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!

[Those were probably clever instincts, and a good thing to listen to, but Luxord wasn't about to tell him that. No, he wanted to play his game, wanted to get his satisfaction, and Haku would have to play for that to work. Luxord swept his hands aside as he waited for him to choose, grinning internally beneath his hood because there was only a one-in-three chance he'd actually get it right.]

You accuse me of cheating? Perish the thought.

[The odds weren't in his favor. Luxord flipped up the right cup and there was no bead beneath it. He promptly tipped up the left one, revealing the glittering green jewel.]

Perhaps your eyes aren't as keen as you thought. A shame, but you'll have to part with an article of clothing.

[There was absolutely no way that could have been possible. A frown crosses his features, hand moving to grip his chin lightly in thought as he examines the cups again. Running the process through his mind once more he comes up with the same answer, unsure of how exactly he could have messed that particular pattern up.

Though he was brought out of his thinking at his last words, raising a brow at him. Well, he did foolishly make the bet, slowly he undoes his obi and removes his yukata to drape over an arm. Luckily for him he still had his turtleneck and pants still.]

A deal's a deal, no? Though I could have sworn my eye far more accurate than anyone else's.

[Good luck trying to figure it out. One important part of being an excellent gambler was knowing how to cheat, and how you were being cheated, and the boy didn't seem to have the knack. A shame, but Luxord wasn't above capitalizing on an easy mark. He splayed his hands out again and watched with a smug grin as that outer layer of clothing was discarded. Now, could he win more?]

Perhaps I'm just too good. You're free to try again, if you like. The same deal, of course.

[And he placed the cup over the bead again, lazily swishing them back and forth, showing the bead yet again partway through to prove that he wasn't cheating at all - except when it mattered, of course.]

Are you brave enough, or shall you have your fun elsewhere?

[That little voice in the back of his head screaming to stop? Being completely ignored in this case, particularly considering this is going to drive him up a wall until he figures out what the trick to all of this was. Thus he returns to his normal stature, a challenging little smirk replacing the confusion.]

By all means, there are always other ways to get clothing if I lose again, of course. Nor does this place seem to frown on you if you do not have anything.

[A light shrug, not that he particularly wants to go back to his apartment naked or anything, but he just could not resist. Even if the idea of being propositioned constantly by people in the city on his way back would be the most obnoxious thing he could possibly think of at the time.]

It would be appreciated, however, if I did not have to go back by myself if my luck runs sour.

[That smirk was encouraging. This one was brave, then, was he? That suited Luxord just fine. It would make sure that he was plenty entertained this evening, maybe more than he had even counted on. He let out a little chuckle at what the boy said, nodding beneath his hood.]

You're right on that one. Well, if you feel so confident.

[He paused when Haku made that request, smiling to himself as he mulled it over. Was he reading that right? He usually was so adept at reading people, and the implication seemed clear. As he started to spin the cups in circles, switching them back and forth, playing out the same game all over again, he gave his answer, making sure to switch the bead just when Haku would least expect it. Finally he stropped, drawing his hands back from the cups again.]

I think that I can arrange a little company for you. Now, choose.

[He certainly had no reason not to be brave, he'd already faced death and as far as he was concerned nothing could be scarier than that. Even this place with the threat of possibly being taken by someone forcefully or being taken advantage of didn't bother him in the least. Sure, the ideas were a bit of a bother, but those things could always be handled if it came down to it.

To be fair, he hadn't really put the implication there just yet. Mainly as a method of figuring out how far things might possibly go if he accepted his request. It could be absolutely innocent or it could be something far from innocent, it all depended on how the situation went and how Luxord wished to play it.

Confirmation of his company pulled a light smile to his features, particularly quick in motioning to one of the cups again. This one he knew wouldn't have the bead in it, his mind was wandering to other things than keeping his clothing.]

That one. Though I admit with company I am not particularly worried about losing anything, now.

[Whether the boy knew it yet or not, though, Luxord preferred things far from innocent. If he wanted company to escort him naked back home, he was going to have to face everything that came after. Luxord would be happy to keep him safe, and keep him untouched, but he wouldn't do it without a reward at the end of the trip. And if he had to ply that reward with a little more trickery, a little more manipulation, well. That was all part of the game.]

Oh aren't you? And you haven't even seen my face to know your escort.

[He flipped up the cup that Haku pointed at, and sure enough, there was no bead beneath it. The middle on held it, this time, and Luxord revealed it to him to continue to hide his trickery. Not that it mattered, apparently, if the boy was so readily willing to shed his clothes. That almost took the fun away. But only almost.]

The sweater next, I think. And I'll tell you what. You win this time, I drop the hood. You loose, I get you bare. Sound a fair enough trade?
