 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. 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 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. | |

[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.]
no subject
[Mello notices him move closer. A terrible idea. They are supposed to be conducting research, taking notes, developing a plan to bring down the city. Proximity is going to be too much of a deterrent from the mission. Mello knows he needs to take a step away, to increase distance once more so they can return the conversation from petty, trivial matters that have absolutely no value to the goal.
He doesn't. He lingers next to Dean, though he keeps his attention ahead — tries to stay focused on the path, the few people they pass, anything that is even remotely relevant to learning about the city.
They brush arms — such a simple contact, and yet Mello finds it extremely distracting. Uncharacteristically so. Before Ariel — before the chip — he would never have been so easily derailed.]
You'd look good in leather.
no subject
[Dean counters with an easy smile. It's not like it isn't completely obvious that he's been thinking it. It's not like his looks have been subtle.
The slight touch elicits a shiver and he's inclined to let it happen again, enjoying the brush of skin on skin.]
no subject
[Yes, Mello has seen those looks, has participated in those nonverbal exchanges, despite his better judgement — despite logic. He's going to cut this stupid chip out of his head the first chance he gets...but for now, it's in there, stuck, influencing his thoughts, making him behave in ways he normally wouldn't. And that's why he returns that smile, enjoys that skin-to-skin contact, and makes no effort to return to business as he normally would — as he should.]
no subject
[It wasn't the reason entirely. He'd answered truthfully where he'd go next if he were looking for the answers Mello wanted. He's not going to deny that the location has its benefits, though.]
What are my odds of convincing you to seek out a little more privacy with me?
no subject
It depends on how persuasive you are.
[But in reality, Mello's mind is already made up. If this will help clear his head so he can get back to trying to figure this city out, then fine. He'll do what it takes, and try not to think too much about the fact that he does want this — that it really won't require that much convincing at all.]
