Chapter 7 -- Testing and being tested
THE INTERVIEWS
The interviews for the women who had agreed to participate in the Whole New Slave Game all took place in my condo in Manhattan. I had to make sure they knew what they were getting into and would be good sex slaves if they lost.
The first interview was with a woman who was not really participating in the New Game at all. I was sure of this because, although she was going to be standing with the other women, Sarah Highland was already a sex slave. In fact, she became a sex slave before I did. The meeting with Sarah was just for me to learn more about women who would be participants.
"First off," Sarah said, "I do want to thank you for talking the Bolrian Lottery Corporation into letting me and a few of the other women live outside the resort after five years in one of the resorts. Don't get me wrong, I liked living in the resort on the sea in Bolry. I think being there for years probably saved my life, but I do not want to die in the resort. I was told by a few women that it was you working on Svetlana, Pyotr Tolski and others for years that got them to give slaves a little more of a life and a future. In fact, Svetlana told a few of us that it was your constant whining and finagling that convinced them sex slaves needed to know we had some hope of life after we got older and the sex calmed down."
"I don't think I was the sole influence," I said, "but I did point out that none of us were getting younger and no woman with half a brain could help being worried about where she'd be when she wasn't fit to be much of a sex worker anymore. I think I helped them to agree it makes more sense to move women outside the resort before they had no hope of setting up a situation for themselves. How do they expect women to be good in bed if they thought they'd die without friends or family in some cut-rate nursing home in Central Asia?
"If you want to convince the Tolskies of anything you have to show them how it's in their best interest. They are willing to help other people if they can profit from doing so. Unfortunately, the Tolskies and their pals might not be in control forever. If that happens, I don't know where we will be."
We finally got around to the subject of the other women. Sarah said she thought all of the candidate women were perfect. "Helen Clark is tough and smart and a confirmed masochist nymphomaniac, although she may not know it. The others are all shameless gold diggers and social climbers as well as being masochistic nymphomaniacs. Peggy Baxterdale is a complete fraud.
They all like sex rough and in quantity. They have all learned to please themselves while pleas-ing rich men. They also like sex with a lot of people in addition to the old men they are married to. That has brought them to their current predicament because they all signed pre-nuptial agreements that leave them with pretty much nothing in case of a divorce. All of them, that is, except Helen Clark, who, it is rumored, has even worse problems stemming from her philandering husband, Phil Clark."
I had done a lot of job interviews for the law firm before my time got so pricey that the firm did not want to waste it on interviewing potential associates, but never had I done an interview like these.
I gave pretty much the same introductory speech to all four. It was an elaboration of what I said on the wooden pony during the movie. All of the women except Helen Clark acted as though the cautions didn't apply to them. The three basically said that this whole thing was to set up Helen Clark who everyone hated. I assured them that Helen Clark becoming the slave was by no means assured and they had better take seriously the chance of becoming a BDSM sex slave before they agreed to participate.
I started with Juliette Pines. Like Brigit Palsgraf and Peggy Sue Baxterdale, she was in her late 20s and was a very sexy woman. Juliette is Ukrainian. We might have spoken in Russian but settled on English which she spoke with a strong accent but very understandably.
Juliette in some ways resembled Irina Orsinov; raven black hair, brilliant blue eyes, and a lot more curves than the usual model. She even had a piece of Irina's intense look at the world, as though she knew the world is a hard place and one must never let down one's guard. I doubt, though, that Juliette had quite as bad a childhood as Irina is said to have had.
"You are very beautiful. You could just find another rich guy and be more careful about signing contracts next time," I suggested. "Maybe one of your younger lovers would marry you and you could be happy if less wealthy?"
"That all seems like a lot of work and potentially boring when I have been promised a million dollars for standing on stage in various stages of undress at a private event for a few hours," Juliette replied. "I've stood around nude a number of times for a lot less money."
"You could lose," I said.
"No, Helen Clark is going to lose. If she does not lose, both Brigit and Peggy Sue are more likely to lose than me. People know I grew up poor and came here as an immigrant."
"I don't think being a poor immigrant gets you sympathy in 2016. Anyway, I am not going to recommend that anyone be allowed to participate who would not make a good BDSM slave if she loses." I added, "Do you enjoy very rough sex?"
Juliette said that, in the unlikely event she was chosen, she would do fine. "Maybe it was caused by the radioactivity from Chernobyl but I think I am about as insane as you are. I was intensely excited by the movie if that's part of what you want to know. I really liked the last part. I could not sleep after watching the movie until I got Robert to do some of the things to me that were done to you."
I did not know who Robert was but I knew her husband's name was Hartwick.
I went on, "You may think you know about BDSM as done by loving couples with the submissive having perfect trust in the dominant partner. I have experienced some of that myself, but mainly I have experienced being submissive to a foreign corporation with about a billion dollars per year revenue that only loves the bottom line. The only safe word is that one can signal Slave Security that you are in danger of suffering permanent damage. Slave Security may or may not agree with you and do something. The only thing you can trust is that the corporation is going to do everything it can to protect you from permanent damage because it does not want its' property damaged. More importantly, it wants to make sure that every woman who participates, every slave, and every slave sponsor knows that the women will be protected because if they lose that trust they won't have future participants, the slaves will stop providing the level of service that customers seek, and at least some of the sponsors will make serious trouble."
"Has any slave been hurt?" Juliette asked.
