There you are! How was your walk, you two?
Hello Mistress! Hello Mistress!
You look all sweaty. Are you willing to admit that the hoodie may have been a bad idea?
Stubborn to the end, hmm? Either way, thank you for taking my good boy out for a nice long walk!
What's next? What are we doing next?
You look excited boy! You still have so much energy!
I would've thought such a long walk on a hot day would've taken everything out of you!
Uh, we… stayed on the trails! In the shade! It is hot, so… he was really lazy!
But look at the bounce in his step! You're just so excited! Yes you are!
Yes Mistress! Yes Mistress!
I dunno, h-he… didn't really walk at all.
Yes, well
you certainly look more worn out than Gunnar! Again, thank you for doing this dear. Go on and take a shower. You'll feel better after getting freshened up.
N-no, I don't need to! I'm fine! I promise! I'll… just… be up in my room.
Yeah, I'll be, um… reading.
That's fine, sweetie. Come Gunnar. You can help me sniff the petunias.
Being naked in that treehouse… all my clothes taken…
Wearing a black spade… this spade… ♠'
Heidi and Milka… trying to scare me… was really hot…
My friends… d-domming me… I've been wet ever since…
Even when the boys… they… a small part of me WANTED to…
Wanted to show them all… show them how dirty I am…
So dirty… I'm fucking my hairbrush…
I… I am sweaty though… horny, too… but…
*Sigh* Gosh, I
am hot!
. . .
Sven isn't home. Mom is outside. Maybe… Maybe I will get in the bath…
HAH! H-
Heidi! W-what are you doing here?!
Your mom said I could come up. Didn't know you were… taking a bath. *Giggle*
Umm…. i-it's okay. You can come in.
I'm already in! You left the door wide open! You normally bathe like that?
Hmm. Maaaybe you were hoping your
brother migh-
I told you, didn't I? I'm worried for you.
I… I know you are, but… you shouldn't be…
You
still haven't washed off the spade?
I know that. That's why the water is so low. I don't want to risk getting it wet.
Risk getting it wet? You sound crazy!
L-leave me alone! Did you come over to yell at me?
I came over to talk. Is that okay? We never
really talked about this.
Yes we did. A-and I told you how I felt.
And I told you how I felt about it too. I'm scared for you.
I don't care if you believe in the stories or not, whether you think they're real, or about the gods and the powers that they have here. What matters is that there are
other people that
DO! Some people take the rules really seriously. If the
wrong person catches you with a black spade…
They're going to do whatever they want with you! And they're going to feel justified in doing it! They don't have to be nice about whatever that is, either!
Yeah. And… that's exciting.
Exciting?! Until you're locked in a basement!
Y-You're just exaggerating.
I'm not! Seriously! It has happened before!
Do you believe your family then? How about Milka? They will all tell you the same thing. This world isn't just sunshine and rainbows, you know. Just becuase you had, like what? One fun experience with a spade? Doesn't mean they
all will be fun. Next time might be horrible.
Or what, do you
want to get kidnapped?
O-of course not… I'm not dumb…
Then you should listen to me! Emilia, spades are fine, just not
black ones. Nobody can protect you if you get caught wearing black.
B-because you're my friend, and I… I love you as such…
Didn't you say you want to corrupt me?
I already told you! It was only a joke!
No it wasn't. My mom was right. You and Milka were trying to corrupt me from the moment you met me! And… I guess it worked!
Your
mother is the one who's trying to corrupt you! We didn't force you to wear a black mark;
she did!
Yeah! You said it yourself! She came to you with the black pen! She picked a spade! She
forced a mark on you!
And you showed my brother your star on purpose didn't you?
When you first met him. Or at least you and Milka were always going to have me spy on
one of you doing it, right?
I was wearing a mark, and it just happened, okay? I didn't even know Sven knew! How could I have, when he had just moved in?
Besides, we're not supposed to just
tell people about it! Not unless someone finds you, or… and, well…
of course we wanted to teach you the game…
Because you wanted to get me to play!
W-well yes, but we never -
But you
wanted me to get riskier and riskier,
didn't you?!
No! Emilia! Why don't you get it?! I d-don't want you to be risky! I want y-you to be safe!
*Gasp!*. . .
Your mom's coming! Quick! Stand up! Grab a towel!
Ow! No! Let go of my arm!
Emilia!
C'mon! You
have to listen to me with your stupid spade!
Urg! Then get rid of this thing!
Heidi! You're splashing! Stop!
GIRLS! Emilia, really…
You're in the bath?
What an awful commotion to come from one room! And Heidi, your shirt is soaked.
I'm sorry sweetie. Stand up. I'll get you a towel.
Whatever happened here, I wouldn't have sent your friend to see you if I kne-
Emilia is standing there… with a spade. MY spade. It's smeared, but she's still wearing it from two days ago! Emilia, you silly thing, what is wrong with you?! I swore I told her to get rid of… but Heidi knows all about this then, doesn't she…?
The look on her face. I bet she didn't think anyone would find out.
Yes mom… er, um, mistress?
Mistress…? Seriously? And she stuttered too. Laura is literally forcing her to do this, I can tell.
Mmm. I do love hearing her say that, but…
I'm not your mistress, sweetie, but thank you!
Unless you were looking for something like that. It certainly would explain this…Emilia, would you…
like to keep your spade?
Um… I don't know exactly. But… I just… I didn't want to get rid of it yet.
Hmm. I suppose that's fine. For now. Let's see about blotting it dry…
♠ There. A little faded, but not too worse for wear, considering. Surely it has a bit of life left in it. Is that better?
She even takes pleasure in it. Makes me wanna puke. What an evil piece of shit to treat her own daughter like this.
Yes, but…
I don't get the towel then?
That is interesting. Should a spade be allowed to cover up? Hmm, I don't know. Heidi?
There's nothing
wrong with that! Why can't she?! But… her having a
BLACK SPADE is sort of the problem, isn't it?! She doesn't
get a choice, does she?
I was just teasing! But thank you for pointing that out, Heidi. Emilia? No towel yet. You can wait a minute. Let's sort all this out first.
Just grab a towel yourself, Emilia…
Now, what
was all that commotion about, hmm?
Huh? What do you mean? Isn't it obvious?
Well you two sure did get heated about something.
Something? You mean that
something you put on your daughter?
Should I
not get upset about that? Why is that okay? Being marked like that means that she can't say no to… anything!
Mm? That is about right.
I suspect I already know the answer, but…Tell me Heidi, what do
you think of some of the more
committed markings then, hmm?
"Commited"? That's what you call this?
I call this dangerous! I don't want my friend to get kidnapped! Or worse!
You… you can't make her wear a black spade!
Pardon? I didn't
make her. I gave her a choice.
But you drew that on her!
Well you can't make her keep it!
I'm not making her. I even told her how to get rid of it.
You should've taken responsibility and taken it off yourself!
Laura, how can you be so flippant about this? T-that thing is dangerous, and she… she's my friend!
Yeah, a
daughter! Not a slave!
Any mother worth her salt should care about her child's safety!
Oh come now. Get off your high horse, Heidi. Is safety the first thing on your mind when you go around exposing new children to this "game"? Hmm?
From what I've heard, you and your closest friend have a particular penchant for just that.
I've had a few illuminating conversations in the past week alluding to all sorts of "interesting" experiences that you and Milka have had with other kids in this village the past couple of years.
What? I… I don't even know what you're talking about!
And you know, for a game that's
supposed to be kept secret, you do manage to find all sorts of ways around that, hmm?
Who have you been… D-Danny is a
liar, you know! Cheats on his wife too!
That's a bit harsh! But did you ever think -
Oh, I see how it is. Peas of the same pod, are you? You're cheating on
your husband too, I bet.
Ah. Is that what she thinks of me?
Does he know you're making his daughter wear a black spade? I think he should, and since
you've been having these
illuminating conversations with Danny about MY personal life,
without my permission, what's to say I can't do the same, hmmmm?
Oh, don't worry. I
actually wouldn't, because unlike
some people, I
actually play by the rules.
And speaking of secrets, what about the week ago? Make that girl fuck a dog out in the open? Where everyone could see it? That's what started this all, didn't it? You got discovered and instead of taking responsibility for it with Danny and admitting you messed up, you pushed all the blame on us three and punished us for it! Punished Emilia for it! Unfairly!
If this is all you're here for, I need to ask you to leave.
*sigh* You're missing the point, Laura. I'm telling you that you shouldn't be listening to people like Danny. Liars and cheaters like him are exactly the kind of people we all should be scared of. Do you even know what kind of horrible things have happened to the girls who've been discovered wearing black?
I am well aware of the history this village has, yes.
Are you not worried that could be your daughter?!
Of course I am, but maybe you should've thought of that yourself before you tried to teach my daughter about this game.
O-okay, maybe Milka and I
DO like sharing and teaching other kids, but we're just playing around! And we always make sure people learn to be responsible and -
Wait a minute…
Were you trying to remove my daughter's mark?
Trying to change the conversation now, are you?
It's just that your palm is curiously
dark, Heidi.
Tell me I'm wrong. Have I caught her
black-handed?
S-someone has to protect her! A-and YOU'RE not going to!
Excuse me? Are you telling a
mother that she doesn't have her daughter's best interests at heart?
Your actions
prove that you don't!
I think
your intentions are far more questionable, Heidi. You exposed my daughter to a game of underage sexual deviancy?
Stop making stuff up, Laura. You have
no idea how it happened.
But you did convince her to mark herself so she gets propositioned for sex?
And you took advantage of that too, didn't you? If you have a problem with her being exposed to this game, then why are
you trying to corrupt her?
Heidi, she was acting so reckless and flippant that I thought it best to expose her to what that behavior could lead her to. I
was trying to
help her, not
"corrupt" her.
By helping yourself to her spoils? By forcing her to wear black?
For the last time, I didn't force her. She had the option to refuse and I made sure not to do anything that would've made her uncomfortable either. And sure,
maybe I didn't need to scratch my own itch at the same time… and…
perhaps I
wouldn't have put a spade on her if I knew she was so much of a masochist to
not take it off!
Hmph! If you didn't intend for that to happen, you should've really washed it off yourself and taught her to be safe…
You're right, I probably should have, and
maybe I haven't made the best of decisions leading up to this moment either, but regardless of everything, this isn't your business, Heidi.
But she's my friend and I care about her safety…
Maybe you do, but… hmmmm…
How do you feel about this, Emilia?
Why don't you tell us why you kept the spade?
Ummm, I didn't know how you'd feel if I did, or… if you'd make me take it off… and I kinda like looking at it, and thinking about… what we did…
But I told you to get rid of it, didn't I?
I-I just thought that maybe if I could show my friends that they would be impressed! That I was brave enough to go so far…
You don't have to impress anyone, Emilia!
And yet here we are. My daughter trying to curry your favor in the game that YOU introduced her to.
I don't understand this! Why am I the bad guy here? Laura made Emilia this way, not me. Laura is the one who punished her, not me. So why, when all I want is for Emilia to be safe! Have I been taking crazy pills?! Or am I seriously dealing with a fucking psychopath?!
So yes, I marked my daughter. And yes, a spade is serious. But I didn't
start this. I merely plucked the fruit.
You planted the seed. I simply cannot say I appreciate you corrupting my daughter, Heidi.
You' corrupted her. Not me. So don't try to guilt-trip me.
She stepped so close to me. If she's trying to intimidate me… it's fucking working…
Good god, this girl has cum in her hair! High horse indeed. Shameless or clueless, I can never tell with these young ones…
I think you and I still need to come to some sort of
agreement to deal with so many unexpected… transgressions.
She turned over Heidi's palm again…
But you did try to take her mark away from her.
Which is not against the rules, so don't even act like it is. I'm not stupid, Laura. And even if it may have been
rude of me to do, it's not nearly as bad as marking someone without their permission.
But… I do take the rules seriously…
That is something I
can appreciate. I can also appreciate you being drawn to my daughter in the first place, the moldable little minx that she seems to be. And despite our little argument, I can appreciate the fact that you care about her enough to try to "protect" her, in your words.
But can
you then appreciate that I'm more than a little frustrated by you introducing my daughter to such a promiscuous lifestyle, especially when she lacks the sexual maturity that you do?
Ugh. I'm not immature mom…
Can you understand where I'm coming from? As a mother?
I suppose, since my mother doesn't know either… but being a Star-Bearer is a personal decision. I don't
need her permission. And Emilia doesn't need yours either. Just becuase you're her mother doesn't mean you own her.
Ah, but us mothers do worry and care. But that's not where
WE are, you and I. Still… I'd like to change that. To put things behind us, so to speak. And if you and I can reach an agreement, to help put to rest our grievances… I, for one, would be willing to let bygones be bygones.
She's playing with my hair? Why is she playing with my-
Umm… wh-what are you thinking?
I'm thinking of all kinds of things, but… preferably something fitting.
I don't like this, but… I'll at least listen to what she says…
Umm… go on then…
W-what's in your mind?
Can Laura and Heidi come to an understanding?
