« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »


« « « 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. Large piles of snow still linger, but precipitation has turned to rain and the breeze gets a little warmer every day. It's time to swap out wool coats for umbrellas and turtlenecks for tea dresses!



» » » 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.



« « « NEW CITY NEW ME



(cw: cockwarming, lap sitting, frottage, edging, public sexual acts, public displays, public transport)

Far too many people can’t seem to follow directions. Reading a map shouldn’t be that hard, so LIES has taken it upon themselves to update their usual city tour to refresh newcomers and graduates alike. This month’s orientation includes a more in-depth tour than the usual train ride, coupling it with bus routes that lead groups through various stations and stops that show off some of the city’s most notable landmarks. To your left you will see Fiddler's Square, and over on the right you will see the greenhouse, opened just last year. Enjoy this drive along the coast! The beach looks lovely and the lighthouse stands proud and watchful, but the city recommends against visiting either one. Isn't the business district much lovelier, with all the fancy hotels and lively dance clubs?

Dominants and Submissives both new and old are required to take or give the tour at least once, depending on how long they have been in the city. Those who have lived in the city for over six months will find themselves given maps to follow and brochures that describe various places in town; they are paired with newcomers who haven't been here quite as long, and are still learning what the city has to offer them.

Whether a tour guide or a member of the tour group, Dominants will be given priority seating, while Submissives are expected to either kneel at their feet, sit on their laps, or even stay standing in trains and buses that, curiously, are always packed. Everyone’s taking these tours, so it's no wonder these carriages are so crowded.

Something strange happens on these tours, though. It starts small and faint, but the longer you spend in these crowded buses and trains, the hotter you feel - and the people surrounding you look more and more attractive. But this is Duplicity, and no one will bat an eye if the Submissive on a Dominant’s lap starts humping them in front of everyone else… After all, it seems like everyone else is already also doing the same.

The strange part? No one can get off. No matter how far you take it, or how long you try to climax - you just can't. No one can. No one's getting off on this tour, not until the bus or train makes it to each pre-planned stop. Please mind the gap as you disembark, and try not to come all over the concrete the minute you step out of the vehicle!



» » » STAMP AND GO


(cw: randomized kinks, exhibitionism, transactional sex)

The tours aren't all about sex on the go. While the tour guides are given maps and brochures to study up on, the tour-takers are given little stamp cards and instructions to complete a fun stamp rally. Visiting each of the locations on your card can get you an adorable stamp, and completing the stamps will get you a fun and useful prize! Participating locations include:
▪️ The Aquarium
▪️ The Library
▪️ Cupid's Castle
▪️ PUSSY Academy
▪️ The Obelisk
▪️ Riddler's Square
...and more! Every card is different, and will take you all around the Up and the Down.

The catch - you don't get a stamp until you use your device to scan an official code found in stamp stands at each stop. Doing so brings up a pose to be done with at least one other person. Make sure to pose quickly, a camera somewhere in the area will flash in a few moments to take your photo. Some photos are fairly straightforward - a kiss to the cheek, or a slap to the ass. Others are a bit more involved - giving a blowjob, or getting pegged. Don't complain, some unlucky people might get something convoluted (can anyone truly bend that way? Time to find out!). You get unlimited tries to take the perfect picture - so if you don't manage it the first time, simply scan again and strike another pose. Unfortunately the pose won't change with any additional scans, so make sure to do your best with what you’ve been given!

Completed stamp cards can be exchanged at the Orientation Center for a loaded money pass! Particularly valuable to Submissives (uncontracted ones, or ones who want to buy things by themselves), money passes are honored all over the city, and can be used to purchase necessities without a Dominant’s signature. The pass is valid for a whole month, and has enough to cover a month’s worth of decent warm meals, a few indulgences, and maybe some appropriate clothes for the season. Buy whatever you need to impress the Dominant of your dreams and secure a contract that suits your needs.



« « « DRESS ME UP, ADORE ME


(cw: clothes play, optional crossdressing, optional transactional sex, public sex, mirror sex, exhibitionism)

In a bid to attract new customers, the boutique Delicate Desires has partnered with LIES to advertise their shops as a one-stop-shop for new arrivals to get their hands on necessities they’ll need to make their lives easier and more enriched. With every completed stamp card, Submissives will also receive a coupon for 40% off anything in the store. Get a frilly, lacy outfit for every occasion!

If you don’t have any cash or failed to complete your stamp card - don’t fret! Find another Submissive who is willing to spend money on you from their own pass, or find a Dominant to spoil you - with the outfit being one of their choice, of course.

There are changing rooms available for customers to try on outfits and one may find that when they look at themselves in the mirrors of the store, their self-confidence spikes. It doesn’t matter how good or bad they may objectively look, they’ll feel like the hottest person to ever grace Duplicity’s streets. If said boost in confidence comes with feeling hot and bothered, well, the clerks won’t mind if the rooms are used for a quickie, so long as you’re, well, quick about it. They're expecting a lot of customers!

A competing store next door, Allure & Adorn, has decided to use this opportunity to try and lure customers into their own shop, boasting that their clothes are just as good - if not better! - than the ones offered next door. They will also accept the money passes that Submissives may have earned during the stamp rally, but their prices are a little less favorable than the boutique's. Their outfits, instead of their mirrors, seem to make those that wear them feel prone to showing off and indulging in exhibitionist activities. No fucking in the changing rooms here though - this store has class! Go out on the streets if you wish to indulge in that sort of behaviour.



» » » 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:

All new arrivals on this TDM are 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!!

turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - don't criticize)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-15 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[He whispers it. He wants Dick, too, but this is better than okay. This is better than anything that he could have anticipated. This is perfect. This feels real in a way that nothing else really does. He doesn't want anything else.]

I just want - need a little bit longer. Are you hungry?

[His fingers grip into Logan's shirt, and then one hand moves to tug fabric away so he can touch skin, so that he can twist his hand into the thick hair of his belly.]

I don't know if I remember everything. But I remember you. I remember everything about you.
snikthatch: (lying down; what the)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2025-03-15 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. Good. Saves explaining.

[ Logan takes a breath next to Jason's jaw, then pulls away a little, only enough so he can reach down and pull the laces of his boots, tugging them off one by one and letting them thump to the floor. Then he climbs up onto the bed properly, still in his shirt and jeans, and moves to lie down, tugging at Jason to encourage him to come with him. ]

C'mere, birdie. Nothing needs doing right now.
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - get up you embarrassment)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-15 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tangles around Logan, then; legs and arms. Jason is only wearing Logan's boxers and he can't help but like the skin to skin contact the most, his arms coming into Logan's shirt so that he can feel that heated skin.

He presses his mouth to the corner of Logan's mouth.]


I remember how you used to come home after you finished work, before we went out. And how you would always smoke a cigar and have a drink, and then you would want a blowjob. God. You always let yourself have what you wanted.

[His heart feels like it's stuttering but the fear is slowly fading. This feels right.]

I remember the way your mouth felt against me.

I don't remember the last thing you said to me. I don't remember. Did we make up?
wanderstars: (098)

[personal profile] wanderstars 2025-03-15 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's short when compared to her, which helps in this instance. It also probably helps that Kori doesn't waste any time whatsoever in setting up the pose, even directing him as needed so she can rest her breasts on top of his head. For what it's worth, she doesn't press down too much, but they're still very much there, and they sort of drag over his hair when she pulls away.

Her smile widens slowly, almost mischievously, when he's facing her again with that deep blush on his face. Oh, that's really cute, unfortunately for him. ]


I haven't eaten anything there yet. [ Hasn't spent much time there at all, actually. She gets her stamp from the booth, then happily joins Tim again, with a little hop to her step. ] Your face must look even darker than mine on that picture.

[ It's an exaggeration, possibly. She's teasing. ]
wanderstars: (03)

[personal profile] wanderstars 2025-03-15 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good to know.

[ That at least some of the people in this place would not struggle, that was a small comfort. Kori could easily imagine most humans having difficulty with the very principle of sexual activity to achieve their quota, but it seemed that not all had the same issue. ]

I think I'll also be alright. With some of the things in this place, anyway. I don't like this, but... [ She trailed off as she traced her own collar, shrugging. ] I'll have to do my best to ignore it.
umas_second: (pic#17633567)

[personal profile] umas_second 2025-03-15 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Harry lifted his own free hand to the collar on his throat. He'd honestly forgotten about it and the mark. Back home all the VKs were treated as criminals (which they usually were), so getting it in the city as well wasn't really any different than his usual. Maybe things really were changing in Auradon, but he was no longer there to see it. He gave a slight shrug, the smile still firmly on his face.]


They didny force collars on us back home, but we've always been treated as less jus th'same. Suppose it's nae the same where ye come from?
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - ew Dickie)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-15 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He touches the line.]

Yes.

So was Dick.

We had a Dominant, we, uh, we shared one.

[Which might seem a little odd, because, well. Dick and Jason don't share well.]
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - dignity)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-15 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Not yet.

[He hasn't gone to find Logan or Tiger or anyone yet. He isn't sure if he wants to.]

You got a Dominant?

[He isn't looking to see if he even is one, but the last Tim was and his brain just provides that information.]
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - I fucking hate it here)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-15 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jason almost feels a squeeze to his chest; he loves Logan, too. Logan loves him. He looks over and then around a little.]

I can wait for him. Right here.

[He almost stands up, but then he doesn't. Instead he takes a breath, and closes his eyes, and presses his face into his hands.]

How can this feel like such shit?
greatrack: (14)

[personal profile] greatrack 2025-03-15 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hm, that's a good point. Humans seem to get everywhere."

Cade is (almost) certain that he still reads as human to most people. He'd rather it be that way, he thinks. It's better for everyone, especially him. He'd actually been worried about it when he woke up in this weird place, expecting the Mask might be gone. But this world is enough like the one he left that it still sees the need to impose that on him.

If other people are noticing him, Cade doesn't seem to humor their interest. He doesn't look anywhere but at Essek, meeting the dark elf's gaze when it's offered and looking down or away when it's not.

"Kind of makes me wonder what else spans realities."
themisfit: (bamf.)

[personal profile] themisfit 2025-03-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Easily.

[ Matter-of-factly, an attempt at both reassurance and the lighter remark. If he's gone through something at home, then this is undoubtedly jarring on its most basic level. Add the layers of memory, immediate knowledge of the extent of this place's demands, lovers both restored and ripped away...

Overwhelming. Shit. Kurt stands, pacing over to the nearest window. ]


I'll pop down to the corner store there for soda. I'll grab something easy to eat, too. You're bound to get hungry eventually.

[ And he vanishes in a pop of collapsing air, to return in five minute or less with various pop cans and microwaveables. Hopefully helpful, if a little junky. ]
permanentlyexhaustedbird: (judgeybird)

[personal profile] permanentlyexhaustedbird 2025-03-16 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Why would that not be the first thing you do?

[Because of course that's the first thing Tim would do if placed back into this setting with memories intact. The boy has always sought out allies during his time as Robin; Red Robin not as much but he'd ended up with them anyway.

He does nod at the question though]


Kyle Valenti, runs the Haven Hospital here and you've probably heard of him before as he's been in the city for years.
lovethatforme: (sauDeDr)

[personal profile] lovethatforme 2025-03-16 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Alexis is, apparently, going to get herself into trouble here without even trying to.

Some people come to Duplicity and go along with things. Others come here and dig their heels in, refusing to budge on their sense of right and wrong. And then there's her. Who, apparently, had been too busy examining a chip in her manicure to absorb the explanation of her role in this society.

Sure, sure, she'll be fine.

But she's not a complete idiot, really isn't one at all, because something about what he's saying, and the way people are beginning to stare, seems to click, even if the gravity of it doesn't. She glances at the other bus riders, then looks back to Rogue with an over-exaggerated, wide-eyed nod and click of her tongue.

"Ooooh. Right, right. A dominant like you--" Punctuated with a big wink. "Can only give me your seat if you're ordering me to hold it for you."

That... may or may not be a step up from the direction she'd been going in before. But at least it gets her to take a few quick, short tip-tapping steps to the seat so she can drop down into it. And takes a quick peek at the floor he'd mentioned... before yanking her shoe away from something sticky with a disgusted expression on her face. "Ew. How long do we think this is going to last?"
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - I did not steal this costume)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-16 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He pops out and Jason takes the minute to go find one of Logan's shirts and put it on, and then curl on the couch. This seems easier, now, or at least more comfortable.

He doesn't think Logan will kick him out.]


You brought me cookies?

[Frankly, he kind of likes that.]
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Hood - leashed dog)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-16 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
We're not the same.

[That said.]

Yeah, I remember him. Kind of. I didn't really know him.

Wasn't that your Dominant before?
lovethatforme: (sauDeDr)

[personal profile] lovethatforme 2025-03-16 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing she could have done to prepare herself for hearing David's voice. And, at first, she thinks she's hallucinating. She must, be, right? That's the only thing that makes sense.

Except no one could manage that level of shrillness quite like him. And when she turns and sees him (or, his head anyway) above a hideous mohair sweater) she drops top she's holding, hanger and all. "Oh my god! Dayvid!" 

That part's loud enough to draw attention from other shoppers, but the next is mouthed only, exaggerated for effect. "They got you too."

Like it's an Area 51 conspiracy situation.
permanentlyexhaustedbird: (whateverbird)

[personal profile] permanentlyexhaustedbird 2025-03-16 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly

[One of us is making good decisions right now and the other is Jason. Actually, Tim is still antagonising Jason so no good decisions are being made here.]

I don't believe so. He and the other Tim were close but never contracted or dated or anything like that.

Who were you contracted to in the city? or was it one of the Dick's that I was told were in the city all at the same time?
turdusmigratoriusmortuus: (Jay - this violates birds rights)

[personal profile] turdusmigratoriusmortuus 2025-03-16 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Dick was a submissive.

[His mouth twists into a moue, and he considers what he's going to say next.]

Tiger.

I don't think you know him.

[That's half true.]
permanentlyexhaustedbird: (squintybird)

[personal profile] permanentlyexhaustedbird 2025-03-16 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[That's more hesitation than Tim is expecting to get to reveal just a name. Especially one that he doesn't have any context or history with. There's a history there that Jason doesn't expect him to know but is still hesitant to even let him know this much]

You're right, I don't know that name. I don't think they're in the city anymore if that's something you're wondering about.

[personal profile] toopolite 2025-03-16 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
"I cannot say that I myself have ever heard of a king called Ben." Which might be a future king or might be a king that Aramis would never know. Different worlds and realities seemed to be fairly common here, even if that concept had taken Aramis a bit of time to wrap his head around.

"Honestly? Depends on the day. Sometimes we are at our quarters and practice. Sometimes we need to escort. Other days we might be sent out to investigate. We protect those we are told to protect. Search out issues. Root out problems. Drink."

"Our king's nothin like formal, an he's only been king a few years. Before tha it was King Beast, but I didny think ye'd know him either."

Harry nodded as the man spoke, settling back into his seat finally. Most of his curiosity was sated, and it didn't seem like anyone was going to try and bother either of them. That was the best part. He didn't relish the idea of being forced to risk punishment when he didn't even know the hazards, "Ye know, it sounds a lot like life back home. Jus wi less crime."
permanentlyexhaustedbird: (ehehehbird)

[personal profile] permanentlyexhaustedbird 2025-03-16 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a part of Tim that has to keep reminding himself that this is innocent fun. Kori seems entirely too amused but he can't help but remember that this is Dick's ex-girlfriend or ex-fiancee really. It's also his teammate, he's seen her take on giant skeletons and devils and right now she's giggling because she had her boobs on his head.]

It's alright. It's like hospital food, good enough but not like great.

[Tim's hands come up again to cover his cheeks as they move to find a place to eat. His permission slip from his Dominant allowing to make small purchases for food]

Have you? Have you met many people in the city so far? I can help you find employment or vet a Dominant for you?
toopolite: (pic#16802033)

[personal profile] toopolite 2025-03-16 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Aramis shook his head, as no, he didn't know that king either. He did find himself pondering over the nothing like formal statement. He'd never heard of one who wasn't. There was a certain austerity when it came to royalty, although he had witnessed Anne in a more casual manner. That was not the norm though.

"We've plenty of crime back home. Someone had even tried to take the crown's jewels. Some here, although if you mind the gangs and their areas, you should be good enough."
umas_second: (pic#17633567)

[personal profile] umas_second 2025-03-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? What did they plan tae do wi th'things? Couldnae be sellin 'em." If Aramis didn't suspect Harry of being a VK, he didn't see the point in outing himself before it was necessary. The longer he could be seen as harmless, the better. But he couldn't help asking the question. It was one thing to be so daring for a reason, but what would you do with the booty if it couldn't be fenced or used? Put it in a cabinet in your bedroom to stare at?

That was just pointless . . .

[The raise of his brow like that over his glasses does make her snort for a moment.]

I prefer to not have my ass hang out for all to see.

[You know, by her choice at least. Yelena already gets the feeling she is not going to enjoy her choices, or lack thereof here.

But she moves back from the mirrors outside the changing room she had come out of, still looking pretty damn good and feeling that extra surge of confidence which is already fairly high anyway.]


Okay. Men's sections. Suits, yes? Mmm. I see black slacks, jacket.
