That way there wouldn't have to be any clumsy updating of the side thread when someone arrives. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Lol, this is actually what I had in mind!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=81232.msg3585301#msg3585301">Quote from: Jessica on 04-09-2010, 19:39:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">As for the main plot... Well, the framework to build upon is the reporter coming in, training, hazed in, perhaps a little work, then discovery and the aftermath. I started from the ending part, working up.<br/><br/>After being caught out, I envisaged a few ideas as to what would happen next- either she's 'demoted' to the position of Club Maid and in-house slave/ servant. Either she would be permanently placed in that position, with access to the grounds and rooms but none of the outside (which is the more extreme idea), or she's allowed to leave, but on several conditions- she doesn't breathe a word or write anything, and is either on 'call-out' or has to come back at regular times to serve as the other Mistresses see fit. Breaking those conditions, she'd either be taken to court for a breach of contract (since their secrecy would be blown anyway) and sued, or be threatened with release of footage and pictures of her in dodgy positions, thereby destroying any chances she might have in freelance reporting.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I personally enjoy a blackmail, so that idea has my support. Let's see what everyone else says about it. The bottom line is that the Mistress Club would be furious at what Zoey tried to do, so keeping her (and her boyfriend) captive in the mansion while slowly whittling down her resolve is very likely. All the while, they can use her as they see fit because they filmed several sessions of her, both as a dominatrix and when they turn her to a sub, so if it were to be released, it would appear she is just a sex crazed woman, thus destroying her reputation.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=81232.msg3585301#msg3585301">Quote from: Jessica on 04-09-2010, 19:39:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">For the main plot, I imagined that she'd be accepted in and trained, with suspicions perhaps rising as to her true goal- nothing concrete obviously, but dialogue could occur with her trying to cover up any mistakes she'd made, and talk between the Mistresses voicing their concerns or suspicions, however vague. <br/><br/>As for the other Mistresses, I'll leave it more open, as my ideas may not appeal to all, but a few ideas for them could revolve around them trying to deal with a particularly unruly submissive, their plans for training, discussion in-between one another on ways to improve the club, etc.<br/><br/>These are all basic ideas, so pull them apart as you wish- I'm still keeping my noddle in gear thinking about this!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Sounds like you have the character down perfect! She fancies herself dominant, but we could have her come across as uncertain at times, or slightly intimidated by the far superior women. The Mistresses will no doubt do quite a bit of discussion about their potential newcomer, and from there, maybe their suspicion will arise.<br/><br/>Oh, and I forgot to address the question of a receptionist. My intention was to just simply imply that the entrance is always staffed with two provocatively dressed women that lead the guests around. I don't want people to get hung up in the doorway, when the instructions will be clear to NPC the receptionists to lead them to wherever.
