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. It's the hottest part of the summer. Prepare to sweat. |
 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: aphrodisiacs, dub-con, groping, public nudity, public sex) It's summertime! To beat the heat, LIEs has decided to throw a pool party directly following Orientation at one of the city's public pools! Attendance is mandatory for new arrivals and strongly encouraged for everyone else. New arrivals are provided with (skimpy) swimsuits to wear, but LIERs who have been in the city a while have the option of bringing their own gear. Of course, skinny dipping is allowed as well, and there are many spots on deck for people to tan themselves. Speaking of tanning, why not help out a fellow LIER by rubbing some lotion on them? Or, if you want to avoid a burn, get someone to put sunscreen on your back? The formulas of the complementary products that LIEs provide may or may not have a mild aphrodisiac added to them, but at least you won't burn and you may get that nice golden tan you've been chasing — all over! While one end of the pool is reserved for people to splash around in or float casually, there are numerous games and water activities for people to join in on as well: In a sexy twist on Marco Polo, though in Duplicity the call and response is "lucky" and "get me," the seeker must try and tag other players by tugging at their swimsuits. They'll be rewarded with 30 seconds of foreplay, groping and whatever else they can accomplish within the time frame. Dominant and Submissive pairs face off against one another in piggyback chicken fights or jousts using inflatable toys and suggestively shaped pool noodles. Are those dildos stuck to the bottom of the pool? You bet! Dive down and retrieve them before handing them to the next person behind you to toss in and dive for or just collect as many as you can. There is, of course, the option of using said dildo on yourself or someone else for others to watch and enjoy on the pool deck. No judgment here. For those who prefer a slightly more private option, there are curtained cabanas available and it's easy enough to duck inside with a partner for a quick tryst. |
 (cw: aphrodisiacs, dub-con, altered mental states, miscellaneous kink) Whether it's the obnoxious, telltale jingle that signals the arrival of ice cream trucks, or the vehicles happen to be spotted in their various parking spots all around Duplicity — including some smaller carts made to navigate the narrower streets of the Down, it's obvious that they're popular considering the warm summer weather. It seems the locals can't get enough of the cool, sweet treats on offer — and, even better, the trucks are offering free samples in addition to selling regular sizes. Popsicles and soft serve ice cream are on the menu, and each frozen bite has its own unique set of effects. The menu: Want sprinkles with that? Enjoy your added aphro! |
 (cw: dub-con/non-con, pet play, leash and collar, training/discipline, exhibitionism) A new public park has recently been built on a formerly empty lot in the Up. The bigger sign on the gate reads "Dog Park," and the smaller sign adjacent to it includes the posted rules that all people need to abide by in order to enter. If you're curious about what such a structure entails (after all, there are dogs in Duplicity), you're in luck: today, there's a meet-and-greet being hosted for pets and their owners, sponsored by a local "pet" shop, with banners advertising the event posted at each end of the park. This is a Dog Park, alright, but it's intended for a very specific kind of play involving the LIERs who want to wear the collars in question as well as the LIERs who are interested in holding their leashes. Even if you've never harbored an interest in it before, don't worry — random bystanders will be enthusiastically pressured to join in by event volunteers, so you might find yourself wearing a collar or holding a leash in very short order regardless. All pets must be collared and leashed properly in order to enter the Dog Park, and owners must remain in close proximity to their pets at all times. There are toys for tugging and fetching, a few pieces of special playground equipment, and more than enough space to run around. There will also be obedience challenges issued to various pairs at random, just to see how in sync both pet and owner are with one another. If you decide to participate and remain on your best behavior, you might even earn a nice treat in addition to a pat on the head. The pet shop will be handing out goodie bags consisting of take-home collars, as well as animal tail plugs and other sex toys and gear, to everyone who takes part in the event, willingly or not. |
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 is a night owl, they are a Dominant. If your character prefers the daytime, 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 tag on 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!! |

well, through the machinations of delectable trickery the aphrodisiac is in your system
waiting it out is a solid option
but it sounds like slow torture
[get to the moral of the story already]
alternatively you can act on whatever it is that aphrodisiac is compelling you to do
no subject
how am i supposed to know what the aphrodisiac is compelling me to do? cause dealing with it alone definitely hasn't worked.
[He could rule out jerking off because that definitely hadn't gotten him anywhere.
It really doesn't help that what the aphrodisiac is compelling in him isn't something outside of the ordinary for him.]
no subject
[I mean to him it seems like the obvious solution]
unless you're reticent about such things, i suspect that would be a nasty obstacle
no subject
no. i haven't tried that
no subject
though i do understand the desire to crawl out of a situation through your own grit and steam
[in fact he admires it, but doubts it will get him where he needs to or wants to be either]
if you've a mind to try it, my assistance has no strings attached
no subject
sight unseen, huh?
yeah alright
[He sends a ping for the rundown rooms they've been shoved into. Luckily, he hasn't even run into his roommate yet. While waiting, he checks out what kind of supplies the place came with, appalled but not at all surprised to find a plethora of sex toys and lube. Who needs food, right?]
no subject
[At least the mystery of the stranger on the other end of this conversation was exciting enough to tickle Astarion's curiosity, even if the allure of pleasure wasn't motivating enough.
It took a bit of time to track down the location, so much looks the same in the Down and it was hard to lock on to the scent of a particular individual in need when there were so may people with needs. Fortunately the device kept him on the right path and before he was aware of it he was standing at the door.
He'd lost quite a bit of what made him a vampire, but some things still remained as well. He wondered if he required an invitation to enter or if he could just walk into homes uninvited as he pleased.
Just to be certain he knocked, he was a gentleman...at least on some days.]
no subject
He pulls the door open a crack, which is made more difficult as the door sticks to the frame, one of them obviously warped slightly.]
Can I help you? [Maybe an exchange of names would have been smart.]
no subject
And he's not about to complain if the sliver of what he's seeing is just as pleasant as the rest, making him thankful for his visual acuity.]
On the contrary, I'm here to help you [a short beat] at least I hope so.
[Names would have been prudent, but there were other ways to identify himself and to ascertain that this was the right person and place.]
You are the one who ate the fucked ice cream, yes? [Very specific phrasing.]
no subject
Opening the door further, he grabs Astarion by the front of his shirt, pulling him inside. As soon as Astarion is through the door, he pushes him backward, pinning him firmly up against the door with a dull thud to close it.
The stranger is actually incredibly attractive but at the moment it's the last thing on Leon's mind. He hadn't felt overwhelming urges for anything specific until now, nothing but the persistent arousal from the aphrodisiac. Maybe it was sparked by being in the vicinity of someone else. Whatever had triggered it, it's all consuming now.
Sinking down onto his knees, he starts to tug Astarion's pants open unceremoniously. He'll likely be apologizing profusely for all of this later.]
no subject
That would have been his response, but almost as soon as his identity is confirmed, that he is the gracious individual who volunteered his help (sate his curiosity would also be accurate) he expeditiously ffinds himself wedged against the door. If he weren't swept up in the sudden rush of unexpected excitement he'd almost be impressed that the door manages to remain on its hinges, instead he tempts fate further by bearing down on the door, planting his feet firmly with his legs tipped apart not trying to interfere though he's desperately tempted.
Fortunately Astarion is more lucid than his lovely companion, turned on by the mechanical need to sate his urges, all instinct and very little else. It's simple, it's charming, it fans the flames of his own perverse urges, urgers that he is not in short supply of. Pushing down the temptation he instead husks his leathers far enough down his thighs to not be a visual obstacle. If his pretty new acquaintance is eager enough to service him, then he's eager enough to want to watch.
No apologies required.
It does leave him with two free hands and nothing to do with them except card his fingers through the man's hair, brushing it out of his eyes, blunt nails raking over his scalp as he did. He was tempted to yank the other man against him, to press his face against his burgeoning, to fill his charming companion's senses with it and make him wait a little longer.
Tempting. Something to keep in mind for later if his itch didn't get the scratching it needed]
no subject
He palms Astarion roughly, his other hand pushing up under his shirt, pressing flat against his abdomen, fingers fanned. Leon doesn't seem to have any patience left for teasing. There's no kissing or biting, immediately taking Astarion's cock, only half hard, in his mouth, cheeks hollowing as he works to get him erect, his fingers around the base to hold him in place as his head begins to bob.
His gaze wanders upward, blue eyes hazy with lust as he looks up at Astarion through his lashes, seeming to find some kind of relief already, and certainly pleasure, in the act.]
no subject
Whether Leon is naturally talented or he had plenty of past experience in pleasuring men, it doesn't even matter. His lips, tongue, his technique is enough to push Astarion over the edge before the he's even tasted his beautiful quarry. He's loathe to stop him, especially when those blue eyes find his own deep, red ones -- for praise or to gauge his reaction, it doesn't matter.
The fingers combing through Leon's hair curl into a fist, insistently pulling him off of his cock without being too rough, not yet. The hand not buried in Leon's hair coasts along the lines of his face, thumb tracing soft, moist lips, taking a moment to admire him before crouching down on the floor with him.]
Your lingual skills are first-rate, darling, but I would hate to finish before we've even started.
[And now it was Astarion's turn to roll Leon back onto the floor pinning the other man bodily beneath him, hips fitting against his companion's, intentionally bringing their mutual arousal into contact though Astarion was arguably more dressed down.]
no subject
Leon can practically feel the moan rumbling through Astarion's chest and the sound goes straight to his cock, a positive feedback loop that he's doing well.
Astarion earns his own groan as his hold pulls on Leon's hair, though it tapers into more of a whine when he's pushed back. He looks borderline distraught, whatever he'd been drugged with telling him he needs to keep going.
Before he can say anything, his back is on the floor and their hips are grinding together, making him gasp.]
Whatever you want. Just tell me what you want. [He'll be mortified remembering this later, the desperate edge in his breathless voice, wanting so badly to serve.]
