« « « OUT OF CLUTTER FIND SIMPLICITY

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.

» » » 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. 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!!

[ ooc: no canon birthday! let me know if you would rather avoid fgo part 1 or true name spoilers so i can accommodate you in tags.

as a heads up, assassin has doppelganger powers that sort of go into mind-reading territory. info and permissions here. medb icons by

rerolls! ]

⋆ lies travel in company

the tour, a
[ Insurmountable walls, cookie cutter roles, and a clear line between the haves and have-nots. No matter how many times peoples fight for their freedom, there will always be places that fall into the same old routine of power and control. The rebel Assassin is finds it difficult to stomach. In the meantime, he turns into someone who wouldn't.

The beautiful queen of Connacht brims with excitement, giggling as she watches the scenery pass by. And by scenery, she doesn't just mean whatever's out the window. Slender fingers stroke the handle of her whip while her eyes scour the train for a new toy. Why else would she be here but to be pleasured and adored? Big, strong arms that will hold her. Handsome, rugged faces that will tell her they want her so. And not to mention their long, thick— ]

Ahahaha! How lovely. So many of our companions seem to have excellent fighting spirit. Wouldn't you say so?

the tour, b
[ Assassin can't stay in Medb's head for too long; she's enjoying it way too much. At some point during the tour, he gets off the train and gets on a completely different person: black hair like silk, catlike eyes, inked peonies that decorate his bare chest, and a dragon tattoo that wraps all around his limbs. He walks with a certain swagger that also appears to slink into his seat.

His languid drawl isn't out of place in the Down. ]

Hey. This seat taken? I wouldn't wanna keep you from anybody. [ But his smile says he wouldn't mind if he did. ]

north park
[ Anger isn't a good look on Assassin, so he turns to music to calm him down. In a secluded corner tucked into one of the ornamental gardens, he practices the smooth notes of a romantic ballad. However, the session is cut short when he notices a presence behind him mid-chorus. ]

Sorry, sorry! Am I being too loud? I was pretty good though, right? Right?

[ He is, in fact, stupidly good. So good that his attitude is kind of irritating! ]

⋆ end in the discord

[ Determined to learn more about this new world he's somehow rayshifted into—if that's what really happened—he heads over to Autonomy to ask around. Everyone's gotta start somewhere before they kick ass. And if it takes more than a fake name and smile to get info around here, then... ugh. Time to do this dance again. ]

as medb
[ From the rim of your drink, the beauty catches your gaze with a knowing smirk and half-lidded eyes. ]

Are you staring? It's okay. Really, it is! I know I'm perfect. But... [ A finger brushes under your chin. ] Are you perfect for me? ... Want to find out?

[ You are probably 1) the easiest of men and 2) not his type. God help him. ]

as himself
[ Wallflowering? Regardless of gender, he approaches with his usual amiable demeanor. ]

I saw you on the train earlier. That means you're new too, right? I'm Jet. [ Or Bruce. Or Jackie. Or Andy. Or Sam. But never Kevin. That's way too predictable. ]

What do I call ya? [ He chuckles. ] You got ten seconds before I give you one!

fight
[ Sorry, someone got a little too handsy.

We hope you dodge the body he sends flying right toward you. ]

⋆ wildcard

[ open to m/f and m/m! feel free to pm me if we need to discuss anything beforehand. ]

[ Jeanne just about managed to spot the incoming body, and snatches it out of the air with almost surprising strength, slamming the poor handsy dude into the ground whereupon the back of his head becomes her new footrest. ]

Alright! Who's picking a fight because they've got one!?

[ This whole new situation had been stressing her out... ]

[ He's so pleased that he bursts into a resounding laughter that fills the room. A familiar face is as good as any, even if it belongs to the least agreeable member of the group.

Actually he wishes she'd be someone cuter but beggars can't be choosers. He waves her down. ]

Hahahaha, yo! If it ain't Ms. Dragon Witch! Hope you haven't been burning Bibles again. Don't really care if you do, though.
