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

    "Long enough to know you're not likely to go anywhere any time soon, and you can't do anything to stop the shit that happens here, then?" Because, boy, is that familiar.

    He nods, "Fair enough."

    "Containment Reversal, and bar that, Combustion spell?" They were the two most obvious tries in his mind, in the basic arsenal. She's probably not wrong in assuming it won't be that simple, but they won't know til they try. "You have any ideas, yourself?" He won't discount her cleverness or ability simply because of her age.

    If that's what you really want.

    [Setsuna shows teeth when he smirks on that one as he reaches up to put a hand in Nezumi's hair. What he really wants is to touch the wings, but they look fragile, like tissue paper.]

    It's just easier, on a bed. Especially since you'll need to be on your hands and knees. [It was one of the easier ways to avoid harming the wings. There were others, but Setsuna, like this, wanted to be on top, too much.]

    It's a friendship Bucky's pretty grateful for. And in a little bit, he might even be more grateful.

    "Me neither," Bucky agrees, far too soon. His words don't go any further as he's certain he caught a flash out of the corner of his eyes. He turns, just to see himself so tall and skinny he snorts.

    No problems there.

    He turns another step and realizes what's bothering him.

    "Hey...Clint? Didn't we come from that direction?" He points from the section he is sure they came from, but it looks like solid mirrors, now. At least when he asks it's with a calm tone.
    endofcompliance: (2.0 - no approval)

    [personal profile] endofcompliance 2020-06-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
    [His jaw clenches, first, and Bucky gives a controlled breath out, before he turns to Fitz to answer.]

    I have no ties with Hydra. And no. [He looks Fitz in the eyes, intensely, because he doesn't want to repeat this conversation.] I am not spying for anyone.

    [With that, he goes back to hammering, but does it slow, one swift, but controlled swing, barely moving his hand to ensure he didn't puncture through the materials.]

    "I'll put my mouth where I want," Setsuna retorts, more for fun, and to test Teddy, than anything else. Good thing he did before Teddy quickened his pace, because by then, Setsuna could barely manage anything but quick gasps and moans, lifting his bottom to meet Teddy's thrusts.

    "Annnhhh...." Yeah, so much for mouthing off.

    [personal profile] hybrid_prince 2020-06-17 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    "You'll put it where I say," Teddy counters, thrusting harder as if to punctuate his point. And god there probably isn't a more beautiful and dirty sound than their skin slapping together.

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-17 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
    ( Setsuna can only stare. He can't even fly that fast. )

    So...you super fast or something? Like, really, really fast?

    ( He frowns to hear that. ) I guess it was too much to hope for it was just this place. It has a bad effect.

    It does make saving lives easier. [ Yes, yes, he knows all of this, he thinks as he turns her hand over in his to inspect it further. ]

    Unusual growth for human hands... [ He mutters, a frown on his face, pedipalps droop slightly. ] Did you eat something?

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-18 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
    "Ahh!" Setsuna can't think any further, and all of his defiance dissipates in pleasure. He'll do anything to feel Teddy hit the right spot, and that means slamming his own body against Teddy's, welcoming every sound, and the sweaty heat between them, which seems to cool his own fever.

    "I'll...I'll do what you say," Setsuna finally agrees, defeated, by all things, wanting more.
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Content smile)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-18 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
    [Setsuna can't blame her for that. It's not like he even feels like being religious after what he's been through. It's a relief to have a different conversation, even if it's own fault, and his big mouth, that brought up God, Heaven and Hell.]

    Oh? Huh. [He laughs a little.] That'd be better than the demons, that's for sure. It be hilarious if those big guys were just some human in dress up.
    hybrid_prince: Theodore "Teddy" Altman from Young Avengers Volume II (Default)

    [personal profile] hybrid_prince 2020-06-18 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
    Well, that's all he needs to hear. Teddy leans over Setsuna's back, pushing their bodies further together, feeling the skin to skin as he keeps rolling his hips to keep going. Once he's just short of covering the other man, pressing those wings down with the weight of his won body, he drags his teeth against Setsuna's neck.

    "Submit to me."
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Shock)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
    He breathes in, both at the slight pain over his neck, only to find he wants more of it, and to Teddy's words.

    "N-n, n...." He tries to even form the word no, only to fail. "Ahhn." He arches his back, trying to make Teddy stay pressed against that spot that makes his world cloud over in bliss.
    hybrid_prince: Theodore "Teddy" Altman from Young Avengers Volume II (Default)

    [personal profile] hybrid_prince 2020-06-18 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
    It's a good cry. It's wonderful, it's got his heart racing, enough for Teddy to act without thinking. To bite, hard, into Setsuna's neck. His. Everyone would know this was his!
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Smirk)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-18 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
    He has that burning tingle that feels like he's about to come, but it doesn't actually happen.

    Setsuna cries out louder when he's bit, eyes rolled up, wings flapping for a second, then pausing in a shudder.
    hybrid_prince: Theodore "Teddy" Altman from Young Avengers Volume II (Default)

    [personal profile] hybrid_prince 2020-06-18 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
    Good boy. Very good boy. Teddy almost growls as he keeps his teeth in the other man's neck, in part because, well, he's actually almost there. So close. Another few, hard thrusts and his hands grip bruisingly hard at Setsuna's hips as he sinks in one last time. And it feels like he comes forever, so much, more than normal, but he doesn't think about that. Just about how good it is. ABout... about how suddenly Setsuna's feeling worlds tighter, a heat and pressure around the base of his cock that is both impossible and WONDERFUL at the same time.
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (That smile)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-18 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
    "Ahnnn...." There's a pitiful mewl from him as the intensity if having his neck gripped in teeth like that starts to burn more. He moves his head a little, but doesn't put in enough effort to rip his neck away.

    At this point, Setsuna can barely move his body anymore. Between his desire, and how tight everything feels, his bottom isn't going anywhere with ease, but he still tries.

    "Please," he whimpers out. He doesn't even know what he's pleading for.
    hybrid_prince: Theodore "Teddy" Altman from Young Avengers Volume II (Default)

    [personal profile] hybrid_prince 2020-06-18 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
    Please what? Teddy sighs and lets his teeth go. And he even rocks a bit in Setsuna, not pulling out.

    "A few. No one as bad as this so far, but it seems to be getting worse." At least Natasha has gotten worse. When this started, it was claws and fangs, the kind of thing you could overlook or ignore. The sort of thing that some people developed in Hell from time to time as a matter of course as they became corrupted.

    "There seems to be a lot of it around the club. Might avoid that if you haven't been already."

    Of course, the fact Natasha can comment on it means that she hasn't.
    deaddrop: (oaphantes pallidulus)

    [personal profile] deaddrop 2020-06-18 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
    And breathing is all Natasha can do. Even that is a struggle through the pain, unlike anything Natasha has ever experienced. She's been shot before, electrocuted, choked. She's been stabbed, broken bones. She's pulled teeth and toenails as part of her training, to prepare her for torture she was likely to face.

    In Hell, she lost a hand.

    None of that prepared Natasha for this. The pain shoots up her leg and spreads out in radials that make no sense. She struggles to process the fact that her foot hurts when it's no longer attached—and something else hurts when it hasn't completely grown in yet. And with a sickening certainty she knows that it's coming. She can feel it, pupating inside her skin.

    Just breathing takes all her composure. "Shit," she groans between waves of pain. "The pants are going to have to come off."

    Blood already soaks through the lower leg, and it's spreading up past her knee.
    deaddrop: (obscuriphantes bacelarae)

    [personal profile] deaddrop 2020-06-18 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
    And in this case, Natasha would rather share the information than keep it to herself. While she doesn't expect things to play out the same way, knowing the precedent might still help them all avoid surprises.

    "Well, last year there were demon clowns who kidnapped people and tortured them, leading up to the big show at the end where people were dismembered," that's the quick and dirty version. "Haven't seen any of them creeping around so far, which I'll take for a good sign, but I doubt this year will be better."

    A pause, then she adds, "Some of the rides weren't great either. Reliving your worst memories in the haunted house, things like that."
    deaddrop: (eridantes erigonoides)

    [personal profile] deaddrop 2020-06-18 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
    I'm usually not, but sometimes it's worth dipping in to see what's happening. Keep an eye on what's happening.

    [She snorts slightly, then drops a piece of advice she knows he's not going to need.]

    I don't recommend it.

    [The fact is, it's usually a mistake.]

    They are pretty though. I don't think I've seen something like them before. Not in hell.

    wtf i thought i tagged this like fucking weeks ago

    [personal profile] defaulthawke 2020-06-18 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
    Garrett's eyes are dark with lust, tearing her apart with a furious heat as those delicate arms wind around his neck. Héctor is so fucking pretty like this, all sharp angles and delicate lines and long hair he has to run his fingers through. They twist in her hair to hold her tight as his other arm wraps around her. With a broad hand splayed over the small of her back he pulls her in close, hips tight enough together for her to feel just how much he wants her.

    "Since you asked so nicely," he rumbles in response, catching Héctor's lip in his sharp teeth. "But if we don't move now, I'm going to fuck you right here in front of everyone."
    deaddrop: (pic#13351859)

    [personal profile] deaddrop 2020-06-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
    Normally, it's not an answer Natasha would give. She's always so thoughtful about her words, considering them from each angle like a jewelry and stringing them together with layers of possible meanings and implication. Always saying so much less than she implies, even in most casual conversations. Even in the heat of passion, there's always some part of her that stays above the physical and above the emotional.

    But sometimes in Hell, just once or twice now, something has compromised her carefully cultivated reserve.

    This time, it seems to be the heat from his body. It pours over her, leaving her exposed and raw, driven by instincts she's never allowed to be so exposed. And in the moment, it feels amazing.

    There's no shame as he uncovers her scars. Natasha tears herself free of her clothes in fits and starts, when she can pull herself away from his body long enough to navigate out of a sleeve or shrug off her bra. All the better to feel more of him pressed against her. She nips at his neck again, then more firmly at his shoulder. Her hands find their way back to his chest, then his waistband, fingers possessive as they toy with his belt buckle.

    Maybe it's better at this point not to say anything at all?
    unpocoloco: (NSFW to noise making)

    [personal profile] unpocoloco 2020-06-18 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
    It's so strange the way he looks at her (him). It's almost feral and in any other place, with anyone else, he might be afraid but he's not. His neck arcs, lips parting as his hair is pulled. The touch to his lower back shoots waves of heat through him and pools it again with the ache below his abdomen. He can feel his own lack, with the close contact, but in the moment it seems perfect, because he's never wanted to take anything inside so badly as now.

    "I'm not sure I'd stop you," He admits, in that soft and breathy voice. But there's enough sense left that she (he) reaches out to the side to gesture toward a room that way. Only that means letting go, pulling apart... no. With arms hooked, she lifts a leg high, trying to get it around his waist. It's awkwardly bent with the demonic changes and it prevents simply jumping up. Héctor says, "That way. Please."

    Garrett will get the picture.
