A Very Cynful Christmas

=><= **A VERY CYNFUL CHRISTMAS** Night falls on Hyetiana, on a day much like any other-- for most. <== A small group, however, mostly humans and those interested in their traditions, know that tonight is a day like few others. For it is Christmas Eve, and Cyn Sauveterre always made sure to celebrate it with her girls-- of which you are one. But you're running a bit late, unfortunately. The planet's sun set an hour ago already, dinner has passed. [[Trudging through the snow, you approach a familiar storefront...->Intro2]]

<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/d48e65264349a1b20e10fba9c1a0eeb5/tumblr_pww6iicSot1yq4cb8o1_400.gifv"> Snow falls, as it so often did, upon the city's commercial district. Shops line the streets, many the quaint boutiques and cafes asari so often seemed to prefer. Some are still brightly lit, customers occasionally emerging, but most already sit dark and quiet. It may have been Christmas Eve for only a few, but happenstance placed a major university holiday starting two days ago as well-- and with so many of the planet's residents being students, the population fell rather precipitously as they traveled home for the break. Usually earning their living from serving them, some shops simply shuttered for the three week period altogether. *Sauveterre Design and Dive* is one of the quiet ones as you turn the corner and cross the street to approach it, but you know its not a lack of work that sees it in such a state. For those who remained on Hyetiana recreational diving was a common pursuit, Cyn would be busier than most. But still, given her human holiday, she had closed up early. Lights twinkle from the second story though, as fat snowflakes glide off your mask while looking up. That was where everyone would be. Stepping up onto the storefront's stoop, you catch your own reflection in the big forward facing windows. As always you're fully suited, a requirement of your quarian physiology. The bits of decorative clothing changed on occasion, but you know its the suit's *color* that mattered most. It was, after all, where your **other** name was derived... (set: $Blue to false)(set: $Red to false)(set: $Yellow to false)(set: $Silver to false)(set: $Strike to 0)(set: $SawHobble to false)(set: $GotFeed to false)(set: $FeedSelf to false)(set: $Music to false)(set: $Time to 0)(set: $Suited to false) [[Your suit is BLUE.->BlueIntro]] [[Your suit is YELLOW.->YellowIntro]] [[Your suit is RED.->RedIntro]] [[Your suit is SILVER.->SilverIntro]]

(set: $Name to "(color: blue)[Blue]")(set: $Blue to true)(colour: blue)[*Blue.*] The color defines you. Anyone could look at your suit, observing the play of light upon the glossy blue material, and guess it was your favorite color. When they sought to meet your eyes, silver almonds behind frosted glass, they did so through a blue pane of glass. But precious few knew what it *meant* for you to *be* that color. To be $Name, one of Cyn's vivid quartet, stripped of your name and dignity, reduced to a *thing*. A toy. A color. A pony. Somewhere along that train of thought your breath had caught and you find yourself leaning against the doorframe, heart beating rapidly. How such thoughts could get to you! It certainly made your schoolwork difficult at times, if you allowed your mind to wander. Keeping a strict hold on that had been quite an effort these past two days, since your university had gone on vacation. As a full time resident you were always intending to stay, and that had led to your volunteering to help with some tutoring for other students who lingered. Time well spent, Shunne certainly approved, but trigonometry with a particularly struggling turian had gone far later than you had anticipated. Thus your lateness, the missed dinner. (set: $Name to "(colour: blue)[Blue]") [[Anything for extra credit, though.->Intro3]]

(set: $Name to "(color: yellow)[Yellow]")(set: $Yellow to true)*$Name*. The color defines you. Anyone could look at your suit, observing the play of light upon the glossy yellow material, and guess it was your favorite color.

Somewhere along that train of thought your breath had caught and you find yourself leaning against the doorframe, heart beating rapidly. How such thoughts could get to you! It certainly made it easy for you to get distracted. Before the rest of the shops closed Cyn had tasked you with picking up a few supplies she would need over the university break, loading them into your VI's memory to help, but as always you *had* wandered a bit. People-watching near the bus station, getting lost once or thrice, and even an impromptu snowball fight with some children. Thus your lateness, the missed dinner. [[Luckily Mistress expected that of you, though. She probably planned for it.->Intro3]]

(set: $Name to "(color: red)[Red]")(set: $Red to true)*$Name*. The color defines you. Anyone could look at your suit, observing the play of light upon the glossy red material, and guess it was your favorite color. When they sought to meet your eyes, silver almonds behind frosted glass, they did so through a red pane of glass. But precious few knew what it *meant* for you to *be* that color. To be $Name, one of Cyn's vivid quartet, stripped of your name and dignity, reduced to a *thing*. A toy. A color. A pony. Somewhere along that train of thought your breath had caught and you find yourself leaning against the doorframe, heart beating rapidly. How such thoughts could get to you! It certainly made something as boring as grading final papers troublesome, but your deadline had been today, and you *had* to get them done. So you had staved off your wandering thoughts, buckled down, and got it done. Thus your lateness, the missed dinner. [[Of course you had warned Cyn of the opportunity ahead of time.->Intro3]]

(set: $Name to "(color: grey)[Silver]")(set: $Silver to true)*$Name*. The color defines you. Anyone could look at your suit, observing the play of light upon the glossy silver material, and guess it was your favorite color. When they sought to meet your eyes, silver almonds behind frosted glass, they did so through an equally silver pane of glass. But precious few knew what it *meant* for you to *be* that color. To be $Name, one of Cyn's vivid quartet, stripped of your name and dignity, reduced to a *thing*. A toy. A color. A pony. Somewhere along that train of thought your breath had caught and you find yourself leaning against the doorframe, heart beating rapidly. How such thoughts could get to you! Thankfully your job required rapt attention. Down beneath the sea, welding on deep water construction projects, a moment's lapse could be dangerous. It kept you on your toes... although it did little for the nights, when you tried not to dwell on your last stay with Cyn. Such thoughts were... addictive, even moreso when your transport coming back to port had been delayed by bad weather. Thus your lateness, the missed dinner. [[If you were on time, you could already be in your proper suit...->Intro3]]

Shaking away your thoughts, you turn to the shop door. A small chibi quarian, formed from neon, holds an equally glowing sign-- CLOSED. Such an impediment means little to you however, as you note the blink of a small receiver hidden along the doorframe. One of Cyn's myriad of projects, this one less taxing than most: a proximity detector, greeting your arrival with a click from the door's lock. Reaching down, you push the door open, just as a message comes through on your suit's heads up display. =><= (if: $Yellow is false)[*Hey, $Name. Come meet me upstairs when you're ready. I'll be waiting. :) :) :)*](else:)["Hey, $Name," your VI reads aloud. "Come meet me upstairs when you're ready. I'll be waiting." It concludes by describing three smiley emoticons.] <== (if: $Blue is true)[Smiling to yourself despite your best efforts, you pause on the rug just inside the doorway, tapping your foot against the stair there to clean off the snow. Quarian suits were marvels of engineering and design, but without removable boots it did make tracking things through one's home rather bothersome.](if: $Yellow is true)[Grinning wildly, you pause on the rug just inside the doorway, tapping your foot against the stair there to clean off the snow.

Its been weeks since you took Cyn's suggestion and started wearing risers full time, the wedge heels keeping you perpetually on your toes, but you hardly notice anymore-- a hand on the wall steadies you readily. At least you won't be tracking snow about the shop.] A second click from the door behind you indicates it had locked again, but you hardly notice, instead glancing about the darkened storefront. [[Glance to your left.->DivingStuff]] [[Glance to your right.->QuarianStuff]] [[Stop at the counter at the center.->RegisterStuff]]

The left and larger portion of the store is devoted to Cyn's trade. Wetsuits, dive tanks, and all manner of paraphernalia line shelves and racks devoted to Hyetiana's most cherished pastime. With so much of the planet covered in oceans, and with so many marine-related classes offered at the local universities, there was always a demand for such gear. (if: $Blue is true or $Yellow is true)[Given your part time job here, you know that fact intimately, having sold just about everything you can see from your vantage.](else:)[It certainly seemed to serve Cyn well, when the store was open and you visited there was always some patron or another hanging about.] [[Glance to your right.->QuarianStuff]] [[Stop at the counter at the center.->RegisterStuff]] [[Stop dawdling, time to head upstairs.->HeadUpstairs]]

The right side of the store is smaller, the shopfront skewed to the other side by the simple dimensions of the land upon which it had been built. Even so, it was *this* area had (if: $Yellow is true)[indirectly led to your residence here:](else:)[first drawn you to Cyn's shop:] quarian suits and equipment. Despite their complexity, quarian suit design had been a natural progression for Cyn, skilled as she was with repairing diving gear and equipment. Out here, far from the resources of the Fleet, such expertise was rare indeed-- making Cyn's store something most pilgrims probably heard of, if they entered the cluster. And you certainly got the best, if you made your way here. Simple patch jobs and the like were most common, but on occasion she sold one of her full suits, marvels of engineering and design. You can certainly attest to their craftsmanship, wearing one as you do. Glancing down at the tight material, fully enclosing and protecting you from simple microbes that would undoubtedly leave you sick for a week if you so much as took a breath, you cannot help but think yourself lucky. (if: $Blue is true)[On a student's budget](if: $Yellow is true)[On a refugee's allowance](if: $Red is true)[On a teacher's salary](if: $Silver is false)[ such a suit would have been nearly impossible to afford, but it came as simply *one* perk amongst many for the... service that you provided Cyn. Even so,] (if: $Silver is true)[Unlike the others Cyn had collected, you had bought your suit yourself, underwater welding being rather lucrative-- and you had so few other interests to spend credits on anyway. Even so,] you know that such suits were *far* below what Cyn was truly capable of crafting... [[Glance to your left.->DivingStuff]] [[Stop at the counter at the center.->RegisterStuff]] [[Stop dawdling, time to head upstairs.->HeadUpstairs]]

Approaching the counter from which Cyn conducted business, you note little of immediate interest. A register, intended to be linked with an omnitool for logging purposes. Some cuts of material stored beneath the desk, stored for later. Neoprene you guess. And... something else. Something unexpected, one few would expect for a dive repair shop to have. A heavy chain, the thick links connecting a pair of circular cuffs. You recognize it immediately as a hobble, but it is the *color* that surprises you. It is not blue or red, silver or yellow... but pure black. Onyx, even. Perhaps the stables are already occupied by a visitor? Either way you step back towards the front of the store. (set: $SawHobble to true) [[Glance to your left.->DivingStuff]] [[Glance to your right.->QuarianStuff]] [[Stop dawdling, time to head upstairs.->HeadUpstairs]]

Crossing to the back of the room, you slip behind the counter and push aside a small panel to reveal a staircase somewhat hidden behind. (if: $Red is true or $Silver is true)[The click of your risers upon the stairs marks your ascent,](else:)[Your feet thump gently upon the stairs as you make your ascent,] following the curve of the path halfway up. Rounding that you arrive at the top, and find yourself in a hallway. (if: $Blue is true)[[[Empty and quiet...->Upstairs]]](else:)[[[And you're not alone...->Upstairs]]]

The hallway is much as you remember it, white walls framing a dark mauve hardwood sourced from the tree-analogues that grew upon the planet. Christmas bunting in the form of little glowing lights, Cyn being rather adamant they were the most important part of her holiday, line each wall. Most days they went unadorned, given she treated this area more like an apartment complex's despite owning the entire building, but the twinkle of the multicolored lights certainly spark a certain mood. You find yourself staring at the $Name ones for a moment before shaking loose of the reverie, turning instead to the four doors that await you. Two each mark the side walls, the one to the left being Cyn's residence, the one to the right (if: $Yellow is true)[being your own apartment.](else:)[Cinni's home.] Further back an open passage reveals another set of stairs winding up, and beside it the final portal, this one closed. That would be the clean room, of course. Just the sight still managed to tickle a cool chill along your spine. (if: $Blue is true)[Otherwise the passage is empty, the only other thing of note being four ring-like loops securely fastened to the wall nearby. Hitching posts, of which you are *very* familiar...](else:)[The final noteworthy point had been the hardest to ignore, but you had done your best, saving the proverbial best for last. Another quarian awaits, her every supple curve on full and ready display by a suit any member of your species would consider scandalous-- at best. It is a metallic blue in coloration, almost impossibly snug, revealing a young body nevertheless well toned, her figure still filling out. Wide hips, as per every member of your species, are combined with a tightly corseted waist and respectable chest, although none would consider her busty. *Yet.* She wears no suit coverings, nothing beyond the skintight material that gleams with every shifting movement, burdened only be a series of restraints. Her arms are locked behind, the heavy armbinder the same color as the merciless gravity heels that push her up on her toes, thrusting out chest and rear just to keep balance. Those would be shoed with steel of course, her hooves designed for long marches. A hobble chain links her ankles, short enough to restrict most gaits, but allowing her to high step when commanded. And she is leashed, the cord running from the thick collar at her throat to one of four rings securely fastened to the wall. Hitching posts, which you know of well. She has no face, even by quarian standards, her mask opaque and featureless, but her head does turn your way. "Mmmmmmmgh..." A simple greeting. Frustrated sounding, as (colour: blue)[Blue] so often was. [[Your path requires you pass by her.->WalkBlue]]](else:)[[[You step further into the hallway.->SkipBlue]]]

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/5rgspoR.png" width="30%" height="30%"> Baby blue hair shifts across the latex-coated girl's back as she follows your movement, the large bow tied halfway up keeping her mane tightly together. Even so she stands with her knees together, the usual decorum of legs being spread unnecessary without Cyn present. Such a posture only highlights the triangular gap between her wide thighs however, all but framing the smooth expanse of material that ran down between her legs. Her plugs would be down there, of course, one for each hole. Eternally frustrating, torturous even. You can certainly read her body language readily, a plea for some sort of help or mercy being obvious... [[Ignore her.->IgnoreBlue]] [[Tease her.->TeaseBlue]] [[Correct her posture.->CorrectBlue]]

The quiet solitude of the empty hallway greets you as you clear the landing, a few strides of your blue-suited legs bringing you closer towards the other doors further down. [[You will have to choose one of them.->PastBlue]]

Some would call it cold, but you know what is best for someone in Blue's position-- the most merciful tact of all was to simply ignore her. She makes it hard though, stepping towards you as you pass, as far as her leash would allow. When it pulls tight she whimpers, but even then you hold course, keeping your eyes forward as you leave her behind. That prompts a frustrated snorth, followed by a tap of her hoof upon the floor. She's incapable of much more, a fact you confirm by glancing back, to find her blue tail flicking back and forth with angry hips. (set: $Strike to 1) [[Its for the best.->PastBlue]]

The temptation is just too much. As you step forward, Blue's need for attention drawing her to the edge of her leash, you reach out with a gloved hand. Touching a full slave suit remained an experience hard to explain, the sheer sensuality of the almost frictionless glide across a smooth body so very compelling. You had reached for her hips, then trace down her thigh, traveling inward the entire time. The pony reacts with a surprised gasp, her gag keeping anything like words from escaping, but it quickly devolves into a needy moan. It would have been so *easy* to trace back upward, to her waiting gap and the meeting of her thighs, but you know better than to push it that far. When you pull away Blue nevertheless follows, lost to the desire her situation invoked. When her leash goes taut she pushes out her hips, moaning with a quiet frustration that quickly grows as she recognizes that had not been the start of something-- but the end. Indignation follows, her petulance demonstrated by the way she stomps a foot, her tail behind flicking back and forth as she pulls against her bondage. It is of course in vain, and as you step beyond her reach you're treated to her impotent vexation. Her whinnied moans drift down behind as you put your back to her. (set: $Strike to 2) [[All is fair between ponies.->PastBlue]]

Meeting Blue's eyes, or where you at least knew them to be behind her faceless mask, you step promptly forward to meet her mewled need for attention. She responds by doing the same, quickly reaching the edge of her leash, her breasts pushed out as she pulls gently against the cord connecting her to the wall. After being left here for who knew how long, stewing in her frustrated desires, you seem apt to give her the attention she so desired. It certainly makes the firm slap you land upon her flank all the more surprising. The pony rears up in surprise, moaning as much as complaining through her gag, but you've got her attention now. (if: $Yellow is true)["Blue, you *know* you're not following Mistress' rules," you cheerfully note. "Here, let me help you!."](if: $Red is true)["Blue... it really would serve you best if you remembered what Mistress undoubtedly expects of you," you reply, wanting to help but knowing this is the best you can do. "Here, I will assist."](if: $Silver is true)["You are a pony, Blue, not a person." Your words are delivered sharply, a strict reprimand. "You *will* take a better posture."] Reaching forward, one of your hands lands upon her waist, the heavy corset there merely helping you steady her. Down below you stick a leg between her pair, ignoring the lewd way her hips thrust out despite herself, instead using the position to kick out her posture. "Legs spread," you note. "Parade rest. Eyes down, back straight, chest out." (set: $Strike to 3) You force her into the expected position, Blue only struggling for a moment before she submits, if somewhat begrudgingly. By the time you step back, looking over your work, the young ponygirl is the very picture of proper posture. She pushes against her bondage not in resistance, but to achieve a more compelling silhouette, the piercings through each her nipples in particular standing out with her back arched. Stepping past her, to continue on your way, she holds the position-- although a sharp snort through her mask indicates frustration and annoyance in equal measure. [[It is for the best.->PastBlue]]

<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2a/f1/57/2af1574552f64c2292232cd7ce5ac8e0.jpg" width="30%" height="30%"> (if: $Strike is 1)[Behind you Blue continues to murmur quietly into her gag, but she lacks the means to make any real scene.](if: $Strike is 2)[Behind you Blue continues to pull against her bondage, seeking your attention, but you know all too well how completely she is restrained.](if: $Strike is 3)[Behind you Blue holds her posture despite the protestation you sense in the very air, her glossy form difficult to ignore out of the corner of your eye.] Before you the four doors marking the different paths out of the hallway await, while the message you had received lingers in your mind's eye. *Come upstairs,* it had read. Where did she mean? [[Head for the doorway furthest back, leading to the third floor.->ThirdFloorBlock]] [[Head for the clean room, perhaps you are to get changed?->ChangerBlock]] [[Head for the door to Cyn's apartment.->CynApart]] (if: $Yellow is true)[[[Head for the door to your own apartment.->CinniApart]]](else:)[[[Head for the door to Cinni's apartment.->CinniApart]]]

The doorway furthest back, the one that lead to the third floor of Cyn's home, is also the most ominous. You *know* what awaited up there, through that open portal. Cyn's dungeon. Filled with all her creations, her different means of lovingly tormenting and testing her girls. *You.* Hour upon hour, even days at a time have been spent up their, struggling and straining, lamenting your submission as readily as you *adore* it. The mere thought leads you to thinking of $Name. Of every terrible... every wonderful thing she could do to you, or *make* you do. All of it done with a full few of the world outside, provided as it was by the one-way windows that surrounded that level. While serving you could always look down to the streets below, see others going about their days, clueless and so very free-- while you were bound and gagged, enslaved and tormented... It takes you a moment to collect yourself as you step back, shaking your helmeted head. This wasn't the right path, of course. Not for the moment. One of Cyn's numerous rules was that no one went up there without her accompaniment. Part of that was simple safety, the allure of self bondage could be dangerous... but mostly it was just how she liked it. Cyn would have been quite disappointed if you discovered a surprise before it was ready. Turning back to the hallway, you make another choice. [[Head for the clean room, perhaps you are to get changed?->ChangerBlock]] [[Head for the door to Cyn's apartment.->CynApart]] (if: $Yellow is true)[[[Head for the door to your own apartment.->CinniApart]]](else:)[[[Head for the door to Cinni's apartment.->CinniApart]]]

The door into the clean room is double-wide and frosted, a pane of heavy glass that could be made transparent from a command within. As it stands however the portal is occluded, and when you pull upon the handle it does not give. That was to be expected-- it was unlocked most days, but not while she was... playing. Then it remained sealed until she directly unlocked it, another reminder to her girls that they could not escape their slave suits once installed within them. Not without her consent. Stepping back, you will need to make another choice. [[Head for the doorway furthest back, leading to the third floor.->ThirdFloorBlock]] [[Head for the door to Cyn's apartment.->CynApart]] (if: $Yellow is true)[[[Head for the door to your own apartment.->CinniApart]]](else:)[[[Head for the door to Cinni's apartment.->CinniApart]]]

The entrance to Cyn's apartment stands open and slightly ajar, the sound of quiet music drifting out. This *had* to be where Cyn expected to meet you. You could always check the other rooms now, but once you entered this one, knowing your Mistress, she would monopolize your time entirely. [[Head inside.->CynApartIntro]] [[Head for the doorway furthest back, leading to the third floor.->ThirdFloorBlock]] [[Head for the clean room, perhaps you are to get changed?->ChangerBlock]] (if: $Yellow is true)[[[Head for the door to your own apartment.->CinniApart]]](else:)[[[Head for the door to Cinni's apartment.->CinniApart]]]

The door to (if: $Yellow is true)[your](else:)[Cinni's] apartment is unlocks as you approach, a small greeting message displayed upon your visor(if: $Yellow is true)[ and read aloud]. Trust and thus access was always shared between Cyn's girls, and the fully clean-room certified apartment was frequently used by anyone needing some time outside their suit. Synching everyone up to share the environment had taken a bit of time, and a half dozen rounds of antibiotics, but the end result was certainly worth it-- it remained just about the only place on Hyetiana where you could go without a suit for some time. That said, it clearly wasn't where Cyn would be waiting. She had indicated you should come find her upstairs, and if she were spending time inside she would certainly have alerted you. Stepping back, you decide to go elsewhere in that moment. [[Head for the doorway furthest back, leading to the third floor.->ThirdFloorBlock]] [[Head for the clean room, perhaps you are to get changed?->ChangerBlock]] [[Head for the door to Cyn's apartment.->CynApart]]

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/JO0E2wz.jpg" width="70%" height="70%"> The scene upon which you enter is best described as *cozy*. Through the large windows looking out over the street below snow continues to fall, each corner of the pane already filled with lingering frost, but within Cyn's apartment everything is warm, inviting, and a bit messy. The living room and kitchen greet you, each decorated for the holiday. Bright clear lights along where wall met ceiling are joined by little figurines scattered about, some Cyn had once described as reindeer, while the centerpiece of it all is a Christmas tree-- or at least a facsimile, given the cost importing from Earth would have otherwise required. The festive atmosphere is matched by the human music playing over the apartment's speakers, something about a living snow golem named Frosty. (if: $Red is false)[Shunne is present in the kitchen, an apron tied around her waist, wrist deep in sudsy water at the sink. She's cleaning up the remains of what had to have been dinner, if the processor on the counter is any indication, its mulching capabilities often used when preparing food for ingesting through a mask. Noticing your arrival, however, she breaks from her work to wave a three fingered hand in greeting. "Ah, (if: $Blue is true)[Sava! You made it. Cyn told me your studies had kept you late. I commend your dedication.](if: $Yellow is true)[Cinni! I was beginning to fear we would need to send someone to track you down.](if: $Silver is true)[Jino! I am glad to see your boat finally got in.] We saved you a portion of the dinner, a rather fetching selection of proteins that Cyn prepared herself! I'm sure you're hungry. (if: $Yellow is false)[Cinni? Say hello.]"] As Shunne dries off her hands, (if: $Yellow is false)[another mask peeks up over the couch's side. [[...Yellow?->MeetYellow]]](else:)[she rounds the counter to approach. [[You smile, forgetting your mask hides it.->IsYellow]]]

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/mpXKBcm.png" width="30%" height="30%"> "Oh, heya $Name!" She may be wearing her slave suit, but Cinni is neither bound nor gagged. The way she flops back onto the couch, hooved heels slung over the arm, indicates an exhaustion you're intimately familiar with. (if: $Red is false)["She just got released from service," Shunne explains, rounding the counter to join you.](else:)[She must have just been released from service.] Certainly she looks the part, her glossy breasts rising and falling sharply, as if she were still catching her breath. That tended to happen after an extended session-- it was how you had been taught to breathe, to enable the longer sessions of intensive work Cyn sometimes required. Certainly she had no qualms being so very exposed in your presence, but that was to be expected-- of all of Cyn's girls, she took most naturally to being dressed and treated as a slave. (if: $Red is false)["Let her rest," Shunne consoles, drawing you to the side with a gesture. Her matronly form, even in her regular suit, still stands out in stark contrast to your own-- and its a testament to Cyn's training that you notice it so readily as you draw closer to her. "How are you doing, (if: $Blue is true)[Sava?](else:)[Jino?] You know how I worry." [["I'm good, Shunne."->GoodShu]] [["Just fine."->FineShu]] [["I'm eager to get into harness."->EagerShu]]](else:)[Still, Cinni rouses herself somewhat, her mask still opaque as she turns to look at you. "I know, Shunne, I know. You're about to tell me to go get changed, but I was told *not* to. Just taking a moment... mmmhm..." The thought of what she had endured threatened to distract her, but the girl prevails. "Ah, um... Mistress told me that she left some Christmas dinner for us on the counter over there. If you want some. Oh, yes!" Her VI must have chimed in with a reminder, the way she tips her head, as if listening. "Mistress also said she had a task for you!" [["A task?"->ExplainFeed]]]

"It is always good to see you Cinni," Shunne continues, drawing you to the side with a gesture. Her matronly form, even in her regular suit, still stands out in stark contrast to your own-- and its a testament to Cyn's training that you notice it so readily as you draw closer to her. "How have things been, lately? You know how I worry." [["I'm good, Shunne."->GoodShu]] [["Just fine."->FineShu]] [["I'm eager to get into harness."->EagerShu]]

"I'm glad to hear that." Shunne truly sounds like she does. "This human holiday may still be a little strange, but I do appreciate how orientated it is on family. It is good that we can have everyone here, together. Even if that involves..." Most would have struggled to follow, but you can read the anticipation in her body language as if she had spoken it aloud. You feel it too-- Cyn always took advantage of her girls being together, and this undoubtedly would be not exception. Shunne clearly picks up on your shared response, and nods. "Cyn is upstairs, preparing... for us both. All of us, in fact. (if: $Blue is false)[I'm certain you passed Blue in the hall, if she is still there? ]Cinni has been in the harness since this morning, but Cyn gave her leave to come at eat some of the Christmas dinner. (if: $Silver is false)[Silver is here too, out in the stables. Cyn told me she wasn't being given the same opportunity. Knowing Jino... its probably a *reward* of some sort. Ah, speaking of which...

Before you do, though, Cyn had a task for you.] [["A task?"->ExplainFeed]]

"I hope nothing is the matter," Shunne replies, truly sounding concerned. "This human holiday may still be a little strange, but I do appreciate how orientated it is on family. It is good that we can have everyone here, together. Even if that involves..." Most would have struggled to follow, but you can read the anticipation in her body language as if she had spoken it aloud.

"Well, you will not be gearing up before you eat, I will make sure of that," Shunne replies sternly, very much the motherly sort in that moment. "This human holiday may still be a little strange, but I do appreciate how orientated it is on family. It is good that we can have everyone here, together.

"I'll be going back into the harness in just a moment. Mistress allowed me to come and get some of that dinner she made, but she's waiting for me upstairs.

Perhaps most strikingly, there is no vid-screen present, your human consort never having picked up the habit. She was always working, either down in her store, up here in her workshop, or further up one more level... whip in hand. Still, given the season, its the Christmas decorations that dominate. [[Examine the Christmas tree, and its presents.->CTree]] [[Examine the sock-like decorations hanging on the wall.->CStockings]] [[Look out the windows.->Window]] [[Step back.->ApartHub]]

The kitchen is just as festive as the rest of the apartment, even the linens hanging near the sink featuring a smiling snowman upon them. Music is piped in from the speakers throughout, but its the radio set in the corner that you know to be the source. (if: $GotFeed is false)[This would be where you would find the slave feed you need for the stables.](else:)[Already you clutch the vial of slave food you would need for the stables.] (if: $FeedSelf is false)[Another vial occupies the counter, your promised dinner presumably.

Opening the door near the edge of the kitchen reveals the back half of the apartment, namely Cyn's shared workshop and bedroom space. (if: $Red is true)[You note with frustration her bed is unmade,](else:)[The unmade bed is usual for Cyn,] while the workshop's various half-completed projects speak to how busy the human kept herself. Roughly half appear related to her store proper, diving tanks being refitted, a neoprene suit being adjusted for custom measurement... but your keen eyes note a haptic panel open above the largest table, one word in particular sticking out in the heading: $Name. [[Check out that haptic display.->Screen]] [[Return to the rest of the apartment.->ApartHub]]

Concluding your time in the apartment, at least for now, you make for the door. (if: $Red is false)[(if: $GotFeed is false)[You barely have your hand upon the door before Shunne speaks up from the kitchen. "Forgetting something?

[[You exit.->ApartEnd]]]]

The Christmas Tree is a grand affair, about eight feet tall, its topmost bit nearly touching the ceiling. Your Mistress' touch is evident in every bit of it, from the lights being only four colors, red, blue, yellow, and a clearish silver, to the round ornaments hanging from the branches, again with the same colors with a fed added green and black ones. Even the presents beneath are color-coded, those that Cyn had made rather obvious that way. [[Step back.->LivingRoom]]

*Stockings* had been what Cyn called them. They certainly don't look like the sort Cyn wore on occasion, but you suppose this was a traditional design or some sort. There are seven, six of which are color coded and named: (colour: red)[Red], (colour: blue)[Blue], (colour: yellow)[Yellow], (colour: grey)[Silver], (colour: green)[Jade], and (colour: black)[Onyx]. The seventh also features a name, but one decidedly more regular: Ashletta. Each are stuffed, awaiting a glance inside. [[Take a peek in yours.->StockPeek]] [[Step back.->LivingRoom]]

Frost and snow cover much of the window, but stepping up close you can still gaze through readily. Overlooking the storefront below, you find the night darkening since your arrival, the streets all but empty except for a passing asari or two down below-- although bundled up as they are, they could be asari or batarian too. Otherwise there is not much else to see beyond the streetlight across the street, which highlights the continuing fall of snow. You're thankful in that moment for your suit, even the barest hint of chill kept at bay by its temperature regulators. Your *other* suit had much the same, but it always felt different to be standing out there in it... without coverings, effectively naked to your peoples' way of thinking. You notice you had begun to spread your legs, taking an equine waiting posture. [[With a smirk, you step back.->LivingRoom]]

Stepping up to the row of stockings, you lean forward, eying the one marked as $Name. (if: $Blue is true)[Inside you find a pair of wedge-shaped risers, the sort you wore while harnessed, but without the hoof-like design on the bottom. These are clearly designed for everyday wear with your current outfit, the same sort Shunne and Jino already wore at all times. Was this just a gift to used when you wanted... or was Cyn going to require them of you?](if: $Yellow is true)[Inside you find a bow, much like the one you wore while harnessed on the side of your helmet. This one however has writing along the trailing tassels, which your VI promptly reads for you: *My Yellow, Always Wet and Eager.*](if: $Red is true)[Inside you find two circular bits of jewelry, all of them a uniform red. You recognize them immediately as being much like the bands that held your mane into its usual high ponytail, and the same bit that kept your tail at such a jaunty angle. These however are inscribed, the lettering red on red, requiring you to lean in to read the four letters: MILF.](if: $Silver is true)[Inside you find a small box, within which rests a piece of jewelry. You recognize it immediately as a piercing, the thick metal much like the one you already wear in your septum. This one is just as domineering, but gleams in the light as you examine it-- until you realize the metal is inlaid with a series of gleaming silver diamonds.] [[Your Mistress always enjoyed giving presents. Step back.->LivingRoom]]

(if: $Music is false)[Cyn's playlist of Christmas music emerges softly from the player, as well as the surrounding speakers. The current song features a man reasserting that it is cold outside, a fact you can readily attest to.](else:)[Your choice of music plays from the speakers, as well as the player itself. Its definitely an improvement on that strange human music Cyn preferred.] (if: $Music is false)[[[Change the station to something better.->ChangeMusic]]](else:)[[[Change the music to Cyn's playlist.->MusicBack]]] [[Step back.->Kitchen]]

Cyn could rarely be call *organized* in most things, but her attention to detail when it came to her girls could always be counted upon. Thus you know to look in the cupboard above the sink for the required feed(if: $Red is false)[, a space Shunne vacates when you make your intentions known.] (if: $Silver is true or $Red is true)[Your height and risers make it easy enough to simply reach up and open the cupboard, within which you find a row of capsules awaiting you.](else:)[Your lack of height requires you pull out a small stepstool, but once atop that you can easily reach up and open the cupboard, within which you find a row of capsules awaiting you.] Each are labeled with a name, the mixture within specifically tailored to the diet of the slave. (if: $Silver is false)[Plucking one of Silver's out,](else:)[Plucking one of the few marked Onyx,] you close the cupboard and back away afterward. She would be in the stable then, presumably awaiting your arrival. It was always hard to tell time when in the harness, but she probably would have guessed it was about time, given ponies were always fed after the *people* were. (set: $GotFeed to true) [[Step back.->Kitchen]]

You find the promised dinner waiting in a port-ready capsule, the slurry within a brownish mash that most would probably have considered unappetizing-- but you're quite used to this manner of eating. Picking it up, you slot it into your mask with ease, waiting only for the tube to extend to your lips before you start sucking. The taste within is *exquisite*, although you struggle to place the exact flavors. Probably another adaption of Cyn's. She would probably never be a particularly good cook, but she knew to include meats whenever possible-- and that always helped. As you pop the emptied capsule off a few minutes later, (if: $Red is false)[Shunne looks over her shoulder with a smile in her eyes. Very good, isn't it? Well, I'm satisfied to see you taking your nutrition seriously. (if: $Silver is true)[I know you tend to prefer the slave feed, Jino... but it *is* a special occasion.](else:)[Growing girls need to *eat.*]](else:)[you find yourself sighing with delight. Cyn's diet for you was strictest, as necessary given your age compared to the others, but indulging on a holiday could hardly be wrong. And that *was* good.] (set: $FeedSelf to true) [[Step back.->Kitchen]]

"Hmm?" Shunne asks, cleaning another plate. "You should probably be focusing on getting to the stables, with the feed. I think we both know how it feels to be out there, at times. That sort of dinner is not particularly appetizing, but after a long day's march just feeling *full* is something to look forward to." [[Step back.->Kitchen]]

(if: $Blue is true)[Spinning the digital dial with an outstretched finger, you settle upon a classical asari station. A sonata of some sort you recognize. Glancing to your side Shunne had stopped humming, but she otherwise keeps her eyes on the dishes-- she seemed content either way.](if: $Yellow is true)[Spinning the digital dial with an outstretched finger, you settle upon a station going through the year's top 100 pop songs. Shunne ceases her humming as the tight beat overtakes the stolid Christmas music, her mask momentarily shifting your way. "I think I've heard my students listening to that one before."](if: $Red is true)[Spinning the digital dial with an outstretched finger, you settle upon a jazzy blues station which you are familiar with, the DJ being a rather untraditional Turian. The choice certainly matches the cozy feel of the rest of the room, although you're sure if Cinni was still about she would have disapproved-- far too stolid for her tastes.](if: $Silver is true)[Spinning the digital dial with an outstretched finger, you settle upon a pirate radio station you frequent while at sea. Inland a bit of static breaks up the feed, but the sultry purr of 'Abyssal 101.5' stirs you immediately. Shunne is less impressed, her mask turning to regard you for a moment. "Not very festive, Jino."] (set: $Music to true) [[Pull your hand back.->Music]] (if: $Blue is true)[[[Change the station to punk!->Punk]]]

Eschewing your previous choice, you set the player back to the playlist loaded into its chit, Cyn's selection of Christmas music returning. It may not be what you usually preferred, but you have to admit it fits the mood of the room in that moment. (set: $Music to false) [[Pull your hand back.->Music]]

With a quick glance towards Shunne you spin the dial once more, settling upon a wild punk station run by a pair of maiden asari somewhere on this planet. The writhing tune quickly grabs Shunne's attention, her motherly *tsk* the only reprimand she gives however. Clearly she won't be humming along to *that.* [[Pull your hand back.->Music]]

*Notes for $Name*, the full heading (if: $Yellow is false)[reads to your inquiring eyes.](else:)[reads, according to your VI] It appears to be a small list of things Cyn was working on with regards to you, or that she wished to remember: (if: $Blue is true)[1) Keep adjusting her diet, bust improvement continues. 2) Tweak her stallion.

It refuses to read it for you.](if: $Red is true)[1) Adjust corsetry a bit, should improve comfort *and* positioning of rear. 2) Lactation training continues to go well!

You find the hallway empty, (if: $Blue is false)[Blue no longer occupying the hitching post further down. Cyn had undoubtedly come for her.](else:)[just as you had found it earlier.] You glance towards the stairs leading up to the third level, where Cyn was apparently preparing, but eventually turn in the opposite direction. Moving to the staircase you had earlier ascended, you return to the store level, then to the door beneath the staircase. This one opens into a small antechamber, several of Cyn's coats lining the walls, before a final door opens at your approach to reveal fluttering snow. [[You enter the backyard.->Backyard]]

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/4Dy031R.jpg" width="70%" height="70%"> Given that Cyn had purchased her store and home prior to any pony shenanigans, mere luck had seen her owning a large backyard. It stretches out before you, almost uniformly snow-covered. A path has been plowed through it, undoubtedly by one of the other ponies, but the fresh storm is working on erasing that work. Soon it would need to be repeated. As it stands you follow it readily, the tall fences lining the yard preventing any neighbor from looking in-- a necessity, given the training that often went on back here. The stable only takes a minute to reach, nestled in the back corner of the lot. It had been an oversized she once, but Cyn had converted it into her stables, the home of her girls-- *your* home-- when fully geared. Prying open one of the doors is easy enough, your (if: $Silver is true or $Red is true)[risers snapping upon the concrete floor](else:)[feet padding upon the concrete floor] as you step inside. It is nearly as cold within, Cyn had no need to heat it when her sort of ponies were fully suited. [[You proceed down the rows.->StableIntro]]

The stable is divided into eight cells of equal size, none of them particularly large. Instead of barn doors or bars however, a more modern approach is taken, each door being a full-sized video display of the space within. This allows each interior to be checked with barely a glance, as well as providing feeds that Cyn could access at each time. Large digital labels mark each door, noting the cell's intended inhabitant, although most are empty, and two are unlabeled and unused. [[Approach your own cell.->OwnCell]] (if: $Silver is false)[[[Besides Silver, another cell is occupied....->Onyx]]](else:)[[[Approach Onyx's cell.->MeetFeed]]] (if: $Silver is false)[[[Approach Silver's cell.->MeetFeed]]]

You know exactly which cell is your own by heart now, the $Name labeled upon the door hardly necessary. Still, its a bit demeaning to see it there, marking the cell inside which you have spent so much time. Like the others it is bare and unadorned, white tiling on all walls, ceiling, and floor broken only by a drain in the middle. A larger tile near the backwall was actually a bed, padded but not altogether comfortable. The only other adornment is a streak of $Name color about two-thirds up the wall, running horizontally upon all four sides. The back wall also features your name painted in white upon the streak, so that even at night, when looking up at the ceiling, you could never forget what you are. How soon until you're locked within once more? (if: $Silver is false)[[[Besides Silver, another cell is occupied....->Onyx]]](else:)[[[Approach Onyx's cell.->MeetFeed]]] (if: $Silver is false)[[[Approach Silver's cell.->MeetFeed]]]

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/AlXgLDj.png" width="30%" height="30%"> The woman you find within Onyx's cell is, as always, *breathtaking.* While you and Cyn's girls were certainly nothing to scoff at, when it came to looks, Onyx is on another level entirely. At 6'4" before her heels she is simply larger than anyone else, a fact that follows through in everyone of her proportions. Hips, bust, rear-- her every curve screams of sensuality restrained. Perhaps more impressively, or terrifyingly given what it entailed, Onyx lived the full lifestyle. She was a slave every waking moment of her life, and while you've seen her occasionally unbound for a few minutes, she is otherwise always heavily restrained and within her suit. Cyn had mentioned once she was nearing 30 years old, and had been in her relationship with Vorane for a decade already-- sleeping in stables, being fed nothing but slave feed, trained and punished accordingly daily. Your own Mistress, Cyn, had briefly experimented with a similar lifestyle... but Vorane had recognized her domineering tendencies, and supported her in exploring that role instead. Onyx had never had the opportunity, by all accounts had never *wanted* that opportunity. (if: $Blue is true)[You enjoy your time as $Name, but such a life... the very idea remains unthinkable to you.](if: $Yellow is true)[You are always happiest as $Name, but Cyn is always quite clear with you that such a lifestyle would not be in your best interest... even if it continues to intrigue greatly.](if: $Red is true)[You cannot help but find yourself intrigued at times, thinking what it would be like to be $Name... permanently.](if: $Silver is true)[To make of $Name a life, to *be* such a creature forever more... the desire burns within you fiercely.

As the tallest of Cyn's girls, just over six feet tall before counting her heels, she certainly makes a strong first impression. Her body is lean but not hard, her curves cultivated just as readily as your own or the others. She may be less bountiful than Red, but she by far the strongest, and while you would never admit it... the most dedicated too. That was why she was here, locked in a cell, while the others had enjoyed their Christmas meal. Silver did not live a full lifestyle as a pony, but she *wanted* to, even if getting her talk about it while living just as *Jino* always proved impossible. Only Cyn could get her talking, most days. Still, here she is in her element, pacing in strict bondage. Each step is restricted by the hobble between her legs, while she wears a full harness otherwise, including armbinder. Her mane and tail are both braided, the former pulled down over one shoulder. Growing it to such a length must have taken her so much time, only for Cyn to fashion it into a wig for her helmet, leaving her perpetually shaved within... a tactic you all now share. Her suit is so clean, so smooth, gleaming in full silver. You cannot help but stare...] [[With a shake of the head, you try to focus. You're just here to feed her after all.->MeetFeed2]]

Pressing your hand to the door's control panel, you find it already awaiting you, the haptic emitters in your gloves allowing you to sync with yet another small portion of Cyn's networked home. Instead of opening the door completely to instruct it to break in half, the upper half receding slickly into the ceiling. (if: $Silver is true)[The movement catches Onyx's eye immediately, although she holds her submissive pose, only turning when she realizes you are not her owner. Still, outside of your own suit you are far and away her superior. She makes that known by standing, the only one to tower above you, then bows at the waist in greeting. The maneuver buts her heavy chest on display, her mane sliding off her shoulder to hang nearly to her knees. The posture is perfect, but you sense something else in her body language... amusement. She was always this way, seeing you as *Jino* instead of Silver. It was always a bit aggrevating.](else:)[The movement catches Silver's eye immediately, her pacing ceasing.

You know the expectations as readily as the pony before you, given your own training. Repetition was how Cyn instructed, how she truly *broke* you all to her whip. Everything became ritualized as a result, including feeding. (if: $Silver is true)[Onyx certainly recognizes it, her right leg snapping up immediately.

Already halved, the bottom portion's uppermost edge recedes in a semicircle, forming an indentation. A glance down through the display that still showed on the outside of the door reveals a pair of posts rising from the floor within the cell. The usual feeding restraints.

(if: $Silver is true)[Onyx remains silent and still at that. Knowing the slave, you almost doubt your own words.

Years of experience with Cyn's suit designs allows you to attach the vial beneath her mask without even looking. When you pull your hands back the meal remains, the thick white liquid within shifting as the slave begins sucking. As you stand back, you cross your arms, waiting and watching. It was always so demeaning to be fed this way, but only rarely did you get to observe, instead of undergoing the treatment yourself. (if: $Silver is true)[Within her mask you know Onyx's bridle, gag, and tongue suppressor would remain engaged. By training away her gag reflex a pony could be still fed by slotting the feed tube alongside the bit's path through her teeth, the back-most molars removed to allow its passage and secure placement. Sucking hard allowed her to thus eat, although the effect is little more than the sensation of the thick goo running down her throat. It was formulated to have the consistency of semen of course, but was spiked with a full cocktail of nutrients.

(if: $Silver is true)[Haste and anticipation drive you now. Pulling the feed vial out from Onyx's mask, you toss it into a nearby bin, then quickly instruct the door to release her.

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/LohiqsA.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"> As promised, your Mistress waits within the antechamber of the back door, dressed quite festively. She always wore latex when working with her girls, and today is no exception-- although her ensemble is little more than lingerie. If she was choosing to favor one of her girls she would often wear their color, but the red she bears now is clearly for Christmas alone. "Hey, $Name..." she grins as you step inside, eyes alight with mischief. (if: $Silver is false)["You brought Silver, too. I'll take her."

"Given that you're late, I think I'm just about *done* waiting." Her amusement is obvious, the smile never fading from her mocha-colored face. French-Caribbean ancestry had always made Cyn Sauveterre look exotic to you, when your own people were so uniformly pale. Perhaps that was why she took such delight in color coding you? Either way, just as you step forward to follow her arm, she blocks you. "Wait-- *one* question before you begin." [["...yes, Mistress?"->Feed5]] [["Of course...?"->Feed5]]

Standing at her side, you note a sense of disappointment in Silver's body language. Your Mistress makes it even more apparent, but her touch upon your chin is gentle. "Of course.

As (colour: red)[Red] she is a faceless slave, her mask opaque, her long high ponytail forming a mane that sticks out prominently behind her-- much like her tail, emerging as it does from her rear plug. Always the most volumptuous of Cyn's girls, Red's uniform makes that evident in her matronly bust and wide, fertile hips. Her corset only furthers the look, as do her heels, the gravity design giving her hooves-- and forcing her permanently upon her toes. "Mmmmgh..." The greeting is all she can manage, undoubtedly fully gagged beneath her mask. She pulls against her restraints, the harness and armbinder most prominent, but achieves little.

The older pony moans quietly, but its her body language that truly speaks-- the way her knees begin to come together before she corrects herself, spreading her legs. She was *very* ready. She remains on her hitching post as you pass, though, your mind very much set. Within a few steps the clean room looms before you, not even a hand needing to reach out for the door to whisk open. Glancing back once more at Red, you step forward, eager to join her. [[The door closes, locks, and pressurizes...->Dressed3]]

The young pony nods readily, her knees even kicking up in a stationary high step as she stands proudly at attention. Yellow was ready to serve. She remains on her hitching post as you pass, though, your mind very much set. Within a few steps the clean room looms before you, not even a hand needing to reach out for the door to whisk open. Glancing back once more at Red, you step forward, eager to join her. [[The door closes, locks, and pressurizes...->Dressed3]]

The other pony pulls gently against her leash, unable to reply. What would she say? You've seen each other in such suits countless times, she *knew* you wanted to be just like her-- and you make immediate good on that fact, passing her with barely a further half glance. The clean room looms before you, not even a hand needing to reach out for the door to whisk open. [[The door closes, locks, and pressurizes...->Dressed3]]

The other pony balks, but then submits, raising a knee into a frozen highstep as you pass. Such a posture would shove her plugs up further into her holes, but that hardly bothers you-- not when you're so keen on joining her. Passing by, the clean room looms before you, not even a hand needing to reach out for the door to whisk open. [[The door closes, locks, and pressurizes...->Dressed3]]

You know what to expect inside: simple white panels, arrayed in a hex formation. As the machine spools up, pumping in an atmosphere free from the microbes that could sicken you so eagerly, armatures deploy from the walls. They would be doing all the work to Cyn's exacting specifications, you merely need to relax, allowing them all the access they need-- and much is required. Peeling off your everyday suit is difficult enough, tight as it is, but the room manages it-- then promptly stores it securely, ready for your *eventual* return. The new suit it applies is... so much more though. It takes time, nearly twenty minutes, to put everything in place. But as the final seals are confirmed, a dozen different locks put into place, your straps tightened and bit set firmly in place... you are made whole again. Stripped of your identity, assigned a *color*, you emerge... [[As the leash at your throat guides you along the wall.->Dressed4]]

From the tips of your hooves to the crest of your mane, your glossy form is wholly and entirely $Name. Without even the barest of coverings you have been reduced to your suit alone, which in turn has been tuned towards a sexuality so blatant as to be numbing. You are sealed in without a face, your mask set to its opaque setting, denying even the usual sight of your eyes. From your helmet your mane emerges, (if: $Blue is true)[a swept back mohawk that ends in a long ponytail secured by a bright blue bow.](if: $Yellow is true)[a short design, swept to the side, your 'bare' side decorated with a prim little bow.](if: $Red is true)[a swept back ponytail, tight up and high, allowing the red strands to cascade down your back.](if: $Silver is true)[a thickly braided look that is tied off near the bottom with a silvered bow.] Your chest and rear are emphasized by the tight embrace of a corset built into your suit, the former decorated by nipple piercings that are so very obvious through the glossy material. Like any quarian you are wide hipped, but as one of Cyn's girls a triangular gap below your womanhood and between your thighs has been carefully cultivated. Even your powerful thighs can no longer rub together up there, denying you any sense of satisfaction. Your arms are unable to reach the area either, secured into a strict armbinder as they are, the supporting straps linking with the pony harness you wear. Even *standing* is a fresh experience, as you do so solely on your toes, gravity heels lacking any support at the back perching you atop hooves that are freshly shod-- each step marked with a metallic clop. Yet such things are only visible, as within you are fully integrated with your suit. Most prominently there are your plugs, an anal intruder that anchors your tail, and a larger *stallion* lodged between your legs. Each of Cyn's girls had a stallion programmed with a custom AI, intended to represent a different manner of mate. Yours is named (if: $Blue is true)[(colour: blue)[Indigo], a male of great experience, always demanding more of you then you could provide.](if: $Yellow is true)[(colour: yellow)[Gold], a raw and savage male who seemed to take pleasure in denying to the sensation when possible.](if: $Red is true)[(colour: red)[Crimson,] a young male, greatly inexperienced and rarely capable of satisfying your mature needs.](if: $Silver is true)[(colour: grey)[Pewter], a slow and ponderous male, claiming your womanhood entirely while teasing relentlessly.] Even when your stallions stood dormant the dual plugs remained, making every step a frustrating journey. To those who looked between your legs however, Cyn had made sure to keep their thick bases well integrated with your suit, leaving a smooth and alluring expanse. While your septum piercing is merely decorative, a reminder of what you are, your nipple and tongue piercings are both fully integrated with your suit. The former tugs and pulls with every shifting of your breasts, while also providing for any programmed vibrations, stimulation, or cruel shocks. Your tongue piercing meanwhile is an important part of your gag system, by connecting with the tongue suppressor now installed, a form-fitted plate that pressed down and sealed your tongue against the bottom of your mouth. Dental work had removed your rearmost molars, allowing for your bit to be seated deep in your mouth, the leads passing through your helmet so your reins could still pull easily upon them. When totally engaged and secured as it is now, your gag system prevents anything like proper words, leaving you at best with mewls and moans that must still pass through your mask's speakers. Not only does your mask feature the ability to blind and silence you, it also monitors your every suit reading, and regulates your breathing-- restraining it when at rest, forcing you work for every breath, while automatically adjusting while on the march. Internal blinders restrict your gaze forward, while (if: $Yellow is false)[you now join Cinni in illiteracy, your visor scrambling any words you look at.

Bound, gagged, harnessed, restrained. Plugged, pierced, glossy, gleaming. Every shift of your hips moves your plugs, every breath comes up against your mask and corset, teases your breasts. Your every sense is hypercharged and yet bound, enslaved to the suit and the woman who held its controls. Cyn. *Your Mistress.* You are her $Name once again.

It is no longer opaque however, and in that glass you see your reflection so very well. You are $Name. In every sense of the word. One of Cyn's girls, but each of you *were* a bit different. The suits may be mostly the same, but she *liked* the individuality that was still apparent in you each. As $Name, (if: $Blue is true)[you are the youngest of her girls, your 18th birthday still just under a year past. In that time under your Mistress' guidance and diet you have filled out, but are still the slimmest, your bust in particular only average at best. Still, your grace and cleverness make you particularly skilled at displays of dexterity, and you've become Cyn's most beloved show pony. Public performances would come in time, but for now you practice your routines relentlessly, while also being trained to accept the touch of others readily. That last bit was hard, your temper and youth often got the best of you, but Cyn would not be deterred. Bit by bit she was breaking you, ensuring that when the time came you would give yourself freely, moaning with eager desire as strangers put their hands between your legs.](if: $Yellow is true)[you have a reputation for boundless energy. At 20 years old only Blue is younger, but unlike her you have taken to the bridle with ferocious enthusiasm. You feel *best* in your harness, doing whatever it was your Mistress commanded of you. Sometimes that was dance and show performances, other times she put your fervor to work on long haul carriage pulls. Either way you do well, if not altogether excelling. And Cyn has certainly sculpted you for such roles, rounding out your chest, ensuring your hips are nice and wide-- a good diet could do *wonders*, especially after a childhood of little nutrition.](if: $Red is true)[you are the oldest of her girls, 36 years and a doctorate never stopping you from serving in the harness. Your maternal age matches your proportions, your bust the larges, your hips the widest. In the team you serve as Silver's second, supporting her efforts and helping control the younger girls, but Cyn has also put you to use in a far more embarrassing role-- as a breeder. Nature and training have left you particularly fertile, and your Mistress enjoys playing with you in such roles, simulating the breeding experience. She has even stimulated you to lactation, an annoyance you must deal with even when not serving... but you *had* volunteered for the experience first.](if: $Silver is true)[you are the most experienced of Cyn's girls, the first she met, the first she collared and enslaved. Your day job as an underwater welder in Hyetiana's oceans have left you with a powerful yet lean physique, your strength and endurance far outstripping any of the others. Everything the others have done you first pioneered, and suit settings remain the most demanding by far. She has broken you, your human Mistress, entirely. Among the others your long periods in the stables are perhaps most noteworthy, weeks stretching into months if you can manage it, and you even restrict yourself to slave feed even while not serving.] (set: $Strike to it + 1) You are as your Mistress made you.

The braided cord linking you to the hitching post is a brilliant $Name, matching your uniform, although Cyn always went above and beyond-- the interior strands were probably steel. Tugging and pulling against it with all your might(if: $Silver is true)[, and yours in particular is considerable], achieves little. It does leave you panting through your mask though, your gagged and locked down mouth forcing every breath to emerge from your nose, the septum piercing you bear all the more evident in that moment. Simply *removing* the leash from the wall would have been easier. The hitching point is a simple steel circle, the end of your leash looped around it and secure by a simple mag-lock. Undoing that would have been trivial... if you had any use of your hands, or even your mouth to bite and pull. But your armbinder and mask prevent any such ideas, leaving you in the end merely frustrated.

It is hard to overstate just how all-encompassing your bondage is. Your suit itself is just as much a restraint as the harnessed layered over it, the heavy straps crisscrossing your gleaming form. Bending over at the waist to wriggle your shoulders and arms shifts your breasts, the piercings in each nipple tugging playfully in a manner that sees you exhale sharply. Raising back to your full height you then twist and turn, seeking anything like a moment's respite from your predicament. That only sees your mane shifting, your tail flicking alongside your hips-- and of course everything drives your dual plugs deeper into your defenseless holes. Not only are you failing to escape, or even find a bit of mercy in your bondage, but you're actively making it worse-- the desire building between your legs could never be easily sated by yourself, given your bondage. That meant relying on your Mistress, of course... and Cyn *liked* to see you wet and eager. After a full days in your slave suit you *know* you will do just about anything for the chance to orgasm. It just felt so **good.** (set: $Strike to it + 1) (if: $Strike is < 4)[[[Observe yourself in the reflection of the clean room's door.->Reflection]] [[Pull against your leash.->PullLeash]] [[Cry out!->Yell]] [[Try to press your inserts against something, anything!->PressInserts]]](else:)[[The sound of footsteps approaching draws your eyes to the stairway leading up...->CynArrives]]]

*"Mmmmmmmmmmmmghhh!"* That is not a sentence, nor even a word. Speech was something *people* were capable of, but you are no such thing. As $Name you are a thing, at best a pet, your desires and needs expressed by action alone. In fact what you manage through your gag is simply a *moan*, hungry and eager in a way that could still bring a blush to the cheeks hidden behind the pane of your helmet's faceplate. Among your people sexuality was something addressed carefully, if ever, but as a pony... as $Name... it is your every waking moment. There is a pure sort of solace in remembering that. Fighting one's sense of shame was a constant battle, but it could so often be pressed down, forced into the quiet recesses of your mind. Once there, you could simply be-- following your reins, listening to commands, displaying yourself readily. You're just an animal as $Name, and your Mistress certainly preferred when you were open about your needs, even if it so often came down to simple sexual frustration. By admitting that truth, you served better, pleased your Mistress more throughly-- and that in turn earned you rewards. Well, when Cyn was in a charitable mood at least. (set: $Strike to it + 1) (if: $Strike is < 4)[[[Observe yourself in the reflection of the clean room's door.->Reflection]] [[Pull against your leash.->PullLeash]] [[Struggle against your harness.->Struggle]] [[Try to press your inserts against something, anything!->PressInserts]]](else:)[[The sound of footsteps approaching draws your eyes to the stairway leading up...->CynArrives]]]

Desire drives you as you turn, looking down the hallway, pulling against your reins as you seen out something, anything, that protruded nearby. *That* was how you could best achieve pleasure, you knew that, even if admitting it could be terribly embarrassing. Without arms you could only ever hump something, pressing your sealed cunt against a pad, or another pony's thigh-- but even that only provided so much. Your suit's outer layer remained one of Cyn's greatest technical achievements, the material so slick as to be almost frictionless. Most things simply glided off it, and even the touch of another remained somewhat fleeting. You find nothing to hump, though. The wall near you is smooth, and your lead is too short to allow you approach anything else. Cyn *knew* better than to give you the opportunity, even if you were liable to be punished for trying. That was another realization you would need to come to terms with, as you reacclimated to your suit-- that pleasure only came from one of two sources. Your stallion gave some as much as it tortured you, and while pleasing it was always a struggle you could earn rewards when that occurred. Otherwise there was your Mistress, who's hands always roamed freely, her curiosity and enthusiasm boundless-- and equally frustrating. But that was a pony's lot, was it not? Eternal frustration. It kept you on your toes as much as your boots did.

The footsteps emerging from the staircase to the third floor, Cyn's dungeon, are sharp clicks-- and not the heavier clop of a pony's hooves. It *had* to be your Mistress.

"I had forgotten, my $Name cannot read. She has only ever thought with her cunt, is that not true?" She pats your flank, her fingers gliding along your suit, then leans in. "The others are waiting for you, $Name. Just upstairs. Are you ready to begin?" Yes. Yes!!!

Your restraints allow you little room to wander, but you use what remains as best you can, pressing forward, into her touch. Cyn rarely turned down her girls' affection, and this instance is no different-- she settles her hands on your corseted waist, pointedly ignoring the way you try to draw her hands down to the gap between your thighs. When she *does* finally slide down, she pats your flank, her fingers gliding along your suit, then leans in. "The others are waiting for you, $Name. Just upstairs. Are you ready to begin?" Yes. Yes!!! No! {(click-replace: "Yes.")[[["Mmgh."->GoingUp]]] (click-replace: "Yes!!!")[[["Mmmmmmmmgh!!!->GoingUp]]] (click-replace: "No!")[[["Nnghh."->GoingUp]]]}

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/LohiqsA.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"> "That sounded like a *yes*, $Name," Cyn laughs, already reaching for your reins. Its a testament to just how helpless you were that she has you free from the wall in moments. Tugging sharply, she tips her head towards the door, the fluffy ball at the end of her hat trailing off her shoulder. "Come on." It is hard to not stare at her mocha skin, so much of it exposed by what barely passed as lingerie, but the stairs keep your harness. Without arms to balance you, and perched atop such demanding heels, you need to watch your footing carefully. Cyn is quietly observant too, just in case you fell, but you make it up to the third story landing without incident. There a door awaits you, heavy and unyielding. *SLAVE ACCESS DENIED* The warning pings across your mask, only for it to be quickly overridden by Cyn's touch. With a resounding *thud* the lock disengages, and together you push into your Mistress' playroom. It is mostly as you last remember it. Implements of play in Cyn's parlance could easily also be labeled for torture, and your Mistress' handiness with torch and hammer combined with a ferocious creativity resulted in all manner of devices and constructs within the large and open room. Wooden and steel horses, treadmills, setups for predicament bondage and long-term restraint... the options are endless. All of it is framed by snow falling in the background, as the room largely lacks walls, having instead floor to ceiling windows. They're one-way, those out on the street could see nothing, but within the dungeon you could *always* look out. It is near the back of the room, by one such run of windows, that you see the others. Your team. [[Standing in formation.->Play1]]

Before your blinders intrude you catch her glancing up at you, her own posture straightening a bit to match your own.] Once in place Cyn begins linking your harness to the straps descending from above, a simple enough affair that requires only a half dozen buckles. Once she steps back, circling the team to move between where you all stood looking and the nearby window, you feel yourself taking a deep breath. You're one of four now, a color-coded set of faceless ponies. Each of you are bound and restrained, plugged, your every biological response and function being monitored. You have no means of resistance, no chance of escape. The woman before you, her festive garb gleaming as she projects four sets of color-coordinated controls before her, owned you. Dominated you. [[Utterly and completely.->Play2]]

Always one for a bit of theater, Cyn pauses to look you all over, her green eyes wide and eager. "Good evening, slaves," she begins, biting her bottom lip afterward. The first minutes of any session were often like this, where Cyn's adoration for her girls threatened to overwhelm her. But she always overcame it too, as she does now before continuing. "I can see all your cunts are already wet, but please try to focus for a minute? As I mentioned to each of you, I had planned on playing with my girls for a large part of the next few weeks... and here you are all, enslaved and in your proper places. You will not be allowed breaks from your service throughout, and you will be treated as you deserve-- as animals, residing in my stables when I do not care to play with you." She glances down, looking to the different controls and readouts positioned around her. (if: $Blue is true)[Silver has agreed to all three weeks. Red, also three.

"We will be starting with a march, on stimulation curricle settings. For those of you too wet to remember what is expected of you... that will be a trot, full high step of course. Your stallions will be simulating as if a cock were mounted to a bar between your legs, plunging into you with *every step.*" Her smile widens. "Cumming is strictly prohibited. As is slowing down, or failing to hold your pose. You will be marching until midnight, in roughly... six hours." Cyn looks to the opaque mask of each her girls, a shiver of excitement running down your spine as her gaze briefly settles on you. Just as quickly she moves on however, a reminder that you are hardly alone in your predicament. "Do my ponies understand?" She asks, raising her voice. "Moan like a bitch in heat if you do." [[You moan, without reservation.->Play3]]

You join with your fellow ponies in moaning lewdly, four sets of tails swishing back and forth. Cyn drinks it all in eagerly, again biting her bottom lip as all four women before her submit so eagerly. You are about to be force marched, for hours, while being *tormented* by the cock installed between your legs. And you cannot shake your enthusiasm. "Good girls," your Mistress shouts back, as she presses the button before you. "Have fun~..." Immediately you feel a sharp pain across your flanks, your experience as a pony identifying it as a whip-- or at least a simulated one, your suit's electro-stimulus suite being quite intensive. It certainly spurs you forward, the others on your team undoubtedly feeling the same as they too take their first steps. The treadmills move of their own accord, silently providing fresh road as you begin high-stepping, facilitating your endless march in place. The movement spurs the bells arranged around your harness to being announcing themselves, a fact that's quadrupled by the other members of your team. Cyn claps her hands together, clearly amused. "I don't have reindeer, exactly... but my girls certainly perform just as well. How very festive! Hehe." [["Mmmmghhhhh...."->Play4]]

The treadmill beneath you dictated the speed at which you march, a comfortable trot that you just *know* will turn grueling after a few hours. For now however you merely keep pace, focusing more on your high step, posture being just as important as the actual walking. Each step sees your knee come up nice and high, stretching the hobble between your legs. You know you've done well if the chain doesn't go taut, but nearly so, the length allowed to your gait set by Cyn's ever exacting measurements. The blinders within your helmet, square-shaped panels that extend out to each side of your head, keep your gaze focused forward-- but you do get glimpses of the other members of your team. (if: $Silver is false)[Silver is of course the very picture of dedication and poise, her powerful legs nevertheless just as restrained as your own.] (if: $Blue is false)[Blue marches gamely, her hips sashaying a bit more than any other others. As Cyn's most practiced show pony, it just came naturally to her now.] (if: $Yellow is false)[Yellow has a particular spring in her step, and an eagerness her restraints must control-- she's clearly punished at least once by an automated shock when she tries to march *too* quickly.] (if: $Red is false)[Red keeps a sharp poise, her movements the tightest, the most considered-- although you know that once you've gotten going for awhile she will loosen up, matched to her growing sexual desire.] Altogether you must be quite the quartet, latex-coated bodies gleaming, chains and bells jingling merrily, incapable of speech or resistance. It certainly seems to please Cyn. As she often did during your longer marches she lingers only for a bit, then moves to the side and behind. You're incapable of looking back, to see if she remained. Always she would be monitoring her team, ensuring their safety, but she certainly *seemed* to like leaving you alone with your thoughts on a long march.

Cyn has always made sure you are well practiced in this particular art, and she favored long marches early in a period of enslavement to push you into submission. Certainly the repetition has its effect. Left leg up, high stepping, before planting it back down. The movement drives your stallion deep inside you, while behind even your rear plug moves, the tail that is anchored to it flicking back and forth. Then its the right's turn, repeating the movement. All throughout you keep your back straight, your eyes up and looking forward. Marching, ever marching. Like the beast of burden you are.](else-if: $Strike is 5)[This is your life now, until your Mistress decided to release you.

You simply march, trying to ignore the way your stallion thrusts up between your legs. It made you wet, of course, but without leave to cum... it is merely frustration. How long until it became torturous?]](else-if: $Strike is 15)[The monotony of your march is broken by Cyn's sudden return, her high heels upon the floor announcing her presence before she comes into the cone of vision your blinders allowed. In her hands she holds four small slips, a bit larger than bookmarks, labeled and color-coded. Of course as a pony you could not read what they say, but you've learned the colors well enough. Role assignments, for whatever came *after* the march. Cyn makes no explanation, but merely steps forward, assigning one to each of her girls. They attach at the hip, magnetically snapping to the band of your harness that circled each thigh, hanging down like a short banner.

You're breathing heavily now, chest rising and falling with each inhalation you push through your nose, but you endure. What other choice do you have? Rigged up like some manner of farmyard beast, you can no more stop your march than you can escape it. The treadmill keeps going, and you're forced to comply. The window before you, before which you and your team are placed, does give you a lingering reminder that you could be elsewhere. Night and snowfall make it difficult to see, but the streetlights illuminate the street below, revealed by the one-way window that surrounded this floor of Cyn's shop. Occasionally you see a passerby shuffling through the snow, bundled up, sometimes with a parcel in hand or slung over their shoulder. Perhaps going to a store or bar open late, perhaps simply heading home. You, meanwhile, are enslaved. Bound and made to march, punished if you ceased, pounded between the legs by the cock that by now is almost numbing in its aggressiveness. You fight the urge to cum, grateful for your bit gag, its strict hold upon your mouth preventing anything but the occasional grunt.](else-if: $Strike is 25)[(if: $Blue is true)[As $Name, you're young, well-trained.

For the first time you stumble, your leg failing to high step. The straps connected to the ceiling hold you upright, preventing your fall, but your suit is not so kind. The shock between your legs is immediate, as sharp as any slap or whip. Moaning in anxious frustration you leap back up, trying to sync back up with your fellow ponies. A few of them moan themselves, but none of course can render any help-- and soon you're back in line, marching. Ever marching.](if: $Yellow is true)[Your legs and lungs are truly burning now-- but that only excites you. Being pushed *hard* was how you preferred it, even if you body protested.

"$Name." You glance down, only to notice your treadmill has stopped. In fact... as you glance to each side you realize you're alone, the other treadmills emptied. The march...? "It is over," the words as soothing as the source, which you recognize immediately. Cyn. Your Mistress. Her hands are already upon your body, undoing the straps linking you to the machine, freeing you-- and yet still leaving you so utterly bound, helpless, her slave and pony. At least you don't need to march anymore. Six hours... had it gone quickly? The sky outside the window shows little difference. Perhaps it was a bit darker. Her hands find your reins, as always her grip is firm, guiding you back off the treadmill. You shake out some of the weariness in your legs as Cyn merely observes, her smile as bright as her eyes in that moment. (if: $Red is false)[Over her shoulder you can see Red, bent over in some sort of device, but Cyn gently guides your gaze back to her.] A hand is upon your cheek, while the other reaches down... to your womanhood? No. Of course not. Your stallion has ceased his movement, but you were not going to be allowed satisfaction so easily. Not yet. Instead she fingers the small latex strip clipped to your thigh strap, which she had placed there hours ago, nearly forgotten now. Your assigned role, for whatever came next. (if: $Blue is true)[Purple. Show practice.](if: $Yellow is true)[Orange. Work Detail.](if: $Red is true)[Pink. Breeding.](if: $Silver is true)[Pink. Breeding.] "How are you, $Name?" [[Tired.

"I know you are," Cyn replies. Her tone is gentle, but firm. Unyielding. "But you're mine to work as I please, aren't you?" She doesn't need an answer to a question she knows all too well: of course you are. Instead she pets you gently, most on your flanks, as she continues. "I've already set the others to their next individual tasks, you're the last. I'm sure you remember what your tag indicates?

"Of course you are" Cyn replies. Her tone is gentle, but firm. Unyielding. "Good. I've only began to work you hard." She pets you gently, most on your flanks, as she continues.

"Follow me." You have little choice, of course, as her hold upon your reins remains tight indeed. (if: $Blue is true)[Clearly you're not going particularly far, but your path does take you past Red, glimpsed earlier. She's bent over in the standard sort of stockade Cyn utilized, her head secured in the crossbar, her legs spread and kept there by additional chains linking her ankles to the supporting feet. You note duress in the way her hips twitch, thrusting her rear up, presenting her cunt readily despite Cyn keeping a wide distance. "She is being bred," Cyn notes simply, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. You cannot help but stare. The breeding program was one of the more advanced training regimens Cyn required of her ponies, and you had yet to be subjected to it. The semen was fake, Red's stallion merely making it *feel* real, but still the prospect terrified you a bit. And something is clearly different here, as you've seen Red before in such a state... she's moaning lewdly, eagerly even. Was that... her present, somehow?Cyn doesn't explain. Instead she leads you to the far side of the room, several devices lined up near the center hiding Red from view. [[Together you entered a cleared area of the dungeon.->BlueEnd]]](if: $Yellow is true)[Immediately Cyn makes for the stairway on the far side of the room, allowing you an ample viewing of Red, glimpsed earlier.

The area is cleared, but ringed with something unexpected-- cameras. Cyn seems to note your pulling away, as her yanks sharply on your reins in that moment, reasserting her dominance. With your head forced down she leans in, her head up against the side of your mask, her lips all but whispering. "SShh, sshh, $Name. I know. You're scared. I will explain," she presses her hand between your legs, a strong move indeed, and one that *does* shamefully calm you. Only then does she continue. "You will be going through your show routine, $Name. And I will be filming you. This will be your debut, as I will be releasing them on the extranet." She holds you tight as fear overtakes you again, but Cyn is unyielding. She waits for you to calm. "I know, I know. But you are a show pony, $Name. And the greatest gift I can give you, as your Mistress... is the opportunity to share yourself with the universe. You will be a hit, I am sure of it. Dancing and prancing... and cumming. I will allow your stallion to bring you to climax... just as your routine reaches its finale. For all your soon to be fans to enjoy." She's smiling, her eyes alight with the glittering reflection of your own blue form in her jade gaze. "This will all be for you, my $Name. This is my gift." Her hand between your legs strokes gently along the edges of your insert, the sensation *immensely* frustrating. "Merry Christmas, $Name." [[A Merry Christmas indeed...->End]]

Flicking the pink band hooked to your thigh, Cyn smiles. "You know what to do, $Name." You do. Approaching the stockade, you bend over, placing your neck in the groove along its bottom portion. Cyn then slides the upper bit down, locking you into place, before securing your ankles to the legs by short chains. The posture required of you is wide, and your Mistress is keen to see your stance improved, her two fingers rapping sharply against the base of your cunt plug. "Cunt up, breeder. For your mate." You submit, of course, pushing your rear up readily. Your tail rises too, and given your wide stance the posture reveals the smooth path between your legs, the hidden pair of plugs locked inside your holes all too ready. Circling to your front, Cyn then connects two small tubes to your nipples, slotting directly into the discrete ports recently installed there. As was now common, you would be milked when being bred-- something you quietly look forward to, the way your breasts had started to ache over the last few hours of the march. Instead of engaging your torment however, your Mistress circles you again, stepping up behind you. She bends over, her chest upon your back, so that she can lean in to whisper into your helmet's audio receptors. "$Name... your stallion is fully prepped, of course. I loaded a full set of fresh loads into him prior to your arrival. But... this is my present to you, $Name. Only for you, as my gift... the secret is that your mate has different programming this morning. He will be demanding, as always. You will be filled until it feels like you will burst, as I *know* you like. But your stallion, $Name, will be seeking your satisfaction tonight too. Just this once. Merry Christmas." [[A Merry Christmas indeed...->End]]

Together you descend, down one level, then two. At the ground floor you exit out the back, into the snow, but not before Cyn had paused to throw a heavy coat over her otherwise rather exposed outfit. Footfalls mark the paved path you know to exist back here, some of them human, others hooved. The source of the latter is revealed to be Yellow, who is affixed to the usual plow-- although she seems to be enjoying herself, moaning quite lewdly as you pass her by. Cyn ignores her, besides a lingering smile, and instead makes for the stables. Within you find it as you saw it earlier, and for a moment you think it likely Cyn is merely taking you to your cell. That is where she maneuvers, the $Name label prominently displayed upon your door marking it as such, but as she opens the door you realize the cell is neither empty nor unoccupied. Onyx is here. She's bent over into a stockade, her legs spread, her obsidian mask observing you and Cyn readily. Across from her a second such stockade awaits, this one's maw yawning openly. "You know where you belong, $Name." Of course you do. When Cyn releases your reins you approach the device, bending over primly at the waist. Once your neck is against the indent in the lower portion, your Mistress pushes the upper bit down, heavy locks ensuring you could not withdraw your head once installed. Automatically you spread your legs, beating Cyn's need to speak the command, but she does take the time to secure your ankles to the legs of the device-- forcing you to keep a wide posture. Fully restrained now, you're face to face with Onyx, her larger frame and glistening mask only a few inches from your own. "The others are enjoying my gifts," your Mistress explains, standing between you and the other pony. "I am giving them what they desire, allowing them to cum... I do not describe it as a moment of mercy, but that is what it is. I am being soft, just for tonight." She smiles wistfully for a moment, then crosses her arms, looking between you both. "Gifts are for people, however, and Onyx you are not one. This may be Christmas to me, but you will undergone your usual breeding training. You will not be allowed to cum, your stallion will not be gentle. Cunt up." She reacts immediately, raising her rear up as far as her bondage would allow, which in turn presents the smooth run of latex between her thighs an the cleft of her rear. Beneath would be her plugs, positioned as if an actual male stood behind her, ready to get to work. As always, her posture is immaculate. Cyn turns to you. "My beloved $Name... my gift for you today, such as it is... is to be denied one. You are going to be subjected to the exact same breeding program Onyx undergoes. You will not be allowed to cum, your stallion will do as he pleases. You will be treated as the pony you are. A thing, and not a person." She smiles gently. "Merry Christmas, $Name. Cunt up." You submit, lifting yourself, presenting your rear and tail just as Onyx had. Across the way the other pony looks at you, incapable of speech, her face much like your own-- a featureless panel of glass. But you sense something there, in the way she twitches her hips, the way she allows her braided mane to fall to the side... something like *respect.* [[A Merry Christmas indeed...->End]]
