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!

[ And that's a voice he knows even though it's not one Reno thought to hear in this place. So have a look Tseng; one comprised heavily of 'what the actual fuck?' before he shrugs and steals his drink from the bartender's hand. ]

This isn't a fucking vacation. Those usually don't include chip implants unless that crazy prick Hojo is doing the planning. [A beat. ] So you got dragged here too, Boss.

[Pro tip Reno, always expect Tseng to show up where and when you least expect him.]

I doubt Hojo would allow anyone this much personal freedom.

[He's not even going to respond to that question, Reno because if he hadn't been dragged here he wouldn't be here sitting next to you.]

So you don't find the fact that the general population is open and receptive to offers of an intimate nature from anyone and everyone an interesting concept to explore? I didn't peg you for the hermit type, I guess I was wrong.

[he takes a sip of his drink to punctuate the joke.]

I don't call a microchip stuck on the late night porn channel imbedded in my brain freedom.

[ In fact it downright annoys him. Much like Tseng's apparent calm over the whole thing annoys him. It shouldn't, Tseng isn't the kind to get worked up, rattled, but hey he's in a mood after sitting with that damn counselor. Dude is weird. ]

Other than that I don't have many problems with it.

[ Yes it came down to the authority thing since there are only two people that Reno chooses to obey in any form or fashion. ]

You're not at least a little pissed over this shit?

Would you rather it played something for three year olds then, or have to listen to Palmer laugh incessantly? You'll get used to it eventually, as it's likely supposed to help people get over the culture shock of this place a little easier.

[He shrugs a little with one shoulder.]

It isn't worth the energy to be angry about it until there's more information. This isn't an overtly hostile situation, and while it may upset some people's... delicate sensitivities about sex there's nothing truly horribly wrong about the way they do things here.

True, I'm not pleased with the fact that medical procedures have been done without my written consent or knowledge but we are foreign visitors and I can understand the desire to make sure we're not carrying diseases with us or something of that nature.

[He raises an eyebrow, gauging Reno for a long moment.]

I'd prefer it if you treat this as an extended diplomatic venture, we have no reason to disturb their government or cause problems for people.

[ No, Tseng, he'd rather it not be there at all, and the look on his face - irritated and almost pissed - says just as much.

But then he sighs and sinks a little more against the back of the bar stool with his arms cast around it. ]

Visitors. Diplomatic way a' sayin' kidnapped.

[ His grin is thin, razor sharp even as one brow arches up and he looks over at Tseng. ] Z'at an order?

[ Because suggestions and orders are two entirely different things. ]

[Tseng's look in reply is one of empathy, 'since when do Turks get to decide what happens to them?' and 'suck it up and deal'.]

It's a suggestion. Like suggesting that white paintballs on a window look more like bird droppings than spitballs against Heidigger's office window.

[Meaning it's on that fine line between the two, but Tseng would really appreciate it if he did.]

Edited 2012-10-23 13:59 (UTC)

[ It might as well be an order since getting on Tseng's bad side is just not a place Reno wants to be. However...]

I reserve all self defense rights.

[ Granted his definition of that is broader than most's, but hey Turks are not known for taking shit either even if they do follow orders. Unless that shit is coming from higher up the ladder that is. ]

Naturally.

[There's a long silence as he takes a drink and watches the crowd for a moment.]

Speaking of, we should have a spar at some point. We haven't worked together this closely in quite some time and I could use the reminder of your style.

[ Good. He can live with that. ]

You're the Boss.

[ It's been awhile since he's the mat with Tseng, and right now he's edgy enough to start it right here in the bar. That'd be his style after all. However he doesn't think Bossman would approve of that particular course of action. ]

Name the time and place.

[He mulls it over for a moment, finishing his drink.]

What are the terms of victory and prize?

You're gonna let me pick both? [ There must be a catch here. ] First one to give. And prize depends on if you want to go native.

I have no plan on going easy on you, so letting you chose what you lose seems fair.

[There's a quirk of a smirk across his face.]

I'm not opposed to it, if it's what you want.
