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!

Not all of them...

[The invitation's plainly there, so Dean reaches for the waistband of the boxer briefs and starts to push them down while he returns the kiss. They won't go all the way with the way Dave's sitting, but it's a start.

Yeah, the teasing was all well and good, but he wants something more, now. His cock's going to have the permanent imprint of a zipper on it if he doesn't get them off soon.]

My line of work rarely calls for leather pants. More's the pity.

[Similarly, Dean's going to blame the chip for how much closer he walks and how he enjoys admiring the way the leather moves on Mello. The urge to touch it is almost overwhelming, but for now, he resists.]

[ he watches - chin resting in the palm of one hand. that certainly was a number of colors being set to the side; maybe it just meant that he was unsure if he would like doing them or not? if he was inexperienced, that made sense.

but, it was just an educated guess.

and then Kanji is asking him what he likes and Iza can only stare. stare for a moment with a calm expression; brows knitting as he smiles. ]


Are you just curious or is that an attempt at an invitation?

[ the question slipping from his lips as he reaches into the left sleeve of his kimono. retrieving a string of his own beads and sets them before him. there was a lack of yellow ones (something of which he had done himself before discarding them). ]

Take a look, and feel free to ignore the black ones if you want.

[ what was on the string, however, was a multitude of blues and whites; a few pinks littered the strand, between some lavender and gray, with some black beads there as well. ]

[Dean shivers a little at the touch. Izanami's fingers are light and soft. He grins at the amused sound and continues with the disrobing. As soon as he reaches bare skin, his hands wander slowly over every smooth line. Izanami's chest and stomach are very pleasant to the touch and Dean takes his time mapping out the slim planes.

And since he's leaning forward like that, Dean takes the opportunity to lean in and brush his lips across Izanami's, then lightly down his jaw and neck.]


Gotta admit... that one strand is awfully distracting. Quite a few possibilities, there.

[Dean's words are murmured against his neck while his hands wander lower, skimming over his hips and thighs.]

[Dean definitely doesn't believe it. This guy looks way too prim and proper to be dealing with a place like this. He's willing to bet anything that this is Lelouch's first experience with a city-wide orgy, or an orgy of any kind, really.]

Other than the basics? I did wander a little deeper into the city and discovered they don't really like it when you try to stroll into the capitol building. Aside from that, not much. Every native I've talked to spouts the same, Stepford party line.

[He shrugs again.]

If there's more to it, nobody's talking yet.

"Yeah... you've got a good heart, Umi." She wasn't quite sure what that meant, herself, but it was basically just another way of calling her 'sweet' again. Trace didn't like to repeat herself.

As much as she disliked it, sometimes, it was a basic fact. She was... well, she could handle herself, and be fine on her own, but having someone willing to help her made a lot of things feel safer. Not to mention more convenient. As for her... okay, yeah, she had a crush on Umi. A tiny one, at the moment, but still. "Mm. Think we should go hunting for drug stores and hair dressers and stuff, now? And before you say anything, I'm still gonna pay for you. Even after all that."

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Man, Trace keeps complimenting her though. It really does feel like she has a crush on Umi, but she's not sure how she feels about that to be honest. Where does she go with that? Especially in a place like this, where she's sure that people out there have even less than crushes on each other. "Thanks."

"Why do you get to keep paying? We should both have the same amount of money. You're going to run out, and then I'll have to pay for you until you get a job anyways." It seems like a silly way to go about it, but if they're sticking together for now, it shouldn't leave them on the street either.

B-Both...

[ He's gotta admit some time that he finds this man attractive and wouldn't mind being educated by him- so far he's been pretty fair in temperament. ]

That's a lot of beads.

[ Were there even more before he'd shown up or was this guy stingy about who he gave his beads out to?

He definitely fancied the blue, but could he add more to it than that? What if he gave this guy a blue and a grey? Then he could tie his hands back and either try to go down on him or request the act me done to him. Kanji felt hot again and looked from his own beads to the ones just shown to him. ]

[ Greed was right— there wasn't much that could bother him. Not in this sort of situation, at least, and when he leaned in closer Ling certainly didn't seem to mind. He wasn't making any moves himself— not yet— but neither was he making the slightest attempt at getting away. ]

I could just be cheap and repeat your words, you know.

Let's say I'd like someone who can keep up my interest— I can be a bit of a challenge, after all. I like decisive people.

[ Tilting his head to the side just slightly, he gave him a cocky smile before continuing. ]

Maybe the kind of greedy person who wants to own everything, but give something in return when it matters.

[ And that last line wasn't just a coincidence— that much was obvious enough. But of course Ling wanted to see if Greed would pick up on it, and how he was going to react to it. ]

So? How about it...? Think you can help me out?

"Call it my chivalrous heart, I guess? The food here isn't that expensive, so I've still got a decent amount." She waves it off... to be honest, it's just Trace selfishly trying to make herself feel useful, but Umi didn't need to know that.

"I insist. C'mon, you kept me from cracking my skull open on the pavement back then. It's the least I can do."
dragon_blossom: (Sleep times)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
All kinds of chivalry between these two. It's nice to have a friend like this, even if they might end up frustrating each other insisting on doing things. With the help she's given Trace getting around, though, she can accept this. "Alright, alright. You buy me things, I keep your skull in one piece."

A little morbid, maybe. "I just hope no one messes with us when they see us not doing anything."
reversebrave: (Default)

[personal profile] reversebrave 2012-10-20 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Ehh... if someone tells us to do something, we can just say we're planning on doing it later." That seems like a good plan to Trace. Both those things, actually.

She reaches for her crutch and leans on it as she stands up, her eye drifting over to Umi. "Not like they'd have anyway to tell, right? Maybe we're just stocking up for a night of passion." ... Wow, that was a bad thought to have, with all the awkwardness between them.
dragon_blossom: (blushy nervous)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Before Trace says anything awkward, Umi is already standing, waiting to see if Trace needs help and offering her a hand. It's almost certainly going to be easier this way, she's just not sure if she should wrap an arm around her or under her arms or what.

Though now it's more awkward doing any of that. "Wh-... haha... y-yeah... stocking up, the two of us to... have a night... us... together..."

[personal profile] horologiumcomplex 2012-10-20 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Touche, Dean. But Dean was wearing a lot more clothes than Dave and that was going to have to change real soon. Real soon meaning now. Dave slips off of Dean's lap to stand up, working his briefs down all the way and tosses them aside.

Naked and not a touch bit shamed (blame it on the alcohol), he grins down at Dean and grabs one of his hands, pulling at his arm.]


C'mon, dude. You can fuck me on the bed.

[He was far too tipsy to have the coordination and grace to ride Dean. Particularly since, you know.....Well. You know.]
reversebrave: (Default)

[personal profile] reversebrave 2012-10-20 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Trace is kind of awkward now too, so she just takes Umi's hand and uses it for some added leverage. Okay, she's good now. She's standing.

"... Sorry." Trace mumbles. Though it was kind of cute, seeing Umi all flustered like that. "I, uh, gotta learn to think before I speak." Or just not speak at all, at this rate. "Still, it'd probably get them off our backs, you know?"

[If Bruce was anything he was self sufficient. He didn't rely on others for anything and he never had. Especially now when his last memories were of being surrounded by agents of SHIELD, though calling the Avengers themselves agents was almost laughable. Regardless, he'd been in the company of people connected to a government agency and then he'd woken up here.

It should've been enough to have him turning the opposite direction, running from Tony as soon as he spotted the other man in the crowd.

But the damage had been done, there was no changing that just yet. If anyone could help him figure this out, figure out a way to escape... well. It was Tony Stark. More than that, for the first time in seventeen years Bruce was angry and he didn't have to bottle it up. He didn't have to swallow it down and meditate and quiet his emotions. He was pissed and it felt good to let himself be pissed.]


I'd have expected better from you, Tony. [The words were sharp, snappish but not as heated as they could've been as Bruce stepped up beside the other man.] Which, I suppose, leaves the question of whose tech this is.

[Because if SHIELD could do this... why hadn't thy done it to him a long time ago?]
dragon_blossom: (Augh what)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Suddenly, even holding hands feels like it's just a bit different than it would've have been a minute ago. It's hard to take something like that back and pretend it was never said in a place like this, when she's having thoughts like this. "Oh, don't worry, my brain to mouth filter is pretty bad too."

Still holding Trace's hand, she leans just a bit closer. "Are they gonna believe two girls as nervous as we are? I.... man, they'd probably ask for a preview or something."
reversebrave: (pic#5006738)

[personal profile] reversebrave 2012-10-20 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
She's half tempted to lean in and kiss Umi, suddenly, but she quickly pushes that thought aside. They might be sorta-kinda flirting, but she didn't want to make a leap of faith only to realize she had gotten the wrong idea, or something.

... It's kind of hard to think straight, though, with Umi so close. And her still holding her hand. "Uh, well... hm. We'll figure it out if it happens, I guess. No sense in worrying about things that haven't happened."
dragon_blossom: (wat)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Umi might not even know if it was a bad idea or not when it was happening. They're too close, though, even though this shouldn't be a big deal at all, just holding someone's hand after you help them up. She's got one leg. It's natural to help, and that means holding her. Her hand.

Despite the sudden nervousness between them, she's just not yet letting go. "W-we will, of course, it, um... we'll have to..." Turning away a little. "Sh-should we ask for directions?"
reversebrave: (Default)

[personal profile] reversebrave 2012-10-20 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I guess we should... probably from somebody who isn't, uh, busy, though." Smooth, smooth. That was totally a good thing to do, bringing that up. Her hand squeezes Umi's a little, even with her leaning firmly on her crutch she didn't feel like letting go, and when she turns away...

Well, Trace doesn't go for it because of a sudden burst of courage or anything. She just... she doesn't know what was going to happen. For all she knows, something awful could happen the moment she left Umi's side. She kind of wants to have a goofy, happy memory. She guesses. Maybe. Either way, she kisses Umi's cheek, quickly and awkwardly. That was way less likely to lead to horrible things than an actual kiss, right? "Thanks a bunch."
dragon_blossom: (blushy nervous)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, yeah, haha. I'm sure there are plenty of people, someone has to know enough to help us." No one in the middle of banging wants two derpy teenagers asking for directions. Maybe they'll need to go back to that info center place sooner.

Umi's turned away, so she isn't really expecting anything from Trace. Maybe some more awkward hand holding, maybe a little more weight place on her. In fact, she barely registers what just happened to her cheek for a moment, until Trace pulls away and thanks her once again.

Cue a swiftly rising blush as she turns back. What does she do or say now that was a kiss, even if it was on the cheek, while they're holding hands. "I, um... T-Trace..."
reversebrave: (pic#5006738)

[personal profile] reversebrave 2012-10-20 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
"... Sorry. Coming on too strong?" Trace asks, disentangling her hand from Umi's and taking a step back.

"It was, uh, just sort of an urge. You've done a lot for me, and all..." And also she was really pretty, and treated her way nicer than she thought she deserved. "You know? ... No, you probably don't. Sorry."

[But, Dean was shirtless first, which means he wins. Or something. Coherent thought left the building when Johnnie Walker wandered in.

He lets himself be drawn to his feet and follows Dave to the bedroom. It crosses his mind to ask if the kid's sure about that, but he seems pretty damn sure of it.]


You done this before?

[He's not sure why he asks. Something tells him he won't get a straight answer.]
dragon_blossom: (Elegant)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-20 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Nonono! It's not... I mean..." Umi reaches for Trace's hand with both of hers, not just to keep her from falling or to help her up, but to hold her hand. "I..."

She doesn't want to think that she's only feeling what she is because she likes having someone reliant on her. That's not what she wants out of her at all, and Trace really needs someone she can rely on. But she's also... funny? In an awkward derpy way. Is she... "I... um, it's alright and... you're... do you... have a, uh... are you interested in me?" So red, and she's managed to go to an all-girls school without ever even thinking about girls being into her (protip: a few are).

[Stepford party line?

The expression presents him a few moments' worth of difficulty before he dismisses it, focusing instead on the far more (well, all right, relatively) relevant information.]


Is it expressly forbidden or do they merely take issue with people disrupting whatever work goes on there? Either way, it may be worth investigating.

[And no, he doesn't especially care that he's saying this out loud where anyone can here. Far more subversive things were likely being said in public; it couldn't make a difference.]

May I ask what your take on the situation is?
