Test Drive Meme: The Overflow, Part Deux!

[arielmods]

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: <small>(<a href="THREAD URL HERE">Continued from here.</a>) between <user name="CHARACTER 1"> & <user name="CHARACTER 2"></small> Response here! 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!	USEFUL LINKS: [Premise] [Rules] [F.A.Q.] [Locations] [Local Citizens (NPC)] [Taken] [Wanted] [Reserves] [Application] [Main] [Logs] [OOC]

It's not like he hasn't head a lot of this before, right? Or, well, most of it. It's not like his brother ever had nice things to say, ever. Or so Heck feels. Still, he wont let up on this one, not yet. Even if the man just got closer on him like that. God, it took a LOT not to back up, but the flinch was there.

"As grateful as I am that you're showing such restraint from skinning me, I still want to make sure you aren't going to completely up and ruin my life, again!"

He had a point in all this. Really.

[americanpie]

He's going to get right up and in your face. So close that you'll be able to feel his breath right there on you, Heck.

"Yeah? What ya gonna do 'bout it, fuckwit?"

[heckofacloser]

Oh god, trying so hard not to back off like a scared little bitch right now...

Trying VERY HARD damn it. But his words caught in his throat and he did step back. "I..." Damn it. He raised both brows, took a breath and tried again. "Look. This isn't home. We don't have a cursed name here. I just... want to keep it that way. I don't want you going about killing who ever I talk to just because I shot your car and nearly killed you!" That... was nearly, right? Because clearly you are walking! And... well, that IS weird because he was pretty sure you were dead but then Heck showed up here and now he's not sure what reality is.

Oh god, maybe he was going insane and this was ALL in his head.

If so, then damn it WHY would he dream up CHICK of all people.

[americanpie]

"Stay outta my way, fuckstick. Got it? Stay outta my way, and nothin' will happen."

Man, why did his little brother have to be such a buzzkill? Chick was loving this place before he showed up. Now? He was certain Heck was going to stick to him like fucking glue.

He's going to turn and head on off again. Maybe that threat will be enough to scare the bitch off.

[heckofacloser]

It was frustrating but he knew better then to chase after an angry wolf. As Chick started off again he growled back, after him.

"Just don't do something stupid again and I won't bother you. Ever. Got it? Don't drag me into your shit this time! It's not like I want to be your brother!" That was mean. He didn't mean that, but the damn fool pissed him off and he was SURE some how something Chick did here would reflect on HIM as well.

He'll let him walk off, because he doesn't want to deal with this... and yet he does.

[americanpie]

Unlucky for you that what you just said makes Chick stop and turn. He only got a few steps away, so he makes a show of raising his hands, intentionally, to try and make Heck flinch.

"I don't do stupid shit. And the feeling is fucking mutual. I don't want a whiny, clingy bastard like you for a brother."

[heckofacloser]

And he flinched, drawing back a step as he brother rounded slow like that. God he hated when he did that. But he barked back, none he less, in the middle of a street somewhere in a world that isn't theirs.

"You... you don't DO stupid things?! Bullshit! What about my Latin camp?! Or when you tried to have Dori killed so you wouldn't lose her? To ME by the way! Or singing down the hall to your execution? Yeah, don't think I didn't hear about that. And all this was just in recent years! You have a whole list of stupid acts I can name!"

And an indignant noise... "And I'm not clingy!"

[americanpie]

And Chick is quickly advancing back on his brother. "I wouldn't have done half those things if you weren't such a huge pain in my ass. You've always been jealous that momma loved me the most, and still does, might I add."

Chick looks pissed off. Majorly so. "And you are clingy! I remember you huggin' my legs on the first day of school 'cause you were scared!"

[heckofacloser]

He'd be worried or scared if he wasn't so annoyed by what was being said! He looked indignant now. "Oh you can't blame this on me! Take responsibility for your own actions already! And... And that's a flat out lie. Momma doesn't love you any more then me!" Which in the end is one of his button triggers, Chick, and you just pressed it, hard. Because he doesn't sound like he's sure of himself in that last statement.

"And I was five! I think I'm allowed to be a little clingy when I was five!"

[americanpie]

Chick gets right back up to Heck. "You've always been a whiny, gay-ass bitch, who's always been sniffin' after my ass and wantin' what I have."

A finger gets jabbed into Heck's chest. "You've always been so full of your damn self, boy. It's a wonder anyone likes you at all."

[heckofacloser]

"You've always stolen what I wanted!" he shot back in outrage, only, as the jab came in to his chest he threw a hand out to shove Chick's chest. This was going to end up being a slap fight soon, wasn't it? Those were never good. This time there were no bars or a Warden to stop it either. "Shut up! No one likes me because I'm a Prigusivac! they all think i'm going to murder them in their sleep!"

[americanpie]

Chick takes the shove, not shifting him back any, but he continues. "Aw, for... How many times have I gotta tell you, assnuts. Murder's in our blood!" And a more forceful shove back.

"If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em. Don't matter what excuse you use, you're a cold-blooded killer, little bro. Just like me."

[heckofacloser]

His hand flared out, shoving at the shoving hands, as if he could block it or make it stop. He stepped back again, ready for another blow if he needed to be.

"Shut up, Chick! It's not genetic!" He said, nearly in a yell. "I'm nothing like you, and you know it. I'm not a murder! I already proved that when I didn't take that shot to your head like I should have!"

[americanpie]

"So you've got a thing for tyin' guys down to watch them squirm. Ya still killed two people in cold blood, assnuts!"

Another shove. "It's our genetic defect." And another. "So stop bein' a whiny little bitch, let me get on with my life. Away from you."

[heckofacloser]

You are pushing all the buttons right now, brother. At the shoves he stumbles back a few more times, but then leans forward shoving back, in annoyance.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" He growled back. "You're a genetic defect! I don't want you in my life so why would I want to be in yours! Just keep the hell away from me and I'll stay away from you. Don't so anything that's going to fall back on me though, because it always rolls down hill to me!"

[americanpie]

Aw, precious. Little bro's getting pissed off. Chick's a bit beyond that, though. Heck's getting a punch to the chest this time.

"I would if you would stop ya damn yapping and let me fuckin' leave!"

[heckofacloser]

He took the punch pretty well, but gasped and stumbled back because of it. And yes, he's annoyed. He sprung back with a harder shove, of both hands.

"Then GO already! I was the only dropping this! You came back to me, big brother. So walk off already!"

[americanpie]

And there goes another punch for Heck's stomach. "Fine. I'm gone."

And he turns to leave, yet again.

[heckofacloser]

And Heck takes a hit to the gut, folding him over, arms wrapped around his belly and giving a wheeze at first. Fuck, he hated that move. And he should know by now the guy goes for the gut often enough. He dropped to a knee at that, gritting his teeth long enough to take the wave of the hit.

As Chick walked away he would feel something hit him in the back. Heck had grabbed the first thing off the ground and chucked it at Chick. Just a bit of street rubble.

[americanpie]

And Chick stops dead as that. He looks down at the rubble, and then over his shoulder at Heck.

"Bad move, fuckstick." He growls, before he spins on his heel and makes to grab for his little brother.

[heckofacloser]

He was crouched there, coughing a bit, before his brow raised and---oh shit. Why did he do that? Why did he always push it one step too far? For shits sake, he could have let him go!

Heck scrambled to his feet the moment Chick turned on his heel. He was darting back and moving to make a run for it. No one actually scared him other then Chick. What the hell was he thinking?

[americanpie]

"GET BACK HERE, YA LITTLE SHIT!! I'M GONNA POUND YA INTO THE DIRT!"

Chick yells this as he gives chase, trying to grab Heck by the collar, or trip him up.

[heckofacloser]

Oh thank god he was a good runner. He scrambled off, trying to dodge or get away, though he did nearly run into someone, and as he stumbled he felt his shirt grabbed.

Fear does wonders for a person. Watch as he actually attempts to worm his way OUT of the shirt, that much of a need to get away from his own beating.

[americanpie]

Nope. You're getting dragged into an alleyway and slammed into a wall. Chick has his arm across Heck's throat as he does this, glaring, looking... well... murderous.

"Don't you ever try that shit with me, assnuts. I will kill you."

[heckofacloser]

The best he did was nearly choke himself while trying to get out of his shirt. Crap. He coughed, being dragged away and--oof! Hits a wall, hard. While his head swims he felt the arm across his throat, blinking to look down at his brother holding him there.

He coughed, taking a moment to gasp for breath. "C-Chic-" He choked out, hands grabbing for the arm at his throat to pull at it. "Lemmego..."
