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!

I just noticed my typo up there /facepalm

[Missed it by a mile and a half.]

Huh? Oh, no. No he doesn't.

[He places the pen into the pocket of his coat and rubs the back of his neck slightly.]

The only time when he really did was years back. I had been rather rebellious, so he had to use a whip. Not that I didn't deserve it though. I was acting pretty disobedient.
abelladonna: (there's a darkness deep inside)

it's only a tiny one! ...I mean.

[personal profile] abelladonna 2012-10-28 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[he's charming in his sheer cluelessness. Ivy's starting to find it hard to believe that anyone can be this naive - and now he's talking about whips, and punishment, and...hm.]

What did you do?
publicandprivate: sinspire (this isn't good)

/keels over

[personal profile] publicandprivate 2012-10-28 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[And that's when the blush tints his cheeks all over again. His eyes hit the floor. It's kinda embarrassing to talk about such times. Especially since how he acted was uncalled for.]

I disobeyed an order and was quite rude. So he took the measures that he saw fit.

[A pause. He looks up.]

But that doesn't mean he's a bad person though. He's kind, intelligent, and a brilliant strategist. I owe him a lot, actually.
abelladonna: (I've got another confession to make)

8D

You sound...fond of him. You must be very close.

[look at that blush! And look at the way his eyelashes frame his eyes, and the sharp lines of his cheekbones. Yes, a very pretty boy, and one Ivy's starting to think she can see a use for.

Her expression is open and interested - deliberately so. His words aren't that important, but oh, how easy it is to convince him they are.]
publicandprivate: mine (someday I'll be taller. yeeeah. no.)

[personal profile] publicandprivate 2012-10-28 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, we are.

[Hopefully that doesn't sound bad. Perhaps he should have said they are on a platonic level?

He's oblivious to her true nature. Kanon regards Ivy as nice and will think so until something happens to change his mind.]

He took me under his wing and changed my life for the better.

[He also screwed with lives of others by dropping nuclear warheads onto them! But Kanon won't mention that. Nope. Because he doesn't see Schneizel as a cold blooded killer like so many others do. He has nothing but the utmost respect for him.]

[personal profile] abelladonna 2012-10-28 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
How sweet.

[How lucky for you. For just a moment her lips compress - some people have far too much luck. But it's a mere blip.]

And is he here too?
publicandprivate: parle (ah very well then)

[personal profile] publicandprivate 2012-10-29 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Before Kanon met Schneizel, he was the focal point of many people's hatred. An outcast and regarded as a freak because of how he lived his life and presented himself. His parents wanted nothing to do with him either, so they sent him off to the military academy.

It's a wonder the earl didn't have a mental breakdown because of such psychological trauma.]

Not yet. Though if he does arrive, I'd be happy to introduce you to him, if you'd like.

[As he glances to the side, his eyes settle upon a something that instantly catches his attention. To many, it would just be regarded a flower that most wouldn't even give a second look at. They would pass by it and not give any thought at all.

He kneels down beside it, wide eyed.]

Middlemist Camellia. I saw a painting of this when I visited the Vermillion City in China. But... They're supposed to be extinct.
abelladonna: (I can love you more than they hate)

[personal profile] abelladonna 2012-10-29 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh now, that's two of them instantly enraptured. Even the sight of a pretty boy on his knees isn't enough to distract Ivy from this revelation.]

Almost. Only two in the world...

[And she's kneeling down beside him, gently touching one of the glossy leaves.]

It's just a baby. How did it get here?
