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!

He snickered at that. Such a prude, Sam. Or, well, maybe not. Kid did have a lot of beads on him. "You're just jealous. And I can totally walk just fine."

Never mind the wobbling. Damn sidewalk. This planet had weird gravity, okay?

"Jealous of what? Not like people haven't been interested in me too, Dean." He'd gotten plenty of offers, a lot of people flirting with him, and some of it had went beyond that for sure.

He rolled his eyes and put his hand on Dean's shoulder to keep him steady. Sure, it was just this place...

"People just like me, dude. I can't help it. It's gotta be the awesome. They can spot the awesome from a mile away." He let Sam hold onto his shoulder. It was helpful, even if he wasn't going to admit that. He started to hum as they walked along. Up ahead, he saw what looked like an apartment building. "Home sweet home, Sammy!"

"Uh-huh." Well, definitely plus seeing Dean in something resembling a good mood. Hadn't exactly been like that before they got pulled here... but then again, Dean was pretty smashed right now.

First on the agenda was steering Dean towards his door. "Man, I don't know about you, but getting to kick back awhile sounds nice. Been a busy day."

Dean was in a fantastic mood. Especially for having been kidnapped. All things considered, it could be worse.

"Hell yeah. You think they have cable? Bet it's all skin flicks." Porno world, Sammy. Good luck finding that boring Discovery Channel shit you like to watch.

"Dude, focus here," he grumbled. They were</i. kidnapped and Sam hadn't forgotten that fact. When they got inside, Sam led him to the fourth door. "Alright, c'mon, let's get you inside, Dean."

Dean fished the key out again and took a moment to get it into the lock and opened the door. Huh. Small, but it was a hell of a lot nicer and cleaner than he was used to. "Not bad, huh? Bet yours has clown wall paper."

"Dude, they're all the same, you know?" And yeah, they were pretty nice and clean. Nothing to really complain about really. He stepped in, looking around... similar to the unit he had. Home.

He was quiet a few moments, just watching Dean get settled. "So, you're not even worried? About being stuck here?"

"Whatever you say, Pennywise." Dean cackled and flopped down on the couch, peering up at Sam.

"Why? I mean... you're here and safe. We've got a place to stay, nothing's trying to kill us yet, and dude... I just got out of Hell. I'm okay with taking a breather."

This might be Dean's place, but Sam still invited himself to settle on the couch, giving Dean a nudge to get him to make a little room. He might have considered crashing for the night or something, but...

He doubted his nerves would let him yet. His mind was racing, he was on edge a little still.

And Dean got him to pause anyway. "Just got out?" There was a note of genuine confusion there, brows pinching together. No way you looked at it had Dean 'just got out' of Hell. "This sounds like more than just a breather, Dean... this sounds more like early retirement."

Dean snorted at the nudge, but he moved over to let his gigantor brother sit down. That mean Sam got half sprawled on when he settled, but hey.. it was Dean's couch!

"Yeah, Sam. Just. Well, I mean, a couple months, but considering how long I was down, it's kind of a short span." Why was Sam looking at him like that? "Dude, how much did you drink?"

Yeah, but that didn't mean Sam was a cushion just because he wanted to sit down! He's too focused on other crap to worry about bitching though.

And if Dean was looking for Sam to not give him weird looks, this wasn't the way. He frowned, brows still pinched together in confusion and worry. Couple of months? Definitely well over that now. The question snapped him back to attention though. "I'm starting to think not enough."

Shit. Exactly what did Dean remember?

"If this is my place, it's probably got booze somewhere," Dean offered. He wasn't sure what Sam's problem was, but if it could be solved by booze -- and what couldn't? -- then by all means. He should have some.

"Seriously, dude. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing," he answered, maybe a little too quick. Honestly, this was not the time to get into it. Dean was drunk, he wasn't exactly sober either... and then there was this whole damn city thing. They needed to let that settle in or something first.

He shook his head and let out a sigh, looking over at Dean. "Just been a long day, I guess."

Yeah, that wasn't very convincing, but Dean wasn't going to push. The last thing he wanted to do was talk about their feelings or whatever. He was happy to just relax a while and take a moment to breathe without worrying something was going to come crashing down on their heads.

"You ready to crash, Sammy?"

"Yeah... maybe." He wasn't really sleepy, but he should probably rest. He looked over at Dean.

"Tell me you can at least make it to bed, dude."

Dean elbowed him. "Don't insult me. Of course I can make it to bed."

Even if it took him a minute to remember if he was in his own apartment or not. "I'm just comfortable here."

"Right." He doubted that from the looks of it. He sighs and nudges at Dean's side. "You know, if you want me to leave, you'll have to quit using me as part of the furniture."

"Anybody ever told you that you're picky?" Dean complained and grunted as he pushed himself up and sat up straight on the couch. There! See? Movement! He flashed Sam a triumphant look. "who's not moving now, Sammy?"

"How am I picky?" It was a valid complaint! He can't move if Dean's leaning against him... unless Dean wants to fall flat on his back. When Dean's up though, he gets to his feet and shakes his head.

"I'm up, man." After so many years on the road, kind of weird to be heading to the door right now to go to his own room. Weird, but not exactly bad. "Guess this is good night, man. And, uh, don't disappear again. I'm not hunting you down."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be here. Bring coffee." Sam better know that when Dean says 'morning' he means after ten. Otherwise, there may be a battle before the battle.

"Night, dude."

"Yeah, see you, Dean." He let himself out and headed down the way to his own room. Thankfully, not a long walk. Sam had too much to drink, himself, and collapsing right now sounded good.

They'd definitely need coffee tomorrow.
