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. ... and 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. Enjoy your free time until orientation! Participation is mandatory by all new and old arrivals. Winter is here and snow flurries are common in the Up while the slush collects in the Down. |
 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. |
 As a particularly heavy snowstorm blows across the city, Duplicity finds itself blanketed in white. The morning after the storm, many citizens seem to be in a particularly mischievous mood and snowballs are a common sight flying through the air. A projectile meant for someone else may hit you square in the face if you're not careful — and then it's on. Joining these impromptu snow battles is encouraged, no matter a person's designation, and even Submissives teaming up to pelt unsuspecting Dominants with snowballs is generally taken in the spirit of good fun. Not everyone is throwing snow, of course — some are rolling much larger balls and shaping them into lewd snow figures. Those feeling chilled after playing in the snow may experience the urge to warm up with someone else, skin to skin. Whether they're a stranger or a familiar face, holding hands, kissing, or getting down and dirty with the nearest willing partner is invigorating. It might even be the only way to really feel warm again. |
 (cw: aphro, humiliation kink) Want to make some quick cash? After exiting the train in the Down, there seems to be a questionable character hanging about the station. Dressed in a trenchcoat and looking more like a flasher than the businessman he claims to be, this shady recruiter offers easy money in exchange for a simple delivery. Just take a package and drop it off at the address on the label. Really, that's it! Stop asking questions. Should characters decide to open the package themselves instead, they'll discover one of the following: glitter — so much glitter, lube (appears normal, but actually contains hot pepper and will cause more than a mild tingling sensation if used anywhere sensitive), a package of flavored condoms mysteriously labeled "every flavor" (none of them taste good), candy or perfume containing an aphrodisiac that, in addition to the usual libido-boosting effect, will also cause an intense craving for humiliation. It seems to be one of those services that allows one to send anonymous prank gifts, and they're hiding behind LIERs as couriers. There's no return address or company information on or inside the package, except for a card marked Encoded Sin Corp — which does not seem to be a real company if the name is searched. Whether characters end up delivering the package — maybe even to a fellow LIER — or get into some trouble along the way, someone is getting a nasty surprise. |
 (cw: aphro, dubcon, excessive fluids, exhibitionism, public use)A small winter market has been set up along one of the major streets in the Up with stalls selling a variety of goods ranging from knitted hats and scarves, soaps, scented lotions, candles, jewelry, artwork and assorted crafts to hand-dyed bondage rope and kinky leather accessories. Food and drink stands are plentiful as well. Strings of lights crisscross the street between the roofs of the shops, providing a cheerful glow, and there are tables set up in the street itself for people to sit and chat while having a snack — if they can stand the cold. Some of the most popular treats being sold are hot chocolate, eggnog, marshmallow snowmen, and sugar cookies decorated like snowflakes. Of course, their popularity may have something to do with the effects they produce when consumed. • The hot chocolate simply gets one all hot and bothered. • The eggnog may cause heavy production of sexual fluids, a desire to be filled or covered with someone else's cream, or all of the above. • The marshmallow snowmen will make those who eat them want to invite others to use them as they please, desiring nothing more than to be molded into the perfect fucktoy. • The sugar cookies seem to induce all sorts of different cravings — after all, no two snowflakes are alike! These effects tend to last at least an hour and may, in some cases, last up to a full day. One of the jewelry shops sells an unusual selection of compass pendants and bracelets. The compass arrows spin round and round lazily while the pieces are on display. Once worn, however, that changes. The arrow will settle on a direction, but instead of pointing north it will lead directly to another person. Perhaps you should speak to them? You may even begin to feel magnetically drawn to them yourself… In the event that two people have compasses that point them at each other, the attraction will be even stronger — nearly impossible to deny. There is another shop which sells intricately designed pocket watches and small clocks. When these timepieces are stared at for an extended length of time or picked up and handled, characters will feel a brief but strong connection to their past and experience a vivid flashback to some moment that was, in whatever way, meaningful for them. After reliving the memory, they will feel compelled to speak about it to whoever is nearby. |
Please read carefully. On each Test Drive Meme, there will be a section noting character roles; these will vary each TDM. On an IC level, characters will still have gone through the doors but assignments OOCly are still randomized. When applying, there is a section of the application that denotes whether the character chooses "left" or "right." When participating on the TDM, there will be a third option. Players may link either a top level or a thread (five or more comments from their character) from the TDM and title the link as "Door Pass." This means that the player is choosing to take the designation that they were randomly assigned on the TDM, rather than taking the designation of a door. If the player decides to select a door rather than use the pass, then they are trying their luck; they may get the same designation they had on the TDM or the opposite. Once the application is submitted, players can't change their choice. To assign roles to characters for this TDM, use the following guide: If your character likes it hot, they are a Dominant. If your character prefers the cold, they are a Submissive. To Note: Characters can only swap their designation for one of the following reasons: an event occurs that allows it or there are OOC reasons that make it a necessity. Any swap always requires mod approval and each character can only ever switch once. Characters that are being reapped will keep their previous designation but players can choose to use new TDMs with different designations for fun! Test Drive threads can be used as activity proofs for characters currently in-game. Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!! |

"Shit. What can I do?"
Because his general attitude towards life was 'Don't be an asshole' and he'd just been exactly that. He hadn't exactly been careful in the middle of the bacchanal, but that wasn't this. The few times he'd come close, he'd already known they were into it before he went there.
And there hadn't been tears.
no subject
He could still feel the aphrodisiac simmering, poking at him with its little fingers, but he was satisfied for a moment, he'd be able to do the necessaries like getting his clothes off and getting to a bed. Right now, the desire to be used had been satisfied, and Quentin's natural love of having his limits and endurance pushed were taking him the rest of the way to his current happy, dreamy state.
no subject
"You want a glass of water or something? A beer?"
And no, he hadn't forgotten that Quentin hadn't come. But he was pretty sure right now that he might not want to. Or might not want that with him. Fuck, after all the things he'd taken, he'd never had to worry about losing control. Fear sat in a lump in his stomach and it wasn't a feeling he was used to or comfortable with.
He put Quentin down on the bed gently and then just...hovered. Waiting for Quentin to tell him what to do to make this better.
no subject
While Randall did that, he worked on his jeans and his t-shirt, so that he was in his boxers when Randall returned. He'd grabbed a tissue, too, and was cleaning up his face a little, wiping tears and come and managing to very attractively blow his nose just as Randall came back. He was still mostly hard, too, but not feeling any particular urgency about it.
no subject
"You okay?" he asked now that there was a chance the answer might be 'yes'. "I don't always know my own strength. I didn't accidentally..." He swallowed. "Hurt you. Did I?"
And then he offered Quentin the water, as if that could change his mind about whether or not Randall had hurt him.

no subject
His eyes dropped down to Quentin's lips. Because while he'd started off not knowing what to do, he did seem to learn faster than Randall might have expected. Which was how he stopped thinking too hard about being careful.
no subject
He set the water down, then moved back on the bed to tug Randall with him. If Randall was gonna be all nervous about it, then clearly it was Quentin's right to demand cuddles. At least for a minute.
no subject
"So...what does Q stand for?"
There had to be some reason he had the later across half his back.

"Randall," he said, leaning back finally.
He was just going to have to be better about hiding his distaste for magic. Or maybe do a better job of explaining why.
no subject
"Well, Randall," he said, sitting up and swinging one leg over his lap, to straddle him. "How long do you need before you can go again?"
no subject
"Well, if someone hadn't just blown me, the answer would have been 'right now'. So if you want something before then, I think that's a you problem."
He was going to be found out sooner and not later, especially with Quentin sitting on his lap, but since he had his jeans on, it'd take a minute or two before he noticed that Randall was already starting to get hard again.
"Maybe come back in twenty, thirty minutes. An hour tops."
no subject
"Mmm, I think I'm gonna make it your problem, actually," he said with a bit of a smirk, shifting a little closer on Randall's lap, so he was putting some pressure where it mattered. "I mean, we've only had one orgasm between us so far. Hardly seems fair."
no subject
Never mind that he'd been the one to start this by confusing him with Eric. Or that he'd paused several times along the way only to frustrate Quentin every time he tried to get to his knees there. And never mind that the drug they'd been given was working on his libido. Those were just things he was 'forgetting'.
"Maybe I'll just take a nap first."
no subject
He leaned in for a kiss and angled his hips as he did, both pressing down on Randall's dick and arching into those hands under his boxers. Twenty minutes, indeed. He let the kiss linger, hands running up Randall's stomach, over his chest. "You can nap if you want," he murmured. "Long as your dick's awake." He pressed down again, a bit more insistently.
no subject
He kissed Quentin again before he could form any kind of retort. And also to say that he wasn't really looking to start any kind of an argument. He was just talking to talk, like he usually did. But right now, there were so many better options than talking.
But he couldn't help giving one last parting shot between kisses.
"Does this mean I get another blow job?"
Kidding. Totally kidding. There were much better ways he planned on using the fact that he was getting hard again.

He pulled Quentin back into the same position over him once he'd grabbed the bottle. Quentin wasn't exactly small, but Randall shifted him around like he weighed nothing. He wrapped his hand in Quentin's hair and pulled him in for another kiss, hips thrusting in the direction of Quentin's hand as a suggestion to pick up where they'd left off before the pants had come off.
no subject
"Come on, give it to me," he whispered, eager to get the prep going to get to the main event. His dick had gone down after sucking Randall off, but he was already hard and eager again, quick to get that way since he hadn't come before. "This how you want me?" It seemed so, but if Randall had a different favorite position, it was easier to move now.
