Intro: Welcome to modern North American suburbia, land of the McRibwich, the DQ Blizzard, the burnt Starbuck Cappuccino and Old Navy hoodies. The landscape is full of pasteurized McMansions, old town London inspired fake facades on bookstores. And mega churches with ATMs and gift shops. You can travel from California to Toronto to New Jersey to Florida. It's all one prefab, squashed then molded, uniform culture. Its bishops are marketing executives, its clerics are the boys in blue at Best Buy and every man, woman, teen and child in an adherent. They pay Caesar his due with their cookie-cutter debt cards, at the cookie cutter stores, buying cookie cutter products and experiencing the universal experience of cookie-cutter disillusionment. Is there room for love, romance, lust, envy, strife and drama in this world? Does it even mater which home you go home to, which kids you do homework with and which spouse you kiss good night.

This is a role-playing game about the life that manages to continue, despite the Roman bread and butter circus we live in. Democrat or Republican; fur as fashion or as murder; Christian or Hindi.... Who gives a shit? We all drink the same Shamrock Shake and watch the same CSI: Samesville. This is a role-playing game about Anywhere Suburbia where everyone struggles to be seen, to be understood and to find a purpose. This is not a game about sex, but about life, the great reality show we all are cast in. No one goes out into the woods anymore, to make sure that when their life is over, they will have discovered that they had not really lived...

You can jump in anytime. Make sure that you’re a decent writer. Keep the tone as real as you can, with humor and angst. Have fun. Don't post so fast that others can't keep up. Do not get so hung up on a long sex scene with one other character that after three real time days we are all skipping your posts, waiting for you to be done, wishing you would find a damn room.


This was the introduction for the game. This is a new thread where all out-of-character talking should take place. If you really need to comment on something in the story, please quote it here, instead of OCCing there.

To make something clear, I deliberatly did NOT place this is "sexual roleplaying". This doesn't mean I will play monitor for content, but it does mean that this is a game to role-play drama, not pornography. To be honest, I usually end up skipping ahead on most stories on Literotica when they hit the heavy sex scenes. I usually read the romance and flirting and akward first steps, then get bored by the bump and grind, and flash to the end, hoping for some emotional closure.
 
Women and cats will do as they please.
Men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

-Robert Heinlein

This is a really good quote. I will have to keep it on record.
 
Wouldn't I love to be able to take credit for writing that, but I'm pretty sure Heinlein was describing me. :D
 
I heard a statement once. I forget if it was a book or a movie. Wait.... My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I can not quote it correctly, but the idea was thus:

As a woman you can do whatever you wish. You just need to convince the man it was his idea in the first place.

I will have to watch that again, so I can get the quote right.
 
I have a character fermenting in my cess pool of thought, that should walk out of the ooze in a day or so. As soon as I have a better handle on it I will post as well.

In the movie you mentioned at one point it was said the man may be the head of the family but the woman is the neck, and the neck can move the head anyway it wants. Paraphrase but more or less correct I believe.

Further thoughts on my character, world weary type who has found something tangible in his life for the first time in years, but his requirement to eat regularily keeps getting in the way, he has known unemployment a number of times and does not want to deal with it again, but he hates his life and the world he inhabits at times. At other times he does not mind it so much because he he is numb to it.

Now I go to contemplate the ooze.
