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: sex toys, semi-public sex, potential noncon/dubcon, masturbation) This Orientation is sponsored by Naughty Knights! Signage is up around the orientation center upon walking in, touting several different programs the sex toy company is offering. The main one is what each person attending this month's mandatory orientation will be helping with: testing new products and potentially suggesting their own! An array of sex toys are laid out on tables, much like products at a flea market. Organized by type, LIERs are encouraged to look through each table and find something to their liking. Don't be shy, grab a toy or two and a partner to try them out with! Just beware: many of these toys come with an extra perk. When touched, held, stroked, licked, sucked, fucked, or fingered, they cause someone else to feel exacty what is done to them. Be careful when grabbing those toys! You might be accidentally pleasuring a stranger. At least it's easy to see who doubles over when you touch it the wrong way, so you can see whether or not you want to keep going and take them all the way.

» » » EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

---

(cw: office kink, power dynamics/play, secretary kink, employee/boss, compulsions) Another offering from Naughty Knights comes at a price… or, well, a "bonus" offered to anyone who participates! Didn't sign up? Too bad, you're needed at the corporate office to help out for a few days or maybe even a few weeks! New arrivals and existing members or graduates of the LIEs program are brought on for this assignment whether they want to or not. Your existing jobs will survive a few days without you! Upon entering the assigned office floor, temporary employees will be checked out for dress code by a staff member at the door. Everyone MUST wear professional outfits, whether that be slacks and a button up shirt or a pencil skirt and blouse. Gender stereotypes be damned, as long as they're wearing something business-like, they'll be let in. Don't own any clothes that fit this style? Don't worry! Naughty Knights has something for everyone, in a small closet. Hopefully those temporary clothes they borrow aren't TOO tight… Dominants are more likely placed in a manager or higher up position within the office floor, meant to control and boss around their employees. This doesn't mean a lucky Submissive won't get the chance to boss around others, too, but it's far less likely. Submissives seem to be given less cushy jobs. Simple sales positions, number crunchers in finance, secretaries to the boss… all in all, Submissives constantly are being asked to report to their bosses. Something about the space makes it hard not to be attracted to those in positions of power above them. Employees are encouraged to worship their bosses, to please them however they can. Managers or bosses are encouraged, then, to take advantage of their position of power, to demand anything of those below them. In a way, this job isn't really a job at all, but a place for debauchery, with how easily pairs will be drawn to each other. Oh. That "bonus." Right. That is only revealed after they work for at least a few days, being hyped up all the while. A gift card, specifically to one of Naughty Knights' sex shop partners in one of the shopping districts of the Up. You're welcome!

« « « DEAR DIARY…

---

(cw: surveillance, compulsions, variety kinks) The city is always watching. This much is true. So, then, how easy is it to trust the city when they talk about a new, up and coming app for each person's device? Unfortunately, no one is allowed to remove this app, even if they were concerned about safety at all. The app is called My Sex Life and it does more than just a few things. One, it allows people to see the statistics that their device has collected regarding who they've interacted with and slept with over the last thirty days. This way, each citizen can check their quota count for the month with just a few clicks of a button! Two, it offers a diary function that people are required to use at least 5 times a month. There are suggested prompts each day that come through as notifications to their device, pestering them with the option to note down any and everything that comes to mind. Suggestions range from sexy, kinky questions to ones that ask about their opinions of the city, getting into such intense details that it almost seems like someone is fishing for details for a specific reason. Any sexy or kinky questions tend to make the person who reads them want to act on them. This can range from kinks they might not normally try such as asphyxiation or bondage, or kinks that never came to mind such as golden showers or petplay. Maybe, even, it's something as simple as asking whether or not they enjoy dressing up in pretty lingerie!

---

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. 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 and this rule may change in the future. You must use the same designation for your character as they have in-game. Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!!

Want to meet a cute catgirl?

She's very friendly and playful, absolutely not bothered by having to play sexy things, and prompts can go non-sexy or very sexy, I don't mind! Everything is fine, just nothing with animal abuse-ish themes or bathroom/filth play or heavy piercing detail please!

Looking For:

Just hawt sex, not picky. Desk sex, against the file cabinet. :D

Submissive just for the TDM

[whalewatcher]

This guy looks young, but he's really in his mid 20s.

He was also born in the 80s and it's 2009 for him. Gotta love a messed up Millennial.

Sigma is a grown up child soldier who has learned the bulk of his knowledge about the world in general from classic Hollywood films. If you don't see a prompt you like, feel free to hit the Wildcard.

I'm open to most things. Absolute No's are abuse/degradation and bathroom play.

His only wishes in life are steady meals and a safe place to sleep. All of the soft stuff is highly encouraged.

I have a headcanon that his boss is part of the reason his outfit as a Drama Goth vibe. She's very Goth Lolita herself, so if your character is inclined I highly encourage picking out ridiculous outfits for him to wear.

Blaidd the Half-Wolf | Elden Ring | Submissive

[balefulshadow]

a)« « « QUALITY ASSURANCE

[Blaidd had never seen such an array of toys and the like, having just arrived here, especially since everything was new to him. The buildings were huge, the place was bustling, and to see people walking around on their hands and knees and naked out in the open was jarring, to say the least.

So was the collar, fitted around his neck- he was not a dog, but he sure did feel like one with the new accessory.

Blaidd turned his attention to the sex toys, and he tilted his head as he surveyed them. Without another thought, he reached out to a, ah, large vibrating dildo? And he picked it up, turned it on, and was shocked by the sensation in his hand.]

Blood hell! This is meant to be stimulating?

[He turned it off and set it back down, before he grabbed another sex toy, a fleshlight, and he inserted his finger into it...]

Who in the blazes would use these? [totally fingering the fleshlight just because, and whoever was around him would either feel sensation from him touching the dildo or the fleshlight.]

b)» » » EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

[Blaidd had been put in a rather tight suit, completely fitted to his massive form, and he had been told to report to his boss, whatever Dominant he needed to report to.]

Uh, here mate- I mean, boss... here are the um, papers? You were needing.

[He put the papers on a desk of someone- reporting to them, and after he had entertained whatever Dominant was there, he returned to his cubicle. Blaidd was massive, at 8 feet fall, and he towered over the cubicles as he returned to his fellow Submissives.]

Pardon the intrusion but, what the hell does it mean to crunch numbers? What sort of numbers need to be crushed?

c)» WILDCARD

[Maybe you see Blaidd getting off the train in the Down, maybe you see him wandering around in orientation, go nuts! He is very tall, very kind, very suave, and is looking for affection! Tell him he's the good boy that he is!]

well, that sure is some quality

[goldencharms]

[ you know, he'd mostly been there because, well, he was required to be. And maybe he was trying to see if there were any toys that reminded him of Rook's collection-- but he was mostly more interested in the colors and shapes and sizes than the toys for the sake of themselves.

at least until that absolutely strange, foreign, and all too familiar feeling strikes him out of nowhere? Except he's still fully clothed. ]

Ah--huh!?

[ he's trying to look over his shoulder for the source of this assault-- ]

a

[beauman]

[This has got to be one of the better Orientation set ups they've had recently. Or at least one of the most fun ones, hmmm? He can't wait to find something that looks interesting enough to give a very thorough review. Except.....

Except the moment he picks a toy up, he drops it again with a strangled noise of surprise. He's not exactly alone in a crowd like this, but he's still quite sure there's nobody directly behind him. So why does it feel like someone is preparing him with their fingers? He's not even undressed!

Just. Give him a minute to scan the crowd. Maybe someone is casting some sort of spell.....]

employee satisfaction

[lightlessflame]

[Agnes cuts a very nice figure in her office suit, tall and slim as she is, though it's hard to say she's really a model employee beyond being a sight for sore eyes. She's been standing at the photo copier for probably the better part of an hour at this point, and it sure doesn't seem like any papers are coming and going. The intimidatingly blank stare that she gives anyone who comes close has been scaring most other workers off from saying anything about it, but at the question from the rather large creature who's approached her...she looks more curious than anything.]

I have no idea. I've never set foot in an office building, before.

quality assurance

[aididitmyway]

[Ruby had just been minding her business, hanging out and trying to enjoy her day despite the forced orientation that everyone has to deal with in Duplicity...

Only for her head to shoot up when she feels fingers in her. She has no idea where it's coming from and she's ready to go smack someone if they're by her, but.

No one??

She's going to be looking around wildly, trying to figure out what the hell this all is.]

b

[selfie]

[back at the cubicles - yuuna is dressed up as a secretary for some dominant or another, but by now she's clued in that this isn't really a job, it's more like roleplay. so she's just enjoying the cute outfit she's been dressed up in, sitting at one of the desks, and...

painting her nails. specifically, she's waiting for the base coat she's just applied to dry.]

Oh, it's like, math or something.

[she nods at two bottles.]

Hey, which color should I use?

[also, can she paint his claws under all that fur? she kind of wants to... she's going to get fired at this rate.]

A

[pacifistleader]

[Honestly, the only reason Relena attended the monthly orientations was the 'mandatory' part of it all. Though, this month she's a little curious about some of the various selections of sex toys on display. Compared to previous months, this almost looked tame.

She was even about to reach for a dildo when she felt something strange. She gasps softly as her cheeks flush as it feels like there is something thick and large thrusting in and out of her pussy. Relena presses her thighs together, trying to be subtle about her budding arousal as she looks around. Her eye catches a large...wolf-man(?) fingering a fleshlight.

With a shuddered breath, she makes her way over to him and takes a seat near him with her legs pressed together for some sort of relief as he keeps fingering the toy.

Relena's also wearing a collar though hers is pink with a bow on the side of her neck. The rest of her is clad in a simple pale pink sundress with black shoes and white thigh high stockings. Maybe he will notice the petite blonde woman near him having...arousal issues?]

Dire Crowley | Twisted Wonderland

[headmage]

01. QUALITY ASSURANCE
[it's not possible to see them behind his mask, but crowley's eyebrows - if he even has any - raise so high that they could probably meet his hairline once he enters the orientation center and sees ... well, everything. the signage for the various programs and the array of toys laid out is quite something.

it might make a person blush. not him, though. he is not all that inclined to blush.

instead, he strides through the displays, pausing at one table or another to peruse the offerings with a critical eye. in fact, he even stops at one, picking up some toy or another and feeling the heft of it in the palm of his hand. he runs one of his pointy rings along it, canting his head to one side as he does -

but oh, what's that? is it one of the toys with perks? he looks up and over in the direction of whatever sound or motion the attention to the toy may have elicited out of someone else.]

My goodness, are you alright?

[perhaps he can help you out! ...he is ever so kind, after all.]

02. EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
[this man is a submissive. alas, unfortunately for whoever may have ended up paired up with him at the office today, despite that he was put into the role of a manager. this doesn't bother him a whit; he's quite used to having his own office and ordering people about. does he know the first thing about working a corporate job for a sex toy company?

absolutely the fuck not, but he's after the bonus. he'll make it work.

so. here he is in an office, clad in an immaculate suit (and his mask and tophat), seated at a mahogany desk. he's looking through some paperwork that he has absolutely no context for, but upon hearing a knock at his door - an approaching secretary or underling of some kind, he's sure - he snaps his fingers and a swirl of magic eases the door open.]

Yes, yes, do come in. Do you have some kind of a report for me?

03. DEAR DIARY...
[ding!

it's a notification from the app...

crowley has been ignoring the notifications since his arrival, but they just keep coming. and he can't find a way to remove the app from his device, either! how vexing. with a sigh, he attempts to silence the notification.

ding!

there's another. well, he certainly doesn't want to put information about himself in here - who knows what they would do with it? - so he turns to the nearest person, and without preamble, reads off from the screen:]

Where’s a place you’ve always fantasized about having sex?

04. WILDCARD
[want to do something else? toss it here!]

I'm so sorry in advance

[beauman]

[How exciting! There's just so many toys to choose from, how are they ever meant to pick just one? They don't have to pick just one, do they? After all, it would hardly be a proper test if they couldn't compare what's on offer against each other, as well as by its own merits. Let's see, maybe he'll start with--

Rook freezes mid-reach with an abrupt gasp. What was that? It almost felt as though a claw was stroking right down.....

No, wait, scratch that. No sooner does he look around to find the source of the sensation, than he promptly drops the mystery altogether in favor of pure bewilderment. Could it really be? That top hat, that cape--]

Headmage.....? Headmage!

[Crowley has about 10 seconds to brace for impact the student launching himself at him in greeting.]

Fearless/"Liang" | Cowboy Bebop + CRAU | Submissive

[prodigalgun]

[ ooc: Fearless IS Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop's Netflix Live Action iteration, but his time canonpoint is from the prequel novel, Red Planet Requiem. He also has CRAU from HeckinGame for this toplevel, and as a result he is dead as a doornail and has the ability to revert to a demon form that looks like a humanoid Long/eastern dragon. (other demons would probably be able to tell that he's a very low-ranking demon!) He's mostly available appearing human for these prompts, but you can definitely request him in his demon form instead!

Fearless's age is unknown even to himself, but he's around 25, and I have no problem with under age or xeno CR. He is well versed with and exposed to BDSM, and takes that part of the culture seriously. ]

All Aboard

[ the thing about all this is, Fearless is actually quite used to being broke and going without. in no time, he's gotten himself back dressed and ready, and this is actually his second go-round on the train. The clothes he's come with give him a 70s Dandy vibe, and he takes up space on the train like he's been here his whole life.

If he sees you and you happen to look at all either a. disctinct, visually or b. like you know what you're doing, Fearless will stride right up to you, hand on the train rail, and ask, ]

Hey, uh, you happen to know where the best place to get a bite to eat around here is?

[ he asks it with this little puppydog crooked-teeth smile, brows tilted, like he's just such an innocent and sweet boy-next-door. ]

Quality Assurance

You know, uh... I kinda thought this was gonna be... I dunno.

[ staring at the table of toys with one hand in his pocket, Fearless makes a gesture with his other hand that ultimately translates to absolutely fucking nothing. he isn't even really talking to anyone in particular as much as he's speaking aloud and letting whoever notices him choose whether or not to respond. ]

Cornier? I thought it'd be cornier.

[ but, as he scans over the toys and picks one up to turn about in his hands, he minds; ]

These are just legit, though, huh?

Employee Satisfaction

[ Fearless might actually be a bad pick for an office worker considering his previous profession as a "janitor", but he sure does cut a fine silhouette in that snug vest and button up they've put him in. they even managed to find him office-suitable trousers with the slightest flare of a retro look. and when he stands at attention, boy, does he look professional.

thing is, he loves getting paid. and while secretary wasn't in his job description, he's used to running around accounting for another. so upon being given the option to avoid wordy paper pushing, he's managed to cement his part in attending to others needs— whether they be looking for real secretarial help, or a bit of servicing instead.

for now, he notices your character walking along and a paper they're carrying slip free, and in a smooth motion, one hand still behind his back, he dips down to pick it up and hand it over. with a wink and a smile, he offers— ]

Sorry about that. Looks like it fell free. Oh, uh—

[ he points at a specific number— ]

Tell whoever you're giving to they should check that calculation again, mmkay?

[ and with far too much familiarity, he gives them a pat on the shoulder. ]

WILDCARD

I'm open to a lot of things! These aren't set up super sexy because I like to have a bit of work up before jumping into the smut, but feel free to go sexier if you're confident. take your chances or hit me up at love_letters on plurk or love.struck on disco. Fearless's info page doesn't have a lot of his kinks, but he should have the same preferences as Leona's, available on his journal at effortaverse.

all aboard

[caycay]

Hm?

[Standing at one of the rails with his legs crossed in a casual stance, Cater was busy being glued to his phone. At this point, he's so familiar with all the stops he hardly needs to pay attention to his surroundings. Well, unless a dominant is trying to get him to kneel, or whatever. Maybe Fearless approaches, in this case, for more than just the fact that Cater seems so confident.

He looks up from his phone screen and one look at that smile tells him all he needs to know: he is changing his plans.]

Do I ever. You've picked the right foodie, fam!

Sigma | Fate/ Strange Fake | submissive

[whalewatcher]

All Aboard

[Trains were a novelty.

So was everything else- compared to the daily bloodshed of constant battles that Sigma had lived in before. Every day was a new job, and even the basic necessities like regular hot meals and a safe place to sleep were luxuries. This lack of desire was why Prelati had chosen him for her whims and her games.

Sigma didn't care either way. He approached this new situation the way he had approached all others: with a quiet, watchful acceptance. He wasn't going to fight if he didn't need to.

The only details that marked him in any way were his diminutive statue, his stalwart manner, and the black choker he had been given when he arrived.

Sigma didn't fight when he was ushered off the train- but he did take one last glance behind him as he disembarked.

The ride had been smooth, and the tour pleasant. He had hoped for a warm meal at the station.]

Dear Diary

Excuse me.

[He said quietly to someone who looked like they knew what they were doing, and held out his device for them to see. It was some sort of smartphone, from what he could tell- but it was 2009 in his memories, and phones weren't this smart in his experience.]

That app. [He said, tapping the space next to the icon for the app called My Sex Life.]

I don't need it, but it isn't deleting the way it's supposed to.

Do phones get computer viruses?

[He was a spell caster, not a tech master. He respected it, but he didn't know the nuances of how it worked.

Not helping was his baby face- and eyes that looked like they had seen the depths of hell.]

Wildcard

[ooc: hmu on Plurk at woodrift if you want to chatter.]

[accelerationist]

[ For Kiritsugu, the train had become a part of his routine. Waking up early each morning in his commute to the down to check in on the shop. He mostly kept to himself in these instances, but new arrivals meant seating was crowded. Forced to scan for an opening, before his attention is captured by a young man donned in black. ]

I hope you don't mind company.

[ He'd hate to intrude, but it was the only open spot at present. He promptly seats himself, pleather bracelet visibly showing above the command seals on his hand. ]

Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch - The Pitt - Submissive

[keepsongiving]

1. All Aboard
[Robby is as awkward as any submissive on the train for the first time, the expression on his face a bit of a scowl, ears and cheeks tinted a perpetual pink as he watches everything around himself. What finally changes his demeanor is a native city Dom placing a hand on the back of his neck, testing his reaction with a smirk. Robby immediately moves to slap the hand away.]

Hey!

[Someone should probably step in before Robby learns the way the city works firsthand, in the form of a punishment.]


2. Employee Satisfaction
[Dressed in a white dress shirt that's sheerer than it ought to be, paired with a red necktie, Robby's trying to concentrate on the ledger of numbers in front of himself, chewing idly on the cap of his pen as he looks for some sort of error in the math. But the office is starting to feel warmer than he'd like, and his eyes flicker repeatedly to the boss assigned to oversee him.]

You...you really don't need to watch me so closely. I'll do the work, really, even if you're not...um, staring.


3. Wildcard
[Throw anything at me, I'm incredibly easy.]

1

[thevelmster]

[Thankfully, someone all of five foot nothing intervenes, managing to catch Robby's hand as gently as possible before it can earn an infraction. She knows that her designation alone has a decent chance of diffusing the situation with the native, who she's glaring up at despite the flush growing under her freckled features.

Quick Velma, say something menacing to intimidate the native.]

Shoo! [She snaps before using her free hand to complete Robby's swatting efforts.] I call dibs on this one.

[She'll apologize to the other LIER later, but for now, she gently squeezes his wrist instead.]

Megumi (Warrior of Light) | Final Fantasy XIV | Submissive

[menphina]

[ ooc: There may be spoilers for patch 7.5- Trail to the Heavens, but I'm not going to be bringing them up outright unless Megumi is asked about specific things!

Also feel free to check out her Echo ability if you'd like to play with that, and fill out her scent collection post, or bring up scents in replies if you want! :D ]


« Arrival/All Aboard »

☆ - [ After Orientation, Megumi is left standing with a faintly bemused, somewhat resigned expression. Well now, after all they'd just endured back home and even returned to the Rising Stones, she was expecting to take a bit of a breather.

Naturally, things weren't going to go her way, as always. It's become something of a theme now, hasn't it? But, she does touch the dark pleather collar around her neck, a slight frown entering her gaze- and looks around for other familiar faces. From all she's learnt so far, she hopes no one she knows is here... though she might stop behind or next to seemingly people who are strangers with a sigh. Surprise her. ]

Lovely place, isn't it? Doing alright there?

[ With dry sarcasm!!! But also concern. ]

[ She looks very much like a typical catgirl, really- long black hair, cute fluffy ears, a long fluffy tail, large blue eyes and short stature- she doesn't even look dangerous or strong, really. Please do believe she's a pretty young woman. Anyone who can sense magic or power, though, is free to- she's emanating something of her strength but otherwise feels like any normie. ]

☆ - [ Sitting on the train, Megumi seems fascinated by the scenes flashing past outside the window, her eyes bright with curiosity even though her posture suggests a subtle tension. She beams with a slight wiggle of her ears when someone she doesn't know joins her, clearly willing to share observations or make conversation. ]

They've already put us into roles... really, you'd think they'd offer a nice dinner and date, first.

[ A playful, self-deprecating smile forms on her lips, and she pats the seat next to her. If she does recognize someone, she'll go wide-eyed and exclaim in surprise! ]

Woah!!

« Quality Assurance »

[ Brows furrowed in mild surprise, she considers the array of toys presented, hesitating only a moment before she laughs and shakes her head. No way- they're offering toys like these out so freely? This place is bolder than she thought.

She cautiously lifts one of the smaller items, immediately moving to poke and squeeze the items curiously, because she must- but her eyes widen with a flick of her ears as she quickly notices someone nearby flinch or blush when she does it. ]

You alright there, love?

[ Her tone remains friendly, immediately giving her toy a squeeze despite the awkwardness of the situation and if someone reacts, she'll blink a few times. ]

... felt that one, did you?


[ And she'll squish or poke again for good measure, what, she's a healer, she must test these things out!! ]

Sorry, sorry! This is some magic... you alright?!

« Employee Satisfaction »

[ Adjusting the fitted blouse and pencil skirt with pumps and stockings she'd selected and tying her hair in a loose tail, she gives herself a look- it's certainly not something she typically wears and she sighs softly, resigned amusement in her eyes. She's clearly more bemused than genuinely upset, but really, free glamor and clothes is a plus.

Fairly, she's been in weirder situations. At least it's not pole-dancing at The Beehive this time, but with what she's learning, she wouldn't put it past this place. ]

I can't tell if this is punishment or reward, but this feels milder than most things I've been told to do. So, what are we doing here?

« Dear Diary »

[ She eyes her device skeptically, tapping at it lightly as though unsure whether to be amused or mildly disturbed- thankfully she's familiar enough with her tomestone now than she was some time before to at least scroll through.

Still, she eventually chuckles softly and shrugs her shoulders... ]

Ah, technology... staying ever intrusive and convenient, aye?

[ She glances up, noticing someone approaching, and offers a warmly welcoming smile, motioning them over with a faintly conspiratorial expression. ]

Are these prompts as persuasive for you as they seem intent on being for me? What did you get on them?

[ How can you say no to this adorable face and cute wiggling ears? ]

[ Feel free to make something up!! Take a walk in the down, run into her and fall over, start a spar and fight, have fun!! I can be reached on my ooc contact post, DM here or schoenheit for any discussions! ♥ ]

Quality blah blah

[balefulshadow]

[She picked up a dildo shaped toy and squeezed it and he did indeed flinch from that! He felt it down in his groin as though she had been the one to do so! Blaidd turned around to her, and when she did it again, he gasped, his face turning red, and he raised a gloved hand up to cover his mouth!]

Sorry lass! I don’t know what’s come over me! It truly must be magic, if I can feel that all the way over here…

[He walked over to a table near her and picked up a fleshlight, only to gently push his finger into the hole.]

Do you feel this? [He also had to test! He was curious!]

Santana | OC (current character - Dominant) - OTA, but M/M only for smut

[matawhore]

Quality Assurance

1. Playing with Toys
Like the last orientation, Santana was left with a rather dismal outlook at the rest of the people around. All these fundamentals for so little reward. He supposed everyone had to start somewhere, after all, but it just felt like it was beating a dead horse for the most part.

Still, he wished there was some way to get out of these sorts of things. There wasn't, but he could wish.

As things began to break up into pairs, Santana went up to inspect the toys they were supposed to be 'testing'. He picked up and put down a few, trying to find one that seemed good.

"This seems unsanitary," he muttered to no one in particular.

2. Subjected to Perks
Santana couldn't quite place when he'd started to feel a little electric. It was slightly different than the feeling of just standard arousal, in part because there was no clear source of it. It was a feeling of touch, of desire, of being filled -- but that was ridiculous, since he wasn't at the moment.

He looked around, face flush, trying to figure out if this was from something like those flowers or even the insidious pulse of the nightclub. Maybe it was hopeless to look for the source of what was making his body feel alive and desperate. But that wasn't going to stop him from looking.

Employee Satisfaction
Santana wasn't necessarily good at being told what to do. So it was probably good, in that way, that the only telling they'd had to do was the telling of making him come in in the first place.

He had no idea what he was doing. And if he was honest, administrative work was boring. So if he had a tendency to wander around, poke about, and see what he could get up to, all in the name of 'supervising' or 'managing' or whatever, that probably wasn't too much of a problem, was it?

And if he had a tendency to linger and watch some of the other men that were supposed to be working too? That probably wasn't too much of a problem, either.

Employee Satisfaction

[keepsongiving]

Robby could almost feel Santana's eyes on the back of his neck, the same way you can feel the glare of the sun when it's just starting to burn your skin. His shoulders started to lift defensively, a slow-motion defensive cringe, as he buried his head in the numbers he was crunching, before he looked up with a nervous expression.

"Do you mind?"

Cremisius "Krem" Aclassi | Dragon Age | submissive (returning)

[krempuff]

All Aboard
There was a sort of jarring familiarity about the whole thing, like remembering something out of a dream. Maybe it was that feeling of repetition in everything said to him in the processing, or maybe it was something to do with the atmosphere of the whole place. Maybe it was nothing at all, except that as he loaded onto the train it just felt like something he'd done very often, and recently, a muscle memory that settled uneasily in his chest.

Krem sat away from anyone else on the train, quiet and watching the world outside go past. Maybe if he puzzled it all out, it wouldn't feel quite so strange why he couldn't remember why things felt so familiar.

Employee Satisfaction
The only good thing about being from Tevinter was an intrinsic knowledge of how hierarchies worked. For better or worse, even a decade after he'd last stepped foot in his homeland, the ability to adapt to a structure full of arbitrary rules and authority figures given power simply by dint of birth or circumstance was ingrained into Krem so thoroughly that he could pretend like he wasn't bothered.

He was, of course. Incessantly. It did not help that when he'd been brought in "to work", they had decided that his outfit wasn't nearly formal enough for a business setting -- and he'd been gangpressed into what they deemed appropriate for him to be wearing.

So, here he sat, staring at numbers he did not care about in an office he did not want to be in, wearing this uncomfortable outfit that he was too aware of himself in. His face was wretchedly hot. If he kept his head down and didn't cause too much of a fuss, he could just not come back the next day. What were they going to do, drag him in again?

Wildcard
[ Krem was just recently swept from the game, however, on returning he's a little shaky on memories of his previous year in Duplicity. The more people he knew before that run into him, the faster he'll remember. In any case, feel free to find him poking around the Up and the Down!

Inara Serra | Firefly | Returnee but temp Submissive.

[companioning]

« « « QUALITY ASSURANCE

[Naughty Knights. Clever. Inara smiles slightly as she slowly walks around eyeing the various toys displayed.

Sighing softly, she reaches up, fingers brushing against the pleather. She's not very happy with the position she finds herself in. A submissive. She almost snorted in disgust, but... She just shakes her head instead, gaze dropping to th6e toy in front of her.

Head tilting a little to the side, her reaches out, fingers gliding across the ribs of the purple glass dildo. Her eyebrows lift as she's urged to pick it up. She shrugs and does just that, turning it slowly in her hands, her fingers slowly exploring it. ]

» » » EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

[Corporate office are not really= a place Inara would ever actually work at, but it wasn't as though she had a lot of choice in the matter. She was finding she didn't have a lot of choices at all in Duplicity.

She understands what's required and with a deep breath, she raises her chin a little and straightening the short pencil skirt that just barely covered the lace of her thigh highs. The blouse she wears has a deep v where the lace from her black bra peaks out. Her dark hair is twisted up in a messy bun and she just steps inside the bosses office smiling brightly as she added a bit more hip sway to her walk.]

Excuse me, I'm so sorry to interrupt, but I finished compiling that huge, long stack of clients. It was very hard and uncomfortable but I assure that I managed to get a complete grip on it.

((OOC: Inara was there once before but she won't be remembering any of it. She was also a Dominant before, but she's a Submissive for funs here.))

Edwina Sharma | Bridgerton (Returning?) Submissive

[hashtagwifegoals]

« Quality Assurance

It's a little surprising (and a little upsetting) to find herself in this place once again. She'd somehow managed to remain largely ignorant of the seemingly endless array of sex toys the city had to offer when she was here before. Now, though, it feels like that's no longer going to be an option.

"Interesting..."

It's uttered mostly under her breath, as she stands in front of a table of vibrators of varying shapes, sizes and intensities. Nearby, a similar table of dildos is laid out- and she's made the decision to avoid that one entirely for the time being.

A helpful staff member had accosted her almost as soon as she'd come over this way, and she'd assured them that she could manage on her own- and thanked them kindly for their assistance. Mostly, she's just grateful to be left to her own devices again. Being here brings up a host of overwhelming emotions, and the last thing she needs is someone hovering.

For a moment, she considers asking the opinion of someone in her own situation. But a quick glance around changes her mind. After some intense scrutiny, she selects a modestly-sized bullet style vibrator. She takes a moment to hold it, feeling the weight in her hand, before turning it over to press the button once, twice, thrice, four times... watching curiously as the vibration ramps up in intensity each time.

» Employee Satisfaction

All things considered, the black pencil skirt and crisp white button down she'd been asked to change into aren't terrible. They're a bit more form-fitting than she's accustomed to, but Edwina has certainly been forced to tolerate less comfortable attire in the spirit of beauty. The heels might take some getting used to, but she is nothing if not adaptable.

Wardrobe corrected, Edwina is unceremoniously turned loose with no real idea of what she's meant to be doing or what to expect. While the situation is a bit different than anything she's encountered before, the spirit behind it feels familiar.

And so, she stands a little taller, squaring her shoulders and lifting her chin as she makes a beeline for the boss's office. There's a moment of deliberation before she works up the courage to peek her head inside the door with a smile.

"Good afternoon," she begins. "I was told to report here. Is there anything you'd like me to do?"

« Choose Your Own

Edwina has been in and out of game twice- and she was a submissive both times. And now she's back for a potential third time. I'm willing to roll with brackets or prose. Outside of the above prompts, feel free to catch her wandering the city. You can also snag me @ cornyflake on plurk or discord to work out a custom starter.

METTATON • UT • DOMINANT (returning)

[glitzandglamour]

✦ QUALITY ASSURANCE

[This isn't Mettaton's first time in Duplicity. He knows how this goes. Though the reason he left and returned again eludes him entirely, he's not wearing a black collar, but rather, a bracelet. He's a Dominant.

And Mettaton knows Duplicity's rules, a dangerous, insufferable thing. When Mettaton pics up a jelly-pink dildo, he does it with an exacting, appraising eye, stroking it from base to tip with a gloved finger. Its translucent silicone is studded with glitter. Gaudy.

He turns to whoever has the misfortune to be standing next to him. His voice is silky and low, pleasantly modulated and honeyed.]

Ohhh my. Take a LOOK, darling. Have you ever seen a package more suited for a glamorous star??

[When he holds it against himself, he doesn't merely posture. Mettaton effortlessly lifts one of his legs and, with a bit of a tease, presses the dildo dangerously close to his inner thigh- emphasizing how it might look on him as though it were his own?? With his other hand he emphasizes the length of his bounty by stroking along the black silicone of his thigh, until he can tap at the very tip. Whether this can be felt by your character or not, Mettaton is thoroughly unaware of the potential side-effects.]

A bit big... But I like that. Everything about me is meant to positively GAG. What do you think?

✦ EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

[By pager, by intercom, by telephone, any nearby underling has been summoned into the double-doored room of the "COA", a gold placard there to signify the importance of the role. A heavy wooden desk, orderly and imposing, sits before a window pane; it's picturesque, just how Mettaton likes it.

He himself sits, though the back of his head is all that's visible to start. Upon hearing the door open at all, the lofty MTT clicks his tongue. Mettaton is invested in the roleplay.]

Oh. It's you. A moment later, and I'd have you terminated. [Mettaton turns; he keeps his chin high, regarding his company with a haughty, heated arrogance. Mettaton's suit is a fitted thing, a bold red color contrasted against a yellow tie. (How fortuitous! A MTT classic.) It's quickly that he looks towards his 'nails' with a blatant disregard for his 'employee'.] Not that you're off the hook so soon. Oh, no. This little meeting of ours cuts into my other, various engagements. Such as, calculating my net worth, or striking big deals on the golf course. Now. Can you tell me why I've called you in here?

✦ DEAR DIARY…

Ha. Diary-keeping is so passé, isn't it?

[Mettaton sits at a long table in Les Beans, not far from the train station in the Up. He scrolls through his device with practiced ease, the kind of person who definitely has this kind of tech back home, while he flashes the screen of his device to anyone who sits nearby with a patient smile. A single-shouldered shrug later, and he's tapping through it some more.]

Tell me something, darling. I haven't been here in... a while. This is new. Do you really have to make five entries a month? It's not as if we don't have better things to be doing. Like, you know. [He rolls his eye with a snort.] Fulfilling quota. Is there some purpose to this compulsory private introspection?

[He crosses his long legs, canting his head and planting his device screen-down on the tabletop.]

✦ MISC

[permissions. will do any other prompt or work with anything you have to throw my way. I'm playing MTT with his previous memories from the last time I was in Dupe!]
