« « « HERE WE ARE AGAIN

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 L.I.E.S. 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 L.I.E.S. after a year; however, results have remained unsatisfactory and testing still continues.

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 highrise. 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.

Enjoy your free time until orientation! Participation is mandatory by all new and old arrivals.

Oh, and one more thing. It's fucking cold. Better bundle up.

» » » LIES TRAVEL IN COMPANY

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.

« « « END IN THE DISCORD

While the societal climate between Dominants and Submissives remains somewhat neutral throughout Duplicity, there has been the occasional whisper of defiance and call for equality. Yet, demonstrations and visible proof of this unhappiness spreads faster by word of mouth on a day exactly when you need it most.

Welcome to Autonomy, a "traveling" nightclub that is never in the same place twice. People wanting to attend only learn of its lucrative location and password hours before it opens for business. Tonight, I choose the third door will get you inside and into the temporary freedom club Autonomy has to offer. In this circle, there are no assigned designations and no consequences for taking a role that isn't the one given by society. So, a Dominant may become the Submissive they've always wanted to be—or vice versa. Dominants and Submissives alike are able to mingle without repercussion and be themselves. Food, drinks, and private areas for more intimate – or if your preference is sexual – encounters are provided. Donations are accepted at any point during the night to further Autonomy's attempts of spreading the fulfillment that comes from being untitled.

On the night you choose to visit, Autonomy is holding a random lottery for temporary connections. When entering, you have the choice of submitting your name into this drawing to be paired with someone else in the club regardless of designation. A short while later, a message will pop up on your device with the name and information of your partner, and whether or not you choose to meet them is purely at your discretion. Having more than one connection isn't completely unusual either.

» » » TABLE IT FOR LATER

Gratification of being a successful Dominant or Submissive isn't necessarily simple. Learning curves are to be made, and mistakes will happen. Led by a Dominant and Submissive couple – Miriam and Victoria, who have been paired for twenty-two years – a monthly meeting for unattached Dominants and Submissives is held in the conference room of Morning Wood motel in the Down. The meeting starts a few minutes after nine and has no designated end time. The couple introduce themselves and explain the purpose of the meeting: learn the proper method for a new kink and possibly find your perfect partner. The space is intimate and well-stocked with refreshments.

To begin, Victoria, while blindfolded, balances on her hands and knees with her back perfectly level. Her partner, when ready, places various items on the level surface–a full cup, a plate. The Submissive is meant to hold the items until the Dominant believes she's reached her limit. The exercise is one of trust and understanding. The demonstration is a short one, followed by Miriam removing the blindfold and soothing her Submissive. The words are whispered low and with care, clearly a method that is specific to this couple. The process is concluded with the pair handing out workups, videos, and answering questions. Anyone wishing to practice Purposeful Submission can do so in the open room with a random volunteer, aided by the couple, or can find someone to take to one of the rented rooms. Sex may follow any scene but is not necessarily included. Experimenting with unattached Dominants and Submissives allows for new relationships to form.

« « « MOD & OOC NOTES

Please read carefully.

On each Test Drive Meme, there will be a section noting character roles based on birthdays; these will vary each TDM. On an IC level, character will still have gone through the doors but assignments OOCly are still randomized. When applying, there is a section of the application that denotes whether the character chose "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 characters who have blue eyes or one blue eye and another color are Submissives. All characters who have brown eyes or one brown eye and another color are Dominants. Characters with any other color eyes are Dominants. To use this TDM as a door pass please link this on your app and place whether it is Dominant or Submissive.

Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!!

i. ) this is why breaking the rules is a good? thing; ( the down )

[ He's not a fan. Do this, do that, acclimate to your roles immediately -- it's stifling. Too stifling for a Kaoru who's nervously shuffling and waving away attention he would've so easily ( and happily ) welcomed before. The orientation was for prepping and informing, but it's not as if the status he's been given is anything out of the ordinary. It's responsibility and expectation that weighs him down and feels like home, and he hates how choking it feels. Just when you thought you were finally cool with the way your future was heading, fate drops you smack dab in the middle of unknown territory.

He finds himself wandering away from fake smiles and even faker niceties and into the Down, which honestly leaves him feeling even more crestfallen than before. Girl, you live like this...? No one should be down here. He catches a few teenagers milling about in the corner of an eye at a fancy gift basket he's been carrying that'd long been forgotten in thought, and waves to catch their attention.

He's passing out the goods willingly, favorably, and it's probably not the sort of thing a guy should be doing with the way things are right now, but... ]

[ Ah. Someone was watching. ]

Hahah... -- mmh, think you can keep a little secret for me? Otherwise I'm about to get in a whole lot of trouble, I guess... aaand, I really, kinda, don't want to be in that spot right now. It'd help me out if you did... ah, not that I'm going to bribe you or anything.

Despite being a 'dominant' and all... I'm not sure I'm really cut out for it.

[ He gives a tired, nervous smile. ]

ii. ) what on earth; ( table it for later )

[ Okay. Oookay. He's looking around to see if everyone is totally fine with this softcore demonstration. It's certainly lifting an eyebrow or two over here. Truth be told, he probably wouldn't have showed up if some cute girl hadn't asked him to, but now Kaoru doesn't see her within the crowd. Not that there aren't plenty of other cute, uncontracted flowers bouncing about, but... ]

[ Ugh, are his cheeks red? Or maybe it's a different sort of heat? One of arousal, that is. The occasional passerby asking if wants to participate in a demonstration is equally distracting. ]

Uh, am I the only one who thought this was going to be more... I don't know. Less sexually-charged? Or like an actual conference? ... ahah, though come to think of it... honestly, I should've seen it coming right from the start. And now I can't find the little Venus-chan who led me here....

iii. ) network;

[ un: cutback ]just so happened to pass the beach and it's, well, totally deserted in the middle of the day? please tell me it's not haunted

iv. wildcard

[ Hit me! Anything's fine, really. ]

[ Someone certainly was watching! It's not someone who hates what they see, but it also probably isn't someone expected; another tattooless Dominant, wandering around where they probably shouldn't be. She doesn't seem to frown upon the act though, giving a warm smile instead.

From the pocket of her winter coat, she pulls out a 100 yen coin. ]

Shall we flip for it? Numerals I tell on you, and blossoms I'll help you out. It sounds fun, right? Shall we gamble together?

[ It's too late, she's already flipping the coin, and placing it on the back of her hand, covered. ]

Reverse or obverse?

[ He appreciates the warm smile, really. It's the sort he's craving, anyway. A smile like a sun spot lighting a path through the darkness that made up the Down. But then there's a flash of shiny silver and even Kaoru knows that somethings a little off.

Flip for it, huh. No, it doesn't like much fun, but he's not about to say it. These kind of whimsical antics when it could potentially ruin him... -- wasn't that kind of twisted? ]

I'm not really the type to deny a lady's request, you know? ♪ Even if you've caught me at a pretty bad time. [ Let fate be on his side just this once, please. Kaoru licks his lips briefly, and then -- ] Backing down from a bet like this after I've done something pretty dangerous wouldn't let me show off my cool side either, so... -- let's make it 'reverse'.

[ Good, good! What fun is there in a gamble with no risk either way? There's no point, no interest, no thrill! Yumeko seems to get more excited with the agreement, a little redder in the face. ]

Excellent choice! Will I report you, or will I risk myself alongside you? Let's see what chance has decided!

[ She lifts her hand with a flourish, letting the coin catch the sun with a flash. It's- ]

Numerals. It looks like chance has smiled upon you!

[ She's- oh, she's sweating now- ]

How very cool of you.
