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: <small>(<a href="THREAD URL HERE">Continued from here.</a>) between <user name="CHARACTER 1"> & <user name="CHARACTER 2"></small> Response here! 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!	USEFUL LINKS: [Premise] [Rules] [F.A.Q.] [Locations] [Local Citizens (NPC)] [Taken] [Wanted] [Reserves] [Application] [Main] [Logs] [OOC]

Finally, a face and a voice that match what she knows in her mind. The careful gait, the confidence in the set of her shoulders tempered by years of placing herself in a position of secondary importance, not because she feels inferior, but because she recognizes the need. Tony always has to be the star. He can't function without the spotlight. If Natasha called it in their first five minutes together, she can't imagine it escaped Pepper's notice for long. The careful grooming, the femininity and the grace, the intuition of a model to find the best light and line. Everything screams Pepper Potts.

"Miss Potts." Natasha isn't immediately sure if Pepper is playing a part since they're not alone, or if something has happened and she genuinely believes that Natalie is her real name and her cover is her real life. She slows and turns, smiles at Pepper and holds out her hand. "Thank goodness. A familiar face."

Pepper smiled, and holds her hand out as well. "I'm preferring familiar faces as well. And I'm glad you're here, or as glad as anyone would be in this situation."

She paused, then continued on. "Tony tells me most important things, and he was very free with me with information he got in a meeting after the Expo. He's not keeping that secret from me."

Enough of a hint, Pepper hopes, to tell Natasha that Pepper knows who she is, but she isn't going to be the one to spill it.

"Hopefully he'll have the good sense not to tell anyone else." She's honestly not all that worried about Pepper. Part of why she likes the other woman is that she's fairly certain that Pepper has the surplus of common sense and practicality that Tony is so obviously missing. "How long have you been here?" Getting information from someone familiar will be easier for her than trying to glean it from strangers.

"I'm pretty sure he only told me. He doesn't have very many he could confide in."

Pepper shrugged, then thought for a moment. "A day, maybe?" She was still getting her bearings. "Not precise, but I'm still getting my bearings here. Surgery does that to me, I'm learning."

Her eyes looked over the crowd, then back at 'Natalie'. "And how long have you been here?"

[unmakeme]

"About two hours?" The rising inflection of a question isn't really necessary - unless her internal clock is drastically off, she's fairly certain that she's accurate to within a couple of minutes. "This place is fucking creepy." And there's not a hint of doubt in that statement.
