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

    c. something in the air (ii) - WARNING FOR USUAL A/B/O things 5'6 alpha?

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-05-24 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Setsuna would have been drawn to Nezumi without the wings. In fact, even before he feels Nezumi's hand, he has a scent he rather enjoys. He turns and notices the wings first and foremost, drawing his eyes in with their rainbow glow.]

    'Zumi? [He drops the first syllable in surprise and his wings fluff up, before his look of surprise turns into a possessive smirk. He tries to turn everything around, his arm reaching out to wrap around Nezumi's back.]

    [He has his own wings (six in all), but the usual white is splattered with blue towards the tips, with an icy sheen to them, and they're not isolated to his back. He has plumage on his face, elbows and a small set of wings at his ankles. The heat rolling off Nezumi does nothing to deter him. Setsuna seems to welcome it.]

    [He leans in closer than he would ever, especially with Nezumi. Friend or not, he got the impression a long time ago Nezumi typically kept his distance. He is cool with that. Tonight? None of that seems to apply.]


    Not someone like. I've been waiting for you. [Setsuna says this with a purred conviction, mixed with a tone of awe as though he only now realizes it.]
    jelliclerats: commissioned; please dns (dramatics)

    it's okay; alphas come in all shapes and sizes

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-05-25 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Setsuna is right: normally, Nezumi keeps his distance. The only exceptions normally come when he decides otherwise, but tonight, none of that matters. The survival instinct that normally craves his own space has been overtaken by the need to be touched.

    Like a cat who wags his tail at being stroked, the color dances throughout Nezumi's wings when Setsuna's arm embraces him, showing his satisfaction. It's not nearly enough, but it's the beginning of something that might be.

    Setsuna was the first almost friend Nezumi made here. It's never been sexual or even romantic. It's ironic considering Setsuna's the one who earned the nickname of 'puppy'. He'd never seen the hyper, happy boy as an alpha.

    And now, he's melting at his touch.

    Closing the distance, Nezumi wraps both arms around him and bends down, lips grazing along his jaw. Maybe he isn't the most submissive submissive, but Nezumi's never been good with rules. ]


    So why are we still waiting?
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Don't give a fuck)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-05-28 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
    [There were darker parts of Setsuna that were possessive and needy, but without his girlfriend in Hell, he had no reason to show them. And he was also learning to be better about them and respect her more.]

    [Being an alpha brings all of those feelings to the forefront. And the color dancing on Nezumi's wings makes Setsuna grin as they greedily watch the beautiful display.]

    [Setsuna's terrible with rules, too, usually.]


    I'm not. [Normally, he talks far more, but tonight, Setsuna's arm slips down to Nezumi's waist, then a little lower, until his hand rests just at the top curve of his hip, and pulls Nezumi closer.]

    [Never one to be outdone, alpha or not, he lifts up a little to hungrily press his lips to Nezumi's.]
    jelliclerats: commissioned; please dns (close up; to the side; smile)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-05-29 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
    [ For all of his faults, Nezumi has never been the possessive kind, though it helps that he's rarely had anyone worth possessing. Tonight, it isn't about finding an Alpha to be all his so much as finding an Alpha worthy of him.

    Nezumi's ego hasn't changed in the slightest, even with the increased need and lust that makes Setsuna's very touch feel like electric impulses shooting throughout his body.

    A gloved hand pushes through blonde hair as his hips roll into Setsuna, offering them both the barest of friction and promising more as the kiss deepens. Nezumi explores the inside of the other man's mouth, his tongue exploring the taste and committing it to memory. Without realizing this is a moment frozen in time, something that will pass in a relative blink of the eye, Nezumi believes he's looking for a mate, an Alpha strong enough to keep up with him. ]
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Smirk)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-02 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
    [Setsuna, on the other hand, was all possessive, but never very good about thinking beyond right now.]

    [One hand cups around a bottom cheek, before gripping, though gently, for now. Nezumi's offer of friction isn't remotely missed, and the only reason Setsuna pulls out of the kiss is to open his mouth.]


    You're beautiful. [He practically breathes the first part.]

    Right here? Out in the open? [He wants that. For everyone to see, and everyone to know.]
    jelliclerats: (profile; epxlaining)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-06-02 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Nezumi does love an audience. He's not someone who would normally perform sexually, but neither of them are acting on their usual instincts.

    Lips kiss at Setsuna's throat. ]


    If we do, we'll get every Alpha in the room excited.

    [ Instead of a warning, it almost sounds like the idea excites Nezumi. His plan is to find a strong Alpha, one capable of claiming and keeping him, one that isn't afraid of a challenge. ]

    Are you ready for that?
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Smirk)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-06 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Setsuna, in his right mind, no, wouldn't care for an audience, but this wouldn't be the first time an aphrodisiac-laced situation caused him to perform openly. And in those times, it had been fairly titillating.]

    [His hands follow Nezumi's hand, gently fingering through his hair, pushing his head against whatever it is Nezumi wants to kiss. Forceful, but still slightly considerate. Some vestiges of Setsuna still remain.]


    I'm always ready. [Setsuna says it with a feral grin. It's not misplaced arrogance that comes from his battle-tested posture, the firm grip he keeps on Nezumi, or the intent look in his eyes as he bores into Nezumi's. It's confidence.]

    Let them try to do anything about it. I'll take them all on.
    jelliclerats: (sad memories)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-06-09 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Without shame, while lips still kiss and tease any available skin, Nezumi's hand drops low to land between Setsuna's legs. Fingers cup and massage, urging him to further excitement. While someone who is willing to resort or ignore violence, he's not someone who normally enjoys it. Now, the idea of their sex-crazed joining in the bar causing a fight or two is as exciting as the sex itself.

    Almost. Either way, the world is likely lucky Nezumi wasn't really born an Omega. ]


    Then... my cute little Alpha. What are you waiting for? An invitation?
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Smirk)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-11 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
    Heyyy.... [Setsuna growls the word out, and one hand reaches up for Nezumi's hair. Not that he disliked Nezumi touching him, clearly, if his bodily reaction of hardening is any indication.]

    Don't try to tell me what to do.

    [Setsuna did start to push, using his body, trying to get Nezumi moving to the rooms.]
    jelliclerats: (finger to chin; smirk)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-06-14 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Nezumi grins. Setsuna is getting an edge, is he? Not that the actor minds; he enjoys a bit of edge. Maybe not normally, considering Shion is mostly rounds, but this isn't their normal desires.

    As Setsuna guides, there's no fight though he surprised to find they're going for a room after all. Stage fright? ]


    Oh. Have you changed your mind? Was the public viewing too much for you?
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Smirk)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-17 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
    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.]
    jelliclerats: (laugh)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-06-18 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ It was an amusing idea when Setsuna was into it but if his Alpha has lost the interest, Nezumi isn't married to the idea. He didn't survive as long as he did without being adaptive.

    The wings flutter, betraying his agreement with the idea. Not that he would have hidden it otherwise. Even if Nezumi is too forward for the typical Omega, an Alpha that can be bossed around isn't one that's very interesting. Setsuna is a good balance between knowing what he wants and listening to what Nezumi wanted. ]


    Then, privacy we will have.

    [ Reaching down, Nezumi grabs Setsuna's hand and pulls him toward one of the many extra rooms. ]
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Smirk)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-20 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
    [Setsuna isn't the most thoughtful person in the world, and wings require forethought he lacked earlier. Especially when they both have them. He grins to Nezumi's cooperation, but

    [There were some things Setsuna was willing to acquiesce on, especially because he did want to please Nezumi, but feeling like the other was leading was too much. He growls and steps forward.]

    I'm in charge. I'm picking the room.
    jelliclerats: commissioned; please dns (dramatics)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-06-23 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Nezumi isn't the typical Omega, but he's an Omega all the same. The command sends a thrill of excitement running through his veins. While under normal circumstances, he needs to feel a semblance of control, it's now much more thrilling to have one with Alpha blood taking charge. ]

    And what room would you pick?

    [ While he concedes, Nezumi doesn't do so without the teasing, almost musical tone. ]
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Sweet Smile)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-06-28 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
    That one. [He points to one. It's not particularly special, but as Setsuna doesn't any favor with the people in charge, he can't get one of the better rooms.]

    [He still takes a certain joy in the tone of Nezumi's voice. Setsuna nuzzles against Nezumi's neck.]
    Does it please you?
    jelliclerats: (eyes cut off; smirk)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-07-02 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
    It's not the room that's going to please me.

    [ The nuzzle earns a smile along with his purr of an answer. 'Where' doesn't matter. It's the who and what that has Nezumi interested.

    Inside the room, they did at least provide a bed. It isn't something they have to use, but it's always nice to have options.

    Once the door closes, Nezumi turns to fully face the smaller man and wraps his arms around his body. ]


    I'm depending on you for that.
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Soft smile)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-07-07 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
    You please me, I'll please you back.

    [Setsuna is blatantly demanding on this, lips curled in a clear suggestive smirk as he reaches for Nezumi's hand, intention being to place it over his now bulging crotch, to let Nezumi know what he means, and how much Nezumi so far pleases him.]
    jelliclerats: (close up; smile; a little creepy)

    [personal profile] jelliclerats 2020-07-15 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Almost as if this is a dance they've both rehearsed, Nezumi's fingers conform to the shape of the bulge and begins to massage at the erection. The smile remains both lustful and seductive. Nezumi is accustomed to trade, and this is one he gladly accepts.

    Leaning forward, he kisses at Setsuna's lips, free hand running through golden strands. ]


    I think I can manage that.
    failed_antichrist: AS manga base - Kaori Yuki (Content smile)

    [personal profile] failed_antichrist 2020-07-18 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Currently, Setsuna wasn't himself, but later, he might have to apologize for his actions.]

    [Needy, Setsuna gasps to the feel of Nezumi's hand on him, and on hand reaches up to grab a fistful of hair, nails grazing across Nezumi's scalp.]


    Yes. I bet you can. [He still sounds pleased, regardless.]
