17 Forged in Chains
In the break room on Friday morning, the other people were already waiting for us, all of whom were now to go with us to the ranch. I saw some faces here that were unfamiliar to me. Isabell had come to the basement together with me, after we had separated first in the early morning. We had not had sex during the night. She had felt the need to cuddle, and I hadn't felt like having sex either. Every now and then I had the feeling that she really wanted to tell me something, but didn't dare. Of course, I suspected that it had something to do with Rebecca. And for a moment I was tempted to go with her to the boiler room. But I didn't really trust Isabell anymore. We had gotten up early at 4:00 a.m., eaten a snack, and then said goodbye to get ready separately, which meant that each of us showered thoroughly, gave ourselves an enema, and then slipped into comfortable clothes that would only be worn until filming began. The costumes were waiting for us on the set.
The greetings and introductions had been kept extremely brief. Somehow I had the feeling that both Jelena and Diana would have preferred it if I had gone down on my knees in front of them and kissed their boots. Rebecca behaved as she always did, namely inscrutable. Linse, on the other hand, was taciturn and reserved, but this was not surprising given the presence of his marital dominatrix.
On the right stood the make-up artist Yvonne and the sound technician Edward, further in the middle Jelena.
I don't know exactly how I had imagined Red Dragon, but certainly not like this little redhead. She might be in her mid-40s, not exactly slim, not particularly tall. Without her high-heeled shoes, she was considerably shorter than me, with my 174 cm.
Matej, Mister Big Dick, was a handsome man, well-toned, about 185 cm tall, with black hair and brown eyes.
Lighting technician Andreas and the second sound technician Sandro were completely unknown to me, even from listening, and I knew the second cameraman Helge from the first shoot in the basement. The seventh man in the room was unusual. He wore a full face mask and black leather clothes. This must be the mysterious Q. I quickly looked at his crotch; underneath his tight leather pants, something that could be a steel chastity belt for men stood out.
"This is our genius engineer Q, who is responsible for most of the equipment here at our facility," Rebecca introduced him to me. "He'll be forging you into the irons later. After all, the show is in the basement two auditorium. That means that selected studio guests will also have access and will be watching you. They won't be allowed on stage, of course. The sound technicians will use directional microphones to make sure that nothing of the guests' noises and conversations gets into the recordings. Oliver, our chief lighting technician, is only needed for the exterior shots. In the studios and on the stages we light everything by remote control from the control room. Other helpers are waiting for us on the farm. Once everything is settled, we'll be ready to go."
Rebecca's ranch was a bit out of town, and the drive took over an hour, partly on the highway. But where exactly I could not say, because I sat, together with Isabell, Oliver, Edward and Yvonne also, in one of the vans with darkened windows and separate driver's cab, in which otherwise probably the VIP customers were driven to the show. The comfort was good, there was a minibar, TV, radio and internet. Just no view to the outside or cell phone, we were not allowed to take them with us. Only a few drivers knew the route and the destination. Linse was obviously one of them, because he had to drive the van with the equipment. My bus was driven by Jelena. Rebecca and Q sat in the limousine with the chauffeur, the others rode in the second bus with Diana as the driver. It was interesting to learn who all belonged to the inner circle. On the way, we speculated about whether we would meet Charly today, who was also supposed to direct the outside shoot. I hadn't realized how many people were involved and working on our side. Three weeks ago, when Rebecca had said something about just under 400, I thought that was incredible. In the meantime, I realized that our building was not a small employer. And I began to suspect that politicians and administrators were also aware that not everything was above board here, but that they preferred to look the other way when things were this big, as long as everything looked legal on paper and tax revenues flowed in.
It was a mild August morning, rain was announced for the weekend, but today there were only scattered clouds. As we disembarked, another six people were waiting for us. Next to RenΓ©, 'The Punisher', were five women in orange work overalls and bare feet. The special thing, however, were their other accessories: stainless steel collars with attachment rings for chains and the same kind of hoops on the wrists and ankles. In addition, black, anatomically formed latex masks with red edges around the openings for mouth and eyes, with nostrils. On two, a mop of hair peeked out from another rear opening. The zippers on the backs went all the way under the collars, and without unzipping them, the masks were probably impossible to remove. Printed on the forehead of each mask was a two-digit number.
"Let me introduce you," Rebecca took me aside and led me toward the welcoming committee. "You already know my trusted Master P. Please don't call him by his first name here in front of the slave girls, it's not proper."
"Master P," I greeted him with curt nods.
He nodded back briefly.
"And these are the 24/7ers. Slave girls who serve me personally for a variety of reasons. Some for longer, others only relatively briefly to serve off a debt."
At the word debt, Rebecca had hesitated for a barely noticeable moment, looking at me closely to gauge my reaction. Of course, I understood what she meant. But I had been in the BDSM scene since I was 18, and hardly anything could shock or surprise me anymore. So I nodded just to show that I understood.
"You are strictly forbidden to speak today. You will be addressed by your number. Number 17 is your personal assistant today, she will help you dress and provide you with drinks and snacks during breaks. The one addressed curtsied. Her long, brunette hair was tied in a ponytail and stuck out the back of her mask. Other than her brown eyes, I could see little of her. Number 11 is in charge of Isabell, and the others will do all the relief work."
Rebecca clapped her hands, "So, folks, this is going to be the most elaborate show we've done at our place yet, and this trailer even more so. For those who don't know, it's going to be a million euro show! It has to bring in at least that much to cover the costs. So everybody do your best. Now let's get to work. Everyone knows what needs to be done, time is short. We have to be done by tonight."
11 and 17 led Isabell and me into the house, a converted farmstead of half-timbered construction. It had certainly not been a simple farmer who had built this house. It must have been a small landed nobleman, probably a knight. The rebuildings had preserved the exterior style, the whole property must have been a listed building. Inside, however, it was very modern, with marble floors, wide rooms, and quite bright. I had to step out again for a moment. There were several bathrooms in the house.
Upstairs, one room was available as a dressing room and makeup room. Since today's scene belonged temporally to my previous session, I wore the same robe as on Tuesday, Isabell, on the other hand, wore Ronja's robe, supplemented with leather arm and leg protectors and a leather breastplate that was distantly reminiscent of samurai.
Meanwhile, in other rooms, the trio and Matej had finished getting ready. But their costumes were incomparably better. Presumably Isabell represented only a simple soldier of the Paladin, while the trio were obviously officers. Incredible how sexy samurai armor can look on a woman.
The other female slaves had obviously helped with changing as well, because now they quickly scurried out ahead of us to make themselves useful outside. The mysterious Charly was actually not present, but was connected live via internet connection and received the pictures directly into the apartment building to be able to give his instructions. I decided to monitor the lobby of the building and see if I could uncover him. However, so far I had no clue about his appearance either. At some point in the near future, I would certainly elicit something from Lens that could give me a clue.
The shooting began at shortly before eleven. I met with Isabel in the barn, where she handed me a parchment that was supposed to contain secret information about the Order of Paladins.
What sounded so short and simple took over an hour to get in the can. We must have been shooting a motion picture here. Shot and counter-shot were terms that I had not been familiar with before. So one and the same scene had to be shot several times from different angles. Oh yes, the little text should also fit and it was not helpful to get a laughing fit when the warrior opposite suddenly got stuck in the straw bale with her sword and toppled over with the whole pile when she wanted to lean elegantly against it.
A snack was taken standing up to avoid further delays and save time. The next scenes were already much more difficult.
From all sides the four paladins stormed the barn and surrounded us. Isabell immediately stretched her sword, but I fully trusted in my Kumiho powers and started the fight. Matej received a sidekick that sent him halfway through
