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!

Trace isn't either, honestly. She had maybe fooled around. Once. A year ago. Before the accident. And it had mostly been some kissing and then them both nervously telling each other good night.

"... Back home, I guess? What's your life like? It'd be good to know whether or not we have anything in common, for one thing. I mean, we were both taken here. Figuring that sort of thing out could help us get out."

Awkward teenagers, can't get anywhere because they're awkward teenagers, and now they have to deal with a city that is basically made of sex. And it's having a special festival for it right now or something she doesn't even know but it's everywhere.

"It... hm. I'm pretty norm-well, no, most girls can't even afford the school I go to." Nervous laughter. Avoiding Magic Knight talk. "I like to hang out with friends, and play video games though which is normal."

[personal profile] reversebrave 2012-10-19 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, Trace has talk she'll be avoiding too. Mostly involving demons, and that one time some lady punched out a giant wolf. That was pretty metal.

"Well, it's expensive, but it's still just a school, right? A good one, but still." Trace shrugs, motioning vaguely with one hand. "So you go to school, hang out with friends, and play games. See? Completely normal. Mine is... basically the same. Well, I don't have as many friends as I used to, but it's still the same old same old. Guess the only thing we have in common is being boring." She laughs a little, rubbing her cheek. "Man, I was hoping you'd say something like 'I'm Magical Maiden Miyuki, defender of love and hope.' That'd be a lot cooler."

Metal is a foreign concept to Umi she is interested and would like to know more.

"Yeah. Mostly, we're all normal girls, just uh. Wealthier." Trying not to make a big deal out of it, and probably making a big deal out of it in the process. Trace's school sounds perfectly normal as well, except for her friends being assholes. Unless she got herself hurt doing something bad? That might almost justify a little negativity. "Well, my hobbies are pretty cool, or at least I think so. I'm on the school's fencing team."

Sure! Haha! It's nice to meet you, Matt!

[He's quiet while he thinks about that, moving on down the street to find somewhere more quiet so he won't have to risk dividing his attention between any random passerby and Matt.]

Yeah, why? Want to play?

Well, see, first you acquire some basic reasoning skills: Good ideas, bad ideas, risk/reward. Then you decide 'fuck that' and do whatever you want.

"... So, not normal." Trace jokes, waving her hand a little to make sure Umi knew it was a joke. As for her friends... it was just a random accident. It could have happened to anyone, and through no fault of their own. Her friends were a bit more complicated than that, but essentially one of them had always been an asshole and the other just didn't care much about anything. And... those were the only two friends she had left at this point.

Trace led a sad, slightly weird, life. "Oh, that is cool. I used to do soccer, myself." But then... yeah. Yeah. "Like I said, still kinda generic, though. Guess they just took us for kicks, and there's no good reason."
dragon_blossom: (Peaceful and happy)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-19 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good she's got the first step down, and running around trying to save a world that isn't your is kind of doing the second. So, a little metal?

"Slightly abnormal." Umi's getting the hang of telling when Trace is joking already, which is good because otherwise she might be getting annoyed instead. Really, as far as she can tell, Trace mostly seems a little weird and a lot lonely, and it's kind of sad.

...yeah soccer's not happening like that. "Haha, yeah. Fencing is... pretty important to me, actually, I've been doing it for a few years now and I've gotten really good at it."

[Setsuna just eggs him on, continuously. Mello should have just choked him until he turned blue, and it pisses him off that he didn't. Now Setsuna has his other hand and — fuck. Just fuck. He moves into the grinding motion despite his better judgement, attention completely on Setsuna and what he's doing with his finger — his glove. He considers it perverse the moment the thought enters his mind, but he is enjoying this — this half-intimacy of the leather being licked. In fact, he becomes a willing participant, pulling his hand back, and then pushing the finger back in, against the tongue. And that friction...

He forces himself to breathe steady, to try and come back into the moment. It's difficult, because all of this feels so good. But there's the challenge — make me — and he does want to win. He wants it so bad — wants all of this so bad that his desires start blending together, becoming more of an animalistic need, rather than a thought-out want.

And so his decision on how to make Setsuna release his arm is a combination of grit and desire, determination and arousal. Everything bleeds together as Mello takes his hand away from Setsuna's mouth and leans forward.

Mello kisses him.

A real kiss this time. It starts all lip, but before long, Mello urges his tongue inside to find Setsuna's. He kisses him in a way that Mello has kissed no one before — all intimacy and no bite, no threat, no feigned sweetness.

It's true — there is an ulterior motive. Mello wants to be released and he is trying to make Setsuna let go of his arm, trying to surprise him with uncharacteristic affection.

But the line blurs.]

[ His mouth had been stuck hanging open ever since he was let out of the office. This glaze over his mind was distracting, so much so that he barely read the words for each bead and just grabbed a handful of random colors. Black, grey, white and red. ]

The fuck are all the beads for?

[ They were each dropped to hang around his neck and he stepped out to take in the sights of festival. It seemed pretty fun, games, people... people- where were their hands!? A moan from one of them was more than enough to confirm just where they actually were. Kanji's eyes bugged out and his entire face burned red. How was this kind of behavior acceptable?! ]

The hell?! Does anyone have any shame?!

[personal profile] gloryride 2012-10-19 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[That transparent, huh? He wants to be surprised, even gets as far as letting an unsettled expression sit in place for a second or two but with as out of place and as lost as he feels, he really shouldn't be surprised at all.

Now he's just hoping this isn't going to get him into trouble, because his suit is missing and he has no fucking idea where he is. He's kind of hoping this is going to end up a takes one to know one type situation.
]

Depends. On uh, exactly where 'here' is.

[He kind of wants a second assessment.]

[A rest could be interpreted many ways in this situation, according to the conduct of the city and the nature of the party favours, but considering he's also looking for his brother, he's just going to not assume and just take 'rest' at it's literal value.

The too on the end of that is somewhat of a comfort, though, at least he's not the only one walking around completely disoriented.

But instead of answering right away, he holds out his hand to initiate a friendly shake. Which also buys some time to assess this situation and not blab anything he doesn't have to. Can't hurt to make some conversation though, figure some stuff out.

[ He wasn't entirely surprised by this Greed not recognizing him (or at least, that's what he was assuming-- after all, there wasn't anything indicating otherwise), so he didn't really waste much time thinking over it. Of course, the possibility of a touching reunion was out of the question given that-- but it's not like it mattered much. Memories or no memories, he was just happy to be able to talk with him again like it was no big thing.

Beyond that, this situation was more than a little intriguing for him. Ling wasn't entirely certain where he wanted to take this, not yet, but he definitely wanted to see how far he could push it. And considering just who the person in front of him was, there certainly was a number of ways this could have gone.]


Got anyone in mind yet...? It sure sounds like you know what you're looking for.

[ And as soon as he finished that sentence, his normally squinted eyes came open-- revealing a predatory and hungry look that matched Greed's own quite well. Kindred spirit, was it...? They definitely shared similarities, no matter the situation. ]

I've been looking for the right partner myself.

[ It wasn't much, but it was a hint, and though his tone of voice was casual, it revealed a certain amount of interest-- making it clear that he'd just begun having fun. ]

[Elua chuckles as the music picks up tempo and the song changes]

Well, not all music is slow. Shall we pick up the pace a little?

[The dance he leads her in next is probably a little more up Ariel's dancing alley, and he's grinning the entire time, it's meant to be fun, the sort of dance that leaves one or both partners a little breathless and smiling by the end]
flowersteps: (When we come back)

Kinky you say?

[Elua had already noticed the woman with the red hair, and when she crooks her finger he raises an eyebrow, but otherwise he comes over to where she stands, giving her a polite bow and a small smile.]

May I help you?

[He's all politeness and smiles, but oh she is so lovely, and he can only guess what it is that she might be summoning him for, her bearing as imperious as any Queen he has ever met.]

{OOC: Elua is more the gentle persuasion sort, but he's going to be up for just about anything Persephone would like to try out! Personal comfort level says no watersports, but other than that we're good for damned near anything!]

For Luppi's part, he wasn't feeling quite himself because he was himself and before he came to in that chair, he was a charred pile of former Espada in Aizen's throne room. He had yet to discover the suppression of his powers because it was enough to be walking and talking right now. He was also feeling cocky enough to never even imagine that something like that could have happened. He had just cheated death. He was invincible.

He had a few beads (literally) up his sleeve and he was taking everything in. Even better than the steady stream of sexual displays was the people they were bothering. Luppi had one in his sights right now.

Walking close enough to make sure he could be heard over the general noise of the crowd, he asked, "If I stuck my hand down your pants, which one would I find out was the truth - the way you were staring or all that 'how dare they?' indignation?"

He does not know shame, not here, not anywhere; what need has a god for shame? Discretion, of course, is something else, and decorum, and perhaps he would act with a little more of both if they were elsewhere; it is this place, it is the spell of it coming over him as it has already done more than once this evening, and made him desire, and take what he desires the way he takes now of Barton's mouth upon his and his body in his arms, and takes pleasure in how the man succumbs to his touch as though going to a long and eagerly-awaited bedding with him. Barton is astride his hips, perfectly centered, thrusting to him in a slow rocking and Thor can feel the swelling of him and the way his own cock answers.

His hands curve greedily around compact hardness of Barton's thighs. He is in all ways satisfying to touch, to kiss, to lift his hips in answer to his thrusting and to pull him harder against him, fingers sinking into his flanks. Such an intimate way to know him, which he never before imagined: he never thought that he would be so pleased to take all that Barton offers him, and to be certain that he will offer still more before the night is past.

[Gaia wasn't sure what to make of what he said. He was being vague. So it was true she wasn't malicious. Well, only when she was trying to take down the lowlifes in the park or someone who was threatening her did she have any real desire to hurt anyway. But she wasn't sure she agreed that they had known each other long enough to simply agree with his vague answer.] I'm not going to argue I'm not a bad person.

[She eyed the orb in his hand skeptically. She didn't believe him, but she didn't feel that he had also really crazy or dangerous. Dangerous crazy she knew, but he didn't give off that aura. Anyway, D could read auras. If he was here, he probably would tell her this guy had a good one. Gaia was almost sure of it. So, she simply nodded.] When you get your energy back, it'd be interesting to see.

[Gaia looked at him with a mix of amusement and confusion when he said he'd never heard a girl say something like that before. Where was he living in New York that he didn't get bombarded by it? Of course, it was nowhere near this case of physical or mental assault, but it was still there. Girls had no shame anymore. Once, she'd even accidentally shown a sex tape between Heather and Sam in the middle of homeroom when kidnappers told her too.] You've never heard a girl talk about fucking? Or well, not fucking, but sexuality? Where have you been living? Have you been hiding under a damned rock? [While her words might be considered a little brazen, crude, and even mean, but she wasn't doing it on purpose. His words just surprised the hell out of her. With how she was feeling, impulse control and mood or tone control wasn't in her. Hell, normally it wasn't in her reportre to begin with.

Despite how his words could be taken or how he immediately tried to fix it, Gaia laughed. She wasn't sure she'd met a guy who ever would be willing to admit to any sort of inexperience. It was just amusing to her that he'd just admit it. Her hand moved from his arm, but it wasn't to back away or stop. Instead, she shifted so she was directly in front of him and placed both hands on his shoulders.] Chill. It's not like I'm the most fucking experienced. I can just help you with your little problem. My issues isn't as obvious as yours.

[She was dying to get some... some relief herself, but she certainly wasn't going to make him uncomfortable with it. Maybe if she did help him, he wouldn't be as nervous and be more interested in returning the favor in some way. They were partners. Didn't they need to be clear-minded to think this all through logically? Right now she didn't think with the way they both felt - flushed and aroused - either were thinking logically.]

[ He hasn't decided yet if he's looking for fun or not, but damn she's hot. That's always worth a hello and enough reason for him to stroll on over and snag a beer for himself and offer a grin up to her. ]

So how do you prefer your pick-up lines?

[ Starting with him could be a risky proposition - for them both. Either way, the Turk feels someone approach and turns his head. Green eyes focused but seemingly lazy as he watches the approach of someone who is a little more determined than most.

A drink from his bottle and a drag from his smoke; Reno remains relaxed though the e-mag flips once from the leather strap over his wrist. Perhaps it's a silent warning, perhaps he's just bored. Honestly it's a toss up even in his mind. Coming here had made him...antsy and Reno isn't quite sure what he wants to do about that yet. ]

Reno cocked his head to the side and studied it for a few moments before returning to his bottle and his smoke. He hadn't missed the implications of that statement, not at all.

"Cash is good, but sometimes other shit's better." A grin formed around the neck of the bottle before he took a drink.

[With a nod, she allows them to do just that. The next dance is more her speed, swirling and darting through the air. The breeze billows against her skirts, the thin fabric of the dress provided by the City not at all inhibiting to her.

Something occurs to her, though, as they dance, and she doesn't bother to stop to ask.]
