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]

You don't really, until it happens.

[ He goes suspiciously silent at that. ]

[kingside]

[His eyes are back on Setsuna's face in an instant at that remark, but he isn't about to ask. A statement like that...

Gradually, his gaze slides back to the floor.]

I have a gun, at least. [Because it had been so helpful earlier.] And I won't be wearing this again.

[bursting]

[ Returning to his tea, to distract himself. ]

Did you notice it was broken?

[kingside]

Broken?

[He sets his sandwich down, draws the gun again, and... goddamn it.]

What did you do to it?

[bursting]

[ Yeah, he'll just be gently taking it from you, setting his tea aside and working on restoring the trigger with a sigh. Carefully, mind you. He's not quite stupid enough to set it off by accident and shoot either of them in the leg as a result. ]

This isn't going to work, Lelouch. You're going to wind up hurt within an hour, like this.

[kingside]

[He's seeing this, yes, but that doesn't mean he can't still be indignant about it. Case in point--]

I was doing just fine until you came along. You make it sound like I'm going to be assaulted the second I step out that door.

[bursting]

[ Besides the fact you were assaulted the second you got near someone else? Let's be real, Lelouch, you have no idea what the hell you're doing here. ]

I'm keeping an eye on you regardless. [ A few moments longer, and click. Fully functioning trigger again. ] It's nonnegotiable.

[kingside]

[The fact that this is more or less the outcome he'd been hoping for is little consolation; Setsuna didn't have to be so insulting about it. He also didn't have to break the damn gun to prove a point, even if he had been considerate enough to fix it. Lelouch would have been able to do so himself, of course, but...

He snatches the gun from Setsuna's hands again the moment it's back in working order, turning it over once or twice but not, as much as he wants to, pointing it at the other man in the room.]

And how do you propose you'll do that?

[bursting]

[ Now look who's asking stupid questions. ]

How do you think?

[kingside]

You can't shadow me constantly.

[bursting]

Why not? Going to shoot me?

[kingside]

It's impractical.

[bursting]

What? Shooting me?

[kingside]

You stalking me. Do you want me to shoot you?

[bursting]

[ And again, seriously: ]

Are you going to?

[kingside]

I will if I need to.

[bursting]

[ Undeterred: ]

Then I'll take my chances.

[ Now eat your damn sandwich. ]

[kingside]

... First you threaten me, now you pledge to protect me. Are you always this self-contradictory, Setsuna F. Seiei?

[Not that he's complaining, even if he does still object to being viewed as fragile and a likely future victim of sexual assault. This does simplify matters, though; he'd anticipated much more probing before Setsuna would actually agree to being his bodyguard.

And fine, he'll eat his damn sandwich, but only if you drink your damn tea.]

[bursting]

[ Drinking it like the classy motherfucker he is, then. ]

Are you always this arrogant?

[kingside]

That depends on who you ask.

[bursting]

I'm asking you.

[kingside]

Then I would have to say that it isn't arrogance so much as poise and confidence.

[bursting]

[ He actually laughs a little. Well-done, Lelouch. ]

[kingside]

[He allows himself a tiny smile in return, then refocuses on his sandwich. God forbid Setsuna actually start to think he might be starting to lower his guard around him.]

[bursting]

[ No. Just whatever's in that sandwich.

Hint: it's more than just sandwich. Don't look at him, though, he's perfectly innocent. For once. Kind of wants more tea, though. Kind of wants a lot more of that tea because it is indeed relaxing. Humming to himself: ]

I don't think white's really your color, though.
