Headline Nudes

Dawn's 'Nude Headlines' turned out not to be news at all, but instead a series of seemingly unverifiable attacks on the US and other global governments, as well as the establishment in general, making sweeping statements regarding their perceived long term failings and repeated acts of self interest without citing any specific examples. It sounded more like the kind of generalised opinions Kayleigh held than anything Joey would have expected from Dawn. Kayleigh was an idealist who had always craved change, whereas Dawn took a more balanced and pragmatic view of politics, and always backed up whatever she said with proven facts. That simply wasn't happening here. Seeing these words coming out of her mouth would have felt wrong even if she wasn't naked.

"So what's the plan here?" Joey wondered out loud "This just sounds like when Kayleigh goes off on one of her rants. I'm not saying I don't have sympathy with some of it, but I'm not hearing any kind of solution."

"They're starting slow. They only have an audience of twenty million. They need a lot more than that before they can shoot their shot" Charlie explained "For now they're just sowing dissent while they lure people in with the hot naked chicks and the mind control shenanigans. That's good though, it means we have time to get ahead of the worst of this. Maybe.."

"What do you mean shoot their shot?" Joey wondered.

"There is going to be a point where they attempt to overthrow the government and tell us who our next great leader is going to be. They must feel that with enough brainwashed people behind them they can do it."

"So the great leader isn't going to be Kayleigh?"

"Fuck no" Charlie laughed "I'm sure she was only ever supposed to be a very pretty pawn in all of this. But you've supercharged her importance to them now you've given her your power."

"So who is it going to be?"

"I don't know. That kind of information was always way above my pay grade"

As Dawn continued her nude broadcast, Joey wondered when he might get to see her again, and if she would even be the same person if he did. His former work partner had also become a close and trusted friend in the relatively short time they had known each other and, on a more shallow note, he had really enjoyed fucking her. All this particular section of the show was doing for Joey was reminding him exactly what he had lost access to.

"Do you think if I said something to Dawn like "Don't believe anything Kayleigh says" that would undo Kayleigh's power over her, or would her original bullshit hold?"

"That's a great question, though not one I have an answer to since it's not been tested" Charlie replied "It can't hurt to try if we're able to get to her. Though don't say or imply Kayleigh always lies."

"Why not?"

"Because then she could almost use her power in reverse. "Dawn you totally shouldn't strip off on TV" and poor Dawn will think that means she should."

"Oh fuck"

Joey was starting to realise just how complicated all of this was.

"That's half the problem of giving anyone the power you have" Charlie continued "If you aren't careful then it can almost become like one of those fairy tales where someone fucks up the wording to a wish."

As Dawn's segment ended the camera cut back to a still clothed Kayleigh, then panned out to reveal a fully naked Liv sitting opposite her.

"So Liv is just naked from the moment they send her out?" Joey shook his head "They even let Dawn start with a robe"

"To be fair I've never known anyone who enjoys being seen in the buff as much as your girlfriend, even when she isn't being mind controlled" Charlie shrugged as Kayleigh introduced her next guest in a most unexpected way.

"Today I'm joined by our regular guest Doctor Olivia Adams, who is not only of the most desirable women on the planet but an esteemed sexology academic"

"They're calling her a sexologist?" Joey blurted out in a mixture of amusement and bemusement "She's amazing in bed but that's a bit of a stretch."

"Now, I want you all to remember that Olivia is a leading sex expert and scientist and that everything she says in this interview is established medical fact and beyond dispute." Kayleigh claimed.

"Is it wrong that I'm starting to find some of this quite funny?" Charlie giggled.

"What I want to know is how come Kayleigh is still fully dressed,"

"They're probably drip feeding the hotness to keep people watching. Or maybe it's because so many guys get turned on by the whole clothed female naked female thing"

"Really? That's a kink?"

"Sure, a pretty common one. Remember when I was clothed and Liv was naked in the early days of us all living together? Didn't you think that was hot?"

"Yeah, but I would have found it even hotter if you were naked too"

"Okay, well then I guess naked female naked female is more your style" Charlie quipped "Anyway, pipe down I'm trying to concentrate on the subtitles."

"Now you're going to talk to us about some groundbreaking research you've undertaken on female sexual desire, correct, Olivia?" the text beneath Kayleigh read as she spoke.

"That's right Kayleigh. I've been looking into exactly which specific male behaviours make girls like us go wild for them."

"That's fascinating, Dr Adams. So what are your findings?"

"Overthrowing the government is sexy" Charlie predicted.

"Well, us females find it so hot when guys ignore authority and stop just doing what their government tells them. We like it when they embrace change and new ideas and ideologies" she started gently stroking her pussy "Oh man, just thinking about it makes me so horny."

"What the fuck have they done with Liv?" Joey groaned "At least Dawn was just naked. This is literally porn!"

They watched on as Professor Liv continued to outline her apparently watertight thesis in an increasingly enthusiastic manner.

"Charlie, my girlfriend is masturbating on TV!"

"I know Joey, I'm looking at the exact same screen you are"

"What is even the point of this section?"

"Every straight guy going will tune in to watch a naked Olivia Adams masturbating on TV. And then they'll all hear what she says and assume they'll get laid if they do the exact kind of thing the people running this show want them to do."

"And what happens when it doesn't work?"

"Well, they'll still believe it so they'll keep trying until it does. And any female watching the show will now also think that kind of behaviour from guys makes them horny so, effectively, it will do."

"Damn this is a headfuck"

By this point Kayleigh was wrapping up the Liv section and ready to bring on the guest of honour.

"And now, in an incredible coup for this show, I am about to welcome one of the very few politicians you can actually trust, the Vice President of our great nation and someone I am immensely proud to be able to call a close and personal friend of mine, Clarissa Clayton. She has a few very important and very true words to say to you all. And, if you were in any doubt that the most fundamental rules of this show - that everyone on here speaks nothing but the truth and wears nothing at all, however important they are, then doubt it no more. What you are about to witness, ladies and gentlemen, is both television and political history."

The feed switched directly to Clarissa.

It wasn't clear if she was doing this from her actual White House office or if they had mocked up part of the studio like she was, presumably to give what was about to happen even more impact. Clarissa looked, as she always did, an alluring combination of poise, power and beauty. The gravitas she naturally carried with every word she spoke was immediately apparent. The very notion this woman was about to strip naked for anyone who wanted to watch was almost inconceivable.

"Lucky we have a sexy VP for once, huh?" Charlie noted.

"Yeah, most years this would have been a horror show" Joey agreed.

They then fell silent as one of the most influential people on the planet began to speak.

"Thank you Kayleigh. I am extremely proud to have been invited to talk to you all on the very first edition of this critically important and politically game changing show. I subscribe entirely to the ethos of the programme. It's high time politicians like myself stopped hiding behind fancy words and expensive tailored clothes and gave you the naked truth"

With that, she began unbuttoning her top. Joey already had the guiltiest boner of his life from the anticipation alone, made worse by the fact he had inadvertently set this all in motion by trying to perform a good deed for a friend. He couldn't reasonably have predicted it could ever come to this, though.

"Politics as we know it isn't working for the majority of the people. We have to do something different, and it has to be radical. We all have to learn to step outside of our comfort zone."

Why did this affront to democracy have to be so hot? It wasn't just the taboo nature of someone who definitely shouldn't be getting naked doing so, but the very idea of a hot but imposing authority figure erotically objectifying herself seemed to set something off in Joey's sexual psyche. This was like if Miss Simmons. the one pretty teacher he used to have at school, had got naked in front of the class. That was a scenario he had masturbated over many a time but , unlike this, it obviously never happened.

"A lot of you will be asking yourself, why is she doing this? Why is the Vice President of the United States of America exposing herself in such a way? Well, I'll tell you."

She was down to her underwear now. It felt like a line had already been crossed that there was no going back from, and still she continued.

"I think this is the perfect way to demonstrate my commitment to the Naked Truth movement and everything it represents and stands for. To put my money where my mouth is, so to speak."

She had been unhooking her bra as she continued to address her audience. The Vice President was now topless on TV.

"Am I uncomfortable doing this?" she asked as she played with the hem of her panties as if this were a literal strip tease act on a webcam "Absolutely! But this is me stepping out of my comfort zone."

She then dropped her panties to the floor and. symbolically, stepped our of them and closer to the camera.

"I hope this inspires all of you watching to open your minds and your hearts to doing things differently, to breaking with convention. I stand here in front of you, naked and speaking the truth. You need to keep watching this show over the coming days, weeks and months and make sure everyone you care about does the same. Our future depends on it"

The camera cut back to a still very much clothed Kayleigh, who seemed ready to wind down a highly eventful debut episode.

"Thank you so much to the Vice President of America for those incredibly powerful words. I hope you all enjoyed the first edition of Naked Truth and that now you'll believe me when I say that every one of us here is willing to get naked to get to the bare facts. You even saw me go nude myself for the interview with Dr Adams"

"What? When?" Joey shouted at the screen "Did we miss a bit?"

"She's such a sneaky little bitch" Charlie sighed "She never had any intention of going nude. People will think she did, but there will be no footage anywhere because it didn't happen. So even when I was supposed to be brainwashing her she was already in on this."

"What do you mean?"

"I got instructions to use the same recording I used on Dawn to basically get Kayleigh to strip on screen. I played it to her but obviously it didn't take."

"How come? It's not like she's immune to my voice"

"She probably had earbuds in under that long hair of hers. She was fiddling with her phone and most likely just switched on some white noise when the moment came. The point is she was tipped off by my people at the same time they were misleading me. That means they were planning to cut me loose. And yes, that is a euphemism in my line of work."

"But you're safe now, right?" Joey wanted to know.

"Yeah, now they've got the golden bullshit girl they won't have to worry about me having too much influence over you anymore, or about us going rogue together. As far as they're concerned I'm something even worse than dead. I'm irrelevant. But that doesn't mean we can't still fuck them over."

"But how?"

"We can start figuring that out tomorrow" Charlie walked over and threw her arms around Joey's neck "I've just driven for eleven hours then sat through that total shitshow. Let's chill out for the rest of the evening, huh?"

"You know, this is kind of what I always dreamed about" Joey began to smile.

"What? Living in a cabin in the wilderness? I didn't have you down as the outdoorsy type."

"Being alone with you" Joey clarified "Just us. No bugs. No cameras."

"No clothes" Charlie added with a wink.

"Yeah, I hadn't really considered that, but it's a definite bonus. So, in a weird way, I've ended up with exactly what I wanted all along. And the naked version of it at that."

"And all it's taken is the potential collapse of Western democracy" Charlie quipped "But yeah, I kinda like this as well. C'mon, lets go check out the shower together."
