zBE HEARD.

Ainsley: I do try. And, thankfully, I've not had much on the lines of complaints, across the last decade, so I do think that's promising.

Ainsley: You're both such superb teachers. And I like to think of myself as an excellent student! Combining the two seems like a mutually advantageous situation, to be sure.

Ainsley: I'm certainly going to consider myself quite lucky, that you hold me in such high regard!

[...]

Ainsley: Thank you. Really. I'm- I just never expected to find myself- no- to /put/ myself in this position.

Ainsley: Yes, I suppose so. I appreciate you, all the same, though.

Ainsley: Tomorrow, maybe? You can tell me about your new role too. I'm very excited to hear about your pre-Broadway journey!

Rachel: I believe you! And I look forward to someday experiencing her for myself and submitting my full review.

Rachel: I'll be the first to admit I'm nowhere near Malia's level when it comes to online communication (and perhaps communication in general) but maybe you have a point. There's something to the idea of combining our strengths.

Rachel: You should be. Not many people were ever this close to me, you know?

[...]

Rachel: I don't think anyone expects to put themselves in any kind of situation like this. I guess it's a matter of strength to get out.

Rachel: Please, it's the very least I can do.

Malia: aw, c'mon, i give you all my secrets and i get nothin'? not fair~

Malia: umm yeah, i dunno how to like..help, really? but i wanna do somethin'. i really care 'bout her.

Rachel: If your secrets are good enough, maybe I might be persuaded into reciprocity.

I hadn’t heard, but to be honest, I’m not even a little bit surprised, Rachel. You’re amazing! And it’s really too bad that people seem to doubt your ability to perform in such a role, sheerly based on your mark. That said, I’ve no doubt it will make proving them wrong all the more satisfying. 

You only didn’t hear it because I thought twice about calling you and screaming the news. But thank you! I’m very excited, I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m really capable of. And I couldn’t have said it better myself! I’m not gonna say that dealing with hate tweets isn’t annoying at best, but it’s a challenge I’m willing to face. If I must be the face of my mark against online bigotry, so be it.

Furthermore, I want to say that I won’t let all the online hate I’ve seen throughout the day get to me in any way. Yes, I am a Switch playing the role of a Dominant, and while it may be controversial, this is 2020, and it’s about time you’ve dealt with your own bigotry. Rachel Woods 🌟 is here to stay.

Ainsley: You think? I know that- if nothing else- I'm at the very least an acceptable Domme. The rest, however, remains to be seen. Maybe we can explore that option more, later down the line?

Ainsley: I think thats perfect! That or (🌟) because it has the lines coming off it, indicating that it's especially bright!

Ainsley: As am I! We should definitely talk more about it tonight! I'm very excited to learn about your the various facets and nuances of the one and only Rachel Woods!

[...]

Ainsley: Would that be okay? I just- It's kind of serious, but I think it's important that you know.

Ainsley: When are you available next?

Ainsley: I'm going to try. I have a few more things to sort out, first, but I- I'm going to try and be honest, once I have my affairs in order.

Rachel: Something tells me you're a lot better than 'acceptable'. And yes, please, I would love that.

Rachel: See?!?! You're fluent in emoji already! I do like that a lot.

Rachel: Of course! I'm very excited to indulge you. Rachel Woods is an open book, especially for the people she likes the most. You can learn anything you want about me.

[...]

Rachel: I'm free whenever you want to meet, I can make myself available to help a friend.

Rachel: And you can be honest with me, I promise. This is why we started to talk in the first place, right? For you to be open with someone? That hasn't changed for me.

Malia: 'course it is. ya never gotta doubt the sanctity of a promise from me 😘

Malia: i dunno, miss, if that's what you believe then you must not know the kinda impact you have on me

Malia: uhhhh loosely

Malia: she told me she's on street v. like, the drug n' stuff

Rachel: That's very good to know ❤

Rachel: Maybe I don't. Maybe you should tell me more about it.

Rachel: Oh.

Malia: me? run away from you? yeet on out? never. ❤️

Malia: so what you're sayin' is that i applaud you and i get kisses in return? sounds like a fuckin' deal

Malia: umm i just wanted to know if you'd heard from ainsley or anythin'

Rachel: Is that a promise?

Rachel: Doesn't it? It's the best win-win scenario I could think of, though I admit I might be slightly on the winning side of it.

Ainsley: You don't think it makes me- I'm not sure- kind of ridiculous, I suppose? It's just, Domming as Ophelia was easier. She's cool and confident and she doesn't hesitate, if that makes sense?

Ainsley: I'm not sure, but I'll let you know. It's certainly- I'm considering my options, if that makes sense?

Ainsley: I think I'm going to need to look into more emoji options to describe you. Though I'm not sure there are any that fully exhibit how amazing you are.

UNSENT: WHISLAFHKLDSH

Ainsley: Perfect! I'll put it in my calendar right now!

Ainsley: Well I certainly can't argue with that logic- least of all when I know that's just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to you.

Ainsley: I'm not really used to.. asking for help. But just so you know, I do. Trust you, I mean.

Ainsley: I'm not sure, but possibly? If it's not too forward of me to ask of you, of course!

[...]

Ainsley: I've really made a mess of things, Rachel.

Ainsley: I've never- I don't know what to do.

Ainsley: I- I may need help.

Rachel: I can't see how it could possibly be ridiculous. If anything, it's kind of sexy. I, for one, would love to meet Ophelia in person. She sounds kind of great.

Rachel: It does, yes. And I guess there's no rush. You can make that decision whenever you're ready, just be sure it's an informed one.

Rachel: You should! I'm a big fan of emojis. I'm personally partial towards this (🤩) to describe me, but I'll let you have the freedom to choose whichever you want.

Rachel: Perfect! See you then 😘

Rachel: I couldn't have said any better myself. You might be enthralled with me right now, but despite of my diminutive size, I contain multitudes, which I'm very eager for you to learn about.

Rachel: Truthfully, neither am I, but sometimes we have to. And thank you, it means a lot to know that.

Rachel: It's not forward at all! Actually, I was kind of hoping that you would ask...

[...]

Rachel: Do you want to meet somewhere? Or just talk about it?

Rachel: Whatever it is, I'm here for you.

Malia: well -- practice does make perfect 🥰🥰🥰

Malia: should I save the applause for when you /totally/ get the part and /blow/ everyone's minds or can i applaud freely at your practice shindig?

Malia: also can i ask you a question? super casual, nbd, just like, a super chill question?

Rachel: I'm not sure if I want to try my bad lines on you. You might run a way after the first few 🤐

Rachel: You should absolutely applaud me at any moment, please and thank you. It's the best possible fuel and motivator, after kisses, of course.

Ainsley: Yes, exactly that. I- I really appreciate how much you understand. It's- I was starting to think it was just, all in my head, if that doesn't sound too ridiculous? You do? Wait, which idea do you mean?

Ainsley: No, I can understand that, I suppose. At present, I'm just- I don't know if I'm- if it's right for me. To be off Cepraxine. But.. if I change my mind, could I- would you- I mean-

Ainsley: Actually, just ignore me, I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

Ainsley: 😊 (You're so sweet, Rachel.)

Ainsley: That'd be amazing. I'd love to!! 😊 That sounds really wonderful, honestly.

Ainsley: I'm not so sure about that, but it's nice of you to say. Really, really nice, I mean. And believe you me, it's far from a challenge for me to find things to compliment about you, Rachel. You're brilliant.

Ainsley: You don't have to worry about me. I'm alright- I'm very good at taking care of myself. I'm sorry I startled you, though. It's- I'm trying to- things are a little complicated, at the moment, but hopefully I'll be able to get things taken care of soon.

UNSENT: DSALFHLKASD I can't believe how easy it is for you to make me feel so n

Ainsley: Not knowing what I'm doing is something I'm not really familiar with, if that makes sense. And that's really nice of you to say. I'm- maybe- if I decide to- would you help me? Explore my mark, I mean?

[...]

Ainsley: I think things are starting to get out of control. I'm- I don't feel like I'm in control, anymore.

Rachel: Perhaps it is in your head, but that doesn't mean it's not a more than valid way for you to get into your domme space! I don't know, I just think that having different personas is a very creative way explore Dominance and submission, especially for a Switch.

Rachel: If it's not right for you, then it isn't. But if you want help getting off of it, you can count on me.

Rachel: 🥰 (Yes, I am)

Rachel: Perfect!!! It's a date!!!

Rachel: Well, I am, and you should listen to what I have to say considering how brilliant and talented and insightful I am 😘

Rachel: I know you can take care of yourself, Ainsley, but you don't have to do it alone. If you're struggling with something and if I can help you, I want you to know that you can trust on me, that's all.

Rachel: Help you explore your mark? By scening, you mean?

[...]

Malia: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Malia: 🤔🤔🤔 as corny as that was, it also gave me 🦋🦋🦋🦋 so you'll hear nothin' but a yes from me

Malia: like i said-- you deserve it, miss.

Rachel: 🤩🤩🤩

Rachel: that's exactly what I love to hear 😏😏 (also, I'll get better with my lines, this is a first for me)

Malia: if i'm a magnet, you're a whole ass star

Malia: ya girl's never been a great test taker but I'm willin' to give your test a shot. hopefully i'll pass with flyin' colors

Malia: not gonna lie, you deserve it.

Rachel: Actually, I have been called that before. I'm thinking embracing the imagery

Rachel: well, if you're worried, I can drill you all night 😉

Malia: eh, they just like the chaos, miss. its kinda magnetic

Malia: oh? what kinda action are we talkin'?

Malia: you're gonna be amazing and i can't wait. i'm gonna bring you flowers. like, a ton of 'em. 😍 you sure, miss? i know you're kinda busy, with like, the show and switch classes n' stuff. i can wait till you got a spare moment. ( actually, i'm kinda impatient but like, you're worth the soul-crushing agony )

Rachel: You're definitely not wrong about that.

Rachel: The kind of action where I have to put everything you say to the test.

Who gives a fuck about everyone else, right? I mean, life’s meant to be lived loud. If you can’t be yourself, do that weird thing, be excited about a little bondage, what’s the point?

Well, it’s a little difficult to not care about public opinion when you’re a public performer. I kind of need the validation. But I agree with the sentiment, and I’m happy to say I live what you preach, even if it sometimes it might get awkward.

You know, I think you do. You need someone like me. Because everyone else is either too lulled by your perceived skills or too afraid to speak to you in case that tempts you into one of your senselessly long-winded rambles to actually be honest with you. And please, you’ve barely seen anything I’m capable of.

...You may have a point, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. What is your goal, anyway? Distraction? To bother me? Discourage me? Because I can tell you right now it is not going to work. Anything you throw at my direction will only make me more eager to achieve my goals.

Malia: most peeps do 😋

Malia: i can think of a few other things my ass is well prepared for 😉

Malia: hey, it was fun for me too! outta all the places i've been to in the city, a theater ain't one of 'em so it was real cool gettin' the chance to check one out. 'specially with someone like you. and of course, you don't gotta repay me or anythin'. BUT, if you're /really/ gunnin' to provide some compensation, i wouldn't say no to hangin' out again.

Rachel: I can imagine, you're very popular 😘

Rachel: You're doing the teasing thing again. I might be forced to take action.
