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!

[The smile fades a little.]

I was fond of that hat, I'll have you know. You didn't have to impale it.

...sorry.

[ Oh, look. An actual apology. Savor it while you can. ]

[Does "savor" mean "glance away and shrug?" Because that's what Lelouch is doing now, still nibbling away at his sandwich and leaning back just a little because, against all reason, he's starting to almost relax.]

I won't have reason to wear it here. It doesn't matter.

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Good. Moving right along, then. ]

Is it acceptable to walk around like that in your world?

I'm usually not slammed against the wall for doing so.

It would probably be worse in mine.

Slammed against the wall and mugged?

Thor, of course, heard this part of the story later: he had not encountered Barton until they came side-by-side together in New York, had not known of his presence in New Mexico before then. But there had been time, brief enough though it was, to talk after that before he took Loki back to Asgard, to understand what kind of band of warriors had been scrapped together.

"My brother brought the tesseract to the city of New York, and there ensued a great battle against his summoned army," Thor begins, launching into the story, making a tale of it, almost a song of it, falling into a cadence as though he and Clint sit around the great table in the feast hall of Asgard reciting epics. Of course, he was never the poet that some among the Aesir are, but he thinks his account of it makes for a satisfying accompaniment to their drink, even if it lacks eloquence, and he concludes saying, "Now all is as it should be, the warriors disbanded, the prize safely locked away," and then pauses, wondering if it is the tesseract or Loki he speaks of.

"You fought as valiantly as any," he adds after a moment, unsatisfied by this conclusion.

Oh fuck...

[It won't be long now, she can feel it. She's already so aroused from prior activities that she may as well give up on dragging this out. All she wants right now is release. Mercifully enough, for once they both can agree on something. She's not thinking about how human the act is, only how good it feels.

She knows that he isn't enjoying it the way she is, but she doesn't appreciate him not looking at her. Vain as she is, she likes to be the center of attention. She slaps him in the face, not wanting him to focus on anything but her.]

[ Ah, brothers. How they will go astray.

Thor finishes his drink, and has it replenished with a mug of beer and a shot of whiskey, the latter drunk first, as easily as though it's water; then he lifts the mug to his lips. ]


I think I, too, will enjoy the festivities of the evening, and perhaps seek company; it has been some time since I have come here. [ To Midgard, he means. ] They are generous with their drink: much as the feast days at home.

[ His thoughts do not follow Loki's down these dark paths; he is holding him, and his brother is still within his arms, succumbing to the embrace, and what more can matter now but that there is this fragile peace between them, what more than this can he wish for? --To be embraced in return, perhaps, but he will take this much and be glad for it, desiring wholeheartedly the surrender of contentment. What world, what branching of Yggdrasil exists where he is furious with his brother, pained and grieved and raging at him, dragging him back to the prison of Asgard that he has so contemptuously slipped? It is far from him, very far, in this place which soothes and seduces him, where sentiment is greater than anger could ever be. ]

There is no power which can take so much from us; and if there is, and if it does, we will take it back.

[ He dares to tangle his fingers in his brother's hair, to stroke carefully through the strands. How did he come here, then, if it is true and his seidr is gone from him? Did he escape? He assumed, of course, and yet-- ]

Was it Father who sent you here? [ Perhaps Odin could bind him; Thor is not sure. ] Are you exiled?

"Oh? When you put it that way I think I prefer my world and my life" Or maybe she didn't, maybe walking cannibals would be easier to digest then a persona who didn't know when to quit and fighting aliens intent on taking over New York.

"Natalie" She didn't offer her real name, force of habit, gave him her fake name, her go-to name. And her second name was simply irrelevant to the conversation.

"So colour me intrigued but where do you come from? Sounds pretty fucked up."

[ Raped, more like, though he doesn't say that out loud. ]

Things that are fragile don't last.

[ He cups the face which is lifted to his, cradling it between warm and broad palms. Delicate fingers wander along his jaw, a touch which eases and soothes at the same moment as it kindles, stirring an answering warmth within him like the glow of a hearthfire. ]

There are many stories; most don't know them now. [ He leans forward, resting their foreheads one to the other. His hands fall to Egypt's narrow waist, and Thor lifts him closer to his broad frame, and shifts to cover his mouth with his, gentle and warm. The subject of his own legends is of no great interest, but the man in his arms is, small, light, fleet warmth, fluid voice and touches. An arm circles his waist, locking together their bodies, and the other hand cups around his head and delves into soft thick hair, his palm cradling. ]

I'm not fragile.

[ ...alright, now he's going to say it out loud. ]

You could've been raped.

I'm Chi-Chi, the Ox-King's...oh, never mind that.

[She's so used to saying it, it's almost second nature. Even now, she's still proud of it- it's just that it's probably not relevant. Plus, it's bad enough with trying to figure out what's going on here without explaining her papa.

She moves to put the plate on the partly repaired stand. Of course, she takes that time to give an even look to some curious passersby.]


So, what's your plan here, Setsuna?

[ He's not really much of a ...doer, Jim Moriarty. Though he does enjoy watching, his eyes flickering over writhing bodies as he strolls through the crowds. The string of beads is clutched in his hand, and he's staring at those carnal acts with a raised brow, a tongue coming out to lick at increasingly dry lips.

Really, this is all very...interesting. ]

[personal profile] kingside 2012-10-15 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[That hadn't been necessary, in fact (he isn't stupid), but Lelouch flinches to hear it anyway, again determinedly avoiding eye contact. Of all the people he could have stumbled into...]

I know.

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-15 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't really, until it happens.

[ He goes suspiciously silent at that. ]
luciferspromdress: (look over)

[personal profile] luciferspromdress 2012-10-15 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely... [He returns the slight smile before looking back ahead, taking in the city. Might be his new home for awhile apparently...]

I mean, don't get me wrong... the situation kind of sucks, but I'm glad we met.

[ A king's daughter? Or would that be wife? Curiosity infiltrates his closed off expression, but he dismisses the thought as soon as she does, moving right along. ]

Surveillance. Observance. Intelligence. Then I take action.

[His eyes are back on Setsuna's face in an instant at that remark, but he isn't about to ask. A statement like that...

Gradually, his gaze slides back to the floor.]


I have a gun, at least. [Because it had been so helpful earlier.] And I won't be wearing this again.

[When his own drink is finished, he has the same as Thor. A shot of whiskey and beer. The burn of the whiskey is almost soothing after the day he's had, eases his nerves that much more. Definitely getting more than just a single shot later. Couldn't help but be relatively impressed with the way this guy to toss back drinks either, like it's nothing at all.

If they kept each other company for a bit tonight, this was definitely going to be interesting.]


You've been here before? [There was a little hope to his voice, but he doubted Thor meant the same place somehow.] They're generous so far, yeah. [He brings his beer up to his lips and looks around.] So, what is it like back home exactly? [Sam can't help it, his curiosity's piqued. Even if this guy isn't really Thor, he figures the story should be entertaining anyway.]
