Request Denied

Some things about working in a pseudo-Irish pub weren't so great. Sure, the patrons tipped a lot, but the operator of the place kept skimping on the cost of entertainment. Meaning that a couple of the waitresses kept having to sing instead. One of them was Hannah here.

After fifteen straight nights of having the same song requested, she'd had enough. Going against her training and the boss' stubborn glare, she'd refused to do it again. She'd gotten booed off stage, but that wasn't the worst part. One of the other girls, Mina, had seized the opportunity to do the song instead... after securing Hannah to a chair, and taping her mouth shut.

So not only was Hannah tied and gagged, but she had to listen to that song again! And her tips for the night were surely gone since she could only struggle in the chair and mmph. Maybe one more round of 'A Nation Once Again' wouldn't have been so bad after all...

An uninvited guest..

As the old saying goes, "what you don't know can't hurt you". Well, Hiroko would definitely have something to say about that... if she weren't a little tied up. A few things she hadn't known led to her getting trussed up in the comfort (or maybe discomfort?) of her own home.

For starters, she hadn't known that someone would be lurking in the shadows, awaiting her return from a long day at work. That made it infinitely more surprising when she'd been grabbed from behind by a pair of entirely black-clad arms. She hadn't known that that intruder would know where to find the ropes she kept stashed for intimate, sensual encounters with the occasional weekend fling. And now she was bound by those same ropes.

What she also didn't know, as her captor was putting the finishing touches on her restraints, was that the intruder wasn't some stranger. It was, in fact, a girl she'd promised to go on a date with... some day. Well, that girl intended to make 'someday' today.. by whatever means neccessary.

Why She Doesn't Do Kids' Parties

Well, they said it was just supposed to be a 'kid's party'. Jessie had taken the contract because her catering company had been having trouble landing jobs of late. It seemed an innocent enough occasion - cake, balloons, presents, a snack bar of sorts with soft drinks. They even had a stage where someone was supposed to be performing.

Only snag was that by 'kids', they meant college girls. And their idea of entertainment had been to get Jessie up on stage to assist with an act. She'd been timid about it, but they assured her it was harmless fun... and then they proceeded to tape and strap her to a chair. As if that wasn't humiliating enough, Jessie ended up getting ball gagged by the birthday girl.

At least she got to be one of the presents, right?

In retrospect, maybe answering that online ad was a bad idea. Mina had thought that it was a little suspicious how it didn't have any real information on the photographer who'd be taking her pictures. Or what site or magazine it was for. But she'd been unemployed for months, and living in a state with such high unemployment made finding jobs so much harder. So when she'd stumbled upon this listing at Craigslist for 'Attractive Asian Model Sought for High Quality Photo Shoot', she'd jumped at it, since the pay was so high.

Unfortunately for her, the attractive redhead who answered the door at the address listed on the page had other things in mind. Mina actually thought the woman was flirting with her at first, and she'd been nice enough to hand her a drink while she explained the shoot. It would be simple, classy, and have an intimate look to it. That was right before Mina passed out.

She awoke to find she couldn't move her arms... or her legs. She tried to call for help, thinking she'd fallen and hit her head. All she got out was 'Mmmmmrmmmph!'. It was then that she realized she was tied and gagged... and at that redheaded photographer's mercy....

"Smile for the camera, Ms. Seung," the redhead grinned malevolently as she began snapping photos.

First Post Ahoy!

Well, this' obviously my first post here at The Mint-Almond Fudge Empire. For anyone who knows me already, weclome to the new home of Jenn's ramblings on the net! For newbies, the little blurbs at the top of the page and in my little bio are a good start to getting to know me.

I got a blog page here primarily after a friend of mine, who also evacuated Yahoo with the impending closure of Yahoo 360. Figured I'd have myself a little place to jot down ideas for stories or whatever, or vent, or be my geeky self, in case I need it. As for the title of the blog? That's a long story, needing a post of its own to explain everything going in to it.

What else is there to say? I do enjoy a good online DiD RP session, as that aforementioned friend knows all too well. I also do other types of roleplaying, such as tabletop (pencil and paper) games, computer/video gaming, and online (text-based, post-by-post) games. Over on Storycrafter.com, I've been writing for a year or two now, and before that did a few RPGs on Yahoo Groups (which tended to die out very fast).

Guess that's about all to put on the table for now. Hope to attract some followers (all the better for evil plots to take over/destroy the world, eh?), both old and new.

If you're still reading by this point, thanks for reading!

And as always, Hail Norton, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico!
