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 LIEs 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 LIEs 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 high-rise. 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 for all new and past arrivals. Spring is coming, bringing frequent showers. |
 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. |
 (cw: public nudity, public sex, dub-con, coercion) Following this month's Orientation lecture and the usual set of classes and workshops, there will be a special workshop for all LIERs with the intent of getting them more comfortable with nudity, interacting with their own bodies, and those of others. The workshop has three activities to choose from, although make no mistake: participation itself is not a choice. Characters who dally too long will simply be assigned one, as well as an appropriate (opposite designation) partner. One activity involves creating DIY sex toys with a personal touch by first making molds of each other's genitals and then casting silicone replicas, with color options ranging from realistic flesh tones to the full rainbow and even glow-in-the-dark. Another option is for both partners to strip down, cover themselves in paint, and fuck on a large canvas laid out on the floor to make a masterpiece with handprints and the smeared impressions of their writhing bodies. The last, and least hands-on, activity is nude figure drawing. Partner up and study every inch of each other's bodies before committing them to paper. |
 (cw: aphrodisiacs, altered mental states, dub-con/non-con, somnophilia, paralysis) It may not be April just yet, but the rain is certainly here! Instead of flowers it seems to have brought an array of fungi, with several varieties of mushrooms sprouting up around the city, sometimes in unexpected places. Those who are daring enough to try consuming the mushrooms will find they're all edible. However eating them, whether raw or cooked, will come with a collection of colorful effects even for those ordinarily immune to toxins. Bastard's Bellend — This rather phallic mushroom is a potent aphrodisiac. Take care while picking it - or even standing too close - as it periodically releases a cloud of spores that produce the same effect when inhaled. The aphrodisiac will last about an hour if breathed in, but may linger in the system up to a full day if the mushroom is eaten. Belle's Bosom — These titillating toadstools often grow in pairs. Consuming them will induce a state of heightened emotion. Characters may become aggressive, sorrowful, fearful, or euphoric. It's impossible to predict which emotion will take hold and two people sharing one mushroom may even experience completely opposite effects. This state generally lasts for two to four hours. Amourous Arse — The rounded caps of these mushrooms resemble a shapely rear end. While under their influence, it is impossible to lie and truth spills from the lips without any hesitation. The duration of the effect increases with the amount eaten, up to 48 hours. Vixen's Vulva — These mushrooms are characterized by a rather suggestive opening, but before you go sticking anything in, it's worth noting that mere skin contact is enough to cause drowsiness and put one in an agreeable, easily influenced mental state. Eating them may result in actually falling asleep or, in some cases, temporary paralysis. These effects can last up to two hours. All four varieties of mushroom are in high demand for use in specialized dishes and characters who do not wish to eat them may still want to go out and collect as many as they can to sell. |
 Are you new in town? Shy? Struggling to meet quota partners? Worry not, LIEs is here to provide a helpful nudge and make connections—perhaps with someone who shares a common interest, or someone who can broaden your horizons and introduce you to something completely new. LIERs will receive icebreaker messages on their devices connecting them to another character of the appropriate designation by sending a generic 'hello' from each of their devices, along with a prompt: MEET [NAME], YOU TWO SHOULD TALK ABOUT [KINK]! Relevant emojis may or may not be included. |
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 the assignments are OOCly 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 prefers a sunny day, they are a Dominant. If your character prefers a rainy day, 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!! |
