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!

Well, that was considerably easier than Dean expected. Not one question about his sanity or possible drug use... how refreshing. Dean kind of liked this guy. "Yeah, seriously. I don't even know the meaning of the word 'vacation'."

"I do. 'Vacation - something you can indulge in when you're six feet under. Maybe." He grinned, taking another drag before he laughed softly. "Not much in the ways of vacations when you've got four hundred pounds of shifter trying to rip your throat out."

"Story of my life. And fuck shifters, man, seriously." Dean scowled a little and shook his head. "Can't be bothered to kill on a predictable schedule like a werewolf, oh no. They've gotta be difficult."

"Werewolves have schedules where you come from? Man, I wish that were the case. Jesus. Save on a shitload of manpower. Of course, then there's the rest of them..."

"Full moons, man. We're lucky for that. It's about the only thing we're lucky about." Little else followed a clear pattern like that.

Dean shifted over on the bench to make room and waved Jake closer. "Have a seat? I don't bite unless I'm asked to."

He took a last drag and stepped out the butt, moving to take the proffered seat with a grin. "I suppose I'll have to be careful I don't ask then, huh?" Settling, he looked over at his new seatmate. "Guess we come from pretty similar places, I'd gather."

"Shame. I'm good at it." Dean waggled his eyebrows and settled back comfortably. He nodded at the question. It did sound similar, except this guy seemed to come from a place that had an actual police force for monsters. Lucky bastard. "I take it you don't have to sneak around to do your hunting, though?"

"Sneak? Nah, we get called in my citizens. And it's less hunting and more... policing. We don't generally have to terminate most of our calls." He grinned at the eyebrow waggle, head shaking slightly in amusement.

"Must be nice. Where I come from, nobody even believes they're real. I get shit for digging up graves to get rid of nasty ghosts." Among other charges. Dean actually had a pretty big rap sheet by now. It was a point of pride, as well as completely freaking annoying.

"Oh, people are aware, all right. We get the stupid little groups of wannabes that go and piss of the real ones. Those can be messy." Emoteens were always going to be emoteens, no matter the universe.

"Civilians," Dean muttered and shook his head. He'd had similar problems. It never ended well. "You work alone?"

"Mm? Nah. Most of the big cities have one SU attached to deal with the supes. Special ammo, special licences and all that. Most of us are ex-military."

"Nice. Back home, it's just me and my brother. We learned from military, though. Our old man was a Marine." Right down to the bone. John Winchester had a drill sergeant's soul.

"Oorah," Jake said with a small half-salute. "At least you've got someone to watch your back. Never a bad thing, man."

"Nah, it's good. I rag on the kid, but he's good at what we do." Usually. Things had been a little off lately, but he supposed that happened when one's brother came back from a stint in Hell.

He stretched and glanced back at the crowd. There was no sign of the festival slowing down anytime soon. "So, you haven't even been tempted yet, huh?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong, it's been interesting to watch, but..." He felt a little weird just going at it in public. Maybe it was just him, but he preferred things to happen in dark corners or between the sheets. It gave it a little more personality, a little privacy. He'd kinda feel like he was setting himself up to be judged and voted on or something.

"I don't think it's all out in the open like this. I've been to an apartment and there are hotels." Then again, it was possible Jake would just rather watch. No problem with that.

"I haven't gone to my squat yet. What're they like?" He was curious where he'd be bunking for the foreseeable future. No, he wasn't just into watching, though there was some pleasure derived there.

"Pretty plain. Small. Not terrible, though. I've been in way worse places." Recently, too. As long as there was nothing alive or dead inside the bed mattress and there was hot water in the shower, he was happy. "Where's yours? I'm in building one."

"I'm in two. Guess all us newbies have pretty much the same layout, huh?" Considering he'd slept on a pallet of sand and scrub brush as bedding before, he was happy with anything resembling a mattress.

"From what I've seen, yeah. Pretty basic. It beats the hell out of the motels I've been living out of, though."

He shifted in his seat to face Jake a little more directly. "You're taking this pretty well. I've seen a bunch of people climbing the figurative walls trying to find a way out. You okay with your captivity?"

He shook his head, smiling. "No, not really. The idea that I've been taken from my home and shoved in here with the intention of... what, exactly? Breeding? Entertainment? It doesn't exactly sit right with me. But foaming at the mouth isn't going to get me anywhere either. If I'm going to figure this out, I need a cool head for it."

"Good philosophy." Dean tried, but he didn't really have a lot of patience for freak-outs. The kind and caring approach was more Sam's thing. "Got a plan?"

At this point, Dean wasn't entirely sure he wanted out, but it never hurt to have options.

"Not yet, no." And god, did it hurt to admit that. "I'm kind of just going along with it now until I can't, you know? Like if they want me to do something I just can't do."
