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!

[ there's no smile-- not really, anyway. the eyes do seem to warm faintly, though, silently amused and charmed despite himself. no, this isn't at all like germania. the gruff northern nation had never seen need for such gestures-- and no wonder, really, considering where he'd come from and his association over the centuries with roma.

his fingers curl slightly in the callused palm, silently noting the marks of a seasoned warrior. this man, despite his casual clothing, is.. a soldier, perhaps? the manners and speech are a little archaic, though, and the long hair not typical of modern military.

he has to admit (at least to himself) that he's curious.

touching his free hand to his chest, he inclines his head slightly. ]


Egypt. [ as close to an introduction as he typically manages. he glances back up, then, expression taking on a faint hint of curiousity. ] --You are..?

He can turn this around. Bluff a little bit, let out the real Clint Barton.

He shoots her a glance, eyebrows up. "Might?" he asks. Turns around, and indicates his ass. Which he has been assured is exceptional. "You telling me you aren't tempted?"

Too bad. I love a good secret.

[And that came out... yeah, just exactly as flirtatious as he meant it. It's probably a bad idea, since there's something about this guy... yeah, pretty sure guy... that twinges his careful-don't-touch instinct. Still, the longer he's here, the more something's misfiring in his brain and the bad ideas are starting to sound good.

The question makes him grin.]


You want the truth? Or the pleasant fiction I usually give strangers?

[There are no insane asylums on the travel brochure, so hopefully nobody is going to run up with a white coat if he does.].

Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm not going to leave you stuck there. If I did, I wouldn't get my blue beads later, would I?

[He tips his beer back for a long drink, working to finish it off. They're going to need that table, after all.]

Once or twice. Not beads, though. I've got a thing for leather.

[Which, now that he thinks about it, they probably sell at, like, vending machines or something here. Crazy place, man.]

Natasha steps out into the brightly coloured chaos, a handful of beads clutched in one hand and the other held carefully at her side, widow's bite at the ready if a need arises. The first thing she does is snag a wrap in a bold shade of blue, covering her clothing, making her a part of the milling (and... fucking, wow) crowd.

She resists the urge to touch the scar over her ear, wonders how deep the implant is and how soon she'll be able to find someone to help her take it out. The idea of someone in her head is unsettling. Her thoughts have consistently been the only place she can guarantee privacy, the only place she's in total, unquestioned control.

One problem at a time. First thing's first - find out about her new surroundings. The sales pitch never tells the whole story.
pulledfromthepit: (happy: smarmy grin)

Excellent!

"Maybe. I have a problem with challenges. I can't resist them." He grinned lazily and shrugged. He didn't know the guy from Adam, but that never stopped him before. "What'd you offer that got folks running?"


((ooc: I usually default to no canon puncturing as a general rule, but if you want Dean to recognize Jason, he's that big a Batman nerd.))

[Oh hi there, new friend! Dean's in a chatty, friendly mood... owing largely to the fact that he's been drinking off and on for the last few hours and besides the drinking, well, he's been busy.

He shifts in his seat, careful not to topple over, and gives Izanami a lazy grin.]


I resisted for, maybe, half an hour. Don't really see the point, though, when everyone's having a good time, do you?

[He glances down at the black beads in Izanami's hand.]

Only one left? You've been having a good time, too, huh?
pulledfromthepit: (Default)

[personal profile] pulledfromthepit 2012-10-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, gotcha.

[Technically, Dean's supposed to be getting back to that whole... saving the world... thing, but he's just as inclined to put it off a while. The damn world needs to stop trying to destroy itself.]

Yeah, I've gotta admit, I'm not too keen on the idea of an implant in my brain.

[He rubs the spot above his ear where he can feel the mostly healed incision. Contrary to popular belief, he uses his brain kind of often and there are things in it that he doesn't particularly care to share with whoever's running the place.]

[personal profile] pulledfromthepit 2012-10-14 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Need help looking or anything?

[If it's a plot to kill everyone, it's a good one. All but a small handful of the people he's met so far who have been brought over like himself have already started to go native.]

[Dean raises his eyebrows at the bristling, but he's not too put off by it. Mostly because he's on the wrong side of sober at the moment. To answer the guy's question, he holds up a hand and ticks off his "points" one by one.]

One, I'm curious. Two, you're standing by yourself and nobody is by themselves here. Three, I'm nosy. Four, you happened to be between me and my next destination, and five...

[He pauses at the thumb, wiggles it for a second as he thinks, and then ticks it off with a nod.]

Because, I've been drinking mostly steadily since I got here. Take your pick.

[Carebears might have been slightly more effective. Fluffy bears plus the bird wings.

The screwed up part is that she knows he's probably right. Whatever started all this has to be pretty big and complicated to get a bunch of random people together.]


They could have just watched porn on their computer like the rest of us.

[Just saying. But Nariko doubts there's any use over thinking it, they are where they are. More importantly she loses any vague semblance of tact she had and just comes out with it.]

So were you hiding here to get away from the people or were you and the stairs having an existential conversation?

[ An explanation may have served Loki better — even Thor's thick skull is not always impenetrable to logic — but Loki has spent far too much time alone with his own thoughts, recasting all the principal leads in his own life as the worst of villains. Words have never had an effect, even before they named him the God of Evil. Only action has served him, so that is what Loki now takes.

He may not have the power to summon staff nor spear nor even a dagger sharp enough to suit his purposes, but the false cheer of this Midgardian fair comes with its own share of makeshift weapons.

And yes, admittedly, he doesn't know what the oversized rainbow-colored disk upon a stick is (the stands says Lollipops, but even Loki's information about Midgard is not exhaustive). Loki snatches it from its holster, ignoring the shout of the mortal shopkeeper, and readies it for a swing.

Not at Thor, but at the aforementioned mortal shopkeeper. ]


Summon Mjolnir, I said.

He pulled out the beads he was given earlier. The explanation was straightforward enough when they'd been handed to him, and Jason didn't find that much of a problem when it'd been given. However, other people shied away at about the time they saw that he was willing to use all of them. The beads were many, and in every color that the orientation center provided.

"You tell me," he replied casually. He let the beads play in the light for a few seconds longer before he placed them back where they'd been resting before and cocked an eyebrow, waiting for a response.

((OOC: I'd prefer not to have that happen. I'm fine with a vague sort of deja vu, but I can't ok a total canon puncturing, mainly because Jensen Ackles voices Jason in the Red Hood movie DC made. Dumb reason, but it'd just feel too weird for me.))

[And Aaron's been following this guy for a while. Because he looks exactly like him, and he wants to know why.

He's keeping as far back as he can, stalking between the crowds, keeping Clint in his sights. Was this some sort of freaky cloning thing? Did NRAG manage to clone him, or get some actor to pretend to be him? Was it all a trap?

He needs answers.]

Perhaps I am just naturally impressive.

[ Which is, let's face it, a laughable thing to say. Look at him. He's barely five feet tall, his face is monstrously mutilated as though someone with an equally sharp knife had decided long ago that he has no need of a nose, and his clothes aren't even the well-kept extravagances they were in King's Landing. He's not yet had time to go to a tailor, this house of ill-repute being his first stop on his tour of the City. ]

You, on the other hand, are a study in intimidation.

[ Tyrion takes a few steps towards him, unafraid. ]

That if I were to help you, I could only have sex with you. Right?

[There's a laugh right there. He's not insulted, but he's not old.]

And it'll take more than a city to break me down.

ohhi and thanks for the link of reference too :>

[ A careless shrug. ]

It's what I'm offering. As your "price". If there's someone or something else you want, I can arrange it, within reason.

While this was weird, it was better than the Phillipines. With one slight exception...

He'd received the beads, sure, and stuffed them right into the pocket of his jacket, venturing out into the festivities. He needed to get his bearings...
