First attempt: Demand

Jamie stormed into reception, thankfully for him in his near naked state, the hoards of people checking in earlier had moved on and now there was just a few passengers still there hanging around the lobby looking as if they were anxiously waiting for someone.

After reaching the counter in a not so subtle manner Jamie called loudly to the young guy on the phone working the reception desk “hey you - phone boy. Hang up, we need to talk” to which the boy rolled his eyes and carried on his phone conversation.

The phone call lasted another 3 minutes during which time Jamie had to just stand there and wait awkwardly despite his several further unsuccessful attempts to get the reception boy to put down the phone and give him attention.

As soon as the phone was down Jamie breathed a loud sigh of relief and then just started babbling on with his list of complaints…

“Ugh finally, about time! Ok boy listen up now, I don’t know what kind of sick joke this is or whose idea it was but it ends now.

Firstly I want my stuff delivered to my room right now. I need my clothes and belongings - everything I packed got it.

Secondly - I booked a room with a view, a balcony, the works. You’ve shoved me in a windowless box and that just will never do for me so that brings me to…

Thirdly - get me off this boat. There’s been some kind of mix up, I wasn’t meant to be on this cruise, the cruise I booked was totally different and didn’t say anything about it being a queerest or whatever this is so refund my ticket and get me off this boat right now, got it??”

Having laid out his demands, Jamie was sure he would get his way - after all he was used to things going his way, he’s a straight white guy after all. But what he wasn’t ready for was the reception boy to burst out laughing in response.

“Oh my god, that was real good - you sounded so convincing, you almost had me, I almost bought the whole this is a mistake thing - but it’s right here in your file, you left a note saying you get anxious about letting yourself be submissive and always think of some excuse to back out at the last minute, you even wrote that you booked this cruise so you had no way to escape - though this was a really good attempt, don’t worry though we get people like you all the time, although I’ll admit not many that go this far, but nevertheless we’re going to help you experience life as a helpless little sub for the next few weeks and by the end you’ll be begging for more. Ok now go back to your room and get in uniform before I have to call the head master to discipline you - and trust me you don’t want that on day 1” responded the reception boy cheerily, half in a tone that sounded like it has seen the brink of **** and is sharing warnings from beyond with you.
