Test Drive Meme: The Overflow
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR THREADS OVER AT THE LATEST OVERFLOW POST, THANK YOU.
Please note that all CR in this meme can be carried over when the game starts between characters that are accepted into the game.
Threads can also count towards third and first person samples on the application, just provide links.
Take a look at our OOC Meet and Greet post! Meet. Greet. Make friends. Have fun!
 THE OVERFLOW Since the last post is fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post. Please continue your threads or start new ones here if you'd like. To make this easier on those continuing threads from the last meme, here's a handy form: Please remember to let your thread partners know you've bumped your threads over here as well! We started the meme early to give you plenty of room to do just that. With the City of Ariel grand opening only a month away, we are holding our first ever test drive meme. Tag in and see how your character would settle in the game. You're a fresh face in the city, newly processed, and arriving at a bustling time. The city is expanding and you are greeted first in the re-education center by your helpful counselors and then directed out of the building to a large festival. Be puzzled, make friends, have sex, or whatever you want! There are no restrictions on thread types played out here. Your first awareness that something has gone wrong comes during a groggy moment of semi-lucidity when you look around yourself and find that -- instead of wherever you remember being last -- you're in a chair, in a room with a man you don't recognize. He's sitting behind a desk whistling to himself and sorting paperwork. The whole atmosphere might remind you of a high school guidance counselor's office, only with far more comfortable chairs. You were brought to Ariel during a very special time! There's a large festival going on celebrating the new expansions to the city and everything is decked out for it. Everything is bustling and vibrant in the city today because of the celebrations. There are decorations up, food vendors set up all along the streets, kissing booths, games, and just about anything else you can imagine an event like this would have! The people of Ariel are out and about as well, some are in vibrant costumes and others are just checking out the sights. Some of the more exhibitionist types are even having a little more fun out in public than you may be used to seeing back home. As soon as the grogginess from your arrival passes, you are allowed to leave the re-education center and see it all for yourself. Upon exiting, you are even handed beads of various colors, several of each so you don't worry about running out. Each color has a special meaning listed below: pink - toys These are to aid you in making a connection with others. Show your interest in others and tell them exactly what you would like to do with them by sharing the beads. If you would rather take a different approach, feel free to walk around the festival and see what (or who) catches your eye. The point is to relax and get settled in your new home. | |
| TAG IN - Post your character's name, canon, and preferences. - Set up an opener in your comment or leave it blank. - Tag around and have fun! | USEFUL LINKS: [Premise] [Rules] [F.A.Q.] [Locations] [Local Citizens (NPC)] [Taken] [Wanted] [Reserves] [Application] [Main] [Logs] [OOC] |

A shock of red hair catches his eye moving past and he raises his glass to her in cheerful salute. "Fellow new arrival?"

He asks the waiter for another beer when he arrives and glances over at Natasha for her order.
no subject
She waits until the man leaves to start scanning the crowd again. "About ten minutes?" Her tone doesn't sound particularly pleased. "You seem awfully comfortable for a man who's just been told he's been abducted by aliens. This normal for you?"

The beads on the table are a collection of every colour offered, all of them shoved at her on her way outside. Someone began to explain them, but she'd been more interested in finding out where she was and how she could get back home. But she notes how Dean's fingers push them around. "Don't tell me you want more," she says, looking at his own proudly worn collection.
no subject
He lifts his eyebrows at the question and chuckles, shaking his head. His own collection are about half his and half 'collected'. It's been a busy few hours. "Somehow, that doesn't sound like an offer. I need a break, anyway."

He sifts through the beads and plucks out a yellow strand. "I'm gonna go ahead and advise you to just toss this color. Well, unless you're into watersports, I guess..."
no subject
What's horrible is that Natasha can't really think of a better way to keep an entire nation passive. Sex is a fantastic motivator. She's gotten more information through pillow talk than she has through torture. It's twisted, and it's brilliant, and she takes another sip of her drink as she stares down at the pile of beads. "So how do these work?" She's not going back to the orientation room to find out, and it seems that Dean stuck around to hear the details.
no subject
He puts his beer down and takes the beads, sorting them out into their various colors. He points out each one and its purpose. "You hand 'em off to people you want to get busy with and they, usually, drag you off somewhere to do it. Or they just do it wherever you happen to be."
no subject
By the time Dean is finished with his explanation, Natasha has tipped to the side, observing a couple behind him. "I can see that." Very clearly, in fact, as the man drops down to his knees and his grinning faced disappears underneath his partner's short skirt.
no subject
His gaze tracks to where she's looking and he nods. "Exactly. A couple of the vendors told me that the city isn't quite so... robust generally, but the festival is for spreading the love, I guess. And welcoming us newcomers."
no subject
"I suppose he's collecting blue." It's an off-handed remark, a bit of a joke, but not really. She doesn't want to be funny enough to remember. But she's still toying with the strands of blue beads that she now has wrapped around one hand. Because blue is easy. She's good at giving and good at getting and it can be over in minutes when necessary.
Her other hand has the red beads wrapped around her fingers, also just as easy for her. She picks up her vodka and swallows down the rest of it, inhaling through her nose and savouring the burn in the back of her throat.
no subject
And she doesn't need to be funny to be remembered by Dean. He's got an eidetic memory for redheads.
He watches her fidget with the beads in her hands and can't tell if it's worry or interest. "You okay?"
no subject
Oh, why the hell not? He's a good looking guy and he seems to be just as stymied by the whole experience as she is, and she's got to start carving out a foothold here if she's going to get enough power to get the fuck out. "Finish your beer," she says, nodding her head over her shoulder. "Let's get out of here." And she's already looking around for a more prime location, someplace that's going to catch some attention.
