« « « 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!!

"It's okay not to know. That takes time, my dear." It's hard not to be reminded of when he had first arrived in Duplicity himself, if he's honest. The clumsy but ready efforts, the attempt to imitate motions without necessarily having the skill to manage replicating them as they should be..... Ah, what a charming innocence, like a chick taking its first shaky steps out of its egg! Just how long will Epel hold onto it? How long will it be until Epel is soaring overhead on strong wings of his own?

Oh, he can't wait to watch Epel learn to fly. Teeth catch at Epel's lip in a light, scolding nip--keep paying attention to him, not to those little nagging doubts trying to intrude on their moment. Epel will still have plenty of time to hear them out later. "You're allowed to take some time to explore. How do you know what position you should play in Spelldrive, if you can't play a few games in all of them, and see how you do?"

Epel almost argues a little after all hadn’t Rook just told him to ask if he wanted anything? It’s all frustrating.

“Mmph!” Epel gasps at the sharp sensation of teeth on his sensitive lip. It didn’t hurt, not at all but it was a stranger sort of pleasure and heat that made his cock feel like it jumped in his pants. He squirms a little, barely following what Rook says after.

His fingers where he’s wrapped his arms around Rook seem to discover the edges of his hair within reach and his fingers toy with some. “It’s not Spelldrive.”

"No, of course not. Still..... there are common lessons between them, I think? I found them helpful when I first arrived, at least." Rook can only shrug helplessly at that; who knows how different their ideas of intimacy are, after all? As much of a sentimental romantic as he is at heart, he'd chosen to approach sex from a more practical standpoint than most probably do here. A sport, a skill set, a hobby, an opportunity for self-exploration, a way to bond with those he loves.....

Love is infinitely expansive, endlessly nuanced. There are as many ways to express it as there are people to hold that love in their hearts. It doesn't really matter what Epel settles on thinking about it, in the end--as long as he has the time and space he needs to explore, gives himself the grace to not be perfectly skilled or have all the answers right away..... as long as he can manage that, he'll grow into himself eventually.

Still, Rook can't help a slyly mischievous smile, even as Epel's fingers find silky hair to play with. Can a huntsman really be blamed for zeroing in on his prey's weakness, when Epel is so beautifully reactive? Collar be damned, Rook's mouth is drifting down, sucking and nibbling experimentally on Epel's neck. Does he dare to leave a mark already? "It seems you've found at least one thing you want already."

[personal profile] geegollygosh 2025-03-24 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Maybe Epel just isn’t in the place to be able to think about it like that yet. His mind is so full of what’s happening right now. The rational logic Rook offers is missing him by a mile at the moment. It would definitely be something that he should revisit.

The silky hair moves through his fingers so easily, he rubs it and the sensation has a calming effect. He exhales when Rook’s lips are felt on his neck. His legs press toward each other though they just really squeeze Rook with the way he’s straddled him. “Ah,” he bites down on his own lip. It feels good, everything Rook does feels good. His fingers curl the hair around them probably a little too roughly though that’s not intentional or on purpose.

“Rook,” he mumbles. “I want you,” he doesn’t think through what he’s saying, the words are out but Rook is making him feel good. That much is something he can tell clearly.

"Good." This is progress, isn't it? Even if it's instinctive, gripping him so tightly is still something concrete, something he knows he wants--something he can hold onto in the face of all this uncertainty, literally and metaphorically. It's only right to encourage him.

Rook lets the fingers buried in his hair urge him in, soft nibbles turning into a harsh, biting kiss. There's no way anyone could think Epel is unattached once they see such a glaringly obvious bruise, could they? It's not only a safety measure, but a viscerally satisfying claim on him..... and if Epel is a little too shy to show it in public? It'll be a good way to teach him how to mask these things with makeup, too. "You have me, beautiful. All of me, until you're completely satisfied."

Concrete, familiar, trustworthy… Rook is all those things for Epel. He knows even if this whole situation is crazy and weird and he’s not sure how to feel about it overall that he’s at least safe with Rook. He can’t fathom what’s going to satisfy the burning inside of him, the arousal that’s more intense than anything he’s felt during his own time exploring before now. But Rook’s there and touching him and oh.

The slightly ticklish nibbles that sent tiny shivers down his spine suddenly changed into a tidal wave when Rook’s lips really bit him. He didn’t catch the cry that came out, part shocked and part… absolutely filthy even to his own ears. His fingers tugged on Rook’s hair and instinctively his hips pressed downward. Apparently he likes that a lot. Did it always feel like that? Epel has no way to know but right now it feels really good and drives his desire deeper, the need for something so he can crest the top…

It’s so different than hurried jerk off sessions when he’s sure he has a moment alone.

Rook purrs in satisfaction against soft skin, his own arousal stirring to life beneath Epel. Is it the way Epel yanks at his hair? How he grinds against him? Such a wonderfully lewd cry of need? Simply getting to sink his teeth into him? It doesn't really matter one way or the other; Rook lifts his hips to rock up into him encouragingly, tongue dragging over the angry red mark he'd left behind. That's going to be sore later, won't it?

It should be fine, though. Epel isn't made of glass, no matter how dainty he may look; an ice pack will be enough to sort him out. As tightly as they're pressed together, he can't squeeze a hand between them; a hand slides down Epel's back instead, giving his ass a bold squeeze to encourage him to keep moving. There's no shame in taking what he wants, now that his body is speaking up, is there?
geegollygosh: (epel8)

[personal profile] geegollygosh 2025-03-25 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
It’s the first time that epel really feels Rook’s body — the moment the other lifted his hips and well it’s kind of the obvious thought that oh he’s not alone, for real — it’s happening to Rook too. The wet spot on his neck, red and still smarting from the bite keeps drawing his attention too and the hand that’s not tangled in Rook’s hair pulls to touch it, letting out a heavy breath. He’s still processing what’s already happened and hadn’t finished before a new wave of pleasure shocks his system. He’d have never been able to guess that his body could feel all these things, be sensitive to the most innocuous things like someone grabbing his ass.

“Oh, ah,” he can’t find an actually word to say but staying quiet seems impossible too as he rocks his hips down, and he feels like he could come at any moment but it keeps not happening. He keeps rocking down, keeping his hand in Rook’s hair and grasping at his shoulder with the other. It takes him a bit to find the words but already he’s a little frustrated. He’s never felt the sense of getting close and yet not being able to finished. “It’s not enough,” which is insane, it’s already too much, so much more than he’s ever felt.

Succumbing to such a thing is surely less embarrassing when you know you're not the problem. Even Rook's iron will can only go so far; his heart beating against Epel's chest may be as steady and measured as though they're having a simple conversation, but there's no denying the growing heat radiating from him, let alone how hard he's getting. At first, he simply focuses on moving together with Epel, grinding against him with shameless eagerness--only to find his brows raising sharply at the protest.

"Truly? You must have far more stamina than I arrived with." Color him impressed; until he realizes their predicament, it only seems natural to assume that Epel is just that naturally gifted.

[personal profile] geegollygosh 2025-04-11 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Epel makes a quiet noise, tinged with desperation. As much as he wants to take that praise he knows that he doesn't last like this. "It's...not-- I'm not... This isn't normal," Epel doesn't leave it for Rook to figure out as he already knows something has to be different.

He would have come so easily from having contact with someone, he felt that swell time and time again already, and yet he hadn't humiliated himself by coming too early as would have been expected.
beauman: (pic#15546853)

[personal profile] beauman 2025-04-11 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Non? Then this must be....." Rook can only sigh, somewhere between frustrated and resigned. This is like that tea he bought when the botanical gardens opened, isn't it? It might not completely prevent them from climaxing the way Epel seems to be now, but it certainly heightens stamina to frankly absurd degrees. It had nearly gotten them into real trouble back then, given the dangerous plant they had run into so soon after, but now.....

Now, it's not an unfortunate mismatch. It's all happening at once; they're clearly meant to be desperate, overwhelmed with lust yet unable to satisfy it. What a cruel joke to play on newcomers! "We should probably recover once we get off the bus, in that case. But until then..... just try to enjoy it, hmmm?"

After all, it's not every day that you're able to just ignore your limits! This way, they can toy with Epel as long as they want, can't they?
geegollygosh: (epel2)

[personal profile] geegollygosh 2025-04-16 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Epel is not sure how he feels about ignoring his usual stamina limits. He can't think and he feels so desperate and helpless. "It's...too," he doesn't finish that sentence. How weak would it be say it's too much when Rook thinks it's fine. How much longer will they be on the bus, he wonders.

His face nuzzles into the crook of Rook's neck as he strokes his hair again. His breath comes out in hot puffs before he kisses at his skin. It feels like it should be forbidden and yet here they are.
beauman: (pic#15546848)

[personal profile] beauman 2025-04-17 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Mmmm....." He thinks he can guess what Epel was going to say. After all, it is too much, isn't it? The intense heat of soft lips and heavy breath against his skin is almost unbearable, only making the urge to peel off sweaty clothes that much stronger. His cock aches with every little shift of Epel's hips, straining tight against his trousers; it's hard to imagine he could ever find anything satisfying enough to bring him relief, if it's not Epel he's buried in. He's just so, so.....

But even that won't be enough, will it? Not given the effects of whatever this is. That delicious tension, not quite knowing what you want or which direction you should let yourself be pulled in--he's found he rather likes it, over the time he's lived here. There's no mistaking the mischievous, greedy glitter in Rook's eye, should Epel think to look up at him; one arm falls away from his waist, hand instead cupping Epel through his trousers to start squeezing and stroking him, firm and deliberate. If just contact and kissing is enough to make him struggle, how will he like this? "It being too much is half the fun, don't you think?"
geegollygosh: (Default)

[personal profile] geegollygosh 2025-04-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)

Epel misses the look because he’s far too busy layering kisses over Rook’s neck, breathing heavily and feeling overwhelmed. Then again — he doesn’t even know what overwhelmed really is yet.

“Ah,” he gasps, instinctively biting Rook as his hips jerk upward at the sudden direct touches. The ache he’d felt before is nothing to the growing need and shocks of pleasure that have him squirming more. He pants out heavy breaths, holding on tight to Rook.

“You’re hard too,” he mumbles, feeling him. As he squirms on his lap. “Rook… what do I do?” He continues. The others driving him crazy but maybe he wants to do the same to rook.

beauman: (pic#15546848)

[personal profile] beauman 2025-04-20 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah!" It's enough to startle a breathy, delighted laugh out of Rook; he rolls his head to the side, obligingly baring his neck further for Epel. How could he not be pleased, when he even enjoys so much sharper teeth against his throat? "Who would ever expect a poison apple to bite back?"

Rook can't help but shudder under such pointed squirming, hips raising to meet him; even with so much more experience and stamina built up, he's getting entirely too overeager himself. How far is it between stops, again? He couldn't have gotten on that long ago..... They might have to endure this for a little while yet. Gloved fingers move to sneak under Epel's waistband, to more easily take him in hand--the less fabric there is between them, the more satisfied they both should be. "I never said I wasn't, beautiful. Shall we find out how much of me you can take?"

He certainly wouldn't be the only one getting ridden right now. But who could focus on their audience fellow passengers, when he has someone so breathtakingly gorgeous in his lap to play with?
geegollygosh: (epel2)

[personal profile] geegollygosh 2025-04-30 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Epel doesn’t miss that Rook had reacted positively to the bite which is good because he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to keep from doing it again. He shivers a little, unable to keep from squirming further on Rook’s lap. It feels like it’s been forever already, his cock is more sensitive than he’s used to and the aching need for release is beyond anything he’s imagined before.

He bites at Rook’s neck again as the other’s hand touched him even more intimately. He pants when he lets the skin go, hips rocking desperate for release that just isn’t coming.

“Take you?” He mumbles, eyes closed and he’s pretending he doesn’t know other people are around. “Please,” he doesn’t even know what he’s begging for anymore. More. Anything. To come.
