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!

Even if Kanon wasn't fumbling and fretting, as was his way, Schneizel would've been able to spot his assistant from miles off. Turning aside from the stand that had captured his attention, however fleetingly, the noble cracked a slight smile as Kanon apologized profusely for bumping into a complete stranger. The stranger hardly looked upset, of course, simply nodded and continued along, but poor Kanon was already red in the face, still stuttering a bit, and Schneizel couldn't help but laugh at the triviality of the situation.

He was also rather relieved Kanon was present; he could certainly survive without the man, this strange place fueled by sex and perverse desires, but better to have him than not, which was why he soon trotted up to Kanon from behind, surprised him with the gentle press of a glove to his cheek, followed by a low purr.

"Never far from my aside, are you, dearest Kanon? It's good to see you."

Indeed it was a surprise. Yes they were now in a city full of sin. No, it wasn't just full of sin. It was fueled by sin and not any sin. It was sex and with strangers no less. Being eased into the situation by the counselor helped quite a bit as did the conditioning, but still. These things were... Well sex was something people did in private, not public. And not with strangers.

Yet he was determined not to let that detour him from the obvious fact that if you wanted to survive and prosper in the city, certain measures had to be met. One had to indulge. He would not allow anything to get the best of him. He was already piecing together a carefully constructed strategy: Treat the situation as one would a game. A battle of wits.

When Schneizel touched him, he jumped slightly and turned to face him. "Your Highness." He was ever so grateful his superior was there with him because what good was a subordinate if they did not have their superior to follow? He gave a respectful bow, smiled, and made his best attempt to push certain thoughts into the furthest corners of his mind.

"It's good to see you as well."

A city full of sin, and yet Schneizel had no qualms about mulling around for awhile; certainly, he had issues that needed to be addressed at home, a mortal enemy to defeat (slay) and a world to lasso into order, stability, and a law, but a diversion wasn't such a bad idea. And unlike some other recent arrivals, Schneizel was hardly bothered by the mood, the setting, the fact that even now as he spoke to Kanon there were groups of people copulating behind no. No, no, live and let live, let men submit to their truest natures.

This was a world he could very much respect.

Schneizel chuckled at Kanon's ever standard greeting of Your Highness, not allowing his hand to drop quite yet. Smoothing it around the fine, beautiful contours of his face, down to his chin, tilting up so they could chat eye-to-eye and speaking with clear affection for his favored aide.

"And you are as well as ever. Come, shall we speak for awhile? Privately, away from all this noise? I'm interested to hear your observations thusfar."

The physical attention caused the thoughts he was trying his best to keep at bay, come round at full force. Lewd, obscene, and downright sadistic. The said thoughts caused a light shade of pink to tint his cheeks, although he was trying to keep that neutral air about himself. All thanks to that little microchip. He hoped the blasted thing was not giving off information as to what the thoughts were. Oh he hoped.

"Yes, Sir. I would appreciate a more private setting." He of course waited for Schneizel to set out so he could follow. Always so obedient and loyal, like a puppy who wanted nothing more than to be by his master's side.

It wasn't, but even without said information, Schneizel could tell Kanon was uncomfortable, his smile turning several shades darker as a result. Though Kanon put on an admirable air of poise to the public (except for just now, apparently), Schneizel could see through him as if he were transparent. Around his beloved superior, he was always easily readable, perhaps more so than anyone else, as his dedication and devotion to the noble was clear.

Not that Schneizel minded the attention. He wasn't one to be doted on, but he was well-accustomed to the spotlight. And for such a handsome creature to take notice of him was heavenly in itself.

"I wonder why that is," Schneizel teased before pulling back, then gesturing for Kanon to follow his slow, if confident strides. "Let us be on our way. Please fill me in on any trifling details as we go, we've much to discuss and little time to do it."

If he knew he was so readable, he probably would have been trying a bit harder to conceal things. Though it wouldn't have helped any at all.

"Trifling details..." trifling details? Well, there were a ton of details, yet trifling was not the correct word for them. He adjusted his cap as he followed his superior. The last comment he said to Kanon made him blush even more and while he walked with Schneizel, those thoughts began to hit him like a ton of bricks.

Release your inhibitions. You will in the end anyways. This is your new life. It felt like someone was actually whispering into his ear, taunting him.

"That's... That's absurd." He blurted out before he could even realize.

Edited 2012-10-27 03:54 (UTC)

Wouldn't have helped, as Schneizel was a mastermind in more ways than one, reading, scheming, planning, plotting. Poor Kanon, so oblivious, perhaps purposely so; he'd tasted Schneizel's whip once, but he hadn't seen him at his absolute worst, not yet, the events that had yet to come to pass.

But he would, eventually. And then...

Heh.

The sudden remark on absurdity caused Schneizel to pause midstep, turn to regard his subordinate with faintly lifted eyebrows. The entire nature of the place was arguably absurd, yes, but he had a feeling that wasn't that Kanon was referring to.

"Absurd?" he repeated, not baffled, per se, but curious. "Expand, if you wouldn't mind. What exactly is absurd?"

He didn't mind that whip. Perhaps back then at the time, he actually wanted to push Schneizel to see just how far he would go to show him who held authority? Maybe he antagonized him on purpose?

Pushing his buttons and was defiant because he wanted to see if the prince was all talk or not. Who knew what was going through Maldini's head at the time, really. What was certain however, from the very moment he saw Schneizel, he admired him. Kanon wanted him to pay attention. Drastic times called for drastic measures, or so the saying goes.

Kanon blinked at the question. Schneizel heard that? He heard it. Oh goodness. He made his best attempt not to seem so flustered and quickly tried to cover up his mistake.

"Ah, well..." He rubbed the back of his neck with a hand. He could lie and tell him that he was simply trying to adjust to the city, but lying to his superior, no he couldn't do that. he hadn't lied to him in the past and wasn't about to start now. "These microchips they fitted us with are a bit troublesome." He explained and shrugged his shoulders a bit.
