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!! |
Re: he's just a sad guy trying to stay happy like his friends remember him to not cause alarm
[He is glad that Reno is dressed though so he will have to thank Rude and Tseng for having found the man before him first.]
Yeah I wouldn't offer if I didn't mean it. I don't have too much on me at the moment but I can still treat you if you're hungry.
[A light blush darkens his already darker complexion as he fidgets a little with his grey hoodie he's currently wearing.] I do have one partner, a girl. Or..well..a lady. She's really elegant. If you want I can take you to my house after we get you more stamps. It's nothing big like Tseng or Rude's places but it's nice for me. [His face hust gets a darker red and he tries to change the topic by clearing his throat and crossing his arms over his chest which only accentuates his chest really, even in a loose hoodie. ] A-anyway...what do we need to do for the stamps?
no subject
[Reno can easily connect the dots. He knows the puppy and Aerith were close, hell, he tried to deliver their damn letters before .. well.
And with Aerith's talent for flowers, he can see why Zack would want to do something like this. But he just nods and lets it pass. After all, he can understand Zack to a degree, Aerith just has that effect on people.]
... Food actually sounds awesome, I didn't have a bite since I arrived here, but I had a fucking cocktail. Don't mind a little afternoon buzz, and it takes more than that one drink, but yeah, I could slowly use something to bite.
[Oh, it's cute when people get all flustered, red even, just by some simple questions, or when they are meant to talk about something. Truly adorable.]
Don't worry, I haven't seen either of their places yet, nor my own, so not like I'd be judging you. Well, other than in Shinra standards, obviously~
But a lady, huh? Something serious?
[reno just has to ask. For one, because he's fucking curious, and also because he wants to see just how red the puppy can become.]
Ah, right! the stamps. Well .. [He points at the sign that shows several sex positions for them to recreate.]
Which one would you wanna do? Are you more into the "Upstanding Citizen", "the good ex", or "the butter churner"?
[And yes, all of this is delivered in a way as if he was asking Zack what kind of ice cream he wanted.]
no subject
I know a little cafe I can take you too after but yeah first stamps.
[The blush does linger on his face and darken a bit.] Awww Reno! I..it's... I mean she's my girlfriend but....its complicated okay!
[He didn't want to talk about Relena right now. He cared a lot about her but he still had aches in his chest like he was doing something wrong, like he was being unfair to Aerith even if she wasn't here.] Please? Drop it?
[With his face growing even redder that it spread to the tips of his ears he just grabbed Reno's hand and dragged him away pulling him by his hand to a more secluded spot and then pulled him closer to his chest, practically squishing the red head to him.]
We just have to do one right??? Let's do the first one! Whatever you said it was and get it over with over here. We don't have to do it in front of the others right??? [was Zack shy? Oh you bet he was.]
no subject
Okay, why in the hell do you look so .. like a beaten puppy right now? Am I missin' anything?
[Oh, watching Zack writhe like that is too amusing. Blushing all over the face when talking about his girlfriend?]
Complicated, huh? Okay, okay, [he raises his hands] I'll drop it. But only cause it's you.
[And because he still feels guilty, and somehow this damn puppy winds his way into everyone's heart, even if Reno doesn't like to admit it.
So he'll play nice. For once.
However, he laughs when Zack pulls him away from the crowd where Reno had just asked loudly if anyone was willing to help. Clearly one of them is a bit more easily flustered than the other.]
Yeah, just one. The Upstanding Citizen then?
I assume you don't wanna be the one who jumps into my arms, hmm?
[Reno shows Zack the picture, but then raises an eyebrow]
It's just the pose though, right? We don't have to actually perform it? I mean, I wouldn't mind, but it wouldn't surprise me from what I've seen so far in this place.
no subject
[oh maybe he needs to smile more. His friends from home know him as the happy puppy Zack and he does still smile here but its sometimes so much harder to smile here. He does put on a hesitant smile to not make Reno worried.]
I'll maybe tell you some other time. You just got here we probably have plenty of time. You must have lots going through your mind right? [He pats Reno's shoulder and then looks him over a bit.]
I mean I wouldn't mind either position but no offense Reno, bro...but I don't think you could lift me. I weigh more than I look sooo...
[With no warning his big arms just find themselves around Reno's waist and he lifts him with ease as if he weighs nothing. He shifts Reno so he's seated comfortably in his arms and looks up at him, the red still on his face as but his smile being more genuine now.] I.... I think just this is okay...
[He didn't think how intimate this would be until they were in this position but
now with Reno in his arms it feels kind of nice. ]
no subject
He doesn't need to be a Turk to see that Zack is putting on a mask or play for him, without actually meaning it.
But fine, it's none of Reno's business, so he'll drop it, for Zack's sake.]
Yeah, [he looks around the place as if any of it would make any more sense right now, but it's still so weird to see so many people with collars, some on actual leashes, crawling on the ground or having outright sex in public.
Not even Wall Market was like this. Well, at least not openly.]
Takes a bit of getting used to, so far. I don't mind the more "open" atmosphere, but it's certainly a difference to Midgar.
[he huffs, obviously not wanting to lift Zack, but apparently his sarcasm didn't quite land. Well, not surprising, but what is when Zack simply picks him and lifts him up like nothing.
Sure, Reno is slim
and is way to underweight, even for his small height, but a little warning would've been nice.He catches himself easily enough though, and wraps both his arms and legs around Zack, sitting comfortably on the other's hips and glancing down at him with a grin.]
Now look at you. Got some pretty eyes on ya, don't ya?
no subject
[Zack just pouts a bit at the eye compliment. He knows the man is teasing with him now, its not like he hasn't seen them before every time they talk. Though he can't recall a time they've ever been this close to eachother either. That single thought is a little sad to him. He does or rather did consider Reno a friend so maybe they were never as close as he really thought. ]
If you think this is good we can snap a picture. You have your device on you for it right? Can you reach it or need me to grab it?
[Where they are is a little more to the side and a bit more private but Zack can still hear others. He can't see over Reno whose currently blocking his view with his exposed chest. Which now that he's looking at him the man seems a little different than he remembers and he can't place why. It's probably all that time he missed. Reno must be like Rude, from a time later and older. A time after he's long dead.
He looks up into that pretty redheaded face for a moment before rubbing his face against Reno's chest. It's his silent way of apologizing for dying on him too, he doesn't know how to bring up the words to say it but he's here now.]
Hey Reno? I'm....I'm glad you're here and that I found you.
[As he's rubbing his face against Reno's chest he gets to enjoy the nice scent that is just Reno. A small memory of home. Rude, Tifa and Tseng all sort of smell like home still too but they all started to smell like this place a little too and like others as well. He doesn't get to spend one on one time with them all either as much so he doesn't have anyone to remind him of home and he's really missed it. Reno reminds him of the rainy days in Midgar when the streets would be a little less crowded and he'd go meet up with Essai,Sebastian and Kunsel for some warm food. He misses this smell and holds Reno just a little tighter, wanting a little more time with those memories.]
