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!! |

[ He doesn't realize he's smiling softly. A person with reason, at last, and he feels warmth at her sound of contentment. If she tenses after, well, he won't draw attention to it, but he's careful to keep his hands on the broad part of her shoulders nowhere near the curve of her rib cage. ]
Basch fon Ronsenburg. I have been all of those things. Take it you have worked with those like me, if you recognize it so easily.
[ As she eases and they converse, he doesn't notice his hands slipping a little lower, rubbing the lotion onto fresh skin. It's the calmest he's felt since he got here. ]
no subject
[Amusingly enough, yet another similarity. Rosenburg sounds an awful lot like Rosfield.
She doesn't tense as he expected. In fact, the familiarity has her relaxing even more.]
I was raised alongside the sons of His Grace, Lord Elwin of the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. Despite there being no blood relation, and being a Ward of Rosaria myself, he treated me as his own daughter; much to the Lady Anabella's dismay. She wasn't fond of a princess of the Northern Kingdom being seen as more than the prisoner she was.
[She answers easily, leaving out her later years, though it's clear she still has the grace of a princess.
Closing her eyes, she leans into his slowly lowering, massaging, hands; images of recent events flowing through her mind. She's starting to feel hot, though she attributes it to the sensations the memories evoke, and of course the sun.
There's a name on her tongue, but her eyes shoot open before she makes the embarrassing mistake of saying it aloud. She manages to keep her composure, not even flinching when his hands slide even lower.
Oddly, the warmth doesn't dissipate. In fact, it grows stronger, triggering more unholy thoughts; even without the memories to beckon them. She glances over her shoulder at Basch, smiling softly at how handsome he is.]

I have served many nobles, and many without kingdom. If you find yourself in need of a Guard, it would be my honor to serve you, too.
[ Or in -- other ways. His mind suggests running his hands around her front, taking care of her needs until she told him to stop, and he's only vaguely aware of the way he's beginning to harden. Normally he'd be mortified at any of this, but right now it feels...peaceful.
When she glances back to smile at him, he smiles in turn, his entire body feeling pleasantly warm.
Still careful, he lets his hands stray around her sides and onto her stomach, going slow lest she protest. The motion pulls them closer, and while he does not lean flush against her, he knows once or twice his hardening cock brushes against her leg, electric even though his swim garments. ]
no subject
[She blinks at the offer of guard. Though she's capable of fighting herself, she does have the problem of her body giving out on her. Especially if forced to use magick, and Founder forbid, Prime.
Not that those other ways don't also come to mind, given someone back home's unyielding protectiveness of her as well.
His caressing gets an unconscious hum of approval and as she glances over her shoulder. Upon seeing that smile, it kindles a small fire in her breast that she can't quite explain. He seems so much more attractive and appealing than even minutes ago when he offered to help her with the salve.
Though she's never thought herself the promiscuous type, the urges are strong and she finds herself giving little consideration to her current hangups. It just feels... right.
And when she's pulled closer, she actually inadvertently leans back, though his hands on her abdomen cause her to arch slightly into him.
As for what he may or may not want her to know, Jill does indeed take note of his awakening arousal, though it's not something she has too much experience with.
The ache is starting to spread on her inner thighs and she's unsure how to even go about communicating this, or even knowing if his interest is directed towards her. It's possible it could just be a coincidence. Men have that problem from time to time, right? Not to mention her own ardent desires are rather embarrassing given they've just met.
alright a million years later
With her so close, though, there is no more opportunity to try to keep his awakening arousal from her. Indeed, with the press of her body so near to his cock, he feels it lurch between them. ]
Is this still alright?
[ He's flushing fiercely, absolutely inexperienced at initiating this sort of thing with a stranger. But his hands keep caressing her bare stomach, and for a moment he closes his eyes, just enjoying the clean smell of her hair. ]
If it is, then I'd like to lead you somewhere more private to continue. If not, your comfort is my desire.
