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!

[ Someone's got really bad reflexes. He honestly expected Judal to catch the bead, not to get smacked in the face. But it's not that the fact it did bothered him too much, really.

He did expect retaliation of some kind, so when Judal went ahead and threw his bead as well, he moved quickly to catch it with a hand-- probably ruining the other man's plans on smacking his face. Looks like it was time he learned the crushing truth: not everyone had terrible reflexes. ]


Should I go ahead and take it as an invitation? I didn't expect you to want to exchange these with me now.

[ Ling knew the gesture had nothing to do with it, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to interpret it however he wanted anyway. After all, provoking those two still sounded like fun-- and of course, the bead Judal happened to throw at him seemed to work just fine for that.

Smirking as he looked at the object in his hand, he turned his attention to the two people in front of him shortly after. ]


Orange, really...? Well, there are three people in here right now.

"Ma'am." She smirks at him a little. "That's a good start." And she reaches out and hooks her finger through a strand of his grey beads while they walk. "Tell me, how do you feel about strong women?" Which is not in any way an offer to tailor herself to his personal desires. Natasha knows what she's good at, and she can see a little raised alcove in the building across the way. Almost like a stage. Perfect.

[Tseng just uses his momentum to drop, roll and pop back up facing Reno on one knee.]

Like I said previously, you never asked. I don't sleep under my desk like a dog Reno.

[His smirk is light.]

I just know the value of discretion, as do those I sleep with.

Not all the time, you are right. But right now it is a good place to start. [The more you one learned, the more one adapted. With so little to go on.]

Then let's keep going this way, we can get a feel for the city. [Rufus does not mind having the girl in toe- More eyes and ears to have out on what they might be looking for, or at least to confirm that they can't find what they need. And even as they do head down in the opposite direction of which she pointed, it seemed just more of the same; The whole city in the mode of festivities, sexuality and just plain in the mood to party.]

I'll hold you to it.

[She can feel the bulge in his pants and knows she must be doing something right. It excites her when he returns to her throat once again and she in turn begins to grope him more vigorously. She loves the way he's making her feel. The last time wasn't like this at all. No, she likes it much better when she's the center of attention.]

Something tells me you wouldn't like it if I was having more fun with another man.

[Just poking at his possessive nature a bit to hopefully provoke a reaction. She can't resist teasing.]

( con't from here )

[ noting the closeness of their faces, Izanami purposefully leans back. as easy at it would have been to kiss him, there would be time for those sorts of things later.

which would this guy be more comfortable with? going down on him, or having Iza do it instead? ]


Usually, people already have it in their head how they want this to go. [ a hand comes out, pressing against Kanji's chest; traveling down. ] I don't really mind being the one to go down on you.

[ his fingers pause for a moment, stopping at his pants. a thought striking him. ]

Turn around for a moment, please?

Having politely declined all of the beads upon hearing their descriptions, some he'd known he had no interest at all in keeping Ion had politely excused himself and walked away. He just was not sure what to make of all this, suddenly finding himself separated from everything he knew...and after...that...had happened. Hopefully everyone was okay, but he wouldn't know for awhile it seemed.

One good to come of this was he didn't feel as he usually did, having a bit more energy even though he'd been walking a while. At least it meant he was fine to look around and learn what he could.

I'm not inviting you to do anything, idiot!

[Judal was angry, and the casual way Ling was acting about this wasn't exactly helping. He stomped forward and aimed to poke Ling squarely in the chest, with a sharp jab of his figure.

He really tried to ignore that he had thrown the orange bead at him, for now -- and he figured that whoever that white-haired boy was wasn't likely to join in on whatever scenario Ling had in mind. Really, it was nothing to be concerned about.
]

Why did you just throw it at me?
noilikegirls: (ooookay?)

[personal profile] noilikegirls 2012-10-26 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As much as he'd like to get his mouth all over Izanami, he isn't against the idea of those lips on him. Kanji's eyes narrow at the trail of the hand on him, but they widen back up as the other man starts talking. ]

Alright?

[ Kanji turns and looks over his shoulder, curious. Obviously Izanami had an idea for how he wanted this to go. ]

[--oh my god. okay if they were going to be gross that was fine, ninurta could just judge them on his own later, whatever!! but don't even joke about getting him involved, even if it sounded appealing.]

Please don't try to involve me if you're just looking for anyone--!

[more like a quick lay!! unfortunately that phrase is not in ninurta's vocabulary. however, he did afford an annoyed glance in judal's direction as well as ling's, admittedly a little peeved at him also. even if he didn't mean it he still threw that bead which was apparently how courtship worked here. no excuse!]

He wasn't too keen on giving more than just the welcome speech, I would know. There is even less talk around here.


[They had to kick him out of the office before Rufus would leave, always a man of a million questions and demands.]

He let out a soft laugh and followed her out of the elevator, letting her lead the way to her door and inside. Couldn't wait for a little more privacy... see what they came up with. "First time seeing your place?"

[personal profile] idiotprince 2012-10-26 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you think...? You guys really are no fun.

[ Really, even as far as interesting reactions went, both of them weren't providing much. And Ling certainly wasn't interesting in pressing the matter further— after all, he much preferred willing and eager partners.

And thinking about it, the idea of finding one certainly was sounding more and more appealing the more time he spent with those two. Ignoring Judal's jab at his chest, he just sighed. ]


Are you two done insulting me yet...? I'd rather not waste too much time in here.

[Sam just nods, taking in the information. He hadn't been sure what to expect from the people here, honestly... he knew there'd have to be differences, but--

He hadn't expected them to be so great either.]
My home... it wasn't going so well there either.

[He didn't even know how to get into it though and there was no way he was breaking the ice by saying it was largely his fault the world was in trouble either.] I have to wonder what's going to happen back home while we're here, you know? If they'll even notice we're gone...

[personal profile] codedvixen 2012-10-26 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yep. The way these places are laid out, I'm guessing it's going to be standard fare for how the rooms are. Guess this is what yours is going to look like to," she said, opening the door and taking a step inside as she turned on the light.

Huh. Small. But doable. Better than a cubicle or a roll on the floor. She'd had worse. The schematics of her living situation are brushed easily aside as she turns around, pulling him in with a wicked grin. "Come inside and get comfortable, Sam."
wiles: (& only us)

[personal profile] wiles 2012-10-26 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you~

[ a smile appears on his lips as he unfastens the silk about his waist. it was always an intricate thing, putting on his clothing and having some of the younger apprentices of the brothel help tie his obis for him; but he made absolute sure that they would be easy to take off.

after all, his clothing did wind up shed at the end of the day. ]


Since you offered your gray one, I was thinking... [ he takes one of Kanji's wrists, careful as he began to wrap the silk about the wrist. ] How about we restrict your actions? No touching allowed.

[ he looks up to him, smiling; he was going to give him the chance to decline if he wished; it was almost as if he was waiting for a response before continuing his actions. ]

Something like a rule of sorts?

For Tony Stark

[personal profile] luciferspromdress 2012-10-26 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
((Continued from here!))

What is it you did before here anyway? [The name wasn't familiar at all, no, but he could guess he had to be pretty big where he was if the billionaire thing was actually correct. Right now? Sam will take a conversation about anything. He has nothing against sex, but even with the chip in his head doing its thing, he's not exactly in the mood to jump into any of the invitations he's received so far.

Maybe later.

He wasn't sure any of them would really get a choice in the matter to not give in eventually anyway.

He watched as Tony settled in beside him and he lets out a soft, amused snort.]


I guess. I mean, I know it could be a lot worse than this... It's just-- [He shrugs.] a lot to take in.

[Sam definitely wouldn't mind if the party stopped, if only because it might be easier to spot some familiar faces.]

I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised... this is his kind of city, man. Food, drink, sex. It's probably like heaven.

Sam was on... whatever drink this was. Normally, he didn't go get smashed, not if there was work to be done or he was in way over his head.

He was in way over his head.

Still, it didn't seem like a dangerous situation and neither did it feel like something he could solve regardless of how many hours of research he put in. So drinking it was then. Thankfully, there were quite a few vendors set up around here offering plenty of free flowing booze.

[personal profile] dickwithfangs 2012-10-26 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He saw a drink vendor and began to make his way over, getting cut off by a large brunet looking a little on the tipsy side. "Hey there, gigantor. Mind moving aside so a guy can get something to wet his thirst?"

God, he hoped this guy didn't start to keel over. He felt like someone should stand by and yell 'timber' if that happened. The thought had a smirk curving his lips.

Yeah? Tell you what I did, if you tell me the same. [He downed his next shot and shrugged.] I don't know, guess we'll figure it out.

[personal profile] codedvixen 2012-10-26 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She eyed him as she toyed with her next shot, lining the rim of the glass with her finger before nodding] Okay, you're on. What big bad business you got yourself involved in?

[personal profile] morelikerudal 2012-10-26 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You think I'm a waste of time...?

[Clearly, it was the best time to misinterpret small statements like that.

Judal only gave a quick look back at Ninurta before he jabbed at Ling's chest again -- but stepped forward, aiming to push Ling against the nearest hard surface with it.

For some reason, the idea of fulfilling that bead was sounding almost enticing. And -- well, this was a way to show this rude person up, wasn't it? He'd show him who's a waste of time. Even if this was far, far out of line with what his normal behavior was.

What could go wrong, really.

Elua is both very easy and very hard to find sometimes. Easy to find because he's just about everywhere, dancing, at the food stalls, in the bars and just walking around. Hard to find because... well he's everywhere. He never seems to stay in the same place for very long.

Luckily for anyone that isn't looking for him, he's quite easy to bump into, strings of beads across his chest and around his wrists and a smile on his face. No brooding here, and no sulking, just enjoyment of the people and the place around him.
