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!

Rufus ShinRa | FFVII Compilation (Once more, now that retail isn't eating me!)

[The world is full of bustling color due to the festival, tents and decorations, even costumes out in full force. It seems to sweep around the man in all white as he makes his way though the crowd, a few strings of the white beads left out that he wraps and unwraps around his fingers in concentration, as he observes this place.

But one simply does not learn by watching- to truly learn, and perhaps, find out exactly what he was doing here, besides the bullshit reason given by the government (He would know, he ran an empire once himself.) So it seems only natural to see out others himself.]


Interesting, isn't it? I wonder what the occasion is.

[ Sara looks at him dubiously. He seems friendly, and she wants to think someone in this place is safe to talk to, but it’s all so bizarre and awful and frightening. ]

I don’t know…. Do you think anyone would tell us the truth, us if we could find someone to ask?

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.

[ 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?

[Rufus is out of his element as well, though he has a better poker face to hide it behind.]

You don't. [This is where his skills come in, despite everything else. Rufus is a master of working around others, of being a chessmaster. Even if he does not know the board very well, there was always a point to start at, and right now, that was gathering like minded people, investigating and going though what he did know.] But that is where your intuition, or a gut feeling comes in.

[He steps forward to go ahead, half turning and offering her some words to follow along.] Let's go take a look around.

[personal profile] happiestsinner 2012-10-26 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Intuition…. [ Sara repeats the word to herself. She knows what it means, but she’s confirming its meaning for herself. ] The things you know without being said. But what do you do when your intuition tells you something wrong? You can’t rely on gut feelings all the time. Can you?

[ When he steps forward, so does she, taking a deep breath. It’s time to be brave! ] Where do we go first? I’ve been that way already – [ She points. ] – and there’s nothing.

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.]
happiestsinner: (doubt ❦ ( can't forgive ))

[personal profile] happiestsinner 2012-10-26 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s true.

[ Sara is relieved he doesn’t seem to mind having her around, since she’s a little nervous about wandering around alone right now. ] All right. Thanks for letting me come with you. What’s your name? I’m Sara.
fearmongering: (Dear Mr. President❞)

[personal profile] fearmongering 2012-10-27 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a problem. No reason not to stick together. [Better for him if he starts running into people he knows as well.]

Rufus ShinRa, a pleasure to meet you, Sara.
happiestsinner: (kindness ❦ ( a dream come true ))

[personal profile] happiestsinner 2012-10-29 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Strength in numbers, right?

Thank you, ShinRa-san. It’s nice to meet you as well! Maybe we should tell each other a little bit about ourselves. Where are you from?

[ It colorful true, brightly painted in a way that reminds him just a tad too much of some parts of the slums. Because of that he wonders just want might be lurking underneath the glitz. Then again it could also just be him.

That he sees Rufus here actually causes him to look surprised though only last a second or two before one red brow cocks up and that half grin forms. Reno wanders over, an unlit cigarette between his lips and paying a hell of a lot more attention to what's going on around them than he seems. ]


Yo' Boss.

[Now there was a face he was not expecting to see. What was the point in kidnapping him if they were going to bring the greatest tools he had at his disposal, the Turks, along for the ride?]

Well, this is a surprise.

[personal profile] reddirtydeeds 2012-10-25 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There does seem to be quite a few of them running around. Though knowing these people had managed to not only grab him, but Rufus, and Elena as well is troubling.

It would be anyway if he cared to think on it. ]


Can you believe this shit?

[personal profile] fearmongering 2012-10-25 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[That is all Rufus is thinking about. With so much going on back home, this is far from a minor inconvenience in their way.]

Still wrapping my mind around it. [The audacity of it all is surprising, even Rufus has to admire it.] Anything from your end?

[Reno might notice he is still wearing the bandages underneath his clothes, just barley peeking out from underneath his shirt. Any sign of Geostigma on his hands, however, is gone.]
reddirtydeeds: (seeme)

[personal profile] reddirtydeeds 2012-10-26 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Ran into Elena here and a bunch of people either wearing 'oh shit' expressions, or lookin' like they just hit the fuckin' jackpot.

[ Or the ones who are just screwing period. ]

Nobody seems to know much more n' what that freak in the counseling office said.

[ He noticed them before. Rufus seems to be in pretty good shape though. So for now he keeps his silence on it. ]

[personal profile] fearmongering 2012-10-26 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]
reddirtydeeds: (notimpressed)

[personal profile] reddirtydeeds 2012-10-26 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda gettin' the feeling most people just don't know. 'Least not past the basics. Maybe that's part of this chip thing? Keeps people from asking too many question n' pokin' their noses where the higher-ups don't want 'em.

[ As he spoke, Reno looks around; noted buildings and markers he hadn't seen before. Then his eyes swing back to Rufus with one brow cocked up in silent question. ]

Throw those out.

[He's cottoned on to the fact that the various colore beads seem like some sort of invitation to sexual exploits and that is the last thing Tseng needs Rufus to be dragged in to right now.]
