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]

[Thor had expected something of an argument, a petition to come along, or something similar. But perhaps Loki is too worn, tired and bruised, even for mischief. If that's the case, Thor will have to strive to keep him so tired more often.]

[Of course, it's always possible Loki is lying, or might sneak out after him. But he will trust Loki to keep his word, for now, until it's proven otherwise.]

[Thor leans down at the pull of Loki's hands, to accept whatever affection he might give.]

[forcedreset]

[ thor complies, but loki had not expected otherwise. loki smiles, warm and wide, and moves his hands through thor's thick hair to press it back and away, and with clever fingers he folds his brother's collar down, further away from his throat.

with no further prompting he leans in, brushes their noses together, then ducks his head to thor's throat, his jaw and his ear, closing his mouth against the warm, sensitive patch of skin where these three things meet. his grasp in thor's hair tightens, his lips form a seal and loki suckles gently, but firmly, opening his mouth wide and pressing in close to encourage.

when at last loki pulls back a fine bruise is blooming against thor's skin, darkening, an angry red around the edges; he cannot help the satisfied smirk that slants his mouth. ]

.. to make you mine. [ he says, only mildly smugly, and leans to touch their foreheads together once more. ]

[featherheaded]

[Loki's affections send a shivered thrill through Thor's blood again: the pulling grip of his hands, the warmth and gentle bruising pain by his lips at Thor's neck. Once he's finished, Thor wraps an arm around his waist to pull him up on his toes and press their bodies close, and kisses him again, with warmth, and stirring heat, and love.]

[In truth, he's always been Loki's, since childhood. Centuries ago, for as long as he can remember, since this strange and clever child was called his brother. But it wouldn't do well to tell him such things, of a past he thinks poorly of and cannot remember. So Thor offers him kisses and affection now instead with all his love before releasing him, and standing to his full height again.]

I'll remember it. And you, my brother. [He tilts Loki's chin up by two bent fingers.] Stay here.

[forcedreset]

[ whether or not loki shall actually heed his brother's orders and stay put is a mystery, but his eyes shine with sincerity when he smiles, and nods. even the rough brush of thor's fingers seems a strange and exhilarating thing now, and loki cannot help but think that there is so much to explore, still. so much to learn.

it's tempting to just say screw dinner!, as the mortals might. tempting to snag thor's wrist and keep him here, because that kiss alone was enough to make him feel warm again, to make him loathe to let his brother leave.

but that's silly. there will be time enough, later. all the night, and all tomorrow if he wishes, and the next day, and the next, perhaps. as loki steps back to pull open the door and allow thor to pass, his mind wanders, his thoughts stray - this place is all he has now, isn't it? there is nothing else. there is nothing to go back to. what does that mean, for thor? there is still so much to understand, so many questions to ask .. but later. soon. loki watches his brother's broad back, the noble furl of his cape, and waves vigorously, with a bright smile that does not quite reach his eyes. ]

Hurry back!

[featherheaded]

[Thor leaves, with Loki's eager smile in his mind, voice still echoed in his ears. Yes, he will hurry in his task, to return to the brother he loves, and keep him from the curiosity that might injure him in this place.]

[He walks, to find food, ask a few questions as he does, gets his bearings of this place. There is still Mjolnir to retrieve, a path to Asgardia to find, and he must always seek out others, the Asgardians he loves.]

[But Loki is here, and most important. He must keep him close and safe above all things. The longer Thor is gone, the more he worries that Loki will not be there when he returns. A chilling thought, that he might be out there again, helpless and amongst these people that cannot be trusted. Food of a grill found and carried in white bags, Thor hurries, as Loki had said, back to greet him,]

[And finds the door open, the small apartment empty. He can think of only one curse appropriate enough for what he feels.]

Loki.
