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 really his place to tell. Even if he didn't know Umi very well, he respected her enough to keep her info private. He wasn't the deceptive type, not with how innocent and trusting he was.]

You're having trouble with magic too? [Definitely a cause for concern... but they didn't need to fight anyone right now, so it wasn't a problem he needed to solve immediately.] Don't worry, if someone attacks you, I've got your back. [He took out his knife to show her.] I have a weapon too.

I don't feel too good. [Johnny admitted in a strained tone. It was his head that felt fuzzy right after leaving the classroom, but now it was a different problem. He felt hot and uncomfortable. Maybe he was getting a fever?] Dunno... anywhere they're not. [He wasn't very picky. He just wanted to be alone for a while. Umi didn't need to know how he was feeling right now - what his body wanted him to do. Quick, he had to come up with an excuse.] I... think I'll catch up with you later.

[ Not everyone gives respect that easily. It's nice to have met someone both trustworthy and trusting; if everyone closed her off she'd go nuts. Then again... there was a lot of not being closed off going on around here. ]

I don't think I'm too worried about... [ Oh, nice knife. He must come from somewhere dangerous - she's not gonna judge someone for being armed, after everything she's been through. It'd make him look pretty bad in Tokyo proper, but America might just be that dangerous. Or South America. And he's got magic, so he's probably caught up in something... ]

H-hey don't bail on me! [ But that doesn't matter when he's trying to scoot off from her. When he looks like that and she doesn't feel so good either? That... well it's rude, but he's probably trying to not trouble her or something, but despite that she reaches out and latches on to his hand. ]
walking_malice: (Look)

[personal profile] walking_malice 2012-10-18 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if I could use magic, I might be able to cure people from the drug effects. [He slipped his knife back into his jacket and checked on his Crests again. Wait till she heard about the more dangerous parts of New York. Though, it wasn’t too bad back in the 1920s compared to later periods.]

Huh? [The blond was surprised by her grab, but it had the effect of stopping him in place as he looked over at her. He wasn’t rude enough to brush her hand away, even though he probably should have. It just wasn’t a good idea for him to be touched right now.] I don’t wanna… get you sick or anything, Umi. [If his condition was contagious, they’d all be in trouble.]

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-18 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If it's drugs. And not mind control, which is much harder to cure when it's not telling you to kill your friends. Or hey, maybe they've just been here long enough that it seems like the thing to do - when in Rome, do as the Romans do, or so they say.

Umi doesn't intend to live up to that. ]


I already feel funny too, Johnny so... don't worry about that. [ Holding on with that tight grip of hers, she tugs a little to reinforce that he's not allowed to run away. Hey, maybe there are enough thugs that they really could pin her down or something and... stop thinking about that Umi. ]

Let's go somewhere. Together.

[Mind control… he can’t really help with that. Drug effects were kinda like status effects. No wonder their magical abilities had been sealed. Their kidnappers must not want them to help anyone!]

Oh… [He wondered if she had the same urges as him. Wouldn’t that make it worse? Wait, did girls touch themselves too? He shook his head violently to chase away that thought.]

If you’re sure…

[Those thugs are still there, waiting around for fresh meat~ Be careful what you wish for~]

[ 20's America still is probably not as sexually repressed as much of modern Japan but... Umi could answer that question for him sometime. Embarrassing, but hey, so's the whole city.

Johnny doesn't seem to actually be taking them anywhere now that she's grabbed his hand, probably because he's trying to escape and now Umi's starting to think things that make her think that that could've been a good thing. No turning back now though! She'll lead them to... to... privacy? ]


Yeah, I'm sure. I just met someone nice, and you're not leaving me until I find someone else nice. [ Don't make her drag you Johnny. ]

[Dear God. He just might explode from embarrassment. How fast can Johnny’s face turn into the same shade as a tomato?

If she said she was sure, and apparently trusted him, then he’d stay with her. He had no idea what to do about his embarrassing little problem, but they needed to get to a safe place first. Still holding onto her hand, he pulled her away from the perimeter of the festival.]
Wonder what else is out here…

[If there was some nice big terrain to explore – like a forest or a park – that might take their mind off of things. Just being away from those horny people was a huge relief. Although, it didn’t eliminate the problem.]
dragon_blossom: (lol ok)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-18 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That'll depend on whether she just explains it to him, or gives him a demonstration, and THAT will depend on just how far gone she is here. She doesn't like him that much yet, but it's hard to keep her thoughts away from certain things here. There's enough trust to help her protect herself, and to keep her company, though, so Umi's happy to let him lead the way now. ] A lot of buildings, judging by the skyline.

[ It's hard to get horny people off your mind when you are horny people, no matter where you go, and feeling it this strongly is downright foreign to Umi. ]

[aslkfjaawpeo Johnny’s brain is not here right now, please leave a message after the beep. Beeeeeeeeep.

He walked over to the one of said buildings and pulled on the door, frowning.]
…It’s locked. [There was the classroom building he came from initially, but if that strange man was still inside…]

There might be some empty booths in the festival? But it’d be hard to drown out all those noises.
dragon_blossom: (pic#1476520)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-18 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah.

[ Just because it's a sex festival doesn't mean business want people wandering in their back doors. Doing it in a kitchen isn't sanitary. There aren't a lot of places nearby that are at all private or safe or secure, so unless they want to go for a jog... ]

We could try that. Sitting down might help, at least.
walking_malice: (Look)

[personal profile] walking_malice 2012-10-19 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He scratched the back of his head and gave her a sheepish grin.] I didn’t really think they’d care about locking up…

Yeah, okay.

[Back toward the festival they went wandering around, until they were able to find an empty space. It was right between a kissing booth and another booth that looked like people were bobbing for apples. But what was floating in the water didn’t look like apples.

…Johnny wasn’t that curious this time.]


Here. [He motioned Umi toward the back corner, under the overhead where they couldn’t be seen.]

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2012-10-19 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
They're still businesses. [ And they probably make a ton off of being in a town like this. Clothing shops? People tear their clothes going at it. Restaurants? It's supposed to be good exercise, or so she's heard. Maybe the arts and crafts stores don't have much business the rest of the year, but she's sure even they make money off of a big event like this.

Good thing whoever had this booth up hadn't taken it down yet. Umi wonders about the kissing booth, looking at the oddly excited young man standing behind it - handsome too. Must be why he has people walking up... ignoring that ignoring that. ]


Thanks. You sit too.
walking_malice: (Serious)

orz sorry for my late tag DX

[personal profile] walking_malice 2012-10-30 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I wonder if… [He considered the idea for all of two seconds and then came to his senses. It wasn’t like he was planning to stay here for long.] Nah. Probably wouldn’t do any good here.

[The blond nodded and sat next to her.] Got it.

[There were loud, exaggerated kissing noises coming from the booth next to them. Johnny made a face before leaning his head down into his heads, holding it while muttering.] This is crazy… [The last thing he needed right now was to be distracted like this.]
