Part 3 up tonight, enjoy!

[feline]

OK, quite a few thoughts, pulled together as I was reading part 3.

We are starting right where I remember part 2 finishing. I expected a different start point, rather than feeling that we are continuing the conversation the last part ended on, so let's see what we are doing here.

Now that is interesting, and thoughtful and makes sense. It's not as simple as a blank check to have fun, the company wants data and interviews. Well they are going to want something from this investment!

As for data collection though, brain waves is an interesting and unexpected item on the list. Still it speaks to real interest in all of this, learning more about what is going on and really pushing the research and experimentation, which suggests fun times ahead! Well fun in some sense of the words at least, *smirk*

Well I have to agree, 'the container' isn't really a sexy term. But then again Paula's thinking is starting to turn experimental in nature, at least for her. And yes, interviews need to happen while the experience is quite fresh. This is also a nice opportunity to see this again from Phil's point of view.

OK, skipping over the questions, but to be fair we already saw his thoughts, but needed to cover this to move the plot along properly. The fact that his detailed answers are going to be used to design the next experience is very exciting, it does promise very wicked things

Test fittings, now that is really interesting. Thinking about it though, even though we have a proper and complete 3D scan of his body that doesn't properly account for how his body will deform when squished... *evil smirk*

The women agree to plot, while Phil, well he gets off on surprises! LOL yet this actually makes sense, it fits very well with the story so far, and it also helps to build some tension and keeps us in the dark for now, so yes, this works very well indeed.

So how long away is next month? It suggests at least a couple of weeks, which is one hell of a lot of design and printing time, given what we have always seen... all eager to see where the is going!

I know this will hardly be her only job for all this time, but still, the general point stands!

How seriously should we take Phil's request not to be sealed away for an entire weekend... I mean, he has to know these two women are seriously considering going straight there, even before he says this and puts the idea in their heads!

Plus we have the conversation here on the forum where the size of the fluid storage tanks has come up, which clearly speaks to a longer encasement time looming!

A test fitting but make sure the weekend is clear and you don't bring your car... OK, I expect Phil to get locked up for quite a while again *smirk*

Plus, thinking about it, it's not a proper surprise if Phil is actually expecting to be locked up for longer when he goes in.

Have you cleared your weekend for this? Yes, you can keep me locked away until Tuesday morning... I can hear a voice in the distance...  let us listen closely...  we can just make out... "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!" ROFL

A golden item, that's metallic isn't it, so extra secure! I wonder if the black floor is functional or just decorative. We will find out I am sure.

Well at least this time Phil's clothes are in the office with him. Small mercies and all that.

Lots of sensors, and I agree, the gold and silver together does sound lovely.

I really didn't expect the first time they closed the lid for it to only be for a few seconds. Looks like I am being a bit cynical here.

OK, I am confused by fish tank as a title, so let's see if it makes sense in a minute.

OK, now I am curious and unsure. We are told apparently random shocks, so was that random or not, since the timing so that he doesn't hear what they are doing is amazingly "lucky" if it is random.

Nice we didn't have to wait too long for an answer, a deliberate shock! It did seem to well timed to be random, but not impossible. It is good they have such good visibility into the effects they are having on Phil in there though! Some really interesting possibilities with all of this

OK... and what the hell. Still don't get the fish tank title, and what is this about a public feed and advertised event??!! I know, I will learn later. Still, one hell of a tease.

Love the teasing and the orgasm on camera, that is some solid and very sexy dirty talk and tormenting teasing!

Seriously Phil, being locked in for the weekend really should not come as a surprise, *rolls eyes*

Ah... now we know about the shell over the outside and going on display. I also love the logic of the plates inside the sarcophagus, since this makes this into a viable product idea. Talk about a major mind fuck for poor Phil, with still more surprises to come! Really excellent and exciting so far

Of course, the brain wave monitoring will let them see his reactions to what they say as well as what is done to his body, an excellent way of checking that they are working him up as much as required. Teasing him to associate pleasure with encasement and helplessness should be easy given his kinks and track record smirk

At breakfast, really enjoying setting the women going about their normal lives while he is trapped and moved around as an object. But then the interactive program, the concern, all deeply ominous and wickedly exciting! I want to learn and see Phil learn what is going on here.

Recharge rate? Guessing you mean Phil's penis recovering and recharging, which just begs even more questions!

Wow, wicked wrap the mummy game! That's inspired!  Also it works very well for adding an information and interactivity element to the display for the public, so it works well on more than one front.

So Phil is already learning and associating touching the screen with pleasure and other feelings. The company is likely to absolutely love all of this data!

The teenage boy being a teenager, good to be reminded that people are like this and real world problems can happen. Also why the women need to be actively monitoring the situation for now.

Drunk and angry co-worker, excellent way to add character depth to the factory. I did mildly wonder if he was going to cause problems for our lovely ladies, but it doesn't look like we are going in that direction, probably for the best!

Phil having an orgasm from the electro stim alone is indeed wild, and helps to open up new options going forward *wicked smirk*

Oh dear though, is the Sarcophagus about to be sold as is, for immediate collection? Called it sort of...

And the part ends and I have to wait who knows how long to read the next part??!!  Grrrrr!!!!!

Cannot help wondering how this will be presented to Phil. Just own up? Tell him they have arranged an extension of his fun and games? Something else.

OK, having thought about this for a little bit, and now getting to post all of this, firstly, someone is in TROUBLE!!!  I am looking at you...  do you have any idea of HOW LONG you have made me wait for an update to this story, and now it arrives, instead of something that is a complete experience, I am left hanging?!?!  This is NOT how one behaves unless they are looking for very creative "consequences"...

Now, on a totally different front, but do pay attention to the above...  as I was saying, on a different front, obviously very high up management were involved in agreeing that sex toys and research was a good direction for their biggest printer.  Yes, we all know sex sells, but at the same time so many people like to pretend that it doesn't, and that they don't have sexy thoughts or products.  So this says serious management buy in...

Now this is where this gets interesting.  The simple and easy answer is that the big boss had no idea that the sarcophagus could be used like this, but that doesn't seem reasonable.  Next, he didn't realise that anyone would be inside of it during the public showing...  that is possible, but actually is questionable, given the need for all of this data collection and testing that is being done.

What about, instead, if the big boss knew that Phil was locked inside, and "didn't care".  Now I don't mean in a totally arsehole way, I mean instead he saw this as an interesting opportunity.  So much of this product idea is based around presenting the bound and packaged "customer" as an object, and keeping everyone around it unaware that a person is locked away inside.

Consider someone with no emotional connection or interest in Phil, who simply sees them as a guineapig in an expensive, but very promising set of experiments to make the company a pile of money down the line, and suddenly we have an actual, logical motivation that makes sense to extend the test in a casual manor like this, keeping the "subject" locked up for another day or so, doing the company a favour in the new exhibit at the museum, and also exploring, and collecting data on, using packaged "customers" as objects, and how this enhances their experience...

Oh it freaks them the hell out in the now, but this is for the companies greater good, so they won't care about that.  Plus the reports so far say that their current guineapig likes being treated like this...

Just thinking that if the company backing all of these experiments has its own agenda, and occasionally "modifies" an in progress experiment / game that the women are running, it adds a whole new aspect to what is happening.  This does assume that Paula, is to some degree, aware of what is happening and is able to manage the risks this presents.

An idea for you to consider at least.

[baron law]

Great feedback, almost like a live feed as you were reading it.

" This is NOT how one behaves unless they are looking for very creative "consequences"..."

Luckily I am not Phil to your Maggie.

I promise part 4 and 5 are written and just waiting to be published and all will become clear.

Sorry/not sorry about the cliff hanger.

Glad you are still enjoying the story.

[feline]

I am reminded of the risk of encouraging Granny Weatherwax to go away and think about what to do...  but if the reference means nothing, then I will let the results, when they appear, speak for themselves...

Let you hope that parts 4 and 5 aren't long in coming, and that they solve these outstanding concerns...

The journey so far has been most excellent, but this is far to early, and the wrong place, to end that journey.

[baron law]

I am big Terry Pratchett fan, so I do understand your comment.

I'd be slightly more worried about "creative consequences" if I was not safely hidden behind the anonymity of this interface.

That being said I have no desire to lose my singular fan, so I do hope the webmaster posts parts 4 and 5 soonish.

Also to reassure you from taking any untoward actions in punishing this humble author, even though part five is a natural break point in the story. I do have parts six and seven outlined.

And I am only taking a break after part five to explore your thinner and lighter fantastic plastics idea.

-unrepentant

[feline]

Talking about the thinner and lighter plastics idea, I have been wondering what else could be done with it, and tried to think of something fitting, yet a little bit different.  One idea that seems like it might have some potential uses a female model, and I am thinking a statue display.  Something artistic and elegant, but with removable breast covers.

There is something about the idea of a totally anonymous, helpless woman, placed and shaped into a display piece, put up and on display like this, only to discover that for some of the time she will be less "art" and more "part sex object" that is still partly an artistic display.

Trying to find more ways to make interesting use of the whole "you are now an object" aspect of this, that shows everyone on the outside that there is someone inside, while still keeping a very firm distinction and separation between the inside and the outside.

As for being the only fan, I very much doubt that, but experience shows that most people don't comment much, so I try to make up for their silence.

As for "creative consequences", well, it is always best to feel safe and anonymous...  *smirk*

[baron law]

Maybe something like a display mannequin at a Sex Toys Expo. Food for thought.

Thanks for thinking I have more than a singular fan, but until someone else comments you are it.

I'll feel safe and anonymous until a crate with a sarcophagus shows up on my doorstep.

-Baronlaw

[feline]

Hah, I know I have been told I am no good at subtle, but I would like to think the first surprise would be a little more subtle and clever than that!  Otherwise it is never going to qualify as a surprise!

Note to self - comment enough for several fans, we have some seriously interesting writing to encourage here!

I hadn't thought of a Sex Toys Expo at all, but that would actually work very well, and make a lot of sense.  To expand on the idea slightly, I was thinking any statue display would sit on, be merged into, a base.  The base gives you storage space for the electronics, fluid storage, etc.  If you want to keep with the option of "long term" encasement, so a couple of days or more, you need to think about this.  Thin tubes for liquids can easily be run inside the case, especially if you allow for bodies to be a little compressed, with care.  Watch for pressure points, etc.

Then you also need thin sensors, so a readout display can be enabled when it is time to "entertain" the models.

Thinking in terms of this setting, and thinking back to the mesh that was printed over our sarcophagus, outside of the joints, you don't actually need a solid layer of plastic to enclose and remove all motion.  So a different approach would be to have entire parts of the body covered by a rigid "mesh", giving a largely "naked" and available for touching model, who is still completely restrained, compressed and unable to move.

If you want to take this thought a step further, you could have a two layer outfit, so place a thin "surface skin" layer over the top, at which point suddenly we are back to simply a statue, with no hint for the unaware that there is a person locked up inside.

This then opens up the fun and games of the models being prepared off site, and then shipped to the expo for display, and any interaction with the guests that their suits allow for...

I never really firmed up my thought process here, I was just trying to think of a fun and interesting "display" and "interactive" use of a thin layer encasement, but something more interesting than just securing someone, male or female, in place as a convenient sex object.  Nothing wrong with that at all, but without something more to make it a bit more interesting, this is "just" bondage and sex, without really making use of the extra options this fascinating printer and process is offering us.

But the sort of outline I was thinking of was the company CEO having a model, or perhaps more fittingly, a second secretary placed into one of these "display" shells for a couple of days at a time.  Depending on the programming given to the display shell, this can either be a reward for good behaviour, or a punishment to encourage them to try harder in future.  Most of the time the shell would be fully sealed up, simply being a beautiful piece of highly detailed art that came out of the companies printers, something to help set the stage and demonstrate the scale of pieces that can be "quickly and easily" produced.  Stage setting for all of the visitors that drop by, or even placed into the company lobby, since you need to show off what they can make, to help get people interested.

But for the people who are more interested in the adult side of things, you need to have a simple way of showing that this is not just a hollow shell.  You don't want to open it up completely, and a video showing a model / secretary being placed into it only has so much to show.  But a few removable panels, suddenly you have the naked breasts on an anonymous, completely silent and unable to move woman out on display to touch, feel and tease...  add in the feedback from the embedded sensors, once the display is turned on, and you can see them responding with spikes on heart rate and breathing, brain wave patterns changing, all responding to the touch and exploration of the exposed flesh...  it is about bringing the concept alive.

Plus, of course, a serious selling point is the speed of customisation...  so is there a woman, or even a man, with you in the entourage of the visiting VIP who isn't needed for the next meeting or two...  well, send them off to be scanned, and come back in a couple of hours, or less, since it is a thin shell, all that needs to happen is customise an existing design for the new body scan, and watch as they are sealed away.  "Don't worry, they are quite safe, here, use this app on your phone and you can monitor all their vitals in real time, speak to them through the built in ear buds, check their responsiveness with our full range of option extras that were installed into this model...  Of course you can take the shell away with you, it will only perfectly fit your secretary after all, so its of no use to us.  Consider it a gesture of good will..."  Leaving it up to them if they need to open the shell up or not before shipping, just to really add to the fun on offer *evil smirk*

Oooh...  thinking about this a bit more, metallic plastic...  I am thinking its not a big step to consider printing wires into the shell, the bulk of some very simple sensors...  the idea is to get a nearly ready to go shell straight from the printer, with the minimum amount of finishing required afterwards.  It wouldn't be as good as adding high end sensors, etc, afterwards, but a lot faster and cheaper.  Plus a tens pad is "just" electrical contact with the skin, so could be printed in as well.

In the back of my mind for this is the way I remember the VP, Steve (just checked) from your Halloween story "Jabba's Palace Party", who seemed to take a very casual "people are just objects for my pleasure" attitude to people.  Not looking for a clone, just thinking that a rather casual attitude towards using people as objects fits with how many people in power tend to be portrayed, if not actually are.  Plus, it can work well in echoing a dominant mindset of "this is happening because I want it to happen", while we have a very safety and consent first Paula acting as a counter balance within the company, at least to some degree at least.  You need someone passionate about all of this, who wants to see their ideas taken seriously, printed up and tested out, and as we have seen, Paula really has no objections to a surprise or three, especially if someone else is happy to step up and take "moral responsibility" for their captive and the surprises that are being applied to them.  Look at the events so far...  yes, everything, included the detailed scans and monitoring, proves how much Phil enjoys and responds to what is being done to him, but there is a clear sense of "happy to push the limits since we know he will forgive us later" along with "Maggie said it was all good, so it is," at work here that gives this a small, gentle but still delicious edge.  No need to go to far or get to nasty!!!

Now, on a completely different front, I was thinking about thin shells, and "wearable", and went "corset" along with "chastity belt".  Perhaps even high healed boots.  All things that could be printed, person specific, small and fast to produce, but then "locked" on...

[baron law]

One trait I do share with Phil is a love of surprises. I'll have to keep my eyes open for more subtle "creative consequences".

That being said and not to tease you into any rash evil plotting against me. But many of the ideas you are bringing up I am currently exploring in the newest Phil, Maggie, and Paula storyline."Scanned, Printed and Sealed" implied subtitle Further adventures at the Fantastic Plastics factory.

Rapid prototyping to literally encase a visitor during their visit would be quite amusing, at least for the other guests. Of course it could be done quickly with the sarcophagus model by changing out what I called the modular body plates. Let's just hope they are as big a fan of encasement bondage as Phil is.

Not to steal my own ideas (Jabbas Palace), but an AI paired with an unfeeling corporate executive is a very dangerous combination. Maggie and Paula enjoy tormenting Phil and pushing his boundaries, but they do actually care about him. Even if it's easy to forget there is a soft Phil center inside some of their devices / ideas.

Also in the new storyline Phil does get to experience a chastity device of sorts.

Don't want to give too much away, but just letting you know your feedback is not falling on deaf ears. Also your mind is in some cases on the same track as mine in exploring the abilities of this fantasy world of sex and 3-D printing.

Wish I could speed up the "printer" process in getting you the new stuff quicker. But then antici......

....pation can be delightfully naughty and rewarding in itself.

-Baronlaw

[feline]

Must resist evil plotting at recalcitrant authors...

Nope, stupid idea, back to work!!!

[feline]

Being a bit more on topic, the point about the AI being used to reprogram someone, it is a very dangerous and open ended idea.  More than that though, it risks changing the basic dynamics and character driven nature of the entire story so far.

Some form of feedback loops, based on what Phil, or anyone else secured inside one of these fun devices, is one thing, but you want to keep some element of human connection here, otherwise you are likely to loose what makes this fun and "romantic", turning it cold and "robotic", for want of a better word.

It comes down to what you are looking to achieve here, where you want to go, and if you are looking to keep Phil as a willing and interested participant, which clearly you are.

As for the plates that go into the sarcophagus, the "problem" with them for the idea I was toying with is that the final result, from the outside, is "just" a sarcophagus.  Now there is nothing wrong with that at all, in fact it is very good, but it doesn't have the same visual appeal as a statue, and it is a lot bigger and somewhat heavier to transport.  Plus its generally a bigger print job, unless you have a selection of sarcophagus pre-prepared on hand.

It comes down to what you are trying to achieve here, but it is good that there are lots of ideas being explored here, since I do feel there is lots of interesting potential here

[baron law]

"Must resist evil plotting at recalcitrant authors...

Nope, stupid idea, back to work!!!"

Are you resisting the urge to evil plot, or getting back to work on it?

Worried minds want to know!

I see your point about the visibility issues with the sarcophagus and of course the sheer bulk of it, as a sales tool. I will need to think on the concept of "while you wait" on demand printing in regards to printing demo pieces some more.

Of course "word of mouth" among high end customers will be the most effective tool for "bespoke" pieces, custom ordered for the rich and jaded and truly kinky.

Luckily Phil is not only a willing participant but a rather eager one, we will have to see where that leads him on these flights of fantasy.

-Baronlaw

[feline]

Worried minds should remember that they are on record as liking surprises, so should not expect any answers before the results speak for themselves, in whatever form that might end up taking.

For the size of pieces that are printed, I have the general feeling that there are two broad markets to target here. One is the "minimal" look where the who is almost visible and perhaps quite accessible. Making the person contained a key part of the appearance of the finished display piece.

The second broad area being where the final outside is more than big enough to contain a person, or more than one person, but there is no need for there to be any sense that a person is in there, only those in the know would have any idea that this was even an option.

Now saying this an interesting idea for a middle ground appears... consider two or three women of similar height and roughly similar build. Now consider three fully equipped "cases", all of the sensors and stimulators you could possibly want, but the cases have identical human outsides. Just big enough to contain the tallest body, widest hips, etc of the three women. Perhaps slightly too small if they are to be compressed a little along with encased!

Once the three women are locked up there's is no way to tell who is inside which display statue. You can monitor their responses to various stimuli, but would this be enough to work out who was in which case? Does it even matter? This is something that really plays with the whole objectification and dehumanisation of what is going on here, but differently.

I will admit I am not quite sure yet where this idea might lead, but it does cycle back to an odd idea I came across years ago in a bondage story book by House of Gord. In this story there was a society where the women were kept very much as sex objects, but they wanted the women to be judged objectively, on their sexual skills, not on their looks.

In the story this involves keeping unmarried women in devices that kept most of their bodies bound and hidden, so all you could judge a woman on was mid torso to mid thigh, and her sexual performance, since the exposed part was quite naked and available.

Not really a direct overlap with this story at all, but there is something in the delightfully anonymous nature of the engagement, combined with the almost invasive level of monitoring and awareness of what they respond to that makes me think of this as a way of moving past how women look and getting more in tune with their sexual beings...


Back to the story as is I have just finished reading and editing part 3 for my re-reading pleasure. Let me know if you would like a copy. It's mostly tidying up commas when there is dialog.

But the point, it is where the two women watch Phil have an orgasm from the electrostim. There are two threads to the response, firstly how the company is going to love the data, and secondly how they are going to use this knowledge to drive Phil wild.

It is a very vivid moment, you can feel the wicked glee coming from the page, and it does beg the question of what data and experiments they have been asked to seek out... although on reflection, it can probably be summed up as any and every way to drive a captive wild with lust, especially since the shell gives them the scope to fully control all touch input over the entire body, everything they hear and see...

Smell and taste are actually up for full control too if they wanted to put the work in, for a serious leap forward in terms of how they control someone and what they experience!!!

[baron law]

A shell game of mummy cases is a very interesting idea. Or the turning of a variety of people of close but not exactly matching body dimensions into matching statues. But in either case subjecting them to similar stimulation and comparing results, then engaging in feedback loops to drive them to higher and higher levels of excitement.

I must beg pardon for my overuse of commas, the few times I've actually had someone edit my work, that has been a recurring comment.

I'm glad the "wicked glee" was conveyed in a manner you enjoyed.

As a male writer it is easier for me to write from Phil's perspective, but I hope I've done justice to Maggie and Paula as three dimensional characters and their motivations. Not simply plot devices to get Phil into more and crazier situations.

Smell is probably easy enough to simulate or use to stimulate, taste a little more difficult. More ideas to throw into future designs of Fantastic Plastics bag of trick and ways to torment Phil.

-Baronlaw, comma abuser.

[feline]

Looks up from plotting plots about plots and more plots on my plotting table, casually converting it before turning... nothing to see here...

OK doing this out of order, and I should start by saying that while I read voraciously I failed English at school several times in a row. But I don't think you over use commas at all. Let me find an example...

From the start of part 3

>> Maggie happily replied "That's wonderful news Paula, we'll get together real soon to start work on the next model."

>> Paula cautioned Maggie "We do need to be a bit more scientific though."

After "happily replied" there should be a comma before the speech starts. After "cautioned Maggie" another comma, but sometimes a full stop before the speech starts. It's about breaking the text into the correct logical blocks and showing what's grouped with what.

Does that make sense?

Maggie and Paula definitely come across as real characters, people with their own agendas, desires and needs in all of this. You can watch them, understand them and care about them, and care if they are also getting what they want from all of this, and appreciate that they really are getting plenty of their own rewards from all of this hard work locking up and tormenting Phil

Smell and taste, for taste I was simply thinking about having the gag deliver tiny traces of certain chemicals, tastes, on demand, rather than when Phil prompts it for water or liquid food. Since the mouth only picks up a very few tastes this would be quite simple. Smell is more complex, but can be worked on in stages.

Cycling back to touch, temperate and vibration should be easily added with time, and having vibration "move" across the skin will feel like touch, with some development... that's really going to blow some minds!

Shell game... oh my!!! Now I am thinking about the tricky game of find the ball under the moving shells, where it's never where you think it is. Never knowing which person is inside which shell, even as you are interacting with them, manipulating them, choosing what they see, hear, experience, picking who gets released first and who has to stay locked up for longer, while never really knowing for sure if you are picking the person you think you are picking... oh my! The  ideas and games that start to come to mind simply by calling this a shell game...

Adding to the comment about feedback loops, another not sure how it would work yet idea, but the three shells and women, for discussions sake, woman one is teased with the "threat" of being kept locked up for another 48 hours and the system detects that this excites her.

So the computer system then starts trying to encourage women two and three by giving them pleasure whenever images or comments about keeping them locked in the cases for longer are made.

Perhaps what you are already thinking about, encouraging the women to show similar reactions and kinks while inside the cases, making it all the harder for anyone unknowing on the outside to tell who is who.

For a small but interesting addition, anytime the room the women are displayed in is empty there is a chance that the computer will engage the wheels in their stands to swap the women around, so even if you started out knowing which women was in which position, soon you know they were all mixed up. Obviously the women would know this was happening, so they could really feel it when sometime was talking to the wrong case, expressing their devotion and counting down the hours until "their" girlfriend is released back to them...
