I was wearing a pink sundress with tiny yellow hearts sewn at the bottom end. I was also wearing long sheer stockings,
I was splayed out on a fainting couch in John Delmonte's lounge room. John was lying face-up on the ground, his eyes shut and his hands behind his head. Abigail was sitting cross-legged in a blue dress with white frills, playing with some string that she was folding and unfolding with her fingers.
"They're living in the past. Imagine the dirt and smell of the barbarian peoples," said John.
"A dirty life of grime," I said apathetically, enjoying playing with the words.
"That's life for them," said Abigail, not looking up. "That's what they get. Most people get what they want, I think, and if you want to live in filth and muck, you deserve it."

I was naked. And I was near tears.
My ass was in the air as I tried desperately to grab an apple with my teeth. I could hear the laughter of a crowd of barbarians - their jeers and taunts filled my ears. I had been at this for what felt like hours and managed to get maybe half a dozen smaller apples. Now I was running into the bigger ones that were harder to grab onto. I was covered in cold water that made my nipples rock hard. The fact that my hands were tied behind my back meant I nearly fell in multiple times.
I bit at the apple in front of me and it bounced off my teeth. I grunted in frustration. I tried snapping at it a few more times and it just kep slipping under my grip.
"Look at her ass shake as she goes for it!" I heard a man yell. My ears burned, as much because they saw my failure at a simple task as because of my nudity.
I bit in and finally grabbed it. As I lifted it, there was a sarcastic cheering for me. Suddenly, it fell from my lips back into the bucket. The cheers turned to laughter. I finally just gave up. I fell backwards onto my ass and sat, tears falling down my face. This was so fucking stupid! Why couldn't I manage this?! I felt even stupider as I was sobbing. I felt weak and stupid and naked. The crowd were in helpless giggles. I loathed them for their leering at my body and enjoying my failure.
"Come on, Megan," said Liltok, sneering. "You have a job to do."
"No! This is stupid! Why do I have to do this?" I felt my voice coming out whiny and was ashamed. She simply smirked as I sat there sniffling.
