TDM #2 OVERFLOW
« « « 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!! |
jon snow
Jon Snow. My great honor, sir.
[She nods her head just the once. Hello, this will do.]
Only some days past. I fear my bearings are still quite, well.
[Quite, well. That's about right.]
no subject
[He sometimes found himself lost, especially if he went to the Down.]
You have absorbed this all rather well.
[Better than he did. She seemed far more innocent than this place called for. Had she even...?]
Nothing need happen tonight. You could take my bed, if you want?
no subject
I think you have only seen me at my best.
[As for the next matter.]
Take your bed?
[Her eyes widen a little.]
Sir, I am muchly-
I could not do such a thing.
no subject
[This place had a way of bringing it out and she would see his soon enough.]
You can, if you prefer.
I won't force you to do anything you do not wish. I know how subs are treated here.
You don't have to be afraid of me.
no subject
I am not afraid of you. If I were, I would not have agreed to any such wish.
[She eyes him a moment.]
And how should you treat any Submissive in your care?
no subject
[He knew that some found the term ridiculous for the lifestyle they had to adapt to here, but he would never see his partners as otherwise. He would not go to bed with a woman he didn't care for in some way and they would only be lovers, nothing beneath that.
He reached out, letting his finger trace over the line running down her neck.]
This doesn't change who you are. Whatever you want, I will try to give to you.
no subject
Whatever I wish?
Then I think they have erred in your designation, sir.
no subject
[But he knew that he was an oddity. He wasn't ashamed of it.]
Are you saying you'd rather see me acting like a dominant?
no subject
I do not know myself what I like.
[There's a blush, then.]
I'm still a maiden, sir.
no subject
Though he couldn't say he didn't understand. He had been in a similar position once.]
I am still learning what I prefer. I only had one lover before coming here.
[He smiled at her gently, comforting.]
You will have the chance to learn.
no subject
I do not think I have been alone with so many who eye us like prizes, even when I was a prize to be won.
[She looks at him a moment.]
Perhaps I will learn to know what I like, yes.
no subject
[She was highborn, that much he could see. Likely her title was sought after, whatever it might be.]
I wish I could say you grow used to it, but you won't.
So much of this still catches me off guard, even as I learn to ask or tell others I want them.
no subject
[She smiles just a little.]
You are too solemn for a party.
no subject
[One of which he broke, the other in another form.]
I was never fond of these gatherings. I would stay in the corner in my father's keep.
no subject
[She points it out, easily.]
What was your father?
no subject
[It was his fault, his dishonor to bear, but he no longer felt the same guilt that he used to. It was now only a simple fact.]
He was Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North.
no subject
Well, my lord, then command is likely in your blood.
no subject
[It is said a bit sheepishly, as the subject was a bit of difficult one. However much he had come to term with such things, but bringing it up was still a bit strange.
But how could she know what his name meant?]
I'm a Snow. It is a name given to bastards of the North. I am not meant to be Lord of Winterfell.
That should have been my brother's before he died. Now it belongs to my sister.
no subject
What has name to do with blood?
no subject
[He at least had Ned's Stark blood. Without it, he might never have been made king.]
no subject
[She shakes her head.]
As it is, sir. We can dance, if you like it.
no subject
[It's more than he usually admits.]</small I am out of practice, if you do not mind that?
no subject
Don't think of such things, my lord.
[She smiles at him, and it's soft.]
Here. Like this.
[It's a gentle sort of dance, now.]
no subject
Forgive me, if I step on you.
[Hesitantly, he began to move, leading her softly into the dance, his eyes rooted on the ground. As though that would somehow help him through this.]
You are a highborn lady?
no subject
[She's lightfooted enough to avoid his own. She's following his movements, light and carefree.]
Am I?
