« « « 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!!

Stamp and go

[personal profile] beauman 2025-03-11 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
This month's Orientation is rather more involved than usual, isn't it? Rook doesn't really mind going on a sight-seeing trip, or even playing tour guide, but it is nice to be done with the obligation. Rather than go home while so many people are roaming the city, though? Rook has opted to claim a cozy armchair not far from the stamp stand, watching newly arrived LIERs come and go (and occasionally come and go, when the stand generates a particularly juicy posing prompt) while he reads a book of love poetry.

There don't seem to be any familiar faces in sight, but it's rare to see someone both holding a stamp card and unescorted. And what an interesting tattoo! He can't help but be curious enough to speak up--especially knowing the man doesn't have anyone readily on hand to facilitate this little scavenger hunt. If he needs help with one stamp, he'll need help with them all, won't he? "Is something the matter?"

New city

[Philippa hadn't been paying too much attention to any of this. City mandated activities tend to be dull enough as it is but add in a new archaic mode of transportation to the mix and there's pretty much zero chance she's having any fun. So when Jim falls practically on top of her and the uniform catches her eyes they light up very amused. It certainly looks like something out of the federation records she'd seen from the 32nd century even if she hadn't seen them before they jumped with Discovery. It's enough to make the assumption though and if this is some sort of other uniform, too bad. Her hand reaches up up and entwines in the chest of his uniform.]

Watch where you're going, Starfleet. [Her tone is somewhere between annoyed and amused, not wanting to let him get off with it that easy.]

essek thelyss | critical role | submissive

[personal profile] graviturgy 2025-03-11 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
new city new me
[ To say that he is miserable would be the understatement of a lifetime. In more than a century, Essek can recall only a handful of occasions where he has felt so utterly helpless, mortified, furious, and uncomfortable.

Forced into intimate proximity with far too many people, many of them actively engaged in sexual activity, in a sweltering, swaying metal box, it is both a curse and a blessing that he came here from the frozen north. His attire is insulated and layered, and over it all he wears a heavy cloak with a thick collar of soft white fur, obscuring the shape of his body in the way he prefers. A barrier between him and the bodies pressing in on him from all sides, but beneath it all he is absolutely melting. Only his face is visible, the dark grey-purple of his skin flushed a deeper, warmer shade of plum in his cheeks and the pointed tips of his long elven ears. His hands and arms--slender, with wide sleeves--have emerged to unfold a map in front of him, mainly for the purpose of blocking his view of a couple shamelessly...coupling in a nearby seat.

At least he doesn't need to climb into anyone's lap. Concealed beneath the trailing hem of his cloak is the fact that his feet are hovering several inches from the aisle floor, his body suspended in his own magically controlled gravitational field. The spell feels as natural and effortless to him as breathing, yet it is one of the more impressive accomplishments of his life. It also means that when he is suddenly jostled from behind, an instinctive adjustment of his personal gravity keeps him upright, just barely avoiding a chain reaction that would have sent him stumbling into the person in front of him. Violet eyes flashing like a blade, Essek wheels around instinctively, all his welled-up frustration spilling over into indignant fury. ]


Do not touch me.

[ His voice is a soft, acidic hiss, his posture proud and prickly, head held defiantly high regardless of whether he is faced with a so-called dominant or a fellow submissive. This person likely does not deserve his ire, but it is fairly evident that his reaction is less about them than it is everything else. ]


dress me up, adore me
[ He hasn't completed the card. Despite the invaluable advantages it would offer, he simply cannot bring himself to begin trading sexual favors so earnestly.

This, of course, narrows his options significantly. And as a so-called 'submissive,' he did not have many to begin with. Looking at clothing when he cannot even make a purchase on his own behalf is all but pointless, yet still that is where he finds himself. He is only curious, really, about the selection available. Used to dressing finely and modestly, each garment conceptualized and tailored to his precise specifications, they are regrettably limited.

Eventually he does find something he deems passable, the sort of lightweight silken robe he would deem fit to wear for comfort in the privacy of his own home--when he had privacy or a home, that is. As he is idly examining it, an employee stops to ask if he would like to try it on. He answers quickly and decisively, the soft lilt of his voice strained with forced politeness. ]


Ah, no. I am afraid it is...beyond my current means.

[ He's never had to say those words before. Humiliating. Yet it seems that it can get worse. No sooner has he admitted to his temporarily embarrassed situation than the employee turns to a more affluent customer with a proposal. Maybe you'd like to pick something out for him?

Essek's expression, when he looks to the individual in question, is just shy of aghast. ]


ooc notes
[ last month got away from me, so i'm giving this another try! some general info here and kinks here, but the tl;dr is that essek is a high level dnd drow wizard, a recently reformed villain, a secret heretic, an arcane prodigy and prominent political figure despite being relatively young for his people, and he recently tried having friends for the first time and it changed his whole life. he's also demisexual, extremely private, and has some intense intimacy issues, so his sexual experience is...limited. these prompts are pretty much his worst nightmare, and he'll be doing all he can to avoid anything too explicit (and keep it as one-sided as possible), but the potential is there. for smut, he's m/m and characters over 21 only. wildcards are welcome and i'd love to hash out some personalized starters for stamp and go, just drop me a pm to chat! i'm also more than happy to swap to prose if you prefer it. ]

Having been here for quite some time now, Cater isn't eligible for the stamp rally--but as he happens to be making an uncharacteristic stop at the library to research something, can't help but notice different couples coming and going. It so happens that there's someone stuck without a partner as he's on his way out...and being that it's a rather handsome someone, Cater offers a friendly grin and a wink.

Trust me, they don't really put a lot of value on practical.

[Harry was excellent at getting what he wanted; it came from having nothing he hadn't lied, cheated or stolen. Snatching a seat had been child's play, and with the crowd and keeping his head down, no one had pushed him to get up, assuming he actually belonged there.

The city was full of fools.

Suddenly having a handsome man looming over him was a surprise, but a pleasant one. His eyes flicked up and down, catching the mark on his throat, and he smiled slowly. Harry reached up and hooked a finger in the man's collar, letting it hang there to keep the fabric gaping.]



Nae need for apologies mate. Allow me. Not every day I get such a pretty face so close t'my own. Harry.

[Nier had made his way to the boutique. He wasn't intending to buy anything for himself, since he had everything he needed, being here as long as he had been. But he had gotten the stamp card filled and he was looking to give it to another submissive that could need it.

He sees the strange man and overhears him and slowly makes his way over to him. His silvery-white hair shining in the light and his blue eyes gentle.]


Excuse me. [His voice is soft as he speaks.] Did you find something that you'd like to have? I couldn't help but overhear that it was out of your means.

[He smiles gently at him, a submissive mark running down over his throat.]

Jamie doesn't need to do the card thing, but he's had a rough fucking month already and it's a game, so why the hell not? It's as good a way as any to meet new people, right?

He's browsing absently when a clerk gets his attention and gestures to another submissive. Jamie blinks, quickly takes in the absolute horror (pretty subtle, if he's being honest) on the other person's face, and promptly breaks into a sunny smile.

"I'd love to. Go on, I'll find you if we need help." He is not going to need help. Jamie waits rather pointedly for the employee to walk away before he drops the effusively chipper vibe. He peers at the accosted sub and gives a smaller, wan smile.

"Something tells me you don't need anyone's help picking something out, but... I really would like to get something for you, if there's anything you like."

Not the practical type, I reckon.

( not that billy has anything to base that assessment on. he's just as new to this world, arriving in this store only because he's a cheap bastard and a good sale is a good sale. like jim, he's finding that delicate desires is a far cry from abercrombie and fitch, and he's got fuck all to show for his perusing.

he lifts the blouse jim returned to the rack, holds it out, and eyeballs it against jim's frame. )


Not your color, anyhow.

( he replaces it, the fashion expert that he is, and picks a new one. it's pretty much the same, just in a darker shade of peach. )

Give this one a go. Brings out your eyes better.

"Hey, it's okay."

The person Essek spins around to face and snap at is over six feet tall and broad enough that being crammed in here is uncomfortable for him in different ways. He's pulled his hair up to get it off his neck, and at the moment he's got his arms braced on bars, muscles tense now to keep him from moving again as the bus sways taking a corner. Cade can't blame the person - elf? - for being so annoyed. But there's only so much most of them can do about it.

"Sorry about that, didn't grab these fast enough."

For emphasis, one hand pats the bar it's wrapped around. His smile seems easy, but a keen eye might catch the strain in it. It's been a long day already, and he's been coping about as well as he can. Cade straightens up to his full height in an attempt to take up less horizontal space and shifts his position so that he is effectively a barrier between the person he's startled and everyone else on at least three sides. If they want to get away, they can easily duck under his arm. Or tell him to move. But it seems like they would rather be left alone and he's a decent deterrent though here he thinks it might be a matter of time before someone tries to climb him. He'll cross that bridge if he gets there.

As it is, he's also helpfully blocking the uh... enthusiastic couple.

[Shortly after Essek had snapped at a Dominant and brought Caleb's attention to the presence of someone he cares very much about in this very bus (he isn't even sure how he'd missed Essek's presence at all, except that the vehicle is more crowded than he's ever seen it) they find themselves in...a particular situation.

A situation, namely, that does require Essek to make use of a Dominant's lap. But at least in this case, the Dominant in question is Caleb. He'd pushed forward the moment he'd heard that soft-but-angry voice and managed to defuse a tense situation. However, the compromise had been that since Essek clearly can't manage to keep his feet - Caleb had had to stifle a bit of a sound at that - he'll need to find a seat instead. And since Caleb has a seat to return to...

So. Here they are.

The bus had already felt too close and too warm, but Essek's body close to Caleb's adds a whole new dimension of both. He wonders just how red his cheeks are and pointedly keeps his face turned away from the window so as not to find out. His hands are clasped tightly to the sides of his thighs.]


I am...very sorry about this. [Caleb murmurs at Essek's back.] Their tour is much more extensive than usual, but...I think it should still be over soon.

mid-s3 canon point. more m/m leaning for smut.
cw: he kills, he manipulates, and the c-word is, like, his favorite word.



i. new city

( it's a strange place he's found himself in.

he thinks it's a vought thing, because everything comes back to vought. they have the money, the lack of morals. what's to stop them from buying a city and making it the center of some massive dom/sub experiment? the world as he knows it is submitting to their heroes as is.

he's been striped, and bathed, and orientated. he doesn't feel and cleaner or any closer to making sense of the whole thing, but that's what this tour's about, isn't it?

it's clear that submissives are meant to be deferential, but when butcher looks around the bus and sees kneeling gits begging to be rewarded with daddy's cock, he scoffs. doesn't anyone here have any fight left in them? poor bastards.

so, when a seat opens up, butcher takes it. he looks like he belongs there, man-spreading as much as space allows and making himself comfortable. the collar about his neck says he should be standing, or kneeling, and asking some dom for a spot on their lap, but billy's posture says he's not going anywhere. in fact, should anyone approach, dom or sub, he pats his thighs: )


Got a seat right here if you need one.


ii. dress me up

( generally speaking, butcher's got an attire that he sticks to: dark trenchcoat, colorful button-down, yesterday's jeans, last night's mistakes. but butcher didn't do what butcher did to those strangers on that shitty stamp scavenger hunt not to take advantage of a full stamp card. he's getting himself some clothes. lord knows when he'll be able to again, being the way things work here.

unfortunately, billy doesn't want a frilly or a lacy outfit, so he's up a creek here. he doesn't need a 'come fuck me, no fuss, off-the-shoulder, drive your dom wild' blouse; he needs a hawaiin shirt covered in parrots with fraying about the sleeves.

he can't do fuck-all with lace shorts, but the lace top he can maybe, maybe work with. as he tries it on, the pink one, he leaves the curtain to his dressing room open. a topless bloke can't be the worst thing that people around here have seen; they'll manage. )


They want us lubed up and ready to go, eh? Any time, any place?

( and everything about this world helps facilitate that goal, even the clothing. especially the clothing. it's all about sex, and seduction, and submitting— )

They can fuck right off.

( the lies program, the up, the doms, all of them. he's not submitting to a damn thing... but hell if he doesn't get it, why folks around here would want a piece of him.

he looks great in lace. )

[ In an instant Caleb's appearance had bled all the ire from his body. One moment Essek was furious, and the next he was cleansed with shock, relief, concern, hope. Here is the face he has most longed to see. It almost seems unbelievable, too good to be true. Caleb Widogast is here, and on his behalf he tactfully navigates a situation that could have become exponentially worse. Essek does not have the Shadowhand's power here. The reminder that he must mind his attitude and his tongue is jarring, but becomes more bearable in his friend's presence.

In fact, seated as they are now, his friend's presence is unavoidably occupying the entirety of Essek's attention. It's dizzying to go from months longing too lay eyes on this man to sitting in his lap. He's arranged delicately, his back to Caleb's front. In deference to the humid heat, and so that Caleb wouldn't get a face full of white fur, Essek has removed his cloak at last, draping it beside them over the seat. He is wearing many layers still, but that makes this position no less blatantly provocative. The combination of embarrassment and elation in his gut, pulse still pounding from that near-altercation, is thrilling. ]


I will not hear any apologies for helping me, Caleb Widogast.

[ He scolds gently, relishing how that name feels on his tongue once again. His head tips back toward Caleb's shoulder and tilts so that he can look sidelong up at Caleb's face in profile, which is perhaps redder than he has ever seen it before, which he finds fascinating and terribly endearing. They are both rather tense, but Caleb's hands in particular are impossible to miss. ]

Perhaps I should be the one to apologize. You are uncomfortable.

i don't want the world but i'll take this city [new city new me]

An entire city that's the Romance District of Ijincho on crack with state-enforced BDSM roles certainly is a concept, and not one Zhao's liking so far, especially being marked as a Submissive. At least the plain black collar isn't too obtrusive against his usual look, as much as he despises having to wear it.

He piles onto the bus with the rest of his tour group, already feeling a little overwarm in the packed space with his leather jacket but Zhao will die of heat stroke before he sacrifices his aesthetic for weather. Plus what's he supposed to do, just hold his jacket the whole time? Lame.

He elects to stand rather than sit in a stranger's lap or worse, kneel-- look, he's from a Japanese city, standing on crowded transport is not a big deal to him.

"It'd be a lot easier to get a look at shit if they didn't pack us in full to bursting." He comments with a wry grin, peering out the windows between a row of heads and shoulders.

you can take me hot to go [stamp and go]

The prize of being able to buy things himself all for the low cost of completing a stamp rally is too good to pass up, even when he watches a couple groups go before him and sees how it works. None of the poses they got were too bad...

He catches the eye of someone nearby. "Hey, wanna be my stamp buddy?"

raise your hands now body roll [dress me up]

A special sale at a clothing store? How is Zhao ever meant to resist? So of course he doesn't, though honestly most of it's not really what he's looking for. He's severely lacking in spare sunglasses and black streetwear. And he's very particular about his clothing-- the feeling, the fit, and of course the look.

"Not sure what I was expecting, really. Just rows and rows of frilly lace... nice and all, but so not my style." Zhao grumbles to no one in particular as he paws through what feels like an infinite amount of black lace outfits.

"Who would want to be basic when you can wear all these fantastic and sexy creations?" Comes the unnecessary reply from the nearby man dressed in a showy outfit of gold and black.

He's also visibly marked as a submissive but he's looking more like he owns the place, brimming with confidence and a flashy if friendly grin.

A. New City New Me

Epel has been doing his best to adjust to the new surroundings. There are a lot of rules — even more than at NRC. While he chafed under Vil’s strictness he’s struggled even more here. The idea that he is forced into a submissive role stings his pride. He’d been quick to pick up that there isn’t much he can do about it, though, or rather, there’s nothing that can be done about it.

In any case, he’s on the bus for the tour, arms crossed as he knelt. The collar he wears feels heavy to him even though it’s actually not but the sensation against his skin is a constant reminder of his status. His mouth is set in what amounts to more or less a pout as the tour goes on.

While he kneels he starts to get far less comfortable. The bus had been a fine temperature when he first embarked but now it felt stifling. His clothes were irritating him as his skin heated up. It’s not only that but… the heat of arousal is impossible to ignore as it starts as an ember and becomes a flame. His hands move to cover himself and hide it but his eyes start to linger on the Dominant closest to him. Why do they look so good, much better than they had… he wets his lips, looking away and he will do the most to hide the desire welling up.

B. Stamp and Go

The idea of getting money for completing a stamp card is alluring even if Epel doesn’t totally know what he’s getting into at first. At one of the stops he’s found the stand and glances around. Should he just go up to someone and ask or.. he rubs his forearm as he thought through his options. His brows furrowing and he’s not actually paying much attention to who might be near by him as he ponders.

After a few minutes he stills himself, straightening up and to a nearby person he asks, “Do you need someone to take a picture with too?”

[Just two manly dudes in the lacy, frilly clothes shop, having to get some lacy, frilly clothes because it's a bitch in this place. Satan's holding a little lace tube top (because it totally works for bosozoku if he wears it under a coat right? right?) and stalking about looking for something...Not...So sugary...When he sees the open dressing room with some guy just in it, not giving a rat's ass.

...Talking to himself, but that's normal, he figures. Might as well make him look less insane by chipping in, right?
]

Yeah, it's fuckin' annoying. It's like they want us to forget who we were and what we were capable of, if we just fuck our brains out. Pain in my asshole.

Where'd you get that shirt, anyway? Doesn't look so bad. [Honestly, all the lace just makes his eyes glaze over at this point, so he's probably walked past the more masc offerings at least ten times without realising. Don't mind him leaning in a little, as if examining Billy No Ero.]

Shit, looks badass with that hair you humans grow. Wish we grew that, it'd be manly as fuck.

This happened to Finn quite frequently--his awkward shyness pushed him into situations where the locals assumed he was new to the city. That's how he ended up as a tour-taker instead of a tour guide, though he couldn't really complain. It would be nice to have some funds of his own, if only he could complete the stamp card he was given. Of course, there in lied another problem: the teen was far too uncomfortable in his own skin to approach a stranger.

It was lucky for him, then, that someone approached him first. Even more surprising: they looked like they might be around his age! This alone makes Finn relax just a little, and he nods.

"Yeah...I'm not really sure where to start. Is this, um...is this your first stop?"

Does Epel perhaps see someone he recognizes boarding the bus on its next stop, or can he not see around the seats he's kneeling between at all? Someone whose hair is a little too long, who's traded out a uniform and plumed hat for cozy winterwear, whose confident stride falters as he catches a glimpse of lavender hair. Could it be.....? The city has played tricks on all of them so many times, but--

He has to know, even so. Rook squeezes through the crowded bus, murmuring apologizes as he goes--but that doesn't stop him from making there be enough room to let him sit down whether the nearest Dominant likes it or not, smile never wavering. A gloved hand reaches down to cup Epel's chin, all the better to raise his head and get a good look at his face; surely one glance is all it will take. "Monsieur Pommette?"

[ In terms of stoic, seething disapproval alone, Wesker is in good company with the glowering man over by the window. They could commiserate, if any of their mutual invective was being spoken out loud. Like animals, Danse thinks, not even trying to resist, completely throwing all dignity and decorum to the winds.

He doesn't want to be used to this. He'd thought, actually, that he's done a decent enough job thus far of refusing to assimilate. But this notion is put to the test when Wesker pries in vain at the window with a rationale that would have made perfect sense to Danse three weeks ago, and yet has failed even to cross his typically paranoid and well-trained mind here. His added strength would be enough to get the window open if they both tried, but he hesitates to do it. ]


I think a lot of us would find that preferable to the reality here. [ Over his shoulder, a woman does a quick double take, as if just confirming that there are in fact two different men talking. ] Rendering us unconscious would defeat the purpose of this alleged experiment.

[ He delivers the word "experiment" like particularly bitter profanity. ]

They've already done the abduction. They don't need to knock us out and do it again.

[It's not entirely clear whose wrist he'd meant to grab--there's a bit of shuffle just at that moment as a few people get up from one of the seats and others move this way and that to accommodate them. Vrenille had been standing too, but he was just about to slide into the newly vacated spot to make more room in the aisle, and then he feels a hand on his wrist.

He glances up into the face of the young blonde haired man and then briefly over his shoulder to the Dominant whose attentions he's clearly wanting to avoid, sizing up the situation in only a moment--a moment that perhaps gives Sanji opportunity to see that there's a braided brown leather cuff on the wrist he's grabbed, and that it belongs to a man whose neck is unmarked by any line. Whatever the intent, the practical upshot is that Sanji has just traded one Dominant for another (contracted, and therefore presumably well-established) one.

But Vrenille doesn't mind playing along. His eyes move back to the submissive who's got a grip on him, and he gives a little nod towards the open seat, friendly and pleasant, nothing lascivious or suggestive in his manner.]

[Clad in a fitted tracksuit, Jamie saunters onto the bus and peers down the rows of seats curiously. Instead of the default collar, he's wearing something a little gaudy, so he's definitely not a newbie.

His attention is initially drawn by Billy's accent, then captivated by the invitation. Jamie arches his brows and levels a skeptical look on Billy, leaning in slightly.]


Pretty sure you're supposed to be on the floor, mate. [Jamie's Mancunian accent is thick and probably immediately identifiable to a fellow Englishman. He pulls back with a broad smile.]

Lucky for you, I'm a cool tour guide. [Since he has absolutely no sense of self-preservation, Jamie thwaps Billy gently on the head with his map.]

If you're a good lad I'll show you all the nice little joints off the map. Plenty of 'em.

[The voice is familiar, and the German accent, and Jason looks up. His eyes widen just a touch, and it's clear that he's been crying, although he doesn't have the look of someone who was crying tears of deep inconsolable sadness.

He doesn't stand but a hand darts out and grips Kurt's hand. There's not a second of hesitation in the gesture, no confusion over someone blue and furry with hands that aren't quite-

-he lets go a second later.]


Do you-

-is it still-

[He trips over his words. Okay. Okay.]

Kurt?
