being Plymouth (MF+/F+) *FINISHED 20/12* *Good to see you all*

[Beaumains]

I am not sure what you are setting up here, but it seems like Chehkov's gut feelings. So far we have seen mostly unrelated shoots, and I suspect that story will somehow be tied together (literally and figuratively). Well done.

[BlissfulMisery]

Given the lack of desire to self-promote, seems Plymouth is getting a bit famous - or perhaps just full of herself

Probably going to have to bind her next time we play, just to make sure this: the recent it seems run of her binding me, doesn't become a thing. Because I'm not looking to be anyone's slave, no matter how much my traitor body wishes otherwise.

For all her love of surrender, she certainly seems to have a bit more dominance in her since the accident. Or perhaps it is merely a reaction to her... not exactly fear, but hesitation I suppose, over submitting *too* much, too far. An interesting development, even if perhaps I might be reaching a little too far to draw half-baked conclusions.

Have to echo this sentiment. In the context of Brooke's misgivings, the little private chat between Simon and Morgan at the end seems far more ominous then it normally would be.

A wild guess, but perhaps Brooke shall be finding herself having to play the hero and rescue (perhaps more figuratively, or perhaps literally) her girlfriend from her own brush with falling too deep into submission?

Well, whatever ends up happening, I am certain it will be something interesting

Famous, preferably. A reputation as a model good at her job. Definitely not trying to put her across as big headed

On the right thread here can't say/promise Brooke won't dip too far down at some point. I enjoy writing it too much to say I'll never go there again. But. Am trying to make her a couple degrees more sensible. Because, logic, post Deborah/Stephanie any sane person (and even sometime crazy Plymouth ) would surely be a tad more careful regarding not falling back into someone's dark pit.

Unrelated save for the fact of Plymouth being the centre, the story at its heart is in large part simply her living day to day. Working the woodland job and the modelling job.

I'm definitely setting something up, maybe more then one something

All will play out in time. But I will say this all, Morgan becoming Thirteen and the shoots so far, is all like a prelude to the main story idea I had.

I (think I've already said something along these lines?) needed to tell this part, to set up the next.

Thanks for commenting, next chapter below happy weekend everyone.

Ahh but fame often goes to one's head... But I understand what you mean, it was more of a (bad) joking remark.

True.

I'm definitely setting something up, maybe more then one something

Well then...

As for the chapter...

It seems the plot thickens. A nice showcase of some of the awkwardness of both being in the line of work that they are as well.

And indeed a shoot running 'overtime' is... suspicious. Why do I have the distinct feeling (cough foreshadowing cough) that this shoot is with a certain 'Simon call me Si'?

Hopefully Morgan is not getting in over her head - perhaps she shall be retracing Brooke's path in more ways then one...

[RopeBunny]

(cough foreshadowing cough)

Hard not to be too obvious sometimes. Don't want to write a mystery type story, don't want/need people to puzzle. But, don't want to come out and say it either, hints first then the reveal.

Coming soon, writing now....

[Beaumains]

Ah, yes, drama starts unfolding. We got ourselves a proper cliffhanger. This can go so many ways. It can either be Plymouth worrying about nothing, making her seem paranoid, or Morgan is in genuine trouble. Well done.

[RopeBunny]

This can go so many ways.

Well.

Some, not all of the answers but some.

Trust me on that.

Some of the answers can be found below

[RopeBunny]

The end.
?

Basically.

We break up.

Though I'm fucked if I- at first -know why?

See you're still- somehow -reading my notes

[BlissfulMisery]

See you're still- somehow -reading my notes

Well in fairness I do not think this is a case where it was hard to predict given the quite explicit foreshadowing

Although I had expected the first time to be a red herring, with things only changing a bit later. Not that there is anything wrong with doing it the way you did.

Wish someone would bind me, here and why not they could put me on sale.

How much do you suppose I'd go for?

Should I get a barcode tattoo?

This little bit is both a nice amusing aside, but I also really like how it speaks to her mental state - getting easily distracted, for she does not want to think about the thing that is bothering her.

Fetch my own lunch from the cab: sandwich, apple, drink. Not nearly enough for a hard working girl but.

Most days, these days, I seem to misplace my appetite.

Another nice detail, similar to the previous, although along different lines of course.

"I."
"You shouldn't of come Brooke."

Brooke, not B. My heart sinks, plunging deep in seconds all the hope leaving.

I feel empty.

What fucking point in coming?

And in storms the anger.

I am sure I sound like a broken record, but I really do like a lot of bits in these chapters. Have not even mentioned all of them.

Although perhaps it should be 'What was the fucking point in coming?', as the current wording reads a little off.


But overall, the situation looks quite bleak for Brooke.

If this were not a fictional story, I would assume she would simply mope about for a while, eventually get over the breakup and move on to something (or someone) else. The typical outcome.

But since this *is* a story, I predict that something might happen to throw a wrench in the works. Perhaps Morgan is not quite as happy as she seems in her new relationship - her reaction when he showed up was... concerning (instantly changing her demeanor when he was around and immediately 'siding' with him). Although one example is hardly definitive proof of anything untoward, and perhaps I am just reading way too much into it.

And even if things are going well, perhaps something will happen to Morgan that will make her reconsider.

Or maybe I am just completely off base

Either way, I suppose I shall have to wait and see.

[RopeBunny]

Although perhaps it should be 'What was the fucking point in coming?', as the current wording reads a little off.

Nope, it's supposed to read as is. The way Brooke thought it. And thoughts aren't always correctly worded.

Thanks for commenting, interesting to read your notions on what might happen, where it (Morgan and Si and Brooke) might be going.

Saying nothing of course

Fair enough - creative license it is

Of course

And you are welcome!

It's a two track railway, one for Up the other Down.

Those capitals are important by the way.

No, I don't remember why.

Another nice detail. Small things like that really liven up the text, although of course this is not the only example in this chapter.

Amused, I turn and shove him. Playful.

And, if I didn't prefer girls, and if he wasn't happily in love with Shauna, my friend too, and a fellow model.

I think Daniel and me could work.

I see she is already looking for her rebound - although that is quite a few obstacles in the way of this particular pairing

Overall quite an interesting shoot, although the surprise was unavoidably spoiled by the locale.

Even more interesting is whatever her new idea is. A few possibilities, although most of the obvious I would reject outright.

Either way, another fine addition to the tale, albeit a little transitionary. But such a thing is important - Brooke needed a little time to 'come down' after all the excitement, and showing some of that helps translate it to the reader.

[Beaumains]

You keep pumping out so many words in short a short time. Hard to keep up .

I can feel for Brooke, losing Morgan in such a bad way. But, I really like you included it. Often, in these kind of stories, such kind of hardship is not told. Sure, characters get kidnapped, have sad backstories, or have to deal with sudden surprises, but the slow process of emotional healing is rare. It gives Brooke more character than just like a bondage model (and so does the very realistic and extended description of her job). I can feel her loneliness and pain in my heart.

[RopeBunny]

Even more interesting is whatever her new idea is. A few possibilities, although most of the obvious I would reject outright.

So I'm wondering now, with the reveal posted below, what your 'obvious' possibilities were?

And @Beaumains thank you. I like to go for realism at times, telling suh plot twists as this break up, actually making it part of the story. It's enjoyable for me to write.

[BlissfulMisery]

So I'm wondering now, with the reveal posted below, what your 'obvious' possibilities were?

Various things, but generally I expected one of two major directions - either her reaching out to other models in some way (multiple possible reasons to do so, mainly collaboration), or her trying to do something to figure out what happened with Morgan.

The latter being generally not a great idea, but certainly plausible given her mental state. Also less likely, given the fact that she shared the idea with Daniel, and he would have probably counseled her against it. Hence my comment about 'reject outright'.

Having said that, was not expecting something as involved as what it ended up being. Seems the Carnival is back in town

but apparently- according to her -it was 'fun.'

Note the teasing quotation marks, that's all her.

An amusing quip by Brooke - a bit of almost fourth wall breaking, depicted as if she is telling someone the story. Not sure if that is for the better or not.

A nice exchange with Fayth too - Fayth at first being polite and then Brooke admitting she does remember. A nice 'recap' there too.

And a nice 'montage' as they get everything together. Just enough detail to be clear, without bogging the story down in details, summarizing the process of Plymouth assembling her 'all star bondage team/crew' (not literally, but it gives that sort of vibe) - the "good ship crazy train" indeed

Wonder if they will end up bumping into Morgan at some point, or if this will be its own unrelated adventure. On one hand, it would be a little convenient. On the other, Morgan *is* a bondage model, and there has been (limited) foreshadowing in that respect...

[RopeBunny]

So I'm wondering now, with the reveal posted below, what your 'obvious' possibilities were?

Various things, but generally I expected one of two major directions

So it seems you were half right, one of two a collaboration of sorts albeit a small (only six models) one.

Guess I could've worked out and written some form of Morgan stalking and information gathering, in fact an idea for such is bubbling up even as I write this.

I'm that good/fast

But. No. It didn't occur, and bringing back Carnival is fun. One of my more favourite creations.

Wonder if they will end up bumping into Morgan at some point, or if this will be its own unrelated adventure.

Obviously saying nothing, and I know you don't expect me too.

But I will say and it isn't really a spoiler, Morgan isn't one of the three 'close friends' models. Logically after all how could Morgan, a newbie, be a close friend of Fayth already?

Thanks for commenting.

[BlissfulMisery]

So it seems you were half right

To be fair, the options were somewhat exclusive with each other, and the net cast was a wide one, so not much of a 'prediction'.

Given the fact that Brooke is one of the main organizers for the whole event, I would have been quite surprised if Morgan was a part of it without her knowing (or commenting on it). I had meant 'bumping into Morgan' in the sense of her showing up at one of the showings perhaps, or otherwise encountering Brooke in some other manner. Obviously not that likely, but plausible at least, since she is a model as well.

Thanks for commenting.

As always, you are welcome.

[Beaumains]

Interesting twist of events. Normally, here you would expect that the Morgan storyline is over, we had an interlude, and now the next storyline is set up. A new adventure for Plymouth. The transition may appear quite rough, a risky business venture just after heartbreak, but I am sure you will tie it all together, somehow.
