« « « 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 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!! |

"That's nice." Honestly, he wouldn't expect anything aside from that. Unless Gokudera were of some use, the illusionist would probably ignore his existence, he figures.
The other 'dog owners' are sending them pretty harsh looks, and Gokudera's just doing his best to ignore them. They are the most dressed and awkward pair in the whole dog park, but this is not his kink, okay, and especially not with this guy.
Though a small part of him feels relieved to see someone familiar. Sucks that it's this bastard and not someone decent.
no subject
The stares and glares of other people participating in pet-play doesn't even earn a glance from the illusionist--he wouldn't have entered without being dragged in there in the first place. Though honestly he's surprised a collar isn't part of Gokudera's typical fashion (not that he pays much attention to trends like that personally).
no subject
Gokudera would not be allowed to wear a collar, as a Dominant. Not even as a fashion choice. He'd prefer black leather gun holsters that have more visual appeal than anything practical, as he doesn't really carry a gun.
no subject
that comes from being a teenagerthat they all have. While the silver-haired one is volatile, Mukuro can admit he's got a good head on his shoulders for the most part.To himself, anyway. Like hell he'd tell any of them his true opinions about them.
"In five whole months?"
no subject
They approach a short bar on the ground and he watches as one 'pet' jumps over it, but Mukuro need only step over it or walk around it, Gokudera's not trying to force him to do either.
"And some of them have been here for years."
no subject
At first he takes a glance at the short bar, but upon making eye contract with one of the guards he rolls his eyes and does the smallest of hops over it. Flashing the guard a fake smile before turning back to the conversation like he tooootally didn't do that.
"Maybe they prefer having people worship them. I wonder why they chose you to be a Dominant..." The dog of the Vongola Decimo.
no subject
"Maybe, but they still have to meet quota just like anyone else dragged out of their home to be brought here. Might be some different type of worship." But still counts, maybe? Gokudera doesn't worship anyone.
"Your guess is as good as mine." He didn't get to pick his designation, and while he can be dominant, it's just not something he's always inclined to do or very knowledgeable about.
no subject
Just when he thinks they're getting to the gate, a guard ushers them toward the next series of low jumps. Ones clearly designed for people to be able to vault over even on their hands and knees. He just steps over the next one.
"You actually participate in that? Surprising."
no subject
He doesn’t mean to sound happy about all the sex he’s had. It’s all been consensual and he’s been treated well. THAT is surprising.
Gokudera barely pauses when they’re directed to the next jumps, knowing Mukuro isn’t weak or unable to complete the “challenge” when he’s walking around like a normal person on a leash and not some weird public pet-play pervert.
“I’d rather make quota with someone I know than do stuff with a stranger.” And he’s not so eager to spread his legs or offer his Italian Sausage to just anyone, thanks.
no subject
Another step, though this one is a little bit higher. Though his method doesn't earn polite little claps from the various people watching the event, he's fine with that. It isn't like he looks like a good pet in his ragged prison clothes, after all. At least not unless people are into that kind of thing.
no subject
The silver-haired teen isn't exactly parading the illusionist around like a show dog or anything. They're just two teenagers walking around surrounded by weirdos who are into pet play.
no subject
Gokudera's response actually earns a laugh. "Kufaha... well said." Because he can relate. It isn't that he would jump at the chance to sleep with anyone here, but if it were one of those familiar to him back home maybe things would be different. He's sure he'd still be against it, but it would at least be tolerable. It would protect them, too.
A larger step and his heterochromatic eyes watch as a man wearing only a spiked collar, harness, and leather speedo rolls over on his back so that he can get his stomach rubbed by a lady. "Do you think quota applies to people like that too? Or are we special?"
no subject
He'd remain a virgin if he hadn't felt so pressured by the way this world is ran, fear of the SLUT center, and having something he deems precious taken from him. If Mukuro were to ever need help with quota...
For the good of the family... maybe. They don't have much of a history aside from the illusionist possessing his body and using it to attack his boss.
But this is Duplicity... But this is Mukuro.
Gokudera's not sure what to think of that, isn't sure he wants to consider that right this moment.
"Quota is not required of natives. Only imports, even those that have graduated 'the program'." Gokudera sighs. "We're not special in any good way." Even as a Dominant, he'd not readily be able to join a gang, and the most powerful gang is made up of predominantly women. Though... their leader is a submissive. "The Creator is a submissive, if you can believe it." He smokes a cigarette, seeming to relax a little more. This isn't exactly a fun topic.
no subject
Despite his dismissive stance, he's listening. Whether he intends to comply or not is still in the air. If he does, it would be by his own path and not the pure expectations the city has for him. "Are you playing along? 'Contracted' and living a normal life here?"
no subject
"Yes, I'm contracted to Mysterio, the master of Illusions." He says so with pride. "I sponsor him. Because he's an incredibly inspiring artist. But we don't do anything, because we're just friends." So no one better get the idea they're sleeping together BECAUSE THEY AREN'T
despite his minor teenage crush on the supervillain.no subject
But if there are non-sexual contracts, that works out in his favor. If he can avoid having something based on that type of relationship it would be for the better. Honestly, he's more likely just to cut someone and sign himself to some schmuck and then only return when a renewal is due.
"You've got enough money to sponsor someone? Surprised anyone gave you a job." Says the one who won't be working. Ever. Not his scene.
no subject
When signing his contract he has to clearly state he would be able to take care of Quentin Beck sexually. It’s not just about caring for him in the basic sense. But his partner takes care of fulfilling his quota so that Gokudera doesn’t need to get involved.
He downright hisses at that remark and tugs at the leash while pulling out a fluorescent green plastic water gun so he can fire off a few rounds. “I work four jobs! Bad dog!”
no subject
The splashes of water catch him off guard just enough for the tug to yank him forward, but he doesn't stumble to the ground thanks to burying his bare heels into the grass. His hand twitches toward his back, but the way the guard immediately looks at him and the expression on his face brings pause.
"Do you want to die?"
no subject
"Tch! Been there, done that!" He's not going to yank or spray him again, but honestly, what did Mukuro think was going to happen by insulting his capabilities as a worker? Gokudera puts more than the necessity effort into everything concerning his job(s).
no subject
Maybe he should just kick him or trip him. Fortunately, they seem to be heading toward the main gate now. Though he's not sure he's eager to see what's in the 'goodie bags' that other people have been getting. Not unless he can sell it to someone in the Down or something, anyway.
"Well, I hope that Tsunayoshi arrives here soon. If I see him, I'll be sure to tell you." Not.
no subject
Whatever they are handing out, Gokudera will accept and hand off to Mukuro. Submissives don't own anything, after all.
"I hope he doesn't, but I have ways of finding out. I saw your name before I saw your hair." He has his ways.
no subject
"I'm sure I'll see you around whether we like it or not." And with a casual wave of his hand he heads off.
no subject
"Hopefully not," Gokudera shrugs and turns his back just after that wave. This interaction could have gone way worse, all things considered, and it's not like he wants to hang around the illusionist, anyways.
