The 'lifestyle' is imperfect as are those within it.

I want you to know, that no matter what
you are safe with me.
It's why A Darker Reality trusts me with you.

"i do not normally say of such things...though many times i really wish someone would have..."

nods slowly...

"You are correct...it had been less then 20 mins...."

The type that breaks instead of training. There aren't many dominants worth their salt who crossed my r/t path who'd dare do so, not because of myself or other submissives/slaves but because the other dominants would take action against their type.

gently
I bet his negotiations were brief before the contract.

"Echo, I mean this in the best possible way..."

His eyes cut from the board's departure back to you.

"Sometimes I am very glad you have Haven, games, and tequila to distract you."

Because if you ever went all "Beautiful Mind", Night City might wind up in a crater. It'd make the '23 Holocaust look like an fireworks show.

"no D ust....He did not explain any of His actions before they had been done....when i asked why....it was another beating....and i was made to feel worthless and a specticle....as if i was not even worth His time...."

sighs a moment before taking a deep breath holding back soft tears....

"yes D ust....i was His for one year..."

leans back to watch the soi world

grins
No chit.
I was always thankful that you didn't really mind it.
Some would tell me that I 'think' too much.

No worries, I read it as you meant.

tilts head listening
re-reads that a few times

A bit of a Bastard, Not exactly the type anyone should be trained by but there are many different types under the umbrella called the Lifestyle.
Just wonder, were all of his actions explained beforehand? Did you have a contract?

"I bet I can get it up to 1,000. Can't use hydrogen cells though, I'll have to use...I dunno, something bigger."

He'll figure it out. Come hell or flaming burning screaming hell, you will have a floating buffet table of advanced weapons and ammo at your beck and call.

"Hmmm...He3 pressure cores?" He'll figure it out.

Anyway, back to the hoverboard. Echo jump up onto it and immediately finds his balance. Well, after a wobble or two.

"I've got boots that lock into the foot holds. I used to shred sand on this thing when I was younger. Left it alone after I moved to Night City." Like a lot of his nomad past.

He steps off the board and sends it back through the service window.

"I'm building a new one." More tactically minded. Richter's attacks made him less focused on fun tech and more focused on Ouch Ouch My Face Is A Crater Now tech.

Fenix Arsenal
No, no, the part about rich people being scary.

Although you wouldn't have even been in Paraguay with a fork if somebody's money hadn't commanded it...

"retrained is supposed to read restrained..."

I don't mind questions

I love talking about myself

*chuckles a bit *

"Usually Victoria, or I've started going by Vee, too."

She laughs at the disclaimer, and when she receives your contact card, she sends her own back.

"I'd love to meet Haven at some point, but I can understand being reluctant. So eventually. No rush."

If she and Haven get to be friends, though? You and Dylan had better watch out.

"yes D ust....the One that had trained me rt was not a strict One....He would give me simple tasks to do....such as making something to eat....he would have me retrained for some time and make me ask for rewards...i had been placed on a leash and taken in public....i would also have tasks of being blindfolded and to please Him...the Other that had trained me .....He was "different"....He would beat me to the point i did not know i could take it....just for something as simple as not picking up a piece of paper...."

chuckles a bit
A reason I left the place. Egos seemed to rear their ugly heads far too often.

I'm an equal opportunity questioner. To the annoyance of a few dominants all those years ago.

That had nothing to do with the President of Paraguay?

Did it?

No, you were about five when that mission happened.

His fork was not involved with you being here.

The forking happened later.

heh, like every other day..

One of my favorite parts has always been questioning submissives

chuckles a bit
You did on occasion find displeasure there.

All I did was what is my norm, working hard to find a reasonable and clear form of discussing matters.
