Test Drive Meme: The Overflow

[arielmods]

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: <small>(<a href="THREAD URL HERE">Continued from here.</a>) between <user name="CHARACTER 1"> & <user name="CHARACTER 2"></small> Response here! 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!	USEFUL LINKS: [Premise] [Rules] [F.A.Q.] [Locations] [Local Citizens (NPC)] [Taken] [Wanted] [Reserves] [Application] [Main] [Logs] [OOC]

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.

[nauticalnarr8or]

[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.

[bloodbrothers]

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?

[nauticalnarr8or]

I can see your ears, boy, I know you heard me.

[But there's more playfulness in her voice than real disdain.]

[bloodbrothers]

Aye, I did, though I have been told asking a lady her age is frowned upon, is it not? [ And there's an amused smile threatening to tug at his lips. ] Though you hardly look near fifty, let alone well past it-- so forgive my... ah, lack of tact on the subject? [ And it's a mixture of manners and that serpentine tongue that garner such polite speech. He's curious, in a strange land and attempting to gauge his own footing amongst those he finds. ]

Are you of this place? [ For she does not look it, that much is clear. ]

[nauticalnarr8or]

Is it frowned upon here, then? I'm no ochre-blooded mayfly; I have centuries of sweeps yet before my fate falls due. But there's a ruddy tint to the humans I've seen so far; I can see how polite conversation might come to shy away from any mention of it.

[She shakes her head.]

Hardly. No doubt it will be the fashion in extravagant costume within the week, but I'm here in my own skin. Barring a few necessary substitutions, of course.

[She wriggles the fingers of her mechanical arm in a small, demonstrative wave.]

And you?

[bloodbrothers]

[ The arm takes his interest; it reminds him of one of the Midgardians he had done battle with, though hers seems to be more of necessity than desire. A curious thing and he wonders about the inner workings-- be they magic or "science". Still, that is not a topic for discussion, at least not at the moment. ]

I hail from somewhere very different form this place-- as do many others that I have crossed paths with. Most have no desire to be here; but I was curious as you seemed most pleased.

[nauticalnarr8or]

As I said, I found my opportunities at home quite dwindled, of late. I needed for a new adventure, and this will suit well enough.

[She reaches down with her right hand, living grey skin lighter than the metal of the other.]

Come up and dance with me, and tell me of your own homeland, then.
