Remedial Psychology of Human Interactions
348 Days Left?
His compiled information read as the following, gathered from many sources? some heresay, others eyewitness accounts, and finally archived knowledge of the past (whether or not the information was accurate):
Slaves may not use a free person?s name to their face; only Master or Mistress.
Slaves may not touch a weapon.
Slaves may not strike a free person.
Slaves may not own personal property; any personal effects are property of a slave?s owner and bestowed to the slave.
Any slave may act of their own accord until summoned.
Any free person may discipline a slave however they may not cause permanent physical damage.
A slave may not use the words ?I or Me? in reference to herself, only ?this girl? or ?this boy?
Flickers of amber illumination fought back against the ebony of night, seated near the candlelight the man known as Gunner sat examining translations of Gorean documents near the area where Brutin kept his slavegirls; ones recently completed as requested by Tara.
Was it an interesting read? Certainly.
To the war veteran, the concept of power struggle within Gorean society between the Master and the slave was only marginally different from how major political powers clashed in the attempt to show strength. One thing that did linger in the mind?s subconscious was how ironic parallels could be drawn between domineer and submissive with commanding officer and loyal soldier; this single question smoldered in psyche? wondering if that was why Brutin and Tara liked keeping him around. Perhaps in the time that he has left, he could at least attempt to wield the force of will? after all it was better to "burn out, then to fade away.?
It would require more data, methodic analysis, and not only the understanding of theory but the ability to execute in applied practice.
The hushed whisper from prying sets of eyes came from a hairline crack in the doorway to Gun?s makeshift study area. Penelope and Portia for the better part of their own learnings, kept much distance and avoided any close interaction. For even though this man was a stranger to them, but clearly if he had access to the compound they were smart enough to know there should be a valid reason for his presence. From brief glance to utter mental isolation, he simply wished to analyze the data at hand and paid no attention to the girls as they roamed freely within the compound. Being removed so long from his previous stint in the realms, namely the equivalent of 30 Earth years due to time latency, while Gunther remembered much of his previous life, it had simply been too long. Something just wasn't clicking in regards to keeping Nadine's personality in check, the task grew more difficult as her Owner was away on extended leave.
Enlightenment.
The soldier finally broke the psychology in epiphany with terms he could understand and note such into his palmtop to serve as a training primer for his own personal reference. For many, the mistake is confusing behavior control for the actual exertion of will... a technique like Pavlov's Dog and Bell was suitable as a conditioning mechanism, but a terrible example of how to explain the Domination / Submission relation. While the Pavlov conditioning technique could be used as a tool to the ends of exerting the will of a Dominator, it simply lacked the verbal communication.
---------------------
Do {while rule broken | until obeyed}
-- reprimand (increase if necessary);
-- communicate reprimand's reason;
-- await acknowledgement;
Loop
---------------------
She was testing him, pushing the limit of accepted boundaries; ?testing the leash? if you could define it as such. The next time Nadine and Gunther would meet would be the first test in his journey into a new world? with the contract's termination, the only opportunity cost would be the road not taken.
