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!

[He can't help but laugh a little at the sudden change of expression on Rin's face. He starts to take off the beads for him.]

Considering the smell of this place I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to jump you if they saw these beads. [A pause.] I'm surprised you haven't noticed it yourself. This place smells worse than an unkempt barn.

[She comes mostly to a stop, one hand on canted contraposto hip, while one booted foot keeps tapping to the music. She stays perched on the table - the better to gaze down on him.]

I think comfortable implies a degree of repose. But I find my surroundings amenable enough.

"I don't know... I think it's safe to say anything to do with sex is fair game." At least anything consenting from what it seemed... which was a very good thing. Didn't need anything else to make this place any worse. "Why would you ask? Are you some kind of criminal mastermind?"

[A scowl eventually settled in to place, but he didn't protest having the beads removed. Anything to keep him from getting jumped.

Suddenly this place didn't seem so cheery anymore, and he was finally starting to pick up on the scents other things had been covering up until he actually paid attention to them.

His nose wrinkled a little.]


Noticin' now...

Yeah? Told we don't get very much technology right off... guess we gotta wait a little while. At least we get the basics and crap though, I guess.

[Matt smirks, dangerously close to a smile. It's hard to not smile around this guy at least, that's good, since everyone else is either busy with their mouths or frowning.]

I could have, but I also wanted you to find me.

[He nods his head forward.]

That way, just any direction. You like baseball right? I think they have some throwing games if you wanna check those out. I just prefer not to stay long in one place.

Good to know we're on the same page now! [With the beads gone he pockets those as well. He'll find something to do with them later.

He pats Rin on the shoulder.]
Sorry to ruin your fun, kid, but I'd rather you find out the easy way. [He pauses.]

So what's your name? Unless you rather I just keep calling you kid...

"Well, I for one am feeling all sort of warm and fuzzy." Except that she's not, she's feeling on alert and as though she's missing a huge and horrible part of the puzzle.

"I suppose he's collecting blue." It's an off-handed remark, a bit of a joke, but not really. She doesn't want to be funny enough to remember. But she's still toying with the strands of blue beads that she now has wrapped around one hand. Because blue is easy. She's good at giving and good at getting and it can be over in minutes when necessary.

Her other hand has the red beads wrapped around her fingers, also just as easy for her. She picks up her vodka and swallows down the rest of it, inhaling through her nose and savouring the burn in the back of her throat.

I tried to get to know her before I met her.

[By being a creepy, other-plane stalker and watching her sleep. :|]

[Chick was wandering the streets, a grin on his face, munching on something, a bottle of beer in his other hand.

Hell, he never expected this after springing from the joint.]

[ There's a sense of unease about him-- as if he does not know if he should be grateful for the release of his bonds or wary. He doubts Odin would allow such a thing so soon-- but he has been told nothing of why he was released. He could feel something off in his body the moment he was able to think through the haze-- the lack of magic swirling through his veins, the absence of the familiar tingle at his fingertips. Perhaps this was his punishment, time amongst the Midgardians stripped of his magic, forced to live the short life of a Mortal. He did not know what he would do if it came to that-- but for now he would try and learn as much as he could about is new position.

He wanders for a bit-- but it seems most are preoccupied with more intimate activities to offer him much of an true explanation. There is a moment where he gives pause, as if he has the desire to toss things around, to break things for the fact it might bring him answers-- but it also might bring attention to him that he does not want. He doesn't know what to make of such a place-- or even the new pressure of thoughts in his own mind. He's never felt anything other than disdain preceded by apathy toward the mortals; why would such other sensations bother to arise now?

He swats away a few pair of beads that a few others attempt to string on him, a custom he is unfamiliar with and chooses to ignore. It is of course the lightest bump that finally snaps him to attention, swinging around and raising an arm as if to snatch a wrist or shoulder, ]


What is the meaning of all of this?

( ooc: Here's a crudely assembled kink list. Feel free to ask about anything unlisted; but truth be told I'm pretty much game for anything! )
americanpie: (heybro)

[personal profile] americanpie 2012-10-22 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[And it's that bump that nearly makes Chick Prigusivac drop the hot dog he's been munching on.]

Hey, hey! Watch it, skipper, there's folks walking here.

[Was there an "easy way" there? He seemed to remember the word "required" now that he was thinking back and actually recalling things he heard during the orientation.

That might not have been the actual word used, but whatever was said was hinting pretty heavily at that.

Required to have sex. In a city that puts pleasure above all else.

Son of a bitch, that was actually a pretty scary thought to some one who barely even knew what kind of person he was attracted to, let alone the first thing about sex beyond what it was. Sure he had his shallow teenage ideas (hot, devilish women? Cute shy girls? Yes please), but he was catching on to the fact that those weren't going to fly here for long.

Fuck. Again.

The question finally snapped him back to reality, forcing him to shake his head free of the thoughts. He could deal with being pissed off later.]


Oh. Sorry. Rin Okumura.
bloodbrothers: (And winning is his mein)

[personal profile] bloodbrothers 2012-10-22 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Not everyone finds comfort in the eye of the storm. [ He was far better suited to chaos than the peacefulness oft offered. It matters little, however, as he knows it's simple semantics when one gets down to it. ]

I mean simply that such a situation suited you, or you behave as if it does.

[He just spent the last few days fighting for his free will.]

Another thing we've got in common.

[personal profile] darkasnight 2012-10-23 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He just smiles. Poor kid.]

Nice to meet you, Rin, even if the situation isn't that ideal. You can call me Night.

[He then slings an arm around his shoulder and tugs him along as he starts to walk.] So tell me about yourself! I think you're the first half-demon I've met who keeps his tail out like that. That's like asking to get it stomped on.
bloodbrothers: (His heart is foul with spite)

[personal profile] bloodbrothers 2012-10-23 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a spark of recognition there, a pause in his step-- but he does not see the same in return. It causes his head to cock to the side, a curious sort of expression taking over his face, ] Agent Barton? [ Because it's that which brings familiarity to him. Loki had trouble believing it was so when the reaction is entirely too passive. ]

Skipper?
nauticalnarr8or: (commence grand celebr8ions!)

[personal profile] nauticalnarr8or 2012-10-23 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She beams.]

It does suit! I'm not too ashamed to admit I boxed myself in a bit, at home. Metaphorically, of course. I haven't felt this free since I was fifty, with naught but a single ship and a sword to my name.
americanpie: (hehe)

[personal profile] americanpie 2012-10-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Who?

[Nope. No recognition, there.]

Sorry, skipper, I think you've got the wrong guy.
keepsthefire: ([✠] ... you wanna do what with what?)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2012-10-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Erf what walking-- ... okay then. Not a lot of room to protest, and it seems like Night is looking out for his best interests.

Maybe.

Leave it to Rin to be suspicious of some one who looks like he could be his older brother.

And not one of the creepy demon king ones.

The question startles him right back out of his wandering thoughts again, and he realizes something - that's an exorcist jacket.

Not exactly the style he was used to, but still pretty damn close.]


... you're an exorcist?

[Wait, did Night not know who he was? Hadn't Mephisto told everyone about him?]
bloodbrothers: (But when that storm God you all praise)

[personal profile] bloodbrothers 2012-10-23 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Fifty? [ And that catches his attention-- as she hardly looks fifty, but Loki is a prime example of such things. If she is past fifty then she is probably not mortal, which catches his attention more so than her dancing had moments before. ]

Is that so?
darkasnight: (11)

[personal profile] darkasnight 2012-10-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mhmm! [He fishes for something in the inside of his jacket before pulling out his ID card, showing off his status as an Investigator First Class Exorcist...

For the Blue Cross Order.]
I had just finished a mission before coming here. At least I can be thankful for that.
bloodbrothers: (Loki. Spirit of Truth and Lies.)

[personal profile] bloodbrothers 2012-10-23 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ A sneer touches his lips as he reaches out, attempting to snag a fistful of his top and shorten the distance considerably. Loki has his own sort of humor, but this falls far away from it. ]

Do not toy with me, I am in no mood for games.
