There are demonstrations, at the very least. Workshops that require participation, in some instances.

All intended to acclimate you towards the idea of complying to their system.

[sathan]

( it would be very easy to forget her play, to say what she'll do to anyone who tries to get her to comply but as heavy as she can hit lilith's also finely crafted her art. what better way to hit them than with a blade they'd never see coming )

Demonstrations of sex or something else?

[transgressings]

Sex, yes. Often other demonstrations that are, while not inherently sexual, are designed to illustrate certain components of the dominant-submissive relationship.

Human tables are quite common.

[sathan]

( here's the fun difference -- lilith is open to a lot of things but mary wardwell? not so daring. in some ways )

I suppose they don't consider if you are familiar with sex.

[transgressings]

It is very much a sink-or-swim approach, I'm afraid.

If you would prefer to have company there, perhaps I can be of some assistance in that regard.

[sathan]

( why miss ives-- )

I would. A familiar face may ease this.

[transgressings]

For the opening lecture, of course.

Attendance is mandatory. Participation is not.

[sathan]

What is the alternative?

[transgressings]

Observation.

But they won't allow us to duck out early. Try the doors and you'll find them locked until it's concluded.

[sathan]

There certainly is a theme.

[transgressings]

Encouraged submission?

[sathan]

Power. Sex.
Clearly, they're observing our actions. Can they see everything?

[transgressings]

I do recall reading an entry on the network about someone being imprisoned for uncovering the ways in which the devices act as a record of our time here.

It would seem they monitor quite a lot.

[sathan]

Was a reason discovered?

[transgressings]

Not that I'm aware. Further study for this program of theirs, if I had to venture a guess.

[sathan]

With many under their encouragement.

( and how many of them wouldn't really need much encouragement? how many willingly allowed themselves to submit? that had never been her life and she wasn't about to begin now )

If we submit they will never free us from their control.

[transgressings]

I'm inclined to agree with you.

But there does tend to be a time and a place for even the best-laid plans to come to fruition.

[sathan]

It wouldn't be a good plan if it couldn't work.
And if they stop us it won't.

[transgressings]

Then we bide our time while thinking up a plan that does.

[sathan]

I assume others thought the same.

( though lilith absolutely will come up with a plan that frees herself )

[transgressings]

It's a fair assumption, though one can learn from the errors of others.

[sathan]

Then we'll be well prepared.
