The gentle dripping of a faucet can only mean that Katalina Star, dominatrix within the Horsewomen, is standing inside of a bathroom staring down into the porcelain hole. There's the sound of a roaring crowd just dulled through the layers of walls but it's unmistakably loud still. The show is on and the dominatrix is dressed to compete. But there's one thing wrong with her as she doesn't look ready.
Katalina: If I had but one regret...
...Seven years ago
Kat was ready. She was primed and packed and looked the role of a dominatrix. Fresh from her stay as a primary to another Mistress, this solo girl was ready to make it on her own. Her start would come in a apartment complex. Not exactly the luxury high rise office she had been dreaming of, but it's a start. Her client, or clients, was a small gathering of young women fresh off of their shift at one in the morning. It didn't really dawn on Kat why they would be getting off at that time...but it didn't matter. There were tons of different jobs that had their employees get off at all kinds of hours.
Eventually, the elevator reaches the desired floor as the doors open and Kat is greeted with a friendly smile. A young blond with breasts the size of melons waved toward the dominatrix.
Candi: Hi! I'm Candi. I dunno why my parents named me that. But they laughed and I laughed so it's funny.
Speaking of laughing, the bubbly blond giggled as she entered into the elevator. Kat's first thought was being thankful she wouldn't have to share the box with this one as she stepped out.
Katalina: Well, my name is Katalina. I know why my parents named me that and this is where I'm getting--
Candi: That's a funny name. I'm gonna call you...kitty! 'cause cat is like kitty but different.
There's an awkward silence that runs from Kat over toward Candi.
Katalina: Mm-hm. Well, good bye.
Candi: See ya! Let's see...
Candi hunches over toward the panel looking over the lit up numbers before her.
Candi: I wanna go to room...three...one...eight. Yep-yep!
Katalina: Wait, it doesn't--
Candi: Kitty!
The doors closed concealing Candi's excitement in seeing the dominatrix again. Kat just stood there and shrugged figuring the woman would have fun in this. Besides, it wasn't something that should have taken much of her attention. She had a room full of girls waiting. For her! Giddy, she arrives at room 318 not even thinking as she knocks on the door. It hadn't dawned on her until then over how she should behave when she was greeted. Was she to be a dominatrix the entire time? That seemed best. Set it right off the bat that she was in command here. Kat loosened herself up before straightening out her posture. Control...power. The door was swung open and a redhead looks over the dominatrix.
Redhead: Yeah? Oh, you're the...the, um...yeah. You can change in the room to the right, get ready, whatever you do. Hey, Crystal! She's here!
The woman looked back inside of the apartment and started to point outward toward Kat before heading back inside leaving the door open. Kat entered and looked around. There had been some drinking going on, still going on when she entered. One of the girls had already passed out on the couch naked. A couple of girls came in from the kitchen, one of them holding a beer bong and wearing nothing but a tank top while the other was straight down to her unmentionables. The redhead, from what Kat could see now, was at least wearing a pair of panties under her t-shirt. Still, it all made Kat feel a little over dressed.
Blond: Crystal's passed out, remember?
Redhead: Shit. Whatever. Oh,
The redhead turned toward Kat and pointed to a room in the back. Kat sighed and made her way in to get herself ready. This was definitely not how she expected her career to start. How was she going to command respect and obedience from these girls if they couldn't respect themselves?
The actual session was a nightmare for Kat. None of the girls listened to their orders, when they were whipped they laughed, when they were told to be still they were touching themselves and one another. The word “Mistress” or anything signifying respect was ever uttered. In fact, any time Kat was even noticed it was to make her feel like an object as the girls shouted more commands than her. Soon, Kat was forced to take a break as she left the by then early stage three-way and entered back inside of the bedroom. A room that had raised a brow of the dominatrix earlier and now the question was even louder. Sparkles, glitter, unicorns? Which one of them would even have a room like this? Her question would soon be answered by a rhythmic knock on the front door. The redhead raises her head from between the blonds legs and sighed as she went to answer it. On the other end was Candi who quickly smiled.
Candi: Hi, Maple, it's Candi.
The woman, Maple, sighed as she kept herself inside the doorway just looking at the spunky blond.
Candi: Um...anyway, it's getting kinda late...can I get to my room?
Maple: Yeah, um, no.
Maple closes the door and turns back to the others before the knocking picks up again. Once more in a rhythmic beat. Maple shakes her head and goes back swinging the door open much like she had done with Kat previously.
Maple: Yes?
Candi: Why can't I go in my room?
Maple: Because it's in use right now. Go away.
Candi: But where am I supposed to sleep?
She asked before Maple could close the door this time. The redhead looks around the hall and shrugs.
Maple: Out here looks good.
Blond: Just give her this, should shut it up.
The blond tosses Maple a pillow who in turn presses it against Candi's face hard enough to shove her back down on the floor. Candi manages to get the pillow away in time to call out.
Candi: What about Mr. Sparkl--
The door closes as Maple turns back and the trio laugh while Kat, who had been listening to everything growls under her breath. When it came time to resume, Kat had hold of a flogger and, after some much levels of convincing, had the three girls lined up with their rears facing toward her. She gripped the flogger tightly and reared back looking to give each one the hardest smack she could muster. To create some real damage they would never forget. Unfortunately...her lessons told her to hold back. She wasn't a part of this, after all, she was just here to entertain.
Therefore, following the light spanking and packing Kat exits the apartment taking the money stuffed into her cleavage and placing it in a pocket of her bag.
Candi: Sparkly unicorn is my friend. Sparkly unicorn friend through the end. Sparkly-sparkly, sparkly-sparkly--
Having noticed the dominatrix standing by watching her sing, Candi immediately sprung to life coming up to her knees giggling.
Candi: Hi, Kitty!
Katalina: H-hi. I think your room is free.
Candi: Silly Kitty is silly, I pay rentals for my room.
Still giggling, Candi made her way up to her feet and to the door where she again gives a rhythmic knock. The door opened quickly as a hand came out snatching the pillow. Barely a moment later the door slams shut again. Kat could hear the laughing from inside out in the hall as Candi stood staring at the door. Kat brought out a hand, maybe to comfort, but stops herself when she realized this wasn't her situation to step into. Instead, she turns and slowly started for the elevator.
Candi: Bye, Kitty.
Katalina: Bye.
Kat softly returned. If she remembered her name, she'd have said it.
Candi: Kitty-Mistress?
Kat snaps to blinking at her reflection in the mirror. The sound of the crowd quickly reminding her where she was and what she was set to do. She looks back over her shoulder and spots Candi standing there, her collar sparkling in the light with the glitter encrusted “K” insignia along the side of it. She smiles to her Mistress stepping back showcasing the leash running from the front of the collar down to the domina's hand.
Candi: I think they're waiting for you.
Katalina: No,
Kat responds turning toward her lion reaching out this time landing her hand atop of Candi's head stroking it along her hair.
Katalina: They're waiting for us, love.
August 25th 2016
Late night at the Roosevelt park in Baltimore, Holly sits alone underneath of the stars with her legs crossed in close hovering over her cellphone before holding it out and taking a picture of the night sky. She then brings the phone back in and smiles drawing back some hair to get a better view of the stars on her screen then swipes through a few. Once she’s gone through what she has, she again holds out her phone and snaps a few more pictures all without looking up from the grass. From off to the side come soft footsteps, leading Holly to turn and after a moment break into another smile. Zahara comes up to the same bench and takes a seat, leaning in to kiss Holly’s brow softly in greeting while smiling brightly herself.
Zahara: Enjoying a little quiet time, honey? I love how you’re smiling right now… you should do so more often.
Blink: I know, Miss. Zahara. I’m trying.
Holly replies before once again holding out her phone to snap another photo. Bringing it in, she holds the phone in between herself and Zoey.
Blink: It’s just tonight it’s so easy to smile. The stars are really beau-ti-ful.
Zahara: So are you.
Taking out her own phone, Zoey snapped a picture of Holly with a smile, catching the little maid with the smile still on her face before turning her phone to show her.
Zahara: Now I have something to keep close to me even while we’re apart, to remind me of my dear friend.
Hearing that, however, causes the maid to lose the smile that’s been attracting so much of the magician’s attention. Only momentarily though as she fights to bring her smile back. It’s not as warm as it was before but it’s still there.
Blink: Have I told you about what I used to do before and after matches?
Zahara: No, you haven’t.
Immediately Zoey felt sorry for saying what she did. It wasn’t meant to be a saddening comment but instead a reminder that no matter where Holly went now, Zoey would remember her and have her close. However, all it seemed to remind her of was how in a few weeks she’d be moving out. Not just that but travelling clear across the country to find her new home in Florida. Holly had spent the past few weeks trying to avoid any discussion and this moment was certainly no exception.
Blink: Before, I would climb up to the highest point I could outside of an arena just to feel the peace and quiet. I would watch everyone come in and hope they enjoy the show and then watch them leave and wonder if I performed well enough for them. But then...
Holly sighs reaching her phone out to take another picture of the stars above them. Once more, her gaze kept down to the grass.
Blink: That accident happened. I haven’t been able to climb much of anything since.
Zahara: I’m sorry to hear that, hon. But maybe you’ll climb again one day. Anything is possible.
She cants her head to the side a little, watching Holly, then finds herself staring down at the ground for a while too, speaking softly.
Zahara: You know what I still do sometimes before matches or my magic shows?
Blink: I have a-cro-pho-bi-a.
That...might explain why she takes photos of the stars instead of looking up at them like a normal person. Though her fear would have to be pretty severe for that.
Blink: So...I don’t really know.
She replies with a laugh that soon calms down to a clearing of her throat.
Blink: But what do you do, Miss. Zahara?
Zahara: Sometimes I talk to my brother for a bit.
The magician smiles faintly, tucking a strand of hair loosened by the breeze behind her ear.
Zahara: I ask him to watch me, tell him that I’m proud of him and that I haven’t forgotten our dream. I don’t do it as much anymore because I’m starting to… feel more secure, I guess? But I still do sometimes when I need to feel for sure that he’s watching.
Blink kicks out her feet and smiles a little easier now, it was right back to when Zoey first came in. That kind of smile again.
Blink: I feel the same way about my parents. I wonder if they’re still watching out for me, making certain I’m not doing anything wrong. I like to think they’re up in the stars watching me and I’d try to find them...but looking up I start to feel dizzy. It’s so high sometimes, it’s hard for me to con-cen-trate.
Zahara: I choose to believe they are. They’re right there with my brother, watching us and making sure we’re doing right by them and ourselves. Which makes us very lucky indeed. Lucky enough that I think I might try and steal a hug!
And with that, Zoey tugs Holly in and wraps her arms around her, snuggling her friend close for a moment. She aimed for just the right embrace… one that would draw a giggle out of the pink maid and make that smile a little bigger.
Blink: Thank you, Miss. Zahara. I needed that.
Holly smiles resting her head on Zahara’s shoulder still keeping her eyes glued to the stars over her phone.
Blink: Have you ever performed outdoors?
Zahara: Once or twice. It’s an interesting experience for sure.
With Holly leaning in so, Zoey wasn’t about to let go, though she did shift them so that they were more comfortable. She ran her fingers through Holly’s pink hair as they chatted.
Zahara: This would be the first time in a while, though I’m not competing at this particular show.
Blink: I know, I’m sorry.
Zahara: Don’t be. I kind of welcome it this time with things being so busy.
She responds in a low tone as she finally turns her phone off and pockets it in her apron letting out a long sigh.
Blink: I hope the fans don’t get cold.
Zahara: I doubt they will. The fresh air will be nice and the temperature is supposed to be mild.
She thought to continue with what was on her mind but Holly seemed so content right now that she didn’t want to ruin it. Instead, she helped the little maid further up onto the bench so she could cuddle in more comfortably, going back to petting her.
Zahara: Are you excited for your match?
Blink: I’m more frightened. Mistress was telling me we did so good when we had other partners...I know she wasn’t meaning that we should split apart, that we just need to find out what we can both give each other in the ring. I want to, I enjoy teaming with Mistress.
Holly snuggles deeply into Zoey’s chest.
Blink: I don’t want to have to stop.
Zahara: The nature of the business says that there’s no way to be sure when you’ll be with or against one another. It’s not the sort of thing you can control, at least not easily. The best either you or Katalina can do is make the most of every opportunity.
The magician wanted to be more reassuring than that but she wasn’t sure what to say. At the best of times Holly was a little complicated and seeing as how she was already teetering on edge with the mood coming up, Zoey really wanted to preserve her happiness. Holly only pushes herself away from Zoey, not in anger or frustration but just so the magician could see her head shaking.
Blink: That’s not true, Miss. Zahara, Lady Marie and I were a tag team for close to five years. So we just need to find what we can best do for one another and Mistress and myself can work as a team for as long as she wants.
Blink then hovers her hazels along Zoey, studying her for a moment.
Blink: I would have assumed you, of all people, would know how stubborn Mistress can be over who she’s with.
Zahara: I do. Forgive me, Holly. I’m the tiniest bit distracted and that caused me to misunderstand you. Do you think maybe you and Katalina should formally announce yourselves as a team? You might get more matches that way and have time to get better as a unit.
Blink: Mistress did, the first time we were set to face off against Miss. Kate and Miss. Jami. Although...some people may have found it a little sar-cas-tic given how I looked during that promo.
Thinking on it now, the gag, heavy chain, posture collar, cuffs...it all seemed to be so scary at the time but looking back on it, it was actually quite thrilling. Not even a year ago Holly had come out in her old company about her love for bondage and submission. Now it was becoming her life as she reaches a hand up touching the front of her collar, tracing the foam rubber “K” insignia with her pinky. That still having replaced her metal one out of fear in what she might do. It was the last match with Jami and Kate that resulted in Holly’s suicidal behaviour. Since then she’s proven to be better but Kat still isn’t going to give her back anything until she proves she’s over it. No matter how long it takes. But then, they’ve always just been the flash and flare of her outfits, so long as Holly is wearing her “K” or just the collar itself, she’s satisfied. Though seeing Zoey staring back at her prompts a healthy glow to the maids’ cheeks as she quickly comes up to her feet and bows.
Blink: I-I’m sorry! I got dis-trac-ted myself, Miss. Zahara. I...I think I really should be going to be honest.
Her fingers were flexing almost uncontrollably and there was a tinge of excitement in her eyes. There was something she needed and knew where to get it.
Zahara: That’s quite all right, honey. I’m just glad that you’re smiling and…
Regarding the maid for a moment, Zoey’s smile grows a bit.
Zahara: ...that you seem to have a plan in mind. I’ll see you soon, then.
Holly’s smile brightens more than all times combined now as she gives another bow and rushes down from the bleachers. Though she stops and pulls her cellpone from her apron and feverishly begins to write something up. Within moments, Zoey’s own phone begins to vibrate. She checks and sees a text message from Holly reading:
“Webcam Whores. SubPinkMutt”
Blink: Ariel and I will be on in a half hour!
She calls out before rushing away. Soon, another text message to Zoey from Blink;
“Sorry for yelling.” Zoey can’t help but giggle...
August 27th, 2016
The interview zone for Zelda Lawson has been set up. The interviewer waits in her seat, legs crossed and pen tapping patiently along her notepad when she hears the gentle rustling of chains from the short distance. Looking over, she notices the dominatrix Katalina, or Strife to those business few, leading both Candi and Blink along on separate leashes. Candi crawls along the floor by her Mistress' feet while Blink takes the two steps behind approach all the way to their seats.
Katalina: Sit.
She orders as Candi drops her rear to the floor sitting herself up like a canine while Holly turns into her chair sitting daintily with her hands on her knees, which are pressed together. Keeping a firm hold over both leashes, Katalina takes her seat as the shackled “lion” brings up a hand and waves it to Zelda.
Candi: Hi, Word Lady!
Kat strokes the side of Candi's head only just hard enough to rest it alongside her thigh. Candi also brings her arms around Kat's leg hugging it with the shackles being long enough for such a thing. Kat...has learned, the hard way, that Candi is a hugger no matter what the circumstances.
Zelda: Hello to you as well, little lion. Katalina, pleasure we can do this again.
Kat responds with a nod while bringing up the leashes so they don't just dangle and create a distracting noise. Zelda uses this as a chance to glance over at the maid sending her a playful wink.
Zelda: Su-Su. About time you got your butt in that seat.
Blushing to have her cheeks match the colour of her hair, Blink opens her mouth to speak but Zelda's hand, and the noise of her own dangly set of bracelets stops Holly dead in her tracks.
Zelda: No apologies during this interview. Okay?
Holly nods her head as Zelda uncrosses her leg nearly, or just about, stroking her toes along the maids leg on her way to crossing the other leg.
Zelda: So, let's jump into things. Shall we?
Katalina: Let's.
Blink opens her mouth to speak as well but is still in a state of shock from the gentle touch she got earlier. Therefore, her lips seal up and she nods her head prompting a little giggle from the interviewer.
Zelda: First off, and we'll get to present situations soon, what was the deal with the last time you were both set on facing Casa De Kami? That was kind of...rough. Even by your standards.
Katalina: Understandable reaction,
The domina begins keeping her hand firmly stroking through her lion's hair.
Katalina: Was I brutal? Yes. Was I honest? Indeed. There are so many problems Jami tends to present herself with, air out as it were, I was merely just filling everyone in.
Zelda: Yeah, but you don't think you went a little too far?
Katalina: No.
Kat's rapid fire answer comes as a surprise to Zelda who stares across the room toward her.
Zelda: N...no?
Katalina: As I said I spoke the truth and sometimes the truth needs to be bluntly thrown out in front of a person in order to accept it. Jami's initial reaction was to run from it.
Zelda: So will you be producing more...truth here tonight?
Zelda has a little trouble using the word herself, but if it keeps things rolling along.
Katalina: No.
Zelda: That's good. Especially given how Kate was saying--
Katalina: I know what Kate was saying.
Kat's sudden interruption draws enough tension one could believe Zelda was now Luke in Jabba's palace. Oh lord, just compared Kat to Jabba. Well, at least Holly or Candi can be Leia, right?
Katalina: What she said only proves my point forward that Jami only lives by her emotions. She declares to want peace but how exactly do you think I figured all of that out?
Zelda has no answer. Zelda doesn't want to answer.
Katalina: So there is nothing more that needs to be said. The truth about Jami came out and Kate is the enabler for shielding her friend from it.
Zelda swallows dryly and looks down at her notes where there was still a page of questions directed toward Kat individually. She just flips that and smiles to Blink.
Zelda: Alright, Su-Su, the last time you four were in the ring you took the twin kicks to the head,
Blink perks up from her seat creating a little rattle from her leash when she hears that. Although Zelda brings out an open hand as a means of calming the wrestling maid.
Zelda: I'm just going to say it took the both of them to beat you. But one thing they went on with was how history tends to repeat itself. Any return comment on that?
Before answering, Holly looks over to Kat who nods her head gesturing for her to speak. Holly then focuses back in on Zelda, licks her lips a little, and tries her best to answer.
Blink: I...believe the full line is “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Mistress and I both know that both Miss. Jami and Miss. Kate tend to work more together than as in-di-vi-du-als.
Zelda lets her get through the word before smiling tapping her pen against the pad of paper.
Zelda: Well, they are a tag team.
Blink: Yes, but I mean...more as a team than most.
Now curious, Zelda rests an arm over the pad and just...studies Blink. It does draw some nervous tension from the smallest woman in the room, but after swallowing and seeing Zelda smile she calms down enough to resume.
Blink: When we faced both Miss. Winter and Matt, they were more as in-di-vi-du-als,
Zelda: God it's sexy when you do that.
Blink: Huh?
Not so much a question as much as it was Blink's startled “deer in the headlights” reaction. Zelda only smiles and gestures for Holly to resume, which takes about a moment of composure regaining first.
Blink: Um...I was...
Zelda: You were explaining how different the Orphanage was from Casa de Kami in the ring.
Blink: Oh! Yes, thank you. They fight as--
Katalina: Indi-
Zelda: Indi-
Zelda smiles and is about to call jinx when Kat just finishes off herself.
Katalina: Individuals, Holly.
Blink looks between them wondering if her point could ever be made. Zelda giggles this time and gestures for Blink to continue.
Blink: But,
One more glance sent between them.
Blink: Miss. Jami and Miss. Kate fight more as a unit. They work hard with and off of one another. That's something Mistress and I are trying to do ourselves. So in fact we are learning from history.
Zelda: I suppose we have Jami to thank for that given her stirring speech about the division.
Katalina: The “stirring speech” was an insult to the integrity of the division capped off with her daring to try and rile us up. No, this notion came about after our lost to them when before we had indeed decided to keep this team of ours going.
Realizing that it's her Mistress' turn to talk, Holly just nods.
Katalina: Holly is a tag team specialist. She defended tag titles with three different partners within a single reign. A reign that lasted over three hundred days. She's also a multiple time tag team champion. When I was with Fury,
Talon, for those playing the home game.
Katalina: We were practically unstoppable. So there is no individual weakness within our team. I have had my fair share of tag team titles as well. What is lacking is our co operation as a team. We respect each other, love each other,
Kat looks over at Holly who gives a small smile back to her.
Katalina: That's who we must be inside of the ring. Not Mistress and slave, that's potentially how things ended badly for us those two times.
Zelda: That's good thinking.
Katalina: We might lose this match as a result of our testing, but other than making it even between us there really isn't much else to this match.
Zelda: I see. So there's nothing to say to them individually?
Katalina: They're a team, we'll focus on them as such. It's how they operate, after all.
Zelda: Alright. Well, thank you both for coming out then.
Smiling, Zelda comes up from her seat and offers out a hand to Kat first, shaking, then Holly's giving it a tender rub with her hand before Candi comes crawling along on her knees.
Zelda: You get a pat on the head, little lion. Just promise not to bite...
Candi nods and accepts the loving strokes through her platinum locks.
Blink: Oh! I did have something.
Kat unwinds the leashes but does little else allowing Blink her moment to give some final thoughts.
Blink: Bowser was never a friend of Miss. Peach.
Both Kat and Zelda stare at her, the former was more confused on the names than anything while the latter steadily grows her smile back on.
Zelda: Are you sure? Because after a while you just have to ask why it's so easy to kidnap a Princess.
Blink: Oh. I...I withdraw my statement.
Zelda laughs out and gives Blink a pat on the head. Holly gives a generous purr before feeling her collar tugging against her neck signalling that it was time to leave. She bows to Zelda, who responds with a curtsy, then heads off as Candi gives a gentle wave crawling along behind the dominatrix. Before leaving, Kat gives a harder tug on Holly's leash bringing her up by her side keeping her there.
The gentle dripping of a faucet can only mean that Katalina Star, dominatrix within the Horsewomen, is standing inside of a bathroom staring down into the porcelain hole. There's the sound of a roaring crowd just dulled through the layers of walls but it's unmistakably loud still. The show is on and the dominatrix is dressed to compete. But there's one thing wrong with her as she doesn't look ready.
Katalina: If I had but one regret...
...Seven years ago
Kat was ready. She was primed and packed and looked the role of a dominatrix. Fresh from her stay as a primary to another Mistress, this solo girl was ready to make it on her own. Her start would come in a apartment complex. Not exactly the luxury high rise office she had been dreaming of, but it's a start. Her client, or clients, was a small gathering of young women fresh off of their shift at one in the morning.

Eventually, the elevator reaches the desired floor as the doors open and Kat is greeted with a friendly smile. A young blond with breasts the size of melons waved toward the dominatrix.
Candi: Hi! I'm Candi. I dunno why my parents named me that. But they laughed and I laughed so it's funny.
Speaking of laughing, the bubbly blond giggled as she entered into the elevator. Kat's first thought was being thankful she wouldn't have to share the box with this one as she stepped out.
Katalina: Well, my name is Katalina. I know why my parents named me that and this is where I'm getting--
Candi: That's a funny name. I'm gonna call you...kitty! 'cause cat is like kitty but different.
There's an awkward silence that runs from Kat over toward Candi.
Katalina: Mm-hm. Well, good bye.
Candi: See ya! Let's see...
Candi hunches over toward the panel looking over the lit up numbers before her.
Candi: I wanna go to room...three...one...eight. Yep-yep!
Katalina: Wait, it doesn't--
Candi: Kitty!
The doors closed concealing Candi's excitement in seeing the dominatrix again. Kat just stood there and shrugged figuring the woman would have fun in this. Besides, it wasn't something that should have taken much of her attention. She had a room full of girls waiting. For her! Giddy, she arrives at room 318 not even thinking as she knocks on the door.

Set it right off the bat that she was in command here. Kat loosened herself up before straightening out her posture. Control...power. The door was swung open and a redhead looks over the dominatrix.
Redhead: Yeah? Oh, you're the...the, um...yeah. You can change in the room to the right, get ready, whatever you do. Hey, Crystal! She's here!
The woman looked back inside of the apartment and started to point outward toward Kat before heading back inside leaving the door open. Kat entered and looked around. There had been some drinking going on, still going on when she entered. One of the girls had already passed out on the couch naked. A couple of girls came in from the kitchen, one of them holding a beer bong and wearing nothing but a tank top while the other was straight down to her unmentionables. The redhead, from what Kat could see now, was at least wearing a pair of panties under her t-shirt. Still, it all made Kat feel a little over dressed.
Blond: Crystal's passed out, remember?
Redhead: Shit. Whatever. Oh,
The redhead turned toward Kat and pointed to a room in the back. Kat sighed and made her way in to get herself ready. This was definitely not how she expected her career to start. How was she going to command respect and obedience from these girls if they couldn't respect themselves?
The actual session was a nightmare for Kat. None of the girls listened to their orders, when they were whipped they laughed, when they were told to be still they were touching themselves and one another.

Her question would soon be answered by a rhythmic knock on the front door. The redhead raises her head from between the blonds legs and sighed as she went to answer it. On the other end was Candi who quickly smiled.
Candi: Hi, Maple, it's Candi.
The woman, Maple, sighed as she kept herself inside the doorway just looking at the spunky blond.
Candi: Um...anyway, it's getting kinda late...can I get to my room?
Maple: Yeah, um, no.
Maple closes the door and turns back to the others before the knocking picks up again. Once more in a rhythmic beat. Maple shakes her head and goes back swinging the door open much like she had done with Kat previously.
Maple: Yes?
Candi: Why can't I go in my room?
Maple: Because it's in use right now. Go away.
Candi: But where am I supposed to sleep?
She asked before Maple could close the door this time. The redhead looks around the hall and shrugs.
Maple: Out here looks good.
Blond: Just give her this, should shut it up.
The blond tosses Maple a pillow who in turn presses it against Candi's face hard enough to shove her back down on the floor. Candi manages to get the pillow away in time to call out.
Candi: What about Mr. Sparkl--
The door closes as Maple turns back and the trio laugh while Kat, who had been listening to everything growls under her breath. When it came time to resume, Kat had hold of a flogger and, after some much levels of convincing, had the three girls lined up with their rears facing toward her. She gripped the flogger tightly and reared back looking to give each one the hardest smack she could muster. To create some real damage they would never forget. Unfortunately...her lessons told her to hold back. She wasn't a part of this, after all, she was just here to entertain.
Therefore, following the light spanking and packing Kat exits the apartment taking the money stuffed into her cleavage and placing it in a pocket of her bag.
Candi: Sparkly unicorn is my friend. Sparkly unicorn friend through the end. Sparkly-sparkly, sparkly-sparkly--
Having noticed the dominatrix standing by watching her sing, Candi immediately sprung to life coming up to her knees giggling.
Candi: Hi, Kitty!
Katalina: H-hi. I think your room is free.
Candi: Silly Kitty is silly, I pay rentals for my room.
Still giggling, Candi made her way up to her feet and to the door where she again gives a rhythmic knock. The door opened quickly as a hand came out snatching the pillow. Barely a moment later the door slams shut again. Kat could hear the laughing from inside out in the hall as Candi stood staring at the door. Kat brought out a hand, maybe to comfort, but stops herself when she realized this wasn't her situation to step into. Instead, she turns and slowly started for the elevator.
Candi: Bye, Kitty.
Katalina: Bye.
Kat softly returned. If she remembered her name, she'd have said it.
Candi: Kitty-Mistress?
Kat snaps to blinking at her reflection in the mirror. The sound of the crowd quickly reminding her where she was and what she was set to do. She looks back over her shoulder and spots Candi standing there, her collar sparkling in the light with the glitter encrusted “K” insignia along the side of it. She smiles to her Mistress stepping back showcasing the leash running from the front of the collar down to the domina's hand.
Candi: I think they're waiting for you.
Katalina: No,
Kat responds turning toward her lion reaching out this time landing her hand atop of Candi's head stroking it along her hair.
Katalina: They're waiting for us, love.
August 25th 2016
Late night at the Roosevelt park in Baltimore, Holly sits alone underneath of the stars with her legs crossed in close hovering over her cellphone before holding it out and taking a picture of the night sky. She then brings the phone back in and smiles drawing back some hair to get a better view of the stars on her screen then swipes through a few. Once she’s gone through what she has, she again holds out her phone and snaps a few more pictures all without looking up from the grass. From off to the side come soft footsteps, leading Holly to turn and after a moment break into another smile. Zahara comes up to the same bench and takes a seat, leaning in to kiss Holly’s brow softly in greeting while smiling brightly herself.
Zahara: Enjoying a little quiet time, honey? I love how you’re smiling right now… you should do so more often.
Blink: I know, Miss. Zahara. I’m trying.
Holly replies before once again holding out her phone to snap another photo. Bringing it in, she holds the phone in between herself and Zoey.
Blink: It’s just tonight it’s so easy to smile. The stars are really beau-ti-ful.
Zahara: So are you.
Taking out her own phone, Zoey snapped a picture of Holly with a smile, catching the little maid with the smile still on her face before turning her phone to show her.
Zahara: Now I have something to keep close to me even while we’re apart, to remind me of my dear friend.
Hearing that, however, causes the maid to lose the smile that’s been attracting so much of the magician’s attention. Only momentarily though as she fights to bring her smile back. It’s not as warm as it was before but it’s still there.
Blink: Have I told you about what I used to do before and after matches?
Zahara: No, you haven’t.
Immediately Zoey felt sorry for saying what she did. It wasn’t meant to be a saddening comment but instead a reminder that no matter where Holly went now, Zoey would remember her and have her close. However, all it seemed to remind her of was how in a few weeks she’d be moving out. Not just that but travelling clear across the country to find her new home in Florida. Holly had spent the past few weeks trying to avoid any discussion and this moment was certainly no exception.
Blink: Before, I would climb up to the highest point I could outside of an arena just to feel the peace and quiet. I would watch everyone come in and hope they enjoy the show and then watch them leave and wonder if I performed well enough for them. But then...
Holly sighs reaching her phone out to take another picture of the stars above them. Once more, her gaze kept down to the grass.
Blink: That accident happened. I haven’t been able to climb much of anything since.
Zahara: I’m sorry to hear that, hon. But maybe you’ll climb again one day. Anything is possible.
She cants her head to the side a little, watching Holly, then finds herself staring down at the ground for a while too, speaking softly.
Zahara: You know what I still do sometimes before matches or my magic shows?
Blink: I have a-cro-pho-bi-a.
That...might explain why she takes photos of the stars instead of looking up at them like a normal person. Though her fear would have to be pretty severe for that.
Blink: So...I don’t really know.
She replies with a laugh that soon calms down to a clearing of her throat.
Blink: But what do you do, Miss. Zahara?
Zahara: Sometimes I talk to my brother for a bit.
The magician smiles faintly, tucking a strand of hair loosened by the breeze behind her ear.
Zahara: I ask him to watch me, tell him that I’m proud of him and that I haven’t forgotten our dream. I don’t do it as much anymore because I’m starting to… feel more secure, I guess? But I still do sometimes when I need to feel for sure that he’s watching.
Blink kicks out her feet and smiles a little easier now, it was right back to when Zoey first came in. That kind of smile again.
Blink: I feel the same way about my parents. I wonder if they’re still watching out for me, making certain I’m not doing anything wrong. I like to think they’re up in the stars watching me and I’d try to find them...but looking up I start to feel dizzy. It’s so high sometimes, it’s hard for me to con-cen-trate.
Zahara: I choose to believe they are. They’re right there with my brother, watching us and making sure we’re doing right by them and ourselves. Which makes us very lucky indeed. Lucky enough that I think I might try and steal a hug!
And with that, Zoey tugs Holly in and wraps her arms around her, snuggling her friend close for a moment. She aimed for just the right embrace… one that would draw a giggle out of the pink maid and make that smile a little bigger.
Blink: Thank you, Miss. Zahara. I needed that.
Holly smiles resting her head on Zahara’s shoulder still keeping her eyes glued to the stars over her phone.
Blink: Have you ever performed outdoors?
Zahara: Once or twice. It’s an interesting experience for sure.
With Holly leaning in so, Zoey wasn’t about to let go, though she did shift them so that they were more comfortable. She ran her fingers through Holly’s pink hair as they chatted.
Zahara: This would be the first time in a while, though I’m not competing at this particular show.
Blink: I know, I’m sorry.
Zahara: Don’t be. I kind of welcome it this time with things being so busy.
She responds in a low tone as she finally turns her phone off and pockets it in her apron letting out a long sigh.
Blink: I hope the fans don’t get cold.
Zahara: I doubt they will. The fresh air will be nice and the temperature is supposed to be mild.
She thought to continue with what was on her mind but Holly seemed so content right now that she didn’t want to ruin it. Instead, she helped the little maid further up onto the bench so she could cuddle in more comfortably, going back to petting her.
Zahara: Are you excited for your match?
Blink: I’m more frightened. Mistress was telling me we did so good when we had other partners...I know she wasn’t meaning that we should split apart, that we just need to find out what we can both give each other in the ring. I want to, I enjoy teaming with Mistress.
Holly snuggles deeply into Zoey’s chest.
Blink: I don’t want to have to stop.
Zahara: The nature of the business says that there’s no way to be sure when you’ll be with or against one another. It’s not the sort of thing you can control, at least not easily. The best either you or Katalina can do is make the most of every opportunity.
The magician wanted to be more reassuring than that but she wasn’t sure what to say. At the best of times Holly was a little complicated and seeing as how she was already teetering on edge with the mood coming up, Zoey really wanted to preserve her happiness. Holly only pushes herself away from Zoey, not in anger or frustration but just so the magician could see her head shaking.
Blink: That’s not true, Miss. Zahara, Lady Marie and I were a tag team for close to five years. So we just need to find what we can best do for one another and Mistress and myself can work as a team for as long as she wants.
Blink then hovers her hazels along Zoey, studying her for a moment.
Blink: I would have assumed you, of all people, would know how stubborn Mistress can be over who she’s with.
Zahara: I do. Forgive me, Holly. I’m the tiniest bit distracted and that caused me to misunderstand you. Do you think maybe you and Katalina should formally announce yourselves as a team? You might get more matches that way and have time to get better as a unit.
Blink: Mistress did, the first time we were set to face off against Miss. Kate and Miss. Jami. Although...some people may have found it a little sar-cas-tic given how I looked during that promo.
Thinking on it now, the gag, heavy chain, posture collar, cuffs...it all seemed to be so scary at the time but looking back on it, it was actually quite thrilling. Not even a year ago Holly had come out in her old company about her love for bondage and submission. Now it was becoming her life as she reaches a hand up touching the front of her collar, tracing the foam rubber “K” insignia with her pinky. That still having replaced her metal one out of fear in what she might do. It was the last match with Jami and Kate that resulted in Holly’s suicidal behaviour. Since then she’s proven to be better but Kat still isn’t going to give her back anything until she proves she’s over it. No matter how long it takes. But then, they’ve always just been the flash and flare of her outfits, so long as Holly is wearing her “K” or just the collar itself, she’s satisfied. Though seeing Zoey staring back at her prompts a healthy glow to the maids’ cheeks as she quickly comes up to her feet and bows.
Blink: I-I’m sorry! I got dis-trac-ted myself, Miss. Zahara. I...I think I really should be going to be honest.
Her fingers were flexing almost uncontrollably and there was a tinge of excitement in her eyes. There was something she needed and knew where to get it.
Zahara: That’s quite all right, honey. I’m just glad that you’re smiling and…
Regarding the maid for a moment, Zoey’s smile grows a bit.
Zahara: ...that you seem to have a plan in mind. I’ll see you soon, then.
Holly’s smile brightens more than all times combined now as she gives another bow and rushes down from the bleachers. Though she stops and pulls her cellpone from her apron and feverishly begins to write something up. Within moments, Zoey’s own phone begins to vibrate. She checks and sees a text message from Holly reading:
“Webcam Whores. SubPinkMutt”
Blink: Ariel and I will be on in a half hour!
She calls out before rushing away. Soon, another text message to Zoey from Blink;
“Sorry for yelling.” Zoey can’t help but giggle...
August 27th, 2016
The interview zone for Zelda Lawson has been set up. The interviewer waits in her seat, legs crossed and pen tapping patiently along her notepad when she hears the gentle rustling of chains from the short distance. Looking over, she notices the dominatrix Katalina, or Strife to those business few, leading both Candi and Blink along on separate leashes. Candi crawls along the floor by her Mistress' feet while Blink takes the two steps behind approach all the way to their seats.
Katalina: Sit.
She orders as Candi drops her rear to the floor sitting herself up like a canine while Holly turns into her chair sitting daintily with her hands on her knees, which are pressed together. Keeping a firm hold over both leashes, Katalina takes her seat as the shackled “lion” brings up a hand and waves it to Zelda.
Candi: Hi, Word Lady!
Kat strokes the side of Candi's head only just hard enough to rest it alongside her thigh. Candi also brings her arms around Kat's leg hugging it with the shackles being long enough for such a thing. Kat...has learned, the hard way, that Candi is a hugger no matter what the circumstances.
Zelda: Hello to you as well, little lion. Katalina, pleasure we can do this again.
Kat responds with a nod while bringing up the leashes so they don't just dangle and create a distracting noise. Zelda uses this as a chance to glance over at the maid sending her a playful wink.
Zelda: Su-Su. About time you got your butt in that seat.
Blushing to have her cheeks match the colour of her hair, Blink opens her mouth to speak but Zelda's hand, and the noise of her own dangly set of bracelets stops Holly dead in her tracks.
Zelda: No apologies during this interview. Okay?
Holly nods her head as Zelda uncrosses her leg nearly, or just about, stroking her toes along the maids leg on her way to crossing the other leg.
Zelda: So, let's jump into things. Shall we?
Katalina: Let's.
Blink opens her mouth to speak as well but is still in a state of shock from the gentle touch she got earlier. Therefore, her lips seal up and she nods her head prompting a little giggle from the interviewer.
Zelda: First off, and we'll get to present situations soon, what was the deal with the last time you were both set on facing Casa De Kami? That was kind of...rough. Even by your standards.
Katalina: Understandable reaction,
The domina begins keeping her hand firmly stroking through her lion's hair.
Katalina: Was I brutal? Yes. Was I honest? Indeed. There are so many problems Jami tends to present herself with, air out as it were, I was merely just filling everyone in.
Zelda: Yeah, but you don't think you went a little too far?
Katalina: No.
Kat's rapid fire answer comes as a surprise to Zelda who stares across the room toward her.
Zelda: N...no?
Katalina: As I said I spoke the truth and sometimes the truth needs to be bluntly thrown out in front of a person in order to accept it. Jami's initial reaction was to run from it.
Zelda: So will you be producing more...truth here tonight?
Zelda has a little trouble using the word herself, but if it keeps things rolling along.
Katalina: No.
Zelda: That's good. Especially given how Kate was saying--
Katalina: I know what Kate was saying.
Kat's sudden interruption draws enough tension one could believe Zelda was now Luke in Jabba's palace. Oh lord, just compared Kat to Jabba. Well, at least Holly or Candi can be Leia, right?
Katalina: What she said only proves my point forward that Jami only lives by her emotions. She declares to want peace but how exactly do you think I figured all of that out?
Zelda has no answer. Zelda doesn't want to answer.
Katalina: So there is nothing more that needs to be said. The truth about Jami came out and Kate is the enabler for shielding her friend from it.
Zelda swallows dryly and looks down at her notes where there was still a page of questions directed toward Kat individually. She just flips that and smiles to Blink.
Zelda: Alright, Su-Su, the last time you four were in the ring you took the twin kicks to the head,
Blink perks up from her seat creating a little rattle from her leash when she hears that. Although Zelda brings out an open hand as a means of calming the wrestling maid.
Zelda: I'm just going to say it took the both of them to beat you. But one thing they went on with was how history tends to repeat itself. Any return comment on that?
Before answering, Holly looks over to Kat who nods her head gesturing for her to speak. Holly then focuses back in on Zelda, licks her lips a little, and tries her best to answer.
Blink: I...believe the full line is “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Mistress and I both know that both Miss. Jami and Miss. Kate tend to work more together than as in-di-vi-du-als.
Zelda lets her get through the word before smiling tapping her pen against the pad of paper.
Zelda: Well, they are a tag team.
Blink: Yes, but I mean...more as a team than most.
Now curious, Zelda rests an arm over the pad and just...studies Blink. It does draw some nervous tension from the smallest woman in the room, but after swallowing and seeing Zelda smile she calms down enough to resume.
Blink: When we faced both Miss. Winter and Matt, they were more as in-di-vi-du-als,
Zelda: God it's sexy when you do that.
Blink: Huh?
Not so much a question as much as it was Blink's startled “deer in the headlights” reaction. Zelda only smiles and gestures for Holly to resume, which takes about a moment of composure regaining first.
Blink: Um...I was...
Zelda: You were explaining how different the Orphanage was from Casa de Kami in the ring.
Blink: Oh! Yes, thank you. They fight as--
Katalina: Indi-
Zelda: Indi-
Zelda smiles and is about to call jinx when Kat just finishes off herself.
Katalina: Individuals, Holly.
Blink looks between them wondering if her point could ever be made. Zelda giggles this time and gestures for Blink to continue.
Blink: But,
One more glance sent between them.
Blink: Miss. Jami and Miss. Kate fight more as a unit. They work hard with and off of one another. That's something Mistress and I are trying to do ourselves. So in fact we are learning from history.
Zelda: I suppose we have Jami to thank for that given her stirring speech about the division.
Katalina: The “stirring speech” was an insult to the integrity of the division capped off with her daring to try and rile us up. No, this notion came about after our lost to them when before we had indeed decided to keep this team of ours going.
Realizing that it's her Mistress' turn to talk, Holly just nods.
Katalina: Holly is a tag team specialist. She defended tag titles with three different partners within a single reign. A reign that lasted over three hundred days. She's also a multiple time tag team champion. When I was with Fury,
Talon, for those playing the home game.
Katalina: We were practically unstoppable. So there is no individual weakness within our team. I have had my fair share of tag team titles as well. What is lacking is our co operation as a team. We respect each other, love each other,
Kat looks over at Holly who gives a small smile back to her.
Katalina: That's who we must be inside of the ring. Not Mistress and slave, that's potentially how things ended badly for us those two times.
Zelda: That's good thinking.
Katalina: We might lose this match as a result of our testing, but other than making it even between us there really isn't much else to this match.
Zelda: I see. So there's nothing to say to them individually?
Katalina: They're a team, we'll focus on them as such. It's how they operate, after all.
Zelda: Alright. Well, thank you both for coming out then.
Smiling, Zelda comes up from her seat and offers out a hand to Kat first, shaking, then Holly's giving it a tender rub with her hand before Candi comes crawling along on her knees.
Zelda: You get a pat on the head, little lion. Just promise not to bite...
Candi nods and accepts the loving strokes through her platinum locks.
Blink: Oh! I did have something.
Kat unwinds the leashes but does little else allowing Blink her moment to give some final thoughts.
Blink: Bowser was never a friend of Miss. Peach.
Both Kat and Zelda stare at her, the former was more confused on the names than anything while the latter steadily grows her smile back on.
Zelda: Are you sure? Because after a while you just have to ask why it's so easy to kidnap a Princess.
Blink: Oh. I...I withdraw my statement.
Zelda laughs out and gives Blink a pat on the head. Holly gives a generous purr before feeling her collar tugging against her neck signalling that it was time to leave. She bows to Zelda, who responds with a curtsy, then heads off as Candi gives a gentle wave crawling along behind the dominatrix. Before leaving, Kat gives a harder tug on Holly's leash bringing her up by her side keeping her there.
