What could I tell her to do that would really test the limits of this game? If it was a kinky sexual thing, then anything I asked her to do would just play into that. She'd_ want _that. Not that I would mind testing that out, but for now...
“Wait here,” I said, and got something from my room. It took a few minutes to find it, since I hadn't used it in years. I tested it out a few times to make sure it still worked. When I came back, Inez was waiting just where I'd left her. I handed her a large dagger with a long handle
“Put your hand flat on the table, palm down” I commanded. She did so, but couldn't control her fearful shaking. “No,” she groaned.
“Don't make a sound,” I told her. She went silent. “Now take the knife and drive it through your hand and into the table.” Her lips mouthed the words “No” and “please” over and over again, still not making a sound (since I had commanded her not to). But she nonetheless raised the knife.
“Now!” I said sharply.
She did it. And since I'm not a total bastard, I had given her a prop knife, one whose blade would retract into the handle. It was part of a Halloween costume years ago. I couldn't make out whether Inez was relieved, scared, angry, or some combination of all of those. But I believe she honestly thought she was going to stab herself. “Stop,” I said, because apparently my order hadn't yet been fulfilled, so she continued to try to get the knife through her hand. I had to remember that for the future. Words matter.
Now, how else could I test her?
