« « « 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!! |

But there's a gorgeous young woman in his arms, offering him so much, so genuinely, that his heart can't help but soar at the prospect. ]
I would give you the same. You're a gem, Lucy. Let me treasure you.
no subject
So she falls back on old wisdom.]
I should like to say yes.
[And because of that-]
And so I must say no, while I do not understand this world or it’s desires or what it asks of me, I would not have a safe harbor even in your arms until I do.
Would you be so patient with me? I’m-
[She bites a finger, to worry at it.]
I am a maiden, yet. I know I will not likely remain one long here, but-
no subject
Angel, he wishes they were both stupider and more carefree. But he's too much of a gentleman to push when he's been told no. Flirtation and blushes and kisses are of a kind, but he won't go questioning her decision now that it's been made.
Made for now. ]
Darling, after my many years, I know well how to be patient.
[ He wishes too that he could be her first, not for some sense of conquest but to know for absolute certain that her first time will be tender and loving and magical, perfect in its pleasure. But how to say that? ]
I ask that you consider me. I do not wish to pressure you. It's a thing that should be done in your own time, but... I would be honored for you to even consider me for your first.
no subject
Lord warlock, you must say such sweet things to all the pretty girls. Perhaps you have so enchanted me!
[She’s teasing, and it’s clear in how she tips her head and how her smile is tipping upwards at the corners, how her hands seek his to catch them.]
Were i my sister I would ask you some feat to prove me your intentions, some great and impossible thing to make your devotion clear.
[Courtship in Narnia is a predictable thing.]
no subject
Perhaps I do say such things to them, but you're the only one I want. Tonight and tomorrow and as many days after as you allow, promise or no. [ He enjoys her company too much already to let her go without some semblance of friendship between them, the beginnings of one.
He pulls back to look her in the eyes again, still smiling. ]
And you're not your sister, I assume. What would you have me do instead?
no subject
[Oh, she really is teasing now. But her heart is racing under his mouth, she feels hot and disoriented. There’s a flutter of adrenaline but desire, too.
She did not think that someone would see her so soon.]
I am not my sister. I am wilder and more feral than my gentle royal sister, for she is as ladylike as any lady may hope to be.
[She considers what he says.]
I like adventures. And new experiences. I like-
Well.
I suppose if you were to adorn me in jewels I would not mind it but I would rather have a new bow.
[All of that said:]
I am poorly purchased, my lord. And you? What would you have from someone in your favor?
no subject
You're wise to be wary of me. I do like all manner of pretty things and want to keep them for myself. I'm selfish like that. I would be selfish with you, too.
[ It surprises him -- and yet doesn't -- that she would wish for a bow. What is it about Magnus and archers? Apparently he's developing a thing. It's not a bad thing, in the least, but he should be careful about it.
He makes a mental note to go shopping tomorrow. She'll have her bow, and a quiver full of arrows to match. And they will be fine, splendid things. ]
Being named a Dominant, I have little to want for. I only want trust. That's the greatest gift that someone might give me.
no subject
But surely it is a gift so easily given.
[She’s young and sometimes it’s clear, like now, just how young she is, just how trusting she is. So much of the ills of the human heart has been forbidden from her sight by protective brothers and her own goodness. The monsters in Narnia, after all, have always taken that shape - witches and wolves and giants and dragons.
People have always been kind to her.
Here it’s a liability she doesn’t know she has.]
no subject
Not here. Here it means a great deal more.
As you said, a Dominant will say and do anything to take you for their own. You must guard your heart and choose wisely. Trust is an easy thing to give, perhaps, but it is just as easily trampled upon by the uncaring.
no subject
He is not her father or her brother or her Dominant and yet she knows he speaks with authority.]
I fear that is why I wait. So much of this I poorly understand.
And so I will stay unclaimed for a time, until I can properly grasp it all.
no subject
Perhaps in a little while, he'll have another kiss. But, on the whole and for the moment, he must be patient. ]
Let me help you. Anything that troubles you, anything that confuses you... Know that you can rely upon me.
[ He's offering so much of himself to her, but Magnus doesn't know how to heed his own advice. He trusts and cares for her already. ]
no subject
[She giggles.]
What if I am some unscrupulous Submissive who only wishes an escape from a difficult life and sees a kind man with a beautiful face to raise me up.
[She is giggling more. She wonders if boys are told to watch for shrews.]
What if no discipline can tame me?
no subject
