« « « TEST DRIVE MEME » » »
It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. Yet, solace is found in the lies we tell each other, comforted by the peace of knowing that we're not alone in our depravity, and once on this path, sin itself becomes the lesser of two evils masked in a cloud of normalcy. This is how Duplicity has functioned since the beginning. The divide of power and social standing is overt in that Dominants influence the decisions made both publicly and privately while Submissives cater to the rules presented to them. It is the way of Duplicity to assign random designations at birth with no leeway in altering what has been given. Climate in the Up is far stricter than that of the Down; violating outlined personas for a Dominant or Submissive while in full view of others is punished by degree of infraction. In the Down, many tend to turn a blind eye to these sorts of offenses. To counteract the discovery of the deceit gene – a natural "negative" response to all stimuli – the LIEs program was founded. The program had been designed to introduce new subjects to the current environment and test for the deceit gene through immersion in Duplicity's standing society. Sexual impulses and encounters increase the chances of detecting the gene within these individuals. Participants are typically released from LIEs after a year; however, results have remained unsatisfactory and testing still continues. ... and you're here! Finally! Welcome to Duplicity. After choosing a door and stepping through to the other side, the first thing that greets you are the enthusiastic faces of people in medical scrubs and pristine lab coats. Their enthusiasm translates to eagerness as they strip you of your clothes to perform a thorough examination—you will be healed, bathed, and given a paper gown to wear until your items can be processed and delivered to your residence later in the evening. You are also given a device that accesses the network as well as the time and location of Orientation. If you enter Duplicity into the Up, congratulations! You're a Dominant, which means you are immediately picked up by a limo after processing and taken to your high-rise. Here, it is two Dominants per floor with separate apartments. If you enter Duplicity into the Down, congratulations! You're a Submissive, which means you are directed towards public transportation with the address of the motel you'll be living in. Here, it is two Submissives per room with a shared common space for all rooms. Submissives are provided with a plain black pleather collar to wear and Dominants are given bracelets made of the same black pleather. The simple design is an immediate visual indicator that they have not yet signed a contract and they will be informed that more elaborate or personalized styles are a privilege reserved for those who do. Enjoy your free time until Orientation! Participation is mandatory for all new and past arrivals. Winter is here and snow flurries are common in the Up while the slush collects in the Down. |
 After stepping through the door and participating in Orientation, LIERs are assembled together in the Up for a tour of Duplicity in its entirety. Seats are in pairs and randomly assigned to Dominants and Submissives alike. Traveling from Fiddler's Square, the train journeys through various parts of the Up, showcasing society and examples of lifestyle. Along the way, frequent stops are made; a variety of passengers can be seen exiting and entering the doors. A Dominant with a kneeling Submissive takes a seat near the front of the train at one stop. A small group of Submissives board and sit closer to the LIERs at another, all seemingly content in their roles. As the tour continues through the Up, the train passes close to the Market and White Wall Bridge and zips by North Park before heading into the Down and bypassing Red Wall Bridge and South Park. The train makes a "final" stop at Riddler's Square, where inhabitants of the Down are instructed to return to their temporary housing. Those who live in the Up are permitted to stay on the train and revisit the same locations while returning. |
 (cw: sensory deprivation, coercion, dub-con/non-con) One of the workshops at this month's Orientation pairs Dominants with Submissives for an exercise in blind chemistry. Literally — they'll all be blindfolded before meeting their partner and the blindfolds must stay on! They will be encouraged to explore with their other senses, such as touch and taste. Kissing is the bare minimum of what's expected, though no one will stop them should they want to take things further… Each pair will get around 10-15 minutes together (unless they really hit things off) before switching to a new partner. Some participants may also be tapped for a secondary exercise in which Submissives remain blindfolded, while Dominants are not. Dominants may do as they wish with them and may choose whether to keep their partner or swap blindfolded Subs back and forth with other Dominants. |
 (cw: aphrodisiacs, public sex) With fresh snowfall blanketing the city in white, a festive winter feeling still hangs in the crisp air. Throughout the Up there are horse-drawn sleigh rides being offered on discount to Dominants and their Submissives to enjoy. Newcomers are also given tickets at Orientation in their goodie bags to use for a ride, so long as they do it with someone else, whether it be a person of the opposite designation or even as a Submissive pair. Just no pairs of Dominants! Sit back, relax, and cuddle up close to your companion as you listen to the sleigh bells and the muffled clip clop of horse hooves through the snow. The weather is finally cold enough for Duplicity's outdoor skating rink to open for the season and it does so with free skate rentals, so long as skaters attend as a Dom/Sub pair. It's common to see pairs skating together, holding hands, or Submissives dutifully on their knees to help lace the skates of their Dominants. Those who don't have a partner to skate with are not so subtly encouraged to find one by the staff. There is a small coffee stand inside adjacent to the skate rental counter that sells snacks and warm drinks, most of them laced with mild aphrodisiacs. Pay no mind to those who decide to warm themselves up in other ways in the stalls of the locker rooms — there's plenty of room for everyone. The New Year seems to leave people in high spirits and it isn't uncommon to see citizens of all ages playing in the snow together, whether it be making snowmen (some rather well-endowed), snow angels, or whipping snowballs at one another. The fun seems to be infectious and, even if you're not the type to indulge in such frivolity, you may find yourself compelled to. The more one plays in the snow, the stronger the urge to warm up with someone else may become. |
 (cw: aphrodisiacs, dub-con, sadomasochism, altered mental states, sexual compulsions, excessive fluids, spontaneous orgasms, bondage, cockwarming) Snowflakes are falling on the tents and stalls of the annual winter market that lines the streets around Fiddler's Square. Strings of light criss-cross the square, providing a cheerful glow against gray winter skies and the cold nights, and there are tables set up in the street itself for people to sit and chat while having a snack — if they can stand the cold. Booths selling everything from soaps, scented lotions, candles, jewelry and other crafts to colorful bondage gear and winter themed sex toys are arranged in neat, easy to navigate rows. The most popular food and beverage stalls are giving away free half-size samples — in limited quantities, get them while you can! These effects tend to last an hour or two and may, in some cases, linger for up to a full day. Meanwhile, if you're looking for something a little more lasting in terms of warmth, why not try one of the booths hawking some winter accessories? Ranging from thick, plush scarves to soft mittens, there's nothing out of the ordinary about these offerings, at least at first. Those who do make a purchase might find their new knitwear comes with some unexpected urges, ones that only become more pressing the longer these items are worn and will persist even after their removal. Scarves, for instance, will make the individual suddenly compelled to participate in some bondage (either giving or receiving), while anyone wearing mittens will experience a sudden and insatiable desire to engage in some type of fingering — even if it's not exactly specified where. Meanwhile, if you happen to be donning a winter hat, you could very well find yourself facing the urge to pursue some… warming, either with one particular body part or a more general exchange of sharing heat with someone else. It's cold out there! The best thing anyone can do right now is bundle up and snuggle up. Effects from the winter wear will last until the specific desire is sated, and after that, there'll be nothing out of the ordinary about these knitted purchases at all. |
Please read carefully. On each Test Drive Meme, there will be a section noting character roles; these will vary each TDM. On an IC level, characters will still have gone through the doors but the assignments are OOCly randomized. When applying, there is a section of the application that denotes whether the character chooses "left" or "right." When participating on the TDM, there will be a third option. Players may link either a top level or a thread (five or more comments from their character) from the TDM and title the link as "Door Pass." This means that the player is choosing to take the designation that they were randomly assigned on the TDM, rather than taking the designation of a door. If the player decides to select a door rather than use the pass, then they are trying their luck; they may get the same designation they had on the TDM or the opposite. Once the application is submitted, players can't change their choice. To assign roles to characters for this TDM, use the following guide: If your character is more inclined to fight, they are a Dominant. If your character is more inclined toward flight, they are a Submissive. To Note: Characters can only swap their designation for one of the following reasons: an event occurs that allows it or there are OOC reasons that make it a necessity. Any swap always requires mod approval and each character can only ever switch once. Characters that are being reapped will keep their previous designation but players can choose to tag on new TDMs with different designations for fun! Test Drive threads can be used as activity proofs for characters currently in-game. Please remember to mark any necessary content, and have fun!! |
no subject
He does lean down, his hands going on either side of Cloud’s body as he gets onto the bed, crawling over his friend and thus pinning him below him. He only stops when his face is above Cloud’s, his longer legs dangling a bit off the edge of the bed still.]
This is real...right? You're...You're here and you won't disappear on me this time?
[When Zack had arrived he had seen another Cloud for a brief moment and had never had much time to talk to him or hear his story. This was different he hoped. He didn't want this cloud to leave him.]
Please don't leave me
[There is a sadness to those usually bright happy mako eyes. A sadness that Cloud might be able to remember that Zack had when he thought Cloud wasn't paying attention. He was lonely, worried and a little heartbroken. Those cracks in his happy armor showing.]
I'll make sure you feel better...just don't go after. Okay? Please?
[and its with that final plea that Zack starts to touch Cloud again and despite his earlier promises hes incredibly gentle and slow as he cupps Cloud’s sweat glistening face with one hand. The other trails down his neck, to his chest and touches at his side, noticing how firm and lean Cloud’s waist dips. Their lips meet once more but without the hunger from before as his hand finds the bottom of Cloud’s shirt and pulls it upa little, touching that hot, soft skin.]
no subject
of course he wants to reassure him. he wants to believe that, more than anything, zack will stay with him too. )
I won't go anywhere, ( he promises, the words heavy on his tongue. ) I'm real. This is real.
( there are still so many things in his life that confuse him, but cloud doubts he could ever believe something like this to be a lie. zack is too warm, too solid. the touch of his hands under his shirt and the weight of his mouth as they kiss sinks in like a hook through his heart and reels him in.
cloud sighs with relief, opening up to urge zack to deepen the contact between them. the heat is less intense in the wake of zack's exploring fingers, but it still isn't enough. the gentleness has him tensing up just slightly, his own hands smoothing along zack's shoulders and along the upper part of his back. just to feel him, to memorize the curve of his muscles. trying to remember what he'd thought zack must have felt like isn't the same as experiencing it, and his fingers creep into the hair at the nape of zack's neck, pushing through the strands to commit that sensation to memory as well. )
no subject
Cloud...
[He mumbles into the kiss, lips still pressed against Cloud's fuller ones. His friend did always have the nicest lips of any man or woman he'd ever seen. His taste is something unique too. Zack's not an expert in kissing and would never claim to be but he's kissed a few people now and Cloud has his heart beating rapidly. It's almost as in a fuse has been ignited and every kiss after is just making more and more sparks.
He can't help but pull away if only to look at Cloud's face once more, needing to take in every new nuisance to that face he used to know so well.]
You've grown so much....so handsome. I hardly recognize you. [He means it as a good thing and he hopes his bittersweet smile conveys that as he kisses Cloud's nose, still as cute as he remembers.]
Is this...is this okay...kissing you? I know you need it but....do you want this Cloud? [He pauses, leaning back to sit up and straddle Cloud. He doesn't take his shirt off but he does make sure everything else is off.] What I mean to say is...do you want me of all people touching you...
no subject
he wants to stay in this moment now. with zack.
cloud pushes up onto his elbows, observing the other man carefully. he's still dressed himself, his clothes ones he'd found that hadn't exactly fit. they're loose, but it's not like it matters, especially since zack doesn't bother to remove his shirt. he wants to tug it away, let his hands spread across his skin and explore. it seems like a purposeful boundary though, and instead, he meets zack's gaze with partial confusion. )
Why wouldn't I want it to be you? ( he's not even considering the reality that zack's dead back home. he's so alive right there in front of him. ) I thought about you every day.
( maybe not in this exact context, but... ) I still think about you.
no subject
You...wanted me? All that time we were friends?
[He tries to think back on their friendship, on all the times that little cadet would come meet him for drinks or whatever Zack wanted to do. Cloud really was like a puppy back then who craved his attention. How could he not notice it? Was he so blinded that he didn't realize the love and affection right there in front of him?]
I never....I thought...
[He remembers Nibelheim, how sweetly Cloud asked him to meet his mother, wanted to introduce him to his only family. That was Cloud confessing in his own way, wasn't it? It makes sense now but then he thought it was just like meeting a besties family too. Zack really was a fool.]
I was so oblivious. I'm so sorry Cloud I never thought..I thought we were just friends.
[His face goes a deep red as he just leans back into Cloud's chest, hiding his face there out of sheer embarrassment at it all. He hugs Cloud as he hides against him.]
I can't believe you like me, my little Spike like likes me.
no subject
cloud has to think about it seriously for a moment, trying to sort through his memories of the time they'd had together. zack had reassured him, had encouraged him. he'd been friendly and teased him, and in return, cloud had wanted to share so much with him. his home, his family... he'd even agreed to going on a "date" with him at one point, and maybe, because the thought hadn't occurred to him exactly, he hadn't thought about crossing any lines.
but then... why had he held onto the memory of him for so long and so hard?
maybe, in a way, zack had been his first love. he'd just never had the time to really think about it until now. )
You don't have to apologize. ( he's not sure why he thinks he has to, slowly curling an arm around him to embrace him in return. it feels good to have him close, the solid weight of his body against him, and slowly, cloud pushes his fingers into zack's hair. ) You were... You're important to me.
( if only zack knew how much. he does his best to console him, though he's not particularly good at it. )
We don't have to do this if you don't want to. ( he could manage on his own somehow. )
no subject
I don't want to stop. I....I like this I think.
[His voice is muffled against Cloud's chest, reverberating but then to try and fix the mood Zack acts more like himself. He moves and lifts Cloud's shirt up so he can bury his face against his bare chest and once under his shirt he blows some raspberries on Cloud's stomach, laughing and feeling better himself at the change in tone between them. He might now know what him and Cloud are but he knows how they should be and it's a lot more happier than they currently are.]
no subject
What the... Zack!
( cloud squirms, catching himself before he clocks the other man in the head with his fist. it's ticklish, and he doesn't know how to react to that. at first, it stuns him, and then, unable to help it, he chokes out a quiet laugh. it's a soft sound, immediately swallowing it down because it's strange to him.
he'd forgotten how carefree he could be with zack. )
That isn't helping, ( he grumbles, nudging him with his knee and not really bothered by it at all. in fact, he'd prefer to have zack's mouth on him again but doesn't say so. )
no subject
You liked it you dork. [He teases back, playful and without any malice at all. He then rolls back on top of Cloud and cups his head, that joyful smile still on his face.] Hey Cloud, would you want to stay here a bit? Maybe meet some of my friends and just...be Zack and Cloud again?
[Despite his question he doesn't give Cloud a moment to answer before he's kissing him again.]
no subject
oh.
how are they supposed to be zack and cloud? they'd never really had the chance, preoccupied with their jobs and everything going on. then, years had gone by without either of them conscious of it. still, zack had always been there for him, and he'd never had a chance to thank him for saving him. but cloud doesn't even have time to think about that, curling his arm loosely around zack as they kiss. he wants something he can't even describe right now. )
If you want me here, I'll stay.
( it's whispered between them when cloud leans away to breathe, more than willing to try. )
no subject
I do. I don't want you to leave.
[His voice almost cracks with how full of emotion Zack is in this moment. He stays close, noses pressed together and hands brushing through Cloud's hair, trying to get a touch of him everywhere.]
I've wondered what happened to you, I wanted you to be okay so badly. I've thought of you almost every night these past few months.
no subject
he wants to tell him everything. he just... not right now. )
I'm okay. See? ( cloud nudges at him, letting his fingers stroke along the line of his jaw. ) You don't have to worry anymore.
( as if that's the least of their problems, but cloud is determined to enjoy this as it happens. maybe it won't later. maybe it's just something that happens sometimes, especially when a friend needs help. still, cloud pushes up to kiss zack with a little more urgency this time, aware of the heat burning through him but far more focused on this than how uncomfortable he is in his clothes.
in fact, he tries to urge zack over onto his back so he can straddle him and kiss him until neither of them think of anything else. )
no subject
They kiss and Zack melts against those plush lips of Cloud's. There is a heat there, a slight desperation for more and Zack goes with it. This whole situation isn't something even from his wildest dreams so he lets it happen. Cloud pushes and Zack let's him, turning onto his back and letting Cloud straddle him this time.
He pulls back from the kiss for a moment to look up and meet Cloud's pretty gaze, it's blues he remembered tinted in greens and so much of what happened to them stabs at his heart. Cloud used to have the cutest big blue eyes and while he still looks like a cute kitten they are different, jaded in both color and feeling. His heartstrings tug at him painfully and Zack just goes back to kissing to ease the pain he feels at failing his best friend. He never wanted this for Cloud, never wanted to see pain in those pretty eyes.]
no subject
now, all he has to do is convey that to zack. )
Will you touch me?
( it's a quiet question, lacking his usual neutral tone. he would have given it as a command, but he doesn't want any of this to ruin their little reunion. still, cloud doesn't exactly wait for an answer. he guides one of zack's hands beneath his shirt, leaning into it in a way he hopes is encouraging. )
no subject
Yeah babe, lemme touch you until you're begging for more.
[He knows the drugs must be working again from that drink cause he'd normally not call Cloud babe but he doesn't care right now. He's quickly getting aroused which is evident in how the mako in his eyes seems to be getting a little brighter. He lets Cloud drag his hands under his shirt and then on his own lift's said shift up and over Cloud's head so he's topless and Zack can admire Cloud's body.]
Fuck....you're so hot Cloud.
[It might be the first time Cloud hears Zack actually curse.]
no subject
there's really no time to think about it. at the very least, he knows he wants this.
zack's compliment only serves to deepen the flush spreading across his chest and rising into his face. he'd never particularly thought about his looks one way or the other. he'd gained a little more definition and a few more scars than zack might remember, but it's really nothing at all. still, he's not embarrassed by it, and he rests his hands against zack's stomach, leaning over and showing his appreciation by kissing him.
slowly, he pushes his fingers down, blindly exploring until he gets between zack's legs and... oh. there's the briefest pause before he gives him a purposeful (and testing) squeeze. ) Zack – ( his heart's racing. ) Is this okay?
( because cloud's determined to touch him despite having asked zack to do the very same to him. )
no subject
Lips part as if to speak but then Cloud's lips meet his again in a wonderful kiss. He let's his eyes close, fully falling into the pleasure of Cloud on top of him and touching him. That wandering hand lowers on him and his eyes widen the moment his growing erection is squeezed. It twitches in his pants, begging to be released and touched more and Zack doesn't really know what to say but then Cloud's asking him so sweetly and he just nods. He could never tell Cloud no.
He does reach down to his own pants, pushing them down a bit so his dark trail is revealed and the hint of his impressive cock as well.] This is...yeah it's okay. It's really okay.
[Zack's determined to touch Cloud's in return, leaving his own pants to instead focus on Cloud's so he can touch him. He really wants to touch him now. ]
no subject
his agreement is enough too, his breathing a little heavier as zack tries to get him out of his pants.
if he really thought about it, it would almost feel too fast. they've just been reunited, and cloud has yet to tell zack everything that's happened in the last two years. zack doesn't even know that part of it, but he can't focus when he's overwhelmed and hot and zack nearly has his entire body on display beneath him.
cloud leans over and slowly wiggles out of his pants, on his back once more, and when he's naked, he tugs zack by his shirt to pull his body over him. he's free to touch him now, and more than that, cloud can press a knee to zack's hip and rub up against him for some much needed friction. )
no subject
They travel lower and he watches as Cloud's pants are removed. Mako eyes seeming to glow even more with how aroused Zack is at the moment. He's pulled down from his shirt before he can even react and once more his lips meet Cloud's. He's enjoying the kiss as he works his own pants open. Letting his own cock out like this is easier for him, probably will scare Cloud less if he doesn't get to see it but instead feels it. It's easy since he wasn't in his SOLDIER uniform but more comfortable clothes and he slips them off with ease, leaving his shirt on but his bottom bare.]
Cloud..
[Zack practically moans between the kisses, not really needing to break for air but more to calm himself and pace himself. He's so excited and aroused he can't help but want to just devour Cloud with kisses. It's too much too fast and the overstimulation gets to him as he pulls back to rest his head against Cloud's shoulder, kissing breathy light kisses to that neck.]
Cloud, Cloud...my buddy...fuck I missed you so much.
[Zack's words are mumbled against Cloud's skin as his hand lowers to grab his own cock and Cloud's keeping them pressed up together and stroking the length of both of them as he repeats again and again how he much he missed Cloud.]
no subject
Zack —
( cloud has no other thought in his head, another quiet sound leaving him when he realizes zack is jerking them off together. the heat from before is back with a vengeance, threatening to swallow him up, and all cloud can do is ride through it, rocking his hips in time with zack's hand as his knees press hard against his sides and his fingers tangle in his hair.
it's so different. maybe almost too much, and he's panting out things that might be words, unable to do much else. )
I'm... I can't...
( he squeezes his eyes shut and practically clings to zack at the peak of his orgasm seconds later, holding on so tightly that he might have bruised him had zack not been a soldier. and by the time he's slowly beginning to come down from it, his mouth is on zack's without any thought to allowing either of them to breathe. )
no subject
It's a mix of their feelings and Cloud's own sounds that gets him so on edge and as soon as Cloud starts to get stiffer in his hands he follows close behind. They are both on the edge and Cloud comes first, Zack watching as it gets all over his hand and drips onto Cloud's stomach.]
M-Me too...Cloud....
[Zack's body shudders as he climaxes soon after his own decorating cloud's torso below him and the combined cum dripping and dirtying his entire hand. He's about to pull away to clean them both but Cloud pulls him into a kiss and he won't say no, not right now. He wants to hug Cloud and never let go but seeing as how they are both pretty sticky a hug might have to wait. Instead he falls into the kiss, lips parted and fighting for a dominance in Cloud's mouth.]
