TEST DRIVE MEME
I Be The Prophet I'm ready on the other side; I'm already on the other side
You awaken slightly disoriented on a beautiful, smooth stone floor. A look around will tell you that this place is a hilltop temple with a good view of the beautiful city below. On opposite sides of the temple are genderless depictions of deities. One is clearly powerful, made of onyx, held up in an imposing stance with one hand holding a gilded flogger and the other outstretched with an open palm as if to enforce a command. The other, made of polished white marble, has taken a knee to the dominant statue across from them. One of their hands is a vase for fresh flowers and you can see that new ones have been placed there today.

The music of an unseen harp begins to play and a golden light permeates the temple. Suddenly, you know what is happening here. The duality that is worshipped here, the figures in the temple, they have a name. The onyx one is Ceannasach and the marble one is Cuiristeach and together with their combined power they are the ones who have brought you to Parthas.

What is Parthas? Parthas is paradise! You have either been brought here because Ceannasach believes you contribute to your world in some glorious way and deserve to be honored and served or because Cuiristeach believes that you would be excellent in a service role, perhaps they even feel sorry for the state of your life back home and want to show you something better.

The deities here also brought you because they need lik which is the energy that allows them to exist. Lik is created in small amounts when you interact with other people, in greater amounts when you grow fond of certain people, and in greater still amounts when you begin to use physical affection. However, when you orgasm, that creates the purest form of lik there is.

Ceannasach and Cuiristeach reward you in a special way. When you have sex with your soulmate or your hjarta, your vördr, or spirit, leaves your body in a time-frozen moment to commune with the deities and ask for something big or small that you might like. Sex carries on as usual and only you will know that you asked for something. If you ask to be sent home, the deities will send you into a hyperaroused state when you least expect it. Hey, you offended them.

The deities also believe you should know of something they have placed in Parthas for your benefit. There is a river in a valley in the middle of housing that will give and take anything you like from your body if you should so wish. This can mean a illness, sadness, a memory or anything else, but be careful because this river runs on fickle magic.

As the harp music continues, you become aware of a new power of yours. You can hear any thought that any other person sends your way, even the ones sent accidentally, and you can see images and moving pictures, as well. Don’t limit yourself to one person! Send that thought to everyone!

The harp music comes to an eventual end and you are left with the knowledge the deities gave you. Your intuition leads you down a southbound path towards a city where a celebration seems to be taking place, if the colorful banners are any indicator. Welcome to Parthas!


Life In Rain So when it comes down, you'll know I'm with you
April showers bring May flowers. In Parthas, the rain also brings excuses to congregate. Most people are off of the sidewalks and roads, instead taking refuge in the cozier nooks of stores, bars and cafes. At the Viaduct Coffee House baristas are serving up different teas, coffees and lattes that may affect your day should you sip them. The herbal teas will have you sprouting wings of any kind from your back and developing a voice that is more like a siren's call. Anyone you speak to will be instantly charmed. They may even wish to take you to bed. The coffee drinks, including their famous strong, black coffee, will have you developing an animals ears and tail along with a personality trait to match. Anyone who orders and drinks ice water will only be able to see others as their inner animal. All effects will fade at sundown.

Meanwhile, the local radio station has re-recorded all of the castaway's favorite songs (blame that damn mental link) and during the rainy weather has decided to broadcast the high quality covers for everyone's enjoyment. Music is the perfect excuse for a two-person, rainy day listening party at your house, don't you think? Just you and your special someone listening to some tunes or maybe enjoying a warm beverage (the Viaduct delivers!)


Here Comes The Sun Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright
The sun has peeked from behind those clouds and decided to make an appearance this spring. While South City still has that beautiful petrichor smell and you can spot a few rainbows before the place dries up entirely, it's definitely time for some springtime fun in the sun. One of the wealthiest residents of South City is opening up the gates of her estate.

Rochelle Davenporte is an eighty-nine year old divorcee who made a fortune in the split. Her husband lives in North City as royalty and she doesn't mind the distance between the two of them. As far as she is concerned, she got the better end of the deal. As you step onto her property you will notice a perfectly manicured lawn with droplets of leftover rain on the blades of grass. Marble sculptures of the human form frame a path to the gardens and the hedge maze. If you're observant you'll notice that the sculptures all have the same body, but different faces... Your faces.

In the hedge maze, an Easter Egg hunt is taking place. Rochelle is rewarding castaways with five gold pieces for every brightly colored egg they find and one hundred gold pieces for every one of her collectible, ornately decorated gemstone eggs. The latter are hidden far more carefully. Just be vigilant! There are flowers in the hedge maze that produce a haze of what is commonly referred to as sex pollen. It hangs in the air of some corners while other stretches of the maze remain clear of the stuff.

Rochelle herself sits in the fabulously landscaped garden, and what a garden! You will see the purple buds of wolfsbane and just barely bloomed pink oleander. You might catch a tantalizing whiff of lily of the valley. The Lazarus Bell hangs out in the partial shade of an ancient oak tree with a patch of lovely belladonna. This is no ordinary lot of vegetation, it's positively deadly, so, uh, don't eat anything or you'll have to take a dunk in the icy cold healing waters of the decorative fountain positioned in the center that gives the Bellagio's a run for its money.


New Stole I give you small doses 'cause my heart's been wasted and I don't belong anymore
If you should set foot in the deadly garden, stop for a moment and have a mind chat with Rochelle away from the prying eyes of the others. After all, she finds you interesting. She will call you by name and tell you her story, how she and her husband Jeff lived a happy life in North City until he grew bored with her and planned to cook and eat her for a series of meals. The law still protected women against their husbands' whims in that cruel city back then, and Rochelle was allowed a safe escape South with a large sum of gold. Jeff kept her stable of purebred unicorns for himself, but she will tell you that intel has led her to believe an ice witch recently liberated from the boredom curse went wild and freed Rochelle's unicorns, guiding them south. The divorcee wants you to find as many of the unicorns as possible in exchange for start-up money for a business or to use for a car or housing upgrade.

There's one small problem. While unicorns in the wild are always drawn to purity, Rochelle's unicorns are trained to come galloping towards heartfelt displays of affection. It isn't always love, just two people sharing intimacy in a loving way. NOTE: You can interact with Rochelle Davenporte in whatever way you want aside from killing her. She is an NPC.


Gramarye You show me a sign to rise up from the world we know and she's strung out on life...
Everyone gets stressed, right? It builds and builds. The cars they sell you here don't go fast enough. The jobs they pay you for don't pay highly enough. The deities have taken something precious from you. Someone else has done the same. You're a hot mess and you need to release some of this toxic buildup. Cuiristeach and Ceannasach have observed this.

Ceannasach had given the order to his temple priests to clear out two of the more ornate abandoned houses for the month. The two deities decorated and remade the houses simply using magic. Ceannasach made the exterior black, the interior crimson, and decorated the place with every sexual apparatus imaginable, simple toys in the drawers.

Cuiristeach's house is white on the exterior and decorated with pastels on the inside. Massage tables are set up and those he has brought to Parthas are encouraged to give fabulous massages. Of course, happy endings are encouraged. All of the features of a spa are available in Cuiristeach's house, and those who owe him for their passage will be enjoying the services rather than performing them. Should roles be switched, the pair will be forced off to Ceannasach's house where the dominant partner will be forced to punish the submissive one.

The deities have also seen to it that none of their more squeamish subjects will have to deal with others' bodily fluids. Their houses are kept clean with magic.
