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

    I'll only hand you the nerdy stuff if you keep talking like that.

    [He heads for his bedroom though, pushing the door open to collect a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt. It's all black, so Tommy will just have to deal.]

    Here you go. I feel like I should warn you that whenever you get assigned a room, the first month, you share it with two other people. It's kinda awkward.

    "John." Yeah, no. This is a situation no one ever wants to be in. Sobbing after sex is generally... well, not a great then. Even less when you can't move away. There's some instinct that itches at him to protect though, comfort. He's sick of this place playing with his feelings but he takes a breath to try to calm himself, as he nudges under John's jaw.

    "It'll-- look, we'll be back to normal in no time." What Billy would like to do is sob right now, frustration and helplessness gnawing at him inside, but he doesn't quite let himself.

    "You want to try to move over, John? Maybe moving to our sides or something will help." He doesn't know.

    "Or you lying on top of me."

    He's fine. He's just more sober than he should ever be and they're apparently stuck like this and not wanting to talk about anything with anyone is causing the upset to fester into something overwhelming. Clearly, the epitome of fine.

    Minutes that feel like hours pass and John just looks like he's tired. His body might want to keep going but he's on the verge of giving up. He feels dirty, and not in a sexy or arousing way, and wants to clean up, but there's nothing to clean up with.

    "It's fine," he says quietly with his eyes closed, trying not to think about the last- few weeks? Month, pretty much. He doesn't even know what 'normal' he's supposed to be going back to, anymore.

    Alright. That's good enough for him. He lands them slowly, at a bit of a distance from the shambling, laughing pair.

    If this turns out to be a case of mistaken demon identity, it'll be deeply tragic, but... yeah, Homelander's not even gonna pretend to give a single fuck. Anybody remotely adjacent to messing with him or his people is fair game.

    "Feel free to start without me," he tells her. "I'll be back in a bit."

    He moves fast, beside her one moment and right behind the spare demon the next, grabbing the creature by the back of the neck and shooting upwards into the sky, leaving Wynonna's buddy to do a confused quadruple take, wondering where the fuck his companion has gone.

    She'll have a minute or so to get the reunion party started, while Homelander finds a ditch to dump the second fella.

    To be fair, Vanya isn't out of line for trying to protect herself, and an angry Mikaelson is definitely something to try to protect yourself from. But he doesn't have the near absolute invulnerability he used to, so he's more careful these days.

    He eases his hold on her, lowers her back to her feet and eyes her cautiously with the particularly nasty looking pieces of glass and wood splinters. She's powerful, he'll give her that. Even the shock of his attempt at distracting her hadn't wrecked her ability to concentrate and keep her momentum. Or perhaps it had nothing to do with concentration at all.

    "That's some scream you've got," he has another trick up his sleeve if it becomes necessary, if she doesn't back down or continues on her little onslaught, here. It won't be nice, and she might end up passing out from the pain of it-- but it would stop her, and depending on how far she takes this, that might be the better option. "Now, how about you just put the glass down and we start over."

    Cute, Setsuna, being that eager. He pulls the knuckle back with a low chuckle. His own hands come off of Setsuna entirely so he can carefully shed his pants. Yeah, he was rude and horrible to Setsuna's clothes, having torn them off, but his own pants get some serious care.

    Once that's done he moves to position himself before finally pushing in.

    "See, you can plead."

    Really?

    [Once he's done he moves to Tommy's side and puts a hand on the energy drink.]

    You've gotta stop drinking that, Tommy. Things here are bad for you in ways you don't know. I don't want you hurt.
    middlefinger: (all inside the palm of my hand)

    [personal profile] middlefinger 2020-06-11 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yeah, Wynonna's not even going to begin to pretend like she cares if she kills the wrong demon. They're all fair game as far as she's concerned right now. She's almost impressed as Homelander grabs the other demon and takes off with him. It's smart. Strategic. It means they can't gang up on her.

    It's also something she never would have thought of. They make a good team.

    But there's not a lot of time to dwell on that. She doesn't grab Peacemaker at first. She doesn't want to make this too fast. So she grabs he knife she usually keeps tucked into her boot and throws it, hitting the demon clear in the shoulder.

    "I heard there was going to be a knife throwing game so I thought I might practice my skills," She taunts, catching the demon's attention now, distracting him from his missing friend.

    "It's you, the bitch with the mouth."

    Wynonna laughs a little. "If I had a dollar every time someone called me that." But then there's no more time for banter because the demon is rushing towards her, and this time she does pull out her beloved security blanket gun, aiming it at his forehead.

    "Let this be a reminder for your friends, I'm nobody's plaything."

    The barrel of Peacemaker glows a bright orange, like it always does in demonic presences and she takes the kill shot, hitting the demon square between the eyes. He drops dead and for a moment, the coil of anger in her chest loosens a little. Now if they can just find the one that compelled her next, they'll be in business. For now she'll be grabbing her knife back, trying to wipe it off the best she can before putting it away.

    "I don't owe you anything, you little shit," he snarls, seizing Dodger's hair and yanking him back against the wall. "You'll take what I give you and thank me for it."

    Garrett leans in and rakes his long, sharp fangs over Dodger's throat, a lusty growl rumbling up from inside him. His thigh presses harder between Dodger's legs, letting the man rut if he wishes, as Garrett teases him with his teeth.

    "Get us to your room," he breathes. "Now."

    He yelps when he's pushed back, but it does absolutely nothing to discourage him. Instead he grins, giggles, tipping his head back and rutting eagerly against the older man's thigh. His own claws dig sharply into Garrett's shoulders, as he whines softly to have him closer.

    "Yes, sir."

    He has to catch his breath, struggle to remember where he is before he can teleport them. At first he fails, only getting them to the other side of the room. It takes a few more tries, and way more detours than usual before he gets them to his room - and each time the world seems to burst apart violently, pushing the air from Garrett's lungs before it warps back to normal.

    When they finally arrive he falls backward onto his bed, his chest heaving from the effort. Even winded and panting, he spreads his legs eagerly for his alpha, beckoning him closer with a playful wag of his tail.

    Vanya's feet hit the floor and it's easier to breathe. The glass is still swirling in the air, ready to be used and making a shimmer effect as the light catches all of it.

    How about you just put the glass down and we start over.

    She can hear his heartbeat. Not galloping like someone who's panicking, but fast, tense. It's slower than her heartbeat. She's tempted to tear him apart, to use his heartbeat to pull his spine out of his body, and it's that thought that makes her eyes turn brown again and the glass and wood fall to the ground.

    She is a formerly ordinary woman in a white suit standing in a complete mess of her own making, and she just plotted to murder a stranger in the most gruesome way.

    Vanya's hands shake as she wipes her brow. She's broken out in a cold sweat.

    "Start over," she murmurs, her hands still shaking.

    The idea makes him shudder, deepened by the feeling of his cock continuing to empty deep inside Barry's body. It hasn't stopped, this endless drawn-out thing, but actual orgasm isn't upon him yet. Garrett's trying to hold it off so he can finish this thought, finish spinning these words the way he wants.

    "I want to see you full," he rumbles, holding Barry down hard with a hard, sucking his to his throat. His hand reaches for Barry's cock, stroking and tugging needfully, wanting so badly to see this soft pretty thing come undone on his cock. "I want to see you round and heavy and full with my child so everyone can see that you're mine. Oh, god. I'm gonna fill you up."

    Finally those vibrations, the grinding, and the lusty words catch up to him, sending another surge of electric bliss through his body along with a renewed burst of cum inside. It's so, so, so much- god, at this rate he really will fill Barry up.

    "We are," Maul confirmed. He stopped, noticing the mirrors had shifted again. A strange and unsettling feeling began to seed itself in him. Mild for now, but noticeable. "I seem to be from a different galaxy than most. The home planet for most is Iridonia, but I and other subspecies hail from Dathomir."

    He inhaled, then turned. When at first you don't succeed, cheat. Although whether reaching out with the force would do anything was yet to be determined. It acted strangely here. Still, there was someone he could latch to that may guide him. Ah, and there she was. A short nod to turn down a different hallway. "I presume you and your kind are as well? Some here have never seen beyond their planet. A strange thing to imagine."

    [ Finn's brain still hasn't managed to kick into gear yet. Even with his newfound stamina, he's mentally wrung. The only thing on his mind is how good- how perfect his mate is and making sure Poe knows it.

    One hand stops lazily wandering around and finds it's way to Poe's lower stomach, holding his palm there. Poe's not the only one with the sudden pregnancy kind, apparently, though his is coupled with something very strong and very possessive. Even his leg wraps around one of Poe's, like he's trying to wrap around his Omega to keep him safe. ]

    That look in her eyes seconds ago-- the one where she's thinking of all the ways she could eviscerate him if she so chose-- is one Kol has held in his own. Oftentimes moments before he ripped someone's heart out of their chest. From murderous to mousy in seconds. The shift in her is jarring, that's for sure.

    "Was that magic you were doing?" he asks carefully, still ready to defend himself if he needs to, but she seems to have relatively calmed down a bit at this point. He approaches her cautiously, not sure how she might react, so he doesn't get too close.
