Skyrim: Bliss in bondage [Soru]

[spriter1]

Claire is almost jumping with happiness as you allow her to wear the collar, quickly taking off the one she is wearing and tossing it across the room before putting the one she was holding on around her neck, with the gold tag being in the shape of a heart and saying 'My Angel'. She goes back to finishing off getting ready, while you go to see if Isabella is awake, which turns out is a definite no. It might be a good idea to see what she is hiding, but then again this would be a good time to see what she is hiding from you...

[Soru]

Felicia quietly goes over to Isabella's bag and keeps an eye on her. She quickly and quietly opens Isabella's bags and looks inside, trying to see what Isabella has been trying to hide from here for the last couple days.

[spriter1]

Opening the bag reveals all the bondage gear the two of you actually took off each other, then it goes to the open back chastity belt, gag, and harness you were wearing when she found you, along with a key and a 8 inch dildo. then it comes to all the stuff she bought in Whiterun, it just being food and also looks like there is a bottle of mead or two in it. Under that then is the rest of your bondage gear, and under that is more just personal stuff she must have had on her before meeting you, including a couple of leather-backed books with some titles on the front, and one with no title.

[Soru]

Felicia looks over all the stuff and wonders why Isabella has been keeping their bondage gear. She decides to stop snooping through the bags before she gets caught. She decides to sharpen her daggers a bit as she waits for Isabella to awake so they can continue their journey to Winterhold.

[spriter1]

You find a grindstone connecting to the middle room, letting you sharpen your daggers as you can hear from the top of the staircase somebody quickly moving about and trying to get themselves ready.
(GM roll - 9)
You then hear someone from up the stairs stop moving, which is them followed by you hearing Isabella going "Felicia, Claire? Can you both come here please?"
Going up the stairs reveals a half dressed Isabella, her wearing her robe, but it isn't tied up so you can see she isn't wearing a bra or panties once again. You can also see she doesn't look all that pleased about something.
"I'm going to ask once. If I get the truthful answer now, I will think nothing more of it. Who was it that went through my bag? Cause whoever it was helped themselves to a drink of my ale."

[Soru]

Felicia raises a brow. She went through her things but she didn't take anything. "I didn't drink of your ale. It could have been one of the people who caught us. I did look through your bags to see if you had a sharpening stone though so I could sharpen my daggers but I found a grindstone though.

[spriter1]

"I didn't go-"
"It's alright now Claire, I know now it was Felicia. I never had ale, but I never told you I had mead, so I thought that whoever looked through my back might have slipped up and said 'but you have mead' or something like that. Also you can just always ask, like this is the first time you have been up before me, and you know I like to get moving. But hey, no worries."
After that, Isabella goes back to getting dressed, while Claire heads over to the corner to pick up a satchel a bit smaller than Isabella's. The slave quickly comes back over to you once she is happy with how she has secured her bag, bow and quiver to her body. "Thanks again for letting me wear the collar!"
You imagine that no matter how many times you say it, Claire is just not going to just wear what she wants, apart from putting on her hide armour. You imagine she would take it off at the drop of a hat if you told her to do it though.

[Soru]

"I would have asked but I didn't want to wake you. I thought you might need your rest considering everything that happened yesterday." Felicia said. Inside she was glad that Isabella bought the one lie she put in there about looking for a sharpening stone.
Felicia looks at Claire as she happily moved around in her collar. She felt a bit bad for her though from having been brainwashed into a slave. She wasn't sure if Claire will every become independent. Felicia gathers up her things and helps the other two pack before they continue their journey to Winterhold. Felicia knew that on the way from here there wasn't much but frozen land with some ruins along the side and she remember a small mine. There wasn't much to pass by so she hopes that they won't run into anything else on the way.

[spriter1]

Luckily, once you are all set, you don't run into anything on your way to Winterhold, and by the time you make it, it's about mid-day, since you headed out a couple of hours after daybreak. Once you are there, you can see that the place hasn't changed much since you were last there. A village that is only really big enough to call a hold because of the college. You can see a high elf up the ramp leading to the bridge out to the college, looking rather bored. When the three of you approach, she stands up from her position as she sees Isabella wearing apprentice robes, but it soon turns to a frown as she seems to notice you and Claire.
"How may I help the three of you?"
"I was looking to enrole in the college, and these two are my-"
"Bodyguards? We have had a couple of people bring in bodyguards before that belonged to rich families, and trust me all they do while they are here is sit around and complain about the fact that there is nothing to do in a magical college that doesn't involve magic. I would advise that you pay your two 'Bodyguards' And bid them goodbye."
"Why was there sarcasm when you said bodyguards?"
"Because they are both wearing slave collars, and we have had other students try to sneak in slaves by claiming them to be bodyguards. You must know, since you want to join the college, that slaves are not allowed."
"They aren't sla-"
At this point, Claire steps forward to speak, actually sounding alot more mature and intelligent then she did when you were in the old fort.
"Pardon me ladies, but I feel like there is some things that need addressed. I would first like to start by finishing this woman's sentence by saying we are both not slaves, to anyone. My slave gear is supposed to show the fact I am bound to whoever hires me until they have no more use for me, and my Khajiit friend here is wearing one due to the fact she was actually found in a slave camp, and is going to be free of her bindings once her business here is done. And I believe there is more than what you are telling us to the bodyguard story, as there have been reports of multiple murders of both students and students-to-be in the area as of late, casting this college in a questionable light, which only makes it alot easier for the nords of Windhelm to bring people on their side to have the college shut down, effectively removing magic from Skyrim. So, with all that in mind, surely not allowing bodyguards to enter would only reinforce these claims, no?"
You are pretty shocked by the claims, and from the looks on the elf's face, and also you can see a hint of it showing from Isabella's completely natural face, you can imagine they didn't expect this from the woman who was jumping about and giggling a second ago. After a second, the elf just looks to you, as if looking for conformation of what was just said.

[Soru]

Felicia looks at Claire in awe. Felicia knew a thing or two about having a silver tongue and being able to talk her way through situations but Claire was very good at it and is very convincing. Felicia looks back at the elf and nods. "What she says is correct. I wasn't even at that slave camp for a day when this mage here got me out in order for me to help her. I wouldn't even be in this collar if we were able to get it off but the enchantment is too complicated to get it off."

[spriter1]

The woman just looks between the three of you, before her gaze settles back on Isabella.
"I still need proof that you are a mage, and not just trying to pass as one by wearing the robe off a corpse."
After this being said, the woman actually walks up the bridge a bit, before a fireball is chucked Isabella's way, which the mage quickly wards to deflect, and throws two back in response, which the woman quickly blocked with her own ward... not giving her enough time to defend against Isabella's familiar, which jumps on the girl before disappearing. The woman picks herself back off the ground, before coming back over to the mage and saying. "Well, It certainly seems like you know a good bit. So, shall we travel up to the academy? Once there, I'm sure we can show you to a teacher that will give you a tour and show you your living arrangements."
After that is done the woman leads the three of you down the bridge, with her talking to Isabella and the two of you lagging behind.

[Soru]

Felicia hangs back with Claire. "That was very good, Claire. I've seen some good negotiators before, but nothing like that. Maybe you can teach me a bit of what you know and I can teach a bit of what I know." She smiles at Claire as they make it to the collage. "By the way, what you said about the murders earlier...Is that true?"

[spriter1]

Claire tries to keep her voice down to make sure the high elf doesn't hear. "Of course, after all I told you master had me fill in for him at some of his meetings. A lord can't keep his acquaintances waiting, even if it means sending someone in to replace him. And I would be happy to teach you some things, sure I still need to thank you. Also, about the murders... There was a reason that fort was chosen, you know. Alot of untapped talent goes by, and there is hardly anyone around to notice..."
Now that she mentions it, you do remember you got an ebony dagger off an altar in that fort...
The elf just hands you all over to a man in adept robes who begins to bring you around to show you your accommodation in the dorms, before bringing you around to see the college. You can definitely tell that this school is for people starting to get into magic, as you are pretty sure you here an explosion here and there in the school... When you are being shown into the library, you can see that all but one of the bookcases with transparent green glass over them, letting you see the books inside. The other one is opaque, making you wonder what it might contain. There is also a mountain of books on top of the bookcases, probably due to there not actually being any room for them. A short while after this, you see a dark elf in archmage robes walking around, with the adept telling you that that is the principal, and not to disturb him unless it is neccessary... And just like that Claire is running towards him shouting "Hello Savos!"

[Soru]

Felicia nods in understanding as Claire talks. She remembers the ebony dagger she found on the alter and made a mental note to ask Claire about it later. Felicia looks around as they are given a tour, her feline eyes spotting some valuable things that she had to resist the urge to steal. When they reach the library Felicia looks around at all the books and the bookcases, wondering which one of them might have the book that they came here for. She was distracted though when Claire ran up to the principal. "You've been here before?" She asks Claire.

[spriter1]

You ask the question, but Claire seems to basically be in her own world as she runs up to the archmage, who's face looks up as he hears what is more than likely his name being called, which then changes to one of surprise and happiness as his gaze falls on the slave girl.
"Claire! By the nine, we thought you were dead!"
"Of course not Mr. Aren! I was able to escape... Well, what happened at master's place, but I was captured. I'm free now though!"
"Well, I must say you still seem to be your old self. I am sorry for what happened to Adam-"
"You don't need to be. It wasn't your fault... But the people who's fault it is are now to face their judgement in oblivion. I hate to have to leave on that sombre note, but I have mist- er, friends to follow and to make sure I don't keep them waiting."
"Of course Claire. I just hope your mistresses are as nice to you as Adam was."
"How do yo-"
"Claire, I have been around you enough to know when you are in the presence of your master or mistress. I don't mind that you have them, I just hope they look after you. But I do trust you will be around for a while? It would be very nice to speak to you again after so long."
"Don't worry, so far I'm very happy! And I think that we will be around for a while, but this is down to the decision of my two mistresses."
"Well if you do go before we get to speak again, let me end by saying it was nice for this to happen, and to know you were alright."
"It was very nice to speak to you too!"
Once that was all said and done, Claire comes back over to the two of you, leaving Savos to his... whatever his was doing. This also let's the adept continue on with the tour, with Claire whispering into your ear, "He is one of my old master's friends, although he wasn't the archmage when I last saw him, only the successor. I used to enjoy chatting to him alot, and he was the only one of my master's friends and acquaintances to not ask to use me, although master refused those requests anyway."

[Soru]

Felicia nods and looks at Savos and then back to Claire. "Well he seems like a very nice man and your master sounded like a very kind person as well." She gives Claire a smile before looking back at all the bookcases. There were many here and she had no idea which one could contain the book Isabella was looking for. For now she'll wait until she has a clue to help her.

[spriter1]

"Thank you... Saying that means alot."
The adept keeps showing you around the school, until you finally end up back outside the dorms. The man asks if there is any questions, with Isabella asking if you can leave freely, and the man says that while you can, it must not be during a class, or after curfew. With that all said and done, the man leaves, leaving Isabella to lead you both through the maze of rooms until you end up at the end, with the room for the three of you actually being three medium sized one person rooms with a door connecting them on the inside. Isabella quickly takes the left and Claire the right, leaving you the middle. when you three are all sorted out, Isabella comes back over to the two of you. "So, I suggest we find the books, make a copy of them, and leave when we get the copy. I would just take them, but the school will notice. Also, all we know about the book is that it's in a locked bookcase, so shall we check out the library to begin with?"

[Soru]

"It's not as simple as that. Those bookcases are large and there's many of them. We have no idea which bookcase it's in and trying to pick all the locks will take too long, even with my skills. " Felicia said to Isabella. "And you said we need a copy, which will take time to make as well. We need some idea of where it is first if we don't want someone caught us before we even find it."

[spriter1]

"We don't even know if any of the rest of those bookcases are locked, so all we would need to do is find the odd one out, right? And trust me, if we find the right person, we can get the stuff to have a book made in a shorter time then one would imagine. Besides, even if none of that happens, I think an idea would be to still go to the library and start from there, no?"

[Soru]

Felicia sighs. "Alright, we can try. But there's a lot of bookcases there don't expect us to find the right one in time. I'll need Claire to keep watch for me as I work the locks and then I'll need you to identify the book." Felicia told Isabella.
