Test

ok.

Helen should have a ‘link’ now
Thank you for helping me with this, Jessica

sure.
thanks for not trying anything.

Of course
I hope my presence was tolerable

i mean ok i don’t know how it took an hour to set up a groupchat.
but it’s fine.
charisma didn’t get to me too bad.

I’m happy to hear it
Now let me see if I can remember

Alright I’ve sent Lily a ‘link’
I hope
Would you all mind adding the rest?
I really must be sleeping

ok i guess but i don’t have the contacts for all your weird fuckbuddies.

I believe Helen has a few more
In any case add whoever you can it’s no trouble
I’ll fill any gaps when I’m awake

sure whatever.
good night ok.
or like good morning i guess whatever.

One night I’ll find a satisfactory way to say that
That night isn’t tonight
Good day

sure.

— Luma added Hell-in-Earth to the chat. —

Hey Jess, what’s this?

oh shit good morning babe.
sorry went to grab something at the store since it's light out.
uh yeah luma made like a pervert groupchat for you guys.

Oh, I see.
You helped her?

yeah she’s fuckin useless with tech.
had to get up close and personal.

Why didn’t you just make the chat yourself?

didn’t wanna be in it.
but then like.
i realized you’d be in it so i figured i should keep an eye on it in case she tries some shit.
also she needed to put someone in it to start.
feels kinda dumb now.

Aw, Jess! That’s so sweet.
And not ‘dumb’.
Anyway, where is everyone else?

she asked us to add them.
and i guess asked whoever lily is.
someone who’s not up yet.

Hm, well I have Hunter’s contact on here from the other night…
And I think Natalie as well, from before.
Let me see if I can get them in here.
Whenever they're up.

ok cool.
god are you sure you’re okay after that shit with hunter.
i know it's sex but hearing about that made me wanna beat the shit out of them.

Well, it was extremely painful.
For me, at least.
But I’m a big girl. I can handle it.
And I think it did a lot for all of us.
I didn’t honestly think they had those kinds of knife tricks in them.
The more you know, I guess.

if you say so.

— Luma added cakegirl to the chat. —

uh
hi 😳

Hi!
I don’t believe we’ve met.

you’re new or something right.

yeah haha 😅
um
me n luma did stuff earlier this week
sorry is that forward?
idrk how this works…

i don’t think it ‘works’ i think she just wants to ping everyone when she’s hungry or whatever.
not including me.
but it’s fine ok talk about the weird sex shit if you want.
i’ll just ignore it.

ok! 🙂
well um i guess i was kinda surprised!
like luma seemed just like i imagined her in person at first
but as soon as we said go n stuff a switch flipped or smth
ik she says she has rough sex n stuff in her blog posts but this was sooooo much
i was hers i was so so so hers 🥰 she leaned into it so hard…
she like made me be a footstool for her n scratched my back rly hard and she hissed and growled and grabbed me tight enough to hurt n i was hersssss 🥵
she got me hard n teased me for like hours n said she'd corrupt me and hollow me out and also fix me and save me and
llike
i couldn’t stop thinking about her the whole timmmmmmmmeeeee 😵‍💫
just an extension of her will n also her food
and then there was aftercare and that was rly sweet!
she cuddled me n played w/ my hair…😊😊😊
the only problem was i wasn’t hers anymore hehe
but i guess maybe that’s bad idk
aaaaah i cant wait to do it again next week!!!

That’s… hot.
And sweet, I think?
But I mean, and don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t think Jessica was being that literal…

oh uh haha
sssssorry!!!
sorry i kinda
um
i thought
sorry

It’s fine!

sorry

Seriously.
It’s kind of interesting, I guess, hearing how other people relate to this… thing.
I guess for me I really don’t like to think about it most of the time.
But when I do, it’s like…
I dunno. Like what you said, I guess.
Except that time I had to failsafe on Mary’s enthrallment.
That was… I don’t like thinking about that at all.

oh ur one of her old thralls?

Wow, you are new.
Uh, one of the people she enthralled?
Yeah.
I tried to kill her because she randomly enslaved my girlfriend on the train.
You can fill in the rest.
Nice to meet you by the way.
Should probably say that at some point.

lmao yeah
uh sry i mean that sounds bad…
like seriously i mean it um
yeah 😅

I’m happy you liked my joke.
I get it, I appreciate the sympathy but I’m just venting.
That whole thing was beyond awful but I can’t help but laugh it off on some level.
I mean, I was making my way in the tech industry as a black woman, that’s hard enough… but then I try to stop some white lady from tearing apart my life and suddenly I’m her sex slave and there’s marks on my back. And I’m being told it's what's best for me.
Not that I didn’t already have a thing about some of that but still.
It’s like something out of a goddamn political cartoon.
The wildest part is I don't think she ever noticed. She sure as hell never played it up.
Even Luma hadn’t thought of it until i told her.

oh wow yeah that’s
that sounds like a lot sorry 😕

It’s whatever, just something I think about sometimes.
I like to think I’m good at coping.
You kind of have to be.

i hope ur like
ok abt that?
sry i dunno what i can rly say about this stuff 😔

Don’t worry about it.
It’s kind of personal, you’re not gonna add much.
Being normal about it is enough for me right now.

ok 🙂
i mean im not rly normal hehe but i get what u mean

Cool, good.
Anyway…
God, this is so out of order.
Hi, I’m Helen Reynolds. What’s your name?

hehe it’s lily. lily kegan
or i mean that’s not my full name but like
well i guess my legal name’s catherine still but

— Hell-in-Earth added SmallManForYou to the chat. —

Hello

Yeah, that was a whole saga, Lily.
I’m sure they can explain it sometime

i Have a complicated Relationship
with a few Things

why r u typing like that

Typing is One Of the things

uh ok 🙂

God, Mary always used to talk about you, Hunter.
You were, like, exhibit A to her that Luma was full of shit.
I hope it gives her hell knowing you’re here now.

i dont Know what To think of All That
I Dont know

who is This

Hey, yeah, um, hello?

— +1 (415) 555-2474 changed their name to GraveHarper —

It’s just me guys don’t freak

Oh, hey, Natalie!
Sorry, I was worried one of Mary’s thralls infiltrated this chat or something.

Ohhhhh yeah fuck could you imagine with you two hiding at luma's place
That would be such a shitshow oh my god
It's bad enough where I live
Anyway what is this like luma’s fuckbuddy chat or something
I see hunter’s here

i Am

And wait who’s @shitstarter

jessica.

Oh shit

before you say it I’m not doing shit with her ok.
just looking after helen.

Aw that’s sweet
Ok and
Wait is that THE cakegirl
Like the freaky one from luma’s comment section

yep 🙂
guilty as charged hehe

Holy shit girl how’d you swing that

i was in the study!

Oh fuck yeah that’s wrapping up isn’t it
Shit okay
Uh go off i guess
Happy for you
Has anyone invited dana yet

Not yet. Do you have their contact details?

who Is Dana

Yeah I’ll send them a link
Oh shit hunter you never met dana?

No

me either!
i dont even know who u r lmao 😵‍💫

Oh shit
Uh well i was the first one to have this weird situationship thing going with luma i guess?
Does that help

oh u were the one she attacked in the woods!
how did that feel? 🙂

Ok that’s a hell of a question 🤔
Dunno if im up to talk about it right now lmao

ok 😶
uh
sorry 😅

Don't worry about it
Anyway hunter yeah
Luma got mary to enthrall someone for a sec so she could show her how to unenthrall them
That was dana
They ended up sticking around
We hang out sometimes
Went hiking together like a week ago

— GraveHarper added forest_freak to the chat. —

Speak of the devil

oh, hello
good afternoon everyone
am i the devil, now

😆

the Devil Is not real

Bestie you’re literally lucifer
Don’t listen to hunter they don’t know what they’re talking about

frankly, natalie, i think they do
i can’t be the devil because luma has never worshipped me
quite the opposite in fact

😆😆😆

lmAo

anyway
this is… what, a chat for luma to use in contacting us?
and am i understanding who ‘us’ is appropriately

its pervert blood chat ok.
she wants to ping you people when she’s hungry.

👆

@shitstarter are you intending to live up to your name

ugh no that just came out bad.
look you’re the last one in and this chat has been blowing up my phone all day.
i got pissy for a moment.
just wanted to get explanations out of the way.
sorry.

oh, that’s alright, jessica
i scrolled up and i believe i understand
this is a chat for luma to use in coordinating the people she drinks from regularly
i’m making it complete now

yeah you are.

huh dana u have such a weird way of talking

i've been told this before

i mean sry um
thats kinda rude to just say 😅
uh hi im lily?
sorry

hello lily
what are you apologizing for

nnnnothing ig????
sorry

don't be
i'm what people would call a big girl
if a not normal, they/them one
i can take anything you can hit me with

yyyyeah ofc 😅
sorry im kinda like
ah i miss bein hers…

ah, i see

What do You see
How Is that relevant

i assume lily is saying that she misses the certainty which comes with being enthralled?
and the lack of moral culpability, most likely
plus i must expect luma would have ordered someone like her not to apologize in general, at least for the duration of their sexual relations
it makes sense

ummmmmmmm
hahaha no way
u can't
uh

is my assessment incorrect

u can't just lay it all out like that!!! 😡

evidently, i can

Hey lay off of lily
This is freak shit let her be a lil embarassed

it's not that!!!
im very used to bein kinky i just uh
never got to do it with anyone 😅😅😅

Yeah so it's different right
I mean i assume it’s gotta be
I haven't been your type of like online-only horny in like
Ever lmao
I still feel like i'm just going crazy sometimes that i'm even here

yeah…
gosh ur like
normal aren't u

Yeah i'm as normal as it gets bestie haha

huh… 🤔
gosh everyone here's so different
it's kinda nice 🙂

Vampires often have An Eclectic group
Luma told Me She actively Wants that
to keep from Going P Zombie

that's a sweet sentiment, sort of
it makes sense

Yeah, I hope that works out.
For all our sakes, if nothing else…
And I agree, it’s nice to know kinds of people I would never meet otherwise.
To be friends, even.

Yeah that's top shelf sap but it's true
You don't need to be enthralled to like not apologize all the time lily
We're all friends here
Sort of
Nothing to be embarrassed over

i mean DON'T i need to be enthralled tho?
like i just don't have to care abt ANYTHING that way!
i cant mess anything up if i am!
and i thought maybe it'd start feelin kinda hollow but then it like doesn't
idk whats the downside

Lily…

i would regard that comfort as something of a crutch
it inhibits the ability to develop a complete sense of one’s own value
that is to say, i meant no hostility earlier, lily
you have real value to me just by virtue of being a metamour of sorts
as natalie said, there is nothing to be embarrassed over

i guess…
but it doesn’t feel that way
and she like
she MAKES it feel that way 😊
whether i want it to or not
keeps all the bad thoughts away cuz im doing everything right for her
like that one meme with the soldier guy and all the arrows
but now its like she’s keepin all the good thoughts away 😔

by which you mean the enthrallment
she’s keeping her own enthrallment out of your mind

yeah ig
i know it’s silly just
sorry 😅

no i mean
she’s keeping it out
it’s her doing it
oh god it’s
it’s Her

Oh shit
You ok there dana

…i’m not sure what i was talking about, lily
you’re making more sense than me

Alright bestie sounds like it’s failsafe time
You got that on hand?

i’ll listen to it in a moment
it’s just that… it was Her doing it…
do you understand?

Uh 😐
Sounds like a dangerous question
Cognitohazard or some shit

no, it’s good
it makes so much more sense this way

i
I Understand
Only a Goddess could do such a thing
Only one like Her
I
Have to go for a moment

omg is this contagious

Lookin that way

that’s so fun 🥰
what is it ur all thinkin
can i join in

Bestie i’m pretty sure you started it
Must be something about how luma like
How it was her who
Who
Lmao i really don’t wanna think about this 😆
I really don’t
Which is weird because like wouldn’t that mean she like
Like it was her who
Uh
Brb

who what???? 😭

ok what the hell are you people up to.
helen’s like acting weird.
giggling and shit.

Oh, I didn’t think you noticed, Jess!
Sorry, I’m fine, but it looks like Lily might have loosed some kind of… ‘cognitohazard’ in here?

what the hell does that mean.

i didn’t mean to it just kinda happened??????

Probably better not to worry about it.

and now i’m more worried about it.
ok i looked back.
what’s so special here.

thats what IM asking 😭

like yeah ok she boxed all the thrall thoughts away and shit.
what does that mean.
it doesn’t mean they’re not boxed away.
unless like wait.
ok is it that it’s her or some shit.
is that what’s so
wait shit no.
no.
no no.
nnnononononoNONONNOONOFUCKKKKK

oh gosh
uh sorry?
i didnt mean to get u all like
r u ok? 😟

Hey, I’m taking care of Jess.
She’ll need a moment…
Look, don’t blame yourself, okay?
None of us know what we’re doing here.
Not even Luma.

ok…
😅 ur right
sorry

uh
i’m gonna go like pretend that worked on me for a bit
but i’ll be back later 🙂

— forest_freak added +1 (415) 555-7812 to the chat. —

i’m back
apologies, everyone
in retrospect, i think my interrogation of lily’s meaning may have amplified things quite a bit there
in a similar vein, no pun intended, it would probably be best not to explain why i think that all happened

agreed

are you alright, hunter

i’m Fine
now
What Is it about Enthrallment
it feels Like it’s The Same As normal when it Happens
i Only realize it Wasn’t later

that’s the nature of the beast, i suppose

it makes So much Sense Now
why They Said everything was Fine
all the way To The End

oh, is there something tragic in your past, hunter?

Would Rather not talk about It

ah, that’s alright

Ok i’m back
Not that i went sex bonkers or anything like the rest of you
Who told you that haha

you did just now, bestie

😭
Ok fine
I’m back now though
Did everyone else get out ok

looks like helen’s still helping jessica through it

Oh god jessica got hit too?
Jesus hope she’s holding up

She’ll be okay, I think.
She just needs some space.
I’m making sure she’s nice and cared for.

Good keep it up

Oh Jessica’s here?
And Helen?
Hey guys!
How have you been?

Wait, Dana, you invited someone?
Who did you invite?
Who is this?

Oh, sorry, one sec

oh, did you not want me to invite her?
i said i was completing the chat

Dana, who the HELL did you invite!?

— +1 (415) 555-2474 changed their name to Cait! —

Hey~!
Don’t worry, it’s just me

YOU INVITED CAITLYN!?

— shitstarter left the chat. —

yeah, like i told you
she’s basically one of us, isn’t she?

CAITLYN IS MARY’S THRALL, DANA.

yes, but what does that
oh, wait
mary didn’t know about you being here, did she

WELL SHE DOES NOW!

…

Oh…
Yeah, I… kinda already went through this chat…
You and Jessica are staying with Luma right?
Hiding from… um, Mistress.

If you seriously think I’m going to tell you anything then you’re even more delusional than I was.
And that’s saying something.
If you’re on an off day and you have some fucking absinthe handy then I’ll consider it.
Otherwise believe what you want.

Yeah, I… haven’t had an off day in a while
Maybe a couple weeks?
Mistress has been kind of… agitated, lately

Yeah, so I’ve heard.
Hence the fucking terror.
Jessica’s curled up in a ball right now, Caitlyn.
Do you know what it takes to do that to her?

I’m sorry, okay?
I don’t know what I can do

You can not tell her what you think you know.

I, um.
I mean…
I mean you know how this is, right?
I really can’t

Of course.

I mean, like
Maybe you could hide somewhere else!
Somewhere I don’t know about?

Sounds like something she’d make you say to coax us out.

Ok um
I could… tell you it’ll be ok, whatever happens?
But that’ll probably just make you mad, right?

Yeah.
Yeah, that’s about right.

Oh holy shit it’s the nightmare scenario
Fucking hell
What are we going to do about this

We’re not going to talk shop in this chat, for one thing.
Who knows who’s watching it now.

i’m going to go make a new chat

Gosh I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to ruin this for you guys!!!
I didn’t send any links to anyone else if that helps?

There are ways around that and you know it.
Look, I really wish I could trust you.
I’m sorry that I can’t.

Hey okay caitlyn i get you can’t really say no to a direct question
Like i’ve been there we all have it’s freak shit but that’s the way it is
But can you just like hold out?
I mean you’re not under orders to inform on us right

I guess not…
Ok I won’t tell her
Unless she asks
So…
Probably as soon as she wakes up…
Sorry

Well, shit

Ughhhhh and I was so excited to see you guys too!
I missed you guys!
Remember when we
I mean, uh

No, go ahead.
I’ll start!
How about that time you held me down so Mary could bite me, no matter how much I begged you to let me go?
That was fun, wasn’t it.

I mean, you know what I’m gonna say…

I do.

I mean it felt good when you held down that PI you hired to come after you, right???
I don’t even know what happened to that guy

I didn’t either.
You don’t need to explain this to me, Caitlyn.
I know what it’s like.
Like Natalie said, we all do.
I’m not even mad at you…
I miss you too, you know? Kind of?
Somewhere in the nightmare soup?
Why’d you go back, Cait?
You didn’t have to do that.

I… kind of did…

No, you didn’t.
You think I don’t have regrets? You think Jessica doesn’t?

I guess not?
Whatever, you two are stronger than me, sure
I just… I have to follow Mistress
I can’t give it up
She’s too good
I love Her too much
It’s easy to forget how nice it is, you know?
It feels so good…
It never feels wrong

Well, fuck, good for you!
You get to feel good.
Congratulations.

…I’m sorry

No, no, don’t bother.
You took your deal with the devil.
I hope it was fucking worth it.
