Test Drive Meme: The Overflow

PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR THREADS OVER AT THE LATEST OVERFLOW POST, THANK YOU.


CITY OF ARIEL: THE TEST DRIVE
THE OVERFLOW


Since the last post is fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post. 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!

[It doesn't take too long for Elena to find her way to something more interesting to her, as much as she would deny she did anything really questionable... Well, a bar was always a good place to find information, at least.

Thus she took towards one of the back tables, listening intently to the conversations going on around her. Focus was on that and not the actions of the people, even though her eye was trained enough to know when one was moving to brandish a weapon. Nothing of that type had popped up just yet, just idiots pawing at each other and thinking that it was such a grand idea to proposition someone with those damned beads.

Nor had there been any useful information so far, even if she'd paused upon one conversation in particular. It hadn't been information, per say, but she couldn't help but be interested in these supposed exploits someone had been in. Blood, fear, weapons all combined into a nice and neat little package of debauchery. That really shouldn't have caught her attention as much as it had.

Grumbling to herself she took a small sip from her water, having already finished her recent glass of scotch.]

A quiet room. That sounds wonderful. She starts walking, keeping herself close to his side, and then she looks at him out of the corner of her eye. "You're not trying to trick me, are you? Act all nice and trustworthy so I'll have sex with you once we get... wherever we're going? Cause I'm not-- I don't do that." Not that he's not attractive. He is. Floppy hair and all.

He takes all of this in without comment. Doesn't understand much of it, but does file it away.

"A fortunate happenstance, then," he says. This planet, whatever it may be, provides opportunities that Thrawn did not have not long ago. From utter, desolate exile, to a free prisoner.

"My name is Mitth'raw'nuruodo," he tells her, the Cheunh syllables flowing off his tongue. "I'm given to believe species' like yours prefer a simpler designation. My corename is Thrawn."

Trick her? ... Well, he supposes given the others around them it could be a possibility. Still, he presses his lips together unhappily and shakes his head.

"No, I was planning to look for the residential area anyway -- and... You looked... to be having difficulty. That is all."

He flinches away from someone who gropes out for them as they pass by, half shields her with an arm and raises an eyebrow at them as he tries to move out of the area and through towards the housing. A little to forward for his tastes, if he's honest.

[A new arrival found himself on the street after his run in with the office. Most might have been upset about this all or even show that they were thrilled. However, this was Spanner. In his mind the most interesting thing was the subliminal messages that seemed to play every time he tried to focus on other things. It was an amazing thing to him. How someone, a complete stranger, could figure out a way to directly shoot thoughts or images into someones mind. Whoever these people running "Ariel" were...they were interesting and that excited the mechanic.

Even in the constant onslaught of thought telling him to seek pleasure he still finds himself grabbing some beads. Most of them colored pink, blue, orange, grey, white and black. They held something he had been curious about maybe testing but never got the chance to do so. Because sex wasn't something he really thought too much about. He had his machines and things to tinker on so that was all he needed in the world.

Now, however, to suddenly have to do such tasks he can't help but to feel like he is a little at a lost. Really he hadn't even spoken to many people especially women...Oh well time to give this a shot.

Walking up to random people he stares at them for a few moments before he starts to speak.]


Hey...did you arrive too? [He asked with the beads around his neck.] ...

"Yeah," she says, nodding her head. "Fine. Just... trying to figure it out."

Oh, why the hell not? He's a good looking guy and he seems to be just as stymied by the whole experience as she is, and she's got to start carving out a foothold here if she's going to get enough power to get the fuck out. "Finish your beer," she says, nodding her head over her shoulder. "Let's get out of here." And she's already looking around for a more prime location, someplace that's going to catch some attention.

She'd been ready to live and let live... until he'd shoved her. "Hey, cool your jets, buddy. I said sorry, jeez. Not like there's a lot of personal space room trying to navigate through here, you know?"

Natasha was starting to get the lay of the land. Pun not intended, but she'd take it. Money was fairly easy to come by if you knew what people wanted and how to give it to them. Natasha was good at that.

In the back of her mind, she'd had one constant train of thought. Keeping an eye out for people she recognized, anyone else who might have ended up here, allies she'd know for a fact she could trust. So when she caught sight of Clint's form behind her, her immediate reaction was an overwhelming relief. "Very cute. Stop screwing ar--"

But the moment she really looked at him, she could tell that something was wrong. The way he held himself, the flecks in his eyes, the shade of his hair, just slightly off. She was on him in a flash, but probably not in a way he wanted. She had her hand around his throat, Widow's Bite humming quietly with the charge she was more than prepared to unload directly into his jaw. "Who are you? Where's Barton?"

"I'm not your buddy," Silver replied, "And I'm trying to find my way out of this crazy place..."

He looked around frantically, only to realize there was no easy hole for him to squish through in the mass of people at the moment.

"This is ridiculous!"

"At least it's better than Zillyhoo," she decides flippantly. Really, who let The Grand Highblood pick that? Nevermind that everyone around him lived in terror of being smeared into the bloody kaleidoscope of his walls.

"I go by Marquise Spinneret Mindfang, although Mindfang will do for casual conversation." She leans forward a bit, chin perched in her mechanical hand, ignoring the marks that the edge of her metal elbow leaves on the wooden table. "Are you reconciled to the linguistic concession? If others prefer it, does that mean you do not? It would hardly be taxing to learn."

He'd been surprised by her movement, but it was instinct and dealing with stronger, faster things than her on a day to day basis that had his arm coming up to block the hand going for his throat. Sweeping it to the side, he pushed at her midsection with his other hand, aiming to give them some space. "Whoa, lady. If you don't want to be called 'ma'am', all you have to do is say so."

Because really, that was the only thing he could think of that he'd done that could have set her off. "I don't know who your Barton is, but I'm Dallas. Detective Jake Dallas, LAPD Ghoul squad. I like a little forwardness as much as the next guy, but I don't have any red beads showing," he said, hand going up to check and see if she'd drawn blood.

"Those of the Chiss more often go by their rank, and or family, than by their corename," he tells her. "It is... a kind of respect, to that which is larger than us. But the simple fact is that not every species has that attitude, or expresses it in a similar way. Furthermore, we are no longer in Chiss space."

Not that he had been, quite, on the planet where they abandoned him.

He inclines his head. "Mindfang, then," he says.

"You think I'm playing?" Natasha asked, her whole body on alert and ready to stop him if he tried to get away. "I heard the whole welcome wagon speech - genetic donors, DNA on file. One hell of a coincidence, don't you think? That you just happen to be wearing the face of the one guy I've spent all day looking for?" Which, all right, wasn't strictly true. She'd been looking for anyone familiar, but Clint was number one priority. Always. "Clint Barton. Tell me where he is or I'm going to break your jaw. You fight with me long enough and I guarantee you're going to lose."

[personal profile] thatsnotmygun 2012-10-24 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I think maybe you need to take your meds or something, because firstly, I don't have a clue who Clint Barton is and secondly, I already told you who I am. You think you're the only one not happy to be brought into this little shindig? Think again, lady."

He took a deep breath, pulling the rational, professional side out and trying the whole 'words out of mouth' thing again. "I can't tell you what I don't know, okay. And whether we scrap about it or not is completely up to you. I'd prefer not, since my mom taught me not to hit women, but I'm sure as hell not going to stand here and let you use me as a punching bag for whatever frustration you have for being here. You wanna talk? Talk. You wanna fight? Go find someone else in the mass of people here who's into that shit, 'cause it's not me."

"I did not ask what was common," she points out. "I asked whether you preferred it."

She sips her drink and licks her lips with a blue tongue.

"Would you have me pay my respects, Mitthrawn Uruodo?" Her accent is clipped and distinct, and she makes no attempt to erase it. Better an Alternian accent than to stumble over the syllables themselves in an attempt at nuances she doesn't yet know how to hear.

"Fine then, dude. Whatever. It was an accident. No need to get pissy." She smoothed her shirt down, giving him a side-eyed look as she did.

"It's a festival. Albeit more of a naked one than I'm used to, but it's just a party. Push and make room if you want to go anywhere."

[ this is definitely not the type of kisses that go on in a normal kissing booth. usually they're shorter than this and not quite as...well, not like the one that's going on between them. tongue involvement usually cost a penny more.

but, in a place like this, it was probably no surprise to see a kiss like this take so long.

and that was a nice action and reaction. even if it was for only a moment, the way Ran sucked his tongue got a content "mm" out of him. a second later, Izanami is pulling away; the movement is slow and as he draws back, he licks his lips.

but he isn't going to move too far away. he'll still be leaning over the booth's table top, hand to his shoulder as he gives a lazy smile. ]


Well?

Preferred it? No; he had simply grown accustomed to it. His guests, after all, spoke appalling Cheunh.

"That, I suppose," he returns, in kind, "would depend on what you respect." His eyes are steady on her, his fingers steepled.

[ well, this sucked something fierce.

one of the weirdest ways to cockblock a guy: pull something out of a sci-fi novel or movie (or would it be fantasy? like hell he really cared to figure out the correct genre to put it under) that involves "hi, you're in a totally different place that's not your own home! go and have fun okay?"

or something like that - he may have not even really paid too much attention because god damn he'd been in the middle of talking one of his professors into helping "tutor" him. it pissed him off. but maybe the pay off was okay? after all. he'd been sent off with a string of various colored beads to go and enjoy himself.

be merry. have fun. fuck around with people by offering up some of those beads as incentive. ]


Oh, what the hell... [ it wouldn't hurt to look around or whatever.

maybe he could have some fun with some people. get rid of the idle irritation and mild frustration he felt. ]


What's the worst that could happen.


( ooc; this kid is from the same universe as my other oc (Izanami); he's also a bird-type as well (golden pheasant/peacock mix). also kind of a verbally abusive tsundere with a potty mouth.

She presses a kiss to the side of his neck, dry and cool but lingering.

"For luck," she murmurs in his ear.

Oh, all kinds of things. [She grins back, blue tongue flicking over her fangs.]

Although, as a priority, I'm definitely going to need a few of these dresses. I'm not used to not being the most flamboyant person on deck.
