« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »
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. ... 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 highrise. 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. Enjoy your free time until orientation! Participation is mandatory by all new and old arrivals. The weather is a brisk negative seven during the warmest parts of the day. |
 It's time for the monthly Duplicity train tour. 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. |
 Along with the usual Dom and Sub seminars and demonstrations, the powers that be have decided to try something a little more friendly. After attending the mandatory classes, all characters are invited to a (mandatory) social mixer! There are beverages and light snacks, and mingling is highly encouraged. Also, all participants have had their clothes removed and replaced with long shirts ( they are allowed to keep their undergarments, but nothing else is allowed ). Said shirts have the phrase “Ask me about _____!” plastered loudly and proudly on the front. It could be a character’s deepest, darkest secret, their most negative trait, or something embarrassing they had happen to them. Each participant is given a clipboard, pen and a piece of paper and are tasked with “asking” three others about what’s written on their chests. Once they’ve completed the task and handed in the assignment they’ll receive their clothes back. Of course, the long shirts can be removed, but that means you’ll be stuck in the nude or in your undergarments until you cooperate. |
 Not into your long shirts? Want to complain or refuse to participate? There’s another option! Unruly Dominants and Submissives will find themselves locked in a private room with a bed, stuffed together into a get-along-shirt. There’s no escaping the garment either, until certain conditions have been met. Written on a flip chart in the corner of the room are the tasks that need to be accomplished to “get along.” Are the two supposed to share a kiss? Sing a romantic duet together? Say the alphabet backwards in sync? The whole point of the exercise is to find that synergy a Dom and Sub pair are supposed to have. Maybe this isn’t the best way to find it, though… When the conditions are met the shirt is removable or rippable. Otherwise no matter how hard the characters struggle they’ll find themselves unable to get the pesky thing off. |
 Many local businesses have adapted to the timing of newcomers, and take advantage of the incoming crowds to do a little marketing. Stationed throughout Duplicity in LIEr-adjacent places such as the train station, the Up Apartments, the Down Motel, and the orientation center are representatives for local businesses and companies handing out free samples and hoping to attract business later. This month, there’s a particular presence by Harbroken Industries, a cosmetic and beauty company. They’re pushing free samples of their new pheromone perfume sprays, delicately scented and guaranteed to work. Sample bottles are freely available, but some overeager volunteers are taking the department store approach and spritzing unwitting passersby. The citrus scent is energizing and bright, inducing a talkative state where users cannot get enough conversation, and lose any internal filter for their words. The strawberry-vanilla scent is sweet and comforting, like a warm hug, which users will get a lot of with their new obsession with physical affection. Cedar-sandalwood makes those who use it tough as nails, angry and ready to pick a fight over the smallest slights. The cinnamon-pear scent makes its users feel adventurous and curious, and maybe a little TOO bold about trying new things. And predictably, the patchouli spray inspires “free love,” with an aphrodisiac effect that gets worse over time, unless taken care of quickly. The scents will wane and the effects will fade after six hours, or after the urges they cause are fulfilled. These volunteers are so eager to make a sale that it’s entirely possible to be hit with more than one spray at a time, so maybe take the long way around these areas if you’re looking to avoid them. |
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 assignments OOCly are still 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: Count the letters in your character's full name ( first, last, middle or whatever combo that they have ). If it totals twelve letters and below they are a Dominant. If it's thirteen and higher they are Submissive. Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!! |
Dominant
It does. it really does. [ and he grins at her. He feels a surge of adventurousness as the spritzers run away. ]
You know what? We need to have a date. And do something... fun.
Dominant (cw: underage)
Mm-hmm. Not a scent I would've ordinarily chosen, but it'll do for now. [and she knows that grin. that grin promises a good time]
You read my mind. Where would you like to go?
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
Maybe that fancy new restaurant, the one in the building, with the outdoor seating and the plants?
[ He waggles his eyebrows at her. ]
We can eat, we can talk, we can find a corner and mess around... maybe even figure out something new to try.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
That would be nice. I've never had the chance to go there, not yet.
[and she gives him a "what am I going to do with you?" grin]
All of those sound like great ideas. And if we're looking for something new, there are entire stores devoted to sex manuals and smutty toys. It's unreal.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
He has always liked trying new things with Tinya.
Jo nods and starts one way, hand in hand with her. ]
We should be able to get there quickly, if we lean on my status.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
maybe because Jo has always made her a little more bold?
she squeezes his hand following along happily]
I'd think so? I have a ton of paperwork that's supposed to let me go where I want, but it's not always true in practice.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
Still, he looks forward to it.
At her words, he nods. ]
Then let me be your shield, just in case. No need for us to take chances on that.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
and she's very much looking forward to it]
All right. I'll stand there, looking meek and mild and keep my eyes cast respectfully downward. And I'll try not to laugh.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[ He presses a kiss to her lips and dances around then sets off again. ]
I bet if anyone could pull it off, you could.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
the kiss is too short to return it, but she dances around with him]
Those years helping mother out on in the diplomatic corps had to be good for something.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
I would trust you far more than most diplomats ever.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
You probably should. Most of them were into whatever it would take to get them ahead of everyone else. Mother was like that.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[ He nods to her words and hmms. ]
Yeah, I saw so much of that on Rimbor and with the workforce that it drove me crazy.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[she takes his hand and squeezes it]
Speaking of, did you finally get the chance to tell that sleazebag McCauley to shove it?
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
Eventually. Not as much was I wanted, though.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
Yeah? No dramatic "take this job and shove it" speech? That had to have been disappointing for you.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
Sadly not.
But maybe in the future we can do it together.
[ Another kiss, another grope. He likes this now. ]
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[she kisses him back and as payback, gropes his ass]
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[ he kisses her again, grinning, and letting himself just enjoy this, a lot. ]
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[she kisses back intensely, pressing herself closely.
after they break the kiss and are on their way again, they manage to make it to the sex toy shop. Babes in Toyland and she has to roll her eyes at the name of the place]
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[ The sex toy shop name makes him laugh, and looking around, he hmmms. ] Huhn, this place is tamer than I thought it would be.
[ Rimbor had given him entirely undue ideas. But still, he was looking, being pulled by those urges, to seek something new, something different. ]
Maybe there are more interesting things in the back?
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[she shakes her head in amusement and says] I don't know, have you seen that over there. [she, too, is feeling urged to try something new, but there's something new that's reasonable and there's...that]
Maybe? Something we both can use, so it's not just you or me who's having all the fun.
((OOC: it goes without saying that the link is absolutely, positively 100% NSFW in any way, shape, or form))
Dominant (cw: underage)
[ He pointed to a new section, labeled BDSM, through a new door, where they could see an odd apparatus of bindings holding a manikin suspended in mid-air. He nudges her. ] That could be fun...
[ooc: LInk here is also nsfw!! ]
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[she enters the new section, hips swaying beguilingly] What is that? [she turns her head and grins at Jo] I do like the looks of it.
Re: Dominant (cw: underage)
[ He chuckles as he follows her, eyes on that lovely ass, and pokes the harness. His other hand slides down to cup over her ass. ]
That is a sex swing, it looks like. someone gets in it and is fucked by the other one. We could take turns... [ he reaches over to another shelf and lifts a harness and dildo set. ]
Think you would wanna use this on me?
