« « « MILLIONS OF MISCHIEFS

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.

Enjoy your free time until orientation! Participation is mandatory by all new and old arrivals.

Oh, and one more thing. It's fucking cold. Better bundle up.

« « « LAST WEEK ON

The LIEs Program has proven to be relentless in their search for the Deceit Gene by going to any length to push participants into sexual situations and contracts. It is clear now that the citizens of Duplicity support the LIEs Program. The ship, which docked in a powerless and empty city, has vanished back out to sea and as the fifteenth contract was signed, the lights have come back on. Duplicity is bustling again. In fact, it's as if nothing ever happened. If one was to ask they'd be met by either genuine or Oscar worthy confusion. The city was 'never' without power and daily life had never changed. Great, more bullshit.

New arrivals are brought in the same way as they have in the past and that same, annoying, train tour is available the day after orientation. The city is in clean up mode. While the Up and the Down vary in levels of cleanliness, all of Duplicity is actively sprucing the place up. Fresh paint. Street cleaning. Those oh so satisfying pressure washers are out and about. There's a surprise visitor coming and Duplicity's government and the LIEs program are hasty to prepare.

Duplicity needs your help! For every hour of cleaning, an Eternity Card usable for purchases by both Dominants and Submissives, will be loaded with twenty bucks. For every hour completed with a partner, it's thirty!

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.

In preparation for the super mysterious visitor, Duplicity is asking for everyone to band together for a day of fundraising.

Get out there and show those businesses some love. On showcase are The Naughty Persian, PECS, The 13th Step, the Arena, and:

Invented by an elderly Dominant and Submissive couple, Fildos are exactly what one might imagine them to be: portable dildos placed onto the fingers for immediate pleasure and satisfaction. At one of the many sample shops found throughout the Down, workers are happy to construct personalized Fildos right there on the spot. A mold of the buyer's fingers are taken, and within an hour, everything is ready.

Individual Fildos are always sold in a set of 10. (And for those a little more adventurous, there are the occasional Tildo shops to be found as well.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Erik why are you so over the top like this?]

If you're inviting me to, I'd be delighted. What were you thinking of making?

[Just excuse him as he watches the kitchen activity because he's going to be so amused if you put the wrong ingredients together from your showing off, Erik.]

Thought about making some pistachio-encrusted salmon on farro with glazed carrots.

[ Speaking of whoops, back into the fridge for you, kale. ]

Sounds much nicer than the beans and toast I was planning on tonight.

[Okay, so the sight of the kale whizzing out and back into the fridge might have made Charles grin a bit.]

[ Sometimes the crane machine doesn't work too well. ]

Are they beans from a can?

[ Judging a little bit. ]

[Cheerfully:]

They're the only kind I know how to deal with.

[ Erik looks. Offended?? ]

Is that how you were planning on feeding yourself for the foreseeable future?

Erik. In all that time we lived together, can you remember one time that I cooked anything beyond toast with eggs and beans? I was a hazard in the kitchen when I could walk. Now I can't even reach the counters comfortably. What do you expect?

[Charles looks amused at Erik's offended expression.]

[ Erik is going to have to break in and just leave food in Charles's fridge at this rate. ]

Can you even get into your building?

[ Is there a ramp? Erik does not remember a ramp. ]

I... might occasionally need to 'encourage' some assistance.

[i.e. he's taken to having strong-looking passerby to come and help him past the entry stairs until he can get to the lift. And he just freefalls his way outdoors.

Somewhere out there, Hank is screaming into a pillow.]

I manage.

You are nothing if not stubborn.

Fine, see how long you can stand this for.

Also, it's your turn.

You're one to talk of stubbornness.

[Scoffing and moving his piece before putting the whiskey aside in favor of tea.]

Oh, are we going to have this argument again?

Couldn't we have waited a week or two?

Is this an argument? Funny, I've gotten used to things being considerably more... explosive when we argue.

If you fetch that lip balm, we could skip right ahead to literally kissing and making up before you send me round the bend again.

You really think it's the hedonism that's got me this way, don't you?

I ensure you, you won't be held responsible for the upkeep of my mood.

We both know I'm as likely to anger you as I am to lift your spirits, so let's not even entertain the possibility of my being here for that manner of upkeep.

Just as we both know it's not the sexuality of this place that has you hovering that much closer to rage than serenity. [Leaning back in his chair with a sigh, hands steepled before him.]

No. I also feel... 'disturbed' from how the powerless are treated.

Then, let's do something about it.

Together. You know you don't want to do this without me.

[ He might be a bit of a loose cannon, but he also brings a lot to the table.

I don't know whose turn it is, but it's Erik's now. He takes a bishop. ]

... I need to think on it.

[Or he needs to shove some of his own memories at Erik. Because clearly there's a lot that Erik is... unaware of. That haven't happened yet in his time.

Is this some other twist of fate, where someone in the future has decided to mess around with the past, to force different experiences on them to try to make a better outcome? Would this change the events that lead to Erik's crimes?]

... Is something burning? [No, seriously. What's happening in your possessed kitchen?]

No, that's just the smoker.

[ He does, however, open up the balcony doors a tad to air out the smoke. And what's he smoking? Is that farro? Why is he smoking a grain? ]

So tell me, when is the last time we saw each other?

Hopefully not as long as I remember.

Five years this time. [Calmly sipping his tea, glancing over at the smoker because he doesn't cook so what would he know?] 10 before that. It's 1978 for me.

What about you? How long has it been since you last saw me?

Oh.

[ He plays with his teacup. ]

About a year and a half ago, on a beach.

[ Which means most of the Brotherhood is still alive and well, and Charles's school is probably still thriving. ]

I hope you know we would have dropped you off at the hospital first, if I knew.

... I know. Now. [Smiles a bit tiredly at that and adds without an ounce of guilt:] I... might have punched you when we came face-to-face for the first time after so long.

[ Erik actually laughs at this. ]

Did you now?

Must've been when I got out of prison. Was it because I didn't come see you first?

Ooh.

Did I fake my death to get out?

I was breaking you out of prison, actually. I was quite happy to leave you there, but a time-traveling mutant insisted we'd have to work together to save the world. Again.

[Smiling a bit more comfortably at that laugh because it's been so long since he heard it, and it's a pleasant sound.]

You broke me out of prison.

[ His laugh just grows brighter, bigger. Like he hasn't heard anything so ridiculous in a long time. ]

You broke the law and then punched me? I'd like to see this side of you.

I doubt it. [Oh look, now that smile's turning wry as he deliberately goes for the whiskey instead of the tea.]

You were rather disgusted with me, in all honesty. I didn't need to read your mind to understand that.
