Test Drive Meme: The Overflow, Part Deux!
![]() 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. 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 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. | |

[Still wandering around and making observations, he still can't believe all of this is happening. The reality of it all is only starting to set in a tiny bit. He hopes that he'll get used to seeing such perversity going on around him over time so that he won't be left staring at people. Because that's what he's doing right now. Staring at a group of men having sex in public. They're taking part in a rendezvous consisting of double penetration, plus a dildo right there in the public eye.]
My goodness... That must hurt.
no subject
This bodes good for the person gesturing attention to a general audience it seems and though his eyes take a glance over, he's not quite sure if he's seen a male or a female. The voice is a little iffy at the frequency and to be honest the loud pile of men is a little overshadowing for anything that isn't a good firm sound.]
Probably not by now.
[He's just saying it as he looks back, unbothered by it from his seat on a bench not too far off where the other has been wandering.]
Besides the fact that the human body is capable of the stretch, they've been at this quite a while. I'm taking self bets on which one of them flops away first- want in?
no subject
Uhm... People actually bet on things like that here?
[Seriously? If so, he would have to jot that down in his notes too. There is so much to learn about this new location. So much that he can probably get away with compiling a book about the place and name it "The Beginners Guide To The City Of Ariel", when he's finished with it. It would certainly help new arrivals.]
no subject
I dunno, I'm bored so I figured I would. It's like people watching, only figuring out who's gonna give in first. Not much else to do here unless I'm bent and bound on getting laid or something.
[He let his head turn to give a more careful inspection, eyeing the other person. Seemed a little stuffy, really. Matt reaches into his pocket and pulls out his smokes and his lighter, opening the pack and offering them after taking one for himself.]
You new here then?
no subject
[Stuffy, yet not on purpose. He's not used to being in such an environment. He lifts and hand and smiles.]
Ah, no thank you. I don't smoke.
[A pause.]
Mm, yes, I am. Have you been here long?
no subject
Longer than I'd like to be. Not exactly fresh outta the factory, but not forever ago either.
[He eyes something that makes him grimace a bit from behind the upraised collar of his vest. It's obvious on his face but at the same time he's not convinced that's a human way to move someone's body.]
It was kinda hot until that move. Needs a girl or two in there, maybe. That'd redeem it.
[The natural course of conversation probably wouldn't be sexual if it weren't that he had no social mindset.]
This any close to normal where you come from?
no subject
[He looks in the said direction and blinks.]
Goodness....
[Not only does the scene before them cause a blush to rise in his cheeks again, but the question Matt asks.]
Oh, no. No, the only thing we have back home even remotely close is the casino and there's no public displays going on there. The women's outfits are like swimsuits, more or less.
[He glances down at the notebook he's holding.]
Though I'm not one to visit such places. I'm usually far too busy with my job to take any time off. Being the commanding officer of an entire military branch is after all a big responsibility. As well as being the personal assistant of the second prince of Britannia.
no subject
Yeah, same with back home. Girls in tiny outfits in the casino's. Sometimes on the streets.
[Sometimes the subject of his orders to stalk them. Misa was his favourite mission, ever. Hands down. Thank you, Mello. His eyes slide over from the loud pile and toward the new bench-mate maybe-man if he hits tones just right, but then there's that light airy moments that makes Matt unsure. Can't see his throat, can't check for Adam's apple.]
Jezuz Christ. I can't say I've ever met someone that high up before. Guys like me don't get the chance.
[He knows better, he knows that if he botches this up, even if Mello never talks to him again he'd find some cosmic reason to know Matt fucked up and kick him square in the balls.
His black-gloved hand reaches out toward the man. Test time. If he/she offers her/his hand to kiss, more than likely a girl. If to shake, more than likely a guy. Sort of stereotypical but he's relying on the cues.]
Name's Matt- Just Matt.
no subject
Kanon Maldini. It's nice to meet you.
[He slips his hand into Matt's. He doesn't shake it though and he doesn't linger for long either. When there's a ruckus going on a few feet away, some fight or rather, he retracts his hand and gazes toward what's going on.]
Oh... My.
[Kanon raises the same hand and twists a lock of hair around his index finger in an absent minded fashion. he doesn't even realize he's doing such a thing.]
no subject
Instantly, Matt's eyes move to that finger in his hair and a small, curious smile pulls onto his lips at the movement.]
Is it Officer Maldini?
[The question is simply to know his rank to address him properly, but he's speaking again to finish his point.]
Not to worry, I'm in a mindset to brawl if they get too close. Had a rough day.
Buncha morons in a scuffle isn't something I can't handle for you. Did you wanna go somewhere else? Maybe with a lesser pile of man bodies and at least away from the possible fight?
[That's interesting, though, a man in the military "oh my"'ing over a scuffle. He wonders why but doesn't voice it, not too keen on prying right yet.]
no subject
[The words are said in a very nonchalant manner, as though he were talking about something simple like a cup of tea of the daily paper.]
Going somewhere else would be nice. I-I mean if you don't mind that is.
