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!! |

He stops when she asks him to stay and turns to smile softly at her. “I can join you.” He said closing the door to keep the heat in the bathroom and walks towards the tub. “I do need to clean up as well, and you look like you could fall asleep in the tub. And we don’t want that to happen.” He takes the towel off of his waist and starts to step into the tub with her. It was more than big enough for them.

He was about to ask if she wanted him to wash her back when he froze at the mention of Emil. “Emil’s dead…” He said. He understood her wanting to get back to Yonah. His sister was still alive. But Emil?
no subject
“Look, I tried to find proof that he’s gone, and I couldn’t. No body, no head, nothing. Until I find that, I refuse to believe it,” she says sharply. It’s rare for her to be hopeful, but she needs something to keep her going. Searching helped pass the time.
no subject
“On another note do you want me to get your back before I start washing myself up?” He offered.
no subject
Kainé hums in thought, eyes briefly flicking to him before she looks away again. "Yeah, you can get my back. I can do yours too so we're even."
no subject
“Sounds good.” He said with a smile as he put some soap on the washcloth and started to wash her back.
no subject
Her body tenses at the touch, but she reminds herself to relax. Kainé isn’t used to this kind of treatment.
no subject
He felt her tense when he started to wash her back, and smiled gently. “It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you or do anything weird.” He assured her and soon he started to rinse the soap off. “There, your back is done.”
no subject
His words are oddly soothing. Normally, she’d fire off something snappy, but she stays still as he works on her back.
“All right. Your turn,” she says in a low voice, grabbing a second washcloth and turning around in the tub to face him.
no subject
He nodded when it was his turn. “Of course.” He said turning around in the water so she could get his back. He needed to cut his hair again, feeling it brushing below the tops of his shoulders bothering him.
no subject
"Okay. It's cleaned." It's quick since all they did was have sex, compared to back home where most people end up covered in dirt or blood.
no subject
He leaned back against the tub, enjoying the size of it. He would help her get to bed if she needed it. Then head out unless she asked him to stay.
no subject
Kainé leans back—unintentionally too far—and ends up resting against Nier. The contact startles her. She tenses, instinct telling her to pull away, but… she doesn’t. It’s warm. Quiet. Her body aches and her head’s a mess. Just this once, she lets herself stay.
“We should get out before our skin gets pruney,” she says, followed by a small yawn.
no subject
"Yes, we should, and it would seem someone is ready to get some sleep as well." He said gently catching the small yawn. He lets go of her and reaches down to pull the drain plug. "I can assist you to the bed if you need it." He said refraining from using the word help.
no subject
Sleep sounds good, and having someone help her into bed will be nice. It’s better than risking her legs giving out beneath her—the tenderness is fading, but she’s still not fully recovered. Even by morning, she’ll still be feeling the weight of everything that happened.

“Feeling a little better after the bath?” He asked as he started to ease her back onto the bed once they got there.
no subject
“A bit,” she mutters, settling into the sheets. “Still sore, but the heat helped.” Her eyes flick up to him briefly before shifting away again. “Thanks. For the bath. And… this.” The words aren’t easy, but she says them anyway. She’d look ungrateful otherwise.
no subject
“You’re welcome Kainé.” He said though she didn’t need to thank him. After a few minutes he stood back up picking up her clothes and setting them on top of the dresser before he started to gather his own.
no subject
“If you’re too tired, you can stay here. Or go home. I don’t care,” she says, just above a whisper, as Kainé’s body curls up protectively. It feels odd to extend the offer—but it’s only fair to try, since he’s been kind to her.
no subject
He lay down next to her, curling his body around her and put his arm over her body, though he didn't crawl under the covers with her. Not wanting to push her boundaries more than how the bus ride had. "Get some sleep. I'll be here when you wake up.
no subject
Her body still stiffens when she feels him—though it's not direct contact. Exhaustion dulls the edge of her instinct, and after a long breath, Kainé manages to relax just enough. “Okay,” she mutters around a yawn, eyes slipping shut as she slowly drifts off to sleep.
no subject
He smiled softly as she fell asleep in his arms and then he closed his own eyes drifting off.
