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. |
 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: edging/denial, orgasm control, potential voyeurism (nonconsensual and consensual), potential exhibitionism (nonconsensual and consensual), mirror sex) This month’s orientation is held again at the Orientation Center. For all LIERs, a classroom is set up with several tables, chairs, and a small pamphlet with a pen at each spot. Once sat down, it becomes obvious that this time around will first include a short lesson, then a practical period, just like a boring mandatory work seminar. Each pamphlet, labeled ‘Orgasm Control for Beginners’, holds several pages. One is blank for notes. Another page lists out some options for pairing up during the practice part of the lesson. Somehow, it only lists those of the opposite designation, as if LIES staff knew exactly where each person would sit. The final page holds a page with guided reflection questions. After an hour of LIES staff standing and explaining at the front of the room with an awkward presentation, everyone is told to pair up and find a room! Or, if they want to try solo first, they can grab a room to try some techniques on themselves. They WILL be required to try with a partner before heading home, regardless! Each room is furnished simply, with a bed, desk, desk chair, and any supplies one might need. Partners will need to spend at least 30 minutes in the room together, acting out things they have learned in the lecture. If they try to leave early or try to leave without doing anything sexual, LIES staff will gently lead them back to the room or offer to partner them with someone else who they might be more compatible with. Most of the rooms are the same. Some, though, host either a large mirror on one wall or a large window. For those who see a mirror, nothing is much different. Those who have a window, however, can see into the room next to them and witness any of the people within the other room. |
 (cw: public sex, sex pollen, mind alteration, truth telling) With season changes, there are always new and entertaining things to do in the city. This includes the newest event hosted near North Park, at a garden supply shop called “Grow-er ‘n Show-er.” Every LIER is sent a small invitation to the event in the mail, along with a note that mentions this is a mandatory experience for everyone, especially those who have no contract at this time! Said event will be running through April, so there’s plenty of time to participate! Upon arriving, LIERs are paired up with someone new if they don’t arrive with a partner. The activities are out in the open air behind the shop, aside from one! Paint-a-pot: Partners can paint a flower pot for free to take home. It is only free if you have a partner! The paint does not have any effects… at least, that it seems at first. Partners painting together feel more willing to talk and share their own creativity, in whatever way feels fitting for them, whether that be with paint on their pots or each other! Want to take home your planted seeds? You can! “Grow-er ‘n Show-er” will let anyone pot their little seedlings with their painted pots to take home. Keep Duplicity pretty! |
 (cw: drugs, human testing, noncon/dubcon themes, nonconsensual drugging, spiking drinks/food, brat-taming, brat behavior) A new drug is being promoted by the city. This drug is said to make any Submissive behave perfectly for their Dominant, while also becoming more willing to learn and adjust their behavior accordingly. It is meant to be used on unruly Submissives, ones who their Dominants are struggling to control. A sample is sent to each Dominant’s residence. The incentive? If they use it on someone else, that Dominant will not only not have to make quota during the month it’s used. If they don’t... they will have to make triple quota for that month. These terms are listed within the letter each Dominant receives. Whether it’s the Dominant who finds it, or one of their Submissives, that’s up to fate. What matters is if they believe the city can enforce such a thing or not, and how they decide to go about using it. Once used, whether stirred into a drink, mixed into food, or taken outright as a pill, causes… an effect that isn’t listed. Instead of being subservient and easy to train, each person who consumes this drug will feel more bratty and have the urge to act out, to not follow a single direction and argue far more than they usually do. It will be up to the person who provided the drug to tame them! Good luck taming an even FURTHER unruly partner…! |

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: If your character values luck over skill, they are a Submissive. If your character values skill over luck, they are a Dominant. 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. For this TDM only: top level comments are for everyone! Existing (in-game already), new, or returning characters. We are testing out opening up the TDM to more people. You must use the same designation for your character as they have in-game. Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!! |
