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!

[As soon as he has it, Tony takes a swig from the bottle, letting it coat his tongue for a moment before he swallows it and relishes the familiar burn.

It's good, a little sweet and nothing he recognizes but he's had a lot worse. A lot worse. He may regularly import bottles that cost more than some people's yearly salaries but that doesn't mean that he'd never found himself in the corner of a run down bar drinking whatever he could get his hands on at certain points in his life.]

Sure, if you're into nyquil.

[He hasn't had anything that sweet in a very long time, but, at this point in time, he's a little jealous of Dean's blood alcohol level.

He hands the bottle back.]

Is someone handing these out for free, or what? Where'd you get it?

[Dean takes the bottle back with an amused snickers. He could be drinking NyQuil right now and not realize it. Whiskey is a harsh mistress.]

Yep. Every time I turn around, someone's handing me a drink.

[He pushes himself up and waves Tony to his feet.]

C'mon. I'll show you. I'm gonna need a refill soon anyway.

[Because there's really no reason to stop drinking, at this point, is there?]

[Harsh indeed, he sympathizes, but he's hoping he's never taken the dive into cough syrup and then just forgotten about it. Most likely not, probably.

It's strange, after having it at his fingertips for such a long time now, the absence of his suit is really making itself known. He's vulnerable all over again, though he has no reason what so ever to believe that following someone is going to lead him somewhere unwanted, but no one can blame him for being a little wound up after everything that's just happened in the last two and a half days.

The last thing you do when you're feeling out of your element though is let anyone in on it, so he stands and gestures for Dean to lead the way. Part of him can't tell whether Dean's happy, or really, really upset about this place, but everyone has their reasons and he doesn't really care about them. Considering the circumstances, there's really no point in not drinking, no.]

It's like spring break meets St. Patrick's day around here, what do you bet we could find a couple of beer hats?

[It isn't the place he's trying to drink away, but he's not going to talk about that. In fact, the place is a pleasant enough distraction, so he can't really complain too much, aside from the chip in his brain which... really not cool, man.

He wanders over to step into line at another vending stall -- this one with the more typical drinks, he's pretty sure -- and glances back at Tony with an amused look.]

I'd have to be way more drunk than I am now to wear one of those things. I may not have many standards, and the ones I do have are low, but I draw a line at beer hats.

[And here he'd been ready to snap a picture with his brain camera if he could have managed to get one of them onto Dean's head.

He follows him into line, not all that used to following or waiting in lines but here he is living the civilian life. It's not too bad, so far. At least the drinks are free, and the company isn't bad. He's still a little discombobulated, but he's good at pretending that he isn't, and he smirks, because Dean kind of strikes him as the kind of guy who could be coerced into wearing one despite what he's saying.]

Yep- completely inefficient, but, a classic novelty.

[He'd never suggested that they actually use them if they could find them. There's a lot that can be done with those things.]

[Dean can be coerced into a lot of things if someone tries hard enough. Tony seems like just the sort of someone who would, too.

He orders a couple of whiskeys and hands one to Tony when they arrive. They probably wouldn't win any awards back home, but they're not off the bottom shelf, either. Dean's had much, much worse.]

That they are. Tell you what... if you can find some, I'll wear one with you.

[He's not going down that road alone, man!]

[Having someone ordering drinks for him right off the bat isn't helping him jump the gun in adjusting to a world where he's no longer a powerful and rich authority figure, but he's not complaining. At the very least, he'll hold off until he tastes it.

He tips his head slightly, in thanks and perhaps even in toast and then he drinks down a decent mouthful. At least he can always count on the burn of alcohol to stay familiar.]

Guess you better hope I don't start looking.

Hey, man, if beer hats is what gets you off, go for it. I don't judge.

[With a few exceptions, but they don't need to discuss them now.

He carries his glass to a nearby cafe table and takes a seat, nudging another chair out in invitation for Tony to sit.]

[On the contrary, he might appreciate hearing of those exceptions. Not like it's hard to tell that Dean is the kind of guy who still works the party scene when he gets the chance, but he also seems like a hats and funnels sort of guy.

He huffs a small laugh in response to that statement, and takes the invitation to sit, taking another sip of his drink before he speaks up again.]

You got a bead for that?

[He's kidding, completely.]

[Dean grins at the question and lifts a strand of blue from around his neck and holds it out, danging from one finger.]

I'd say it falls under oral, wouldn't you?

[Oral fits the activity, sure, but what about the hat itself?

He fishes in his pocket and comes up with a blue and a pink bead. Though black could fit too just because it's slightly unorthodox. But beer and sex can go together.]

I'd say two for one.

[Dean raises an eyebrow at the reply, his grin getting wider. He reaches out with the extended finger and taps the beads Tony's. holding.]

You might be right. Question is, though... is this information you're simply relaying, an offer, or a challenge?

[Good question. He moved to put the beads back into his pocket, but there was still an amused up-curve to his lips. ]

Information.

[Nothing against Dean, but he hadn't had nearly enough alcohol to start sucking dick in public when he still barely knew where he was. The chip might be influencing him, but he was still managing to keep his priorities straight. He takes another drink then, a few sips. Anything on his list of priorities, he can get done without being sober. Might be easier to process.]

Unless you're gonna show that bottle a good time.

[Because otherwise they're missing the pink to their blue, and that's half the equation already. He's not serious about that though, watching some guy suck on a bottle isn't on his to-do list.]
