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!

[Once it seems as though the younger teen has collected himself, Mello lets go and takes a step back, not looking to prolong contact unnecessarily. He does, however, study his face as he listens.]

It sounds like they screwed up.

[As far as he is concerned, this is yet another reason to dislike this city — and another reason to question the motives behind the people in charge. If they have the technology to do this — bring people from different worlds, maybe even from the dead, and install chips in their brains — they should have the technology to make sure people do not suffer. Either they are skimping on the healing portion of their jobs, or they do not care.

He turns, then, eyes on the crowd instead of on Haku. It may give the impression that he isn't paying close attention to what is being said, but he is — he's listening very closely. And it occurs to him that he and this kid are not so different after all.

He doesn't know the details, but the similarities at there — Mello, too, is without parents and without a family, and he, too, was nothing until something gave him a purpose. Of course, the similarities end there — Mello became obsessed with achieving his goal and becoming number one, not with serving another, but he can understand having nothing, and the position that puts a person in. He understands the need for a purpose.]

I don't have anything. No parents, no family. [Not even Wammy's, because Mello turned his back on the home for good.]

But that's why I provide for myself, and no one else.

[He turns around and looks at Haku again.]

People follow me. I don't follow them.

[Mello gives the orders; he doesn't take them.]
