Little Jimmy is excited and happy today. Today is his
16th birthday and he is being taken by his mother to the
Drivers License Facility in his town. He has a car, a
broken-down old Ford given to him by his father that he
has worked on since he was 14. Today, all clean and
polished, it sits in the driveway, awaiting the return of
its young owner, who is proud to bursting of his new
ability to drive. He will be responsible with it; keeping
it clean, lubricated, and well-cared for, so that it will
serve well him when he needs it to. Little Jimmy is
excited and happy today. Today he takes his driver's test
and will get his driver's license.
- Scott
and Madeline are excited and happy today. Today is the
day they will prepare for their upcoming wedding. Scott
and Madeline have been living together for the last three
years, exchanging good and bad times, along with a large
quantity of bodily fluids. They have come to know, depend
and love one another. They will be responsible to one
another, they will care for one another when ill, hurt
and in pain. They do this, so that their love will serve
them well when they need it to. Scott and Madeline are
excited and happy today. Today they take their blood test
and will get their marriage license.
- Dan
is excited and happy today. Today is the day he will go
to his favorite gun shop and purchase the new Glock
pistol that he has wanted for the last three months. The
owner of the gun shop, despite the restrictions against
it, has let him fire a few rounds through it, even though
he did not have the correct identification to do so. Dan
then applied for and received his Firearm Owners
Identification card today. He will keep his pistol clean
and well-oiled. Dan will do this so that the pistol will
serve him well when he needs it to Dan is excited and
happy today. Today he has a license to own a firearm.
- Orville
is excited and happy. Last night, he found a new IRC
channel on the Internet, something about a tavern and
"Gor". He is not quite sure as yet what it is
all about. Someone there with a funny squiggle in front
of their name suggested he go read a web page, but when
he went there it seemed to be an awful lot to read, so he
ignored it. Hell, it is only IRC, it can't be *that*
hard. Confident that he can role-play with the best of
them, he 'enters' the channel and keys his popup letting
others read a description of him in terms that would make
Conan feel inadequate. It takes a full minute for him to
type the description of all the weapons that he sets
sheds next to the chair he pulls up to the bar. He puts
his Reeboks up on the bar and loudly asks if any free
slave girl without a collar could please serve him paga,
if it is not too much trouble, please. Orville is excited
and happy today. Today, he feels he is truly a Gorean
Warrior.
- Doris
is excited and happy. Last night she stumbled into a
channel on IRC, something about "Gorean
training", where all the girls were slaves and the
men were doms. She was told to immediately change to a
lower case nick and to kneel. She was thrilled and did
so. Soon, she was chatting with the owner and his 'first
girl/trainer'. They told her she was now 'in training'
and would wear a collar with the initials of the channel
and a little "t" after the {}. This 'first
girl' explained in whispers that there was much to learn,
and that they would have to get to it sometime soon, but
that she should have fun and 'serve the masters' for now.
Doris was not sure what this meant, but was willing to
try. Doris was thrilled to be promoted from 'trainee' to
'full kajira red silk' last night due to her helping the
channel owner slay someone in another channel with his
soul- sucking sword. She was happy to help, going in and
causing a ruckus in that other channel. Besides, she
hadn't played Dungeons and Dragons since she was 14 and
the owner was kind of cute with his pointed ears, like
Mr. Spock. She was eager to learn more, but was not too
worried, for the 'firstgirl/trainer' had told her that is
she messed up really bad, she could always log on with
another name, claim to be her own daughter and tell
everyone that "mommy" had died and therefore
would not be coming back. The 'firstgirl/trainer' assured
her that this would work every time and that she could
then come back to "gor" with another name and
again be 'slave'. Doris wanted, in her heart, to be just
that. Doris is excited and happy today, for today Doris
feels she is truly kajira.
- Orville
and Doris are both excited and happy. Tonight they found
one another, and hit it off well. Orville begged her to
'wear his collar' in whispers, and she thought that
although he did not have pointy ears, he was cute, too.
All big rippling muscles. So she said: "Okay, but
you can't collar any more girls." Orville quickly
agreed and told Doris he loved her and always would.
Doris told Orville she loved him and always would. They
prepared to make their life together, on IRC, each in
their own little world. Soon, they would hurt one
another, and they would lie to one another, and they
would speak ill of each other to those who would listen.
Soon, Orville would accuse Doris of 'destroying his
honor' when he catches her netsexing the owner of the
training channel. He will be slain be the pointy-eared
one, his soul sucked into oblivion forever, or at least
until he can get nickop to give him a new nickname. But
tonight, Orville and Doris are happy. For they are both
sure that he is a "Gorean Warrior" and she is a
"kajira" and that they will always be together
in love and in Gor.
- One
needs a license to drive a car, so as not to cause harm
to others. One needs a license to get married, so as not
to cause harm to unborn. One needs a license to own a
gun, so as not to harm others. One needs no license to
pretend to be what one is not. No matter what the danger
to others
I
wish you well.
