Test Drive Meme: The Overflow, Part Deux!


CITY OF ARIEL: THE TEST DRIVE
THE OVERFLOW, PART DEUX!


Since the last post is again fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post, even though there's just a little over a week to game start.

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.

When your head clears enough to speak and you ask him where you are, he smiles brightly and says, "Welcome to the City of Ariel."

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
blue - oral
yellow - watersports
green - age play
lavender - crossdressing
orange - multiples
grey - bondage
white - hands (mutual masturbation, fingering, handjob)
red - blood
black - wildcard

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!

Rin made a very... interesting noise at the grab, everything from his shoulders down tensing. He snarled, a very guttural, animal-like growl trailing out after it. He wasn't one to resort to biting, but right then he was about to make a big damn exception.

"None of yer goddamn business! Get your hands offa me!"

I have to wonder that myself.

[The more he learns about this place, the more Rufus can see the angles to be played. Of course, he has not been here long, to there were still many many holes to fill... but it was only a matter of time. At the very least, he hoped so.]

I think we would need to find somebody sober first. [A small smile, directed at her even as he looks away, out into the crowd and over... couples.] Or people not currently busy.

It is a place having some problems right now. The planet has a tendency to sort itself out. Right now it is just... overcompensating a little.

[Rufus would know. Up until he had gotten here, he had dealt with Geostigma every day for weeks on end.] No, not a doctor, but I help with funding and research. One of the more interesting jobs that I have had in the last few years.

[Well, you know, besides being President.]

I think it's a nice name, Night. [Nods.] Yeah, My...[Pausing for a moment.] Pa gave it to me.

[Smells of the place constantly fill her nose as well as the thoughts continue to fill her mind. Was that really the only way to make this annoyance stop? Snapped back to the conversation she smiles softly.]

If I was picky I would have starved by now. [Home...she left the only person she ever knew and lost the others she loved before that. Thinking about it causes a sad look to cover her face.] No, not anymore.

He raises an eyebrow. Asks, neutrally, "Did you?" Though he already knows the answer. This man would not have approached him, if he hadn't. He is intrigued. Attracted.

This is not a sort of admiration Thrawn has ever experienced.

"Well I will not be expecting you to tell the whole of it today of course. That would be far too much to expect of one man. Do you have a place to stay in this city? I have accommodations, though they are not exactly spacious. I would be pleased if you would share them with me. Unless you already have other arrangements of course." He wanted to keep this young man near him, both to hear his tales and because he was a small piece of the country that he so loved and that he was separated from for now.

Elua's smile grew and he leaned back in his chair, taking a sip of wine. "Beautiful, of course. Brown hair and stormy grey eyes. Very quiet. Stoic. He never says very much, but he notices everything. He is everything I could have asked for in a bodyguard. And my dearest friend." He loved all of his Companions of course, but it was clear that Cassiel held a special place close to his heart. "Of course, he never believes me when I call him my dearest, but I think... perhaps he gets jealous of the others that I spend my time with." He sighed, taking a sip of his wine, he just wished that he could help Cassiel see that just because he loved many people didn't mean that he loved him any less. "He is far more caring and loving than many give him credit for, even himself. They see his frown and his daggers and think that is all there is to him. But he is so much more than that."

He looked up then, his head tilted slightly to regard Joscelin. "What do your stories say about him? I must admit I'm curious."

"Lay off the temper tantrum juice," she said, hands on her hips as she glared at him.

She shrugged. "Who knows? Poke around a bit more. Maybe go see what my 'place' looks like. You?"

Yamamoto may not have been in Ariel for very long, but he's looking almost as comfortable as one of the natives while he walks through the crowd, seemingly amused by the celebration surrounding him until he notices a couple in the distance. It's only curiosity that draws him closer at first, and then when he sees what the couple is doing, his face turns a healthy shade of dark pink. For a while, he doesn't even move away from what he's seeing, so engrossed is he that he takes a step back and into another person.

In his current, lust-muddled mind, he's made jumpy by the accidental physical contact, and the swordsman wheels around to steady the poor young woman he's accidentally backed into, hands grabbing her shoulders before he realizes how uncomfortable this must be for a stranger. As soon as they're there, Yamamoto drops them and huffs a determined breath the school down the heat that began to sink into him. Of course, this woman had been watching as well, and he realizes that, looking over her face as he mutters a low apology. How in the world is she so composed while those two people are... so busy behind them.

"My bad! Hehe... Uh. Guess I didn't see you." Of course he hadn't, but that doesn't make his apology any less sincere.

[personal profile] codedvixen 2012-10-25 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, I gotchya. I'm not exactly pure and snowflakey myself. Wonder what kind of system they have here for legal stuff.
piace_tutto: (I'll be there. And I'll look good)

[personal profile] piace_tutto 2012-10-25 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[This is the first person that he's seen who is so interested in what is going on around them, and regarding someone who probably has no idea that there is an audience. Yamamoto approaches Shauntal and stops at her side, glancing briefly at the couple before he directs everything else to the line the woman is writing. A cock of his head and a grin are thrown down at her as he tries to read over her shoulder.]

Do you know them?

[personal profile] codedvixen 2012-10-25 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Lots and lots of moving," she agreed, thinking of other things, but knowing what he meant. Taking a small step back, she dug into her pocket for her room key as she nodded off the elevator.

"Let's go, oh tempting one."
piace_tutto: (He really likes that dog!)

New one!

Those hands do touch clothing, landing on Yamamoto's arm. It's muscled enough that there should be little room to panic or assume anything indecent. He doesn't seem to mind and as he blinks over either, his smile pleasant and curious. This woman does not seem like one of the many comfortable natives he's passed. He may very well be able to pass as one of them, though, if not for the sword on his back and the odd array of colors hanging from his neck.

"Haha! I hope I didn't hurt you!" The young Japanese man looks towards someone who might have shoved her. It looks like a simple accident, so... maybe her bad or someone else's. Either way, there's no harm done, and now he has someone to talk to!
sawyourwolfjunk: (I can be just as coy as I want)

Well hello thar

[personal profile] sawyourwolfjunk 2012-10-25 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"What? No, no, I'm cool. Sorry about that." She straightened up, smoothing her hair down out of habit. She did eye the sword, both envious that he had one (because hers was back at home as far as she knew) and curious as to who ran around with one strapped to their back.

He was awfully smiley for someone who wasn't naked and doing any of what half the people around them were doing. But hey, she'd much prefer that to being snapped at - or worse. "You cool?"

[Replying to this here.]

It was a human girl who caught the bead, an easily startled one at that. He wonders what else he can do to make her jump and cry out. (He could do without the fumbling if things go the way this city seems to be encouraging them.)

"It's yours, now." Luppi circles her, taking her in and trying to keep her off guard. "You're pretty lucky, you know. There aren't a lot of people I let tell me what to do."

He stops now directly in front of her with a sweet smile on his face. No one knows him here, so there's no one to know what a lie it is. "What are you going to ask for?"

Of course.

[He holds the cup out to Dean as they head out to the street.]

Here, I didn't want to take away the entire cup from you. I do like to share.

[Not that he's going to protest if Dean just wants to give it to him. Or kiss him to have a taste.]
piace_tutto: (Maybe go to seaworld.)

Yamamoto watches her while she apologizes and waves it off, not bothered in the slightest that she'd run into him. He's a pretty big guy for his age, so he's just glad that that collision hadn't knocked her down. Then again, he hadn't been moving, so... it's all good!

"Haha! Yeah! I guess so." And he brushes the sleeve of his shirt off right on the forearm just for show because hey, the most damage she'd done is wrinkle it and maybe startle him a little. The swordsman may be able to play cool, but he's underage and still trying to digest the fact that he is very much lost and confused in a place like this. It's a lot of pressure, really and somehow... it's not so heavy when he can see someone else smiling at him. His own softens into something less dorky and he takes a step back to allow her more space. Really, it will make him more comfortable too, considering he feels bad about the fact that he's staring on top of acting goofy around a complete stranger. Who is he trying to impress? Come on.

"It could have been worse then that, right? Hehe!" She could be a man, or someone threatening, or... someone trying to have sex with him? Yamamoto isn't sure what to expect, and he tucks some of the beads around his neck down out of sight to leave only the black one exposed.

Dean might be toasted, but Jake's been keeping himself clear headed. No beads for him, other than the ones he was given at the start shoved in his pocket. He's noticed that quite a few new arrivals have taken to their new environment with zeal.

Like that guy over there. Apparently clothes were now frowned upon, but the guy seemed comfortable enough and had the smile of someone that was heading past buzzed and into drunkville. Hey, it was better than some of the cringing violets he'd seen while walking around. Those ones made him wonder about the selection factor behind their hosts. The way this guy was ogling everything on legs that walked by him, though... Jake wasn't overly concerned about him fitting in.

Not that he was judging. He liked to scratch the itch more than just as necessary himself. He just wasn't quite so sure about it in a place like this. Sighing, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his smokes, lighting one up and taking a deep drag.
sawyourwolfjunk: (Right. Only... not)

[personal profile] sawyourwolfjunk 2012-10-25 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
She watched him straighten himself, brow lifting slightly at the color that was left displayed on his chest, wondering if that was intentional or not. "Fair enough. I mean, at least it was my hand, right?"

Considering what she'd had pressed up against her while moving through the crowd, she was tempted to burn her clothes later. Or wash them in bleach. And fire. And more bleach. Then maybe her eyes could go next.

Her own beads were shoved far, far out of sight.
