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

    "Nnngh-" John gasps, the tugging in his hair making his eyes flutter and his body go limp. There is a glossy sheen over his eyes and he isn't in the right frame of mind to worry about how they spill over when he squeezes his eyes shut.

    "Yes-" A gasp and a choked sob cuts him off as he clenches down hard and his back arches from the bed.

    "Jerk me off." It doesn't sound like a command, regardless of John's intentions. It just sounds like he's hurting in that dubious space between not feeling good kind of hurt and nothing feels better than this kind of hurt.

    His hand slides from John's hair, over his throat and down his body until he can wrap around his neglected dick. Everything is intense, maybe too intense, but that doesn't stop him from snapping his hips forward or jerking his fingers over John in the same rhythm.

    "Don't come yet."

    "N-no-" what does he mean, 'don't come yet'? John can't hold out. Not with a hard dick up his arse that he's spasming around in spurts of tension and a hand on his cock wanking him hard. He tries to close his legs but it brings little relief.

    "I need to," he warns, feeling on the verge of being ripped apart.

    There's a grunt as John protests, Billy's hand, jaw going tight before he relents. One hand reaches down to grab at one of John's legs, shoving it up towards his chest as he moves harder, faster. He still can't pull out really, but with the way John's muscles spasm around him, the way he moves--

    It's enough to have him letting out a deep groan as he comes again, pausing as he spills himself into John. Somehow he manages to keep his other hand pumping over John's dick, even if the rhythm falters a little bit.

    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.

    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..."

    Too much of a good thing, evidently, doesn't make it even better. Mounting frustration at himself, glancing down and knowing that he's somehow still a little hard, body still somehow wanting more on top of that feeling of running on empty, past the point of being tired, and that sense of being lost, like everything about him is just wrong since he got back to the hotel, and the sobbing just doesn't want to stop. He hasn't emptied enough alcohol bottles to fill them up with his unhappiness.

    The only thing stopping him from having a complete meltdown is that he doesn't want to do it in front of someone. Especially not when they've still got their fucking dick up his arse.

    [personal profile] noassgardian 2020-06-11 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
    "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.

    "Nothing's fine, John... Nothing's ever fine, but especially after that hospital and then this--" He makes himself stop because getting pissed is going to do absolutely zero for either of them. It isn't like he can go off and wage a war against Lucifer right now, or possibly ever.

    He lets out a breath, nuzzling absently into John, eyes shutting. "Hopefully this is over with soon and we can move... Fucking in the club sounded more fun than it is."

    [personal profile] conjobs 2020-06-12 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
    It's hard to remember right now that this was supposed to be fun. Even though he was veritable doing alright, even starting to have fun just a short while ago.

    Talk about the hospital though makes him clam up and withdraw. It's a difficult topic for him and shutting down is almost an automatic reaction at this point.

    It's impossible not to get a face full of Billy when they're quite literally joined at the hip so John just closes his eyes and turns his head away, trying to bite back the emotions that had been getting the better of him.

    [personal profile] noassgardian 2020-06-13 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
    Billy can't really do much to give John space, so he just tries to stay quiet for now, fingertips idly soothing wherever he can reach, rubbing and tracing idle patterns in an attempt to--

    Well, he doesn't know what. Comfort though, hopefully.

    Tonight did not go as fun as he'd wanted it to.
