:･ﾟ✧ daisy mae.

I realize I’m pretty late to the party, here (which, to be fair, pretty much sums up my entire life) but this is some bullshit. I’m really sorry, Daisy. I know you and I haven’t had the chance to really talk, but I want you to know I’m with you. You, and Miss Norah. Anything you need, please feel free to let me know. Help cleaning, redecorating, anything. I’m sure if anything monetarily is needed, my parents wouldn’t mind assisting a little with donations, especially since two of their children are residents and one is a volunteer. Please, let me know. 

Oh no, it’s okay, I’m usually a little behind on catching up with people anyway so I completely understand. It’s just... I don’t understand why someone would do that, you know? Why they would completely ruin what we had, we were so close to finishing it. But I’m trying not to focus on the why too much, not yet. I just want to get it back to the way it was so we can open it officially. Thank you, Miss Gigi, I really do appreciate that. We’d love to have you help out, there’s still a little bit of cleaning to do before we can go back to decorating it as we were and your help is most welcome. Oh, thank you! That’s very kind of you. Miss Norah and I have it covered though, we’ve been doing this off our own backs because we both feel so passionately about it, but your kindness won’t go unnoticed. Thank you. 

Hello everyone and happy Saturday, am I right?

As you all know at this point, I’ve come to make sure that the cheerleading team here is in top-top shape and ready to start expanding their horizons. Practice is Monday through Friday, with a warm-up run around the track to start our day and kickstart our minds and bodies at 7am. You are required to go to at least one of these a week, and as you rise up the ranks on the team you better believe you’ll totes have to show up for more of those as a requirement. It’s called building stamina and endurance! The mandatory practice is in the auditorium from 4pm to 6pm and consists of some strength training and working out hidden in between choreography and learning new moves. 

All cheerleaders, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to let me know whether you want to be a flyer (you specialize in getting thrown in the air), a base (you do the throwing), a tumbler (think gymnastics), or whether you’d like to focus on the basics first. Asking to be a base does often leave you out of choreography, but some prefer that and really do enjoy showing off the strength it takes to lift a whole person and toss them in the air like a rag doll, and then catch them properly too. I, of course, will be making sure everyone gets put where they want to be and I will use all of you to your full potential. It’s gonna be supes fun. 

I’m a little late in replying (as usual, it would seem!) but are you still looking for someone to help you with the squad? I have plenty of experience, I was a cheerleader throughout high school and college and was usually a flyer, although have experience in tumbling too. I was the cheer captain in college so I’m definitely still around if you want me to help out, Mason! 

It’s fun, it’s therapeutic, and it’s exercise all in one. I’m open to allow anyone in if they’re interested. So you’re more than welcome to stop by and give it a try if you want. I’m not one of those guys who think woman can’t throw a punch or shouldn’t be allowed to box or know how to defend herself. See, knowing how to throw a punch in a defensive matter is entirely different than throwing one offensive.

The feeling is likewise, Daisy. I look forward to seeing you in the gym!

Exactly! I just love exercise in general, and I think attending regular boxing sessions would be fun. I’m glad you’re not the kind of guy to underestimate a woman - strong women are fucking amazing, you know? Exactly! I’d love to know how to properly defend myself. 

Thank you, Wyatt! Likewise, I’m looking forward to it. It’s been far too long since I actually hit the gym.

Not here at Dalton, specifically, but I did spend time in a place like this a few years back. So it was just being back in a place like this that I was referring to. No harm done in being late, Daisy, and no apology necessary. I appreciate your greeting none the less, along with your offer to help. I did manage to find them both. My darling sister and dear brother both managed to leave their hiding spots and greeted me themselves. Otherwise I likely would have taken you up on the offer for help. Tell me though, you mentioned you were staff. What is it you’re over? If you don’t mind me asking, of course.

Oh, that makes sense! My bad, I complete misread that. How are you finding being back in a place like this, Sir, other than strange? I’m glad you managed to find your siblings though! I believe I’ve met them briefly but everything is just so busy here sometimes that I often forget to stop and actually say ‘hello’. Oh, I don’t mind you asking at all, Sir! I’m newly appointed so it’s all still falling into place, but I’m a teaching assistant here!

Let me know what she says, I’m excited for this little adventure.  Routine and structure is great.  Sometimes though…life … happens and things change.  So it’s good to maybe not get too comfortable.  I mean, this is like the first real time that I have a space, and a large one at that, all to myself, and it’s…. overwhelming.  It’s too quiet.  It’s too big.  But I guess I gotta learn to deal.

Of course! Miss Norah would never stop me from meeting up with friends, she’s a firm believer in me having my own life and interests outside of our claim and for that, I’m very thankful. It was her who pushed me into becoming a full-time member of staff here, honestly, and I love her for it. Oh, no I get that. Life has a funny way of yanking the rug from under our feet. I merely meant thatthe routine Miss Norah and I have together has been the same. It’s almost like a ritual now. I wake up first, shower, prepare out breakfast, whatever that may be, and then wake her. It’s second nature to me now. Too quiet? Have you not had a space like this before? You doing okay - anything I can do? Even if it’s just to lend an ear.

I can see that your Domme got /very/ lucky. Nice suit.

Why thank you, Sir. I like to think Miss Norah is very lucky she found someone like me. Not only are we both ridiculously hot, we seem to be a perfect match too. I can assure you though, what’s underneath is much better than the bathing suit. 

I wanted to add my two cents to Daisy’s post ( here ) regarding the women’s space being vandalised. I am both furious and heartbroken. If the culprit’s intent was to hurt the people who need that space, I hope they’re satisfied in knowing for the short term, they’ve succeeded. Rest assured, we will repair what’s been broken and the people responsible will be found, and they will be punished. This type of behaviour doesn’t come without consequences.

I would like to make it clear that no residents are to take dealing with this into their own hands – If I see any petty arguments, insults or violence being threatened to anyone suspected of involvement, I will come down on you as hard as the vandals themselves.

If there is anyone who would like to come help with the beginnings to tidying this mess, please let me know. 

They won’t get away with it, Miss Norah, I promise. We’re going to find whoever did this and they’re going to be punished. Like we said, you’ll be the one to do it. It’s your project and they... Well, you know. They won’t get away with it, Miss. I won’t let them.

Aren’t you just the sweetest? You clearly don’t know me, darlin’. It’s cool of you to say that, though. I guess I can just be a lot. Don’t get me wrong, I make no apologies for that. But, that means I’ve gotta deal with what comes with that.

Most of the time, I guess. But when someone gets on the wrong side of me, I’ve been told the ‘sweet’ side of me goes flying out of the window. I do have a pretty bad temper but it takes a lot to rile me up. Anyway.. I don’t think it matters if you’re considered ‘a lot’. Everyone’s different and personally, I like someone who is a lot more upbeat and interesting. It keeps me on my toes and I think it’s much more fun than someone who is always quiet and boring. If anyone has a problem with you just for being yourself - fuck them. They’re not worth it.

That’s alright. Most days are hard, and I suppose if I’m looking for a silver lining it’s that even my worst days now, don’t compare to my best days 6 months ago. So that’s…something. I appreciate that…Daisy, right? I do enjoy the rain. It’s calming. But, you’re right, I don’t like being in the rain. Getting my clothes wet, but still wearing them, makes me feel very anxious. But, I’m glad it makes you feel good. Any port in a storm, so-to-speak. So how…Is your day?

That’s definitely a silver lining and I’m really pleased you see it that way! Obviously I don’t want you to find things hard but it sounds like you’ve made progress. I’m not exactly a psychologist but I think that’s great! Yeah, I’m Daisy. It’s nice to meet you, Campbell. I’ve seen you around but, typically, I’ve always been rushing off somewhere and never actually had the opportunity to stop and say hello. My day has been... well, it’s been a little difficult. As I’m sure you’ve head, someone completely destroyed the progress my Domme and I made building the women’s space, so I’ve been pretty upset and angry. But more than anything, I’m more determined to get it finished, so I’ve been knee-deep in building work recently. How has your day been? Have things gotten any easier?

I’ll look forward to that, for sure.

[PRIVATE]: Both, I guess. Dunno. But what if I know I ain’t protectin’ myself, I’m protectin’…Someone else. Sometimes I just…Dunno. I feel like if I were to say that shit out loud…It would go bad. You claimed? I…I dunno. Man, that shit’s tough. I guess…I dunno. I wanna try new shit. I want like…Fuck. I want to explore shit. My ‘role’, I guess. I mean, I’m a Sub but I don’t…I dunno. I mean I cook. I help try an’ keep my…On track. But it’s not…I dunno. Fulfilling? Totally? Like they are fulfilling, but sometimes I just…I dunno. I’m tireder than I act. Maybe a little more sore, too. But that…If I said that, they’d just think they’d done somethin’ wrong. And I can’t have that. So, better me than them I guess. Sexually…I mean same shit. I just wanna explore. Shit. 

[PRIVATE]: You’re protecting someone else by not telling them what you want? Honey, you have to put yourself first, otherwise you’ll just end up tearing yourself apart. You have needs, you can’t stop them. They’re within your DNA - the same for whoever you’re protecting. They have needs too and if they’re denying them, you’re going to get ill. Both of you. I claimed, yes. I was always comfortable in my role so it was very natural, with my Domme. Within eighteen months of meeting, we made it official. 

If you want to explore your role, you have the ability to here. Dominance and submission doesn’t just have to be sexual and if you wanted to explore what it’s like to be submissive, I can have a word with my Domme, Miss Norah. I’m sure she’d help you - she’s very kind and patient, and will only do what you’re comfortable with. If it’s something you just want a little more information on my experience as a submissive, I’d be more than happy to sit and discuss it with you. I don’t know how much help I’d be, but I’d love to try. Just let me know what you want me to do, okay?

I think you and this person need to have a very blunt and honest conversation about what you want from each other. I don’t know what the obstacles are, or what you’re protecting them from, so I can’t really be any more specific in my advice. But, Vic, I do believe you’re more capable than you think. And if you want to explore sexually? Discuss it with them. If not, you are a free person. You can explore with who you want. Myself? I’m allowed to explore sexually with whoever I want, so long as I get permission from my Domme and reconfirm our limits to them. There’s no law saying you can’t explore. 

ALEX: I'm sure I can too. I do appreciate your faith in me though! I suppose. I may not /bother/ him but he's got his own life too. I don't like to potentially burden other people if I can help it.

ALEX: I'm fine with vegan options. I'm not vegan, so I do use animal products, but I don't eat much meat to begin with. Maybe you can show me a thing or two so I can expand my cooking knowledge with more vegan options in the future.

DAISY: I have /every/ faith in you, Alex! You wouldn't be a burden at all, he's a friend. And so am I! If you ever need anything, I'm here, okay?

***

Yeah? I did a little reading up on you. Your Domme is um. Norah Jones, right? I think I saw one of your projects…the one that got wrecked. You okay?

I’m…sorry, that someone did that.

That’s her. Miss Norah is very much a force to be reckoned with. Have you met her yet? Um. Yeah. Our project was the women’s space. I’m not too sure why someone did it, I don’t know whether it was an attack on us, the space itself or just a random bit of violence but.. yeah. That happened. 

I am so very nervous. I keep looking at my phone with every buzz I get. I keep having dreams about it! I just want to know!

Do you have any idea when they’ll be in contact? I know they gave you a rough timeframe but did they say anything else? Or is it just a waiting game? I feel like I’m nervous for you!

WHOEVER FUCKING DID THIS WILL FACE MY WRATH! 

Also, can I help clean up? Anything? 

They won’t get away with it, Reign, don’t worry. We could use some help cleaning up though, that’d be nice. It’s... it’s such a mess. 

…What?

Yep. Some asshole completely trashed it. I’m going to spend the next couple days tidying up just so we can try again. We will find who did this, I promise. 

Well now that I have started to unpack I figure, what the hey, time to introduce myself to this lovely community. I know you might recognize the face but don’t be fooled by it. I am not that awesome Mercedes Jones ya’ll have probably all learned to love by now. No I am her equally beautiful twin Malaya Joy and I am a Switch. Few facts about me. My nickname in High School was The Curvy Goddess, I am actually a Lawyer since prior to coming here I took the bar. I love Purple, Pink and Sunset cause its beautiful. But most of all I can’t wait to get to know you so don’t be shy drop me a line.

Malaya! Oh my god, I had no idea you were going to be here! Are you here as a resident? Are you doing okay? We should have a catch up, it’s been far too long! I need to know everything! I’ve missed you!
