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. |
 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. |
 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. |
 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. |
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. For characters with a birthday falling in the months of January to June, their designation will be Dominant. For characters with a birthday falling in the months of July to December, their designation will be Submissive. For characters with an unknown birthday, their designation will be Dominant. Arrival into Duplicity has not been used as a prompt as it is a rather large part of introducing the game and will be saved for the first in-game log. But feel free to thread it on the TDM. Also, any locations throughout Duplicity are available for TDM prompts as well! Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!! |

here, she knows what she's doing, guiding his hands just so, setting the pace herself so she can push them both in the right direction. but it doesn't matter how much control she has over the situation, just being with him makes her head spin, dizzy from the mounting tension, keen for any sort of release.
ivy almost doesn't hear his question, her eyes dropping to his mouth and wanting to claim it all over again. obediently, she eventually tilts her head back and looks up at him. her fingers absently trace up the curve of his neck to mirror that same line she drew on herself, catching the collar of his shirt and moving steadily downward until her fingertips hit the band of his jeans. ]
Make me yours.
[ class rules be damned tonight. she can hold her own, but right now she doesn't want to think about claiming anyone for herself and autonomy seems to be the perfect place for a little flexibility. ]

make me yours, she says, and something in him snaps; not to the point that she would be able to tell, but there's a sharpness in the way he pulls her closer still, possessive in a way that he would never consciously lay claim to, takes her mouth again in another kiss that is all but devouring as he holds her close to him. leaves no space between their bodies even though he's well aware that he needs to get them both away from this crowd if this is going to progress like they both want it to, and he makes some contemplative sound in the back of his throat as he pushes away from the wall.
keeps her close, and even with all the bodies crowding here and there and there he somehow manages to find a more private space, pulling them both into it and ultimately pressing her back against the closed door as he takes her mouth again, kisses her soundly as one hand reaches up to pull her hair out of its ponytail.
fingers thread through dark strands, coaxing her to tip her head back to give him access to the column of her throat, kisses dropped against her pulse-point and he lingers there, just for a second, sucking at the subtle rhythm it makes beneath the surface of her skin. )

ivy melts into him, distracted from the crowd around them, pliant in a way she isn't for most people, especially someone she has just met – but then again, venturing into the unknown is dangerously exciting. when she pulls away briefly to follow him into the next free room they can find, the edges of her vision blur just enough so that she can only see his form.
with a wry grin, she backs into the door to shut and lock it, playful as always as she waits for him to corner her this time. her hands find the beltloops of his jeans to tug his hips closer to hers, though the way he pulls her hair out of its tie takes her by surprise. she willingly lifts her chin again so that he can feel the rapid beating of her pulse beneath his lips. a soft moan follows as her hands crawl up beneath his shirt.
i'm all yours. ]

good thing no one's saying anything. that would be giving too much away straight out of the gate.
she gives him the semblance of a lead and he takes it, even as he finds himself following the pull against his beltloops until their hips are flush together; he pulls her hair free of its tie because he wants to see her unhinged, or at least disheveled enough to give rise to the notion because it might just be too early for either of them to give too much over, but. he still drinks it in. commits it to memory because there's no telling if they'll be able to have something like this outside of this place, given their status.
and even still, in the back of his mind? fuck it. since when were rules meant to be anything other than broken?
her hands slip beneath the edge of his tank and his own slide over the expanse of her thighs, memorizing the shape of them, daring to slip a little bit beneath the hem of her dress but he doesn't go too far, not just yet, because all that character development he'd been the recipient of before he'd come here won't allow him to be bold beyond his capacity to tell when too much is too much.
she might be his — but. taking advantage right from the start is something else altogether.
( and get him far enough into it? he won't think that much about it. ) )
