Flickerflame

As often as I can. No other promises.
Beware of artificial intelligences bearing gifts.

No, I don't know what she did when she was---controlled.  The details were very deliberately left vague---fill in the blank for whatever disgusts you, if anything.  Evidently there is something that disgusts HER---which unfortunately, seems to be one of the things they made her body do.

Remember, LORE can command them. Anyone else it's just a matter of--negotiation. And the Deep Realmers, not being biological, when they COULD experience such things--- they wouldn't know when to stop...

After enduring all that to get the necklace---even if the price was too high---all the more reason for her to be crestfallen that it was---stolen.

They probably devised other focus-objects for other Next Levellers---and asked different prices for them. Once their curiosity is satisfied in one direction, they would look into something new...

Al Schroeder (alschroeder) says: Nyaah, Jewel's father is her ex-husband, Arthur Griffin.  But Griffin finding OUT about this might have been a factor in his leaving...in all honesty, I'm not sure when this happened, before or after she was married.  I'm sure he wouldn't blame her for what the Deep Realmers did with her body---after all, she wasn't controlling her own body then---but for initially agreeing to it? To not thinking it through, or desiring the necklace so much that she gave in to their demand? He might blame her for THAT.

Hm.  Criticism ahead, so I should balance this by noting that I do generally enjoy both Mindmistress and Flickerflame.

 

Mindmistress website: Learn the price Beastbeauty paid for her necklace.

Me (before reading comic): Please let this be more interesting than the obvious why-yes-she-is-a-hot-woman thing.  I mean, they're *alien robots.*  And...

Me (after reading comic):  Well...at least the justification for *why* the alien robots wanted to have kinky sex was decent.  Still, there's no particular reason (from their perspective) to choose her for the experiment, yet I saw it coming a mile away.  That probably goes to show something.

Susan Hunter (hyper) says:

Well, I say maybe they chose her because she said yes to the offer. Oh no! A loop.

C'mon, how often does Al have 'kinky sex' in MM or FF? His plots aren't thinly veiled excuses for soft porn, or full of lame cliches. It's the first time something like this happened in the story. Now, if multiple attractive females end up sex slaves, you might have a point. But it's one time! You saw it coming a mile away, what is that meant to show?

Susan Hunter (hyper) says: "C'mon, how often does Al have 'kinky sex' in MM or FF?" = WORST WORDING EVER.
Paul Kory (daved) says: Heh.  Well, unfortunate choice of words aside, I agree--this certainly isn't typical.  I certainly wasn't trying to make a general criticism; I was just disappointed by the use of the "Mars Needs Women" trope here (even if, as previously noted, the justification is better than average.)
Susan Hunter (hyper) says: Blue robot in the 5th panel looks like a transformer. The Decepticons are right under our noses! :D
Al Schroeder (alschroeder) says:

"I was a Decepticon Sex Slave". I can see the tabloid now.,,,

The other criticism was valid, though, and sorry I disappointed. Funny, though---I thought the idea of gonadless, sexless robots using and experiencing biological bodily functions remotely was somewhat original, and using a person like a machine---like they were used by the Zha'Tahn-- somewhat ironic.

I guess what I was trying to stress is that the Deep Realms is NOT the home of benign cuddly robots, not of R2D2 or Asimov's super-cyber-servants.   That their gifts have a price---and usually a high one.

Criticism noted. And trust me, this is a one-time experiment of the Deep Realmers...but any other thing you ask of them, the price might be JUST as high---just different in nature.
