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!

Hibari sighed, of course his answer would be as simple as that. He did not understand the exact situation he was in. Attracting would be one thing, not engaging in sex enough would be another. A re-education was not something a man like Hibari Kyouya was going to submit to easily.

The constant brainwashing was something he could not avoid but he could certainly fight against it.

And fight he did, though of course it would be futile in the end.

"You have to have sex, they aren't looking for you to simply lose your virginity. It is a place of depravity." Meaning Takeshi, you will have to face things that even some adults may find squeamish, none of them as simple as fighting someone. "You're being brainwashed to do these things but it does not mean you will now how. You're too young." And innocent, very innocent, Hibari nearly shook his head, it was this place, he would swear it and he bit back the thought from his mind immediately. Lesson would need to be taught, certainly his need to incite discipline was something this place would manipulate, he was no fool, but he was not going to go easy, not yet.

Yamamoto had had what was expected of him brought up by the man at the desk when he'd asked about where he was and why. He may be innocent and naive, but he is far from dumb. He already knows that he's supposed to have sex and that there are people with many different preferences inside the city. He doesn't think that he should be one of them, however.

"Hehe. Yeah, maybe I'll get the hang of it!" He says cheerfully, but he's far from serious. In reality, he's actually quite nervous. Yamamoto already knows that he has to be responsible for his partner if he ever has one. Sex may be kind of a requirement here, but he doesn't plan on thinking so little of it that it's something he'll do in passing. He expects it to be something meaningful, with someone he likes.

"You had better, the things people will do to a boy your age here are not going to be what you see in porn videos." Blunt, to the point, from Hibari's understanding this place was about letting the natural instincts go, what society would normally not condone, what discipline usually kept in check would no longer have a reign.

"You may find yourself at the mercy of a twisted individual." If they were going this far, then certainly they would come up with some way to 'encourage' them all into sex that came outside of feelings.

Hibari himself had not even considered the aspect of feelings, he would survive, he would fight and if he could help it, he would do all of this on his terms. Even if some of the control had already been taken.

"That chip in your head will see to it."

Yamamoto laughs at that. How would Hibari have any idea what kind of porn videos he's seen. When he thinks about it, sure, the videos were pretty tame, but for all the Cloud knows, he could actually be pretty kinky! The thought alone has him grinning brightly and he shakes his head.

"Thanks for the warning, Hibari!" The Cloud may not think of himself being helpful, but Yamamoto appreciates the effort. "Haha! Maybe someone else will be at my mercy," he jokes and waves as he turns to leave.

It was the naive, bright grin that told Hibari he was right, that and he had know Takeshi longer than this version of the boy knew him.

Those words made Hibari scoff "You're going to be eaten alive." Except, he could not let that happen.

"What will you do when they awaken things you are too young to understand?"

Yamamoto scratches his neck and looks away at that question.

"Follow my instincts."

They've never lead him wrong before, unless you count that one time with Kaoru, but he doesn't really regret what he'd done but more low he'd kept his guard.

"You're not giving me much credit, huh?" He smiles and drops his hands, "I don't blame you. I may not have a lot of experience, but that doesn't mean I don't understand. He's not as simple as he seems, and he thinks that Hibari knows that. All he needs is a chance to prove himself.

Hibari was a hard man, credit from his was hard earned, it had taken their boss nearly ten years to gain any from his Cloud Guardian, Hibari knew Takeshi was strong and a survivor.

But this was an entirely different playing field, even for him as an adult and some part of him felt his warning was not getting through the young man's head.

He took a step closer, ran a look over Takeshi and then just sighed "Just don't get yourself killed by some sicko with a penchant for the bizarre."

Because instincts were exactly what Hibari intended to follow, his were of another nature than most though so how well this would work out remained to be seen.

Yamamoto's eyes sharpen and he nods, "I'll try not to. Gotta stick around in case Tsuna shows up, after all! Haha! Thanks, Hibari-san!" And he nudges the Cloud Guardian in the side with his elbow playfully in passing.

"Hibari is much more perverted than I thought," He muses in a thoughtful, purposeful tone. Yamamoto would be lying if he said he weren't curious about the reasons behind this quiet man giving him advice and sounding like he cares, when he knows that isn't usually the case.

That was the look Hibari had thought necessary, the one that hid so well beneath the smile and derpy demeanor. It was like with the rings, Hibari had his reasons for what he did. The same as his fighting for the Vongola, yet never truly 'belonging' to the family. His attribute was fitting.

Solitary he remained on the fringes of the main family, there when needed but seeming only to tolerate the group as a whole. It could not be said Hibari cared for anyone, though he had those points which showed some beneath the truth of who he was, nothing that would mark him as a friendly man by any means.

His eyes hardened when he felt the elbow,the gaze snapped to the ball player as the other mused.

Rather it's his words or actions or all combined Hibari moved in, took his chin between forefinger and thumb and gave him a look that could only be labeled as intense.

"You have no idea." He was a man who had always seemed to come off intimidating, even as a boy and there was just a small hint of a smirk when the words left his lips and his hand let go of the other Guardian"s face.

Yamamoto isn't surprised with how quickly Hibari moves. It's impossible by now to assume that the other would be slow or unresponsive to a small dig like that. He'd been joking, but then, Hibari is a dangerous man and the strongest of their family under most circumstances. Yamamoto would honestly be more stunned if Hibari didn't move as quickly as he does.

It's the fact that he grabs his chin and seems to agree with him that stuns him. Yamamoto isn't sure what to do in the next second when Hibari drops his hand away and he chuckles, scratching at his neck. "I'm glad you're here, then."

More or less, he's glad he isn't alone. Hibari may not be friendly or have any real association with the family besides the ring he wears, but he's a familiar face to Yamamoto, and he finds comfort in that. It's small, but in a place like this, without his regular securities, even the Cloud Guardian feels like a part of home.

Hibari gave him a look, he was a persistent young man, harder to scare than the others. He could not imagine a young Tsuna standing up to what he had just did and not shaking with fear.

He scoffed, pivoted as if he were going to walk off, yet Hibari was a cold but not heartless man. He cast that steel gaze over his shoulder at the teenager.

"Let's move, people are starting to come." Facts were facts, they had to survive here, he could not leave a teenager to do that alone, considering what he had been told.

He would find his way to have his solitude, that was for certain but he would not just leave Takeshi standing here alone either.

Yamamoto intended to follow Hibari even if he hadn't invited him to. The cloud had been the first familiar face he'd ran into, and he didn't plan to let him walk away so easily.

"Haha! They'd probably turn back!" Not that Yamamoto was an intimidating young man by any stretch of the word, but Hibari exuded enough of an ominous atmosphere that it would keep people away for hours more to come.

Somehow Hibari did not doubt that he would find himself hard pressed to shake the ball player. It was less of a nuisance than Ryohei or one of the louder Guardians so he kept silent on it.

"I'd bite them to death if not." He said it flatly, no hint of doubt that is precisely what he would do at this point if someone got in his way as he kept a sharp eye on their surroundings, familiarizing himself with the strange area.

He was grateful for that, that he hadn't been pushed away yet. Yamamoto knows that most are unlucky to even share the same kind of conversation he's just had with the Cloud. It may be the circumstances surrounding them, but he has a feeling that it's also partly because of this older Hibari's maturity. There's a small bit of admiration in his eager, friendly gaze as he smiles up at the other man's back.

"Haha! And if they're into that kind of thing?" He's joking around, but he doesn't wish Hibari's bite on anyone. Ever.

He raised an eyebrow, pulled up short and cast that dark gaze over his shoulder once more. Then that smirk returned and without missing another beat.

"Hm, trying to say you're into that kind of thing are you." It was a jibe, teasing and for Hibari relatively harmless with as harsh as the man could be, at this moment, he would not be biting in any way someone would enjoy or at least he does not think so, of course, the world takes all kinds.

"Maybe I am!" Who knows? Yamamoto certainly doesn't. Getting bitten doesn't sound like fun, but who is he to knock something he's never tried before?

He wonders if Hibari has ever had anyone enjoy the whooping that the Cloud handed them. Certainly, most everyone under those tonfa deserved it, but were there any that derived a certain kind of pleasure. Something about the atmosphere of Ariel tells him that that is most certainly so, and he looks doubtfully at the Cloud before him.

Well, in fairness, Mukuro had enjoyed it, but it was not that type of enjoyment for either man, they enjoyed fighting, it was not a sexual tension or a physical need but the need to sate their bloodlust and prove their strength.

But that man was the farthest from Hibari's mind right now as he looked for a quiet place, that would not fill up and he could afford himself at least some semblance of privacy.

"Should I bite you and see then?" The dead pan look made it impossible to tell if he was serious or not.

There's a few seconds where he's unsure about Hibari, about whether he's kidding. Yamamoto just ends up laughing it off, because of course the other wouldn't waste his time biting if it didn't result in some kind of challenge or victory.

"Haha! Sure!" Yamamoto isn't welcoming it, but acting so flippant about it should help to convey that he doesn't want to become a chew-toy.

Hibari pivoted, he grabbed the younger man's wrist turned him and pushed him into a wall.

"That's where you'll get yourself hurt, what if I did, right here, right now." He looked down at Yamamoto, oh he still had some control, despite what that chip was feeding into his head.

But, how long would it last and why was it that this particular male seemed to be inciting the desires those images were feeding.

Yamamoto's reflexes are quick, and usually, he'd be able to avoid that. His curiosity and the fact that he isn't as familiar with man as he'd like to think hinder that, though, and he's easily caught off guard. His eyes widen in surprise and he blinks, dark eyes trailing from that grip on his wrist to Hibari's eyes.

He chuckles, because really, he expected that. Hibari isn't giving him much credit. Yamamoto doesn't think he will until he proves himself. "Haha! You might now, but not then." Where would the challenge be in that? Yamamoto knows that the Cloud is as susceptible to a good challenge as he is. If he just accepted getting bitten, there would be no fun in that. What he says now is what he has to be careful about.

"Guess that kind of depends on how you bite." With tonfa, or literally?

Hibari scoffed, he needed to clear his head and somehow that was not happening with Yamamoto around, yet, he seemed to have no intention of leaving the other behind.

"I'd do it right here and now, if I was weak enough to give into what they want."

He turned, really, how many times was this that he had touched the other now, he cursed that chip and if he could cut it out of his head right now he would.

"Oh." That kind of bite.

Yamamoto isn't going to voice it, but that does make him a little uncomfortable. He hadn't been serious, but it seems that Hibari's urges are much stronger than his own. The swordsman is kind of lacking in the personal-space-invading urges or anything sexual at the moment. He has ideas, but Hibari is terrifying, and Yamamoto doesn't want to take a hit to the head for making a bold, unwanted move.

"Haha! I'm glad it's you, then!"

It was his irritation, Hibari's blood had been thrumming since he got here, the exposure to things that seemed to trigger desires he had never himself acknowledge coupled with what the chip was doing was only serving to annoy him more.

"Keep telling yourself that."

How happy would he be if they succeeded, if they actually reeducated this man, turned him into someone who could not resist his baser urges, would Yamamoto still be happy then, as they continued to walk once Hibari let go of him the Cloud had to wonder. Yet, the Rain stayed patiently with him, it was a strange occurrence, most would have went a separate way by now.

It's true that it is odd for Yamamoto to follow Hibari. He has nothing to earn from doing so, no need for protection or any real connection with him. That familiar presence is soothing to his nerves, though. Yamamoto expects to be pushed away soon, but says nothing, not wanting to earn it prematurely.

"I am, though."

He'd meant it. Hibari is scary, but it seems he has a lot to give... and it will take a lot to get it out.

Hibari just gave a slight shake of his head and continued to walk, he felt into a quiet state, his mind on other things. What was the goal of this place, had it shoved them together on purpose? Of course they always seemed to end up crowding around him.

But not now, no this time they had only set upon him with the Rain, the Cloud had to wonder over this, he saw purpose in everything and believed these people here made no random decisions.

No, they wanted something from them.

"Where are you staying?"

Pffft what THEY want. Hibari you aren't fooling anyone

HE IS NOT ADMITTING THE TRUTH EVEN TO HIMSELF...he'll just release the rain and blame the chip.

LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF, HIBARI.

NEVER! That means admitting he might need someone, takes alot to get him to do that.

Or he could just be a selfish bastard and do what HE wants

HE WILL...just not the first day <<

XD gotta keep lyin'

On this desire, ahyup, even to himself XD for now..Yamamoto may wear him down?
