks?
no subject
at least no matter what sassy or snippy nonon gets with her, one won't react badly to it and instead will just ignore what type of tone she uses. ]
Biscuits and tea, mostly. If you want something else, speak up, and I may be able to get it for you.
no subject
You're pretty generous. I prefer something sweet. Candy or pastries, but I suppose I'll accept biscuits.
[ Pulling out her phone like the teenager she is, Nonon sprawls out even more on the couch in her dress, laying on her back and texting. ]
I guess I should tell her where I'll be tonight.. [ She says mostly to herself, awaiting her snacks. ]
no subject
some of them are greedy and it takes a while to get used to, but, one is always the patient one out of her sisters. ]
Biscuits it is.
[ now to dig through her kitchen to look for them, not that it will take one very long to grab one and place it on the small table which is set in front of the couch. ]
Who might you be talking about?
no subject
Spinning around on the couch when One returns, Nonon is quick to pocket her phone again while she reaches out for one of the biscuits. There's probably still space on the couch, but Nonon's not seeming to give One much space when she's laying out from head to toe on it like she owns it. ]
This clingy woman who I know would never stop texting me if I didn't respond.
no subject
[ But if Nonon isn't upset about it, not too upset at least, One has no reason to step in. Thankfully, there's an armchair not too far away that One can sit in. It would probably be best that they're not too close after all. ]
Do you enjoy the attention?
no subject
I don't hate it, but sometimes it can be a bit much. No one should be having sex that many times in one day.
[ She shrugs it off, oddly enough having come to terms with speaking about sex more easily now than she used to. ]
So what is your plan? Are you going to find a submissive here or wait to get randomly assigned one?
no subject
[ She closes her eyes for a moment. If you want her close Nonon, you should speak up. One isn't the type to intrude on one's privacy because it's as the old saying goes, treat others how you want to be treated. ]
I would prefer to find a submissive of my own choosing, that way it can be a mutual agreement.
no subject
Eeeh!? [ In fact, it's such a surprise that Nonon finds herself nearly falling off the couch, as she tries to put her hand on the edge to sit up, and it slips. Luckily she catches herself at the last second, avoiding total embarrassment. ]
A-Are you kidding me?! FIVE is your sister?!
no subject
I'm not kidding. Five is my sister, and I have another one here, too. There are six of us in total. [ But, not all of them are here at the moment. ] If she is giving you grief, please don't hesitate to inform me because I am more than happy to have a talk to my youngest sister.
[ Bonus points that Five is the youngest, despite One looking like she should be. ]
