« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »
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! |
 After stepping through the door and participating in Orientation, LIERs are assembled together in the Up for a tour of Duplicity in its entirety. Seats are in pairs and randomly assigned to Dominants and Submissives alike. Traveling from Fiddler's Square, the train journeys through various parts of the Up, showcasing society and examples of lifestyle. Along the way, frequent stops are made; a variety of passengers can be seen exiting and entering the doors. A Dominant with a kneeling Submissive takes a seat near the front of the train at one stop. A small group of Submissives board and sit closer to the LIERs at another, all seemingly content in their roles. As the tour continues through the Up, the train passes close to the Market and White Wall Bridge and zips by North Park before heading into the Down and bypassing Red Wall Bridge and South Park. The train makes a "final" stop at Riddler's Square, where inhabitants of the Down are instructed to return to their temporary housing. Those who live in the Up are permitted to stay on the train and revisit the same locations while returning. |
 (cw: 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! |
 (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. |
 (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. |
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!! |

"Mal'n me dated a wee bit, an Jay's always been a rival. Carlos's ok, but Uma's my captain. Spent mosta my time wi' her for years now."
no subject
A laugh, and then bluntly: "Who are they, again? I never heard of the Seven having children..."
no subject
It was sort of easy to forget Evie. She hadn't gone to Serpent Prep or associated with any of them most of their childhoods. Her mother had kept her confined to the castle thanks to Maleficent having a temper tantrum back when all the kids were still in the single digits. She and Mal had really clicked right before they all left for Auradon though, so the four were about as tight as it got now. He'd really only just met her though, relatively speaking.
no subject
Granted, he won't remember any of it, but still. For now? It's fascinating... Except for-- "Huh?"
He tilts his head. "Evil queen...?" That didn't sound like any of the seven to him...
no subject
"S'ok. It's kinda confusin even on a good day."
no subject
He trails off, letting himself be pulled along, because you know what? That's fine, he can appreciate exaggerated expressions and gestures.
"That almost makes her sound like a villain, and that can't be right...!"
no subject
Maybe he missed where Kalim said they were all heroes somehow? That really was a hoot though, thinking people like Jafar and Cruella were good guys!
no subject
He leans back, completely confused.
"That's definitely not right!! We're all taught that they're the type of mage we should wanna be!! The Sorcerer of the Sands is one of our more revered figures in the Scalding Sands?!"
That doesn't make sense to him, and honestly, he looks like he's trying to do some math in his head. The math being... villains. Villain math.
no subject
The Isle was free, the VKs and villains were free. Auradon was being forced to take anyone that wanted to cross the bridge. At least in theory. Harry wasn't sure how long it would all last, but there was a potential for amazing things.
no subject
He trails off thoughtfully, what Harry said about loving a villain sticking in his head. He tilts his head thoughtfully again, but goes from leaning back to being normal.
"You're right, though... Anyone can change, if they want to. I was just surprised."
no subject
His voice was soft and Harry looked away, a troubled expression on his face. It wasn't that he wanted to be a villain exactly, it was just . . . He'd liked their life. It was fun and interesting. Doing whatever Uma wanted gave him enough purpose and direction to be happy. But it was all gone now. Gil was going off with Jay, Uma wasn't returning to the island. Mal and Ben were getting married.
Harry didn't know where he'd end up anymore and it was . . . It bothered him when he thought about it.
no subject
Maybe... he was just struggling with talking about himself! A question can't hurt.
no subject
He really just had no idea what life held for the future. If he was really being honest, he'd like a special someone. Everyone else was pairing up and it just looked so . . . nice. To be so wanted and to want someone in return that way. It might help fill the hole of his lost family. Not that he'd ever say that.
no subject
He says it with such sincerity. It's truly a mystery on if he picked up anything, or is just speaking whatever random thought he has. Maybe it was the latter, he didn't seem particularly observant.
"And I guess that includes taking pictures, huh?!"
no subject
He let go of Kalim and started to walk, making a follow me gesture over his shoulder, "C'mon Kalim. We got a lotta pictures tae take."
no subject
Kalim practically jumps to follow him, back to his normal cheery self after the confusion over the seven's worn off.
"What are you taking pictures of again? Sorry, I'm kinda forgetful!"
no subject
"Next place's th'obelisk. Ye sure yer ok tae come wi' me? It's no' th'nicest place." Not that he'd allow anyone to hurt Kalim. He had a sword and a hook and a lifetime of fighting. No one was getting past him easily and Kalim would at least have time to run if everything went to hell.
no subject
That's right, he wanted to get a broom. Now it's coming back to him. Granted, a regular broom isn't the best, and he isn't sure he could really support two people....
Ah, he really does miss the magic carpet.
no subject
no subject
He pulls out his magic pen, and with a flick of the wrist, it turns into a staff? A staff that looks... Well. Very similar to Jafar's staff. It's an obvious homage again.
"So let's look out for each other?!"
no subject
no subject
He laughs and extends the staff out, if Harry wanted to touch it. "I didn't realize I had magic until recently, and I'm only a second year, but I'll do my best to help!" He then winks, self assured.
no subject
"A whole school jus tae teach magic? An did ye no' know ye could do it? How'd ye learn?"
no subject
Kalim laughs and then throws his free hand back behind his head. "Well, I didn't wanna get left behind when he went to Nightraven College... So I thought I'd try to lift a feather."
A hum, and then he looks back at Harry earnestly. "When I did, I almost couldn't believe it. My mom can use magic, but outside of her, no one else in my family's been able to do it for generations!"
no subject
He grinned at Kalim and tapped a finger on the staff lightly, "I'd say ye won the jackpot then. An ye went tae the school together an had lots o'adventures?"
