transgressings | inbox for duplicity;

they bloody well should

shit
well
you ever tell mine?
he'd have fancied a go at them
if only to understand
Find out what they wanted
that sort of thing
though if its all sex and porn he wouldve been very disappointed

We have other advantages, but this, I'm afraid, seems to have been more of an oversight than a personal affront.

Regrettably, the subject never came up in conversation. I would have enjoyed more opportunities to get to know him better, but our paths only crossed a handful of times while he was here.

well IM taking it personally
bloody assholes
I cant work at all like this!!!

you got to meet him at some of his extremes
which is probably the best time to meet him honestly
Even knowing who and what Dorian Gray is
you only really KNOW him
when you see him indulging in his most wicked delights
metaphorical or physical
as the occasion calls for

It's far from ideal for anyone whose business only operates during that timeframe.

[ including the crucible. and speaking of: ] We did enjoy an indulgence or two before I was turned. It seems he's as fond of a knife against his bare skin as my Dorian was.

oh i know
was never my thing but I was always happy to send him out for it
I did enjoy playing with the marks that lingered
THAT was new for us
lots of fun considering whats normal for him

you lot continuing to do things like that at your club?
Dorian said it was a lovely spot for those interested in kink like that

So I suppose I was sending him home to you that night.

A variety of things, yes. The Crucible's just been through an expansion, which will be somewhat difficult to launch considering present circumstances, but the hope is that fellow LIERs will be excited about the broadened options for participation, or simply observation. Depending on your personal interests, of course.

if you'd a hand in that
youve got my thanks
it was a GOOD morning after for us both

people will pay just to watch?
they cant sit in on all of it surely
and Im certain you don't allow certain things outside of certain rooms
for safety and all that
But theyll really pay to voyeur all night?

[It's not a rude ask, just a curious one. He likes to watch at times, too, but it's never for something like this.]

I may have played a small part.

There are areas that are restricted for VIP access only, and specific rooms designed for specific intents. But voyeurism isn't necessarily discouraged. If those engaging in a particular scene have no objection to being observed, then why not leave the option available for those who enjoy watching?

no need to be coy
I dont want to cut but that doesnt mean I don't like to play

hm suppose your right
I guess I just never quite got it.
all the BDSM stuff
but its good that youve expanded
we could all use a good distraction
from looking at who you've got on staff?
everyones got to have a good time when they come in

Of course. There are some avenues that I simply don't find enjoyment in. For instance, I've never had much of a stomach for overt cruelty.

The truth is that it's more than mere BDSM. There are many paths to explore through the dominant and submissive roles, and even those themselves are malleable. [ especially given the official title she operates under when she's working. ] One room might be more austere and lean into harsher punishments, while another is intended to be more lavish for worshipping purposes. And yes, the staff has been curated to attend to a variety of desires.

so you mean to say
I could come in have someone at my feet all night
telling me how gorgeous and charming I am?
or take one of your lovely folks on for some worship of my own?
but all without any sex involved
per your clubs rules

Something like that would be permissible, yes. Although when it comes to what goes on in the more private rooms, discretion is the better part of valor. And Grayson and I certainly aren't capable of monitoring every space in the club at all times.

ahhhh
so what happens in the private room
stays in the private room.
got it ;)

all right
Im not going to come down and see it all
but what new things did you add?
Dorian talked about the private room bar and big playroom you've got
color me curious about the rest
especially when you sent my man back to me with wax melters after that colourful party a few months back
those were great by the way
we LOVED them

In other words.

There are two bars now, one public for any guest to use and one only available to VIP members. Multiple play rooms have been added, each with a distinct theme and catering to the degree to which patrons are interested in engaging with one another. The private rooms have been expanded as well, some with a more comfortable aesthetic and some designed to evoke a harsher experience.

comfortable i can imagine well enough
but whats harsh for a club like yours?
going to go Medieval on someone?

[Little does he know...]

I'm aware that's a particular turn of phrase these days, but it's more accurate than you realize.

wait
seriously?
for real you put in Medieval torture devices for play?
really????

honestly Im impressed you could find any of it
though I guess you could have it custom made
do people old fashioned racks anymore without a commission??

You'd have to ask after the particulars with Grayson, I'm afraid. He had some more precise design specifications this time around.

Is it all that surprising that a city like this would offer custom work for this sort of furniture?

i'll do that next time I see him

the furniture not so much
the fact that someone may know how to make them is more surprising
though Grayson is old enough
he could probably draw them a design???
or maybe they have some in books at the library
still havent bothered to check what's there after the horrid poetry display
who needs to make a tower of porn disguised as poetry in the shape of a cock for Valentines Day
honestly

He does have a good memory for that sort of detail, but I wouldn't be surprised if such things are easy to procure here depending on whether you know where to look.

Most of the books are of a certain nature, though I believe other LIERs have tried to recreate their real versions from memory.

suppose he'd be the one to know
seems his thing

ive done that
recreated something I remember
Dorian and I were working on an anthology of our favorite poems
and i
made a copy of his book
HIS copy of his book
not with Oscars note in the front of it
though I got that actual copy from the trees last christmas.....
I mean to say I copied it down
from memory
had it bound so it cant fade with time
guess ive got that to keep me company now

A bit more his thing than mine, but I won't begrudge him his pleasures.

There are the occasional gifts the city chooses to bestow. Ironic, that the powers that be likely don't think too much about the significance of a book to any one person, even if it can be as treasured as something with a substantial monetary worth attached to it.

heh thats why I asked the trees for it
figured it couldnt hurt.
and he liked the copy I made him so if it didn't show up it wouldnt really matter
but then......
there it was
Exactly as we remembered it
threw us both for a loop but.
grateful it happened
even if its just for me

Beyond the memories we have of them, these small artifacts can prove very valuable indeed. It's why I've made an effort to keep any personal effects that my Dorian left behind. The things that didn't vanish along with him that, is.

city did take a few things
well two

did he
have his portrait with him too?
your Dorian
