« « « ALL ON DISPLAY

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.

» » » ALL ABOARD

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.

« « « KNOT WORK

(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.

« « « TAKE WHAT YOU GET

(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.

» » » MOD & OOC NOTES

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!!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Kissing Lilia is fun. It's sexy, passionate fun. He can't help himself from smiling as he feels Lilia's tongue and meets it once again with his own. While arms come around him, his own arms wrap around Lilia's waist, pulling him up off the bed--

--and then he flips them over again, putting himself in that submitting position once more. Of course, his friend was strong enough to take control back whenever he wanted, but...]

That's better.

[Cater really liked this view the best.]

[ The quick turn, shifting their position again, elicits a cheerful laugh from Lilia, his arms still comfortably around Cater's neck for that kiss. With it broken for the moment, Lilia shifts to press his face against his neck instead, moving his hands to rest then against his shoulders.

His breath is hot against Cater's skin as he pants softly there, pressing a very light kiss against the delicate skin along his neck. ]

You enjoy seeing me from below that much?

[ Another soft kiss, this time his fangs briefly scratching across his collarbone. Almost as if he's considering something...

Then, he - mostly jokingly - lightly bites down on Cater, with a small 'nom!' ]

[Cater plays along, letting out a squeal that's a bit more dramatic than it needs to be at the munch before laughing as well, beaming up at Lilia with his flushed face. It's intoxicating, the kind of energy that they have--it's so different from anything he's experienced with his other partners. No, this is a sort of chemistry that he couldn't possibly have with anyone else.]

I enjoy seeing you, full stop. [He gives one of his certified Cater winks.] But you on top of me is the perfect vibe for tonight.

[ It's impossible not to laugh at the dramatics-- laughing along with Cater, Lilia pulls back, moving to sit up again to allow himself to focus down on Cater, with a big dumb smile on his face. Stupid Cater with his stupid flirty attitude, his adorable flushed face. Lilia can't get enough. ]

You silly, silly boy.... [ A gentle flick hits Cater's forehead, a snicker leaving the fae. ]

Important question. Do you think they prestock these places with lube and other supplies? As sexy as shoving my fingers in your mouth to use your saliva as lubrication sounds, I'd prefer something else. I doubt I'll need to prepare much, if there is... [ Living dangerously speaking that blunt. ]

[The cheerfulness of their little back-and-forth does fade a little as Lilia poses his question, a small, audible gulp sounding in Cater's throat. Maybe he's imagining that scenario? Or...]

They definitely do. Check the drawer of the bedside table.

[Speaking from experience? Maybe just a hunch.]

[ With a nod, Lilia leans over towards the bedside table, tugging the drawer open. There! Plenty of things they could use, from different kinds of lube to condoms. They really did stock these places.

Lilia grasps one bottle, setting it onto the bed and closing up the drawer. He doesn't uncap it or even touch it further after, focusing his gaze back down on Cater.]

I must admit. I never thought I'd see the day where Mister Cater Diamond was under me like this.

[ A careful set of fingers traces his jawline, his eyes focused down on him. ]

A silly little fantasy come true for both of us, hmm? Oh, unless you were joking earlier. Were you?

[Cater watches from his place beneath that small frame as Lilia retrieves the lube. For all that fire he was utilizing earlier, for the moment he's pliable putty in Lilia's pale hands, moved at his very touch.]

I wasn't joking--but you have to be.

[He didn't hide his status as a flirt, but Lilia? He was always such the prankster.]

That's okay, though. I don't mind.

[ Words were another method of messing with people, of pulling them into his trap, to shock them and watch their faces as they contort in surprise, shock, and even anger and frustration at times.

As much of a prankster as he was, Lilia wouldn't joke about something this serious.

Well. Maybe he would. ]

Not at all.

[ His hands are resting against Cater's chest once more, fingers curling there. His eyes don't quite meet Cater's. ]

Honest as could be... in this moment, that is.

[ Breathing out a small sigh, he decides to ask: ] Will that complicate this for you?

[Cater doesn't hide the surprise on his face at Lilia's answer. He shakes his head lightly.]

No--I'm way past worrying about something like that.

[In Duplicity, you fuck your friends. It's just what you did. Maybe back at NRC, he'd be more cautious about doing something that could form too much of a meaningful bond, but here it was practically like offering someone a handshake.]

If anything, it just means we're both going to have way more fun than we both expected.

[ Lilia looks back to Cater, in time to see the surprise written on his face. Bringing his hands up again - gods, he's touchy, isn't he? - he carefully cups Cater's face in both. His left thumb carefully traces the diamond mark on his skin. ]

My thought exactly.

[ The two of them could worry about any implications later. Or never. Leaning down, Lilia catches the other's lips in another kiss, trying to reignite that flame he'd inadvertently dimmed. ]

Edited 2024-03-23 06:19 (UTC)

[It doesn't take too much effort. Cater welcomes the kiss wholeheartedly, leaning up into Lilia's touches before making a move of his own. With the two of them down to their underwear, it's officially too tempting to keep his hands even remotely to himself--Cater reaches around to feel the curve of Lilia's ass, pulling their hips toward one another.]

[ Gasping into the kiss as he feels Cater's hands grasping at his ass, his hips respond in turn, shifting to press against Cater's. It's an easy motion, Lilia instinctively grinding down against him. There was no rush, as turned on, worked up, and impatient as he was.

Deepening the kiss, Lilia's fangs again find Cater's lips, this time not being quite as shy with them. He bites down, piercing the skin against his bottom lip, drawing a little more of his blood than before. As he does this, his hands shift down from his cheeks to his jawline, tracing his face until his fingers carefully rest against the back of his head, tangling in his hair.]

[A breath of a moan escapes the redhead as Lilia grinds against him. He's happy to feed into that gesture, using his groping hands to continue that movement, his own hips tipping upward to provide more friction.

That nip of his lip elicits a gasp from Cater, his mouth only opening wider to provide plenty of access, his head tilting back toward the hand in his hair.]

[ Lilia isn't shy, nor does he feel much shame in what they're doing. He whines needily into the kiss, pressing himself further against Cater, his pattern becoming more erratic, needier. He'd never admit that he's beginning to drown in lust for the teen, though. No, that's only something Cater was allowed to tease about, not something Lilia would ever admit.

The tangling fingers tug ever so slightly against his hair, a movement that Lilia doesn't seem to be very consciously aware of. It's more of an instinct, to make him lean his head back, expose more of his neck. To allow his other hand to come up, resting around his throat, grabbing at his jaw as if Cater'd slip out of his grip if he took his hands off him for even one second. His tongue slips into Cater's mouth again, greedily exploring every inch of his mouth, as he grinds down against him, moaning into his mouth. Cater'd have to break the kiss himself if he wanted time to breathe. Lilia's all too focused, for the moment, to even realize they'd need to. ]

[There are so many things that he should be considering. Their previous relationship, his relationship with Silver and all the complications of it, how all of this could turn around and become one big, gigantic mess. But how is Cater supposed to think of anything when Lilia's got his tongue down his throat like that? Damn, compared to everyone's he's been with, Lilia is definitely the best kisser. He commands his mouth like he owns it--it's too sexy.

Their moans mingle as their bodies grind together in a more intense rhythm, and Cater manages for as long as he can before he has to break their kiss, saliva strung between them as Cater gasps for air, whining with pleasure. He's gotten remarkably hard in a short time, teased beyond belief by the growing heat between them.]

I want you so fucking bad.

[As if he even had to say it.]

[ As the kiss is broken, Lilia's left panting, a mix of a few drops of blood and saliva dripping down from his bottom lip, from how intense of a kiss they'd dragged each other into. He can't hold back a grin as he looks down at Cater, eyes half-lidded in focus.

It's not a laugh that bubbles up at the statement, but a happy, distracted hum. His eyes dart across each inch of Cater's face, as if trying to memorize the breathless, flushed mess he'd become under him.]

I want you more than words can describe.

[ It wasn't a competition, and yet... Lilia's words were definitely competitive, playful. His hand fumbles with Cater's waistband, tugging at it, trying to tell him silently to help get those last pieces of clothing off them. ]

[Oh, fuck. That look...Cater feels himself throb throughout his whole body. Lilia's looking at him like he's going to devour him, and all the redhead can do is welcome what's in store for him.

Cater lifts his hips to help Lilia remove his underwear, and his erection is thankful to be released from its prison, popping greedily up toward the fae. At the same time, he uses his own fingers to help slide Lilia's down his legs--really, they were still far too dressed; if they had their magical pens in reach, he'd be tempted to use magic to dissolve them.

As it is, it only takes another moment to free them both from the last of their cotton shackles.]

[ Finally, nothing was hidden under even a single strip of cloth. Hungrily, Lilia ends up staring down at Cater's own erection, his eyes shifting back and forth between his face and that. Who knew he could get Cater so needy like this?

His hand fumbles around on the bed for the small bottle of lube he'd grabbed earlier. His fingertips grasp the bottle, and it's soon shoved against Cater's chest. ]

My nails are too sharp-- [ Finally, for a split second, Lilia seems overly flustered, looking away from Cater, trying to hide his flushed face by avoiding his gaze. ]

You should get me ready. If that's alright with you.

Edited 2024-03-30 08:15 (UTC)

[There's a second of confusion as the bottle hits his chest, but at the explanation Cater lets out a breathless giggle. He pops it open with ease.]

Of course.

[Propping himself up on one elbow, Cater uses his opposite arm to scoot Lilia forward so their cocks are pressed against one another. Then, lubricating his fingers, he reaches around to tease his friend's entrance. He sits up a bit farther, mouth finding Lilia's neck as he slides a finger inside, scouring his inner walls with the pad of his finger.]

[ Thank god Cater didn't taunt him, tease him about this. Lilia's not sure he could handle that, as much as he's the one more in control here. He's far more used to getting himself ready. It felt too intimate to let anyone else do it.

So why's it any different with Cater?

As he's scooted forward, Lilia can't help but shift his hips, grinding himself against Cater's cock. Both of his hands find a spot on Cater's shoulders. His head tilts back as he feels Cater's lips against his neck.

Lilia's nails dig into his shoulders as he slides a finger inside, a needy whine drawn from the fae man then. His hips squirm needily, his breath catching in the back of his throat. ]

Cater...! [ His name is moaned out, in a way that puts Lilia's desire fully on display. Words might not be able to describe it, but his actions sure fucking do. ]

[A shudder of pleasure creeps up his spine as Lilia calls his name. How is he supposed to control himself when he hears that?! And those sharp nails pressing so dangerously into his skin, the hotness of skin against hard skin as their erections grind together...it's all too good!

Cater massages Lilia's insides with his finger, spreading the lubrication around and teasing him thoroughly before he adds another. His lips against Lilia's neck turns into teeth and he nibbles there, sucking and licking as his fingers seek out Lilia's prostate and coil against it.]

[ Lilia's mouth hangs open, allowing any small noise that's drawn out of him to be heard with ease, not suppressed whatsoever. His hips shift against Cater, allowing him to continue grinding against both his fingers inside him and press them further together.

As Cater's teeth nibble at his neck, his fingers ending up finding his prostate, Lilia's nails finally dig into his shoulders hard enough to break skin, his back arching to try and keep Cater's fingers pressing right on that one spot. ]

Good-- Good, right there, [ Lilia breathes out, his voice shaking ever so slightly. ] Mmh, please, Cater... [ He practically whimpers into his ear, overcome for the moment with his pleasure and desire, losing what little filter he had. ]

[Cater loves to be a tease, but that's mostly up until he gets someone in the bedroom. With the position the two of them are in, Cater only has it in his mind to give Lilia everything that his little heart desires. So, he obliges immensely, rubbing hard against that spot, focusing in on it as he runs his tongue up Lilia's neck.

The younger man moans, too, turned on by everything Lilia's doing, feeling so hot and ready for his friend.]

I want to be inside you.

[Cater doesn't stop moving his fingers as he makes the panted admission, his other hand gripping Lilia by his slim waist.]

[ Those few little words, panted out in a similar way to Lilia's own small begs and words he couldn't keep to himself, drove him crazy. That, and the way Cater followed his order exactly, his fingers rubbing harshly against his prostate, his tongue-- god, his tongue on his neck, on the skin he so readily exposes for him. ]

Mmhm-- [ Lilia nods quickly in agreement, words becoming impossible to form among his needy cries.

His body tenses, head leaning forward as he feels the tell-tale twitch of his own arousal, threatening to burst already. Not that it'd be a bad thing - he doesn't plan to stop, even if he does end up reaching a climax just from Cater's fingers alone.]

Hey-- Cater-- I'm... Almost...-- [ He warns, shifting to try and capture Cater's lips in a kiss. ]

[Cater wants to push himself into Lilia's hot and waiting body--but more than that, he wants to make Lilia burst with pleasure. Doing that is such an immediate priority that he doesn't give himself room to stop and think about anything else.

Lilia's lips find his and he gives into the kiss fully, mouth open and inviting. He keeps his fingers moving, following Lilia's every signal, his every twitch, to give his body everything it needs. Yeah, they were definitely going to make a mess--but maybe that was half the fun.]
