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. Submissives are provided with a plain black pleather collar to wear and Dominants are given bracelets made of the same black pleather. The simple design is an immediate visual indicator that they have not yet signed a contract and they will be informed that more elaborate or personalized styles are a privilege reserved for those who do. Enjoy your free time until Orientation! Participation is mandatory for all new and past arrivals. The first hints of spring are in the air.

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: bondage/shibari) The featured workshop at this month's Orientation is a trust-building "ropes course." Deepen your bond with your partner and explore the balance between restraint and freedom, as well as the power dynamics inherent in this hands-on learning opportunity. You'll discover the beauty of patience, communication, and connection as you weave intricate patterns of rope around each other's bodies. The class portion of the workshop is brief, featuring demonstrations by NPC Dominants and Submissives, after which characters of opposite designations will be paired up and expected to replicate what was shown. Printed handouts from LIEs will be passed around with step by step instructions for their reference—though some may be less than clear, or only include pictures and diagrams without written directions. Do your best!

(cw: sexual fluids and other body fluids, sexual art, body paint) Want to escape the unpleasantness of the Down? Arrivals are encouraged to partner up and participate in an ongoing public art installation in the Up where they will be invited to shed inhibitions and embrace the raw essense of self-expression through a unique medium: their stained bed sheets. The exhibition is being held in Fiddler's Square's very own Stay & Play Hotel where pairs may rent time in a special reserved block of rooms to work on their intimate canvases. Uncontracted pairs may get a steep discount, or even a free room if they are convincingly passionate. All sheets in these rooms are reactive to moisture of any kind, and each room is stocked with complimentary lubricants and body paints. Through tactile engagement and artistic interpretation, attendees redefine the unity and celebration of their designations coming together and celebrate the complexity and beauty of their experience. Unleash your creativity, and join in defining the art of expression.

(cw: gas leak, aphrodisiacs, altered mental states, hallucinations) The Down isn't a very pleasant place to be, especially for newcomer Submissives who are forced to live in public housing. While the state of the building complex is nothing to phone home about at the best of times, this particular month it's abysmal. Much needed repairs on the plumbing have been ignored for far too long and, after a particularly chilly winter, the hot water heaters are bust. They need replacing, but who is going to pay for that? It'll take some time and a bunch of bureaucratic red tape before the water in the city-provided housing turns warm again. Enjoy your cold showers for the foreseeable future! Or, y'know, suck up to a Dominant and ask them to use their shower. But wait! There's more! As if the plumbing problems aren't bad enough, there is also some kind of gas leak, and a nasty one at that. It doesn't seem to be flammable and no one will be dying in their sleep, but that's the only good news. The fumes from the gas are invisible and also odorless, leaving unsuspecting Submissives (and anyone else who visits the building, for that matter) at the mercy of the effects. In the common areas of the building the exposure is the strongest, but it still seeps into character's rooms as well. Inhaling the gas will leave characters feeling loopy and more open to interacting with others. Some may find that they're feeling extra cuddly and needy, if not outright horny because of it. The rarest—and one of the least pleasant—side effects are the hallucinations some characters may experience, causing them to mistake others for people they may know. After a few days the leak will be repaired, but it'll take a few more days following the fix for the building to be aired out completely.

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 more lawful, they are a Submissive. If your character is more chaotic, they are a Dominant. 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!!

Comments

Lilia Vanrouge | Twisted Wonderland | Dominant

[faebysitting]

Knot Work

[ Now this was interesting. Being brought to this strange world, sorted into a category, and then being walked through the ins and outs of how to tie up a partner? Well, in his old age, Lilia couldn't help but snicker with amusement at the several shy people around him, struggling to so much as watch the display. Oh, to be young again, to feel that flustered over something so small...! When given his printed handout and told to find the Submissive partner he'd be working with, Lilia took it in stride, cheerfully glancing between each person in the crowd.

There...!

His mark is spotted within the crowd.
The target, secured.

It's mere moments before the man appears suddenly in front of them, clutching that diagram close to his chest and leaning up towards them, awfully close already. ]

You. You will be my partner for this exercise.

Splatter Paint

[ What, in any sense of the word, was the point of enjoying yourself if you don't check out everything the world has to offer you? This event was no exception to the rule. It was curious, what these people were able to come up with. Something so... vulgar, treating stained bed sheets as artwork. It was beautiful, in a way, to see how two bodies interacted upon the sheets. Maybe that's why he was here. Or, he was just curious about the current pieces that'd been produced!

A soft hum is let out by the short fae man as he inspects those around him, wondering who of them might be willing to indulge him in a little fun. To stain some bed sheets together, to see what sort of art their bodies could make together.

His gloved fingers twirl a piece of hair idly between them, as he continues his inspection of the crowd. He's approachable, if not too much so, with that cheerful smile of his. ]

Take What You Get

[ What's that saying again? Curiosity killed the cat? Despite being assigned the role of Dominant, Lilia Vanrouge found himself wandering the Down, practically looking for trouble all on his own. It, perhaps, wasn't the wisest decision he'd made in a while, given the rampant crime and gang activity in the area... not that Lilia was worried about his own safety at all. He was confident in himself, in his ability to keep himself safe, without even using magic.

How did he end up in the public Submissive housing, then?
He'd worn himself out from all his wandering, ending up collapsed on one of the couches down in the public area. It was unfortunate, too, as there seemed to be... something making him feel even worse. Dizzy, lightheaded. Oh, perhaps he overdid it.... he should rest here a while, then. Rest this off.]

Poking around on the Net

(un: musclered)
Good afternoon, everyone. I am posting to inquire about a personal interest of mine... in this world, do there exist ways to play any fun games? I've found that being so alone in my apartment, despite being able to bring back so many fun new playmates, has begun to gnaw at me. Recommendations are welcome. I will also take suggestions for company, anytime, dears.

[ OOC: hello all~ it's once again Cherry with another character. Hmu on plurk crimsonpetals if you wanna plot or talk!! Testing out Lilia, haven't played him yet uwu so go easy on me. ]

knot work

[caycay]

[This was a terrible idea. Cater is far from a new arrival, but submissives are often voluntold to participate in these exercises. Just seeing all those ropes isn't enough to get him sweating, but with some of the other ways he's experienced being reminded of what happened between him and Jouno...well, Cater hasn't let himself be in a position where he's restrained.

Guess this is a "fuck it we ball" sort of situation.

He's so worried about how he's going to react to all of this that Cater doesn't make the first move in scoping out a partner. Lilia completely jumpscares him, making him yelp in surprise at the familiar face.]

Lils?! No shot!

[He must be a brand new arrival. And...a dominant, that was good.]

Bruuuuuh, wait until Silver knows you're here! He'll be so happy to...well, actually, maybe happy isn't the right word. [Shit's complicated. But Cater beams, momentarily forgetting the task at hand.] I'm happy to see you!

[faebysitting]

[ Never, ever, would sneaking up on another person get old. Especially when that person was someone he knew just how to sneak up on, like l'il Cater Diamond. Nothing was going to wipe that smug look off his face at the surprised yelp he'd managed to elicit from the taller boy. ]

Well, hello to you too, Cater. [ Lilia snickers, bringing his hand up to half cover his mouth. ]

Silver's here as well? Oh, I wonder how he's faring... this doesn't seem like a place he'd do very well in, as much as I hate to admit that.

[ For the moment, he too ignores their task, half shoving the diagram he'd been given earlier between his legs to allow him to grab one of Cater's hands with both of his own, beaming up at him. ]

Alas-- you must be thriving here, hm? It's a blessing to see a familiar face so soon. The moment I saw you across the room, I knew I had to come over, to choose you as my partner for this activity.

[ Oh no, there's that mischievous look, shining in those crimson eyes. ]

[caycay]

He's...

[You know what, Cater decides that Silver can explain how he's doing for himself. Maybe Lilia would be surprised at what he learns. And Cater, while he sort of wants to be a fly on the wall for that conversation, is wisely choosing to call it none of his business. He's more concerned about himself, when Lilia looks at him with such...devious enthusiasm.]

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or not that you assume I'm thriving in a city like this.

[He's not totally wrong, though. It's complicated.]

You want to tie me up that badly? OMG...

Knots

[colorature]

Will I now?

[If her partner wasn't as interesting (and cute) as he was (and clearly not human) Diva might throw a bit of a fit at his insistence. Instead she's a bit more mellow, even if she isn't pleased about the task at hand. She doesn't like being restrained - there are very few people she willingly would be okay with doing so.

The closeness doesn't bother her in the slightest, considering she's used to invading other people's personal space herself. There's a flash of her fangs as she reaches up to press the pad of her fingertip against his nose. Considering they're the same height, she doesn't have to reach very far at all.]

You ought to introduce yourself first. You are in the presence of royalty you know.

[faebysitting]

Royalty, hmmm?

[ This doesn't seem to phase him. Both the pad of her fingertip against his nose and the statement itself. Royalty didn't mean anything in a place like this, did it?

... or did it??
If it did, then why was she chosen to be a Submissive?
Oh, this just gets more and more intriguing.

Bringing one arm up and over his chest, in one practiced motion he bows to the girl he'd approached. ]

Lilia Vanrouge, at your service, your Highness. [ And not a lick of sarcasm! Good boy. ]

[colorature]

[The bow seems to immediately placate her as she crosses her arms over her chest, watching how he bends. What a delightful sight. When he comes up again she's smiling this time - genuinely too. Oh how easy it was to please her at times.]

At my service? Well good! I'm glad to hear it! I'm Diva.

[She does a little curtsy with the simple but frilly white dress she's wearing. Just because she can.]

Take What You Get. This can stay Gen or otherwise, up to you.

[chosenkingoflucis]

[There's another person marked 'Dominant' who has made his way to the Down provided housing. Though Noctis had ventured there to find someone to contract with and this seemed at good a place as any.

However, socializing and Noctis aren't exactly good friends and he's really people'd out. At least that's what he thinks given his own dizziness and how he is starting to feel hot and a little antsy.

Rest. He probably just needs a little nap.

He too plops down on one of the couches, sags into the cushions, and crosses his arms over his chest. His deep blue eyes meet those of the stranger, and his gives a polite nod, but says nothing.]

im good with anything :D though they might get in trouble if they do much hehehe

[faebysitting]

[ Hearing the tell-tale sound of another body sinking into another of the couches, Lilia lifts his head, staring over at him almost too intensely.

Pushing himself up enough to look at him a little more intensely, Lilia makes the first move, the first hint of conversation, unable to help himself. ]

Another dominant down here, hmm? [ A snicker escapes the smaller man, as he looks the other up and down, as if sizing him up. ]

I wonder... have you come down here for the same reason I have, looking around? Or, perhaps you're getting a head start on a contract search?

[ Couldn't be Lilia, honestly. ]

I mean, not like they can help it if it's in the air!

[chosenkingoflucis]

[After he nods, his eyes flutter closed and he doesn't catch the first return stare. But when the other guy breaks the silence, Noctis cracks one eye and meets the other man's intense, scrutinizing gaze. He yawns tiredly, but fidgets as though he can't hold still, like two parts are warring within him, and his confusion becomes apparent in his expression.]

Little bit of column a, little bit of column b, I guess. [He shrugs.] You?

Take What You Get

[argentisomnum]

[Even contracted, the Down is Silver's home. The threats present don't faze him and he feels a little less resentful of the inequality he faces while here. Much as he struggles with the overwhelming need to guard Idia and Cater every waking moment, he still takes his time to run errands and help those in need when he finds them. His sharp eyes scan for trouble, always watching and wary....

A flash of black and bright pink. Another look as the person disappears into public Submissive housing: hair. That hair....

It couldn't be!

Forgetting everything else at that moment, Silver rushes after the person with his heart beating in his throat. It's impossible, it can't be him!

But it is. Sprawled on the couch, looking half dead asleep, is Lilia Vanrouge. No Submissive mark, but how cruel the city is to do this! Father deserves to retire in peace, to live out his days raising chickens and reminiscing. Tears sting in Silver's eyes as he takes a tentative step toward the diminutive fae, then another, and then he's rushing to the sofa and pulling Lilia off the dingy fabric into a tight embrace.]

F-- Father...!

[faebysitting]

[ Leave it to one unsuspecting-looking fae to keep a keen watch on his surroundings, yet still manage to miss his very own son among the people in the Down, even as the boy rushes after him. If asked, he'd certainly think of an excuse to offer for his near carelessness.

It's only when he hears footsteps rushing towards him that he opens an eye, being pulled up into a tight embrace near immediately, before he can react to what he saw. His instinct at the touch was to see who his adversary was, to prepare an assault if need be--

But... it was no other than his own...!

The moment recognition hit the lightheaded man, his arms quickly wrap around Silver, clutching onto the fabric on the back of his shirt. As cruel as Silver thought this city, there's nowhere that Lilia would rather be, if it meant he couldn't see Silver, hear his voice, to watch him continue to grow into the man he's meant to be. ]

Silver-! [ Easily, he buries his face into Silver's shoulder, if only for a moment. With how dizzy he felt, having someone he could trust with his whole life, right here... helped quell any of the rising anxiety of being so 'helpless' somewhere that could be seen as dangerous. ]

There you are. You found me before I could even begin to look for you!

[argentisomnum]

[Trying to get anything else out for a few minutes is a hopeless endeavor, the young man sobbing into Lilia's hair. Is he crying because he's relieved to see someone so dear after all this time, or out of worry that Duplicity has captured his closest kin? It's impossible to be sure, all these feelings knotted up and squeezing him from the inside. The urge to protect eventually wells up-- how silly, when Lilia was once the greatest general of the fae armies, no matter now that his magic is fading-- and Silver is lifting his foster father into his arms princess-style to bear him from this shabby place.]

Got to get you out of here.... [He sniffles, eyes still streaming but sheer force of will giving him focus.] It's not safe, Idia-senpai will understand....

[He staggers toward the door, head spinning from the gas but he's determined to do his duty for his precious family. If Idia is irritated at someone else knowing about Elysium, Silver will bear the full force of whatever punishment his Dominant metes out.]

Splatter Paint

[terrariums]

Humans are rather curious creatures.

[ Jade has never found Duplicity's customs particularly disgusting or uncomfortable--unpleasant on occasion, perhaps, but for the most part it is simply another day of coming to understand the human race. Their 'modesty' often mirrored equally by such filthy displays of exhibitionism.

How many of their classmates back home were secretly this way? Who was to say all humans aren't? ]

Are you planning to get a room, Lilia-san?

[faebysitting]

[ An easy hum of agreement leaves Lilia at the comment. It's more true than he could even begin to lament about - the strangeness he's seen from humans over his lifetime, his own biases from the past. That all was neither here nor there, however.

Looking up to Jade, Lilia flashes a fangy grin, nodding slightly to him. ]

I've been considering it. Artwork such as this... I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it. Who wouldn't be interested in such an interesting experiment?

[ Crossing his arms comfortably over his chest, Lilia focuses his gaze up towards another one of the sheets. ]

And you? Simply here to look, Jade?

[terrariums]

My former Dominant was a fan of the arts. Work like this seemed as if it would be up his alley... so I had considered researching for a potential purchase for if he should return.

[ Although Belial would likely prefer the sheets splattered with a different shade of red... but he would likely find it as whimsical and charming as Jade and Lilia do. Jade's gloved hand comes to rest on his own chest. ]

As a currently uncontracted Submissive, however, I am not allowed to make a purchase on my own.

Text; UN; Gloomurai

[flameinthedarkness]

[...this is some sick trick. It has to be. The City messing with him again. It's done it plenty of times already; showed him stuff he missed from home, the disaster he made at home, took people away, made him believe other came here. This has to be one of those times. Or some weird coincidence. A case of a shared name among all the many universes that have been dragged to this place. Because if not.

Then the one person Idia considered a friend from back home was here.

MuscleRed. His comrade in video game arms. His companion through raids and grinding and dealing with noobs. It can't be... can it? In a way Idia hopes it's not. MuscleRed doesn't deserve to be stuck in a place like this! He's so much better than that! He should be doing his traveling and doing his work and enjoying their games! Not stuck here! So as hesitant as Idia is to even reach out, to dare to hope, or dread... he has to see. Plus... if it's not him... then at least it's another gamer? Hopefully with someone who has as good a taste in gaming as MuscleRed did!

Ok, ok, ok! He can do this. It takes Idia restarting his text a few times over to get it right but... just be chill! Yeah! Idia's username is the same he used with MuscleRed, if it is him... he would know... right? But it can't be him!

...right?]

there plenty but a lot of them are really themed to this place. can find a few that are more sfw but 99% of them arent. doesnt mean they bad games. some have some real good mechanics and game play despite their nsfw state but u just gotta deal with that kinda stuff at the same time

[faebysitting]

[ Lilia stares at the screen of his little device, eyes wide. The message that came through on the network, replying to the simplest of questions, was from none other than... them. How could it be? It had to be some sort of coincidence. There's no other way to explain it.

And yet, that typing style. It's all too familiar, just as the username is. It brings a smile to Lilia's face, despite everything. This city was something, for sure, but it continued to bring him back around the friends he'd believed he'd be leaving behind.

It stung, a little.
No matter. ]

Gloomurai, you never cease to amaze me. Your expertise is second to none.

[ What better than to pretend this was just them talking like old times? Lilia was never one for awkward reunions or goodbyes, he always did his best to make it seem normal, to push past anything strange within his interpersonal life. ]

Alright, I see.
That isn't an issue to me, I have plenty of experience with things of that nature. Although, I must admit, games centered around those themes will be new to me. You're well aware of the types of games I've focused on in the past.

Have you found any that may be fun to take on together?

[flameinthedarkness]

[...it's him. It's him! It really IS MuscleRed! His OL friend! His real only friend. Someone he has spent so many hours and hour and hour with, grinding through games and trading chats. It's a barb of normality that hasn't struck Idia in a way he has had before in Duplicity, despite those from his world being here. The others here, those who are current here and have gone, he's never really been close with; Azul and the twins were the closest. But MuscleRed... was different.

Idia feeling himself tearing up as the weight of this all settles on him. MuscleRed has been such a joy and anchor in his dark life, a temporary island within a sea of darkness, one that Idia knew he would have to give up eventually after NRC. So to have him here, with all the madness that has happened to Idia, it's almost too much. Despite the overwhelming emotions Idia still chuckles behind his screen as MuscleRed recognizes him and then so smoothly moves along. Idia wouldn't expect anything less! MuscleRed is amazing! He knows just the right amount of push but also distance to keep.

It takes Idia a few moments, a sniff here and there, wiping at his eyes with the heels of his palm, before he can respond.]

www good will prepare u for this place. its a lot. a LOT a lot. oh those games totally existed back in our world but they just so overly abundant here. ive been working on some patches for the better ones i like, remodeling and rescripting stuff to make it less sexual so can actually enjoy the game without body parts shoved at u every 2 seconds.

totally avoid any fps tho. u dont wanna know what they doing in those.

ive not found a good replacement for our main game n even if i did i donno if would wanna play it. www u know how bad it was back normally with emotes and the rp chats ppl would do. those cringe even to me. it would be 100x worse here www

[eelusive]

[Floyd certainly wouldn't call himself an art connoisseur, let alone an artist, but he knows what he likes and he knows what sounds fun, and there's plenty of both, it seems, at this fancy new installation up top. So, curious, he wanders into the hotel lobby... then belatedly realizes he probably should have brought his new Dominant with him.

Ah, well. If he has to schmooze one around here to have a good time, then so it is. He's become quite good at charming customers at the cafe, after all. It wouldn't do to put his skills to waste, even off the clock.

However, Floyd doesn't expect to see a familiar face standing in the crowd. It's hard to miss him--hard to miss both of them, what with the drastic difference in height, made all the more obvious when Floyd draws near.]

Yo, they snagged you, Devilfishie? I bet you'd be loads of fun here~

(( ooc: Floyd's canon point is up to the beginning of Book 7, so feel free to let me know if you want me to avoid spoilers, btw! ♥ ))

[faebysitting]

[ It's only when a familiar voice sounds out does Lilia stop inspecting the sheets he was peeking at, the supposed 'art' in front of him, displayed without a single ounce of shame. Not that he felt shame in any way. More, he was curious, looking at each display with a new sense of fascination.

The taller man is regarded with a cheerful fangy smile, a slight nod offered in response to the question. ]

Indeed, the city's grasped me within its clutches. Not that I have much to complain about, this place has been very fun so far.

[ One hand settles on his own hip, the other resting on his chin in a brief moment of thought. He leans slightly up towards the other, seeming to inspect him.

Submissive.
How fitting.

His gaze becomes more full of mischief by the second. ]

I never thought you'd be the type to appreciate art, Floyd.

(( ooc: im snagging lilia from like near the beginning of book 7 too so nw!!!! but i am, in fact, jumping around the story LOL))

[milkyslut]

[ Oh the vibes in this Denny's in this little man are atrocious. Morvay may be new here, but he can tell a shitty little vampire when he sees one! ]

Who, me?

[ The flicking of Morvay's tail is more akin to an annoyed cat than receptive. ]

[faebysitting]

Yes, you.

[ A snicker escapes the fae, as he leans up slightly towards the taller man, peering at the Submissive mark and the collar around his neck. The annoyed flicks of his tail are far from missed. ]

Unless you'd prefer to approach another person with the offer of pairing up? Unfortunately, it seems as though most have partners already...

[ His pitying tone was laced with sarcasm, his eyes narrowing slightly up at the.... what is he? Not a human, by the tail and horns. Maybe some sort of fae? Or, or, or...

Whatever he is, he certainly looked like an interesting plaything. ]

[wantingmore]

[Claudia makes it a priority to greet new guests that don't fall in line with that of a standard human. Usually, this means unfamiliar vampires, but every so often something else entirely strolls through the door. This evening, Claudia picks up a scent that she can't at all place walking through the door, so of course she puts down what she's doing at once and is out of her office in a flash.]

Hello.

[Oh, it's a rather petite young man, isn't it? Not that she's one to assume he's actually young or at all weak due to his stature. He could be any manner of creature, after all, that's lived an impossibly long stretch of life. The Leech brothers are probably the only inhuman creatures she's met that are actually as young as they appear. As far as vampires go, she's still practically a child with so much to learn.]

Welcome to Fangtasy. Is this your first time in our establishment?

[She knows it is, but it's still impolite to be so forward.]

[faebysitting]

[ A simple task stood in front of Lilia Vanrouge: find a job, to provide for both himself and the Submissive he eventually took under his wing, whoever that may be. If he was to be here for a while, he might as well get acquainted with what sorts of jobs he might be able to get around the city. This, of course, is not actually why Lilia wanders into Fangtasy on this day. The place had caught his eye, his interest, even if he had no way to actually buy anything from here yet.
