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!

[ Far be it from him to avoid noticing something, but perhaps it was the sheer insanity of the situation that had caused Sherlock to overlook a few important details. Such as some of the people around looking a lot less like people, and a lot more like things out of faerie tales. Could be costumes. Could be surgical alterations. Could be distractions meant to deter those trying to find answers from their quest. Or they could be as real as anyone else within the city, and provide a physical impossibility for Sherlock to ponder.

The edge of irritation in the man's voice doesn't go unnoticed, though it is disregarded as Sherlock has to deal with people becoming annoyed by his antics on an almost-daily basis. A breath his pulled back and the detective offers a terse smile to the other man. ]

Irrelevant. Clearly we've been provided with extraordinary circumstances. The goal here is to discern an ordinary connection between all of it.

[ Hope you enjoy copious amounts of condescension, Jake, as that isn't going to stop anytime soon. Sherlock wouldn't know how to turn it off even if he had a gun pointed to his head. ]

The ordinary connection seems to be sex. Everyone seems to be compatible in, uh, that regards and they seem to be pushing that as a preferred way to pass the time.

[Surprisingly, he's used to it. His partner is a condescending ass and he's had to keep himself from pulling his gun on him a few times. Not that it'd do much, stupid vampire that he is...]

Are all of your explanations equally asinine and misguided? [ He pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. ] The sex is a distraction, meant to pacify for the purpose of...

[ Wait, wait. Wait. Sherlock's words trail off and his expression vacates, jaw slightly slack as if his mind has run away with his consciousness and his body is just a hollow shell, waiting to be occupied by something sentient once more. The detective stands there, blank, then just as soon as it started, the empty expression is gone and Sherlock is grabbing Jake by both shoulders, excited, brows raised with his lips stretched into a grin. ]

Yes! Yes! Oh goodness yes! [ There isn't a person in the area experiencing euphoric symptoms quite like what Sherlock is demonstrating now. If one didn't know better, they'd think the detective was having an orgasm just from the realisation. ] You genius, ohhh how did I not see this before? [ And then he's pulling away, pleased, grinning, hands pressed together with the sides of his fingertips resting against his lips. Eyes fall closed in a pleased flutter of lashes, and Sherlock chuckles, laughs, shaking his head. ]

Stupid, stupid! How could I have thought otherwise when it's so obvious?

[ Yeah no, don't expect him to explain without being prompted. He thinks his revelations are as clear to the rest of the world as they are to him. Just a symptom of being Sherlock. ]

[Jake's just going to blink at this guy, wondering if maybe they messed something up with him when they put his chip in. Maybe they slipped it a little too close to his medulla oblongata or something.]

Do you smell burnt toast or something, buddy?
