Just have to make sure to put out enough locks...  not TOO many locks, obviously, but plenty.  After all, too many locks and you start to loose the wonderful view through the cage bars, and that really won't do.  Plus no need to loose the access holes...  just in case...

There is plenty of time to flesh out some of the back story between Phil and Maggie as time goes on.  One advantage of doing it this way is the reader is already hooked and invested, you have shown that fun and kinky things are happening, so learning more about the characters we are already interested in works well.

People with missing limbs is very much an odd thing to explore and come across.  Slightly more reasonable would be interesting results using a contortionist, who could also be packed into unexpected shapes and sizes.  Something like this would need to happen "naturally", perhaps due to the company reaching out for a wide range of models to help run tests on.  Or, perhaps one of the technical staff have a friend or relative with such a disability, and suggest that they might make a good test subject.

From the company point of view, its "good press" to be so inclusive, while also ensuring the new "what's going on in their heads, and how to drive them wild" department gets a wider range of test subjects.

Even if it makes sense, it is pulling us away from Phil and Maggie, but it does allow for different sorts of fun and games to be considered.

House of Gord...  this reminds me.  One photo story set they did, many years ago now, was a woman being transported inside a box.  They were re-enacting a scene from a story, or probably House of Gord book.  The concept behind the scene was that the woman had been kidnapped, and dynamite was packed into the dense packing foam that the box was filled with, so that if the transport was interrupted, the dynamite would go off, so there would be no living kidnap victim to talk to, so no leads back to the kidnapping gang.  This was converted into a play scene by wiring the woman up to a tens machine, and placing a microphone next to her gag.  The model knew, and consented, to the tens machine being calibrated to the maximum pain setting she could handle, then turned up several notches, making for a very effective threat to keep her silent during transport, during the scene, since the tens machine was set to go off if she made too much noise.

What they didn't tell the model, apparently, was about the vibrator that was fitted into the case between her legs - not sure how she was supposed to miss it though.  But the probably didn't know that they could operate the vibrator from outside the case.  The idea being that she was going to be pushed to orgasm during the scene, and it was then her problem to remain silent, if she could, or she would get one hell of a shock.

The whole case, with the woman firmly encased inside hard foam on all sides and then secured into a locked case, was transported by truck on the open road.  The sort of crazy thing House of Gord have been known to do.

The idea has stuck with me for years, but the pictures didn't do a lot to really sell all of the emotions that went along with this, and of course a closed up crate isn't that exiting to look at, unless you know what is going on inside.

Still, the idea of an "impossible" challenge like that might work well, I can see Maggie enjoying teasing Phil with something like that to keep him occupied at times *smirk*


I made the comment about the immature dom partly because it matters here.  We are envisioning a new department, who are given control over "people" who are helpless, packaged away, who are basically turned into "objects", simply as things to test, experiment with and toy with, to try and maximise certain graphs on the monitor outputs.  With the people locked away and so completely anonymous, out of sight and out of mind, there is a *risk* of the whole dehumanising aspect of this pushing them to forget that these are real people they are experimenting on...

Now, a BIT of this could be a LOT of fun, wicked, naughty, objectifying fun.  But you have to watch how far it goes, which is why having someone to take Maggie's role with Phil helps, someone who cares for and about the person being tested, and can be kept in the loop of what is and is not reasonable to do.  I don't know how often you have run across people who don't take the emotions and feelings of submissives seriously enough, but sadly I have seen more than enough cases where this happens.  Mostly involving younger adults, adult enough to be playing these games, but not mature enough to really understand or consider what they are getting up to, and the feelings involved *sigh*

For locked on clothes that are designed to tease, delight and torment the wearer, at the whim of their controller, normally this is just down to remove control vibrators, and related toys.  But I was / am trying to see how to apply these sorts of ideas to the printing options here.  I do feel that there is so much more to explore beyond whole body encasement.  Now, as should be clear, this is DEEPLY brilliant, but still feels like the tip of the iceberg.

For proof reading, and catching up a bit, to be fair, no one else seems to be showing much interest in this conversation, so that doesn't seem to be a big loss.  For commenting and editing, I have used Microsoft Word before.  Drop in a chapter, turn on change tracking, then do any editing / proof reading, plus drop in all of the thoughts and comments that occur to me in brackets, so they can be easily located, digested, and deleted to get the edited version.  No doubt there are various online tools that will do the same job just as well to.  It partly comes down to what tools you use, and what works well.

You might be surprised at how many small edits I have made to the first 3 parts, if you were to diff the before and after.  Let me know if you are interested, and I can suggest a diff tool as well, if needed.

Let it rumble round, but the entire conversation can easily be moved to PM's here, or email, without impacting much, if anything, here.

There is always a balancing point between enough locks and too many, although most of us kinky souls would leans towards the too many side of the scale. But of course not so many as to interfere with fun access and viewing.

A friend once remarked she'd love to see me in a cage under a piece of glass and serve tea on top to a select guest list. I of course would be securely fastened inside said cage for the ladies to be able to access as they desired.

Phil and Maggie's backstory is indeed lower on my story writing priority list. It is in mind as I write "current" events and influences their actions. But I'd have to outline it more seriously to write from there to here as it were.

I thought up a perfect segue for the company to be involved with people missing limbs. Plastic prosthetics, someone has to print out those missing limbs to fit the users remaining parts.
I understand the better the fit the more comfortable the user is. Maybe Fantastic Plastics has a govt contract to supply prosthetics to Veterans.

As far as the hard foam penalty box, a fascinating idea. Pretty much setting out "volunteer" up for failure by assigning an almost impossible task. That almost being key to active participation of the victim. If you know you are doomed to fail you'll just fail and take the hit. But if there's a sliver of hope you can succeed. That's where the story gets written.

As for proofreading services, I think it's a wonderful idea. I can easily output the stories as word docs and send them to you for early review. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Although for the sake of my other fan, you couldn't post public responses till after Teandra posts the latest installments.

Baronlaw, how many is too many locks?

[feline]

The balance point for locks is easy, the person, or cat, in charge needs to be able to quickly and reliably pair all in use locks to the correct keys.  Otherwise they are not in charge, and the locks are.  Of course, if someone else is left to play, it's fine to provide a few...  hundred... decoy keys to slow them down.  After all, they are not the one who is in charge, who has the power, but who also bares the responsibility!

The responsibility bit being the part many people seem to overlook, forget, or even *shudder* ignore.  Another very big point in favour of Phil's two ladies

As for the display under the table, cages work, also being secured to the table legs, to make you seem more integral to the structure also works well...

Filling in little bits of the back story can be done as you go along, if this works well.  Conversation between the two ladies as they consider ideas, and talk about how they think Phil will react to them perhaps.

Limb printing, now that is a VERY good point!  Yes, I have heard that the better the fit the better, and the rapid turn around, along with needing to have their own in house scanner all ties in very well with this.  It is a logical area for the company to be working with and in, and once someone spots the overlap, it all ties together perfectly!

Many people are very visual, so beyond "just" the trauma of any veterans who have sadly lost limbs, you are also going to encounter veterans who have lost limbs and suffered burns, scaring, etc.  On the surface this might be going off topic, but think, once the idea of being enclosed, and treated like a sexual object, a sexual being, comes up, how long before this moves to consider hiding any "disfigured", in quotes since these people need to be honoured, respected, admired, not pitied and looked down on, parts.  Transforming them from someone where the first thing someone sees and reacts to is their injuries, into a sex display where all someone sees is a "pure" sexual experience, objectified, abstracted...

Hell, you can even weave in a point about this being good as PART of treatment for PTSD and other mental effects, showing and reminding these veterans that they are more than their past, and that with the right perspective, they have an interesting life ahead of them.

Did you ever come across the House of Gord books?  Actual story books I mean.  There were only a few, and they were published years ago, but I collected several of them back when they were for sale.  One, creatively called "Gord Collection" was a set of short stories.  One of them, that I was never quite sure how I felt about, was about a young woman, prime of her life, who was caught in a terrible traffic accident, and ended up loosing both arms and both limbs, right at the torso.  Turning her into a living torso and head.  The story was about turning her into a sex object, to try and show her that there was still life and pleasure to be had, even though her life as it was, was over.

The foam penalty box, it reminds me of a little game I have been known to play with people...  for example, when you have them tied up, working towards the brink of orgasm, balanced between pain and pleasure, beating them, flogging them, tormenting them, pushing them forward...

You get to the point of being "kind" and telling them they can let go and orgasm on a count of 10.  Initially the count is marked by hits with the flogger, or paddle, etc.  But then the counting gets to 3.5, 3.7, 3.999, nearly 4, back to 2...

It's distressing just how LONG it can take a numerically challenged cat to count to 10, especially when distracted by a toy...  and some of the expressions and noises said toy makes when the counting doesn't go as expected...  well...  would you believe I have been called evil?!

But yes, it is always important to provide hope, even if closing that last tiny gap never quite seems to work as planned or hoped...

For proof reading, I am sending a PM now.  But yes, no spoilers

[feline]

A quick random thought, not even sure if it works well or not, but I have been randomly thinking about the whole "person inside an anonymous statue" look for displays that you then play with, and thinking about how much space you need, making people look identical, etc.

Then I got to thinking about a male inside, and the fact that, for a "normal" statue look, there is no space to allow for an erection, so it only works for frustrating and denying the male any pleasure.

But then I got to wondering, what about a female inside an obviously male display statue?  At first, the different gender doesn't matter at all, but if you get as far as revealing the crotch area, to make use of the "volunteer" as a sex object...

At first, only revealing the rear, and the anus, for sexual usage, there won't be any obvious telling that this is a woman or a man.  But if the front is then exposed, for extra options, or double usage...  Just wondering if its an interesting mind game or not, people thinking they are having sex with a male "hole", only to then find that despite appearances, its a female hole, and not the only available hole.

As I say, not sure it actually works or not, but from a mind game with the people on the outside point of view, perhaps it has some interesting value.

The balance point of locks to keys is indeed how fast can the responsible person get them safely free, or at least free enough to not be in danger for whatever reason. Too many people get carried away with "one more lock" and pay the price. Although I do love the idea of a "treasure hunt" with a large number of decoy keys. The hope as a key is fitted in the lock, the crushed feeling of despair as it doesn't open the lock. Repeated over and over. Almost as much fun as those locks clicking shut in the first place.

I think my friend wanted the visual contrast of "bars" under the glass tabletop for the ladies "BDSM tea party". Although I suppose if the table was sturdy enough four corners for four limbs also works. Although our struggling volunteer might spill the ladies tea. Heavens! One of those impossible missions you mentioned. Depending on the motivation applied, spilling the tea might be inevitable.

Veterans and PTSD will have to be treated with kid gloves. So I'll need time to ponder that kind of storyline to do them and it justice.

I have heard of the Gord books but only ever seen excerpts or illustrations, not the complete books. It sounds like an intense scenario.

Oh my an endless 10 count? Punctuated by paddling or flogging. Sounds horrible. I can't imagine who would enjoy such activities.

In my limited experience with people who identify as "cats", I can honestly say they have been both the most evil and the most fun people I have known. As the song goes "You've got to be cruel to be kind".

I've got a million "Kitty" stories of real life adventures.

I've sent a test email to the account you indicated, I'll send the chapters you haven't read as soon as you confirm.

As far as printing a male statue but putting a female volunteer inside, messing with people's expectations is all part of the fun and games.
