TEST DRIVE MEME #4

[penancemods]

ARRIVAL

You remember a dream.

Or maybe nightmare is more accurate.

It was full of hellfire nipping at your skin and a sensation of being pulled down no matter how much you struggle or cry for help. There's a voice that feels like it's coming from all around you at once. Contrasting with the nightmare unfolding around you, it's smooth as silk. It makes you want to listen with every bit of attention you can muster in the moment.

"Judgement has come upon you, but not to worry. It can still be undone."

The voice promises you redemption for your sins. It promises you a better life and everything you could ever want, if only you just stop struggling so much.

And so you do.


Everyone wakes up in the same room initially. The room is done up in red with a cushy bed, a window, an old TV in the corner on a desk, and a few Hieronymus Bosch paintings lining the wall. There's a bathroom to clean up in and any belongings will be sat around the room to be gathered later. There's a duffel bag provided for your convenience.

After feeling a sensation of falling or dropping onto the bed, characters wake up feeling like they've just slept for a week. Their body will feel heavy and stiff, they'll have a massive headache at first.

They'll quickly notice the list of their sins written with their blood on a bedside table on an old piece of parchment. This will mean the list is tied to them and can't be changed or tampered with. They'll also receive their device to connect with others and the network. It won't be anything terribly fancy. As a matter of fact, it looks like a very old Blackberry type phone.

Once characters are ready to leave the room, they'll head down long, winding halls. They're dimly lit and ominous feeling. They may encounter fellow sinners or demonic staff that will direct the newcomer down to the lobby to get their actual room key to settle in. They may be pushy, they may border on courteous. It really just depends on the mood of the staff at the time and how they're treated in return. Eventually, everyone comes to stairs that lead downward.



Once down to the lobby, you'll notice the front desk manned by a demon who looks bored out of its mind. To the side of him is the door to the kitchen where guests may help themselves. To the right is a small duty free shop that seems to have a surprisingly normal, expected stock of items. Look around a bit further, there will be a tiny bar tucked in through a corner door. It seems pretty well-stocked and best of all, self-serve if you want to get away from your demonic hosts for a bit. Of course there's some seating, bar games, and a jukebox tucked in the corner if you'd rather stay and socialize a bit.

Please note that all the songs on the jukebox are appropriately hell-themed. Hopefully Sympathy for the Devil is universally loved.

STAND YOUR GROUND

Prompt I

It seems like not long after everyone has either returned from the maze or arrived fresh to hell that the storms started yet again. A bit more sporadically and not the constant downpour of the previous month, but it's still blood and fire raining from the skies, along with claps of thunder and lightning strikes that seem far too close for comfort. Fortunately, there's not as much flooding this time. Unfortunately, a particularly loud clap of thunder and lightning that strikes close to the hotel seems to leave it and surrounding establishments in the dark. Quickly, the hotel becomes a cold place, urging all guests to to move to the lobby for some warmth.

A roaring fire will be going and there will be hot drinks and snacks kindly provided by the staff while they try to work on correcting the problem.

Eventually, some rather panicked goblin-like demons come rushing up from the basement. They're half-singed and dirty looking from their adventure, so it doesn't seem to bode well for the power returning any time soon. Guests who listen closely will hear the demons apologizing profusely for 'letting them escape' and much more worrisome than that, about how it looks like there might have been some tampering going on down there. The staff is quick to tell the demons to hush and go, not to worry the guests or let word get back to Lucifer.

Once that whole scene is squared away, the staff will be urging guests to volunteer and pushing them into a drafty, creepy basement with nothing but candles and flashlights to lead the way.

It's okay, they reassure, it's not that bad down there! The lights provided all seem to flicker dangerously though, almost completely going out at times, as you descend creaky stairs to a lower level. Apparently the demons are tired of risking their hide to get the power back on, but they're quite happy to risk all the guests'.

The basement is slightly flooded in some areas, bloody rain making its way through cracks in the foundation. It reeks of dampness and mold. There are things that skitter in the corner of your eye as you venture in further. Rats, bugs, and a few smaller beasts.

No one will be given more to go on than they're looking for a breaker box to reset, and hopefully, that'll get everything back up and running again. Unfortunately, there are so many twists and turns that it gets confusing after a while... How come the basement looks much bigger than it has any right to be anyway?

The basement is also jam packed with boxes just begging to be gone through. Most of them just seem to house an odd amount of clothing and what may be personal items left from previous guests, others hold decidedly more satanic and occult items. But if there's anything you're looking for in particular, from jewelry to a coat to a rad new walkman, you'll probably find it down here.

Keep going and you'll come across a room with a heavy steel door. If anyone should venture inside, they'll see a dungeon inside. There are demons chained to the walls in various ways, strung from the ceiling, or caged up that seem to be wasting away and forgotten. If they notice you, they'll try to plead with you to let them out, bribing you with information on Lucifer that no one else knows, but it's probably for the best you don't. There seem to be a few free spaces waiting for new additions after all... and besides, they've got to be locked down there for a reason, right?

Let them go against all better judgement and they'll most likely just rattle something off while they take off running as quick as they can.

Listen closely enough and you might hear tortured screams as they're presumably killed upon reaching the main floor of the lobby. It was probably inevitably, so don't blame yourself.

Anyway, moving on you keep going past the dungeon, and you'll finally find the room with the furnace and breakers to reset. It shouldn't take long to flip them back, but they'll continue to trip on and off for a while and may require multiple groups to make a return trek down to reset them until the demons finally correct the issues with the wiring that is causing these outages.

Speaking of issues with the wiring and what may have caused them... Hang around the bar or lobby enough, or around any area of the community, and you may hear muttering of something called The Veiled Order from beyond the gates. Some of the demons seem excited, others seem nervous. If asked, the demons may brush guests off. If drunk enough or given proper incentive, they may tell a story about a group of rebellious demons that Lucifer tried to cast out. They were damned to live in the burnt forests outside the gates, but sometimes, they still cause trouble.

Apparently, they thought they could be better rulers than Lucifer and were quite discontent with how he maintains Hell.

Some may say they're worried the Order is causing mischief by messing with the hotel, having had ample opportunity to sneak back within the gates. Others will laugh heartily and insist that it's a dumb tale to scare young demons, nothing more. Certainly nothing to worry about.

Another thing guests may overhear or bribe out of demons around the bar or club is talk about the call of infernal nightmares. If pressed for more info, the demons won't give much beyond the fact that it's a miserable thing, entirely miserable.

Prompt II

Apparently what the goblin-like demons accidentally set free are strange demons that possess fungi, dust, and dirt. They don't seem to quite be from this world, but they're called Coal Tars apparently. They're harmless creatures for the most part, but they do have a love of following around people with dark or sinister natures.

The staff will be offering a reward of a gourmet dinner of the guest's choice if anyone around the hotel will help to capture these little pests and bring them to the front desk. Afterwards, they'll be returned to the basement and locked away again.

Otherwise, people are free to ignore them or laugh at the people who can't seem to shake the little creatures following them around.

Careful though, breathing them in can make your lungs rot. Nasty way to go probably.

REACH UP HIGH

Prompt I
Warnings: cutting, blood, torture.

Whether you've been here for months or you're freshly arrived, your demonic overlord expects some participation. You can try and shirk the responsibility, of course. You can bargain your way out of it for a while. But eventually, you may find yourself trapped in a room just off the gym that's been fondly dubbed the torture room. It has all manner of equipment in there, along with an iron maiden even.

But don't worry about any of that right now. It probably won't be used.

You can try the door, but even with super human strength or every lock picking skill in the book, you won't be able to open it.

It soon becomes apparent what you're supposed to do soon enough when someone else is eventually shoved in with you. Both of your lists of sins will appear on a table that's been placed in the center of the room with two handy knives. You can choose to guard these or not care at all that they're on display.

"Know that honesty is a good place to start on your road to redemption. Sure, it can be terrifying at first, but that's why you've been given a partner in this journey. Pick up your knives and carve at least one sin into each other's flesh. Help in the journey to be candid with everyone you should meet here!"

The voice echoes all around you again, just like in the nightmare, and once again there's the pull to give in. This voice really does seem like it has your best interests at heart.

"If you need a bit of encouragement, we'll be giving it shortly."

It isn't a lie or idle threat either. The longer you wait to do what's been requested of you, the more shallow cuts that will appear on both of your bodies. Are you really prepared to endure this pain when giving in would be so much easier?

And more than that, are you willing to let another suffer along with you?

Eventually, the cuts will stop if you suffer them long enough, but you'll have failed this challenge and sustained more damage than if you'd just gone along with it. Satan will also be very disappointed in you.

Prompt II

"A generous nature is an important part of being a righteous person. Greed is a sin my Father frowns on quite a bit. What I ask you to do today is to go out and find a gift for that special someone or friend of yours and give them something to smile over."

With the items available in the basement and the shop in the hotel carrying a few new items, Lucifer would like to spread the good will of gift giving. It doesn't matter if you're not well acquainted with each other yet. You don't need to be! Anyone can spread cheer by giving a gift.

And if you don't, expect to be in excruciating pain for a few hours, and struggling for a breath. If you can't share a gift, then you don't deserve to share all that oxygen, do you?


FOLLOW ME DOWN

Prompt I
Warnings: Alcohol and drug abuse, potential non-con/dub-con.

With all the sinners, new and old, the bar will be lit up with activity and absolutely bustling with guests and demons alike. Food and drinks will be readily available and provided by hotel staff (although they might not always know what humans eat. What do you mean, you don't like fried kitten?), music will be blaring, and overall, there will be an energy to the atmosphere that's absolutely contagious. Even if you aren't typically inclined to linger at these sorts of events, there will be a certain pull to stay and have a bit of fun.

You may not get much of a chance to have that in hell after all. So one drink won't hurt, right? Nor will one more after that.

There will also be every sort of party drug available that might tickle your fancy. There's no harm in experimenting, is there? You're already in hell and the staff is handing it out and so helpfully showing you how to use it, or recommending a type that would suit what you want.

You've presumably done your atonement for the day, yes? So cut back a bit, let loose. Hell might be pain and torment, but it's also a nonstop party in the bar.

There's even a brand new stage and a karaoke machine for those feeling brave!

Ask the staff demons very nicely and you may even get less scrupulous drugs as well. Things that will convince your fellow damned souls to tell only the truth for a fun prank, or perhaps even potions that will make someone so enamored with you, they won't take their eyes, or hands, off you. How dare they give you the cold shoulder earlier, right? You've got them now.

There are also tables set up for all sorts of gambling and various bar games to entertain yourself with. Since currency as most are familiar with it doesn't quite exist down here, most of the demons seem to be accepting bits of your soul, if you're in a gambling mood. You may also get pulled into a fun game of strip poker against one of your fellow guests for a few succubi that are having a night out.

Relax and enjoy your night. Coming here and facing your sins is the hard part, so surely you deserve to have a little fun, right?

Prompt II
Warnings: sex, aphrodisiacs, potential dubcon/noncon, potential kinks.

The club within Penance has always offered many options for debauchery, but now it seems they're stepping things up a bit. There are themed rooms for sex machines (the same that were present at the carnival) that can be controlled by a demon or a partner. If asked, they'll gladly set you up on stage to put on a performance for the entire club.

They won't side eye you for any other kink you ask for either, however depraved it is.

But the succubi are handing out potions again, that can be taken willingly or not. The purpose of them is to strip away all of your inhibitions... or in certain cases, your mind as well as your will. It will leave those who take the potion as a perfect little pet or slave for someone.

It doesn't matter if you're generally strong-willed or not interested in submitting. You'll find yourself wanting to please someone until it's the most important thing on your mind. Maybe until it's the only thing on your mind. It doesn't even matter if you generally hate or adore the person you've attached yourself to, you'll find yourself sinking down on your knees anyway.

This is the perfect time to play out all those daddy kinks, domination and submission scenes, or perhaps a bit of pet play. It doesn't matter what theme of the game you choose, you're suddenly all for it no matter what.

Because you just want to make someone happy, even if what makes them happy is hurting you as much as pampering.

[spongetastrophe]

[Now, James might be wondering how Peter plans to get the lube when he's got a finger pressed inside the man's ass and he's kissing over James's shoulder. Luckily for James, Peter can just move stuff with his mind. At this point, it doesn't really matter if he exposes himself as having abilities.

So he reaches out with his free hand, finding the nightstand and the lube there. It flies neatly into his hand, where he stars slicking it over his cock while his finger-- not lubed-- works inside James]

[invicto]

[ James is sort of wondering, sort of curious. He turns his head just in time to see Peter fetch the bottle from the distance, letting out a soft laugh when it lands perfectly in Peter's palm. The sound quickly dissolves into a moan, and he jerks his hips back to meet the press of Peter's finger into him.

He slips one hand down Peter's front, reaching down to curl his fingers around Peter's cock. ] Let me.

[spongetastrophe]

[He smirks at James's reaction. It is kind of fun, showing off like this. Peter's eyes darken at that moan, his finger daring to prod a little deeper]

Mmm, go ahead.

[Peter's hips jerk forward to encourage the touch. It's more difficult without lube to move his fingers inside James, but he's working the entrance anyway. His other hand goes up into James's hair and gives it a tug]

[invicto]

[ The deeper push draws a low, dragged moan from him, eyes rolling in their sockets and head falling back when Peter tugs on his hair. His hand picks up pace on Peter's cock all too eagerly, rocking his hips in tandem with the strokes, muscles clenching around Peter's finger while he tries to encourage him to keep going. ]

Shit... that's good. Want more.

[ But he can't even spread his legs or fold his knees like this. He eyes the bed, lifting an eyebrow at Peter. ]

[spongetastrophe]

[His eyes flick from the bed to James and back. He doesn't need to use his telepathy to know what James is thinking. Peter gives his hair another tug before slipping his hand down. The fingers of his other hand are still firmly in James's ass. With a grin, he moves his other hand down and effortlessly lifts James off his feet.

And with that, he carries James over to the bed. The benefit of having super strength is he can do this with ease. He sets James on the bed and crawls up after him, hand going back to tug on the man's hair again]

Spread 'em.

[invicto]

[ James lets out a surprised groan, but he holds onto Peter as he carries him off to bed, falling unceremoniously on the mattress with a breathless huff, practically mewling when Peter yanks on his hair again.

Gaze dark, he flashes Peter a crooked smile, then folds his legs and slowly spreads his knees wide for Peter, both his hands running back down Peter's torso to wrap around his cock, pumping him hard. ]

[spongetastrophe]

[He growls, grabbing Jim's hand and pinning it down on the bed. Peter's cock is hard enough and ready to go again. He gives a few more thrusts with his fingers before moving them out. He flashed a grin]

You look good. I'd make you beg, but I think I'll save it for next time. Tied up and bent over, right?

[Without waiting for an answer, he pushes his cock in. He's not slow or careful, and doesn't stop until he's buried all the way in]

[invicto]

[ James lets out a laugh, short and breathless and hot. Plenty have tried to make him beg so far, but no such luck. Peter would really need a lot of time and patience if he wanted to make James beg, and even then it might still not work.

But he does appreciate the sentiment, and he appreciates the thought of Peter tying him down and bending him over a table or a couch some other time. Not that he gets to really say that out loud, because suddenly he feels Peter's cock replace his fingers, and he lets out a sharp cry at the force behind that first thrust, head rolling back on the bed as his body seizes up and his muscles clench tight around Peter's cock. ] Oh, shit!

[spongetastrophe]

[He grits his teeth against those tightened muscles. It’s good James likes it rough, because Peter is likely to bruise him with how he’s holding down the man’s arms. Peter realizes this and loosens his grip. His hand instead goes down to James’s leg, making sure it’s wrapped up around him.

That secured, Peter begins thrusting. He is not very gentle about it. He leans in to give James a biting kiss, tugging hard on the man’s hair]

[invicto]

[ James only manages grunts and pants at first, but not a word of complaint leaves his lips. Not about the way Peter keeps his arms pinned down hard to the bed, not about the feeling of his thick cock burying deep in his ass. If he ends up bruised, then that's all the better. He sure isn't going to try to get Peter to ease up on him.

When one of his wrists is freed he does move his arm, though, hand flying to Peter's hair, fingers weaving into the strands. He cries at a sharper thrust and yanks on his hair, moaning a 'yes' immediately after as he lifts his leg higher, heel pressing against the small of Peter's back, urging him to go fast and rough. ]

[spongetastrophe]

[He pants, groaning at the tug. He tugs back to show James how rough he wants hit. Meanwhile, his hips are snapping fast and hard, abandoning himself to this. James feels so good and is giving as roughly as he takes it.

Peter remembers the man's erection and strokes it as he thrusts]

[invicto]

[ James gets the hint and curls his fingers tighter, yanking hard on Peter's hair, nails digging across his scalp. He forces Peter's head back then latches his lips to his throat, biting down hard on his neck, moaning loudly when he shifts his hips and feels Peter's cock push deep at a different angle, forceful and hard and with a lovely trace of pain.

The hand on his cock only adds to his pleasure. He cries and sinks his teeth in deeper, moaning as he breaks away from skin. ] Fuck-- yes...!

[spongetastrophe]

[He groans, fingers digging into James's flesh hard enough to bruise. The lain feels good; he doesn't question how or why he feels it after being numb for so long]

Yeah, like that. Feels so good.

[He bites back, daring to push even harder. He's going to come again, but won't let that stop him from fucking James into the mattress]

[invicto]

[ The pain works just fine for him. Anything too gentle and tender feels too intimate, and a rough fuck is exactly what he wants from a guy he's just met.

He groans and shivers when Peter pounds harder into him, the bed creaking beneath their weight. He's bent in on himself with the way Peter's nailing him to the mattress, his heels digging against Peter's ass and back as though riding him and coaxing him to keep going just as fast and hard, trembling all over whenever his cock drags across that sensitive spot. His fingers hold on tightly to Peter's hair, yanking painfully, while a bed of precome forms and spills from the tip of his own cock. Ignored all the while that Peter fucked his mouth, he's so close to tipping over the edge. ]

[spongetastrophe]

Fuck, getting close. But you come first, get nice and tight for me.

[His hips snap urgently, teeth drafging across flesh and hands squeezing to bruise. Peter shifts his body to aim for that spot and pound it hard]

[invicto]

[ He shivers all over, groaning and whimpering with each rough thrust. It hurts but it's exhilarating, the pain only pushing him faster towards his climax. He's so pent up that between Peter's cock shoved deep up his ass, his hand tight around his own erection, and the yanking on his hair, it's only a few more seconds before he's coming with a loud cry, spilling all over Peter's hand and making a mess of his own stomach and chest. All the while he does exactly as Peter told him to, getting that much tighter for him, feeling every inch of his cock as he keeps pounding into him. ]

[spongetastrophe]

Fuck!

[He feels James go tight and shudders, thrusting a few more times until it's his turn. He comes with a cry, spilling himself inside. Peter keeps going, pumping and rocking until he's sure they're both done. Then he slips out, rolling onto his back with a sigh]

[invicto]

[ Feeling Peter come inside him only fuels his own arousal, pushing his orgasm to stretch for another blissful moment, his vision blurred to white as he whimpers and pants beneath Peter, tight as he feels Peter's cock thrust deep and spill every drop into him, until he's full to the brim. Dollops spill down his thighs and ass when Peter pulls out, and he stays where he is, lying across the bed in a limp, sated mess.

Eventually he grins, letting out a breathless chuckle, heart still beating rapidly in his chest. ]

Shit. That... was good.

[spongetastrophe]

[His breathing and pulse eventually return to normal. Peter touches where James's teeth bit him. The mark is gone but Peter remembers the sensation. He casts his eyes over to James to survey all the bites and bruises he wears now]

Yeah. Wouldn't mind doing that again.

[invicto]

[ He's wearing quite a few marks now, and he definitely doesn't mind in the least. In fact he's very pleased with the tingle he still feels around each bruise and bite, reminding him they're still there.

He lets out a low hum, close to a purr, turning onto his side so he's facing Peter. ]

Then let's do it again sometime.

[spongetastrophe]

[Peter turns as well. At least one of them has marks left behind from what just happened. Still, Peter can't deny it was fun. Giving and taking that roughly felt really good. He reaches to stroke James's hair, gentle at first and then gives a sharp tug]

You free in a few minutes?

[invicto]

[ James nearly purrs at the fingers brushing through his hair. It's followed quickly by a gasp when Peter tugs on it, letting out a low chuckle at the answer. ]

I'm free for the rest of the night, if you want.

[spongetastrophe]

[He runs a hand along James's side, giving his ass a squeeze]

All night, huh? I like that idea. I'm sure I can bend you over at least once.

[But first he pulls James forward for a biting kiss, sucking on the bottom lip and running his tongue over the flesh]

[invicto]

[ James shifts at that, biting on his lower lip as he lets himself get pulled closer. ]

Please do.

[ He cups Peter's face in his hands, pulling him close too while they kiss, his lips parting all too eagerly at the abuse, his own teeth dragging across Peter's own lips. ]

[spongetastrophe]

[Peter growls into the kiss, hands fisting James's hair and going down to grab his ass. His tongue pushes in, then he pulls in James's tongue and sucks on it hard while his nails dig deep into the man's flesh. He'll get them both ready and hard before bending James over]
