Some well deserved respite

What a rush. I can’t believe what just happened.

I close the door to my room behind me and fall face first on the bed.

After I helped Jenny sate her needs, we scurried to get the dean’s office cleaned up.

Luckily, there was a supply closet in the corridor. With the help of a floorcloth and some air freshener, we managed to hide any lingering incriminating hints of our fingering ingress.

As we were tidying everything up, I slowly realised something, something that made the chore seem a lot more palatable.

I hadn’t earned any BS for what we just did.

It might come as a surprise that I felt good about that. After all, more BS is always better. But think about it this way: any sexual experience influenced by the app gives BS, and this was the most sexual experience I’d had since getting the app. So why didn’t I get any?

Because she wasn’t doing it under the influence of the app.

She did it because she wanted to. Independently of any brainwashing.

Of course, her arousal was the result of the app’s influence, that much is indubitably true, but her decision to have me finger her into a dreamy mess?

That was all her.

She wanted me.

And while I was left yearning for a bit more after that experience, knowing she was actually into me perked me right back up.

Does that mean I would’ve had a chance at getting her if I never had the app? It definitely brought us closer together, but it’s hard to say how much it helped.

I have been wondering though... If she wasn’t acting under the influence of the app, why was she so adamant that I only use my hands? When it was happening, I thought it was because of the new rule. After all, the only specific things we made acceptable were hand related: groping, spanking, undressing, etc.

But if her decision to do this with me wasn’t influenced by the app, then why was she so specific? Maybe it’s just something she’s into, or it was simply a boundary she wasn’t ready to cross yet...

Unless...

Oh, the clever girl.

What if she put that boundary specifically so I’d be a bit unsatisfied? Specifically so I’d want more?

Just think about it, if I wanted more, what would my next course of action be?

That’s right: fucking her brain up until she lets me.

Just as she's been wanting me to ever since I picked her Path.

She manipulated me, pulled my strings, played me like a fiddle.

God, I’m so proud of her.

Game recognise game.

Oh and don’t think I’m going to be holding back just to prove her wrong. I’m going to go to town on that pretty little mind. If anything, this just made me want her even more. You want me to use your brain as clay to be shaped into anything that may strike my fancy? Well don’t mind if I do.

But first, I need some relief of my own.

There we go. After all of today’s excitement, I really needed this. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. And from my balls.

Alright, I should probably check the app. I was pretty close to levelling up, and I want to see what the exact phrasing of the new rule is.

XP +2! Level up!

Cash +2! Total: 10.

Cash +5! Total: 15.

New Path unlocked for Ellen DeJong!

After dismissing the notifications, a pop-up window appears:

New level tip: Spreading a belief

Once a group belief has been implanted into a Target, it will start spreading out in a viral-like pattern, with the User and the Target as patients zero. Time to spread to any given person varies depending on their proximity to an already infected person, their natural resistance, and the nature of the belief. The User and the initial Target will always have a higher infectivity rate than anyone else. As a result, proximity to them specifically greatly increases the speed of the spread.

Hm, that seems to line up with what I’d guessed so far, but it does clear up a few uncertain areas. The viral aspect explains why the belief picked up speed as it was spreading before plateauing as it struggled to find the last few holdouts, a common pattern in epidemics. It also clarifies that it’s proximity to me or the person I convinced --- not proximity to my phone --- that speeds up the spread. I had thought of an experiment where I would hide my phone in a vent in a classroom before going to the other side of the campus, to see how it would influence the spread, but I’m glad that won’t be necessary, as I wouldn’t have felt comfortable leaving it unsupervised..

I wonder if I’ll be getting new tips like this after every level up.

I close the window and am greeted by the app’s Profiles section. I notice two red dots vying for my attention, one next to Ellen’s name and one on the Perks tab at the bottom. I click on Ellen first. Her personal info hasn’t changed, but the beliefs section is quite different.

Beliefs:

• As long as the User remains employed at her school, she will not worry about the Computer Science class
• It is good, natural and important for all school staff to sexually harass the students as well as lower ranking staff. Doing so is fitting as both a punishment and a reward depending on how it is applied. It bolsters discipline and obedience. Everyone enjoys being on both the giving and receiving end of such behaviour. (Updated belief)

Wait, I never specified anything about lower ranking staff. It does seem like a fitting conclusion to reach for someone with Ellen’s worldview, however. Does that mean that Beliefs are also influenced by the people I convince and not just the arguments I make? It’s a bit tricky how the app can be sometimes very literal and sometimes quite liberal in its understanding of my points. It can be worked around, but it definitely adds an element of uncertainty.

I’m a bit relieved that the new belief simply updated the old one rather than existing alongside it. That implies that the app solves contradictions between beliefs by giving priority to whichever is newer, which means I means I can always fix things if I fuck up.

Underneath the beliefs, a new section has appeared.

New path unlocked, Rules Police.

Please select one of the following options:

1. Do as I say. The target will see it as her duty to enforce the user’s rules unquestioningly, even rules that the user put into place by convincing someone else than the target. She will seek out anyone whom she sees as not sufficiently abiding by the rules and will use any methods she deems effective in changing that. She will eventually find the sexual domination of the people she’s trying to convince to be her favourite method. Her natural infectivity will also increase, as she will both be infected by and transmit new beliefs much quicker than she would have otherwise. However, as the enforcer, she will see herself as above the rules and will not deem it necessary to follow them herself (whether they be rules made by the user or pre-existing ones such as laws and school regulations), unless she was directly convinced by the user. Since the user is the source of the rules, she will also see him as above them and will not attempt to dominate him, instead seeing him as an equal.

2. Leading by example. The target will come to the conclusion that the best way to make sure everyone follows the user’s rules is to show them how it’s done. As such, she will see it as one of her major responsibilities to apply the rules as publicly and as intensely as possible, even those that the user put in place by convincing someone else than the target. Making sure anyone who may be concerned by the rules gets a good look. She will eventually get sexual stimulation out of these public displays, and may come to still put them on, even when there is no new rule to spread. This path may be slightly less effective at making others follow the rules quickly, but it will take them much further in exchange.

Phew, that is a lot. So, if I’m understanding this correctly, I can either turn her into a controlling domme towards the rest of the staff, or into an exhibitionist who will spend her days sexually harassing students and staff as strongly and as publicly as she can, and will do similar things for any rules I may implement later down the line?

Both sound useful, and hot in their own way. I wouldn’t mind seeing Ellen in a dominatrix outfit whipping the rest of the staff into appropriately lecherous perverts.

I would say path A would technically be more directly useful to my purposes, but it also sounds a bit more dangerous, as that thing about not respecting the law could backfire. If I pick it, I’ll probably have to eventually get some more leverage over her.

This is a really tough pick, so I’ll come back to it later. Let’s take a look at that Perks section for now.

Congratulations! You have reached level 2!

Max BS+10. Total: 110.

+10 BS. 35 remaining.

New Perk unlocked! Please select one of the following options:

1. The Price is Right. User will gain an intuitive ability to estimate the BS cost of arguments beforehand. This estimate will not be exactly accurate, as external conditions and the quality of the user’s arguments may influence the final price.
2. A Clique in just a Click. User will be able to create custom social groups that may contain anyone within the geographical limit of the app. The user will be able to spread beliefs through their custom groups as they would through pre-existing ones.

Those... would be very useful. The social group option strikes me as particularly exciting, as it would allow me to more easily fine tune how I want people to act in the school, but the pricing option, while admittedly more boring, would’ve helped me so much in getting Ellen on my side. I could’ve probably acted two days earlier if I’d known how much it was going to cost me.

Alright, I need to think this through.
