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!! |
end in the discord
Huuuh? You mean you don't know--?
[ Grabbing her arm back with his own and dropping his tone into something quieter and more concerned (as if they might be overheard), he continues: ]
It's like, a huuuge organ-harvesting ring! So if anyone invites you to an "orgy" or anything like that...watch out!!
no subject
Huh?
[ But even still, there's a good few seconds of her tensely listening, right up until he finishes. ]
J-Just how stupid do you think I am?!
no subject
He tilts his head and hums for a second, as if actually considering that question. But he ultimately ends up flashing a grin with his answer. ]
... Weeell, that depends! Are you asking if I think you're stupid enough to go to an orgy, or if I just think you're stupid enough to not know what "orgy" means?
no subject
[ It takes her just a second, as if she had to think about it, through the thought of that being what's really happening back there throwing her a bit off balance. Though clearly someone is just a little short tempered... and just short in general.
Only then does a thought pop into her head, staring at where she touched him a moment before. ]
Y-You didn't just... Ugh, I'm going to need like ten showers.
no subject
Ehhh? So now you're saying you think I'm the stupid one?
[ He puts on a mock offended one, placing a hand against one of his own cheeks in a sudden woeful display. ]
That's so mean!! Not even ten showers can wash away hurt feelings, y'know!
no subject
You know what they say, if the note fits...
[ No, that's not what they say at all. ]
Your hurt feelings aren't my responsibility, Checkers!
[ Aaand, she just gave him a nickname. ]
no subject
Hey, no fair! You can't give me a nickname before I've even introduced myself, Pinky...!
[ Even though he is doing the absolute same thing right now...
He brightens up almost immediately after this exclamation, grinning and gesturing an index finger up. ]
But it's funny... 'Cause Pinky rhymes with "orgy", right? So it'll be super easy to remember!
[ Because that is a better point of memory than just the fact that she has pink hair, sure. ]
no subject
"Pinky"?! That's barely a rhyme at all! [ Somehow, she does not take as well as she gives, getting huffed up over an equally unoffensive nickname. ]
My name is Nonon Jakuzure, remember it!! [ She doesn't know him at all. She has no reason to even think that she wants to know him or vice versa, but she's clearly too proud to back down now. ]
no subject
[ Seriously, just the worst! But he won't even bother getting huffy about it, since he's going to jump at the opportunity to show his own pride. They both need high horses because they're so short, clearly. ]
O-kay, my turn! I'm Kokichi Ouma, Ultimate Supreme Leader! They're no orgies, but I've got business with several reaaally big, powerful organizations. Including a few organ-stealing ones!
[ He gestures his arms out a bit as he says all this energetically. ]
no subject
Because, as soon as she launches into his title and background trying to make himself seem oh-so-amazing, Nonon refuses to sit idly by.
With just as much pomp and circumstance as the capable conductor she is, Nonon launches into her own accomplishments, hand on her hip, her other pointed straight forward at Kokichi. ]
"Supreme Leader?" I am one of the Four Devas of Honnouji Academy, heir to the Jakuzure Transportation Conglomerate, and right-hand woman to Satsuki Kiryuin, the future Leader of the world!
no subject
Ouma crosses his arms as Nonon starts on her own stature to counter his own, lifting up a hand as soon as she finishes as if to wave off her accolade monologue, even though he's just listened to the whole thing with full attention. ]
Wow, a bunch of stuff I've never even heard of!! But I guess you've gotta start somewhere, right? It's always fun to have a little competition!
[ Of course, nobody here is from the same "world", so there's no point in making these proclamations -- but he's doing it, anyway. ]
Even though you just outed yourself as second banana to someone else... That's so lame! You're not one of those Submissives or whatever, are you? Is that why you're here tonight??
no subject
Someone else with less of an ego would have walked away. But Nonon only doubles down. ]
Whether you've heard of it or not it doesn't make a difference! Honnouji Academy is the strongest school in all of Japan!
[ She's nearly grinding her teeth, learning forward (despite her lack of height) as she pokes him in the chest as if it would help make her point. Despite having just talked about needing a shower after she touched him before.
Except... calling her a submissive? That gets an altogether different response, so far unseen from Nonon. She takes a weak step back, her face turning up hot red. ]
W-What the hell gives you that idea?! You need to get your brain checked, Checkers! [ She's not a submissive though... at least, not the kind with the marking on her. ]
no subject
[ Ouma snickers, amused by the notably different kind of rise he's just gotten out of her. He brings a finger up to his lips in a gesture caught between like he's contemplating something or just hiding the shit-eating smirk on his face. ]
-- That's a lie! I was only guessing. But I'm preeetty sure I got it right by your reaction just now. Your face totally when pshhhh like it was sizzling!
[ The sound effects are unnecessary, but he's not going let her live that one down, of course. ]
no subject
[ Even though he's quick to admit his lie, Nonon still apparently has to try to get the last word in, to price somehow that she weren't so gullible as to believe something so dumb. But it likely doesn't help her climb out of this hole she's dug mostly on her own. ]
I'll make you sizzle in E-flat if you don't shut it, you pint-sized checker board!!
[ That doesn't really make sense, but when Nonon's mad she never does. ]
no subject
Maaan...hearing those words from a pipsqueak like you really stings...!!
[ She may be way (way) better dressed than him, but he can't take the size thing lying down. It's too bad, because it'd be a solid burn (sans the sizzling in E-flat thing) from anyone taller. ]
And I bet Nonon-chan is even without shrimpier without her heels on. Hey, hey -- do you keep them on as much as possible because of that??
[ Okay, he's not using Pinky at least (for now). It's her real name she'd given him. But at what cost........... ]
