Level Two: Novice:
In the judgment of her superiors, and once criteria for progression have been satisfied, a new entrant may progress to the level of Novice.
At this level, a Novice will now wear a thong or G-string that covers but does not obscure from sight or hinder access to, her pussy. This garment signifies her rank in the house.
The Novice has authority over new entrants and can command them to perform duties or tasks as desired, providing they do not contradict those given by any Overseer, Superior or Master.
As with all subservients, leather cuffs, collar and heels remain mandatory. Control chains are worn though piercings at the nipples and clit. Regular inspections for body hair continue.
The Novice is permitted to speak, providing it is one of the following phrases:
1. Yes Sir/Ma'am.
2. Yes Master/Mistress.
3. Thank you, Sir/Ma'am.
4. Thank you, Master/Mistress.
5. At once, Sir/Ma'am.
6. At once, Master/Mistress.
During punishment, a novice may thank their overseer for their chastisement using the phrase "Thank you Master/Mistress for correcting me."
The Novice is now expected to contribute to the governance and discipline of other subservients as directed (see discipline section). She will, upon command, contribute to the preparation and restraint of submissives who are being prepared for punishment. This can mean fixing and testing of restraints, tensioning of ropes, and laying out of chastisement devices such as canes etc. for the convenience of any punishing Overseer, Superior or Master. In cases where an errant is gagged or otherwise unable to count her own strokes, a Novice may be directed to count out the number of strokes or lashes being applied.
The Novice may be called upon to assist in the sexual use of other subservients, for example by assisting the subservient into equipment that spreads their legs, or otherwise prepares them for use, or preparing restraints. A Novice may collect a leashed subservient and take them to a chamber where they are required or desired.
The Novice may be required to stimulate other subservients to prepare them for sex. For example, a Novice may be commanded to take a new entrant and stimulate her nipples and clitoris until she is moist and ready to receive the cock of a Master.
Once a Novice has undertaken a satisfactory period of assessment she may proceed to the next level. In this assessment she must prove obedience, sexual availability, sexual responsiveness etc as above. In addition, the Novice must prove herself capable of taking the cum of a committee of no fewer than five Overseers in whatever manner they desire. In this assessment credit will be awarded for technique, skill, and deportment.
If a Novice does not satisfy this assessment, she will undergo disciplinary forfeit and will enter a further period of probation.
New Orders:
I was finishing my duties as a Novice in an anteroom to the main hall. Along with other Novices, we were cleaning the silverware and readying the cutlery for the evening meal. We knew that there were guests coming, and we were being watched intently by an Overseer. The Masters of the House were welcoming a delegate from another of the great Houses, and the responsibility fell to us to serve them in the great hall.
Like the other Novices, I laboured away, naked. Our permitted bodily adornments Novices were shoes with their five-inch heels locked to our ankles, wrist cuffs and a collar, and control chains which were dutifully worn through our nipples and clit. As novices we are permitted to wear a thong which only served to frame our pussies.
Thongs are brought to us by our overseers and are either crotchless or so lacy as to be transparent. Mine was little black lace construction that framed the lips of my pussy in jewels and pearls. Wearing it made me feel special, and just catching a glimpse of myself in the hall mirrors made me feel both desired and desirable. I wanted to touch myself, but the rules strictly forbade self-pleasuring amongst the submissives.
As we worked to get the great hall ready, our chains, the symbols of our bondage tinkled lightly in the silence.
Without warning, an Overseer entered the room, clad neck to toe in tight leather. "Prepare yourselves! Position A!" she barked.
Immediately we fell into line and assumed pose A: standing to attention with wrists crossed at the back. Ankles together. Chin up and eyes straight ahead.
The Overseer approached us and inspected us. I could see from the corner of my eye that a Novice was out of line. The Overseer raised a crop and brought it swiftly across the girl's nipples. The girl yelped briefly and then bit her lip. She staggered slightly, but then stood upright again. "Get in line, bitch!" hissed the Overseer. The Novice inched backwards into the line, her breath trembling.
The Overseer stood to our right, watching us for any deviation from attention.
We were not allowed to look anywhere but straight ahead, but I was straining to see from the corner of my eye, and I knew that the other Novices were doing the same. We heard footsteps approaching and one of the Masters entered the hall. It was unusual for a Master to concern himself with Novices, generally they commended the more well trained subservients like Initiates. The master was dressed in silk robes tied at the waist. He carried a slender cane and surveyed the line of near naked subservients in a studied fashion. What was this about?
He approached us as we stood obediently. He looked us up and down, taking his time as we stared straight ahead, as motionless as we were able. "We are looking for entertainment for our guests tonight." he said, looking at us, but addressing the Overseer. "I want to see you test them."
The Master pulled up a chair facing the line-up and watched us intently. His gaze returned to me. I was aware of my complete nakedness in front of him, his gaze taking in my breasts, lingering on my shaved pussy.
He pointed with his cane at a Novice to my left, and then to me. "These two to start, I think."
The Overseer obediently moved forward to the fist Novice. "You. Step forward, position B." she barked.
The Novice moved immediately and stood still with her hands behind her back, but this time with her legs parted. The Overseer took hold of the control chains and tugged gently, pulling on her clit and her nipples. Gently, she wound the thin chain around her fingers until it was pulled tight, expertly preventing the Novice from moving. As she tried to move, the tight grip on the chains would dig into the most sensitive parts of her body. She was helpless. Control chains were well named.
The Overseer commenced massaging the girl's right nipple with her left hand, whilst keeping the chains taut. Round and round moved the Overseer's fingers over the helpless girl's nipple, whilst all the time studying her reaction. The Novice let out a small groan but stayed still.
The Master sat watching, and then tapped briefly on the stone floor with his cane.
Next, the Overseer moved a gloved hand down the flat of her belly to The Novice's shaved mound. She slid her finger between the Novice's pussy lips and found the little ring that attached to her clit. She pulled it gently, eliciting a little gasp. Probably instinctively, the Novice pulled away from the Overseers' attentions, and then stopped the movement. But it was too late.
"I told you to keep still, bitch!" she growled. "Punishment position f!"
The Novice jumped, visibly shocked. She turned and immediately leant forward, hands sliding down her own shins until she could grasp her ankles. The Overseer presented the Master with the crop, offering that he should carry out the correction should he wish. He casually shook his head. "Restrain her first" he ordered. The Overseer, with a few practiced moves, connected the Noice's wrist cuffs to her ankle cuffs. She was locked into position, bent far forward with her legs apart, her ass cheeks exposed and between them, her vulnerable pussy.
The Overseer turned her attention to the Novice, helpless in the punishment pose, her body trembling with effort and with anticipation.
"Proceed" the Master said, calmly.
The Overseer raised the crop and brought it smartly across the tight buttocks of the Novice. Her flesh quivered and she sucked air in over her teeth. "One" she cried. "Thank you for correcting me, Mistress!"
The Overseer again raised the crop and brought another stroke down on the Novices' bare buttocks. I could see that two clear red lines marked her white skin. "Two" she cried. "Thank you for correcting me, Mistress!"
The Overseer again raised the crop high and held it there for a second. I could see the Novice trembling with anticipation. She brought it down hard across her cheeks and third stripe marked the white flesh. Again, she sucked in air with a hiss and said, with effort, "Three." She took in a quivering breath. "Thank you for correcting me, Mistress"
The Master tapped his cane lightly on the stone and the Overseer stood to attention. The other Novice remained bent over, trembling. Between her pussy lips I could see a glint of gold; her clit piercing protruded and the control chain that led from it swung freely.
"Now the next one" said the Master, unhurriedly, turning his attention to me.
