DEC TEST DRIVE MEME

WELCOME, VAMPIRES!

Welcome to the Undying Court Test Drive Meme! This post will allow players to test drive their AU characters in the setting, as well as meet fresh faces or even connect with those they have preexisting CR with. As with anything involved in the setting, this post will likely contain: violence, enthrallment, torture, and sexual content.

Regarding continuity, all TDM threads can be taken as in-game canon if desired. Please keep in mind that the game proper will begin in mid December, in the Winter Season, so Students/Novices should create their prompts under the assumption that the TDM takes place during the season prior to the one they will be apping as. This means that students planning to app as first season novices will be visiting Castle Courtsheart prior to their Beginning. In other words, if you plan to app a student as a second season, the TDM will take place during their first, and so on.

Feel free to brush up on the Premise, Vampire Powers, and head over to the FAQ/Game Info page if you have any questions!

• Make sure you are aware of the Rules when posting your top-level. (Content warnings are always welcome!)
• Please format your Top-level in this format: Character Name (AU Name if different) | Canon | Teacher/Student | Court
• As a reminder, a Test Drive sample is required in order to app.
• If you have any questions specific to the TDM, ask them in the Questions thread below!

NEW ARRIVALS

New arrivals will be starting their first season in the winter, but they're welcomed to the castle early, under the watchful eyes of the Silver Court. Upon arrival, they will be shown to a room by a human whose eyes glow softly from within, with vacant smiles. Thralls. There, the human thralls will draw them a bath and bring them new clothes to wear to their first meeting. These are rich, expensive things made of high quality fabric. Whether it's a silk dress and a heavy velvet cowl, or a fine pants and a vest made from a brocade, the servants will provide. The new initiate's old clothes will be burned after, in a symbol of the life they are leaving behind. If they are hungry, they will be provided food. If they need anything at all, they need only ask their new servants.

Later that night they are taken to a grand hall, with high arched ceilings and candles burning in chandeliers. There are figures painted overhead, beautiful and entwined. Some have their eyes are colored to match the courts, others are gracefully placed in their death, with blood dripping from necks and wrists.

Balconies line the hall behind a forest of pillars, and vampires all watch as the group walk through (some more hungrily than others).

"Welcome to your first undying season, initiates," a pale, silver-haired vampire calls. They have silver eyes are clad in silver robes, but command the attention of everyone in attendance. They have a beauty that seems neither male nor female. They are standing at the center of a wide semi-circle of other vampires, "As the Silver Court's acting voice at this end of the Autumn season, allow me to introduce you to the Houses that will be your new homes."

The vampire, Revar, gives the newcomers an overview of all of the courts—Blue, Red, Gold, Silver, and Black—and then invites those already claimed by their Courts to join the vampires who will be their Makers.

Revar offers the Foundlings who are left a gentle, knowing smile, and then allows them to be chosen. They are like the last sheep left at the auction, and the vampires who take them may not be the enthused about it. Nevertheless, Revar waits patiently until all have found a maker.

Now that they are paired up it is expected—indeed, required—that the initiate drink from their maker. That is their Beginning. Only once they have truly begun can they can be considered novices.

AUTUMN NOX

Silver Court is in season and for the Autumn Nox it holds a large symposium, inviting all the best vampire minds from around lands nearby and far. The whole castle is abuzz with new activity. The stables are packed full of horses, carriages litter the grounds, but somehow the castle has enough rooms to house all the new arrivals.

Novices will find that some of these vampires have not seen a human-novice in a very, very long time. These vampires might see the human-novices more like specimens, curious about their every move. They won't bite, but novices may find themselves observed as they wander the castle and its grounds.

The symposium itself is open to anyone at the castle. Scholars can present on any topic at all. Novices will find that these range from the incredibly mundane (you've always wanted to attend a history of bottom-feeding river fish, haven't you?) to the truly fascinating (new insights into how vampire hearts work) to the downright strange (the symposium has a range of lectures very close to dawn about the sharing of vampire...fluids). Seasoned novices with their own Autumn classes to attend are expected to keep up with their studies, but some teachers may let them out of a session to attend the lectures and workshops of the symposium.

The Silver Court vampires are incredibly busy between running the symposium and trying to help the new novices get settled in. They may need some volunteers to lend a hand with setting up rooms or helping scholars find their way around. In fact, volunteers might find themselves leading scholars down to the second kitchen for a bite to eat, a strong reminder that even these demure learners are still monsters who must drink blood.

PUMPKINS-GONE-WILD

The symposium isn't all that the autumn season brings. The Silver Court’s talents are on display in other ways—sometimes not in ways another had particularly hoped. An overly zealous youngblood in the Silver Court tried to grow a few extra pumpkins for the occasion and ended up with a few too many! The pumpkin vines break out of the green house and start sprouting pumpkins everywhere. These are no ordinary pumpkins, they will sprout and grow and become fully formed in the course of a night. Better keep an eye out for those vines or else your room might become full of pumpkins! Luckily, the pumpkins aren’t rotting any time soon (they’ll last until winter, or so the Silver Court vampires are saying), but it can be pretty inconvenient for them to grow everywhere. Start cutting those vines to pieces, and hope they don’t try to entangle you in the process.

LIBRARY CLEAN-UP

Meanwhile, with all the scholars in town are making a mess of the library, much to the Silver Court vampire’s dismay. Books are being checked out and not checked back in, passed around from scholar to scholar. You might find those lost books just about anywhere. Who was reading in a tree? Anyone who collects the books and returns them to the library is sure to get a little bit of favor with the librarians, and it’s never a bad thing to have a bit of an in with a Court. If you’re worried about failing Silver Court, it’s time to get searching! Although how you’re going to convince a 300 year old vampire that time is not fake and that deadlines are real (and in fact were two days ago) is anyone’s guess.

UNETHICAL EXPRIMENTS

[CW: Torture, experiments]

Those who venture towards the basement might hear something a little different than normal. The thralls who spend their time down there are normally quiet, commanded to keep silent and pleasant for the vampires they serve. But with the arrival of the new scholars comes disquieting, inhuman screams from the darker reaches of the basement. Novices trying to catch a glimpse will be chased away, but teachers might be invited to watch as these vampires experiment on one another, all in the name of science. What’s a little torture, when you’re undying?

Comments

[disdelusioned]

[And get him back Diluc will, when they next find themselves in a situation like this. It's only a matter of time.

He steps out of his pants once Tighnari pulls them the rest of the way off, then leans down to steal another brief kiss from his lips before moving past him to sit on the bed he just vacated.]

If you're looking to spoil me, how can I request anything other than looking at you?

[veardant]

Good. That's what I was hoping to hear.

[ as nice as it might be to turn diluc over and fuck him hard, tighnari loves to look into his pretty face as well, into those beautiful big eyes.

stepping back, tighnari takes the harness and slides it slowly up his legs, buckling it snugly into place before he's lifting the glass cock and running a finger along the length of it with a curling smirk. ]

Lie back for me.

[ he purrs softly, and takes up the bottle of oil before he's sliding onto the bed on his knees, fixing the glass cock into place in its harness. ]

And keep your eyes on me..

[disdelusioned]

[As nice as it is to be pinned down and fucked within an inch of his unlife, that's not the right mood for the moment. He wants to be able to look up at the man who's making him come apart, to see him flushed with the effort and the brightness in those silver eyes.

(They were hazel the first time they did this, back when his own eyes were red.)

He doesn't hesitate to do as he's told, stretching out on the bed luxuriously and watching Tighnari climb onto the bed and attach the harness. The sight is a gorgeous one, and he reaches down to stroke himself languidly as his partner finishes preparing. Partly because he can't help himself, and partly as a show.]

I wouldn't want to look at anything else right now.

[veardant]

[ the show is certainly appreciated. tighnari smirks and watches for a few moments, enjoying the movement of diluc's hand and the way it makes tighnari tighten right to his core.

fluid and graceful, tighnari climbs onto the bed, crawling over diluc and settling comfortably between his thighs, not hesitating a moment before dipping in to kiss his mouth, slow and deep, tongue curling and seeking. all the while his left hand works, thumbing the cork off of the vial and spilling its contents over his fingers before letting the empty glass fall aside.

tighnari's thoroughly slicked fingers travel south, dragging along the underside of diluc's cock and lower, teasing along the seam of his ass before two fingertips press warm against his entrance, rubbing in slow but firm circles. ]

Good. Now.. relax for me.

[disdelusioned]

[The show stops the moment Tighnari is hovering over him, with Diluc cupping his face between his hands as they kiss. It's equally passionate and earnest, like most of what they've been up to since locking the door behind them. He typically doesn't do feelings, but with Tighnari he always makes an exception.

(This is, of course, a lie; Diluc has a lot of feelings about a lot of things, fellow vampires most of all. The difference is that he doesn't entirely pretend his feelings for Tighari don't exist.)

Once Nari's fingers are slick and he reaches down, Diluc nods before taking a few deep breaths in and out to help his body relax. It's a well practiced skill by now.]

Founders, I...

[Need this. Need you. Love you.]

I'm ready.

[veardant]

[ i'm ready, diluc days, and tighnari does not hesitate. one finger slips past that tight ring of muscle, sliding into diluc's body fluidly and easily, to the first knuckle, then the second, and finally to the last. he feels so wonderfully tight, and tighnari loves the feel of it, but this is only the prelude. diluc relaxes, and tighnari slides another finger in beside the first, gently stretching diluc's body around his slim fingers. ]

So tight..

[ he murmurs, dragging their mouths together with a soft hum as he begins to carefully work his fingers dexterously in and out, working diluc open as they kiss, slow and soft. gods, tighnari is so wet, aching just from feeling diluc around him, he can't help but to grind his hips down against diluc's thigh. ]

You feel so good..

[disdelusioned]

[Diluc makes soft, appreciative noises into the kiss as Tighnari works him open. He craves more, especially when he feels how wet Tighnari is against his thigh. That gets a soft groan from him, the confirmation of his arousal and how he needs this as badly as Diluc himself does.]

Keep going... I want you to ruin me.

[And when they're done, Diluc can reward Tighnari by delving into that wetness one way or another.]

[veardant]

[ tighnari chuckles, the sound curling and a little bit breathless, a little bit mischievous. ]

As you wish..

[ he murmurs, carefully adding a third finger and plunging deep, curling the pads of his fingers in a crooked movement to seek out diluc's prostate, pressing and massaging, hoping to drive him out of his mind. touching their brows together, his breath gusts against diluc's lips, their bodies sliding together, mouths brushing, cheek against cheek. ]

Are you ready for me now?

[disdelusioned]

[And drive him out of his mind he does, since he knows Diluc's body well enough to press in just the right way. He arches up into Tighnari, one hand clinging tightly to the blankets beneath him while the other buries itself into Tighnari's hair. Every point of contact between them is warm and perfect and electric. Words escape him, his pleas for more instead coming in sighs and breathless moans.

When asked if he's ready, he nods.]

Please, Nari.

[veardant]

Ah, how could I deny you when you ask so sweetly..?

[ he couldn't deny diluc anything even if he hadn't asked sweetly.

withdrawing his fingers, tighnari quickly slicks up his glass cock, warming it with a little friction before easing his hips forward, the hard tip nudging at diluc's entrance, teasing for a moment before he begins to push inside, sheathing himself inch by excruciating inch.

and all the while his eyes are on diluc's face, fixed and watching as the pleasure blooms over his lovely features. ]

[disdelusioned]

[And that pleasure does bloom beautifully, dark eyes fluttering shut as he parts his lips to release a soft, throaty sigh. Every inch that Tighnari presses in feels wonderful, right to the point where he's stretched and filled entirely. During times like these, where Tighnari fucks him instead of the reverse, this is his favorite part.

After a few deep breaths, he opens his eyes to gaze up at the gorgeous man doing this to him. Tighnari is flushed and looking down at him with a fond hunger, and Diluc can't help but feel similarly. He's so lucky to have this. To have him.

He wraps his legs behind Tighnari, a silent gesture for him to start fucking in earnest.]

[veardant]

[ diluc's long legs wrap warm around him, and tighnari hums softly, smiling as diluc adjusts, then finds himself ready for what tighnari has to give him. and so he begins.

leaning in, tighnari captures diluc's mouth in a deep, hot kiss, his hips beginning to rock, sliding his cock in and out of diluc's body in a slow but deep rhythm, sinking into his heat right to the hilt before drawing out again, smooth and easy. he can feel the resistance as diluc's passage clings to his cock, and gods, what tighnari wouldn't give to know what it feels like to be inside of him, squeezed tightly -

well. he could know, with the proper masking, but.. for some reason, the times he has tried it has felt uncomfortable. wrong, in some way. this.. this fits the same way that his ears and tail just fit, and that's all there is to it. so this is what tighnari does, and it's more than good enough just to feel diluc against him, to know he's receiving wonderful, mindless pleasure. ]
