TEST DRIVE MEME #13

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, there's a demonic bartender who seems to know how to mix any drink you can imagine (and a few you can't). Of course there's some seating, bar games, and a jukebox tucked in the corner if you'd rather stay and socialize a bit. There's also a new addition of a karaoke machine.

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


Welcome to My Nightmare
Familiar whispers are starting among the demons of Hell yet again! The big carnival is happening soon and it's going to be even bigger than before. Apparently the clowns are out, but special guests are in!

The names Bellas Mammon, and Verinne float around excitedly. Something about the angel is spat about with less enthusiasm from time to time. If the demons are pressed for additional information they'll just say that if the carnival guests are pleased, Hell is in for a grand expansion.

If asked how the carnival guests are to be pleased the demons will simply laugh and tell sinners not to worry. So, new denizen of Hell, guess what! Even with such little information to go on, you get to help the demons get everything ready for the upcoming event. Exciting!


Prompt I: We Built This City
WARNINGS: mentions of violence and drugs

Within the gates of our lovely Penance community a large portion of the area is currently in the process of being cleared away. Demons will be grabbing unsuspecting sinners and dragging them into the process without a care of whether they want to help or not. Sinners will work clearing charred debris, constructing stands, cleaning up dilapidated buildings, stringing lights and other decorations, and more.

Curiously, the only things that seem to be off-limits are rides and games, just like the last time. Hands off, buddy. Those are a surprise.

Unfortunately for all the guests involved, it seems like the demons are very serious about their role as supervisor. Cracking the whip isn't just a figure of speech is what we’re saying. If they catch anyone slacking off they will be punished accordingly. A swift hit, a hard shove, a good lashing with the whip for those who are particularly naughty. They may even just crack it if they think a sinner isn't working as fast or as hard as they could.

Well, now you know how serious they're taking this. After all, there's so much work to be done and such little time.

That said, the demons aren't entirely heartless. Just before a sinner collapses from exhaustion or dehydration, they'll be allowed to go treat themselves to some sandwiches and water. There's also an energy drink available simply called Speed Bull.

Knowing Hell, the 'healthy vitamins and minerals' contained in it are probably just code for actual speed. Ah, well, at least it keeps you going. Might want to be careful though. Drinking too many will lead you to, well, die (again). Might not be permanent, but isn’t fun or productive!

Those sinners who are especially resistant or otherwise naughty while constructing booths and other carnival necessities will find themselves put on porta potty duty. Arguably the worst duty of all, and they just might find themselves compelled to do so even if they hate it.

Other areas the guests will be able to help with include the tunnel of love, pens for a petting zoo, and the fun house, but they may not want to gaze into the mirrors too long...


Prompt II: The Maze of Mirrors
WARNINGS: mentions of mental health, addiction, violence, and sex

Those lucky enough to get a glimpse at the carnival’s fun house will notice an incomplete room full of mirrors. There’s no demons around cracking whips at the moment and there’s something about it that just feels like it’s calling to you. It’s clearly unfinished and they likely need some help, right? Might as well investigate.

If guests choose to enter this room, they will soon discover it's far larger than it seemed at first glance. Stranger yet, the room is a maze that seems to shift and change with every corner you turn. Didn’t you just enter from that direction? Well, looks like it’s a dead end now. Guess you’ll have to find another way out.

The longer someone stays trapped in this maze of mirrors the more they start to feel different. Sinners begin to change mentally and emotionally into their darkest nature. All the secret parts of themselves that they try to hide from everyone come rushing to the surface and this can also be actual secrets themselves!

Do you struggle with anger? Depression? Been holding yourself together by a thread for too long? Actually afraid of everything? Recovered addict? Jealous of that bitch Stacey? Itching to just murder someone? Maybe you’re a bit of a nymphomaniac or a compulsive liar. Perhaps you’ve been holding back on saying what’s really on your mind to some people or maybe you have a deep secret that’s itching to get out and you don’t care who hears it... like that one time you left someone to die, or when cheated on your significant other with their sibling.

Well good sinner, now feels like a great time to clear the air! Let people know who you really are. There might be someone else stuck in there with you who you can kill, or fuck, or yell all the things you’ve wanted to say to them (or just say in general) but haven’t. If not? Good thing there’s a network in Hell, and the reception seems to be excellent today.

This maddening desire to reveal secrets and become that which is often hidden grows stronger the longer a person remains in the maze of mirrors.

There are two ways someone can be brought back to their more normal selves: either by the acceptance and forgiveness from another person resulting in immediate relief, or by finally finding a way out. Although it may linger a few hours after exit until finally all returns to normal.




Something in the Air Tonight

Prompt I: Something In The Air
WARNINGS: mentions of body horror transformations

After everyone's fun time spent in the mental asylum earlier in the month, it looks as though the monster business isn’t quite done and over with. Perhaps sinners missed taking care of a small scratch or maybe the taint has just spread some other way, but sinners (old and new alike) may find themselves beginning to change, physically.

It may start out simple enough. An ache or a pain that could be blamed on a long day of construction or sleeping on the lumpy, uncomfortable beds, but it will soon progress. Fingernails may fall out as fingers turn to claws, legs may start melting together until a sinner is left with something that looks decidedly snake-like. It may feel like one's body is attempting to tear itself apart only to leave them with slimy tentacles.

Eventually, affected sinners might start to even think differently. Whether their physical mutations are big or small, are specific to one animal or several, or are the variety of horrific unidentified monsters from someone’s worst nightmare, the affected may begin to lose their higher state of consciousness for something more primal and animalistic.

Don't worry, Lucifer will reassure you all that this is only a temporary state of being! They’re working on getting everyone back to normal as we speak, so in the meantime just… try to enjoy it. It’s not all that bad, is it?


Prompt II: They Did The Monster Smash (nsfw)
WARNINGS: continued mentions of body horror

While under this transformation, some sinners may feel an innate desire for a night of debauchery. Whatever their monstrous state is, they find themselves wandering into the sex portion of the night club. While the mutations may be as small as claws and teeth, those experiencing it will also find themselves with an insatiable need to breed.

As the night goes on, people will find themselves more than just physically affected and begin displaying the following characteristics:

Alpha
  • Traditionally strong and dominant types. They are protective and extremely jealous once they’ve found a mate.
  • It is not uncommon for Alpha’s to fight over their chosen Omega with other Alphas.
  • When next to an omega in heat, they may enter into a rut state where their main concern will be claiming and mating with their chosen partner.
  • Ruts will send alphas into an extreme frenzy and cause them to be very aggressive.
  • They will be overwhelmed with the desire to dominate and have sex.

    When an Alpha is close to climax, their genitals will swell and knot or entrap their partner in order to further ensure breeding. This swelling locks two people together for up to thirty minutes. During this period, it is not possible to pull apart from one another and may result in several rounds of intercourse. Keep in mind, however, that the more sex you engage in the longer it will take for the swelling to ease.

    Omega
  • Traditionally submissive types who aim to please. They are physically inferior to alphas and have an innate urge to be claimed and possessed.
  • When in heat, omegas experience fevers that can be dangerous if allowed to rise. The only cure for this is an orgasm.
  • Heats may last up to three days. During this time period, omegas will be insatiable. So much so it might become painful the longer they don’t mate.
  • They will be drawn towards the strongest alpha. Omegas put off a scent that will attract mates, particularly during heat, that often encourages alphas to fight for the right to breed with them among other alphas.
  • Bites to the neck may calm a feisty omega, but keep in mind that this may also cause a mating bond with them.
  • Omega’s during heat often become extremely self-lubricated.

    Both Alpha and Omega may experience intense lasting orgasms with excessive amounts of cum to further ensure breeding. If an Omega cannot find a suitable mate they will find themselves incapable of satiation. Nothing is enough until a mate is found and even then, heat might hit them again soon after climax.

    There’s another category, the Beta. These are those who aren’t really affected either way. Some of these patrons are still experiencing physical mutations but don’t seem to have the same heat and desire to breed. Others might not even be physically changed at all.

    This can make things a little bit awkward, though. Especially when even the succubi and incubi are affected along with other demonic staff and guests. They may be eagerly dragging people, staff and sinners alike, off for a rough breeding session.

    Of course, because it’s a sex club there’s plenty of other things to do. As always, no guest is safe from the potential of being dragged on stage for a demo or two. There are plenty of rooms with various themes for your delight including all sorts of toys and fucking machines. Anything you could imagine, really!

    More information on what to find in the sex club here.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: The mods recognize that abo is considered a slur against aboriginal peoples in Australia. It is important to us that we recognize this and clarify that such a term outside of alpha/beta/omega context is harmful and uncool. Stay groovy, and have fun!


    Wildcard
    Not looking for debauchery or looking for a different kind? That’s alright! The club itself has plenty of other options such as a separate side explicitly for dancing. Drink up, maybe do a few lines, and dance the night away. There’s also a spa, a pool, a library, and all sorts of other areas for your character to explore now that they’re in hell.

    You can find more information on the various locations here

    "Strangely enough, there isn't school for Space Emperors," Teddy smirks, reaching out and laying a hand on Josh's leg, stroking up and down it. "They teach you how to be so alluring at Xavier's?"

    John grunts in protest as his leg gets stretched. Hands fly down to scratch at Billy's abdomen, something fierce and animalistic as he feels his own orgasm ripping through his body, the discomfort of Billy's pushed right to the back of his mind.

    He's so exhausted afterwards that his leg drops limply when it's released. The stretch of sweat-slicked skin below his rib cage is hot and sticky with his own cum. He feels so full up to his tailbone that it hurts to just move even his toes.

    Worse still is that Billy isn't pulling out and he can still feel that hard length keeping all that lube and cum lodged in his arse.

    "I can't," he sobs, voice cracking under the strain. He must have screamed earlier because of how hoarse and abused his throat feels. He's so full and everything is raw and tender to the touch.

    [ Finn hardly minds the fluids. Revels in them, in fact. The knowledge that he's made his mate happy and whatever that is Poe's doing when he clenches around him like that sends him sailing right over the edge. Finn cries out into Poe's neck, coming longer and harder than he's pretty sure he's ever had.

    By the time it's done (which feels like an awfully long time), Finn finds himself panting against Poe's skin, apparently having let go of his bite at some point in all that. His cock still twitches and makes him hiss at every jolt, but they're tied together now. For some reason, that feels right, so much so that his worn out brain doesn't bother questioning it.

    What he does bother to do is take care of his spent, beautiful, incredible mate. Finn gently rolls them over together, keeping Poe close until they're on their sides. The skin that he bit into is on the exposed side whether because he wanted to see it or because he's aware of how tender it must be. Both maybe.

    His arms stay around Poe, lips lazily pressing kisses along his neck, just drifting. ]

    Uh huh, sure, keep tell yourself that, Homelander. It's totally for her own comfort and not your own. But.....there is some truth to it. She probably woule need some liquid courage when it comes to intimacy of that nature. What does it say about her that's more comfortable having sex with people then sleeping with them non sexually?

    And yes, flying is a little like aerial cuddling....but it's not like she can help it. She has to press. tight and hold tight if she wants to live. It could be worse. At least he's not holding her bridal style or anything.

    She smiles back as if it to say thank you, I know. I'm pretty hilarious..

    "No promises --We usually have whatever I can get here, it isn't always the best stuff. I've had better lucky with their whiskey than finding a good beer, honestly."

    "Never have a say in who you're rooming with, then?" He isn't particularly fond of that idea, if he's honest. If anything, he'd rather be shoved in a space with his brother. Better the devil you know, and all that.

    "Is it a constant barrage of awful, or are there lighter periods between?" Given that it's Hell, he wouldn't be surprised for the absolute lack of a light points between their series of insanity, but he supposes even the underworld would need time to sort out what to throw at it's prisoners next.

    "You and Caroline." He finishes his earlier middle-cut statement flatly. There is really no point in hiding it, especially not after he had barreled right into it, really. But it would all come out eventually, the spunky blonde had become important to him in those years in that place. Wild, really, when he thinks back to how against the whole thing they all had been, but possibly none more than Kol. She may not have been a Gilbert, but she was close enough by association, and he hated her for a long time, until she managed to sneak into his circle eventually.

    He shakes his head. He should have done this some other time, not stuck in some mirror maze with no real way out. "She was practically family." Which is a huge statement coming from anyone with the Mikaelson surname, but Caroline had done and dealt with plenty to earn it.

    His immediate thought is of course he knows why he's sorry. But any retort to that extent doesn't immediately happen. He's sorry for a lot of things and he isn't sure where to start the list. Being so short with Martin, for everything that went wrong or right with disrupting the Unknowing. He's sorry that it led to six months of a hospital stay with Martin apparently worrying at his side. He's sorry for things he hasn't done and things he has.

    But he isn't sorry about the choice he made that ended it all, that woke him up. He doesn't think he is, even if he's only still learning what it means.

    So what, exactly, is he apologizing for? Pick something, Jon.

    "For worrying you," he says at last. "For putting you through that."

    Billy tries not to let his full weight drop on John, but he can't stop himself from slouching forward, head hanging down. "I can't-- I still can't move."

    He could probably sob too, if John hadn't already beat him to it. This is getting ridiculous. It's uncomfortable at this point, beyond uncomfortable. Every shift of his body just reminds him how oversensitive is, each shift of his cock.

    He reaches up with his clean hand to brush through John's hair, trying to-- soothe or calm him down. He's not even sure. "I don't know what to do, John..."

    [personal profile] arachnafriendly 2020-06-10 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
    "You didn't put me through it." He sighs, setting down his tea. "I made my choice."

    Made a choice when he finally came to terms with Jon not waking up. Made a choice when Jon did wake up and his motives changed -- he wasn't losing Jon again even if he didn't care for Martin the same way. Martin doesn't know why he even bothered asking, he doesn't want Jon to apologize.

    He sits in silence for a moment, staring into the cooling tea, wondering what to say next. Where does this leave them? What are they? Is there anything left worth salvaging? (No. There's nothing. Martin is alone with his feelings, left with longing that settles in his heart and eat away at him. Jon deserves love more than Martin can give.)

    "So what now?"

    He'll save the bridal carry for when she's not in a state to hang on or... for whenever he feels like fucking with her, or both.

    They're getting closer to the area where they're setting up the carnival, and Homelander takes a break from scanning the ground to make a face.

    "Whiskey tastes like fucking gasoline."

    He'd rather swallow a live Molotov cocktail.

    Wynonna makes a face of her own at that bold and inaccurate statement Homelander just made, as if he had just insulted some deep religious belief in her. Which sounds about right. She may not believe in god, but she believes in whiskey.

    "Maybe you've been drinking the wrong whiskey. Good whiskey does not taste like gasoline, how dare you."

    Yeah well, that's what he's here for. Being an Edgy Atheist and insulting all you hold dear.

    He hasn't been drinking any whiskey, for the record. He tried it once, out of curiosity, and once was more than enough, thanks.

    "Okay," he says, humoring her. "Premium gasoline, then."

    There are a couple of demons having a shambling stroll below them, looking like they might've had a bit of gasoline themselves.

    Sure, it might improve the human, but still, insulting. Like being not human is a punishment.

    [Styx considers his own transformation to a goblin sort of a punishment, but there's no need for him to go into that now.]

    But sadly, Wynonna has to stop talking about her love for alcohol for a moment because she spots a couple of demons beneath them.

    "I think I recognize the one on the left -- he's one of the ones that whipped me."

    It's hard for her to be 100% certain as her eyesight isn't used to trying to spot people from so high up but....she's pretty sure....
