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]

[bursting]

[ Yep, definitely feisty. He'd grin if it were his sort of thing. Instead, he'll just quietly laugh. ]

You're right, Chi-Chi. You're obviously a true fighter. I'm sorry I implied otherwise.

[princessbride]

Apology accepted.

[Though grinning broadly is her thing, she's not quite up to it, yet. Maybe when all the anger is sapped out of her and the microchip has won her over. For now, though, he'll get a warm nod his way.]

You know, you're not so bad, either. When you get better at reading your opponent and seeing through [snrk] feminine charm, you'll be a skilled fighter.

[bursting]

[ You remind him of Sumeragi. And Tieria. Or a mix of the two. Which is a good thing, by the way. It never hurts to be reminded of home. ]

Is that what it was?

[ No comment on the "skilled fighter" bit, but he'll smirk a little. ]

But I guess you're right. It's pretty hard to defend yourself against something you can't even see.

[princessbride]

[Oh no you didn't. Chi-Chi crosses her arms, flipping her hair with the skill only such sassy ladies have developed. It's an art.]

I know you've already fallen for me, but you don't have to be coy about it.

[...it's really hard to tell if she's joking about this.]

Just remember I'm a married woman.

[bursting]

[ He totally le did, girlfriend. And you can just dealwithit.chi-chi because he is so not apologizing for that. ]

I'll remember. Don't worry.

[princessbride]

I'm serious!

[And with that, she gives him a once over.

No, not checking him out, but-]

You need to get cleaned up.

[bursting]

I know.

[ So was he! Honest.

And glancing down, because oops, kind of sticky/sweaty/hot/oops my collar just kind of opened how did that even happen heh now. Point taken. ]

I would've worn different clothes if I knew I'd be sparring beforehand.

Or dodging dishes.

[princessbride]

[Men. She goes into the sash around her gi and pulls out a handkerchief.]

Here. You can at least get the dirt off your face.

[Here less than a few hours and already mommying everyone.]

[bursting]

Hm.

[ Tilting his head at it, but taking it anyway. ]

Isn't this considered a romantic gesture in some cultures?

[ He's actually not even teasing. He's just literally that dense. Goku with a different face and name, ladies and gentlemen. Also, he said your tits are awesome, got a problem with it? ]

[princessbride]

I wouldn't know anything about that.

[She looks a bit irritated at that. It will take a while for her to build up the same immunity she had for him]

I told you to not read into it! I'm just being nice.

[just like her tits are pretty nice amirite?]

[bursting]

[ He'll smile faintly at her. So tsun tsun, little lady, and dense as he is, even he can realize when someone's playing hard-to-get. He has no idea what to actually do with tits, okay, but they're still pretty nice. Just saying. ]

And if I decide to keep this? Going to fight me for it?

[princessbride]

[She INVENTED tsun. Only she'd totally beat up all those second rate tsunderes and their BAKAS.

At his questions, she rolls her eyes.]

Why would you think I'd want it back? Keep it.

[bursting]

[ Huh. Say that again, but accounting for the fact that he speaks Gundam better than he does any other language. ]

But isn't it yours?

[princessbride]

[Oh. Is this another one raised in the wilderness?]

Handkerchiefs are sort of personal. Once somebody else uses it, you don't really want it back.

[She's trying to give a friendly gesture here. Don't ruin the moment and have her flipping tables again.]

[bursting]

[ Does in the desert/in the middle of space count? Because if so, yes. ]

Well...

[ Alright. Gesture accepted. +1 earnest smile for you, Chi-Chi. ]

Thank you. For that kindness. I won't forget it.

[ Is your heart exploding with doki doki yet because this is clearly the smoothest criminal in the art of seduction you'll ever know. ]

[princessbride]

[Close enough. But damn it, that smile is just so cute that she can't even be annoyed.

Instead, she gives him a little look. Okay, maybe the tiniest of smiles gets thrown his way. He's kind of like a stupid, bishounen puppy.]

...you're welcome. You can repay me somehow later.

[She's not usually one who does that sort of thing, but favors may be useful is she doesn't find a way out-

But she is going to find a way out, and she's feeling it in her bones. Well, that's not exactly accurate. Now that she's not angry and not being challenged to a fight, she feels antsy. Nervous, somehow, that she needs to be doing something.]

[bursting]

[ Again, kind of like Goku here in that he manages that stupid, bishounen puppy stuff without consciously trying to. But he's flattered by your observations, honestly. Might need a little elaboration on what a bishounen actually is and insist he is an Innovator, thank you, not an animal of the canine variety, but flattered nonetheless.

And now he will actually be using said handkerchief, because yeah, he's plenty dirty and he's not vain or anything close to it, but walking around with grime and grit on his face is not preferred. ]

Are you alright? You seem nervous about something.

[ Not he isn't feeling a familiar ping in his brain, too, one of notably more sexual interest. But his self-restraint is easily comparable to her beloved Goku's, at least when he's not being actively threatened, so while he's not opposed to sex he definitely won't be jumping her. Not only out of politeness, but also since that's a one-way stop to ass-kicked town, population: Setsuna. ]

[princessbride]

Huh?

[Chi-Chi has been a little bit out of it for a moment, but she's brought back by his words. There's something off about her whole countenance, and she can tell it. She's a bit...sluggish, almost, in her thought process. It's giving her a feeling of whiplash.

But she has to focus, and the idea of forging onward and finding out what she needs to do to get home is an anchor. Still, there's an almost primal force edging up in her brain, though she can't put a name to it. Usually, she'd be horrified at that, but now?

Well, while she's not jumping his bones (the chip still has to eat through her loyalty and fidelity to her husband, though it's pretty damn close), there's a certain softness to her reactions to him she wouldn't normally allow.]

Not nervous. I feel kind of unsettled. I never really like to dilly dally. I need to be doing something.

[bursting]

[ Setsuna, by his very nature, might just be handling it better. They'd both trained, obviously, but Setsuna had been specifically trained into controlling his body, regulating temperature, muscle reflex, and also to resist any and all forms of interrogation. Sexual coercion into revealing information is a possibility already considered and accounted for by his organization. Setsuna's not going down (on)(someone) easily in that regard.

Still, she's not alone in sensing that something's off. But rather than pace or fidget nervously on his feet, he just sits, props himself up against the nearest wall, and unbuttons his shirt a little to let in some much needed air, setting his forehead against the handkerchief and shutting his eyes. Breathing deep, in, out, in, out. Better. ]

Rest awhile, then. [ Half an invitation to join him, half not. It's up to her if she takes him up on the half offer. ] It might be best to calm your nerves. You can start up again soon.

[princessbride]

[...going down on someone, eh?

BUT ANYWAY.

Chi-Chi considers her options. After that little scuffle, her energy is down. Going on full blast may be a futile effort, and even she in her "go ahead and beat everything in my way" judgement can see that.]

I don't think I could ever be calm in this hell hole, but I'll try to rest.

[She's sitting down beside him...but with a respectable distance, of course. She's a lady. Rather than join him in opening any articles of clothing, she'll be taking down her hair from its ponytail and working on cleaning herself up.]

...ugh, I should have thought about how dirty I'd get. At least I don't have anywhere fancy to be.

[bursting]

[ Good decision, Chi-Chi, and he'll flash his own hints of a not quite but close smile at you when you settle down at his side. And respecting your personal space, of course. You are indeed a lady and he would never even think to be untoward, chip be damned. He'll literally punch himself out before doing so.

Her hair does look nice down, though, and he might be admiring it a little more openly than he ordinarily would have. Nice color, too, like his but richer and not as scraggy. So maybe that mutt comparison wasn't too far off. ]

I don't think people really care about clothes too much here. [ Or rather they care more about removing them than keeping them on. ] But I think you look fine.

[ Feel free to hilariously misinterpret that, but it was a genuine compliment, not a genuine effort to get into her gi. No mascara and eyeliner necessary for Setsuna to be interested; all roughed up is a good look for a girl, in his view. ]

[princessbride]

[Genuine compliment or not, it's not actually something she's used to. Being married to the strongest man in the world has it perks; her appearance being noticed is not one of those. Her eyes widen a fraction, and there may be the tiniest blush. After all, it's actually nice and not overtly sexual.

No. No. No, no blush. It's a flush, okay?]

Thanks. [And she means it. Even if she's not obsessed with looking perfect or stylish like Bulma, neatness counts.] I do hope there's a shower here.

[Wait.]

A shower meant for cleaning off, anyway. [Not for other shenanigans.

Huh, why would she even think that way, though?]

[bursting]

We should do it together.

[ Wait. ]

...look for one, that is.

Looking for one is what I meant.

[ Yeah let's just wait for that embarrassment to pass because seriously, where did that even come from? Sorry, Chi-Chi. That innuendo was definitely unintentional. Probably. In any event, see keywords for current train of thought. ]

[princessbride]

[Good catch there, Sets. But still. Too bad it came after the most innuendo to ever in your endo. Honestly, it wasn't even innuendo as much as it was outright...saying it.

So just this face. This face. Always this face.

Give her a moment to NOT HIT YOU for being stupid.]

...fine, if you promise to be more careful with what you say! [She actually leans in to hiss:] These creeps could get ideas.

[...that is, if he's not a creep.]

[bursting]

[ Dammit, woman, get that tsun out of your dere, he doesn't know how to handle it. But fine, he'll avert his eyes, a silent way of saying oops. He messed up that time, alright, he might be considerably well-mannered than most but he's still a guy and you're still an attractive woman, okay?

Also, maybe he likes that face. What now, huh? ]

Yes, ma'am. [ You've got him whipped already, Chi-Chi. Not bad. ] And I understand.
