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!

[ The presence of the chip gives her fits. She can feel it throbbing in her mind, a bit of twisted metal against the meat and red and life that's built her from the bottom. She scratches at her scalp, tangles her hair, stalks through the streets thinking I should be back in my tower and not thinking that she can breathe free without the choke of sulfure and fire-smoke... And there's no one here to tell her what she can't do.

She steps up to a stall, regal, chin raised. Runs her fingers over braided leather, and hums, in consideration. ]


I want to test this.

[ And once the shopkeeper agrees, she focuses her eyes on a particular person in the crowd and crooks her finger. Come here.

They told her pleasure is the point. She might as well take some. ]





[ OOC: This is gonna go kinky. She's very fickle, so she can be open to gentle persuasion or to some pretty fierce on your knees right now or else. Let me know what kind of kinks you'd be looking for! ]

deeply fucked up is how we roll here, ma'am

[ And Setsuna stops immediately.

Setsuna had been mingling in the crowd, keeping his eyes out for anything suspicious. That's when she looks at him, or rather leers at him as though he's just another meal, just another victim for her pleasure. He can't say he's not drawn to her and all that she is, but Setsuna is not a man easily coerced. He knew better.

He will tilt his head, indicate a small degree of interest, but otherwise remain at distance. She'll need to try harder than that, ramp up her influence a bit more, to get him to come any closer.

Take your pleasure, Persephone, if you dare. If you're willing to fight for it. ]


(( Kink list is on his journal! I'm super into femdom/BDSM/leather/whips/etc., so I'd love to that play that out with you if it's your bag, since it seems like that's what you're gunning for. Just expect Setsuna to resist. ))

[ He does not come when she calls, and that, that is a crime. In Hell, she would have her servants tortured for that. Or she would grow a tree through their spines and see how they liked it, if they liked it never being able to serve anyone again.

She stalks through the crowd, and sends the whip with a flick of her wrist. It is not to strike, not this time; it goes around his neck instead, a quick onetwothree wraparound. She jerks him towards her, an attempt to get him off his feet, and sprawled at hers. ]


When a queen calls, it is best to answer.

baby you can get on my bandwagon anytime winkwink nudgenudge

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-18 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Setsuna's committed worse crimes than ignoring a self-proclaimed lady. Try terrorism, murder, vandalism, grand theft mecha, and that's just a typical week for the man.

He certainly does not expect, however, for her to lash out so quickly, and thus is effectively restrained by the whip. But although he's taken by surprise, eyes flying open as a result, he manages to keep his footing. He may not be a god or anything of the sort, in fact spits on them and spits on her for presuming that means a damn in his book, but he is strong.

And he is not human, either, indicated by the immediate flash of gold in his eyes. ]


Your title is irrelevant here.

[ Just as he'd told a certain someone else earlier. His blade is drawn, and he'll be attempting to cut through that whip, thanks. ]

Drop it or I'll drop you.

[ No games with this one. You do it, or you don't, and meet swift retribution. ]

[ Better.

The whip will not stand up to steel, of course. Another flick of her wrist, and it unwinds.

And there is a shopkeeper who protests the rough use of unsold wares -- she waves him into silence, and, to her vague surprise, he does fall silent.

She could disarm him with it, she supposes. It wouldn't be too hard. ]


Come play, then. Unless you're scared your steel isn't good enough.

[ A laugh, at this, and she chews on the fingernails of her left hand -- a giggle like a schoolgirl. She enjoys the double meaning. There's steel, and then there's steel. ]

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-18 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Thanks. Though, again, not caring what you happen to think of his abilities so long as you sod off and drop the dominatrix act. He'll gladly follow women who are competent, charge into an entire army at their order, but he will not be intimidated by one—or by a man, for what it's worth.

Setsuna could take the bait, but doesn't. Instead, he waits for her to make another move, to dare to attack him. Setsuna reacted to violence with violence, but he will not initiate it so long as she's learned her lesson. Shaking his head: ]


There's eyes everywhere here. If you cause a scene, they'll detain you.

[ Indeed, an officer is watching them carefully off to the side. He's not opposed to defending his life if need be, however he'd rather not spend the night in a jail cell for cutting her throat open. If she presses him to do so. ]

[personal profile] eleusive 2012-10-19 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I cause the kind of scenes they should like.

[ Not even a flicker of concern for the officers. She doesn't need to be told how nice pleasure is. She's had millenia to do that...

She moves closer, runs her fingers over his neck -- look, she's left a mark. The thought makes her a little excited. ]


There are so many things I want to try... come on. I'll make you feel.

[ Feel good and bad -- but once you get enough of both, it's like flying. Or so they say. She's never been touched. ]

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Bluntly: ]

Is that supposed to convince me?

[ Because it doesn't, or at least not enough for him to bow to her whims as she so clearly desires. He will allow the touching, but he's also watching the officer closely, keeping his voice low. Marking he does not mind, but drawing unnecessary attention is, again, an outcome to be avoided when his primary goal is subterfuge and surveillance. ]

We're not doing it in public.

[ Period, full stop, do not pass go, do not collect x number of dollars. He'll follow if she leads, maybe, but it has to be away from here. ]

If too much godmoding, lemme know, happy to edit

[personal profile] eleusive 2012-10-19 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Good boy.

[ She's pleased, immediately, on the balls of her feet with anticipation. Takes his hand and drags him towards the testing room -- and there are envious glances. Of course there are. She's beautiful, after all. She's the most beautiful creature in all the universes.

She plucks a few bits of merchandise off the shelf -- bindings here, a ring here, a collar.

Closes the door behind them, and locks it. And gives him an airy wave. ]


Clothes off. We don't have all day.

Nope, you're good! Feel free to rough him up plenty, too, just keep the major body parts in-tact.

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-19 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ And he's dragged. Very, very reluctantly. While he doesn't disagree she's beautiful now that he's had a chance to look at her, flawless skin and hair and physique many of those staring men and women would kill for, he objects to her ego, and that careless use of boy. He's a man of some years, not many, but enough, and he'd stopped being a boy the moment he'd picked up a gun and shot someone for the very first time.

Setsuna's eyes, still glowing a faint gold, leer at the shut door briefly, before trailing back to her. ]


I don't take orders from you.

[ Boy's got a mouth. You can try to fix it, but... well, good luck with that. You've already seen the knife and the skill with which he wields it. Best be wary of it, as he's no qualms using it to its fullest now that they're in private. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea on your part. ]

You do now.

[ The whip it is. She curls it between her fingers and tests the give of it. It's so fresh. She prefers hers worn in.

Same with servants.

She cracks the whip. ]


Show me that little needle-knife again.

[ If he pulls it, this time, she'll aim the whip at his wrist -- to catch him, break his grip. ]

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-19 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't. ]

I don't want to hurt you.

[ Not wanting to hurt her doesn't mean he won't, however. He'll nudge himself back towards the door, putting more distance between them. Try using your manners, Persephone, and he might be more inclined to listen. Aggressiveness is the wrong tactic to use to get what you want. ]

[personal profile] eleusive 2012-10-19 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I'm the one hurting you.

[ It just seems logical to her.

Nope, she's staying between you and the door. Now that she has one person's attention, she's not giving it up. She never does. ]


Come on, I'll be nice too. Like a rose, with pretty thorns. I grow roses.

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-19 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Being hurt Setsuna is alright with. Might even like it on some morbid level he tries to keep hidden from view, but has reluctantly embraced, especially with the chip guiding his thoughts in that direction.

Unexpectedly, however, the flowers are what catch his attention most of all, get him to relax, if only minutely. Good girl, Persephone, Setsuna is good at listening so long as you don't push your luck. ]


Tell me about the roses.

[ And yes, fine, mack all over him and use the whip if you're so inclined, but carefully. He's still wary, a cornered animal ready to pounce if given adequate reason. ]

[ And she is satisfied. Her chin lifts, half-petulant and half-regal, and she pushes a hand against his chest, walking him back towards the lounge in the center of the room, in lieu of a bed. ]

They grew wherever I stepped... but now someone took that away. Took it away and touched me with metal things. I never liked the Smith, and I like him even less now.

[ A little shove to knock him back. ]

[personal profile] bursting 2012-10-19 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ He lets it slide. Getting shoved onto a piece of furniture is a considerable improvement from getting whipped in public, and obediently, because you're no longer threatening him with said whip, he settles back, as directed. ]

Who did? The Smith? Who are they?

[ And who are you, his eyes ask, though his mouth doesn't. Too personal, considering how they got off on an awfully wrong foot, but he's curious. Roses wherever she stepped? That's not something you hear or see everyday. ]
flowersteps: (When we come back)

Kinky you say?

[personal profile] flowersteps 2012-10-19 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[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!]
