The rays of the setting sun shine across the waiting room, coloring the wall clock red. A refrigerator begins to hum in a far corner, and pigeons are cooing somewhere outside on the rooftops. The candidate looks up, and shudders. It's past 6pm, and all the others have already been called for their debrief. The last one quite a while ago.

Well, not like anyone said that joining a hypnotic D/s secret society is without risks. Did they actually... fail?

They think of saying goodbye to all the others who made peace with their submissiveness, and graduated the training program voluntarily as playthings... sometimes to one of their peers from the program who had already been deemed dominant enough to take a thrall before graduation. They were confident that their caring, nerdy dominant side, always ready to push a cutie's buttons, would be deemed well within the acceptable parameters of graduating as a free switch... but now, in a soup of doubt, they can't help but think of the slight pang of envy they felt each time upon seeing a newly ordained thrall go blank and expressionless...

Finally, a door opens, and a woman they had never seen before walks in. All the others were called by their teachers... She is beautiful, but what's most striking about her is the grace with which she carries herself. She smiles a warm, welcoming smile, and sits down next to them.

'Aww, cutie, did I make you wait too long?' she sings in their ear. 'I'm sorry... You know, little subbies need to learn patience...'

'So... I...'

'You failed, little one. Yes.' She smiles. There is no disappointment or malice in her eyes, only playfulness and warmth. 'I hope you know what happens to little subbies who try to pretend they are something else...'

'But... but I do have dominant desires! They are real!'

'Ahhhw...' she mocks surprise, leaning in a bit, and allowing them to smell the juicy fruit scent of her breath. 'We know. That's not the question though, sweetheart. The question is, if faced with that choice, would you rather give up submitting to be a dominant, or give up aaallllll your privileges and dignity to be a sub. I think we both know what the answer to that question is.'

They feel the chair sink with them. The answer is pretty clear-cut. They might wish it wasn't, but... She reaches over and pets their cheek.

'Thaat's right. Don't kid yourself... It's okay to be disappointed, but this is for your own good. I am your case worker. You will know me as Miss.' After a few moments pause, she raises an eyebrow. 'Come on, you know what you're supposed to say...'

'Yes Miss,' they whisper, feeling themselves sinking into her smile already.

'Aw. Good little subbie. Focus, no trance for you yet, cutie. Do you know what will happen to you?'

'Um... Be conditioned?'

She laughs and reaches over, gently patting their head. 'So much effort to avoid the obvious... Surely you have seen subbies who have failed their final exams... Silly toys like you who have so much trouble letting their dignity go need some drastic measures to be happy... I will strip you of all your privileges and dignities you can imagine, and more. If you imagine the most embarrassing little bimbo weeb adult baby cuck slut you possibly can, that's nowhere near what I'm going to do to you.'

'Wait, 'cuck'?' They snap, slightly shaken by the prospect.

'Awww... Are you scared? And of all the deliciously humiliating things I listed, THAT is the one to rile you up?' she giggles and smiles knowingly. 'I guess it makes sense based on your assessment. Don't worry, I hate all that heteronormative crap too. I mean cuck as in a cutie who gets denied on a daily basis, and has to see over and over how others have soooo many more privileges than they do, sexually or otherwise. A little denial slut. Just so you never forget where you belong... And do you know what the best part of it will be?'

They look up pleadingly, pressing their thighs together in embarrassment.

'You'll enjoy and love every single minute of it, and you will adore me and worship me for doing it to you... After all, that's exactly what we were testing for today.' She smiles wide, as they shudder with desire. 'Now, I think it's time to prep you for the graduation party... Wouldn't want to strip your former peers of seeing what you are going to become.'
