The Final Score
We’re close enough to the main event that we decided that yesterday’s wrestling practice session was our last “official” one, the last one where we’d be keeping score.
Of course, as you might expect if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, there turned out to be a bit of an unexpected twist.
After all the matches were over, and all the trading of hours was done (Anne buying up all the “Liz hours,” and Mistress Amy letting Anne buy her freedom, as promised, in exchange for all of Anne’s “Cyn hours”), this was the score: Cyn owed 29 hours to Mistress Amy, and Liz owed 34 hours to Anne.
Needless to say, Cyn and Liz weren’t very happy with this.
I think this is a good time to talk about something that my Mistress and I were noticing hasn’t been talked about much here, which is sexual orientation.
Guttergaunt is mostly about games between girls, but it’s not like every girl involved in these games is a lesbian. I think that Maybue, Faighnee, and Daisypoo do consider themselves lesbians, though for all I know, one or two of them might be bi, and they just haven’t mentioned it yet.
Lila usually identified herself as bi, though actually she was a lot more lesbian than bi in practice. She didn’t have any sexual involvement with anyone male the whole time she was writing on this site, and all the sexual experiences from her past that she mentioned were with girls, too, except for the brief fling she had with Nicky (which if I remember right was for about two months, in 2001 I think, and was the first time she’d been with a guy in a lot of years, and the last time ever… and Nicky seems to kind of weirdly transcend gender, anyway, or at least that’s sure how it seemed the time I met him).
Mistress Yoko, as far as I know, despite her incredible talent for dominating and fiendishly sexually toying with women, plays with women only online and long-distance, and in the offline world is heterosexual and married to some very lucky man. Neige is bi, and has more sex with men than with women. Most of the time that she was assisting Mistress Yoko in dominating Lila, she also had a boyfriend.
I’m bi, though of course I’m not allowed to do anything with guys anymore. Even before I was enslaved, I’d pretty much decided that I was more into girls than guys, maybe 75/25 instead of 50/50.
Until she became my owner, all of Mistress Amy’s serious relationships were with guys, though she’d had some attraction to women and fooled around with a couple of them. (In case it wasn’t clear to some readers, we do now consider our Mistress/slave relationship to be a committed romantic relationship. Technically, Mistress Amy is still allowed to play around with other people, but she chooses not to, for which I’m very grateful to her.) Mistress Amy says that she prefers not to label herself as “gay” or “straight” or “bi.” She says that she’s decided her sexual orientation is “dominant,” because being in charge is more of a turn-on for her than the gender of her partner.
Anne identifies as bi, totally 50/50.
The rest of the women Mistress Amy and Anne and I hang out with consider themselves heterosexual. They’re adventurous enough to have lots of fun toying with female slaves and captives, as I know all too well, but they don’t date other women or have sex with them. Cyn and Liz fall into that category.
The reason I’m going into all of this now, is that of course a woman’s sexual orientation would make a big difference in her experience of being the sex slave of another woman. As hard as it is being a slave sometimes, never getting any say in any aspect of my sex life, at least the person I have to serve sexually is a person I find beautiful and sexy and who turns me on.
Now, Cyn and Liz, two basically heterosexual women, found themselves facing having to spend lots of hours as the slaves of two non-heterosexual women. We hadn’t set any limits on what slaves could be made to do, and after all, this is the Guttergaunt world, where it’s pretty much a given that slavery is mostly sexual: sexual humiliation, sexual torments, and sexual service. Cyn and Liz knew this, of course, though I don’t think they expected to come off quite so badly in the final scores. So, as you can imagine, they were getting pretty nervous.
Then Mistress Amy proposed that maybe they should be given a final chance to escape their fates… if they were willing to gamble and take the risk of maybe ending up even worse off. We all quickly started brainstorming, and this is the game we came up with: Each of the losers would wrestle her future owner once more: Cyn would wrestle Mistress Amy, and Liz would wrestle Anne. In these two final matches, there would be a few things within easy reach that could be used to tie someone up (bathrobe belts and scarves).
The goal was for the future slave to avoid being tied up by her future mistress. If she (Cyn or Liz) could stay free for five minutes (without leaving the mattress we were using for our wrestling ring), then all of her slavery hours would be cancelled, and she’d get off scott-free.
But if the future slave ended up getting helplessly tied up within the five minutes, then the total number of hours she owed would be multiplied by five.
Cyn and Mistress Amy went first. Cyn’s wrestling skills have been improving lately, and endurance is her strong suit. It was quite a battle, but she succeeded in staying free until the timer went off. Mistress Amy says she’s not too bummed to have lost this chance to have Cyn as a temporary slave… she’s got a pretty “easy come, easy go” attitude, and knows there will be other chances to play in the future, and she says that after all, she already owns a beautiful, well-trained, and devoted permanent slave girl (*blush*).
Then it was Liz and Anne’s turn. Anne had Liz fully, perfectly hogtied in about three minutes.
So the final score, after all this, was: Mistress Amy, Anne, and Cyn owed no hours to anyone. But poor Liz owed 170 hours to Anne.
After a brief discussion, Anne decided that she should celebrate her victory and that a hogtied and helpless Liz was too good an opportunity to waste. So she pulled Liz’s shirt and bra up over her head onto her arms, and her shorts and panties to her knees, leaving her naked, and then we had a nice long tickle party, after which Liz, still hogtied, had to spend about an hour sucking everyone’s toes in turn (even mine… my Mistress was feeling generous).
In order to be granted mercy and untied without further tickling, Liz had to agree to be our slave for the rest of the night. Anne pointed out that none of that night’s fun counted against Liz’s 170 hours, since Liz was obeying us because she was our prisoner, not because Anne had declared that she was using some of the time Liz owed her. Liz made the mistake of objecting to this, while she was still tied, so Anne began tickling her again until she agreed that Anne’s version was right and that night wouldn’t be subtracted from the 170 hours. Then Anne declared that as Liz’s punishment for arguing with her captor, the 170 hours should be doubled. Liz objected furiously, but of course she was still hogtied and helpless, so through a bit more fiendish torture, Anne was soon able to persuade Liz to agree in front of all of us that the hours would be doubled (actually, Anne got Liz to beg her to double the hours… Anne can be very persuasive when she’s got someone at her mercy).
We had a lot of fun that night with Liz as our naked serving girl (even I got to be served… I worship my Mistress for her generosity). And now she owes Anne 340 hours of slave-time, and is quite distressed about it (especially now that she’s had a little taste of what it’s like to be in Anne’s power).
Not sure when the next update will be, but hopefully it will be after we wrestle Cyn’s guy, and hopefully I’ll have some more fun news to report.

That’s an interesting turn of events. I feel sorry for Liz. Although that’s what she get’s for underestimating Anne. I’m not sure that doubling the time is entirely fair given that it goes againt the rules of the final wrestle.
As for what counts towards the Slavery time. It was long agreed that that would all be resolved after the big event.
If i remember, i think somone said Liz only got involved cause it was fun. Somehow though i think Annes had this evil plan for some time.
I don’t think there are any excuses for Liz except that she should have known better.
Just 1 thing. 170 hours times 2 is 340 hours not 280.

Oops, yeah, I meant 340. Don’t know where that “280″ figure came from… I’ve switched to a new work schedule recently and was really, really sleepy when I wrote this entry. Thanks for catching it, Syke – I’ve made the correction in the entry. (We didn’t make the mistake while we were playing with Liz – we said “340″ at that time, so it’s not like Anne and Liz had been thinking it was 280. it was just my error while typing the entry).
Doubling the time wasn’t part of the rules of the final wrestle, but it follows a long-standing, permanent, always-in-effect rule of our group of friends, which is that anytime you’ve got someone at your mercy, any promise that you can get them to make to “ransom” themselves is fair game, and is “legally binding” (and will be enforced by the group) if it’s sworn in front of two or more witnesses who agree that it’s not too unreasonable a deal and agree that they’ll back up the winner’s claim later. (we all agreed to the doubling, because it amused us and we didn’t think it was an unreasonable penalty, as far as teaching Liz why bound and naked captives shouldn’t argue. We wouldn’t have agreed to anything more than a doubling, though… the rule that the witnesses have to think it’s reasonable is an important rule, because some people will promise *anything* to get tickle-torture to stop.)

I’m not questioning that rule, although it’s good to take note. But as you’d already multiplied her slavery by 5 times. it means she’s serving 10 times more than she started with.
Although as Anne pratically owns Liz with the equivalent of 14 and a bit straight days, it reminds me of Lila’s MDP to Yoko.

Have you considered giving Liz a chance to reduce that time if she wins her match with Cyn’s guy? Or even if she can just go the time limit and wear him down enough one of the other girls can win?
*shrugs* It’s no skin off my back either way, but if Liz really isn’t in to this I wonder at the wisdom of antagonizing her right before the “main event.”

Wow, that’s a LOT of time.
If Liz behaves, maybe give her a way to work off some of the time. Maybe after a long session of “fun” with her mistress, you could have her write about it, Lila-style, and knock off a few hours.
It would be great fun for those of us who are faithful readers :}

Sagey, Liz isn’t bound by Guttergaunt reading demand that Lila, Pooky and now Daisypoo are. I don’t know how the relationship between them is. I would imagine it’s unlikly but it’s up to Anne really if she wants Liz to write somthing. And then she’d have to get Pooky or Amy to post it up.
As for Liz working off the time in some other way i don’t think so. I think Anne wants to enjoy every minute of it. She was Lila’s secret right hand againt Pooky after all.

Actually, Vague, Liz isn’t involved in the bet with Cyn’s guy. The original bet Cyn made with him was “her plus three of her female friends,” and she chose the three best wrestlers from among her female friends: me, Anne, and Mistress Amy. Then when we were discussing scheduling our first practice session, Liz was there and she said that she wanted to join the practice sessions because they sounded fun. She won’t be there when we wrestle Cyn’s guy, because Cyn can’t change the terms of the original bet to add a fifth member to our team.

Ah, my mistake. Good luck to you all then!

It’s just occurred to me that as the time Anne owns Liz for doesn’t resolve until after the bet. Anne could torment the hell out of Liz right up until the time of the bet.
After that how is the time Anne Owns Liz timed? Because i can see a few loopholes Anne could use depending on how you time it. Loopholes that would make the whole time a lot longer than 340 hours.

Syke, it’s sort of irritating to have nearly everything I say contradicted by you.
I was just proposing that many people would probably enjoy. It would be a lot of fun to hear Liz write about what happened to her, and if it means less torture time for her, she might not object.
If the people who run this site don’t want my suggestions (and trust me, I have some good ones), then they can personally tell me.

Yeah, Syke, we’ve warned you about this before. You don’t run this site, you don’t get to decide what the rules are, and we don’t need you to remind people of the rules. Your bossy, know-it-all attitude is really obnoxious, and you’re making it unpleasant for the other people who comment here. We like getting comments from our readers, so we’re not going to let you be rude to the other people who comment here.
I hate doing techie stuff, so I’m going to be really pissed if I have to go to all the trouble of installing whatever plugin I need to install in this blog to enable us to ban specific readers from commenting. But I’ll do it if I have to. If you’re ever rude to another person on this site again, I’ll make sure you’re not able to comment here anymore.
In case it’s not clear to you what’s rude about your behavior, I’m going to make this very simple: don’t correct people. Ever. Just don’t. It’s not helpful, it doesn’t make people feel good, and it doesn’t make us impressed with you. It makes you look like an obnoxious dickhead. So just don’t correct anyone on this site, ever again.
I’ll ban you as soon as you do.

Hey Pooky–
Great post. I’m very curious to see how Liz’s slave time ends up playing out.
The angle of sexual orientation is interesting, too. It didn’t occur to me that it hasn’t been fully discussed in this blog. It’s probably worth further discussion sometime.
My husband is indeed a lucky guy, and I’m a lucky gal. :) I’m very grateful to have him in my life.
I’m so pleased to hear how well you and Amy are doing. I’m so happy that it worked out the way it did.
And I’m looking forward to hearing about the main event! It’s going to be a great story– I just know it.
And I don’t think you’ll need a plug-in for banning– I think you can do it with the tools already available. If you need help with this, let me know.

Thank you, Mistress Yoko.
Mistress Amy and I have you to thank for our life together, of course. Mistress Amy says to say thank you for that, that it’s the best gift she’s ever gotten (*blush*). She also says I should thank you, too, for giving me to her and for putting me in my proper place in life, and that I should remind you that I’m in your debt forever, and that as because of my debt to you I’m always subject to being tortured for your amusement if the whim strikes you. (Of course, she’s just making me remind you of that in order to embarrass me and make me nervous… she and I both know that you don’t need reminding, and in addition to expressing my gratitude to you for giving me to Mistress Amy, I want to humbly thank you for the mercy you regularly show me by choosing not to exercise your permanent “torture rights” over me.)

You are very welcome, Pooks. [pat on the head] You two are so sweet together. I haven’t been feeling particularly evil lately (well, not where teasing and torturing are concerned), but if the mood strikes, I’ll be sure to let Amy know!
