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!

"Let me spell it out for you, since you seem to have problems noticing things around you. The ones in charge? Yeah, they seem to be human, buddy. So, maybe you oughta get off that chair of prejudice you're enjoying and take an actual look around you. This doesn't look like some Star Wars port or something, catch my drift?"

Yamamoto watches that and chuckles, knowing that he probably seems a little odd for only tucking away some of the beads. After all, he had been pretty naive about what some of the meanings were and... he doesn't want some attractive young woman he's just met the first impression that he likes... getting urinated on. He'd rather be a wild card. That's cool, right? When she mentions that it was her hand and that it could have possibly been something else, he lifts an eyebrow right back.

"Uh..." Yeah, he has no idea what she means by that, but he is glad that it had been her hand. "Right!" It could have been her... head? Yamamoto doesn't like to think he's the only lost, underage young man in a place like this... so why isn't there a bead for 'help I'm a virgin and I don't know what to do'?

[ Sara decides she can trust him, after all. She smiles back up at him sheepishly when she smiles at her, but averts her eyes and blushes as soon as he indicates the couples, focusing on the ground

She is out of her element here, and it’s obvious. ]


Where would we find somebody like that? How do we know they won’t toy with us or only tell us things we already know?

It's the lifted eyebrow of confusion that solidifies it for her. Looks like she seemed to be the lost puppy magnet for today. "Right," she echoed, a smile spreading slightly over her face. Really, she couldn't help being a little bit of a tease. It was genetic or something.

Well, that and it was fun.

"Because, you know, some other parts might have been kind of embarrassing, clothed or not, you know?"

[ When he smiles, she smiles back. Brightly. ] You keep horses?

[ She sounds a little bit excited. But when he says nothing could be worse, the smiles dies a little and she nods sympathetically. ] At least we’re not hurt…. I think there’s always some way out of everything if you look hard enough. We just have to figure out where to find it.

"I have no other accommodations, and if you are certain it would not be a burden..." He couldn't imagine the idea of not accepting an offer to live with his god. Of course, living with one's heroes... or deities... could be difficult, but he was young enough that he leapt at the chance.

He hung on Elua's words, his blue eyes wide and interested. He never could have heard this anywhere else- and it was clear that he was fascinated. "Our stories... the Cassiline stories say that he followed you out of brotherly love, and to make up for the way the One God had turned against you. He never abandoned you as the Misguided did." He frowned. It sounded as though Elua could have meant something else, something more than friendship... but no, that was impossible, Cassiel was celibate. All the stories said so.

Yamamoto picks up on that right away, and his embarrassment only seems to smother the rest of his expression because it is clearly taking him too long to react the way any normal guy would.

Still, he's a calm guy, no matter how nervous and underage he might be. So, the swordsman finally catches her drift and then remembers all the people he'd seen today that had been so active. With the messages running in his mind, he can't seem to steer his eyes away as they look her over and he takes a soothing, small breath before smiling casually.

"Not in a place like this, right? It's kind of expected! It would have been more embarrassing if it were on purpose!" And at that, his nerves soothe away behind another chuckle.
sawyourwolfjunk: (Or... you could just NOT do that)

[personal profile] sawyourwolfjunk 2012-10-25 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"More embarrassing? I dunno, man. Only if it was rebuffed." Even then, she didn't think half the people gave a flying whossit about being turned down, since they seemed to just turn to the next available body and rinse and repeat. Really good for a girl's esteem.
piace_tutto: (The magic man!)

[personal profile] piace_tutto 2012-10-25 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yamamoto wouldn't dream of that, but then... not many girls are bumping into him, and even if it were on purpose, he'd likely excuse himself to spare their modesty instead of trying to fit in with this new place.

"One way is more embarrassing for me, and another for you. Good thing it was an accident, though!" Not that he wants to avoid talking about her body, just that it's something he isn't accustomed to. It's not how he was raised, and it will have to take a while longer in Ariel for him to even begin following any kind of lead.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Yamamoto takes a step back from her, forgetting for a moment in his nerves that he hadn't introduced himself. That goofy smile is back and he bows, "I'm Yamamoto!"
sawyourwolfjunk: (Wait... did you say 'free'?)

[personal profile] sawyourwolfjunk 2012-10-25 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
The bowing was new, and she gave it an arched brow, wondering if it was a time thing, a cultural thing, or if he was from some weird place like that other guy and his pokey-balls.

"I'm Kenzi. So, Yammy, what do you think of our new little place so far, hmm? Cozy, isn't it?" Cozy was one way to put it. Debauched might be a better one. Perverted would probably be the best.

She was all for living and letting live and being free and expressing yourself with yadda yadda, but this place was like... succubus heaven. Bo would probably have a freakin' field day here. If she was here.
piace_tutto: (but I didn't have a mountain)

[personal profile] piace_tutto 2012-10-25 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yamamoto straightens up quickly as the bow hadn't been too deep. If it had, he'd probably had looked very odd with their height difference. Instead of addressing it, he just laughs at the nickname she's given to him based off his family name. She must not be familiar with Japanese customs, but he isn't bothered, because a great many of his friends are Italian and there are some interesting differences there!

"Nice to meet you, Kenzi!" He likes that name, and thinks that this is probably the first person he's met that isn't treating him like the fool he feels. "Well... I wouldn't say that, but it is very welcoming." His eyes soften as he looks off for a second, wondering if any of his friends were brought to this world as well. "Have you been here for very long?"
sawyourwolfjunk: (Less than impressed)

[personal profile] sawyourwolfjunk 2012-10-25 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Define 'long'. I mean, I would have said no this morning, but after walking around all day in a reality porno show, it's hard to actually keep track of rational time. I keep expecting to wake up."

To wake up and be back on her couch, blissfully wrapped up in her pjs and with a handy bottle of wine within reaching distance. Oh, yes please.

And for the record, she didn't have a clue about Japanese customs. She was Canadian. Not much travelling in her itinerary.

"Haha! So by a few hours, then! I'm just trying to get on my feet, but there uh, doesn't seem to be a lot of talking going on." Though the man that had answered his questions after processing had been helpful, he hadn't been clear on whether or not Yamamoto's family was brought to Ariel as well.

There is a great deal of determination and concern about them helping to cloak all his nerves, so when he looks back at her, there is nearly no trace of the boy she'd ran into. "Do you have something important to get back to?" It would be a comfort for him to know he isn't the only one in that regard.
sawyourwolfjunk: (Are you effing kidding me?)

"Just my bestie." And her video games. Man... she already missed her video games. And her wine. And her clothes. They'd told her she only had two changes in her 'room'. Which sucked, because she was a massive clothes horse. This was cruel and unusual punishment.

Not as far as they are telling us... but perhaps there are other ways...

[Damn it Rin... Yukio was doing such a good job at ignoring those subliminal messages...Why did you come and disrupt his focus?]

But until then... We will just have to wait and play their games, right, nii-san?

[And with that Yukio steps forward and lightly brushes his hand against Rin's face with a touch that was not too brotherly and much more friendly.]

"Besties?" Yamamoto asks, looking perplexed. He thinks he has an idea of what she means, but doesn't want to assume. Unlike anything to do with sex, he's alright seeming naive about most everything else.

"No, of course it would not be. I love having company, I am afraid I have gotten rather used to having someone around these last several years." Elua smiled to himself, but it was the truth. Going from having a constant Companion in the form of Cassiel to being all on his own once again was jarring. Perhaps this young man would not mind if he filled in for an angel.

Elua did a very bad job of suppressing his smile when Joscelin said that it was only brotherly love that had caused Cassiel to follow him. Though there were some things that he needed to clear up right away. "They were not Misguided, my child. And they have not abandoned me. No more than a child that leaves home to find his own way in the world has abandoned his parents." His tone was only mildly disapproving of Joscelin's words, but it seemed that these Cassilines had some misconceptions about his Companions, and he did not approve of that at all.

[Replying to this here. Even if I forgot my own plan for a moment and hit Post Comment in the wrong place...]

"You have no idea what I am." Luppi shook his head with a small smile. As far as he knew, he could take on anyone who wasn't a more highly ranked Espada or Aizen himself. He still held the somewhat delusional view that he could stand up against any Shinigami if he just had another chance. What was this guy who was embarrassed by his hard-on - the only reason he could imagine not to just come right out and admit it - compared to that?

He fished out his handful of beads, swirling them around in his palm. "Does the threat mean you're hoping to get one of these?" Luppi held up a red bead. "Or would one of these be a better getting-to-know-you present?" Now a blue and a white. That he didn't want his help with the problem he wouldn't even admit he had only encouraged Luppi to push for more. "Or we can stand here and enjoy the show together."

The beads disappeared into his sleeve again as he turned his attention back to the couple. "Where do you think his hand is?"

[Did Rin's tail just poof up like a cat's?

... yup. Sure did. At least Rin had the forethought to keep his hand from coming up and smacking Yukio's away, but he does take a small step back.]

[Greed had enough self-awareness to wonder if that was not the exact right move. Sometimes needing people, finding their faults, it wasn't always the best way to get what you wanted - but sometimes it was. Sometimes playing to pride was the best possible thing you could do. He knew pride, he knew someone named Pride, and plenty of people brimming with it. This kid was proud.

To proud to let an insult like that stand. Greed kept grinning. So, he'd done right, had he? Of course he had.]


I'm always willing to take home a prize.

[That's his cue to approach, to brush his fingers playfully through the blonde's hair, flicking his bangs away from his face so he could see it properly. Pretty. Yes, this was a good choice. He could definitely enjoy this.]

And what do I get to ask for? Can it be anything?

[There was an implication in that, "anything," a very dark and wicked implication.]

[The first time always stings, sadly, Greed has learned that over and over again. Well, it never hurt him, because he was never the one getting filled, but he'd seen the pain on the faces of others. And he is sure that he'd see it on Silver's - Silver isn't big for age, after all, and Greed is far from a small man.

But despite his looks and his sharp teeth, Greed is at least being gentle with this. His thumb works around slowly and carefully inside of him, spreading him out without too much force. He leans down, trailing kisses over Silver's back, his neck, just to let him feel even more good sensation.]

Yamamoto may not like or even fully understand what is required of him in this place save for 'have sex', which he's never done, but he is calm. The groups of people looking like they are comfortable with their city and even the pairs that seem to more comfortable displaying their... affection are bothering him. The swordsman would rather look out for his friends and the rest of their 'family' as he travels down the street in search of a familiar face.

There is no clear distress in his expression, only the knowledge that they must be somewhere and that he has a responsibility to them to pass on what he knows. Before that, though, comes the desire to help someone in trouble. Sara doesn't know him, and he doesn't know her, but she looks troubled, so the swordsman follows.

The sound of the festivities grow quiet as he leaves them behind and stops behind her, hearing her pant and looking worried. Either she's just out of breath, or she really intends to run straight out of the city. Whatever reason it is, Yamamoto doesn't think it's wise for a girl to be alone... especially with the nature of this place.

"Excuse me." The Rain says softly, standing relaxed behind her with his brow knitted in slight concern.
wantitall: (now isn't that an idea)

[personal profile] wantitall 2012-10-25 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
You sure about that?

[Now Greed's fingers are pressing in more firmly. It could best be called a massage, working the muscles in his shoulder. They certainly don't feel that relaxed.]

Seems like you're awful stiff to me.
